JUNEAU DRAMA CLUB SHOW IS
 HUGE SUCCESS
Second Peri ance of Loose Ankle" Tonight
 at Coliseum, 8 O'Clock

With a polish that would do cred- it to many a professional troupe, members of the Juneau Drama Club presented their first play, Loose Ankles" last night at the Coliseum Theatre before a large audience that had only praise for the ex- cellent presentation. From overture to final curtain there isn't a dull moment in the club show and its second appearance at 8 o'clock to- night should win another capacity house.
 Loose Ankles" is an entertaining comedy and not line of the spark ling farce was lost when the Ju- neau players offered it last night. The entire cast showed excellent coaching and unusual ability. Good comedy is probably the hardest thing to present and the fact the club players carried it off in such fine style is indicative of the hard work and aptitude that has pre- vailed from the beginning The play is fine compliment to the cast the club and the directors and Ju- neau can well be proud of them.
 The show itseiI IS of the breezy type and has to do with the trou- bles of an attractive young woman with too much family, members of which all want to get in on the fortune left by a relative. Miss Mildred Logg as Ann Harper is the girl and fine job she makes of it.. opposite as Gil Barry is Stanley Nygren and the way they carried off the difficult early morn Ing scene at the Harper manor was an excellent piece of work.
 Grace Ramsey as Aunt Sarah El- ling, Everett Erickson as the philo- sophical hoofer, Walt Woodward in the difficult role of the pompous old uncle and Edith Danielsen as the woman who knows her way

TEXAS ROOKIE
INSPIRES SOX

CHICAGO, May 24.-Part of the
answer to the winning ways of the
victory-craZy White Sox is pro-
vided by Johnny Whitehead, a

the Texas plains.
Five pitching triumphs in his
five starts have lifted the name of
Whitehead to the top among
rookie hurlers, and the Sox have
more than their share.
Whitehead, a husky young
giant, has been unawed by major
league batters. Even tough going
has failed to rough his cool tenn
perament.
Scornful of relief pitchers, he
worked every minute in all of his
games, allowing a hit here and
there, getting an occasional strike.

terS pop harmless grounders to
the infield.
Critics looking for an answer to
the sudden rise of the Sox from
second division team to first
place in the American League see
Whitehead as one of the leading
factors.

mixes with good fast ball and an

If you were to ask Bill Terry

answer probably would be-open-
ing games of series on the West
ern trip. Why? Since the New
York Giants left home on the
jaunt through the hinterland, the
Giants have dropped the initial
setto with the Reds, the Pirates,
and now the Chicago Cubs.
Furthermore, Terry had some
thing to do with this defeat. It
was his double error on an easy
pop by Kiki Cuyer, late of the
Cubs bench, which enabled the
Cubs to knot the score at A in
the sixth inning of yesterdays
game, climaxed by Cuyler's homer
intthe eighth. In short, the Cubs
won the opener 6 to 4.
