 National league sluggers were in- clined to make light of the Pirate rockies minor league strikeout rec ord. They pointed out that his rec ord of 20 whiffs in one game, made while pitching for Albany against Syracuse, was not to be taken sci ously because it was made in . night game.
 As for HIS great effort against the Cardinals-just flash in the pan. Blanton would have to do more than that to prove he was not merely one of those morning glor- ies' that so often bloom in the spring.

 While he was away, MT. Hayes made round trip flight to Flat leaving Fairbanks last Thursday and returning Friday.

"It was quite impressive to realize that I had already been in Fairbanks three days when those who had left Juneau day ahead of us arrived,y MT. Hayes said.
 Late Ice Break-Up
 Interest in the Nenana ice break up was keen in Fairbanks and on Saturday oldtimers predicted that it would be from two to four days before the ice could move, accord ing to Hayes. Most people in the Interior City expect it to go out later than ever before and some thing it will be as late as May 16, he said.
 In spite of rumors to the contrary afloat in Juneau last week, ice in the Cinema Slough had not yet moved, Hayes said.

Adds Two More Wins
By Pap

Cyfwasnt long in coming through with more evidence that ought to be convincing. The second time out he beat Cincinnati with six hits and to make it more interesting he famed a grand total of II Red batters in turning the trick. He scored his third victory by beating Dizzy Dean ard the Cardinals 3 to 2.
 Blanton isn't likely to approach the mark of 165 strikeouts he rang up last season in the International league but he is off to fine start with 9 in three games.
 The one big drawback in the case of a youngster coming up to the big show with a reputation for throwing fast ones past .batters is that they are likely to break their

He defeated Connie Mack's crew in the only game he pitched for the Yankees last September.
 The chunky rookie gave the Attn letics eight hits and two runs in scoring his recent victory but the impressive thing was that he stop ped Jimmy Foxx after the slugging catcher had hit safely in the first eight games Of the season.

Yesterday was Mothers Day, but there was one mother who didn't get much favor with Juneau's base ball fans, intent on witnessing the City Leagues seasonal opener. The digfavored one, Mother Nature, wept great puddles of rain all over Baseball Park to prevent Legion and Elks teams from meeting.
 But, at 6:30 o'clock tomorrow night, the City Baseball League will try again This time, the regu- Flarly scheduled fracas between the Moose and the Elks will be at tempted, despite the fact that the official weather forecast for tomor- row indicates more rain.
 As for yesterdays postponed Op- ening Day festivities, which includ- ed a parade, flag raising and first ball" throwing, they will be held next Sunday Just what the pro gram for that day will be was not announced today by President Will jam Holzheimer. It may be prob able that the postponed Legion Elks tilt will be played then. The original schedule lists the Legion and Moose team for mix next Sunday
 Manager Alt McKinnon Of the Moose today announced his battery for tomorrow's unofficial opener The willy McKinnon will present a new pitching face to fans when he sends big Dave Turner, formerly of Anchorage, to the mound to quell ohe 1884 champion Elks. Catching Turner will be Pete Nello.
 Manager McKinnon could not give a starting batting lineup, in- asmuch as many of this players, including Walter Andrews, Jimmy Manning and Molly MacSpadden, probably will report from work liter the game has started.
 Mean while. Manager A. T. (Shavey) Koski of the Elks is ex- pected to stick with his previously announced battery of c. H. (Big Mac MacSpadden, as pitcher, and Kelly Blake, behind the plate.
