DOUGLAS GAME

The best ball game of the series was the Elks- Douglas conflict in Douglas Saturday morning. Both MacSpadden for the Elks and Err skine, the rival hurlers, pitched fine ten-inning ball under a blist- ering sun and before a big crowd of holiday fans.
 The Elks counted first in the fourth inning, making three safe ties good for one score, and added two more in the fifth on double and two singles. Bonner lost a ball in the leftfield bushes to circle the bases and open the Douglas SCOT ing in the last of the fifth, but Eliott'S double, single and a squeeze" were good for two more Purple counters to give the Elks a five to one lead, with what was slated for the last half of the sev- enth and last inning coming up. Elk errors and two-bagger and single filled the bases to set the stage for the star, Erskine, who duplicated Bonner's feat by losing the ball in the same clump of brush for another freak homer, tying the score. The payoff came in the last of the tenth, when Will Hams doubled and Livie singled to drive him across, with the winning run for the Islanders. Erskine fan ned fifteen batters and MacSpad- den nine.

The Moose hitters were too much for the pride of the Legion pitch ing staff in their Fourth of July Eve meeting, taking three Legion singers down the line for thirteen hits and dozen tallies, while Picinini and Rogers, the Moose hillmen, gave out only three safe ties and nary sign of a run.
 A double, single, walk and a hit batter were good for three Pap runs in the first to win the ball game right there. A couple more were added in the fourth on walk, pair of one-basers and a mass of Legion boots. Another quintet of Moose markers came in the fifth on four singles, double

MOOSE TEAM
 TAKES MONEY,
 FOURTH GAMES
Paps Nine Masters Full Strength to Take Holi-
 day Series

Twenty seven hits and twenty two runs in two games put the Moose team out in front of all opposition as it walked off with this years Fourth of July money series by defeating the Legion 12-O on Friday evening and taking Doug las into camp 10-3 in Saturday afternoons finale. Douglas won from the Elks, 6-5 in ten innings in the holiday morning game in the Island city.
 The Moose, with full strength mustered for the series presented the strongest baseball aggregation seen in Juneau this season and easily held big edge over all the other teams. Tal Picinini, Moose hurler, was the main cog in the Pap machine, appearing on the mound in both his teams games.
 The $275 pot put up for the series was split among the four teams; the Legion and the Elks, first time losers, receiving $50 per team, Douglas $75, and the Moose as winners $1O0. Each player on the Moose squad received approxi mately eight dollars.
 FINAL GAME
 Four Douglas chuckers were un- able to hold the Moose sluggers in the big holiday afternoon game, being nicked for fourteen safe hits and ten runs, while Tal Picinini had an easy time with the Island batters, allowing but five scattered hits and flaming thirteen.
 Jensen started on the hill for the Islanders and lasted through the first frame with but one mark CT being counted against him, on a walk and steal to second by For sythe from where Hawkins singled him home. An extra mighty circuit clout to left field by Stan Grum- melt to open for the Paps in the second was followed by walk and a double off Joe Werner's bat to count two more Black Sox tallies and send Claude Erskine to the pitchers slab to relieve Jensen. Erskine was still tired from his ten-inning hurling in the morning game and was touched for a single and Forsythe's double to add two more scores before he could get the side out.
 Double Play
 The Moose opened in the third with single, but a nice double play saved Erskine before any more damage was done Andy Balog went to the rubber for Douglas in the fourth but was got to for three counters on a walk, sacrifice and three singles in that inning, and a double by Grummett and a single to count two more before he gave way to Jimmy Manning in the fifth.
 Manning proved that he should have been on the rubber all the time by blanking the Paps the rest of the way, allowing only three scattered singles. But the damage was all done, as the Black Sox al- ready had ten runs, more than enough to win the ball game.
 Douglas counted their first score in the sixth on Erskine's double, Andrews single and a Moose error; then added two more in the ninth on a hit batter, single, a walk to fill the bags and an error at shortStop to let two runners across.

PROBATION AND PAROLE

Director Hoover of the "G-men" has every rea-
SON to be indignant against the maladministration
of the parole system in many states. Practically
every special agent of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation who has died on the field of battle
against criminals" he said in his recent Phadel-
phia speech, "has been sent to his death by gun
in the hands of paroed convict" His words should
be warning to every official in every state who
has power or influence in the granting of paroles
or pardons Of the 1900 most desperate, vicious
enemies of society listed in the F., B. /. files at
Washington, says Mr. Hoover, 1874 of them have
been paroled or pardoned. 1t is the minority OF
paroled convcts who fail to live up to their prom
ises who become the worst lawbreakers. These are
post graduates of the criminal colleges called Gre
formatories." This group, Hoover points out, in
cludes such villains the twice-freed murderer in
Florida who promptly went out and committed
double killing; the paroled convict in Montana who
kidnapped the daughter of his benefactor; the Dill
fingers the "Baby Face" Nelson's, the "Pretty Boy
Floyds and the Alvin Karpises. None Of these mer-
tied parole = precious special privilege which
should 90 only to the deserving the men with good
records men who are going back to honest work.

When the president is to speak
in a large stadium or auditorium,
the whole structure is searched
as if by fne-tooth comb.
Hours before the presidential
party arrives, the building is
practically sealed tight. with Sc

constant guard. Through the
stands usually are scattered hum

under SeclSt Service supervision.

Wood, first assistant to Startling.
AT the outset of every trip Wood
goes through the entire train and
checks up on everyone on board.
Only the presidential party,

do men travel on the train.
About a mile ahead daShes a

The greatest strain comes when
the president leaves the train to

cities, motorcycle cops usually
travel ahead, followed by a pilot
