Smiling Sum Returns to
 COrdOud After DiscOrery
 of Lost Mine to Westluard

CORDOVA, Alaska, June B. Smiling Sam Gamblin arrived home on schedule after locating a lost mine in the high hills near Co., lumbia Glacier when Pilot Kirk patrick Friday night picked up the prospector at Sawmill Bay below the mountains where the mine is located.
 Sam, who arrived on the beach two weeks ago. waiting for the plane, ran cut of grub and lived on shellfish. On the last day in camp three bears invaded his tent. Fearing that he would only wound them with his 22, Sam finally set fire to the grass and chased them out, but the fire also burned his tent.
 E. E. Mcdonald located the mine in 1910, kept it a closely guarded secret, and vanished in 1881. A trip through the wilderness and discov- cry Of pack last year led to re- discovery Of the mine

BITTER SCRAP
 OVER TAX BILL
Legislative Odds and Ends Are Being Swept
 Out of Way

WASHINGTON, June 8.-With a bitter scrap over the key tax bill transferred to the Senate and House conference committees, Con- gress has set out to sweep legisla- tive odds and ends from the path of adjournment.
 Leaders viewed it as extremely unlikely for the passage of any ad- ditional major legislation. The Sem ate disposed of minor bills Saturday in an unusual Saturday session.
 The Capitol corridors presented deserted appearance with many attending Speaker Byrns' funeral and others departing for the Cleve- land Republican Convention which starts Tuesday.
 Conferences on important bills will go forward during the con- vention recess.

Charles Goldstein, local fur deal CT, returned yesterday aboard the PA Lockheed Electra transport plane from trip of 10000 miles by airplane through the Interior. During the trip MT. Goldstein pur- chased furs valued at from $75, ,000 to $100,000. He left Juneau aboard the Electra for Fairbanks on May 12, and visited numerous points in the interior from Old Crow, in northern Yukon Territory, to Chig- nix, on the Aleueian Peninsula, in- cluding the Kuskokwim River dis trict, and the Bristol Bay area, Cook Inlet, and the Seward Pen inSula.
 The first shipment of the furs bought by MT. Goldstein, which travelled by plane to Fairbanks, ar rived here this morning on the Yukon, and the balance will follow within a few days, he said. The shipment which arrived here to- day includes 800 red fox pelts, 100 beaver pelts, 75 otter pelts, 50 lynx pelts, and other items.
 Fine weather was enjoyed throughout the trip, MT. Goldstein said. Trappers throughout the in- terior have fine catch of good quality beaver pelts this year he reported.

trouble connecting solidly with the ball in training camp. It was not until Lou Gehrig pointed out to hlm that he was holding his hands too close to his body, and there fore not swinging freely, that Dickey began meeting the ball good and solid From that time on, there has been no stopping him.
 The little diagnosis Gehrig made in Dickeys case was exactly the same as Dickey offered Gehrig last spring when the big first baseman was floundering in a terrible bat ting slump. It put Lou on the right track to cure his batting ills, and apparently worked just as well in Dickey's case.

TWO-STEP JAKE GETS BID FROM
 MOVIE CAPITAL
Plans to Go to Hollywood to Help in Filming
 Early Alaska Picture

Feeling fit as a fiddle and not showing his 84 years but rather looking forward to this fall when he has been invited to visit Hol- lywood to take part in the filming of motion pictured based on early Alaska days, Two-Step Jake Hirsch, pioneer from the head of Tenakee Inlet, arrived in town at the week end for his annual visit. He ex- poets to stay until after the Fourth of July
 The youngster of 84, who landed in Juneau as a young butcher from San Francisco before there was any town here and later following the stampede to Dawson, Nome and the rest of the places where gold was found in the early days, has an invitation from the Mae West studio in Hollywood asking him to come down this fall for the making of the picture.
 Let your whiskers grow he was advised, so he is cultivating a flowing, white beard.
 Two-Step Jake is almost the last of the real oldtimers who are cred Iited with digging Gastineau Chan mel and has received several offers to capitalize on his early ex- periences in the North, but with his partner he is still taking it out of the ground, he reports, al though he thinks he'll go down to the movie capital in the fall and give them some real Alaska at moSphere.

DOUGLAS WINS FROM ELKS IN
 NINE INNINGS
Full Length Game Played Sunday, Islanders
 Taking It, Al

Lady Luck pitched some mighty fine ball for Douglas and the Is flanders romped off with four to one decision over the Elks in Sun days nine frame contest on the Juneau field Mark Jensen was on the mound for the Island squad until the sixth inning when he
 4nged places with third base man Jim Paine and the count two to nothing for his team and two ElkS cn the cushions.
 Both teams were blanked in the .rst two innings but a single, a sacrifice a second single and Big Andy" Andrews triple, nicked B POE. hurler Pete Schmitz for two runs in the last of the third Roller and Erskine counting. Douglas got it's second pair of markers in the seventh. Jensen rapped out a three-baser off Sha- vey Koski, who had replaced Schmitz Tn the fourth to pitch the Elks out of a very deep hole, and came home on Andrews single. McDon- aid safetied to move Andrews to second from where he spiked the plate when Adams threw over first base trying to make a double kill ing on Paine's roller after forcing Mcdonald at the second cushion
 One HanG oa cil
 In the Purples fourth innings Bob Jernberg connected for what lookad @ike a sure roundtrip, but Claude Erskine leaned far over the left field fence to rob him with an exceedingly pretty one-handed snatch. The Elks made no further big threat till the ninth when they chalked up their line score and mighty nigh knotted up the ball game Jack Elliott, leading off, stopped one of Paines pitch es with his jaw to stagger to first from where he turned over the run ming duties to Ralph Bardi, who swiped second for him. Jernberg rolled one to Roller who couldn't decide where to throw it until toe late to nab Jernberg at first. A double steal moved the runners to second and third. Robertson tapped to Roller who threw to the plate to nip Bardi but runner and catcher got tangled up and when the dust cleared Bardi was safe at home and Jernberg and Rob- ertson on third and second.
 Erctiing Plays
 Benson rolled to Andrews who threw Jernberg out at home, Rob- ertson reaching third and Benson first. Benson pilefred the middle station. Then Don Bradley lined one between first and second, but Bob Bonner made a blind jump to come down with the ball and step on second to double Benson and save the situation for Douglas.
 The boys from across the chan nel punched nine bingles to out hit the Purples and always seemed to have nice play handy for the tight spots; so they are still out in front alone in the win and loss columns. Perhaps it's rubbing the head of their spectacled Dicky Mccormick that does it for them.
 The next league tilt on tap is for Tuesday evening at 6:30, when the Moose will go seven rounds with the Legion on the Juneau di- mond.

SPORT SLANIS

i Bill Dickey was adjusting his tie in the Yankees dressing room after his team had pounded out 6-5 victory over the world champion Tigers. Bill had played a major part in that victory. for his two f homers drove in four of the Yan- kees' runs.
 Strangely enough, none of the conversation in the buzzing dress ing room mentioned the slugging catcher It was all about Joe Di Maggie, the sensational rookie from the Coast Z. the game-saving toss he made in the ninth inning to cut off the tying run.
 They had seen nothing to com pare with that throw since Bob Meausels palmy days they de- olared. Some even went so far as to say that Bob at his best never could have matched Di Maggio's effort.
 There is no denying that Di Mag Igio's play saved the game for the Yankees. The Tigers were roaring down the stretch with late inning rally. Pete Fox was on third anxi- ous to bring in the tying run. Di Maggie deliberately took long fly near the left field foul line on his right side and with the motion of fa oofol,a, tl,rovyipo to caco,,d to CD he threw the ball waist-high on a line to Dickey, who caught the sur prised Fox 10 feet off the plate It was a gem. And no wonder the boys were still thrilled as they changed into their street clothes.
 Such is Life!
 One of the players finally turned to Dickey and remarked that the first home run he hit into right field was "an awful poke"
 And the second one was no swinging bunt, in case any of you fellows happened to have noticed it." replied Dickey, pulling on his coat. Di Maggie and his miracle throw still had the floor when Dickey headed for the exit, wonder ing. no doubt, just why the rockies great defensive play should so com pletely overshadow the offense The himself exploded in the face of the Tigers.
 That's the way it has always been with Dickey. The fans know him to be a capable catcher and fairly dependable hitter. They expect him to come through with his share Of scoring drives and let it go at that. He has been taken for granted, more oI less, ever since he came to the Yankees in 1928.
 Heavy Hitter
 He has yielded a heavy bat for the Yankees ever since he donned a New York uniform and his average, for his big league life, is well over the 300 mark. But this spring he has been going better than ever. In the all important -batted- in" column he leads the league with 36 in 25 games. At his present pace he is certain to beat his mark of 61 tallies driven in for last season.
