Showing substantial gain over last month and for the same period year ago, exports from Alaska to the United States in April reached total value of $1,35l ,265, according to the monthly report of Collector of Customs James J.

 Kreevich Capable
 Dykes has capable third base man in Mike Kreevich, the husky youth who has been doing a noble job of filling in the centerfield spot left vacant by the sale of Al Kreevich played third base for Kansas City. He played six games for the Sox last September and made an excellent showing by clout- ing the ball at a 435 clip. The impression is that Mike will re- main in centerfield only until Zeke Bonuna rounds into shape so that he can relieve Mule Haas of the job at first base Then Haas will return to the outfield, in center, most likely
 ! The current campaign is likely to see the passing of three Na- tional League stars who were born in the gay nineties' from the ranks of active players-Frankie Frisch, Charlie Grimm and Bill Terry.
 The cooling comfort of the dug out is likely to look mighty good to Frankie Frisch when the old summer heat starts beating down on the baked infield soil His legs showed signs of weakening last year. And why shouldn't they? They have taken more than their share of punishment since F,risch bounded from the Fordham campus in 1919 to win a place at second base in the Giant infield. He is going on 38, and remarkable ath- lete that he is, he cannot go on much longer
 Terry Has Trouble"
 Bill Terry was fortunate in hav- ing a capable substitute on hand for the opening game. Terry hated to miss the curtain raiser but his bad knees would not permit him to start the game. To many it was the beginning of the end-it is safe to venture the guess that Terry would gladly retire to manage the team from the bench if he was sure that Leslie could carry on in champion ship style. Bill makes no bones about the fact that he has been casting about for capable young first baseman.
 It must have been that Charlie Grimm let the spring air get the better of him when he announced that he would return to first base for the Cubs this year. Perhaps it was a sly little trick to spur his youthful first sacker, Phil Cavar- retta, on bit. Grimm has been in the big show since 1916, and he knows as well as anyone, and per- haps better, that he cannot stand the strain of everyday work.
 The lads who first saw the light of day in the gay nineties are be- coming more and more of a rarity in the big league playing ranks. After all, that's what we must sort of expect in 1886.

MINE SEARCH
BARESlDEAD

LOUISVILLE, Colo, Jan. 81
G.N.SO Hope for any Of the
eight miners entombed in the
3OO-foot level of the Monarch
Coal Company's No. 2 mine near
here by an explosion faded to-
day with the recovery of two
bodies, identified as those of
Leland Ward and Kester Neving-
ton.
They were found far back in
the tunnel, crushed horribly by
tons of falling rock and debris.
Rescue crews brought the bodies
to the surface shortly before
4 a. m.
Meantime, workmen dug their
way through masses Of smoking
debris in an effort to reach the
other members of the Inflated
group.
Although little hope remained
that the miners would be found
alive, State Coal Mine Inspector
Tom Allen said there was a bare
possibility that some had been at
a point where air would reach
them. They are thought to be
about a mile from the shaft.
The explosion occurred just be-
fore the day shift of 100 men
went underground. 1t wrecked
the shafthouse and sheared mas
Sive snoring timbers from the
walls of the shaft.
Hopes of wives and children,
many of whom stood about the
mine buildings throughout the
cold night awaiting word from
below, we're buoyed by the fact
that the ventilator fans remained
in order.
