OLD BATTERY
 GOES STRONG
Baseball Records Believed Established by Two
 Players
By Pap

MARION, Ohio, Oct. 27.-Samuel M Mcintyre, 57, and William C.. Koontz, 53, have been playing on baseball teams together for 25 years and are still going strong. They believe they are the oldest active baseball battery in the business.
 Sam and Bill joined the Moral team 25 years ago. The team faced the necessity of running a double header every Sunday for several weeks to catch up with the rest of the amateur league. Scarcely fan gave it a chance but, nine weeks later, the Moral team had 18 victories.
 The McIntyre-Koontz combina- tion is interchangeable. One pitch es and the other catches-then they swap. Each insists he will keep at baseball until he is 70 years old "and then take up golf.'
 Between games Sam drives a truck and Bill works for a rail- road.

 That was after the Colorado College football team of the Rocky Mountain conference journeyed to West Point for a licking at Army's hands five years ago.
 Anyway. there is neither orange nor yellow in the c. c. uniforms this year They are gold-as near ly faithful to the door of the metal as fabric can be made.

 Wrestling
 The blond Siberian, Yokuba Bum bullevitch, awaits with glacial calm the attack of Douglas Alec Demos, who resembles nothing so much as a brick windmill in a gale.

 "Tarzra' Byington
 That hollow bccning round one hears from time to time is only Bill Byington pounding himself on the chest as he plans his method of assault on the rubber-faced Doc Webb. "Tarzan" Byington is work ing cut in private but is making no secret of what he intends to do to MT. Webb. The gentlest thing he has mentioned so far is his plan to break that gentleman's neck. Doc says that none of Ewing tons bragging is going to scare him out as long as he has two hands that will pull hair and choke windpipes. He considers the Bying- ton ribs ideal for kicking and has decided that Bill will look better with his ears cauliflowered or torn loose.

Monk Keaton, one of Juneau's leading boxing and wrestling inn pressarios, desires to make it known that he is offering action and excitement in great, large red chunks when his men of the mat and gloves tangle in the Elks' Hall on November 10. Monk claims that he can't sleep at night after watch ing the boys work out, because of horrible dreams of twisted legs, md dislocated arms, and kicks in the solar p,exus. And think of it, he shudders, they are just prac- ticing now! What a nice gentle massacre this is going to bel'

SPORT SLANTS

i When MT. Gilhooley of the h. dianapolis Gilhooleys put in an ap- pearance at the Roosevelt race way, Westbury, l.. l., the scene of the 300-mile race on Columbus day more than half a hundred racing stars of this country and Europe declined invitations to meet the gentleman formally.
 It's this way: When a racing driver meets MT. Gilhooley he gen erally finds himself in the middle of ditch with what used to be a racing automobile draped around his shoulders and other parts of his anatomy. In the process of be- coming tangled, the driver invar- iably has undergone a most un- comfortable 30 or 40 seconds.
 Doing a Gilhooley" made it's debut in racing nomenclature dur ing the hectic competition of the Indianapolis 500-miler in 1914. The identical circumstances of that per- formance will never be repeated.
 MT. Gilhooley, whose first name is Ray, has allied himself with the racing team headed by Dave Evans, ironman of Indianapolis, and spon- scred by the wealthy Brooklyn sportsman, Mac Hallery. Ray acts as racing agent for MT. Hallery
 Now, "Gilhooley" at Indian apolis, Roosevelt raceway or any other speedway in this country, is a spin which ends abrutly in a crackup. A driver is not eligible to say he did a "Gilhooley" if he rights his car. He must go through all the motions, including winding up in a convenient ditch.
 There has been a lot of discus sion as to how the term was in- troduced into the daredevils' dic- tionary.
 Stepped on the Gas
 T happened on Decoration day, 1914" explains MT. Gilhooley. Tn that race at Indianapolis I was piloting an Isotta- -Fraschini with a chain drive, heavy, cumbersome car, but one which, for those days, had plenty of speed. It was in the lO5 mile, and I was speeding around the south turn when-bang!-th was a crack like a cannon. I knew there had been blowout, and felt the car going into spin. In such a situation, race driver will ac- celerate. Down went my foot. Un- known to me, when the tire blew out it had gone with such force that it blew inside out, wrapping itself securely around by chain drive and locking the rear wheels. Thus, when I accelerated the result was to spin me even more furious ly. All in all, my car made six complete revolutions and then went over the wall. had done the first 'Gilhooley.'
 But that's not the end of the story-not by any means. While l was spinning, Eddie Rickenbacker another race driver then, not the flying hero or speedway official,

 Wyatt was drafted from Kansas City of the American Association. Fischer was a big factor in Buffa- los win of the International League crown, while Heving paced the Mill waukee Brewers in the American Association championship.

came along behind me and just avoided the Gilhooley merry go- round, running down on the safety apron Old Joe Dawson was not as fortunate. He attempted to get between me and the outside wall but didn't allow himself enough clearance and over the wall he went. Louis Disbrow just managed to get down on the safety apron. When Rick, Dawson and Disbrow had decided where to park them selves, my car picked out con- venient spot to hurdle and over we went Outside of getting a section of steering wheel through my shoulder, I hadn't scratch.
 Another Honor
 Gilhooley, a tall, husky, gray haired man with twinkling blue eyes, grins reflectively T had an- other claim to attention in those days he says. T drove Barney Oldfields famous Green Dragon for the last time. This was specially built job with a 150-horsepower en- zine that could perk up to no miles an hour I got off to a flying start, over in New Jersey, lost con- trol, went through a fence, turn ed over and knocked out a fistful of teeth.

PRIEST ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN PLANS.
 ST. TERESE SHRINE

According to Rev. w. G. LeVasS- eur, change has been made in the plans for the chapel which is being built in connection with the Shrine of St. Terese, patroness of Alaska, on the shore of Lynn Canal, g miles out the Eagle River Highway.
 The retreat house which has been already completed on the site, is of .ogs, and iU was previously planned to build the chapel of like material. However, because of the abundance of fine rock in the vicinity it has been decided to erect rock chapel.
 The chapel will be built about 300 feet from shore on a little island, accessible to the mainland by causeway. In the structure will be hung a number of oil paintings painted for this purpose by a sister n the States. The shrine will be used as a mission church for per- sons living in this district, elimin- ating the long drive to Juneau dur ng the winter months.

DOUGLAS FIREMEN CONTINUE QUEST FOR BALL GROUN DS
 A clause in the lease offered the Douglas Fire Department for the use of portion of the Treadwell sand beach as ball park by which the leaser might cancel the lease at any time, caused the Bremen at their regular meeting last night to reconsider the question in favor of another possible location. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to investigate the matter was asked to continue their efforts until suitable field is secured.
 It was decided to arrange for a fire drill to be held next Monday evening at 6 o'clock, with some of the Fourth of July prize money as the reward. Chief Mike Pusich and Angus Gair were chosen to manage the affair
 Counter attractions prevented a large attendance at the meeting last night.
