RAIN PREVENTS
 2 GAMES HERE,
 LOCAL LEAGUE
Douglas and Legion Play to Tie Saturday Night,
 Five Innings

Weather permitting, the Elks and Moose are scheduled to tangle at 8 o'clock tonight at Firemen's Park in their postponed game. To- morrow night at the same hour on the local field Douglas and the Le- zion will cross bats in their post poned game, it was announced to- day by President William A. Holz- heimer.
 Effort is being made to push the games along and wind up the sea- son, Proxy Holzheimer said, and all players are asked to be on hand a few minutes before 6 o'clock so the game can start promptly.
 Rain and nightfall combined to do away with pair of baseball games over the weekend, leaving the Gastineau Channel League flag race in the same stew pot that it climbed into last Friday when the Moose took a beating at the hands of the Douglas Islanders.
 Douglas and the Legion took a running start at clearing up the situation last Saturday evening, but their game started at $40, a wee bit later than 500 o'clock, the time set, and when rain took a 20-min- ute slice out of the middle of the game, the lads could work in only five full innings before darkness chased them out of the park, leav- ing the count in a very unsettled condition four chalk marks to four other chalk makrs, a tie.
 Jimmy Manning started the fray as hurlef for Douglas, but a trio of Vet wallops in the fourth plus an- other in the fifth took the the zip off his fast one and Mark Jensen climbed the hill to do something about it. Mark clamped down OK but the Islanders couldn't garner any runs off Ward McAlister in the last half of the frame-so mo- pONJ SoO oHy "AlClC. Wdlu uiu IiiC full five periods for the Legion, allowing one hit each in four of them, but got started under diff ficulties when four Vet pebbles on four easy outs in the first inning let the Islanders cross the platter with three scores. Jack Elliott and Bob Keaton did the kicking.

from the Soviet plane was dropped until this morning, and it was then practically certain the fliers were not in the air and would not take off as darkness was falling, rain was coming down and the ceiling" was dropping. sa
 Reports yesterday morning from Seattle and Juneau and all inter mediate points indicated flying conditions were perfect, the best of weather prevailing with ceiling high and visibility ranging from Is miles to as far as the eye could see.
 Juneau expected the fliers to ar rive and also kept a lookout and every time one of the local planes arrived, the phones in The Elm pire, Signal Corps, downtown office and hangars rang, people asking 'Is that the Russian plane?"
 IHUL'S IIG SOUtStS
 When Pilot L. F. Barr, in his North Canada Air Express red WFnger plane zoomed over and around Juneau, residents were sure that was the Russian plane and au- tos carried hundreds to the water front and others hot-footed it. In less than five minutes, over 500 persons had gathered along the wharves waiting for the plane to alight on the water although scores recognized then that there was skis instead of pontoons on the plane.
 Juneau was certainly Soviet plane airminded" yesterday.

 Solution to Previous

 Metcalfe said the beautiful part of this hand was that you had to play the entire hand out in your mind before starting to play. The opening lead was read by declarer as a singleton. It was won in dummy with the king Of diamonds The eight of spades was played from dummy, declarer play ing the six.

MAY SWAYRUL|NG
Justice III and Supreme
Court Closely Divided on
New Deal Points.
Py the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
With important New Deal cases
scheduled for argument before the
Supreme Court in the next fortnight.
it developed yesterday that pro-
tracted illness was keeping Associate
Justice Harlan Stone of the bench,
with a possible effect upon the out
come Of the cases in question.
Court attaches said that unless his
illness is Unexpectedly prolonged. he
could participate in the decisions.
With the court closely divided on ap-
parently fundamental issues affecting
New Deal legislation. his absence
might be decisive.
Mrs. Stone issued statement yes
terday saying the Justices GONZALES
cence necessarily will be Of some dura-
tion," leading to an expectation that
he would not be present for the argu-
ments of the next two weeks. For him
to participate in the ensuing decisions
would require the consent Of counsel
for both sides. This consent. it was
said, however, is generally given as
matter of course.
With Liberal Element.
In several previous split-court de-
cisions on New Deal laws, Stone has
generally lined up with the liberal
element of the court-Associate JUS
tices Brandeis and Cardozo, and occa-
sionally Chief Justice Hughes and JUS
tice Roberts-in support of the consti-
tutionality of the statutes under attack.
Mrs. Stones statement was issued
as the eight other justices assembled
about conference table to prepare
for delivering a maximum of 27 opin-
ions on Monday and hearing argu-
ments for the first time this term on
New Deal dispute.
Mr.. Justice Stone" the statement
said, has had an attack of bacillary
dysentery Of the flexner type. He is
now greatly improved, but his con-
valescence necessarily will be of some
duration"
No intimation was given as to the
probable duration of the illness. 1t
was said that was impossible to tell
now.
Court attaches pointed out that As
sociate Justice Sutherland was absent
last March 10 during arguments on
an appeal brought by ]. Edward Jones,
New York securities dealer, who chal-
lenged the constitutionality of the
1888 truth in securities" act requir-
ing registration in advance of public
sale.
Not only did Sutherland participate
In the decision but he wrote the ma
jority opinion holding that the Sc
curities Commission could not compel
Jones to testify concerning a pro-
posed issue of securities which had
been withdrawn before the registra-
ton became effective. The 6-to-3 de-
cision did not pass on the validity of
the act.
The New Deal cases about to be
argued involve: The Governments ef-
fort to postpone action by lower
courts on cases challenging the con-
stitutionality Of the public utility
holding company act; the validity of
P. w. A. loans for publicly owned
hydro-electric plants; so per cent
tax on silver speculation profits made
before the silver purchase act be-
came effective; the embargo on arms
shipments to Bolivia and Paraguay for
the Chaco War, and the Ashurst-
Summers measure to require labelling
Of prison-made goods.
