Here After Trip
Through Interior
L. C. Herndon Finds Hours
Crowded by Increasing
Plane Radio Stations

. Nearing the end of his annua
inspection of radio stations in the
Territory, which has kept him trav-
cling at top speed for the two week.
since his attendance at the frs
meeting of the Territorial Aeronau-
tics and Communications Commits
sion here, L. c. Herndon, Inspector
in Charge of the 18th Federal Com
munications Commission Division
arrived back in Juneau yesterday
aboard the Alaska from the West
ward. He is staying here at the Gas
tineau Hotel.
Mr.. Herndon went from here tc
Fairbanks, by PAA plane, following
the Commission session, proceeding
by one day the special plane party
made up of others in attendance at
the session. At Fairbanks, he Joined
the special plane party, and flew
with them to Nome and return to
Fairbanks, where he left them again
remaining in Fairbanks about a
week, before swinging down to An
'chorage and Seward
On his trip he has inspected COM
Imercial, aeronautical, broadcast, and
other types of stations, and has
been hard put to cover the field. The
number of stations is growing very
fast, he declared, especially install
Ilations in planes. The Communica-
lions Commission has licensed near
lily thirty plane stations in Alaska,
SO far, he said, but there is yet a
great number of planes operating

PAPS Get BIC
CHANCE AT BIB
FLAG TONIGHT
Game Scheduled at Fire
mems Park at 5: 30
Islanders in Deep Hole

Maybe the last this year; maybe
just one of many more; at any rate,
another in the series of champion
ship baseball clashes between the
Moose sand Douglas teams for the
Gastineau Channel League pennant
has been set for this evening at
Firemen's Park. The contest has
been set to start promptly at $50
o'clock and continues for seven in
nings
League President William A. Holz-
heimer posted the battle for tonight,
when the sun managed to break
through the clouds for a while this
afternoon Now that it is set, the
play will go on unless rainfall, in
considerable proportions, is present
one-half hour before game time.
Though it is practically impossi-
BILE to forecast anything about the
series setup, the way tied games
have been thrown around lately, it
would seem that the Moose will
have their big chance to grab off
the flag tonight. Claude Erskine
is apparently the only Island hurler
who has any success in trying to
check the Pap hitters, and he is
hardly ready to go again tonight,
after flinging ten innings of ball
on Sunday. ,n
On the other hand, the Moose
have either Lefty Smith or Clancy
Converse ready to take over their
hill chores; and both have done
rather we'll against the Islanders.
