Legion Stars and Holdout Player Rule Start Battles
 in First Ball Meeting

With the managers of all three remaining league teams present with their sleeves rolled above the elbow snd ready to let punches fall where they might, preliminaries for the organization of the Gastineau Chan mel Baseball League for the l937 season were fought out last night at the first meeting of league of- ficials and managers, held at the home of League President William A Holzheimer, in the MacKinnon apartments.
 Present at the meeting were Pres ident Holzheimer. e-President Frank Heinke Art McISinnon and Stan Grummet, manager and cap tain of the Moose team, last sea sons champs; Walter Andrews and Claude Erskine, manager and cap- tain of the runner-up Douglas Is- flanders; and c. H. MacSpadden manager of the Elks nine.
 First Tangle. Players
 Following a call of the role CT last seasons team members still living on the Channel the manag- CTS and officials delved into the distribution of the accounted for players of the disbanded American Legion team, and promptly the managers were deep in their first big wrangle of the evening
 At the bottom of all the turmoil was the disposition of Joe Snow the leagues prize first baseman. Big Andy" Andrews, having suf- ficient first sacker for the Island CTS in himself, declared himself cas- fly satisfied and retired from the fray with Ken Junge on his hook, leaving the remainder of the Le- zion players to the other two man. agers.
 No First Seekers
 MacSpaddenn and McKinnon then set out to outvie each other in showing that their squads con- tained neither qualified first baseman nor anyone who could claim to have ever had more than a passing acquaintance with the first sack After each had spent his explosives. the situation was still high in the air, and it wes left to President Holzhejner to as- certain the team preference of Snow

 The distrlpution of the remain der of the Lsgionnaires then pro- ceeded without further fireworks; the Elks drawing Irving Hagerup, R. H. Stevenson and Grassy Lowe, and the Moosemen, receiving Al Bloomquist, Bud Foster, and Toddy Baldwin.
 Novel;, Chief Umpire
 Everett Newell though on the past Legion roster, was not re- assigned, having sipnified his re- tirement from playing Nowell is to be assigned the post of Umpire in-Chicf, with the responsibility of recruiting corps oG arbiters to handle the schedules.
 The next biz battlc of the night was precipitatcd over the question of -the-hole" ballplayers; i; the Moose representative taking the negative side of the debate while the ElkS and Douglas fought for a rul ng which would make free agents of all ball players returning to Juneau after the opening of the schedule, regardless of their prev ious team affiliations.
 Call Backs
 Proponents of the law argued that an unfair advantage lies with the team that, after every effort has been expended to balance the teams for the season opening, can call up on former stars to return to town then hold first call upon them because of previous possession. The Moose delegates were amenable to rule placing a time limit upon du- ration of rights to former players but held out for one month afto the opening of the season as the deadline After an assortment of bowlines, sheepshanks and hang mans knots had developed in the tongues of all involved. agreement was reached that after one month from last nights meeting, or on May IS, team's claim upon former players who may return to Juneau to play bali will have expired, and all such players who report for service after that date shall be considered free agents and may be re-assigned as the league president shall deem best.
 It was next decided that the play ing season shall open on the sec ond Sunday in May, which is May 9, with the Moose, title defenders, opposing last years runner-ups, the Islanders. A three team schedule is to be drawn, based upon split seq sen. and presented in the near fu- ture.

SPECULATION OVER
C|TY'S PERSONNEL
Employees Wonder Where
They Stand in Change of
Mayors in June
HOLD MEETING JUNE 7
NewIy-Elected Officials To Take Ot-
flee at That Time; Plans VIII
Be Formulated Within
Coming Month

Following the defeat of Mayor Irv-
inc B. Watkins and the election OF
Henry T. Powell as mayor in last
TUESDAYS municipal election, there
has been increasing speculation over
possible changes that may occur in
the personnel of city employees in
the many different departments where
activities are in progress.
The fact that no change in the per-
sonnet of the Council itself resulted
from the election, and that the only
administrative change was the mayor,
may mean, some think, that whatever
changes are effected will be those de-
sired and requested by the new ex-
cutive. He said bfore the election that
he was obligated to no one. Whatever
policies he may inaugurate aad the
measure to which it is believed pre-
sent officialdom will fit into them are
expected to be a strong factor in what
will happen.
All present city employees were
elected by the City Council as it is
now constituted. No changes in the
Council were made in the election, as
all four aldermen seeking reelection
were returned without opposition.
That could mean that present en-

ployees would all be retained unless
there were objections by the new
mayor.
Talk in some quarters would seem
to indicate there might be a change
here and there, or several of them.
Other opinions are that there will be
very few
The new Council will be sworn in
the first Monday in June at p. m.
in accordance with the city charter.
Whether new officials will be elected
then is not known. The past few
years the Council has deferred these
elections until the regular monthly
Meeting on the fourth Monday. Any
changes that may occur in personnel,
however, will not eventuate until
July l, the beginning of the city's
fisca lyear.
