BOY SCOUTS DINNER HAS
 BIG TURNOUT
Pete Guerrero, of Douglas, Presented with Award
 of Honor

One of the largest dinners of the year was given last night by the Boy Scouts in the Moose Hall, bringing together nearly 200 fath- CTS, sons, and others interested in Boy Scout activities.
 Pete Guerrero, of Douglas, was presented with the award of honor for saving the life of Douglas Wah- to last fall. Wahto cut himself se- verely when he fell rom tree on his knife while playing cr Doug las Island last year.
 A knot tying contest was held which was won by the Norlitemen troop The program was cut short due to the fact that the hall had to be vacated by 8 o'clock.
 Capt. John M. Clark was in charge of the dinner and he was assisted by the Rev. O. l.. Kendall, We'll man Holbrook, J. w. Leivers, Curtis Shattuck. Scoutmasters pro S e n were Harry Douglas, Bob DuPree. Wayne Young and Kinky Bayers.
 The award given to Young Guer- rero, signed by Judge John A. Fra ter. Chairman of the Seattle Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, read as follows:
 When you gave first aid to Scout Douglas Wahto on your hunting trip up Nevada Creek, you put into practice the Scout Motto and the Third Scout Law in a manner call ing for the finest qualities of real Scout.
 Reviewing the rescues made in the year 1886 by Scouts of this Council, the Court of Honor has considered that yours was a case calling for special notice, and has therefore directed that you be pre- sented publicly with this Certificate of Conmendation, which will be recorded in the permanent files of the Council.
 Tt is our hope that in all the sit uations which confront you in life you will acquit yourself as success fully as you did on this occasion.
 Very sincerely yours on behalf of the Court of Honor of the Seattle Area Council

Not a Fair Test.

THE reasons why all-stars versus
pros do not make for a test are
fairly obvious. First. the all-stars do
not come from one college and, sec
ondly they are not collegians any
more. The all-stars are boys who
have finished school. Most of them
are working in business houses, coach
ing or getting ready to join the pro
ranks. The all-star player is no more
collegiate than the gent who plays
foot ball for the funds" of it.
Despite all this, though, the pros are
on the spot in these games. Take the
Giants the other night, f'rinstance
In the space of two weeks all-star
elevens had beaten pro outfits
and good ones. Even if the collegians
are collegians in theory only, it might
nave hurt the pro industry if the
all-stars, by the loose jaws of three
straight victories in September, had
proved superior.
The Giants did not outplay
the Ali-Stars at the Polo
Grounds. The Giants won, IA
to Z, but for the night, Mr..
Kerr's team was just as good.
The All-Stars were hammering fol
a touchdown in the last minute OF

nothing. Ed Linke, the three-in-

they could not do it. In the end

BATTER AROUND 400
TO GET MINOR PRIZE
None Likely to Match .419 That
Sipay Hit Last Year, but
'37 Averages Are High.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
nURHAM, N. c., September 10.-It
may not require 400 batting
averages to win the 1887 trophies
offered minor league sluggers, but the
answer will not be known until asso-
citation statisticians here have finished
poring over their figures and issue
their final official averages.
Guido Panciera of Sydney, up in
the Cape Breton Colliery League of
Nova Scotia, took a noticeable tumble
during the last two weeks of the race
and fell below the 400 line. Manager
John Brill of Brockville in the
Canadian American loop may turn up
with figure that is in excess of 400,
and so might one or two others when
the reckoning has been completed.
But it is not likely that any hitter
in the minors will touch the .41g
registered last year by Sipay of
Fostoria in the Ohio State loop. That
mark gave Sipay both trophies for the
1886 season.

Bucky Becomes Befuddled.

WHEN it was all over Mr.. Harris,

form his Redskins that Tuffy Lee

Richards can do the same thing.
Il also will have TO say that
New York has a great running
back coming up in this Hank
Soar. He can carry that mail
and Ed Danowski can pass that
ball.
Also will have to report that the
Giants line is better this year than it
was last year, and that Manton can
kick extra points and field goals with
his eyes closed. Then, too, if they get
Kobrosky, look out.
Il think I'll just tell my pal, George
that this game was just what the
Giants needed to put them on edge.

At one time, though, the Giants caught
him. Six burly guys in blue jerseys
and silver panties swooped down on
him and-tackled him at once.

his eyes and said: Hell be just

Muscles Gets a Break.

RUT there came a situation yester-
day and the gods of base ball
smiled on Joe. The highly touted
Lanahan, who already had been
Knocked out by the Yankees, also was
getting thorough going over from the
AS. In the first game of another
double-header the Macks made five
runs off him in the first inning and
another in the second for a 6-to-0
lead. Harris decided to yank Lanahan
and, looking around for guy to mop
up, he selected Krakauskas.
Pinch-hitter Jimmy Wasdell, up for
Lanahan, started rally with two out
and Washington got two runs off
Harry Kelley. who started for the AS.
Then Krakauskas went into the box.
Muscles was wild, as usual, but
not nearly as wild as expected. To
be brief, the AS, who had made six
runs and four hits off Lanahan in
two innings, were shut out the rest
OF the game with only one hit. In
moment of weakness, Krakauskas gave
up a double to Wally Moses in the
fourth inning but suddenly reformed
and left Mr.. Moses on second base.

kauskas already was registered in the

sure he gave no promise to play him.
Bucky had seen Muscles before and
