 OF TERRITORY
Representatives Pro gram Is Legislation Which Will
 Promote Alaska

Legislative procedure is nothing new to Representative Edward D. Coffey of the Third Division who is here from Palmer as member of the House O. the 18th Legisla tive session. Representative Coffey was here two years ago, serving as Mes senger in the House
 Commenting on his legislative pro- gram, the Representative said: My program can be told in a few words. I am down here for constructive legislation that will develop the Ter ritory." He went on to explain that such a program covers a multitude of things that Alaska needs, but, he reiterated, just sum it up by saying I am down here for con- structive legislation for the good of Alaska. Two years ago was down here to urge that Bristol Bay be kept open for residents of the Ter ritory," He still thinks so, he re- ports.
 Coffey is Secretary of the Fisher mems Union in the Territory and has served in that capacity for sev- eral years. He is, too, a practical fisherman. having hauled them in from many of the waters of Alaska. More recently he has been engaged in business in Palmer, the center of the Matanuska colony.

Needs of AIaSka'S Pioneers Are Chief
 Aims, Rep. Rogge
Legislator from Fairbanks Also Stresses Terri
 tory's Road Needs

Representative Leo Rogge, from Fairbanks, in the Fourth Division has set himself one chief task to accomplish during the present ses- sion of the Territorial Legislature here
 Representative Rogge aims to se- cure larger grants of funds for the welfare of the pioneers of Alaska
 Representative Rogge is entering his first term as Territorial Leg islator and until he has become more acquainted with the proceed ure, has not tried to formulate many plans or lines of action.
 But, he strongly believes that the Territory's pioners, the earliest set tiers of the country and those who have done the most toward it's de velopment, are fully deserving of all they may need at the hands of the Territory.
 Representative Rogge also intends to seek more highways, or at least wagon roads, and airports for the Territory. Through increased trans portation facilities only can the Territory reach it's fullest develop ment, he declared.
 Mrs. Rogge has accompanied her husband to Juneau and will remain here with him for some time before continuing southward for a visit in the States.
 Things are moving along in fine stride in Fairbanks" Representative Rogge stated.

ANOTHER NICKEL WORLD SERIES IS SHAPING UP
Yanks in Rare Form While Giants Won 5 Straight;
 Cleveland Second
BY GEORGE KIRSKEY United Press Staff COrreSpOnder


 New York, May 27.-(UP)-The billing for baseball's big October circus again may be: "See the world series on 8 nickel"
 The New York Yankees are dig ging in for a long stay in first place in the American League and the Giants are on 8 whirlwind tour of the west which may land them atop the National League before June1.
 When the Tanks and Giants meet in the World Series. The fans and sports writers call it a subway or nickle series," so-called because it takes only five cents to ride to the Polo Grounds or Yankee Stadium.
 On recent form the Tanks appear booked for another flag. The Yanks have a 6-game winning streak in- tact and a three game lead over the second-place Cleveland Indians.
 The Giants, rolled on to their fifth straight victory yesterday and narrowed Pittsburgh's lead to game and half. The Pirates were idle.

 Scoring three runs in the ninth the Chicago White Sox defeated Washington, 8-5. Carl Fischer, blew a 5-1 lead going into the seventh. Singles by Radcliff and Kreevich, a triple by Walker and Bonura's double provided the winning punch.
 Those "bean balls" Dizzy Dean threw at the Giants last week in St. Louis transformed New York into a new club. Theyy haven't lost game since. They slugged Al Hol- lingsworth and Paul Derringer for 12 hits and 6-3 victory. Gus Man. cuso led the attack with a double and three singles.

Jordan Making Good With Reds

Cincinnati, May 27-Baxter Jor- dan has been an effective batter since he broke into the major leagues. The good burghers of Cin- cinnati, who take their baseball and their Reds very seriously, are be- ing reminded daily of Jordan's bat ting ability as he goes about his job of playing first base for the Redlegs.
 The purchase of Jordan by the Reds from the Boston Bees was very helpful transaction, although at the time it was effected the citi- zens wondered what 1t was all about, as the club had two other first base- men on their roster at the time.
 There was no mystery once Jor- don joined the team. He showed them what it was all about, and the means of display he used consisted largely of batting pitchers to spots on the diamon unprotected by ene- my fielders.
 Just Right
 Crosley field is tailored to order for a hitter of Jordan's type. He Is not slugger He is sharp, line drive hitter, who is aided, not ham pered. by a spacious playing field. The reason is that at Crosley field the gardeners must play deeper to defend against extra base hits. In shorter parks they play closer, which gives them the opportunity to grab liners that might be hits on a spa cious field.
 Jordan has been in the majors eight years and hasls lifetime av- craze of .3O1. He hopes to step up this mark a bit, just as he did last wear for the Bees, when he clunoeo for a 1923 average.
 Baxter was born in Coolemee' N. O., on January 16, 1907. He now lives in Salisbury, N. c. He pats lefthanded, throws right, stands feet tall and weighs 170 ponndS Ills first professional engagement was with Salisbury in 1925 as short stop. He also played third and the outfeld before settling down as a first sacker.

 He reported total receipts as $33OL31440 and total expenditures $270, ,66O.40.

COCHRANE MAY
 RECOVER SOON
Skull Fractured in Three Places-Paper Suggests
 Polo Helmets

New York, May 27.-(UP).-A slight improvement in the condition of Nickel Cochrane, seriously in- jured with a triple skull fracture from being hit by a pitched ball Tuesday, increaseG hopes for his re- covery today.
 If complications such as menin- gitis or an infected sinus do not develop within the next 48 hours, his chances for complete recovery will be enhanced greatly, it was re- ported.
 Three Fractures |.
 The Detroit catcher manager was hit in the fifth inning of Tuesdays game on the right temple by a ball thrown by Irving (Bump) Hadley. X-rays showed one fracture almost completely circling the head, another connected with one of the sinuses, and a third branching off to the left side.
 Dr. Byron Stookey, one of the country's leading brain surgeons, who was called in to consult with Dr. Robert Emmett Walsh, Yankee club physician and Dr. Alexander Nicoll, Fordham University surgeon.
 At present no plans have been made for an operation unless crisis develops.
 Polo Helmets?
 The New York Daily News sug- gested that baseball players wear polo helmets while at bat to avoid accidents such as the one which oc- cured to Mickey Cochrane.
 We think most of these skull ac. cidents in baseball accidents could be prevented by simple device which somebody long ago took the trouble to invent" The Daily News editorial said.
 "Why not polo helmets? These helmets were devised to save polo players from accidents to the top and sides of the skull after several polo players had been killed"
