urer Leslie Mann, the international
Amateur Baseball Federation rapidly

that goal for the 1910 Olympics. But
they do plan to hold amateur baseballs
international World Series" in Eng
land that summer and then submit
their application to the international
Olympic Committee at the games in
Finland in time to be included on the
1914 program.
Baseball, like any other sport, must
show that it has the active support of
10 nations banded together in fed

Japan, the Philippines, Australia and

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The limb on
which the experts" crawl at the be-
ginning of every baseball season turned
out to be q pretty stout. piece Of wood
for 23 Of the diamond writers during
the 1888 campaign.
That number. of the 60 who parti-
pated in the annual Associated Press
preseason pennant poll last April,
picked the New York Yankees and
the Chicago Cubs to win their re-
spective league championships.
Only two Of them, Charley Segar of
the New York Daily Mirror, and Sid
FEEDER, Associated Press baseball editor,
hit the nail on the head" again in
picking the Yankees in four straight
for the World Series in the Associated
Press" series poll last week.
Good Line on Old League.
Four picked the 1928 finish in the
National League race correctly, but
only one, Harry Keck of the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette, also went for the
Yankees in the American League. The
other three to select the Cubs, Pitts
burgh Pirates and New York Giants
in that order were Harvey Boyle, Pitts
burgh Telegraph; Maurice Shev-
lin, st. Louis Globe-Democrat, and
]. E. Wray, st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
But Boyle and Wray chose the Tigers
to take the American League cham
pionship away from the Yankees, and
Shevlin thought it would be Cleveland.
Not one of the selectors managed to
name the complete first division for
either league. The Cincinnati Reds,
who skyrocketed from the cellar into
fourth place in the National League,
fooled most Of the experts. Only Fran
els Stan of the Washington Star and
Cy Peterman Of the Philadelphia In
quirer got the Reds into fourth place.
In the American League none got

PREPARATIONS UNDER WAY
 FOR MEMORIAL POPPY SALES

Preparations for the observance of Poppy Day, Saturday. May 18th are being completed by Wrangell Unit of the American Legion Aux iliary. Mae Grant, Unit President. announced today. Plans are being developed to distribute memorial poppies in every part of the city.
 Honor the World War dead and and aid the wars living victims. is the meaning of the memorial poppy. The poppy, which bloomed so strik- ingly among the trenches and battle graves in France and Belgium, be- came the flower of the dead during the war. Ever since the war it has been worn in all English-speaking countries annually as an individual tribute to the men who gove their lives in the conflict.
 "The little red flower takes added significance from the fact that it is made by the war disabled. and that it contributes To the welfare of the disabled men and the dependent families of veterans. Everyone who wears a poppy on Poppy Day. not only is showing remembrance and honor for the men who died in the war, but is giving help to those who still are bearing the burdens of the war in suffering, privation and lost opportunities All contributions made for the flower will go to support the rehabilitation and welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary which means so much to the disabled vet erans and the families of the dead and disabled.
 The women of Wrangell Unit are making great efforts for a success ful Poppy Day this year and are hoping that everyone in Wrangell will catch the spirit of the day, and will join with them in "honoring he dead and the disabled',.

5 MILLION DOLLAR PEACE
 INSURANCE PLANNED ALASKA

Prospects for carrying some phas- es of the program for the defense of Alaska carefully built up by Dele gate Dimond during the five years he has represented the Territory in Congress. came to the front with in- creasing intensity during the past week in Washington. states a recent bulletin from the Delegates office, prepared by J. J. Eek1es, secretary to the Delegate
 A Naval establishment for the Territory is now centered in what is presumed to be q Navy Depart ment construction bill. introduced in the House April 27 by Represen- tative Vinson of Georgia, Chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs. which would authorize an appropriation of five million dollars for a Naval Air Station, Kodiak. Alaska: Aviation facilities, inelud- ins buildings and accessories and purchase Of land"
 A list Of construction proposed and approved by the War Depart mcnt and submitted to the House Committee on Military Affairs this week contains Alaska items total ing $404.850. Of this amount. S21,- 25O would be used in rehabilitation and construction of noncommission- ed officers quarters at Anchorage, $349,O50 for hospital, noncommis- stoned officers quarters, magazine warehouse. utilities and theater at Chilkoot Barracks, and S34,550 for noncommissioned officers quarters and radio station at Juneau.
 Representative May of Kentucky chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs. in discussing the construction proposed by the War Department in Alaska with Delegate Dimond said that he also favored construction of the Army Air Corps station to be established near Fairbanks This air base is one of six which was authorized to be established in strategic locations in the United States and Alaska by the Wilcox Air Defense Act, approved in 1885. The only one of these on which construction has actually been started is at Tacoma, Washing ton.
 When hearings were held on the subject three years ago military av- iation experts recommended the con struction of the Alaska base, which was estimated to cost approximately 10 million dollars In recent speech in the house, Delegate Dimond urged that the Fairbanks station should have facilities to aecomodate 1000 army fighting planes.
 Some opposition is expected in Congress to both the Military and Naval public works construction works programs, although it is not believed that it will be as strong as that expressed against the Navy eX- pansion program set up by the Pres ident, because of the more brennan ent character of the works to be es- tablished under the construction program, the fact that they are of value only for defense, and that a larger amount of the money so used would be paid directly for labor than would be true in battleship construction. Adm inistration appro- val of both the Navy and Army pub lie works construction programs will undoubtedly expedite action by Congress. It is reported that the War Department is ready to start construction of it's entire program

the feat in the fifth and again count

enth, giving the visitors a 6 to
lead at the end of the seventh frame
The visitors were blanked in the
eighth, but in that inning Libby
went TO work. NearWski was
walked, Allen struck out, and then
Phillips clouted one into deep CEN

scoring NareWski ahead of him.
Helm followed with three base hit
and scored That tied up the count.
But in the ninth frame Occur

Gorton got to first on a safe hit,
Vincent put out home run scoring
Gorton, Oslund followed with a two
base hit and later scored on hit
by Barnett. Libby was BANKED in
