ALASkAFEDERAL
RENAMES BOARD
and OFFICIALS

Returning the organization ORR
ginal officers and directors to their
posts, shareholders in the Alaska
Federal Savings and Loan Associa-
ton held their annual meeting and
election here this morning at the
Associations place of business on
Seward Street.
Reelected to the board of direc-
tors we're: Harold B. Foss, John All
lers, and James Larsen; while Ray
d. Peterman was added to the board,
for the three-year term.
The annual report, submitted to
the shareholders at the meeting,
disclosed that during its first year
of operation, 1887, the Association
had completed % loans, aPpreeat-
ing $109,500. Of the loans, Is were
for the purpose of new pudding Con-
struction.
The report showed that with no
effort made to expand the activities
OF the organiZa ton too rapidly, the
Associations business had shown
constant satisfactory rate of de-
velopment since its inception. Par
ticularly pleasing was the fact that
the Association had been able to
maintain payments of four per cent
dividends on investments to share
holders throughout the year 1887.
Following the annual meeting of
shareholders, the directors of the
Association held a special meeting,
during which the following officers
were for another year reelected to
the posts they have held since the
founding of the organization:

old B. Foss, President; STAN
ley v. Grummett, Secretary; r. H.

CLEARWATER, Fla, Jan. 10
A winsome little miss of 10, who
swan a quarter of a mile up the
Detroit river when she was only 81
months old. will tell you now that
you haven't seen anything yet"
She is Marjorie Best, who with
her brother, John, two years young
er, has competed in the water with
other children from London to Cali
fornia without losing a race.
But just wait until we really
grow up says Marjorie We are
going to be Olympic swimmers"
This ambition is shared by the
children's parents, Mr.. and Mrs,
John Best who taught them to swim
almost before they could walk. The
father, a swimming coach, is anx-
ious for the youngsters to become
old enough to compete in recog-
nized meets and races.
They are continuing the gentle,
playful method of training which
enabled the little girl to swim 25
feet unassisted before She was %
months old The instruction may
become little more rigorous as the
children grow older
In her Detroit river feat. Marjorie
made the quarter mile distance up
stream, in Is minutes Then she
cavorted in the water nine min
utes longer while photographers
made pictures.
When she is not in the water,
Marjorie plays with her dolls and
gets a lot of fun out of making
clothes for them Football and
baseball are John, Jr's favorite
sports-neXt to swimming.

ing perhaps as much as Bill Dono-
van, if he should step into one OF
those fancy little hold creations of
Doc Webb, known as the double

But then again, there is just a
chance that Donovan may start
tossing Webb painfully around the
ring on the bad end of a good harIv
mer throw-you know the kind
up and over-up and overland
down, oh SO hard, each time. No
body likes to get chucked over in
a hammer throw Doc Webb will
certainly not like it, but the crowd

That other ring light everyone
is anxious TO see perform, is Gordy
Muma, who uses that dizzying head
scissors. that, if it is applied long
enough, just about lays the reci-
pient open to any sort of fall hold
Red Davis may beat Muma to
the butt" in this case, for Davis,
a cowpuncher from the Lone Star
State who you would expect to be
throwing head locks, like cow
twister, uses the head butt to good
advantage and il Muma doesn't
keep his stomach muscles up under
his ribs-just one of those butts
can do lot of damage.

BAUCH OFFERED
$4,000 YEAR BY

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 19.-Adrian
Baugh, football star, has punctured
the publicity bubble which has given
rise to rumors he was in at the re-

professional football
He added after discounting this
rumor, that he would probably sign
a contract with the Washington
Redskins, professionals, within a few
days.
Two salary alternatives faced
him, he said. One offered between
$4,000 and $4,000 a year on a
renewal contract, while the { Ter

first quarter with a 10 to 5 lead, the
half with "a to Is margin and
passed the three-quarter post out in
front 80 to %
The opening of the opening battle
was much the same as have been
the openings of nearly all Krause
games this season, the Concreters
appearing over-matched from the
outset as the Eagles piled up a u to
edge during the first quarter and
ran their lead to &c to 10 at the
half But, during the third period
the shorter Krause five really got
their collective eye on the basket
for the first time this winter and
peppered in shots from all angles.
Eleven points the Concreters hung
up during the quarter an. so con-
sistently did they keep the casaba
speeding goalward that Douglas was
held to a bare five points.
Show strategy
Nor did the Krause quint relent
in its attack during the final ses-
sion. Captain Bardi and his CO.
horts, notably forward Rudolph and
guard James, held to their strategy
of letting fly whenever even re-
motely within range, and the con-
slant hail of leather continued to
pile up Krause points as fair pro-
portion of shots found their mark.
Within three minutes of the open
ing of the fourth quarter, the Con-
creters had the Eagle ranks in tur-
mol as they climbed to within two
points of the Islanders.
Three minutes later the gap had
narrowed to but one point as the

DOUGLAS PULLS
CASABA FRACAS
OUT OF FLAMES
DeMolays Trample Elks to
Continue Victorious
! Court Pace

While firm held fair sway in the
feature tilt of the evening as the
DeMolays downed the Elks last
night in the City Basketball League
double-header at the Juneau High
Gym, the dope came mighty nigh
being dumped far and wide in the
opener as suddenly sparkling
Krause five sent a lackadaisical
group of Douglas Eagles into a sud-
den scurry to exc out a six-point
win.
The closing contest was a repeat
of last weeks game which saw the
Elks go down before the Crimson
Bears, it being once again clearly
demonstrated that a close-Set de-
tense right under the basket is too
big a hurdle for the B.P.OE. squad
to clear. While the Elks were striv-
ing to penetrate to close quarters
where their shots could have telling
effect, the DeMoloys lay back and
peppered their opponents hoop with
long twisters that apparently could
not miss; the upshot Of the matter
being that the DeMolays came out
of the fracas on top by Al to "a
score and are still flying high down
t. City League pennant course with
their record yet unblemished.
Threats
Principal threats for the DeMolays
were forwards Elmer LinGI rom and
Sammy Nelson, who, holding tho
range of the ring from all parts of
the court, sank Is and eleven points
respectively Lindstroms six buck
cts and trio of foul conversions gave
him high point honors of the eve
ming. Dick May Elk center, and
Mark Jensen, Eagle forward, split
the runner-up post with IA markers
each; while Elk forward Roy Smith,
Krause leader, Ralph Bardi, and
Douglas guard Claude Erskine also
cracked into double figures in the
point column
Stan Hill and Dale Druliner played
their best games of the season for
the Elks last evening. but to no
avail 1t was Hill who spoiled most
of the DeMolay drives under the
basket and forced them to adopt the
sniping tactics that led to the Pur-
pie and Gold win.
An embryo Elk star made his de-
but in last nights battle in the per-
son of Joe Smith, last season High
School regular. Once in the game,
Joe was in on the ball and in the
DeMolays' hair nearly every play.
Slipping Back
Notwithstanding all the blossom
ing talent, however, the Elks once
again showed themselves not quite
versatile enough to live up to their
early season promise, never coming
within striking distance during the
entire battle.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Harry

mediation of the Labor Board in

away from the workers their most
important means of protection,
