Second Rate?

The Sox have more than their
share Of supposedly nondescript
shop-worn players. Mike Kreevich,
center fielder, was turned down by
the Cubs; the Red Sox couldn't use
Pitcher Johnny Marcum; the Ath-
letics rejected Rip Radcliff, reserve
outfielder; George Rensa, second.
string catcher, was first tried by
Detroit, r and many others were
found wanting by other clubs.
But those shOp-worn baseball art
lists have managed to win ball
games, and in winning have had
more fun than any other team in
either league. They seem to get a
tremendous kick out of playing ball
and act as though the pay check is
a secondary proposition. No other
team has the hustle and the spirit Of
the Sox. What they lack in me-
chanical playing ability is made up
for in the old college try.
Baseball addicts throughout the
country are anxious to see the Sox
come through. Since the unforget-
table scandal Of 1919, the Sox have
been riding in hard luck. Maybe
luck has changed for the better.

HEARING TO BE HELD ON BRISTOL
 BAY REGULATION
Fishermen Ask Open Sea- son in 1940 for Resi-
 dents-Weak CytIe

Ward T. Bower, Chief of the AL aska Division of the Bureau of Fisheries, is coming from Wash ington to Seattle to attend spec ial hearing November T on regula- tions for the l940 season.
 Two Anchorage men, Vernon Hil- liker and Ed Dodd, passede through Juneau this week on their way to attend the hearing. Represent ing Westward and Bristol Bay fishermen, they will seek to have the season opened in Bristol Bay next year at least for resident fishermen.
 In 1885, the year of weak cycle due to be repeated in i940, the Bureau opened the season in Bris- tol Bay to resident fishermen only. Hilliker and Dodd hope, in the face of an expectation that the area may be closed altogether next year, to have the arrangement re- peated.
 In 1895, Bristol Bay was fished by 467 residents. Last year the number was 1,0l3.

tack on a British freighter off the N est coast Cf Africa strengthened be- lief today that Germany has either a land or floating submarine base in the southeastern Atlantic
 The attack was reported to Gib- ralter by the 50O0-ton British steam CT Egba. from a position $40 miles east of the. Portuguese islands of Madeira.
 The Egba's captain reported that he escaped from the submarine, after being fired upon.
 Madeira lies 800 miles southwest of Portugal and more than 2OOO miles from Germany. It was thought possible that the submarine might be meeting a German surface vessel as a base of supplies.
 First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill has told the House of Commons that it is believed two Naz surface raiders are roaming the Atlantic, one in the north and another in the south. Another pos sibility rumored earlier in the war, but never confirmed. was that Ger many may have a naval base in Spains Canary Islands.

HILSCHER HAS WORDS AGAIN
 WITH CHAMBER
Writer Emerges Unstathed from Speech Before
 Severesf Critics

Laying a revolver on the table 1 in front of him for protection, " Herbert Hilscher, writer whose ar ticle in Cosmopolitan a year ago inspired criticism from the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce, spoke at today's meeting of the Cham Der.
 He spoke in an atmosphere of friendly calm He admitted there was much to be said for the Cham ber's viewpoint and Chamber Pres ident Charles w. Garter said Hil- scher's article probably wasn't quite so bad as it was thought to be at first reading.
 Hilsoher, who has spent five months in Alaska this year, pre- diets decade of great prosperity just ahead of the Territory. He reviewed conditions as he found them this year and said miners everywhere in the Interior were doing well.
 Fairbanks, Anchorage Growing
 The writer predicted Fairbanks would be a city of 10000 people by 1850 and that Anchorage would be the largest city in Alaska, ex- ceeding even Juneau within 10 years.
 Hilscher noted the absence in AL aska of a "defeatist psychology which he says prevails Outside and makes for a depressing atmosphere.
 The war in Europe should result in Alaskas seeing an increased tourist business next year, Hil- scher said, adding that those who believe tourists leave nothing in Alaska but the nickels they spend for postcards are mistaken.
 Plan Colonization
 Referring to the Slattery report, Hilscher remarked that since a certain amount of planned coloni- zauon apparently is going to be forced on Alaska, the Territory should put as much intelligence as it can into such plans"
 Visitors at the Chamber lunch con included Ava Blackerby, new Forest Service employee who will be in charge of CCC training, and Fred R. Geeslin, new Chief Clerk | in the Office of Indian Affairs here
