Pioneer Stag
 Banquet Was Great Success

The big Pioneer Stag Banquet held Monday evening was crowd ed with Pioneers young and old, all assembled to eat Turkey and enjoy good comradeship. The oc- casion being the anniversary of the Pioneers of Alaska, Igloo No. l, which was presided over by President 'Chas. Code.
 The Social Committee headed by Gene Kell and composed of Chas. D. Jones, Chas. Alexander, Denny Loveway, Amer Rydeen, and Carl Lindell, put over an un- usually good time. Mrs. E. l.. Kell, and Denny Loveway were the chief cooks and the turkey could not have tasted better, was the verdict of every attendant.
 Presided over by Chas. H. Code President of Igloo No. 1, the gath ering after cleaning up on the good eats, sat back to listen to stories and "reminiscences. Ac- cordion music was furnished by Carl Hansen, and proved to be just what was needed to com plete the evening. Cigars and cigarettes donated by John Litch tenberg, and Beer and wine by the National Grocery Co.,, were enjoyed by everyone.
 Some of Nome's famous story tellers were in fine fettle, and en livened the evening with their many anecdotes. The mood of the evening was voiced by several when they said that the Pioneers of Alaska was the one organiza- ton in the Territory concerned primarily in the development and progress of Alaska, to the exclusion of all private princip- les.
 And speaking of principles, the story comes to mind of the gen. tleman who said to another: You have the homliest wife I have ever seen" The other man immediately resented it and the fight was on. A friend of his stepped in and stopped the fight, saying: Why, Bill, you have no wife; what are you fighting for?" Bill replied: T know it, but it's the principle of the thing I'M fighting for"

home in deep waters for s07. (Pike) Palladino was lost In the smoke with a 999 score
 Brown proved once again they are a one-man team provided one Of their men bowls good, but last Thursday night was one of those nights where none of the Brown men bowled good and the result was Q three game shutout. From now on Brown is on the spot, or in other words another week like last week and Brown will be out of firgt place. For Brown (Whale) zanberi was the big fish with 336 score. (Black BasD Piazza was not in season. thence the 29i, (tshrimp) Toletti said, l done pretty good for 0 small fish. Gobster) Sparano. yelled what do you expect from q lobster especially when he has been well boiled for 263. tFlat Fish) Mazzie sure was flat with BOA.
 Notre Dame defeated Army 2 to l in three close games. After poor start Notre Dame came back to win the next two and advance in their standing. For Notre Dame the professor was tEeD Lombardi, who was pretty slippery (and slimmy) for 342, Balloon Fish) Lattanzio was well blown up { the score of 200, (TrouD Laudati. said fish like me had to swim in fresh water, The Trout hit 300. (Blue Fish) Carangelo looked pretty with 32e, (Cat Fish) Geneva was pretty catty for a 30i score.
 Tonight Is the last night Of the third. so lets make 1t good by beat ing the leaders, especially Brown. which has hit the skids. Princeton, which bowls Brown tonight, has promised to do the trick, and inci- dentally Notre Dame has promised 10 do the same thing to California. They tell me Carmine Capobianco has bought himself a toy bowling set and has been practicing home in order to be in condition on his return, which we hope will be very soon. We also want to take this time to offer L. Piedmonte our sympathy and regrets at the death of his step father last week. So on with the game and beat first Brown and then California and make this better sea for us fishes to swim in

BEES IMPROVED
 WITH HASSETT AND SIMMONS
Stronger Attack Likely to Mean Berth in First
 Division
By PAUL scHEFFELs


 United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, Feb. 9. tUP)-The Bos- ton Bees, distinguished by the strongest pitching staff and the weakest attack in the National league last year, will be crowdhig the first division this season for two reasons and, both of them arc ewcomers-Al Simmons and Buddy Hassett.
 The Bees, with an attack as fast breaking as Q zephyr, finished in fifth place In the pennant race last season, failing to 90 higher only be- cause of @ team batting average that hovered around the .260 mark, lowest in the loop.
 Bob Quinn, president, has had only ono desire since he took over the club and that was to swing some heavier hitting power toward the Hub park. He was one of the most active of the traders at the major league meetings here and made several deals, but figures to reap the most benefit from the ac- quisition of simmons and Hassett
 simmons Legs May Fall
 Simmons, one of the best hitters ever to swing e bat in the Amer lean league, will regularly cover left field, His legs may not hold up this year, but he scored 90 runs last sea- son and he batted ,302 and hit 2l homers. If he does just as well for the Bees, Quinn and Manager Casey Stengel will be well satisfied.
 Hassett, normally Q first baseman but converted into on outfieldef last year by the Brooklyn Dodgers, has not been star performer at either spot defensively, but has proved he can consistently hit 300, Last sea- son he batted .29S, the first time Ia his six-year career he dropped below 300. He's scheduled to hold down first base in 1889 for the Bees.
 There will be e battle royal for the other two outfleld posts, John- ny Cooney, Max West and Debs Garms are last years regulars who will fight newcomers Johnny Dick shot, ,ex-P Pirate, and Jimmy Outlaw from Syracuse.
 Vince DlMaggio Falls
 Vince DiMaggio, brother of the New York Yankees Joe, seems to be definitely out of the Boston out field picture. DiMaggio, while potential star defensively, has been Q spectacular flop ct bat, His is4 strikeouts last year created a new league record and put him at the top of the league in that department for the second successive season.
 Since the arrival of his rookie twins, Lou Fette and Jim Turner, two years back, stengel's pitching problems have been few. Along with his bespectacled ace, Danny Mac Fayden, and Milburn Shoffner, Dick Erickson and Johhny Lanning stengel will present one of the leagues strongest pitching fronts.
 If Simmons legs collapse and Hassett fails the Bees may be lucky to duplicate last years finish, but If these two players click at bat, and chances are they will, look for the Bees to fool @ lot of people and find @ spot in the first division.
