provided him by the officers and
other chief petty officers Of the
unit when he was coming up from
the ranks. He enlisted in the 1st
Division Of the local battalion Is
an apprentice seaman In 1925 and
has been serving in the Engineer
Platoon of that division ever since.
He is now in his fourth enlistment
and received his chiefs warrant in
June of last year. He has made
all Of the training cruises with the
local outfit since he has been with
1t. He Is q resident Of Hyattsville,
Md. and In civil life Is employed
at the Government Printing Once.
Pointing out that even though
members Of the Naval Reserve they
also were citizens and as such were
in the position and had the right
to acquaint the people Of their COM
munity with the needs Of the Navy
and Naval Reserve, Representative
Mas Of Minnesota, colonel In the
United States Marine Corps Re-
serve, addressed the District Chap
ter Of the United States Naval Re-
serve Omcers' Association last week.
He said that they should consider
it their duty to tell the people Of
the needs Of the service, particu-
larly In these strenuous times, when
there must be full state Of readi-
ness for the armed forces, both In
the Regular establishment, in their
supporting components, the Re-
serves. He said that he did not
mean that they should propa-
gandize, but that they should give
the public the facts.
The reservists, he said, could best
keep prepared by taking the various
training courses provided for them
by the Navy Department, and to
study them hard as well as complete
them.
The chapter passed q resolution
urging that all local officers, whether
afaliated with the local battalion,
or not, take one or more Of the
courses. 1t Comdr. w. G. LockhArt,
chief engineering oficer Of the local
battalion, was designated to formu-
late plans for getting more officers
to take the coursesl
Representative Mas said he pro-
poses to recommend to the Naval
Reserve Policy Board that 1t suggest
to the Navy Department that 1t
change the system Of ranking reserve
officers with those In the regular
establishment, 50 that In the event
the reserves are called to active duty
in an emergency they would take
proper lneal numbers. At the pres
ent time the reserve officers are
ranked below those Of similar
amount Of service In the regular e.
tablishment. The reserve chapter
also gave Its approval to this move.
Another proposal which Mr.. Mas
said he would push before the
Policy Board for . recommendation
to the Navy Department was that
which would permit naval reser-
visits to receive their service medals
In four years, instead Of 10 as ut
present. He pointed out that the
medal Is awarded to members Of the
Marine Corps Reserve every four
years, and he thought that the re-
serve should be put on the same
basis.
Several members Of Congress, who
are ofncers in the Naval and Marine
Corps Reserve, were guests. as were
also Rear Admiral James A. Scho-
field, Q former commander Of the
local Naval Reserve Battalion, and
now On duty In the Navy Depart.
ment, and Capt. n. q. Copeland, a
the reserve, also ca duty In the d.
partment. :. -

season this week. 1t. w. G. Jen-
nings, commander, has given inStruc.
tions to 1t. G. H. williams to make
preparations to take the vessel down
the Potomac on the first cruise. The

In order that everything will be
In readiness for regular weekend
cruises from now on, it. Jennings

5.-THE BACKUP BALL: AL though the backup or comeback ball is used by many bowlers, l uiscourage its use. When thrown by a right-handed bowler, this ball breaks to the right in direct contrast 10 the hook. In this de- livery the ball is rolled with the palm up, the thumb and fin gers underneath turned to the right This causes an unnatural strain on the arm and body and therefore is difficult delivery to control
 If a bowler uses this ball on his first shot he must aim toward the No. ? pin instead of the No. 1-3 pocket. 1 have seen many a strike made by bowlers using the backup ball in this manner but as far as I am concerned it isn't the proper way to shoot.

It has been reported that Cur tis Jacobs has resigned as um- pire. We hope that MT. Jacobs has taken no offense at anything printed in this column. Ours is a job of merely reporting and no thing personal is intended. Jake's honest and integrity needs no mans ballyhoo. No announce ment has yet been made as to his successor.
 A thing happened in the Ham, mon-Commercial contest last Wednesday night that we believe deserves honorable mention.
 In close play at home plate Umpire Nevin called the runner, Fred Waid out. Unknown to the umpire catcher for the Commer- cIals, Carl Wourinen had drop ped the ball. He immediately made that fact known to the um- pire who rightly so, reversed his decision. There fans was what we call sportsmanship. Let's give Carl a great big hand!
 We will try to have an an- nouncement as to umpires in the next issue and let's go for the second half!

The Fans Corner

There ought to be two swell games next Wednesday night to mark the opening of the second half of the series. In the first game the Nome team and the Hammon will clash. These two teams have both improved since the first half started.
 The Nome team deplorably weak in pitching and experienced catching, have bolstered both de partments until they must be con sidered as dangerous contenders for first place. At the last game if you noticed Brousseau seemed as strong in the seventh inning as in the first and his condition we really believe will improve as we go into the second half. Their infield, on the whole will compare favorably with any team on the floor.
 AS this column has repeatedly mentioned aside from catching, the Hammon is one of your strongest ball clubs and in Ho- mer Roberts if the last game is any criterion they seem to have that problem adequately solved. You can write your own ticket on the outcome of the first con- test. Our guess is Hammon.
 In the Wind-up your two strong teams meet, Alaskans and Com mercials.
 If Art Cabnboy can maintain the fast pace he has set for him self in the last two games, we give the call to the Alaskans. The Commercials are due for a beating.

Ski Activities
Contributed

In skiing as with other things there is some virtue in making up ones mind and sticking to it. Yet Dry Creek rumor has it that Nome skiers actually got up Sunday morning then went back to bed without organizing a trip to the ski cabin because one or two enthusiast claimed that it was too cold.
 They should have been at Dry Creek. It was only zero there with a bright sun no wind and plenty of smooth stretches of hard but no icy snow. The cabin was snug and it was pleasant to sit at noon and discuss the fail ings of the absent fellow -skiers
 Among those present. One drove a car within half a mile of the cabin and the rest arriv- ed by deg team. Surely Nome could produce enough more out door minded people to load up a sled for the cat.
 There is some thought of ski meet to be held a little later on. The skiers of Council are anxi- ouS to come over and clean up. And unless there is a little pract- icing done they will.
