Bosebo|I's Big Surprise
Provided by Giants

Baseball form still is somewhat
muddled as the major league teams

tional League, the Reds and the
Dodgers are holding up, but the
Cardinals, heavy pennant choice

predictions were under way, lag so
badly that if they are not already
out of the race they are teetering
on the verge
In the American League, the
Yankees have come on. but not
rapidly enough to fit in with the
preseason schedule that called for
them to be away out in front by
this time Otherwise, the race in
that league is in accordance with
be dope, with the Red Sox, Indians
and Tigers up ahead.
One of the main surprises has
breh offered by the Giants, who,
after bad start, have moved up
into the running. At the outset,
the Giants didn't look any better
than they did at the finish of the
1889 campaign. But the return Of
Joe Moore, the fine pitching of Carl
Hubbell and the battering of Harry
banning pulled them out of that
early-season slump.

Walters, Werber Key Men
Of Loop Pacing Reds.

The Reds naturally are favored
They moved back briskly from their
collapse against the Yankees last
fall, lost little time taking over the
lead and have played at steady
Gait most of the way.
Again this year two of the most
important factors in their play have
been the pitching of Bucky Walters
and the all-around work of Bill
Werber. Walters seems headed for
a season as brilliant as that which
he had in 1899. Take Werber out
of the Red infield and it would sag
so badly the weight of 1t would
drag the team down.
The Dodgers have exceeded the
expecta tons of Larry MacPhall
and almost met those of the
Brooklyn fans. Larry said in the
early spring he didn't think the
Dodgers would be AS good AS they
were last year, while the fans
claimed the pennant. And, OF
course. they remain the most eXclt-
ing team in baseball.

{. {. {. Regulations
Modified 10 Admit
College Youths
Students From FumiIies
Of Moderate Income
Group Made Eligible

College youths from families of
the moderate income group are now
eligible for the Civilian Conserva-
tion Corps, Federal Security Admin
istrator McNutt said today In a
letter to Dean James M. Lands of
Harvard University law school.
The modification In corps regu-
lations was decided on as means
of providing useful employment and
vocational training for young men
whose parents, while not on relief,
are unable to give their sons the
training needed to provide them 4
start in life" Mr.. McNutt said.
Dean Lands previously had urged
that "by bringing into the corps
others than persons from relief FAM
lilies, the corps can be transformed
from relief agency into a true
service organization, capable of sup
plying the needs of this country in
matters of national defense and in
dustrial rehabilitation"
Priority will still be given to
youths in order of need, however,
Mr.. McNutt emphasized, while sug-
gesting that further modification of
relief restrictions may be made in
the future.

Shortage Of Trucks
Delays Guardsmen
For -Four Hours
10 Autos Communicated
For Members of 26Oth
Coast Artillery

Farewells from families and
friends of the nearly 900 members
of the 26oth Coast Artillery, District
National Guard, who left for ma
neuvers in Northern New York were
protracted for four hours yester-
day as truck shortage became ap-
parent at the last moment.
After being scheduled to get un-
der way at 8:35 am, the unit did
not start rolling from Constitu-
tlon avenue until 1890 pm. At that
time the 88 trucks assigned to the
anti-aircraft unit were augmented
by 10 private automobiles which
had been Communicated to accom-
modate the men who could find no
place in the trucks.
Other units, except the 104th
Quartermaster's Regiment, left al
most on time for the first nights
stop, Northumberland, Pa. This
regiment also had some truck diff
Guilty. but was able to leave only
half an hour late.
A total of nearly 1000 men from
the Guard left for the maneuvers.
Col. Walter w. Burns. in command
of the 260th Coast Artillery, obtained
eight extra trucks from Guard
headquarters after the deficiency
became apparent. However, these
did not prove sufficient and the 10
automobiles were volunteered to
care for about 30 men. In the mean
while Col. Burns had studied the
possibility of sending these men by
train, but decided against it.
At the War Department it was
explained today that there is seri-
GUS truck shortage throughout the
country, both in Guard and Regular
Army units. Until the $4,000 trucks
which have been provided for in
recent defense appropriations start
coming off the assembly lines, it
was added, the various officers in
charge will have to pack existing
trucks "skillfully and tightly"

HILCHER OPPOSING CHANGE IN CONTROL IF LIQUOR TRAFFIC

A askans are not in favor of making any change in the meth cd of liquor control in the Terri tory, in the opinion of Herbert H. Hilcher, nationally known magazine writer, who recently completed an extended trip thru the Territory. He believes Alaska voters are overwhelmingly oppos ed to any change that will result in building up a political ma chine and taking away from in corporated towns the revenues they now receive in the form of liquor license moneys.
 Merchants and business men of Alaska are taking a renewed interest in politics and govern ment and are vitally concerned with the growing trend of gov ernmental competition in private business" Hilcher is quoted as stating in a press interview in present trend is stopped soon by the concerted action of all busi- ness men and all citizens, there will be little left to stimulate private initiative or to encourage Americans to try to make a liv- ing for themselves.
 Alaska is one of the few plac es where personal effort is still appreciated and encouraged. And unless the citizens of the Terri tory protect their business from governmental encroachment and competition, we will see an end less progression of Federal and Territorial agencies encroaching on every branch of private busi- ness.
 Business men throughout the Territory are now actively fos- tering the formation of an Alaska Retail Merchants Association that will include in its member bership commercial representativ es all the way from Point Bar row to Ketchikan and that is set ting up a program for the sane and logical development of the Territory"

The truth is, Old Man Coyote was
so cunning that he stole those ducks
right in broad daylight, in the very
middle Of the day. He knew that no
one would expect anything to hap
pen to them then, and so no one
would be on the watch. And no one
was. And as he always took the
greatest care that the other ducks
should not be frightened and that
the one caught should not have a
chance to quack or make sound,
no one suspected him. Oh, he was
very sly and cunning, was Old Man
Coyote, and, as Farmer Browns boy
said, it seemed as if those ducks just
melted away. Finally he tried shut
ting the ducks up all day as well as
all night, and then it was the chick
ems that began to disappear. Farm
err Browns boy was in despair. He
couldn't watch them all day be-
cause there was too much work to
be done.
''It's that fox! 1t must be that
fox!" said he. IT guess I've got
to 60 hunting after all. I had about
made up my mind that would put
my gun away and never get it out
again, but I can't afford to lose all
my ducks and chickens.
