Home Run Ball
Lands in Local
Legal Laps

Juneau baseball has evidently hit
the big time, with announcement
made today that local legal talent
is being called tomorrow night to
review the protest of the Douglas
baseball club in the matter of wheth-
er or not ice Snow hit home run
the other day when he knocked a
ball out of the park.
It's like this. The score is Moth
ing to nothing and the stakes are
the championship of the first half
Of the local ball season. Snow, bat
ting for the Moose. pastes one on
the nose. The ball hits the two
by-four Con which point most agree
forming the top of the fence and
bounds naturally into the creek.
Snow prances happily around the
four sacks with the only run of the
game. Big Andy Andrews of Doug
las lodges protest.
That much we'll call round one
but there have been several cantos
since
Andrews was really serious about
the protest. Douglas wouldn't with
draw, and to make matters worse,
nobody in the official roster of the
league seems to want to rule on the
matter.
The upshot of it is, the Pacific
/ Coast League. (our sister-loop to the
South has been asked for opinion,
and now, tomorrow night, league
officials will get together with prom
inent attorneys H. L. Faulkner and
Grover Winn. They will sit on the
question of whether or not Joe Snow
hit a home run.
Douglas won't play any more ball
until decision is made.
Umpire Everett NOVEL; ruled 1t a
home run at the time the fiasco got
under way. He may quit umpiring
if his decision is reversed
Douglas is hot under the collar
and SO is Juneau Bad names are
being passed back and forth and
the already namby- PANTY local loop
bids fair to break up.
Nobody else seems to have SIM
pie honest ruling to offer on this
ball in question.
We offer this: That ball in ques-
ton was slapped from home plate
far beyond most home run ranges
struck the top of the fence and kept
on going. 1t was knocked out OF
the park and it touched no part OF
the playing field enroute. 1t was
a home run, pure and simple ano
a doggone good swat at that-anc
we'll further add that if this little
battle doesn't break up the Gastin-
: eau Channel Baseball League, wei
be disappointed. A year of resi-
would bury a lot of differences anc
revive another year some of the
craftsmanship and fun that baseball
used to mean to our Channel COM
munities.

Department has lot of money tiec
up in the local park.

He studied in India variations of

1t is now known. DR.. Millikan said
that it takes 7,O0O,OOO,OOO electron
volts to pierce the magnetic field
surrounding the earth at San An

hur India. Computation showed, he
said, that cosmic rays have varying
voltage at various .latitudeS and
hence could not have single source.
India was most suitable, Dr. Milli-

IFS He'll of Note
Says Senator Of
British Censors

WASHINGTON, Feb. % CUPD-
Sen. Harry s. Truman, D., Mo
today said British removal of U. S
mails from clipper planes at rifle
point was "a hell of a note" and
called for drastic action to make
the British behave themselves.
Truman's position was echoed by
Sen. Bennett Champ Clark, D., Mo.
sponsor of bill to prevent U. S
clipper planes from landing at Ber-
muda. Clark said disclosure of the
manner if which the British first
seized mails in Bermuda strength
ems my view that U. S. planes
should not be forced to submit to
British mail censorship.
Truman demanded steps to pre-
vent clippers from landing at Brit
lsh ports and barring British ships
from using U. S. harbors until the
British have learned to behave
themselves"
The removal of u. S. mails at
the rifle point occurred at Bermuda
Jan. 18 when censorship of U. S.
transatlantic airmail was inSti-
tuted by authorities at that point
The action of the British has al
ready been subject of comment by
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
who also has suggested it might be
necessary for the clippers to elm
mate calls at Bermuda.
1t was learned at the state depart
ment today, however, that in re-
ports which it had received of the
Bermuda incident there had been
no mention of the use of force such
as was revealed today
The Bermuda matter and other
points of friction between the
United States and Great Britain
over contraband control and en-
barge measures are now under dis
cusSion between the two countries.

New Deal Theories

PHOENIX. Feb % CUP)-The
New Deal is based on the unac-

ministered by the government. Sen.
Styles Bridges of New Hampshire,

here last night.
Such philosophy means the
ultimate abandonment of the Amer
lean way of life" Bridges declared.
1T means the eventual reputation
of all those human qualities which

and self reliance. 1t means the
adoption of the philosophy that

was learned, and therefore was not

Pan American officials refused to
confirm or deny the seizure.
Capt. Charles A. Lorber, in charge
of the clipper invaded by the Brit
lsh marines, protested at the time
TO British authorities at Bermuda, it
was exclaimed, and then the COM
pany turned the matter over to the
department OF state. 1t has been
complying with British censorship

The incident marked the inaug-

Jan 18 en- route to Lisbon. British
cenSors boarded the craft and an
nounced they were going to remove
its cargo of mail
Captain Lorber, the United Press
was told, informed the British
party that the clipper was an Amer
ican ship and that he would not
permit examination of its mail.
After heated argument, Lorber
ordered the British off the clipper.
The censors stepped out and their
leader signalled to a party of ma
rines in nearby launch. The ma
rines, with bayonets fixed to their
rifles, boarded the clipper and
Captain Lorber submitted to the
seizure, demanding a receipt when
the British had removed half of the

Historians Wrong! Feb. 1is Not
washington's Birthday, Children

historians tell us he was born in
1882, but he wasn't"
George washington was born
Feb. II, 1871. Not many people
know that, but it is a fact.
when Washington was born the
old English calendar had gotten
SO far behind that Jan. l arrived
on the day that now is March 25.
Then in ISL, when Washing
ton was 20 years old the new cal
endar was adopted, starting the
year off on Jan. l. To get the cal
endars Strengthened out they drop
ped II days from September that
year and skipped January, Febru-
ary and the first 25 days of March.
well, the upshot of 1t was that
Washington didn't have any birth
day in 1852. The year had only 288
days and one of those left out was
his birthday. That made him near
ly year older than the history
books say"
Funny thing did you know that
Washington never delivered his
most famous speech, his farewell
address? Well, he didn't. 1t was
published in a Philadelphia paper,
but he never made it and no one
read it for him."
But, as has been the custom for
more than 100 years, the house
and senate each took time off to-
day to hear the address read. In
the house Rep. Frank Crowther, R..
N. Y, was the reader and in the
senate, Sen, Edward r. Burke, D.,
Neb.
