A challenge was issued last night
by an embryo softball team to mem
beers of the Douglas hard-ball squad
for a preseason game of soft ball,
any way, any place and any time
convenient to both teams.
The challenge is the first shot OF a
barrage destined to organize soft
ball league in Juneau and the Or
ganizers are eagerly awaiting the
names of the players who have an
interest in baseball but for some
reason or other cannot be included
as hard-ball players.
Girls Team in Shorts
But the second shot of the bar
rage was shock and a pleasant
surprise. A girls league was sug
gested and promised if enough young
women will sign the lists now await
ing names in the Empire office
Ernest Stewart, who works in the
Office of Indian Affairs and in
whose mind the plans for the league
formulated, believes that at least
two teams can be found, and that
sponsorship would be easily secured
because Of the Inexpensive attire OF
the girl Gehrigs. If the evenings were
not too chilly, he indicated, the play
ers could play in shorts.
Stewart, who is recently from Bill
ings. Montana, said that interest in
soft-ball and in women's soft-ball
was high in the States and he sees
no reason why it should not be in
Juneau.
Speaking of soft-ball, both mems
and womens Stewart said. This
sort of a game, although faster than
hardball, gives the older players
women and those who have not YET
reached the hard-ball class, chance

old Norwalk resident, was
shot and killed by his wife,
Anna Marie, Saturday morn
ing while they were duck

sponded to her screams for help

They were watching for ducks
about $40 a. m. Saturday. she said,
and were about 20 feet apart. Sud
denly the gun went off in her hands
and her husband fell.
"He had been urging me to leave
the safety catch off, she said, "but
didn't want to- He kept urging
me to leave it off and I kept refus-
ing. I just don't know how it hap
pened."
Sobbing and almost PROSTATE from
horror and grief, Mrs. Smith wait
ed in Westmorland with friends
summoned by Chief of Police Ed
Dickerson, to whom she appealed
for help. Deputy Coroner Robert
Parrish and w l. Hopes, Brawley
mortician, made the journey to the
