NEW YORK, June 18-Its funny sometimes, how baseball trades work out.
 Let's look over some deals of re- cent years. First, consider that maneuver of three years ago in volving the great Dizzy Dean.
 The Chicago Cubs chunked $l85,- GOO, a pair of pitchers. Curt Davis and Clyde Shoun, and an outfield- CT, Tuck Stainback, to the St. Louis Cardinals for Old Dig.
 Deans arm apparently wasn't
 as good as it had been, he had
 won II fewer games flor the
 Cards in 1937 than he had the
 previous year but the Cubs
 still were willing to take the
 gamble.
 Dig hardly was a success with the Cubs, although he had some good cannes. In his three seasons with Chicago he won Is and lost 8. He went back to the minors for spell last year and short while ago quit as an active player. Hes still on the Cubs payroll as q coach.
 But about the others? Well, Curt Davis won l2 for the Cards his first year and in 1889 won 22. Then he was sold to Brooklyn, along with Joe Medwick, or a

bundle of dough and four players Shoun has aided the Cards and last year, chiefly as a reliefer, ap- peared in 54 games, more than any other pitcher in the league Staipback has made several shirts and now is with Detroit.

 Bell was sent to Cleveland and
 Kennedy to Washington. The
 Browns still have Lawson.
 After the 1939 season Washing ton traded Taft Wright and pitch CT Pete Appleton to Chicago fol Gee Walker. Wright was heavy hitter, .337, with the White So' and Appleton was of some aid as a relief hurler. Walker had a fan year but the Senators let him gf A few months ago in a swap tha' brought Roger Cramer to Wash ington and Walker to Clevelane via the Red Sox.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-06-18

The Cincinnati Reds outfoxed the Yankees last year when they swapped Lee Grissom for Joe Beggs. As a relief pitcher who won 12 games Beggs was big aid to the Reds. Grissom was cut adrift.
 And then there was the swap
 Bill Terry made a few years
 ago when he sent Fred Fitz-
 simmons to Brooklyn for Tom
 Baker. Baker couldn't win for
 the Giants but last year Fitz-
 simmons, with 16 and 2, led
 National League pitchers in
 percentage.
 The Cubs sent Lon Warneke to the Cards for Jim Collins and Leroy Parmelee. Warneke still is winning pitcher-l6 and 10 last year-while Parmelee is out of the majors and Collins. after two years on the coast, is back as utility player with Pittsburgh.
 One of the crack shortstops in the National League is Boston's Eddie Miller. Yet Cincinnati - which could use great short fielder - had him and let him loose The Reds, after using Miller in 36 games in 1887, traded him to Newark with Les Scarcella and cash for the late Willard Hersh- berger, who served as substi- ute catcher.
 However. it's easy to second- guess and maybe the owners were right when they made, those deals.

BEHREND5 BANK HAS
 BIRTHDAY
Financial Institution Fifty Years Old Today
 HighIights

With business being conducted as usual there was little to indicate today that the B. M. Behrends Bank was observing the fiftieth anniver- sary of it's founding, that behind the quiet dignity of it's functions and locked in it's ledgers is written the history and growth of a mighty ter ritory.
 The simple facts of business as recorded in the early years of it's operation reveal the romance of the gold rush days, the stories of the gamblers, the dance hall girls and the early miners who took their savings to deposit with B. M Behr- ends. Traces of builders once famous but now almost forgotten can be recalled in the record of their in- vestments and promotions.
 The bank, possibly the first in the Territory, was established in 1881. At that time B. Nj. Behrends, who had been manager of the Sitka Trading Company, opened his mer- cantile business on the present site of the band at Seward and Third. The banking business was carried along with the mercantile business as was usual at that time.
 Miners from Cassiar brought in their gold dust for deposit with B. M. Behrends in whom they had the greatest of confidence. The banking separated from the store and at the separated fro mthe store and at the end Of the first year the resources were 30000 MT Behrends brought to Juneau the first safe with a com bination. Because of numerous fires people took not only their money but their valuables and personal papers for safe keeping.
 In 1892, MT. Behrends built the new store on the site of the pres ent B. M. Behrends Co., store. There the banking department had a sep arate department The present site was repurchased in 1913.
 For many years it was the only bank in the Territory and did al the business for the Territory through it's correspondents Outside
