J-Hi SIdughfers DeMoIdy- Jennings Take EIks in
 Close Contest
SCORES LAST NIGHT High School 62; DeM0lay IS Henning 40; Elks 39
HOW THEY STAND

The lg4l season of City League basketball ended last night as the lowly DeMolays were slaughtered in the first game of the double header by the Juneau High Crim- son Bears in the Juneau gym with the score ending IS to 62 after the J-Hi boys had toyed with the Iodgemen for the four full quar- ters and passed the 60-point goal which they had set for themselves.
 The second game ended with a close score and with the win hing ing on the regulations in the Off, ficial B ske tball Rules, which showed that a last-second basket made by Pete Gilmore while tap ping a jump ball. was good, and the Henning five eked out narrow margin win from the Elks by a score of 40 to 39.
 First Game Walkaway
 Young Murphy lashed one onto the hoop before the sound of the whistle had died away in the first game of the doubleheaGer and the game was on, walkaway for the Crimson Bears and in which the J-Hi squad failed even to get a good workout For the first half the scores mace Dy the DeMolays could be counted on the fingers of one hand and the half time score board showed the markers set at 26 to 5.
 Murphy garnered 16 points for himself to gain high point man hcnors and was closely followed by McDaniel with IA points. Every man of the ten men played by Coach Fred Lindenmeyer marked up a score for himself and none left the floor empty-handed.
 Every Man Used
 Coach Lindenmeyer sent inlevery man he had against the DeMolay
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-03-12

and without fear of losing the large lead that he had built up. The 60-point total sought by the J-Hi squad was reached in the last frame and Murphy's last shot was in the air when the final horn sounded to make the score stand 62 to l8.
 Second Game
 Using a zone defense, the Hen- ming five went out on the floor fighting in the second game of the night, and quickly took lead from the Elks. The second period ended with the Henr1ing team lead ing 6 to 3 in a game that was ra- pidly developing into well played battle.
 But the sedond quarter had hardly started when the Elks stole the lead from the clothing men with barrage of shots that took the Henning men by surprise and set them back for a spell. Leading by only a close margin, and often by only one point, the Elks bat tied it out up to the half when they held lead of 19 to IA.
 Henning Closes Up
 Then Vorhies went to the show CTS with four fouls and. in spite of the loss the clothing men start ed to close up on the lodgemen. Faster and faster the game went, until the scores stood only one point apart with the Elks leading. The lodgemen took time out and went back in to keep up the drive. Minutes flew and with seconds left to play in the ball game the score stood 38 to 39 with the Elks ahead.
 Gilmore of the Henning squsd went into a tip-off and tapped the casaba right through the net with fractions left to spare before the final whistle sounded. Then came the squabble that forced the issue to- be settled by the Official Basketball Rules book and the claims that the. basket was. illegal because it was made from the jump position. But the cries of the Elks that the score should not count, were discounted when the rules book showed otherwise. Hen nings had won by numbered rule and the skin of their teeth.
 Games Tonight
 Tonight the visiting hoop squad from Petersburg, Hacks Hornets, is scheduled to meet the Bremen in battle beginning at 8 o'clock in the Juneau high gym. A pre- game that has not yet been announced will start at 7:15 o'clock.

 Old Boss
Old Workhorse Expects Good Year with Chicago
 Cubs as Pitcher
By MORTIMER KRIEGER
 AP Feature Service

LUCEDALE, Miss, March l2. - When Jimmy Wilson calls his Chi cago Cubs together at Catalina he'll be pleased to find among them Claude Passeau, one of his old workhorses at Philadelphia who has blossomed into one of baseball's most effective pitchers.
 The big Lucedale farmer was one of only five pitchers to win 20 or more games in the majors last season. Three of the others were on pennant winning clubs and the fourth, Bob Teller, was with the Cleveland Indians who finished sec ond by an eyelash.
 Passeau won 20 and lost 13 for the Cubs who came in fifth, drop ping more games than they won. His earned run average was 250 and he famed more than 100 bat terS.
 For several seasons Passeau was just another of the hurlers who paraded to the mound for few innings as the Phillies lost another ball game. His record was better than those of his mates. but well, he was with the Phils.
 To Cubs in '39
 In 1939 he went to the Cubs, after winning two and losing four at Philadelphia. The rest of the season he won l3 and lost g, and his earned run average which had usually been we'll over four per game at Philadelphia-dropped to 3.O5 and was lowest of any Cub boxman.
 Passeau is especially successful in spiking heavy artillery. For the past two years has claimed the smallest home-run-per game av- craze of any major league pitcher. Claude works every day on his 560-acre farm, keeping in good shape and staying near the 202- pound playing weight which ne carries easily on his six-foot- three-inch frame.
 Most of his place is in tung trees. He has a small herd of cat tie which he hopes to build up yearly.
 Passeau, who says he was never much of a newshound," lets his record do the talking for him. He does venture, however, to say he expects another good year and is pleased to work again under Will son, his former manager at Phila- delphia who takes the Cubs over this season.
 As for the Cubs chances, the big Mississippian says the club is good "on paper" but he realizes it must come through on the field.
 Married a little more than two years, Passeau has 10-month- old daughter and isn't worried about conscription.

SEARS FROM TEXAS GO TO
 BIG LEAGUE
By FELIX R. MCKNIGHT AP Feature Service

DALLAS, Tex, March 12.-Pitch- CTS, they say. could transform the St. Louis Brownies into quite a baseball club up in the American League.
 Off their productive farm at San Antonio in the Texas League are coming two of the stoutest twirlers of the pitcher famous league.
 Tall. cool Bob Muncrief, who, despite late season tagging spell, won 9 and lost 9, and his bril- liant mound twin, Maurice New lin, who knocked off 23 victories and had several one-run defeats listed in the eight losses, are cer- tain to be warmly accepted by the Browns. Newlin's TAP was the highest winning average of the league.
 Too, the Brownies will get Charles Stevens, a clever boy who made only IS errors in handling 1927 chances at first base, but who was weak at the plate with .264. Vernon Stephens, fine shortstop who drove in many runs with .266 average, outfielders Jack Bradsher and Pete Kraus and Pitcher Loy Planning go to the Brownies Brad sher. Kraus. Munchief and Han ming by the recall route.
 Cards Get Krist
 Big Howard Krist, ace of Texas league pitchers with III earned run average and 22 won and g lost record. was sold by Houston to the St. Louis Cards. Pitcher Hank Norwak, a 13-7 hurler, out fielder Johnny Wyrostek and pitch CT Sam Nahem, bespectacled Brook lyn lawyer who had 1.65 earned run average for Is games, go to the Cards.
 Detroit gets great crop of rockies from its Beaumont farm the place that gave them School boy Rowe and Hank Greenberg. Outfielder Ned Harris, infielder Boyd Perry; Bud Thomas and Hal Manders, pitchers. and heavy hit ting Dixie Parsons, catcher, have been recalled. Sold outright were Murray Franklin, a stout looking third baseman; Charley Fuchs, Les Mueller and Virgil (Fire) Trucks, pitchers, and Bob Patrick, outfield- CT. Pittsburgh drafted pitcher Dick Conger and Frank Secory. out fielder, was sold to Cincinnati. Waitkus To Cubs
 Paul Erickson, a good pitcher who won 12 ard lost 10 with sec ond division Tulsa, pitcher Ray Campbell. and Eddie Waitkus, brilliant first base prospect who hit 1903, plus Lennie Merullo, shortstop, and Barney Olsen, out fielder, have been recalled by the Chicago Cubs.
 Towering George Dickey, younger brother of the Yankees famed Bill Dickey, goes from his catching job at Oklahoma City to the Chicago White Sox, along with outfielders Dave Short and Thurman Tucker. infielder Dave Holloway and pitch CT Orval Grove Pitcher Dewey Ad- kins, who showed great promise, was sold to Cleveland.
 Two Shreveport pitchers with stuff, Jack Hallett and Walter Navie, were sold to the Chicago White Sox, while Fort Worth, with an aged club, didn't lose man to the majors.
 Two fine hurlers left the Dallas club for the big-time, lefthander Bob Uhle to Detroit by outright sale and Johnny Pintar to St. Louis. Uhle won Is and lost 12 with staggering club while Pin- tar, late in starting, was an 1l-9 performer
