SAN FRANCISCO. May 28.-
Pepper" Martin, the old handy man
and ball of fire of the st. Louis
Cardinals. likes his new job as man
ager of the Sacramento Senators.
From his results in two months he
appears cut out for the work.
The Senators are leading the
Coast League by 10 games, haven't
lost a series yet, and unless half the
squad pulls up with broken legs,
seem destined to breeze in for Sac
ramentO's first pennant.
Martin, besides master minding
the Cardinal-owned outfit, is doing
a journeyman's stint in the outfield.
1t is on the offensive side that Pep

most applause.

Six times this season-the Sena-
tor pulled bunts with two men out.
Five of the six times they got away
with it and four game victories are
partly attributed to what some call
unorthodox baseball

long as it makes runs" Martin said.

possibilities with Vice President

He had an equal opportunity to

Griffith complaints. Earlier this year
Griffith gave him going over for

Radbourne, former pitching great,
Griffith criticized the teams tepid

turn to the coaching line.

fielder Buddy Lewis. only to return
to the plate and swat a single to
center. Moses claimed he had re-
quested time be called before he
swung at the pitch he lined to Lewis
and Umpire Summers upheld him.
Why Moses swung after calling for
time is something Griffith feels
should have been explained
1t may be significant that Harris
protested a somewhat similar sit

his protest today to William Har-
ridge. president of the American
League.

Harris claimed third base Umpire
Eddie Rommel had called time out

was thrown on the field from the

The Yankees already had collected
nine runs, enough to win, but Grif-

chance of succeeding.

The Alaska Road

For more than year it has been clear that the Alaska road should be built. Had it been started promptly, it might almost have been completed by now. But iS $ still in the talk stage. Russia and Japan, both of the near neighbors of Alaska on the west, are now at war. Within a matter of weeks, developments may come in northeastern Asia that will Make Alaskan defense even more import ant than it is now.
 Suppose Japan seizes the opportunity, n the true Axis tradition, to stab in the hack a Russia being beaten to its knees bF the German onslaught. Then the Russian aviation and naval bases which lle almost within sight of American ter xik0ry in Alaska would be in Japanese hands. Suppose Germany completely hests Russia, and moves eastward to 2ne Pacific; then we would have the Nazis 4skectly across the narrow channel where Asia and North America say ''Hellol" at

Credit Where Due

Just how well are the banks of the na- ton meeting defense needs? You don't have to turn to a banker for an answer to that question. The other day Jesse Jones, Secretary of Commerce, and Chair man of the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration, said this: II think the banks are doing a very good job on defense loans. This is as it should be. T don't know just what rates they are charging, but these rates must be satisfactory, oth- erwise the borrowers would be coming to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. We have always wanted the banks to make the loans. No manufacturer or contractor with defense orders should want for proper credit or be delayed in filling his contract for lack of proper credit"
 That should thoroughly stifle the un- justified argument that it is necessary for govern:nent to go still farther into the financing business, at the expense of the grooming taxpayers and free enter prise. As soon as the defense drive start ed, the banks, big and little, began mak- ing plans for meeting credit requests. They pledged their full and unqualified cooperation. And they are fulfilling that pledge to the letter.
 Banking has always served this 1la- ton adequately in times of war and in times of peace alike Banking has the resources-and what is equally import ant, it's personnel has the experience and the knowledge which is necessary to fi- nancing any such extraordinary under taking as the defense program, in an or derly manner Jesse Jones simply gave credit where credit is due.

safer. Our new Alaskan bases are being rushed, and splendid progress is being made in equipping them. But the whole vast territory is almost entirely depend ent on ships for support, both in a mili- tary and in civil sense. Ships are get ting scarce; they may be scarcer before this war is over. The Alaska road is being urgently advocated by Chairman Mag nuson. of the International Highway Commission, by Delegate Diamond of the Territory of Alaska, by Brigadier General s. B. Buckner, in charge of military af- fairs of the territory, and by eminent Canadian authorities.
 It might we'll make the difference be- tween holding this vital outpost of North America and losing it. It would be an expenditure, unlike most military ex- penditures, of infinite value in opening up the territory in time of peace. It is the kind of job, like building the Panama Canal, that is right down the American alley. Well, what are we waiting for?

Project Moves Ahead

Although no contracts have been let vet for the construction of new reser- VOir. dam, and chlorination plant above the city's existing water supplies in the Morris Hills, various governmental agen- cies of Waterbury are removing all obSta- cles and handling details linked to this big project. The city will have the services of experienced and expert help when the work is actually started some time this summer. Retention of Malcolm Piernie, the New York engineer, to handle various details of the reservoir work was sanctioned this week.
 As yet no contracts have been awarded for this work nor for the second pipe line, a job on which the professional advice ot MT. Piernie was also sought Presumably the contract for this work will be awarded this month and it can be expected that the reservoir job will be apportioned out after that. As Is necessary the city Will sell the necessary amounts of bonds with which to finance the work. City officials have declared on several occasions that they will sell bonds only in the amount needed to cover the phases of the water expansion project. That's the economl- cal way of doing it.
 The Legislature some months back granted Waterbury permission to float bonds to the amount of S2,000,O0O, the bulk of which is to finance the water expansion jobs. However, since then the city has decided to secure, if possible, fed- eral funds being granted for public facl- ities. It may not be necessary to use the entire bond issue and again the final cost of the project may run more than expectations. At all events it is to our best interests that the job be done well and the finished product made available as soon as possible.
