Fund Drive To Start For Recreation Center

Advices from General Head quarters of Alaska Defense Com mand, regarding the conversion of the Legion Hall into a recrea- tjonal center for service men, re- quire that the premises be turn ed over to the Red Cross free and clear of encumb. ances.
 The reason is that the Red Cross plans on expending about $15, ,000 on additions and install lations. After the war the build ing, with all installations and im- provements, will be turned back to the Legion to be used as a community center and meeting place for veteran organizations.
 The officials feel that as the community will be the ultimate beneficiary of all the funds ex- pended upon the project, it should be interested in Surning the same over to the Red Cross clear of liabilities as its contribu- tion to this cause.
 The present indebtedness is ap- ploximately $36O0, represented by a mortgage of about $2200 and accounts incurred in the construction of the partially completed wing to the main building amounting to about $l4OO.
 The staff of the Red Cross is now in Anchorage awai ing the result of what Kodiak will do in the matter. The soldiers, sailors, and marines need such a recrea- tional spot, and it is up to each and every person to contribute as literally as his circumstances permit

NEW YORK, Aug. "a = CUP) -
Babe Ruth swung with all his
power. his bat met the ball, and
it sailed toward the distant right
field stands.
The 47-year-old Bambino never
looked to see where the ball went.
As soon as he felt the decisive thud
of ash against horse hide, he start

around the bases there in the same
Yankee Stadium that his booming
bat helped to build back in 1923.
AS Ruth ran the bases, the ball

side the white pole and landed in
foul territory. 1t fell in the upper
rightfield stands.-a foul-by the
margin of six scant feet But Ruth
kept running the bases for a hom-
er and when he wound up at the
dugout, perspiring like a human
shower. everyone congratulated

two singles and a walk but Sacra-
mento knOtted the count in the
sixth on Eddie Lakes roundtrip

of the opener and gave the tail

In the nightcap. the Beavers re-
peated their triumphant perform

Sickle grounded out to end the
game.

Majors Suffering
From Lack of Hits
As Pitchers Hot

NEW YORK, Aug. "a - CUP) -
Manufacturers of major league
baseballs have sought to prove with
facts and figures that the balls
in use today have not lost their
'zing" and are just as lively as
ever. What they cannot refute
however, is the general potency
of pitchers in both leagues and the
correspondingly poor batting marks
of several sluggerS.
The 16 games played yesterday in
the majors provide an almost per-
feet illustration. Seven were shot
outs and six were siX-hit jobs.
There was one two-hitter, three
hitter, four four-hitters and five
hitter. The others were seven
hit job, a nine-hit performance
and an 11-hit affair.
Only II homers were hit, four in
the American League, the sluggers
circuit.
