Idea Exploded Frequently

Alex Carrasquel scattered II hits
against the Red Sox, too, but 10 of
them were delivered by right-hand-
ed hitters against right-handed
pitching. Tex Hughson of the Red
SoX, a right-hander, gave the Mats
nine hits in another game and eight
safeties were socked by right
handlers.

Eddie Lake and Jim Tabor, both
right-handed hitters, despite Trout's
right-handed pitching. Heber New
some, a right-hander, worked for
Boston in the same game but Jim
my Bloodworth, right-handed hit
ter, wasn't sorry. He got three hits
and batted in all of the Tigers four
runs.
Washington was restricted to three
hits on Friday night by Jimmy
Humphries, White Sox right
handler. Know who made the hits?
Clary, Case and Gerald Priddy-all
right-handers.
Against Detroit Wynn pitched
four-hit game and the fellows who
had the most success against him
were right-handed hitters. Joe
Hoover slammed home run and
single and Rudy York contributed
a double. In the same series Trout
pitched a flve-hit game and Case
and Clary accounted for three of
those hits.

ard also we're thumped by right
handlers. In another game at Cleve-
land Joe Dobson, a right-handed
pitcher, gave the Mats six hits, yield
ing five of them to right-handed
batters. In the same game Jim
Mertz and Rae Scarborough, both
right-handers, permitted five hits
all by right-handed hitters.
Leonard, incidentally, says the fel-
low who has given him the most
trouble in the major leagues is Don
Hefner of the Browns, who swings
right-handed. Joe Di Maggie, an
other right-handed hitter. had little
trouble hitting Leonard's right
handed pitching-or anybody else's
right-handed pitching.
The theory first was emphasized
by Manager George Stallings, who
had considerable success with it in
handling his 1914 Boston Braves.
He started something, but there's no
proof of anybody making that sys-
tenn work successfully since. Now
it's reaching the ridiculous stage.

less Early has suffered a sudden

FIREMEN'5
SATURDAY WAS
GREAT SUCCESS

Hundreds of dancers of Juneau
and the vicinity thronged the large
ballroom of the Elks on Saturday
night when the 37th Annual Fire
mems Ball was given by members
of the Juneau Volunteer Fire De-
partment. Enthusiasm ran high
from the beginning of the dancing
until 2 o'clock in the morning, with
the hall packed the entire evening
Members of the department were
elated with the success of the oc-
casion and it is said that returns
from the dance were at least triple
the amount made on previous &C.
casions.
The hall was deliberately decorat-
ed with red, white and blue ban
ners with a large electric w as
the central motif and music was
furnished by Bob Tews orchestra.
Men of the department, headed
by Chief v. w Mulvihill and Ken
Won MacLean, chairman OF the
dance committee, were on hand
and as always, proved to be excel
lent hosts.
Juneauites will long remember
the 9th Annual Firemen's Ball and
look forward to the next to be
held year from now.

new 0pAPRICE5
ON LUMBER ARE
effective NOW

SEATTLE, Feb. is = Specific
prices approximately sl4 per thou
sand feet higher than on the Pac-
lific Northwest ceiling prices will go
into effect today under new orders
of the Office of Price Administra-
ton for all Douglas fir and West
Coast lumber produced and sold
in Alaska.
Until now Alaskan mills have
been subject to the general maxi
mum price regulation which froze
their highest prices at March levels,
But todays action transferred the
items they produce to the maxi
mum price regulation, No. 26, which
establishes dollars and cents cell
ings for Douglas fir and other West
Coast lumber.
Amendment No. II to the regula-
ton, effective today, allows Alask-
an mills to add to these ceiling
prices an amount equal to the Mar
thine Commissions publis HI d
freight rate from Seattle to the
shipping point of the mill. Sur
charges for war risk insurance
wharfage and handling charges fol
comparable lumber will be included
Small Output
The difficulty of obtaining mach
inery and food, the short cutting
season, the rough topography and
labor costs which are approximate
ly 20 percent higher than in the
United States are the principal
factors in the present low rate OF
Alaskan lumber production - not
sufficient to meet the amount re-
CURED in 1943 by the War Depart
ment for military purposes in AL
aSka.
+ The OPA said current prices in
Alaska under the general maxi
mum price regulation are some
what above the ceiling prices fol
lumber in the States but are not
sufficiently high to cover the in
creased costs and the low ceiling
prices do not justify cutting, al
/ though some items such as hem
I lock in Southeast Alaska are abund-
ant.
/ Consequently, said the OPA, most
of the lumber used in Alaska is
produced in the United States.
Relieve Shipping
i BY increasing Alaskan lumber
production to meet the military
needs, the OPA action also serves
TO relieve the pressure on coast
wise shipping facilities and lumber
supplies in the United States.
The increase in price, the OPA
says, does not actually increase the
amount of money the government
has been paying for lumber, since
the freight and other charges from
Seattle to Alaska are added on all
lumber shipments from the United
States.

The part of Russia known az
Siberia has been divided into re-
publics, but people still think of
Northern Asia as Siberia" In the
minds of most persons, Siberia Is
cold, frozen part OF the world, not
fit for human beings to live in.
A good deal of Northern Asia really
is frozen waste, but not all of it,
In the past Is years, the Russians
have done much to make better use
of the land.
Tens of thousands of new settlers
have crossed the Ural Mountains.
They have started farms and have
cared for herds of livestock.
In times gone by, very few natives
OF Siberia could read or write. To-
day the story is somewhat different,
Many of the children, and some of
the adults, have gone to schools
which have been started. If older
persons cannot read or write, it Is
likely that their children or grand
children will explain the meaning OF
the printed page.
The Arctic Ocean borders thou
sands OF miles in Northern Russia,
both in Europe and Asia. Efforts
have been made to use that ocean
to transport goods from one part Of
Northern Russia to another.
