Revise Sked
Because of
Wacky Weather

Softball in September
something rare in the city Major
League annals, is in prospect for
those who follow the sport in
this community, all because Old
Man Weather can't behave him
self.
For the 18th time in the final
playoff series rain caused a
postponement of the scheduled
game last night and forced re-
vision of the weeks time table.
Although the rainfall occurred
early Monday morning, the dia-
mond at st. Mary's Stadium was
in no condition to play on.
The washed-out contest, Cow
cred Wagon VS.. Denmarsh Ho-
tel, has now been set back to
Wednesday evening, with to-
nights tilt between Hubarth &
Schott and Super Cleaners be-
ing played as per schedule. That
means the game between the
loser of tonight's fray and the
winner of Wednesdays encount-
er will take place Friday instead
of Thursday as originally
planned. All contests will be
played at st. Mary's Stadium.
Should tonight's game be post
poned for any reason, the two
teams would meet Thursday
night and the winner VS.. loser
battle set for Friday would be
moved back until the following
week.
AS the evenings are getting
shorter with the approach of
Autumn, playing time for the
playoffs is more limited each
night. Therefore it is imperative
that managers have their play
ers ready to 60 at the 645 start
ing time.

For the first time in several
years of competition, Cooley

throes of losing streak. AL
though the victim Of only three
successive setbacks, the local
girls have been in the habit of
winning practically all their
contests and can't understand
why the fortunes Of softball
should change all of sudden.
The Morticians have played
IA games so far this season and
have lost four, but all their
losses have been handed them
by one team, Sheriff Lucas Girls
of Port Huron. 1t was this Tun-
nelite aggregation which slapped
a double loss on the Cooley
girls over the weekend.
The first clash took place Sat
urday afternoon at the Armada
Fair and the Huronites slipped
over a marker in the eighth in

where the two teams met for the

FieIder-Monoser Discovers
Himself Leading HurIer
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sports Editor

NEW YORK - William Ben
Chapman's Richmond Colts were
beaten, 10 to /, in the third in
ming on a July night in 1912. A
Class B league club carries only
six pitchers. Ben Chapman saw
no sense in wasting another, de-
cided to pitch himself.
Mana ger Chapman hadn't
pitched since 1927, when as an
49, year old semi-professionaI
the first eight men who faced
him hit safely. The game in
Richmond had to be finished,
however, and Piedmont League
managers quickly get used to
doing anything - driving the
athletes from town to town, COL
lecting the receipts, carrying
bats, etc.
To Chapman's utter amaze
ment the other side made just
one more hit - home run -
and the Colts rallied to tie the
score at I'LL, which is the way
things were when the curfew
halted the contest at the COM
pletion of the 10th inning.
BRINGS $4,000
A week later the Richmond
club faced five double headers
on the road in six days, so Chap
man, for IL years an American
League outfielder and one-time
hailed as another Ty Cobb, con-
tinued on a second career that
at 35 eliminated in his being
sold to the Dodgers for $4,000
and recruit hurler.
Chapman won seven and lost
three and had an earned run
average of 1.72 between the
time he broke in by accident
and Sept. II, when he was ban
ished for a year for taking a
poke at an umpire named Case.
Chapman returned last spring
to win ID and lose 6 up to the
time of his sale to the Brook
lyns. He turned in one shutout,
one one-hitter and a four-hit-
ter. He gave the Roanoke club
one hit in six innings one night
and the Washington Senators
four in seven in an exhibition
game the following evening. Six
runs are the most that have
been made in a game off the
veteran who served with the
Yankees, Senators, Red Sox and
Indians.

Returning to the majors as a

Go Soaring

NEW YORK The brave new
postwar world-in which automo-
biles, vacuum cleaners and refrig-
orators once more will pour from
the factories-is going to cost more
than in ante-belium l941.
Sixty-nine per cent of the ex-
ecutives interviewed by Modern In
dustry, a magazine for industrial
managers, figured prices would in
crease an average of IS per cent,
due mainly to higher labor and
material costs
This may be disconcerting to the
householder impatient for the day
when he can replace wheeling
vacuum cleaner or an asthmatic
radio, but don't give up hope.
Seventeen per cent of those in
terviewed predicted price reductions
because of new methods, new de-
signs, and the well known economic
pressure of competition, and the
rest said there would be no change.
And II per cent opined that once
the early reconversion period end
ed, prices would fall until they
leveled off at Is per cent above
prewar periods
Compared with 194l levels, here
are some Modern Industry long
and ,short-range forecasts:
Automobiles-20 per cent higher.
Cigarettes = S to 10 per cent
higher.
Farm implements-5 to 10 per
cent higher
Household hardware-10 to 20
per cent higher.
Heating equipments to 20 per
cent higher, dropping to 10 per
cent higher.
Radios - somewhat higher; no
agreement as. to how much.
Ranges, electric-20 to 80 per
cent higher, dropping to Is per
cent higher.
Reffigerators, electric--l8 to rs

Sporting goods golf, fishing, etc.

Vacuum cleaners-10 to Is per

HOFFMAN Tells
WHAT CAN HELP
CAPITAL CITY

paign sponsored by the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce as to what
can be done for the betterment Of
Juneau, the following letter, writ
ten by David A. Hoffman, received
honorable mention:
The answer to What Can Be
Done to Improve Juneau?" lies in
the fact that to all of us Juneau is
home. In building home, mans
first requirement is to make 1t live
able. To be liveable it must be
comfortable To be comfortable it
has to be attractive to himself, his
family and to his friends and ac-
quaintances.
A Chamber of Commerce must
first build liveable city. 1t should
back every movement to provide and
improve city streets, water systems,
lights, means of transportation and
other public utilities. Schools must
be modern and sufficient. They must
be we'll planned, far in advance of
expected growth Recreational facil-
tiles for the young, also for adults,
are needed and must be provided to
the fullest of our ability.
Our Chamber of Commerce should
be ever active; assume it is their
duty to take not only an interest
but action in everything and move
ment that in any way tends to i'm
prove the community. This must
be an active, not passive, group.
All such projects should be placed
before the Chamber to determine
whether such be desirable, then get
behind every constructive PROPOSE
ton that can be carried out within
our means. Do not be ultra con-
sentative in judging those means.
Do not be provincial in our con-
structive efforts. Everything for the
good of Southeastern or all of AL
aska is beneficial to Juneau. Such
should receive whole hearted sup
port of the Chamber of Commerce
and all residents of Junaeu. A per-
sistent effort should be made to
assure very few residents fail to be-
come members of the Chamber,
Once members, see that all partake
in full responsibility as well as
privilege of belonging to an agrees
sive, prideful group.
Be conscious of our own worth and
ability. Do not depend on Outside"
help until we, ourselves, have given
all we can to better our town. Look
for opportunities to help the entire
Territory. Be ready to participate
in the improved future most of us
feel Is Alaska's due. Provide attrac-
lions for tourists. Build highways
throughout all Alaska. Improve boat
service and hotel accommodations.
Tell the world, through advertising
and letters to friends and acquaint-
ances that we have lovely. liveable
community. Show we take pride in
our town and want them to see it
and learn why we think they, too,
will enjoy becoming Alaskans.
When visitors do come, make it
easy for them to get information.
Be posted SO, when the ever pres
ented question is asked, What Can
One Do and See While In Juneau?"
a satisfying answer may be given.
Properly answered that will do much
to better Juneau's reputation OF a
hospitable city Help those visitors
enjoy themselves. See that they
become acquainted with our people,
our basic industries, our beautiful
country and our homes.
Having made our home city at
tractive to others, comfortable to
them and ourselves, it is certain it
will be more liveable and SO inn
proved for all of us.
