Skating Vanities. a musical
comedy on roller skates featuring
blond Gloria Nord in the leading
role, moves into Uline Arena May
for a six-night stand. Advance
reports aver it ranks with the better
ice-skating shows.
The Vanities are produced by
Harold Steinman, who may be re-
membered as the long suffering
manager of Heavyweight Kingflsh
Levinsky, clown and fighter who
was prominent decade ago. Stein
man also handled Johnny Paychek

seeing both fighters kayoed by Joe

Eight More Games;
.Stickmen Toi|inq

Maryland's baseball team. which
opened its schedule against Johns
Hopkins at College Park yesterday
is planning to play nine more games
eight of which already have beer
booked.
A return engagement will be
played with Hopkins next Friday
Virginia, the only other team to be
met twice, has been listed in a home
and-home arrangement.
With June 2 still open, probably
for home game, the list now calls
for three more tilts at College Park
and five away.
Nearly 40 on Diamond List.
H. Burton Shipley, veteran coach,
is being aided by Hermie Ball in
grooming a squad of about 40 as
pirants. In developing the players
on what amounts II an intramural
basis, intraSquad games are being
staged the first four days of each
week, with only those who will figure
in the contests reporting Fridays
and Saturdays. This throws every
position open to competition, and the
game squad doubtless will vary
greatly each week end.
Future games, all home contests
at 2:30, are:
April ~, at Johns Hopkins; %,
Martin Bombers at Baltimore; May
S, United States Marine Corp Insti-
tute of Washington; II, at Fort
Meade; 10, Virginia; 26, United
States Merchant Marine Academy at
Kings Point, N. Y.
June 9, at Virginia; Is, Quantico
Marines
Greg Rice, former Notre Dame
ace and world 2-mile record holder,

Sweeney-Manfredo
Rematch Promises
Ring Excitement

Matchmaker Gabe Menendez has
put together another of his popu-
lar club fight cards, topped off by
three eight-rounders, for the Tuesday
night beak-busting in Turner's
Arena. Action in the three fea-
tured matches is spread over three
divisions, with Frank Sweeney and
Nick Manfredo going to the post in
a middleweight number that shapes
up as the most interesting of the
evening.
Other Fights will find Frankie
Wills attempting comeback
against Al Johnson of Philadelphia
In a welterweight affair, while Billy
Banks goes in with Billy Morris in a
lightweight event.
The -Manfredo match, a
rerun of one of the seasons best
hrawls, will give Manfredo a chance
to prove he can take young Frank
when he's in shape. Nick contends
that an attack of the flu two weeks
prior to their recent meeting, when
Sweeney took an eight-round duke,
had left him too weak to polish off
the Southeast swatter after getting
Sweeney in deep water in the early
part of the fight.
Wills, an in-and-outer, may run
into difficulty with Johnson. who
took decision from Eddie Finazzo
recently, but the local weller can
establish himself little more SOL
idly here with convincing win.
Banks, who lost a tough one to
Joe Gambaro here last week, also
needs solid win over Morris to
climb into bigger money. Referee
Charley Reynolds, third man in the
ring for the Banks -Gambaro jam,
still contends that Billy won it, but
the other officials gave the nod to
Joe.

top Cummins faces Ernie Butler and

ONCE of Defense Transportation
finally has sent out specific regula-
tons governing the holding of dog
shows. 1t has ruled that for the
present dog shows are in exactly the
same category as livestock, poultry,
horse and bird shows. All entries,
spectators. exhibitors and judges,
with one exception, must reside or
be domiciled in the area of normal
transportation and trade in which
the show is given. This ruling ap-
plies to sanctioned as we'll as
licensed shows. The exception ap-
plies to judges. In the event that
the local trading area of the show
giving club does not possess suf-
ficiently well qualified judges to
offlciate, one judge from an outside
area may be obtained.
These rules will be modified or
discarded as soon as war conditions
permit.
Some organizations have folded
up for the duration, but others, real
izing that dog shows do not need
the fanfare of widely ballyhooed
fixtures in order to be true sport
ing events, are going ahead on a
local scale. What's more, such
shows are proving surprisingly sue
cessful. Oakland, Calf, and Min
neapolis recently staged unusually
large affairs.
National Capital Kennel Club is
undertaking an obedience trial on
May 20. Jack Baird, president of
the Dog Writer'S Association, has
been invited to judge.
Old Dominion Kennel Club has

have turned to them quite often in
these past few weeks. One morn

about is Mike Hunnicutt of WWDC.
Perhaps the reason is that to do
proper Job it takes too many words.
Mike Is glib, a character, an ex-
treme extrovert, most entertaining
individual, an able Snowman. Let
us hasten to say that Hunnicutt,
Horace to his close friends, is an
affable person.
On the fact side, Mike was born
in Spartanburg, s. c.; educated at
Southern College, Lakeland, Fla.
and Georgia Tech. Radio for Hun
nicutt began at WBT in Charlotte,
N. c., in 1927. He moved to Knox

The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1945-11-02

Wcman's Club became member OF
the General Federation Of Women's
Clubs, and a unit of the Alaska
Federation as Well
THE greatest blow the organiza-
ton suffered came with the cave
in of the famous Treadwell Gold
Mines, when levels were flooded
by the caving of the superstruc-
ture. Many men were thrown out
of work and, consequently, many
families left for the States and
elsewhere. This greatly reduced
the membership OF the d. l. w.
Club but, hard-pressed though it
was at that time and at various
times since, it has continued its
fine work and enthusiastic interest
in Douglas these many years"
Much interest is being shown in
the Silver Tea which is being
given tomorrow afternoon in the
Eagles Hall by the club members,
concentrating the Thirtieth An
niversary of the club.
