LESLIE O'C0NN0R
 ES SUSPENDED
 FROM BASEBALL

CINCINNATI, Oct 30-R-Wal- ter Mulbry, Secretary of Baseball said today that Leslie M. O'Connor, general manager of the Chicago White SoX, has been suspended from baseball for failure to pay a fine for violating the rules in con- nection with the signing of high school player.
 "O'Connor has been denied the privileges of the rules" Mulbry said in a telephone conversation
 The White Sox general manager was fined $500 recently for sign ing George Zoetteman, high school player in Chicago, Mulbry added.
 OConnor, in declining to pay the fine, maintained that he did not violate the rule, which pro- hibits the signing of boys to pro- fessional contracts as long as they are in high school, Mulcry said

 DEFENSE IS HELD
 BY WEST VIRGINIA

NEW YORK, Oct 30.-R Penn States granite-liobed rushing de- fense was cracked wide open as West Virginia gained almost three times as much ground as it's prede- cessCrs last Saturday, but it's still tighter than a New Look corset and just about as hard to see.
 Last weeks National Collegiate Athletic Bureau figures showed the Nittany Lion line yielding but an average of five inches psr try on the ground.
 This week, as a result of the West Virginia game which Penn State won, 21-l4. it's locsened up 8 bit Now, it's IA inches per crack
 For the second straight week the Penn Staters lead the nation in both total defense against rush. ing and passing.
 The enemy has averaged only 69 yards per game in combined rush ing and passing, and has dented the line for only 108 yards per game in five games.
 North Carolina State and Geor- gia Tech rank second and third, and Texas Christian advanced from seventh to fourth at Okla homas expense in total defense
 Notre Dame dropped from first to third in forward pass defense when Iowa completed nine out of 22 for 84 yards, or more than the Irish had yielded to enemy passes in their three previous games-75
 Colorado leads this division with a yield of 29 yards a game.
 North Carolina again led the nations bunting teams with an av- craze of 44.5 per punt in 36 efforts

SIX BUSINESSMEN FROM JUNEAU HUNT MOOSE IN ATLIN, B.C.

The men who s.1'- i2ehlnd the bars night after night attending to the entertainment of others, like to have little fun themselves once in a while.
 Naturally enough the great out doors offers certain contrasts to their wcrka day world. and when they get the chance they go hunting for amusement
 A party of six, including four hartenders, a Yellow Cab driver, and Les Fragner of the California Grocery, went out for some fresh air and some moose and caribou on October II. and some of them didn't get back until last night Joe Thomas. of the Triangle Bar, Joe NcNallen, Arctic Bar, Ross Mill and Earl Forsythe of Baileys Bar, Red Holloway of Yellow Cab and Fragnerg all chartered an Alaska Coastal plane for Atlin nearly three weeks ago
 In Atm they hired three guides, Henry Taku Jack, Leo Taku Jack and Steven Williams Henry and Leo are brothers and their father was Chief of the Thlingets in Ju- neau.
 Henry is now the chief of his people in the Atlin area, and ac- cordlng to Ross Mil is an excep- tionally able guide
 After reaching Atlin the party went 28 miles by road to Don land, site of a deserted mining town They made their headquart- CTS in the old bunkhousss which are still maintained by MT. and Mrs Nate Murphy, who live alone there on their ranch. Murphy is widely known as a great hunter. , After two days of scouting around the district the first herd of moose was sighted by Forsythe and Hol- loway, but a snow storm prevented their going sfter them.
 On the third day the party spied another herd about five and a half miles from the camp on the edge of the timber line. They separated into three groups of two, one group heading straight up the mountain and the ether two branching out to the right and left.
 The first moose, a beat-up old buck with 57 inch spread, was plugged by everyone in the party and was finally brought down by Fragner and Thomas about two miles from the scene of the first shot. Thomas wen the toss for the 1 trophy.
 A smaller buck was taken by Joe
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-10-30

McNallen. He and Thomas and Forsythe returned with the meat and trophies on october 13 Mill Holloway, and Fragner remained for three day caribou hunt around Ruby Creek.
 The caribou were high on the mountainside. and severe weather prevented the hunters from ranging farther than 10 or l2 miles from their camp, so the caribou were safe.
 Bad weather delayed the arrival of a plane from Juneau, so after waiting three days, the party con tacted a plane from Whitehorse and planned to return to Juneau by Pan American. As PAA schedules were upset by the search for the missing Clipper they took a train to Skagway, and returned last night by Alaska Coastal.
 The entire party stopped at Taku Lodge on their way up to Canada as Atlin was closed in by weather They hunted with Eleanor anC Royal O'Reilly, former entertainer. at the Bubble Room, who left fol the States recently.
 Another hunting party, consisting of Forsythe, John Sullivan. Bii l Eddy, and Ole Grenell. are nov out on the Monterey, prospectus around Peril Straits and Rocky Pass.
