Navy Retrenthing; Bases in
 Alaska Are Hit But Army Is
 Maintaining Strong Defenses

PEARL HARBOR, July 3-tR- The Navy is carrying out a drastic retrenchment program to keep fleets in the Atlantic and Pacific operating efficiently, Adm. Louis E. Denfeld says.
 We've gone all out to keep the fleets active" said the Commander in-Chief of the Pacific, who re- gently returned from conferences in Washington. We know that if we keep the fleets at any real ef- ficiency level, we have to cut down on shore operations"
 As a result of this new economy policy, the Navy is closing out it's wartime base on the Aleutian Is- land of Attu and is reducing to caretaker status it's base at Kodiak, Alaska that leaves Adak in the Aleutians as the major base in Northern waters.
 While the Navy is reducing its operating centers in Alaskan wa ters. the Admiral continued, the Aleutians and Alaska still will have strong defenses in the Army's air fields and installations.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
 TEAMS WILL MEET
 IN BASEBALL GAME

On the afternoon of July at 3 o'clock the flashy Juneau Fire De- partment baseball team will trek to Douglas to meet the Douglas Fire men. The resumption of the long standing feuG between the Gastin- eau Channel smokeaters promises to be one of the most bloodthirsty battles in fire department annals.
 Not since the days of Dolly Gray, former baseball loving Chief of the Juneau Fire Department, has so much been promised for so little. Fire Chief Mill of the Juneau squad states that he is sending a very strong aggregation to the sister city of Douglas, which in addition to being able to play ball has many and varied accomplishments. Mill says that his squad will take on the Douglas Bremen in anything from croquet to marbles.
 The Douglas team has been scout ed during the season by scouts Earl Hunter, Spike MacLean and James Orme, who have ventured the op- inion that the Douglas firemen have repeatedly broken training rules during the season, and will be unable to give good account of themselves. Umpire baiters Joe Johnston and George Shaw feel that unless something unusual hap pens the fire companies of Juneau will come through with smashing victory.
 Chief Mill announces at the last minute that he dropped IA members from the team for failure to train These included Wallis George, Roy Nolan and other minor lights. The squad which will go to Douglas will include Dilg. McKinnon Sadlier Orme. Sturrock,, Berthol, Hunter, MacLean, Morrison, Red Shaw Dewey Baker, Carrigan Hermann and Holmqulst.
