Lack Of Punch Cosfl]
Again as Double Bill
Goes 10 Chisox
By Burton Hawkins

There has been general expecta-
tion that the Mats batters soon
would explode, spray beautiful hits
to various sectors OF Mr.. Grifnth's
property and emerge from their
protracted slump. That pleasant
thought has been harbored, but now
there is q growing conviction the
Mats batters are soft touches.
When the Mats tangle with Chica-
COS White Sox tonight they'll be
exposing q dubious record. For 10
straight games, the Mats have been
restricted to two runs or lessLit
has happened is times this season
and Washington's pitchers are
threatening to do swan dives of the
| top Of the Washington Monument
unless there is sudden Improvement.
Three times this year the Mats
have been bIanked and Ave times
| they have stirred up only one run
They have been limited to two runs
on seven occasions and their average
run production Is "a q game. As q
natural result Of feebleness in at
tack, the Mats have lost seven OF
their last 10 games and over that
span have accumulated the unim-
pressive total Of IA runs.
Right hand Batters No Help.
There's nothing wrong with the
Mats that hitting won't cure, but
they are displaying no indication of
providing remedy. Manager Ossie
Bluege has taken to juggling his
lineup, inserting seven right-hand
hitters against southpaw pitching,
but with such innovations the Mats
still get nowhere.
Mickey Vernon, American League
batting champion last year, with a
fancy 1853 average and the Mats
cleanup hitter, is struggling along at
a 1854 clip. Buddy Lewis, who was
batting .426 week ago, has hit a
meager .129 In the Mats last 10
games and has tobogga1ed to 1903
flor the season.
The Mats are power-paralyzed.
They have connected for only three
home runs this year. When they
insert a double or triple into the
proceedings it becomes an event.
Their pitchers are operating under
constant pressure, aware that ii they
yield run they're well on the way
to defeat.
Mcbride Does His Share.
Bluege shook up his club in the
opening game of double -header
with the White Sox yesterday, in
which the Mats dropped both games,
AZ and 80, before a crowd Of
2,036. With Southpaw Frank
Papish on the mound for Chicago,
Ossie devised a lineup which left
Vernon and Pitcher Mickey Haefner
| the Mats only left-hand hitters.
To the bench went Cecil Travis,
Joe Grace, Lewis and Stan Spence,
but the Mats could fashion only two
runs. Both came in the third inning
when Tom Mcbride doubled to score
George Case and Felix Mackiewicz,
who had singled and doubled, re-
spectively.
That 20 lead was whitfield when
Murrell Jones parked home run
among the bleacher customers with
none on in the fourth. The White
Sox locked the score off Haefner in
the eighth when Skeeter Dickey
doubled and Papish singled. In the
ninth, singles by Dave Philley and
Joe Stephenson preceded Thurman
Tucker double to left which scored

MARINE WAYS OF NC. COMPANY TO
 BE OPENED, JULY
First and Finest Establish ment of Kind in Juneau
 -PIanf Is Complete

The Northern Commercial Co.,, plans to open Juneau's first marine ways July 12, although it is par tially open now. The site of the ways is directly north of the Small Boat Harbor, tide land that has been filled by 90,00o yards of crush ed rock and gravel from the Alaska Juneau Mine rock dump. All of the construction is of permanent na- ture.
 On the premises is constructed a 50 X 100 foot store building and a 30 X 100 foot machine and repair shop. The marine railway is 450 feet long and is constructed on a six and one half percent grade. The elevation of the lower end of the railway is at foot minus tide level. This will give sufficient wa ter over the cradle to enable haul ing up the average fishing boat un- der almost any tide conditions.
 Dual Type Cradle
 The lower end is constructed on treated piling, cross timbers and rail stringers, while the upper end is supported by a solid concrete foundation. The cradle is the dual type with all steel construction and has two 54 foot by 30 foot cradles, which can be used either separate ly or in tandem. By using the cradle in tandem, the total length of it will be 108 feet and will &C., commodate any boat up to 115 feet. Gross tonnage of the cradle in tan- dem is 300 tons, not 500 as some have stated, said Ernest G. White head, local manager.
 Work Basin
 Adjacent to the machine shop, a work basin has been dredged to a depth of IA feet The size of the basin is 15O feet by 200 feet In the basin are two floats, l2 by 150 feet, for the berthing of vessels. The north float IS equipped With dleSei fuel, gasoline and stove Gil pumps, fresh water and electricity for the convenience of boat owners.
 A complete line of Standard Oil marine products will be handled for the fishermen. The ways have a tank capacity of 30,000 gallons for fuel oil, gas and oil. The company is also equipped to dispense the latest automotive diesel fuel.
 Dock With Stiff-Leg
 Between the work basin and the shop is a 60 by 30 foot dock, which is equipped with a stiff-leg of l5 ton capacity. The stiff-leg will per-
