of Kodiak that sometimes it IS actually they who disturb the peace, in order to create job for themselves, by ordering someone home, or taking them of to jail, when thsy are really causing no one any harm or ere
 atiDg any disturbance. During the bloom of Kodiak" our police force was about half the present size. Why do we need So much policing now? If the City Trea sury IS so financially low, would 1t not be better to cut down the police force and have one or two trained competent patrolmen rather than fine everyone to try and raise money? Is our town any better because of our excess sive policing? Perhaps it has and is doing more harm than good. We must realize that if we are to keep our City thriving, we must create harmony and good will between our business men and the Naval base personnel
 We should also endeavor to improve our other source of in- come, the fishing industry, which is one of the largest in the world.
 We have two wonderful sour ees of income for our City which could make Kodiak thriving little City. It is up to us, the people of this Community, to see that we are not deprived of the privilege of making our City grow. Bill Kreiner

TEAM TO VARSITY

RIA Sept. S. APP
AS a result of Saturdays scrim-
mage when the second team
turned in a five touchdown to
one triumph over the first
team, Coach Wallace Wade
changed the names of the two
outfits as Duke started the sec
ond week of fall drills and prep
arations for their Sept. q, sea-
sen opener with N. c. State here

now the no. 2 outfit, the first
club is composed of Fred Hard
son, a tackle last season, and
Bill Duncan 1916 reserve, at
ends; Louis Allen, 1916 starter,
and Lloyd Isenberg, who played
here in 1914 and returned from
the service this spring at tack
les; Bill Davis, a sub last year,
and Ted Marshall, Jayvee in
1916, at guards; and Carl Perk-
inson, 1916 sub, at center.
In the backfield are Red Fol
ger, Jr., who has been one of
the outstanding backs in fall
drills and who was a letterman
last year, at wingback; Ben
Williams, reserve last season,
at fullback; Rollo H o d 6 S ,
another 1916 letterman, a tail
back; and Jack Eslick, sub
blocking back last season, at
that post.
The Blue Devils put in two

was not much contact work.
There were no injuries reported
from the skirmish of Saturday
and John Montgomery, regular
blocking back last season, who
was out all last week due to an
infected throat returned to &C
ton in full uniform.
While the varsity men
worked, the Jayvees put in a
heavy day of separation under
Coaches Carmen Falcone and
Bob Cox in preparation for
their opener on Saturday
against High Point at High
Point.
Although they have had little
time to get ready for the con-
test, the Junior varsity outfit
is expected to make a good
showing Saturday against the
Partners.

|Stranahan Wins First Round
Amateur Golf TOURNEY

do, Fla. Goodman's golf was not
comparable to that he flashed
here 10 years ago when he
sidelined the great Bobby Jones
in the first round, but he held
Smith even on the outgoing nine
with a 80 and putted himself
into the lead coming home.
The first big upset of the open
ing round saw Bob Cochran oil
Overland, Mo-, outlast Arthur
Armstrong of Honolulu to wiz
l up on the Goth hole. The lac
from Hawaii, several times
amateur and open territorial
champion, led more than 1900
players in the national qualifying
for the 1947 championship, shoot
ing a 36-hole 1856.
He ran into a sleeper, how
ever, in Cochran, one of the top
amateurs of Missouri. Cochran
posted a par SO to grab a one
nu lead at the ninth, Armstrong
carding 81. The Honolulu entry
evened it on the tenth, lost the
18th and 18th and squared the
match with wins on the 18th
and 10Th. They had scores of

Crochran, former ST.. Louis

GONZALES STANDS
GUT All new YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. g. R -
Richard (Pancho) Gonzales, a
19-year-old stick of tennis dyna-
mite from Los Angeles. came
near throwing the National
championships completely out Of
kilter today when he. carried
Davis Cup star Gardnar Mulloy
of Miami to five screaching sets
before bowling out in a SECOND
round match at Forest Hills.
The hot tomato from the coast,
owner of a soaring service and a
deadly stop-volley that baffled
Nrulloy, once stood at AZ in
games in the deciding set and
again was within one point of
making it So, on his own service.
Only Mulloy's cool head and vast
experience finally pulled him out
of a nasty situation. The scores
were 6-3, SO, 2-6, Gil, Ga.
And then Gonzales began to
play a brand Of slashing, net
rushing, tennis that no one knew
he possessed. By the time he had
reeled off the third set and then
squared the match by winning
the long-drawn fourth, practi-
cally all the several thousand
spectators on the premises hao
jammed themselves into the sec
ondary grandstands where the
match was being played TO watch
Pancho make his bid.

WALKER HAS EDGE
ON BATTING TITLE

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 -P-
Harry Walker of the Philade!-
phia Pills virtually removed all
doubt during the past seven days
as to the identity of the National
Leagues 1947 batting champion
by adding two points to his total
for a 36-point lead over his near
est rival. .
Walker, younger brother OF
Brooklyn's more widely known
Dixie, belted out nine hits IN
the % times at bat in the week
that ended Sunday and moved
his seasons average from 354
to 1856. Meanwhile, Phil CAVIAR
retta of the Chicago Cubs re
manned at 1920 to permit Walker
to increase his advantage.
The National League schedule
has only three more weeks TO
90, virtually assuring Walker OF
the title Stan Musial of the st.
Louis Cardinals took last year
with 1865. Dixie Walker won the
crown in 1914 with 1857 and
should Harry remain on top the
Walkers become the first brother
team to win the honor.
Galan Third
Augie Galan of Cincinnati, IS
third with a .319 aggregate and
is followed by Pete Reiser OF
Brooklyn, with .316; Walker
Cooper of New York, .3l4; Boo
Elliott of Boston, $40; Tommy
Holmes Of Boston Ralph Kiner OF
Pittsburgh and Dixie Walker,
all at 1903; and frankie Cuisine
of Pittsburgh, .307.
The Philadelphia Walker leads
the league in hits with 172 and
in triples with Is. The Brooklyn
half of the family tops the cir
cult in doubles with sc.
Johnny Mics 46 home runs
gives him a bulge of, five over
Kiner. The New York first base
man also heads the circuit III
runs with 119 and ruua batted IN
with 1913. Jackie Robinson OF
Brooklyn, has an almost two-to-
one ration in stolen bases over
his closest rival. The Dodger
first baseman has pilfered "a,
compared with 10 for Johnny
Hopp of Boston.
Jansen Leads Pitcher
Larry Jansen, rookie right
handed pitcher with the New
York Giants, continues to top
the pitchers On a won and lost
basis with a .773 average, built
up on II victories and five de-
feats. Ewell Blackwell OF Gin

but commands the strike out

with Ralph Branca's 1913 IN
