Two ordinary guys - a luggage
salesman and a milkman - heed
the call of the wild today arc kick
over the humdrum traces of civil
cation for Alaska and the last
frontier.
Sam and Martha Browning and
Clarence and Harriet Bell decided
they'd had enough of the "bene-
fits" of the postwar world. So
they're Of for Alaska.
The big sign blazoned on the
side of their transport truck the
jaunty spirit Of the adventures:
From sunny Tennessee to snowy
Alaska"
The Brownings and Bells will
travel in a modern covered wagon
"a four-and-a-half-ton truck with
tarpaulin-covered ribs. En- route,
the women will sleep on mattress
es and springs in the truck. The
men will sleep On mattresses and

Rugged, h?" Browning
grinned.
Their first stop in Alaska is
Anchorage. Later. they'll head for
a place in the Mattanuska valley
near Palmer, a town of 1900. They
hope to make the trip in 80 days.
But if it takes, 40, it's all right
with u.s." Browning said. Were
going to enjoy every minute OF
it."
They'll travel by day and stop
wherever the mood fits them. And
nights we'll have a big fire. and
We'll have some fine quartet sing
ing" Browning added.
The Brownings are a compare
lively young married couple. The
Bells are a little older, with a
grown son in the air force.
Browning started the whole
thing when he placed an adver-
tisement in Memphis newspapers
saying, WANTED man and wife
going to Alaska. Want partner to
homestead, hunt. fish, farm and
trap"
He received 1902 letters-from as

And there were 96 phone calls.
Obviously, the lure of the from
tier still beat hard in American
hearts, The land of Robert W.
Service and the Malamute saloon
still had a pull. There was still
a hope for the heady romance of
a Harold Bell Wright.
Il didn't have any idea there
were so many persons who want
ed to go to Alaska" Browning
said. Il interviewed about As of
them personally.
But when we got to the Bells,
we knew we had the answer to
what we wanted. They've got the
real pioneer spirit"
The Brownings, from Fort
Worth, Tex, added a little note
OF poignancy to the tale.
Ever since We lost our little
girl in 1913, we can't seem to get
settled down." the former luggage
salesman. said. We've been rest
less all the time. We've been
thinking about Alaska for years.
All of a sudden we just made up

I've been wanting to go up

Mickey indicated he was prepared
to snap the shackles which had
fettered him among the hoi polloi
OF the leagues hitters. He collected
seven hits in IA attempts for 500
average and later in another four
game outburst batted .533, but fol-
lowing each rash of hits he promptly
plunged into sustained slumps.
Spence, Lewis Going Good.
Vernon's decline has harmed the
Mats more than any other single
factor. Washington had reason to
suspect 1t would obtain respectable
hitting from Stan Spence, Buddy
Lewis and Vernon. Only Mickey has
failed to deliver, for Spence is belt
ing the ball at $3.50 and Lewis is
hitting highly satisfactory .339.
Spence Is developing to be the
fellow most feared among the Mats
hitters. He has contributed five of
Washington's eight home runs and
over a stretch of the Mats last seven
games has batted at a 450 clip.
Lewis also has been attempting to
hoist the Mats to a more lofty spot
batting .435 in his last II games, but
the lower portion of Washington's
lineup has sagged along with Vernon.
Jerry Priddy, Mark Christman and
AL Evans represent scant threat to
the leagues pitchers, who currently
must be concerned over only Spence
and Lewis,

Interest Rises in Capital Open
After Locke's Winin GoodoV

Bobby Locke, the greatest for
eign golf threat since Ted Ray,
will make his semif1nal Ameri-
can appearance in the National
Capital open starting Thursday
at Prince Georges, and the South
Africans showing here probably
will take the bush league stigma
off Washington in regards to a
pro golf tournament town.
The sensational string of VIC
tories by Locke at Houston, Phil
adelphia and in the Goodall
round robin has made the be-
knickered SHOEMAKER the biggest
name in golf today. Newspapers
were besieged with calls on the
outcome of the Goodall tourna-
ment yesterday, which ordinarily
is just another stop on the pro
tour.
officials of the $4,000 tourna-
ment at Prince Georges have
upped the crowd estimates by
several thousand following
Locke's victory in the. Goodall.

The parade of hometown talent

fractions. Their hereunder shares

heater between Joe SANDY Saddlel
and Jimmy Carter.
Saddler, one Of the top men In the
| tfeatherweight division, rates as a
better fighter than either Hanbury
or Jones, but the latter two are big
ger attractions here. Tonigtt's card
probably won't gross the $34 900 and
$4,000 drawn by other all-local
shows so far this season-the price
scale is lower, for one thing, but the
Jones-Hanbury get-together figures
as q Scrappy, speedy bout.
Both are fast, as these small boys
must be. if they hope to win any
thing at all. and both are punchers
which isn't too common among
welterweights. Jones edge lies In
his southpaw style, which for con-
fusion alone is worth a couple OF
points against right-handers. Han
bury is heavier and experienced
against classy opposition. He has
fought up among the welters, not
too successfully, however, and was
a headlner here while Herbie still
was trying to make an impression
among the amateurs.
Lew faded after a number of
fights against better boys and early
last winter was chilled twice out on
the West Coast. He later staged a
comeback in the East and after a
pair of good wins in Madison Square
Garden Is ready to show OF before
the home folk.
Saddler figures to beat Carter.
Jimmy is rated as a strong con-
tender for Willie Pep's feather
weight crown and displays one of
the fanciest records In the business

Jones is in the making If Jones also
