6ANTY CHILDREN
 ON RADIO; RETURN
 TO SCHOOL SUNDAY

Future radio performers Wally and Mary Jean Ganty, of Hoonah, werei Pan American passengers southbound Sunday to enter school in Seattle.
 The Ganty family had just ar rived in Juneau Saturday night, fa- ther Prosper was registering at the desk of the Baranof when KINY's reporter caught Wally and Mary Jean for an interview in the Baranof lobby It was over before MT. or Mrs. Ganty knew what their chil- dren were up to, but Mary Jean as smed her alarmed parents that she thought she would like to be radio actress, that she was not a bit afraid and that she had remembered to put in a plug for her fathers store in Hoonah.
 Wally attends Lakeside boys school in Seattle and Mary Jean is stu dent at Helen Bush.
 Pessimistic over winters business | in his area, Ganty, who operates P s. Ganty Company in Hoonah, said that repercussions of the poor fish i ing season would be felt in his area "Fisling in the western and north ern districts was about 30 per cent
 off. Some boats actually went if the hole. Good boats only made 8 few hundred dollars. It was haro on the operators, too"

BUGS COME
 UP IN RACE IN
 NATL. LEAGUE
By JOE RE1CHLER

The odds are against them, but II Billy Meyer and his Pittsburgh Pi- rates win the National League pen nant, he'll be the first manager in major league history to reach the top with a club that finished last or tied for 1.-the preceding year.
 The second place BUGS today were three games behind the front running Boston Braves.
 Pittsburgh picked up half game on the Braves yesterday, de- feating the Chicago Cubs, 7-3 while the Philadelphia Phils held Boston to split in their doubleheader The Phils won the opener, GA, but the Braves came back to win the 13-inning nightcap, 2-1.
 The American League leading Red Sox saw their first place margin shrink a full game.
 Staging a six-run ninth inning rally, the Athletics whipped the Red Sox, l0-4, to cut their lead to two games over the Yankees.
 The Yankees trounced the Sena- tors in Washington, 10-5.
 The Indians defeated the St. Louis Browns, GA, in the first game of a double header in Cleveland. The second game was 3-3 tie after l2 innings.
 Home runs by Tony Lupien, Don Holloway and Aaron Robinson help ed the Chicago White Sox defeat the Detroit Tigers, 5-2.
 Old Rip 1Sewell, 40-year-old right handler, pitched the Pirates seventh straight victory yesterday, limiting the Cues to five hits.
 Al Dark's daring base-running gave the Braves standoff in their twin bill. The rookie Boston short stop singled off Walter Dubiel in the top half of the 18th, raced all the way to third on Earl Torgeson's sacrifice, and scored the winning run when Bill Salkeld followed with a long fly.
 The St. Louis Cardinals nosed out the Cincinnati Reds, 7-6.
 The Giants threw another wrench into Brooklyn's pennant plans, de- feating the Dodgers, 5-3
 A crowd of 29,lOO which boosted Roston's home attendance to a re- cord 1,438,4 8,426, saw the As over come a 3-1 deficit to gain their seventh win in Il games at F'enway Park. The six-run explosion featur- ed seven singles against Boo Fer riss, left Earl Johnson and Tex HughsOn.
 Charlie Keller's pinch-hit home run with two on and Tommy Byrne's fine relief pitching featured the Yankees win over Washington.

 Oakland won the series. 6-1.
 San Francisco combed Guy Fletcher and Steve Peek for F hits to give Jack Brewer the ln- itial win, although rescue from Dewey Soriano was needed. Ken Gables twirled a five-hitter TOT the final verdict, besting Herm Besse, to give the Seals 4-3 ser ies adge.
 Portland lopped back into fourth place by a half-game over Seattle by slapping down third-place Los Angeles twice, 80 and S-2.

Irrigation Department
Pump System Makes
New Land Productive

PUMPING IRRIGATION brought
an additional 108 acres of grain last
year to Norman Nelson, Beaverhead
county. These virgin acres were part
of the original farm but had never
been cultivated because they were
above the ditch. Nelson estimates
the value of this land has gone from
So an acre dryland to SIS al acre
now under irrigation.
The pumping installation was
planned last winter but a delay in
finding a pump kept water from the
field of oats until July 10. When
water was finally available, the oats
were badly burned, but the crop
salvaged still paid for the installa-
ton. A 40 hip. electric motor on the

Montana Historical Sketches
The Murder of Clarke
By ANNA NICKOL

THERE ARE FEW incidents m
Montana history more controversial
than the Baker massacre. 1t is I'M
derstandable since opinions of the
man on whose account so many
wholly innocent people were muir
dered varied from Ernest Thompson
Seton's designation of him as a
border ruffian to his sister, Char
lotte O~uisconsin Van Cleve's eulogy
of him as her beautiful, bright
eyed brother, of whom (she) was
very proud" and who was, to her,
"the embodiment of everything
brave and manly and true"
Malcolm Clarke, son of an army
officer, who, for a period of NAL
colm's boyhood was stationed at
Fort Smelling in Minnesota, was in
tended for the army, and was sent
to West Point. There his scholastic
record was good, but his hasty tenn
per got him into trouble; he chal-
lenged a fellow cadet to a duel. The
challenge was not accepted, but au-
thorities learning of it reprimanded
the young man, which tended only
to %aggravate his anger. Caught fight
ing with his enemy, Clarke was dis
missed from West Point.
Questionable Record
His later adventures as r%ecounted
by his sister are grounds for a good
deal of speculation on the character
of the man. He fomented mutiny
aboard a vessel in the Gulf of Mex
leo; he joined the uprising of Texans
against the Mexican government, he
met again, and inundated his old
West Point antagonist. And Failing
to find in Cincinnati (his mothers
home, to which he returned after the
Mexican war; business congenial to
his tastes" he obtained employment
with the American Fur Co. and was
sent to Fort Benton. There he served
as a clerk until the decline of the
fur trade compelled its employees to

lifted 27 feet from the irrigation
ditch to the fields.
The cost of irrigation with this
unit is estimated at about $3.50 an
acre but a quick job was done on
this field for $73, using contour
bitches. A new 10-inch propeller
type pump with a 16-inch discharge
and capable of lifting $50 inches of
water is being ordered for this year.
A dragline was used to dig out a
ditch up to the pump intake at a
cost of $500. The discharge of the
pump goes into 10-inch galvanized
pipe and empties into half gas bar
rels welded together.
The other $40 acres of cropland
on the farm are in hay and grain
used only for producing beef in his
feeder program. The herd usually
numbers about $50 head of white
faced cattle. Nelson's next big prof.
ect is to cut out permanent stock

IS Of 21Virginia Votes
Forecast for Dewey
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, June 21-Vir-
einia's unpledged delegates to the
Republican convention met yester-
day to organize.
They steered clear of discussing
how they will cast their 81 votes
when balloting starts for a presi-
dental nominee.
Several told reporters later that
the count on the first roll call prob
ably will be about IS or Is votes for
Gov. Dewey and the remainder for
Senator Taft.
Business transacted yesterday was
limited largely to passing out Gre
dentials and to the adoption of a
resolution recommending reelection
of the present national committee
man and committeeWoman from
Virginia-Curtis M. Dozier, sr., OF
Richmond. and Mrs. William H.
Logan of Woodstock.

Taft Optimism Grows,
Dewey Camp Sure Of
Ear|y-Ba||ot Victory
BY J. A. O'LeoY
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-The
Taft and Dewey camps both talked
hopefully at their daily press con-
ferences today but the managers for
the New York Governor appeared
to be the more confident.
Senator Taft told reporters he
is "a little more optimistic" than
yesterday. but added he has very
little additional information.
He drew laugh when he said
he would know more if he had not
slept eight hours last night, trying to
recover from the long closing ses-
sion of the Senate.
Herbert Brownell, Gov. DeWey's
spokesman, said his candidate is
continuing "a march toward early
ballot victory"
He said he finds the New York
Governor has more friends than
we realized at the convention.
Senator Taft told neWSmen it
would be "a great mistake for the
convention to begin balloting late
wednesday, IlBilI dllu 81 I'LL OuSll
the night Indefinitely. If there is
to be any balloting that night i'm
following the nominating
speeches, the Senator said there
should be an understanding as to
how many ballots would be taken
at that time.
The Ohio Senator, with his usual
boundless energy, was out at $50
o'clock this morning addressing
breakfast meetings of the Montana
and Massachusetts delegations.
He told the Montana group that
like to refer to dead
locks and smoke filled rooms but
he does not believe there will be
either.
At the Massachusetts, breakfast
Senator Taft got a quick fill-in
from Senator Lodge on the tenta-
tive draft of the platform. From
what he heard the Senator said it
sounded like "a proper declaration
of DrinciDleS"
Evening star., 1948-06-21

Maybe this means the smoke filled
room will be right here.
For all the whoop-la of the last
few days, the crowd was serious
looking. Before the starting gun
they stood in groups, talking quietly,
or sat in their seats studying the
morning papers.
Women Just as Serious.
One thing that impresses is the
number of women among the dele
gates. They look prettier than the
men, but just as serious.
The flag motif has been used
sparingly. About the only places
which have been heavily draped are
the television and camera galleries,
and the bandstand at the back OF
the top halcony-about 100 yards
from the press seats-Where a brass
band took over from Mr.. MacMil-
lanS organ with crashing rendition
of The Stars and Stripes Forever"
Despite the Kleg lighting and COM
motion, this year they somehow
have managed to give the hall a
cool. surprisingly soothing look.
