IN HARD FOUGHT
 GAME, JUNEAU RI
 DEFEATS DOUGLAS

There was plenty of excitement in the game between Douglas and Juneau High School Saturday night at Douglas. with JHS leading by only one field goal at the half.
 The Crimson Bears won by a score of Il to 33, largely on the strength of their sharp shooting in the third quarter which netted them 12 points In the fourth quarter they took a back seat to the Douglas quintet when McCor- mick dropped four field goals and three charity losses for II of the 16 points picked up by his team in that period JHS rang up only 13 points
 Mccormick was decidedly the hero of the evening with high mark of Is points. Juneau Highs top man was Graves with 10, fol- lowed by Sperling with g. Logan, who went cut on fouls in the last quarter, and Schmitz, were close behind with ' apiece.
 Saturdays victory gives the Crimson Bears two,game lead over Douglas in the series being played to determine the Channel victor who will compete with Sitka and Skagway for the Northern Di- vision Championship. The winner of three out of five games between the two schools will be elected.

BREAK THE GAME

If a baseball, a runner, and tielder all reach first base at the same time in a ball game, anything that happens to anyone is the guys own fault That, roughly, is what was decided on in Powhatan Circuit Court in Virginia the other day when one ball player sued another for Sl5000 for a broken leg receiv- ,ed in game between the Dorset and Church Road teams of Rich mona last summer The first base man who had covered the bag sued the base runner, who had tried to teat cut an infield hit, contending the runner had spitefully collided with him. The runner claimed the fislder had blocked the base and
 the jury agreed with him and re- fused to award damages.
