Looking to 1919

We are now looking through win
ter's snowstorms, mists and fogs
into the campaign of 1949 from late
April to October. Who will be the
star rookie of l949 to make good on
his "second trip around?"
You already have the leaders,
Dark, Bearden, Ashburn and Good
man. Dolby can be rated, if you
figure him a 1913 freshman or a
l949 sophomore.
Dolby is as good an all-around
outiielder as I've seen besides
Musial, Williams, and DiMag-
giO. And Bearden is the best
young pitcher I've seen in some
time. He was the pennant and
the worlds series savior of
1913. But there are always pit
falls ahead. Who can tell where
they are?
In 1947, Ewell Blackwell looked
to be one of the star pitchers of
many years. The 6-foot 6-inch star
from California won % games and
lost eight with the dropping Reds.
With other teams he would have
passed the 80 mark. Here was one
Of the great young pitchers from
baseball history to reach the game.
But it was a different story in
1913. The tall and willowy Black
well came along with sore arm.
He was never right through the
1913 season, where the. year before
he had pitched II consecutive no.
hit innings.
You can't pitch with a sore
arm. Blackwell couldn't. You
can't pitch with too much fat.
Shea couldn't. You can only
pitch when you are in shape.
You can only play baseball when
you are in shape, and yet last
spring I'd say that about 10 per
cent of the players who reported
were not in nearly as good condi-
ton as Ducky Medwick was, and
Medwick has been around for
more years than most of us can
remember.
Medwick has always reported in
shape. And then gotten in better
shape. Most ballplayers report in
soggy shape and spend most of
their time trying to work off fat.
At least too many do.
don't believe this will happen to
Dark, Ashburn, Bearden, Dolby,
Goodman, Chesnes and one or two
others who can be vital cogs in
various pennant machines of 1919.

terfield of the Yankees ready to go.

Honest Cal Coolidge
president Calvin Coolidge wa.

president Calvin Coolidge was
scrupulously exact in money
matters. When he returned to pri-
vate life, in 1929, he accepted an
offer to write series of articles
for a national magazine. When he
submitted the last one, he included
an article written by his wife.
The editor paid for Mrs. Cool
idge's article at the usual rate,
but did not print it. A few days
later, Coolidge invited the editor
to breakfast.
II see you didn't print my wife's
article" he said.
I'm sorry" apologized the ed
itor. "We couldn't manage the
space"
"In that case" said Coolidge,
opening his wallet, 1--WE can't keep
this check"
Despite the others protests, he
insisted upon returning it. A mo-
ment later, the waiter handed
Coolidge the breakfast check. He
glanced at it, then showed it to
the editor
"a $780," he said. "You owe me
75c."

Entitled to ReSnect

The industrialist, Charles M
Schwab, decided one day to attend
performance of that perennial
stage farce, "Charley's Aunt" and
accordingly requested his secre-
tary to get two tickets for him.
Handing some money to one OF
the office boys, the secretary said,
go around to the theater and get
two tickets for 'Charley's Aunt,
please"
The boy, quiet and thoughtful
youngster, walked to the door, then
retraced his steps to the secretary's
desk and respectfully suggested,
Don't you think I'd better say
Mr.. Schwab's aunt, sir?"

Dark, the Braves shortstop; Richie
Ashburn, the heet-footed Phillip
outfielder; Billy Goodman, the Red
Sox first baseman; Larry Dolby, the
Indian outfelder, and Hank Sauer,
and Virgil Stallcup of the Reds.
Some of the pitchers under
scrutiny will be: Gene Bearden
of the Cleveland club; Robin
Roberts and Curt Simmons of
the Phillies; Bob Porterfield of
the Yankees; Pittsburgh's Bob
Chesnes; Ralph Hammer of the
Cubs and Erv Palica and a few
other Dodger entries.
The three prize rockies who can
play leading roles next season are
Dark, Ashburn and Beardcn. Ash

might. Both are fine young ball
players on teams that won PEN
nants last fall, largely or partly
because these two rockies were
around. The Braves couldn't have
won without Dark and the Indians
couldn't have won without Bearden.
can almost hear Billy South
worth singing: Honey dear, listen
here-1'm afraid to go home with
out Dark"
Dark, a great football player
almost another Van Buren,, a fine
golfer star all-around athlete,
can be the top entry of 1949.
So can Gene Bearden of the
Indians. If Dark is as good as
he was last year, and Bearden
is just as effective, we might
see replay of 1913 this next
season.
Raschi and Porterfield can mean
lot to the Yankees. You may re-
call the able job Frank Shea did
for the Yankees in 1947. He was
different Shea in 1913, where he had
exchanged his streamlined form
for blimp. If Shea reports at 100
or 1913 pounds. he has a chance. He
has plenty in the way of stuff and
heart.
Dolby, like Raschi, is hardly a
sophomore. He was around in 1947.
But not too much in evidence. His
first big year was 1913 and he has
the equipment rneded to have
bigger year in 1919.

 One of Best Ever

Comments have been heard all over town on the wonderful pie lures of Alaska Wild Life shown by Cecil Rhode at the high school last Friday.
 One man said that these pie lures had Frank Buck backed off the map. MT. Rhode has spent twelve years in the preparation of this picture, which brings the large animals practically into the lap of the audience The adven- lures behind the taking of such pictures can only be imagined by those residents of Alaska who have personally faced moose and brown bear themselves. Very few, however, have the temerity to stalk such animals unarmed ex- cept for camera.
 The Rhodes gave a showing in Moose Pass on Sunday night, and will be in Anchorage Tuesday, March s. From there they are go- ing to the states for tour of at least one year. Seward was fortu- nate to have had the premier showing.

City Refuses Giardino Taxi Cab License

An application by George Giar- dino to operate a taxicab con- pany in the city of Seward was turned down by the City Coun- cil at it's meeting on Monday eve ming.
 The basis for the refusal to ap- prove the application was City Or dinance No. I'll, which states that no additional taxicab companies may operate in the city till the population reaches the 2500 mark
 The ordinance was placed in eff feet by former city council slight ly over two years ago. In order to permit a new cab company to op- crate it would be necessary either to change the ordinance or to show that the population had increased sufficiently.
 Giardino referred to the l947 tu- berculoSiS survey which showed that over 270O x-rays had been made. In opposition to this it was stated that the 2700 figure included many transients who can not be counted
 The 1850 national census will be taken in Alaska some time this year. and the city has sent cor rected copies of the map of the city to the Bureau of Census. The 1940 census gave the population of Sew ard at approximately 1000.
 Giardino stated that he was de- termined to enter the taxi business in Seward, and asked that the council set aside the ordinance To this request, councilmen replied that this would be letting down all bars. and that regulation would be out of the question.
 The city attorney said that the council was obliged to uphold the ordinance unless it were legally changed. He said also that the city had legal right to regulate cabs. since they are common carriers serving the public.

To Attempt Salvage Of Grounded Borqe

MT. and Mrs. Fred Howard and son-in-law, Robert Zentmire. Sew ard residents. who were taken off the power barge North Cloud afte, eight days aground on the Copper River Flats, announced their inten- ton to salvage all the goods aboard the vessel immediately They also feel that there may be some possibility of salvaging the barge in the next high tide.
 The Towards are well known in Seward, Mrs. Howard as a club woman and owner of Cathryn's Dress Shop, which she sold before her departure. The barge was en- route to Seattle to be fitted as cold storage ship. After leaving Cordova they ran into a heavy storm and freezing weather. The waves washing over the barge iiOAC oll cAll PolL Ol lliS VSSScl, icing the windows to such an ex- tent that the crew attempted to thaw them enough to see out by pressing hot water bottles to the glass. This was not successful, how ever, and the winds and heavy seas drove the vessel off its course and aground on Grass Island in the shallow river flats.
 It is thought by some oldtimers that the heavily iced condition of the barge is the reason that efforts to float her off the flats in high tide were unsuccessful, and anoth- CT attempt will be made. Whether the barge can be salvaged or not, the household goods will be re- moved.

Cancel Juneau Trip, Request Of Governor

Ray James and Ross Mann, who were enroute to Juneau to support a memorial to Congress favoring rehabilitation of the SeWard-POrt- age section of the railroad, have been recalled.
 The recall was made at the sug- gestion of Governor Ernest Gruen- ing, who telegraphed Monday that it would be irl "the interest of econ- omy," since the place where the memorial will need support is in Washington, in Congress and in the Department of the Interior.
 The two Seward representatives left Monday morning for Anchor age, and were recalled before they were due to board a plane for Ju- neau.
 Instead of sending the repre- sentatives, all necessary informa- ton for the memorial will be for Warded from Seward. Once the me- morial has passed through the Alaska Legislature, however, it may be necessary to send repre- sentatives from Seward to Wash ington.

New City Fire He'll Nears Completion

All work on the new fire hall next to the Civic Center is expect ed to be finished during the 1949 season.
 Installation of the large doors is expected to take place in the very near future, after which it will be possible to take care of finishing the inside of the building.
 When completed, there will be space for two fire engines and equipment, and in the rear of the building will be an apartment for the man in charge.
 At present the city owns three fire trucks, which is about three times as many as are owned by most cities the size of Seward. Two of the trucks are housed in the old fire hall, and one is at the City Dock.
 The city apparatus at the dock is manned by dock employees. and has been answering all city fire alarms. Practically all the equip ment is furnished by the city, but The Alaska Railroad has furnished some one and one half inch hose lines and a few nozzles. The big gest fire this winter was a house which burned next to the railroad roundhouse.
 In 1947 the Fire Department an- sWered call to save an Alaska Railroad bridge al Mile 14. and the local fire department got there on time to save the bridge so that it required only two days work to replace the bridge into service.
