CEREMONY HERE
 SHARES CRUSADE
 THROUGHOUT NO,

Simultaneously with ceremonies
 being conducted at the foot of the
 Statue of Liberty in New York and j announcements from the 48 state
 capitols, Gov. Ernest Gruening to- 1 day launched Alaskas participa- tion in the nationwide 40th Anni- versary Crusade which will occupy
 good deal of the attention of AL
 aska council packs and troops fol 1 the coming two years.
 The Crusade has been planned
 'To Strengthen the Arm of Liber- ty,' according to Council President
 Charles G. Burdick, who has been
 notified of the plans by National
 Council President Amory Hough-
 ton. Its purpose is to have the near | ly 100000 members of the Boy Scouts of America re-affirm the
 basic principles of democracy ano patriotism on which the scout or ganization was founded, and it in- wolves the setting of unit, district, and council goals in program and membership. The Crusade will cul- minate in the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding ot the Boy Scouts of America, and is designed to extend over 1949 ana 1850, according to Burdick.
 In brief ceremonies at the Gov ernor's office this morning, Gov Gruening sent messages to mayors of the principal communities ol AL aska, urging their cooperation and support for the Boy Scout organi- zation as the program of the Cru sade unfolds during the next two years. In his capacity as Governor of Alaska, Governor Gruening IS an honorary member of the Nation al Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
 T am convinced that the Alaska Council with it's membership of nearly 1900, is making a splendid contribution lo the happiness ana well-being ot boys all over Alaska, and I heartily commend it's pro- gram of Americanism and charac- ter education" the Governor said today.

More On Gun Safety

l. Keep the safety on at all
times! There's plenty of time to
release it when the game flushes.
2. Be extra cautious in the
brush.
3. No amount of game is
worth injuring someone else. Be
sure where your shot will strike.
4. Go over at post, pulling
the gun through butt first after
wards making sure that no one
is in line with the muzzle on the
other side of the fence.
5. Keep the muzzle pointed
away from others and yourself.
Remember the unloaded (gun?)
is the one that causes accidents.
6. Be nonchalant if you use
high speed shells in an ancient
gun.

AT this writing some 20
lads are going through daily
PAGES in preparation for the
coming amateur meets, the
next of which will be the
City Novice Tournament at
the YMCA. Only boys who
are relative beginners are
eligible to compete as any
one who has ever reached the
finals in a tourney may not
enter.
This factor, however, doesn't
put damper on the action in
the show. Regardless of exper-
ience, these lads are swinging
from the opening bell and usu-
ally have the fans on their feet
most of the time. What they
lack in ring finese the boys
make up in spunk and the de-
sire to win.
We should have several fight
ers entered in the tournament
and whatever the outcome, the
boys will profit heavily from
the experience gained. With a
fight or two under his belt, an
has a definite psychol-
ogical edge over the lad who is
stepping in the ring for the first
time.

the ninth inning, with two out,
in the deciding pennant game
of 1903 between the Giants and
the Chicago Cubs. Merkle was
on first, the score tied, and the
winning run was on third base.
The batter hit single, the man
on third streaked home, and the
game was over, Merkle on his
way TO second, saw his team
mate score, so he turned and
ran to the clubhouse. Crowds
streamed on the field. However,
the alert second baseman for the
Cubs, Johnny Evers, called for
the ball, touched second base,
and Merkle was declared out and
the run that had been scored
was nullified, This was the third
out, so the score was tied. There
was rioting on the field and it
was impossible to continue the
game. The Giants were forced
into play-off game and lost,
losing the game and of course
the pennant.
A native of Toledo, Merkle
moved to Florida Is years ago.
He got into the balsa-float busi-
ness when he hit upon simple
method for improving the de-
sign. BY inserting a brass tube
through the float, the previous
bugaboo of threading a water
soaked, warped float was elimi-
mated.
Fight fans of yesterday are
perhaps wondering what has be-

of the Swartzbaugh team in
that IL team circuit.
WHY'S Has 958
Florkowski Started modestly
with ITO boosted it to 100 and
finished with a strong 225 to
help his team to three wins over
DeVilbiss. The 225 coupled with
captain Gene Lipe's 234 gave
the WHY'S team a 958 in the
third game and high single team
game in the loop. Lipe finished
with a $50. Paul Lochke. was a
top man for DeVilbiss with 534.
Getting back to Sulling, he
spent the balance of Tuesday
evening trying to figure out
what happened after that first
game. Bill had what appeared a
hot evening when he started
the series with a 238. In the sec
ond game, well, Bill would rath-
er it should be shelved for good
for he came up with a 149. He
recovered in a hurry, however,
coming back in the third game
with a creditable 1856. In spite
of the 583 it was not good
enough to help the Swartzbaugh
salvage any games from PACI
who are leading the loop now as
a result of the three game vic
tory.
Too Much PAC
PAC had too much strength
with lead off man Andy Dobry-
chowski up with 555, Duke Sit
tor 538 and anchor man Geor-
ge Baer tossing a 546.
Third place WHY'S Unit main
tanned their position in the
standings adding two games to
the win column at the expense
of Be Jay Inn that team employ
ed at Swartzbaugh. Captain
Fred Bowel had 1875 the first
game and his team dropping the
decision to the Bee Jays by 10
pins. He redeemed himself in
the second game hitting 180 to
give his team victory by few
pins. Earl Leffel, Joe Majores
and Mel Aumiller had the nee
essary pins to win the third
game.
Soinski Keeps Going
W-O made certain of staying
out of the cellar by humping
last place Toledo Stamping for
three games to increase that
between 18th and 18th
place to six games. Ollie Soin-
ski continued his series in the
500 bracket for seven consec-
utive weeks bettering that mark
by seven pins this week.
Toledo Steel Tube won two
from Russell for Council team
and it gives them a tie with that
team for seventh place. Bud

man Ed Quetschke a 548 was
the deciding total in winning
the first two games. Steve Was
