Big Reception Will Await Scouts At
 National .Jamb0ree

and 5 leaders moves Tn on the other 10000 Scouts from all over America at the National JambOree at Valley Forge, Penn, next sum- mer, big reception will await them. Except for military person nel's boys from Japan and the Ha- Waiian Island delegation, they will have come the furtheSt from home to attend, and it will be- come their opportunity to help dispel some of the State-side mis- conceptions concerning ordinary life in the Territory. Since the Alaska lads are quite capable of taking care of themselves in an exchange of tall tales, some of their stories may need to be toned down toward reality, in order to avoid stretching the truth too far, according to Scout executive Mau- rice Powers, who will accompany the group and be in charge of ar engagements for their trip.
 Immediately after their arrival June 29th, one of the Alaska Troops first duties will be the setting up of their "A sleeping tents and dining flies. In order to make sure that everyone knows where the Alaska contingent are stationed, Scouts will stencil bright-colored totems and other Alaska figures on their tents, and they will fly the flag of the Ter ritory over their camp. It is plan ned that a decorative archway will mark the entrance to the 1 Alaska troops site, poss b 1 y adorned with an igloo replica from the Fairbanks group and an authentic totem pole from the s Sou heast towns. Edward l.. Keithahn, curator of the Territo- rial Museum at Juneau, offered to lend Alaska's Scout represen- tatives a genuine" totem pole from his private collection, and it is planned that it will be care ] fully packed and carried along with the group as they make their five thousand mile trek to Wash ington's winter headquarters.
 Scouts are planning now to take with them literally thousands of swap" goods. It is the custom at these National gatherings for boys to exchange souvenirs from their home locality for those of | boys from other places, so that when they return home the Alas ka boys may have anything in their duffle from Florida baby al- ligatorS to horned toads from Texas. In return the Alaska boys vii ltake with them such valuable souvenirs as miniature totem poles, walrus and elk teeth, bear claws, Yukon River and Arctic Ocean water samples, small pieces of ivory and native carving, Alas ka camp patches, rock and min eral samples, and dozens of other desirable trading items.
 32 of the B places in the Jam boree troop have already been re- served by outstanding representa- lives of Alaska's best troops, with major problem facing Alaska's Jamboree Committee of deciding whether or not to ask the Nation al Council to allow the full quota

High Batting Averages

Minor League Hurting
By Burton Hawkins
Sfar Stoff Correspondent

ORLANDO, Fla, April 6.-The
Mats have some gaudy batting
averages, but a breakdown of the
figure%with an exception in the
case Of Eddie Robinson-offers
evidence that the lineup isn't likely
to disturb major league pitching
Idle yesterday when a morning

now are in the midst of a four day
vacation. They don't play again
until Saturday. when they meet
the Athletics in the opener of a

statistics concerning their hitting.
IA Games With Big Leaguers.
They have played IA games
against major league teams and
six against minor league outfits.
Some Of their batting averages
would indicate Manager Bucky
Harris is equipped with an array
of sluggers, but only Robinson s
mark will bear scrutiny.
! The big first baseman has
shelled major league pitching at
a .415 pace. and against minor
leaguers he has been a All hitter.
Here's the way the Mats are
hitting against major and minor
league hurting.
Evening star., 1950-04-06


Harris has felt that the Mats
wouldn't present a bad front with
passable pitching, but those fig
ures on the left are evidence that
the club may be in for a rough
time of it at bat also.
The Mats admittedly have run
into pretty good pitchers gen.
orally when battling major league
teams, but when the season starts
April 18, they'll be stacked against
good pitching nearly every day
They don't demonstrate they can
wallop good pitching.
Idleness Causes Worry.
Griffith doesn't relish the idea
Of the Mats not playing for four
days. Robinson, granted a day
off when Washington bowed to
Springfield Monday. will have
been idle five days when the Mats
face the AS and Griffith says,
1T could hurt him. He might
lose his edge"
The Mats may be harmed by
an exhibition schedule with three
scheduled open dates this week,
plus games with Charlotte, Dur
ham and Reidsville en- route to
Washington. In those contests
with low minor league clubs, the

Jockey Who Rode ? Consecutive Derby Winners
Reviews His Turf Career in Interview at Laurel
By Lewis F. Atchison

Only Two jockeys ever have
ridden two consecutive Kentucky
Derby winners, the late Isaac
Murphy and Jimmy WINFIELD.
both Negroes. We found Wink
field at the No. IL barn at Laurel
just after the 67-year-old trainer
had finished exercising Little
Rocket and Whirlabit. two of the
four horses under his care. He
seemed surprised that anybody
remembered that he won the big
race on His Eminence in 1901 and
repeated on Alan-a-Dale in 1902
despite the fact the latter broke
down in the stretch.
I'VE had to push him back to
the scales" he recalled. thinking
back to Alan-a-Dale's race. His
legs bowed. They were bad before
the Derby-so bad we trained
him. hitched to a sulky. to keep
the weight off bis back. I never
ran him faster than 2:11 for a
mile and a quarter"
Maj. Thomas Clay Mcdowell,
great-grandson of Henry Clay, was
the breeder, owner and trainer of
Alan-a-Dale. The only other man
who ever bred, owned and trained
a Derby winner was Thomas P.
Hayes, whose Donerail won in
1913. Alan-a-Dale also had the
distinction Of being the only win
ner of the Derby who made his
only start as a 3-year-old in the
Churchill classic. Bad legs kept
him out of competition until
the following year when he won
three of his four races, including
the $4,000 Brighton Junior
Stakes.
Graphic Story Of Victory.
The chart comment on the race
tells the graphic story of Alan-a-
Dale's Derby victory.
THE Rival was first to show"
it states, "but Alan-a-Dale caught
him in the first eighth, opened a
four-length lead going into home
stretch. went lame in the final
eighth. carried on with flawleSs
courage, and won by a nose"
Winkf1eld's victory on His Emil
nence was easier. He broke in
front and stayed there, winning
easily by two lengths. This horse
has an added claim to fame in
being the only other, aside from
Old Rosebud and Exterminator,
to win the Derby and the Clark
Handicap. His Eminence won it
as q 3-year-old the last time the
Clark was run as a stake. After
the 1901 season it was changed
to a handicap race.
WINFIELD rode Thrive to third
place in the 1900 Derby, his first
try for the coveted honor. He had
the mount on Early in the. 1908
race and was beaten three-quar-
