they're like the little boy with

has solved Washington's shortstop
problem, but there still are waves
lof weaknesses ready to engulf the

Unless Runnels is an artist at

natural inclination by the Mats
fans to withhold enthusiasm when
Pete batted 500 in seven games
against Cleveland's, crack pitching
staff. There was a feeling that
the leagues pitchers would detect
a weakness and exploit it, but
Runnels keeps rolling along.
Pete finished nine successive
games against the acceptable

an 8-5 decision to the Yankees

Team Is Failure,
Where il Looked
To Be Strongest
Hopes for Redemption
Sunday in Contest
With Forty-Niners
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stcr Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 16.-The
Iglum Redskins looked to Sundays
game with the Forty Miners today
hopeful of redeeming themselves
after taking a 1914 shellacking
from the Rams before a crowd OF
81 1856 here last night in the OPEN
ing exhibition game of the season
for both teams.
Fifty-flve seconds after the
opening kickoff the Rams were
ahead. TO. Fifteen seconds be-
fore the finish they scored their
eighth touchdown to give the Tribe
its worst defeat of this six-game
series played for charity.
A big, veteran line. supposedly
the Redskins strength, turned out
to be one of their biggest weak
nesses. It couldn't be blamed on
the line. but Coach Herman Ball
had hoped for a better perform
ance and didn't try to hide his
disappointment. He dressed them
down between halves. which is
unusual, and the team perked up
noticeably in the second half, but
it was too late.
Redskins Never Recover.
The Redskins never recovered
from the shock of the Rams first
touchdown. pass from Bob
Waterf1eld to Elroy Hirsch, cover
ling 49 yards. Some eight minutes
later Tommy Kalminar dashed 46
yards for another score, and those
quick thrusts were tipof on what
was to come.
The Redskins got their first
touchdown in between, but it was
a slow. painful march of IA yards,
with Rob Goode and Bill Dudley
Ismacking the line while Quarter
back Harry Gilmer alternately
passed to Bones Taylor and Eddie
Saenz. 1t was a 24-yard pass to
Saenz that paid off, Eddie falling
over the goal line with Herb Rich
clinging to his legs.
Balls fear that his secondary
defense wouldn't hold up against
the Rams passes was justified as
the Rams used the airways to ride
to their next two scores. Water
field and Van Brocklin took them
70 yards on the first drive which
featured short throws to Williams,
Hirsch, Glenn Davis and Tom
Fears. An 11-yard toss to Fears,
the leagues leading pass catcher
ended the drive.
Giimer's Pass Scores.
Van Brocklin passed 48 yards to
Hirsch. who added bit of fancy
legwork for good measure to get
the next score and that was the
ball game.
The Redskins came right back
for their second and final score
after this, Gilmer pitching a 49-
yard strike to Taylor. But they
didn't seriously threaten there
after.
-Four Rams touchdowns in the
second period, giving them a 41-14
halftime lead, convinced Ball it|
wasn't Washington's evening, and
in the second half he gave orders
to control the ball as long as pos
sible to hold down the count.

APPOINTED TO NATIONAL COMMITTEE

The Alaska Chapter of the Associated General Contractors has received advice from Wash ington, D. C. that D. l.. Cheney, C hapter President, has been appointed to the Joint Coopera- tive Committee of the National Association of State Aviation Officials and the Associated Gen eral Contractors of America.
 Chapter officials regard the appointment, the first in Alaska, as significant since the Joint Committee, made up of con- struction and Government aVia- tion officials, plays an important part in the national civilian and defense airport construction pro- gram. The Joint Committee con- siders matters of mutual concern to aviation and construction in- tereSts, makes recommendations for improvements in airport de- VelOpment and endeaVorS to stin- ulate appropriate action through national organizations of state and industrial groups.
 Cheney, who is vice-president of s. Birch and Sons, General Contractors of Anchorage, has had wide experience in airport construction in the states as we'll as Alaska and his appointment to the Joint Committee is eX- pected to enlist the support of the National Committee in fo- cusing attention on the impor- tance of the Territorial airport development program. This is the second recognition given Cheney this month by the con- struction industry. He was re- gently appointed to the National Advisory C m m t { e of the Associated General Contractors of America Officials of the Alaska Chapter, national affili- ate, consider the appointments as national acknowledgement of the importance of the Alaskan civilian and defense develop ment program.

 Change of Quarters
 Quarters in the Mount Build ing had grown cramped by this time, and the library was moved to the present location in the Bank Building, with the Wom- ans Club paying the rent, which is a very nominal sum.
 MT. Swetmann included the library in the remodeling of the Bank Building early this year. It now has twice the original space, and facilities for dish washing and hot plate, which will enable the Library Board to rent the rooms for small gatherings.
 A membership fee of $2O0 per year is charged now, which in addition to fines and a 15 cent per week pay shelf has enabled the Board to keep the monthly best sellers at the disposal of the public. A children's corner will be found in the new library which now houses a collection of approximately 1000 volumes. Damaged and outdated reference books have been culled, so that the collection is now we'll order ed and modern.
 Although windows will not be in place by Monday, everything else is in order and the Library Board invites the entire reading and interested public to attend the opening Monday Mrs. SWet- mann, president, has returned to Seward this week, and will be pre- e n t to greet her many friends. Other members of the present Board are: Mrs. Law renee Whitmore, vice president; Mrs. Tom Jones, secretary-treas- urer; Mrs. Wm. Erwin, Mrs. Harold Camper, Mrs. Tom How ell, and Mrs. Sybil Reed, librari- an.
 It is this latter group that has worked so hard to give the city a good library. Seward Com munity Library is monument to them and to those whose un- selfish devotion to their goal down through the years has set up an institution whose value is acknowledged to be the greatest asset to any community, large or small.

 Hence, we cannot necessarily conclude that the Lowell family made a bad deal when they leased their original 160 acres to the Railroad Company for $50 per year, with option to purchase for $2000 Actually, they sold for that amount, and in 1903, they sold their remaining ten acre tract for another $2000. John E. and Frank l..
