It was a tight performance last evening, and the Legion men put in a strong bid for honors, al- hy¥ though they were forced to use three chuckers to keep the scor E4 ing down. In the seventh the Le- gion shoved over one marker to come within“a single point of a tie, but Jackson and his helpers buckled, dewn and won after two men had reached first beforé any were out. This is the first victory Jack- son has taken for the Bilis this ¥ season. He struck out but five men, walked two, and made one wild pitch, but only two errors were made behind him, one of which eventually gave the Vets a *run. Not a Legionnaire was re- sponsible for a bungle. Elks Take Big Lead In the second inning the Bills scored twice. Andrews singled past third base. Jackson singled into left field sending Andrews to third. Jackson stole second while Henning fanned. Koski's single over second base scored Andy and Jackson.

The world champions may be |sni|l io have won the pennant be- fore June 1. The arrival of the month that is supposed to, bring perfect days brought{ them only for Ruppert, Barrow, Huggins, Ruth & Co. The advent of sum- mer found the Yapkees .in the position of having % won three- fourths of their games with theirl losses yet in double figures. Something should be done about it but the only agencies who car do anything about it find them selves unable. The Athletic playing under their own vine ana fig tree, hoped that they might throw a monkey wrench iuto the machinery, grease the tracks or something. Either the Yankees carried non-breakable machinery or they had their - own sand fo they won five of a six game se riés. No nourishment thore for Connfe Mack, Ty “Cobb, Tris Speaker, etc. - “They’ll break up the league” is. heard now but ‘that seems doubtful. Col. Jacob Ruppert president of the Yankees, rubbed his hands with glee when his children spiked the Pirates’ guns four times in a row in a world series and he will yell ‘“bear down” at Huggins and -his wreck- ing crew to the bitter end of the season. If the Yankees conid win the pennant by the Fourth of July or Labor Day it would be quite all right with the Colonel. The New Yorks were supposed to be going into the 1928 season with a poor lot of pitches “It's just as well that the Yankees willi veteran trainer who had to give a lot of first aid to injured athletes last year, said 1928 could not be so bad as 1927. “There’s one thing cortain” Mike declared. “We can't have as much happen to us this year as we did last when half the toam; was laid up half the time.” Mike was wrong. This year has| been even harder for him than, last. Manager Harris has been able to play only a few games and “Goose” Goslin, the koynote! of the Senator attack, has been out of the game with a lame arm, The Goose, whose name is Leon,!| can hit as hard as ever but can'i] throw. There have been numer ous other casualties but the loss of Harris and Goslin hurt most. To prove, perhaps, that il never rains but it pours, George Sisler, who did no hitting from the con- fines of the Washington bench, took his turn in the batters’ box for the Boston Braves and start- ed smashing the ball at a .400; clip. e SIX DIXIE COLL: CTARS IN B!G LEAGUES| ATLANTA, June 19-—8ix Dixio collegians ‘who have carried their higher education into "the major leagues are proving a credit to baseball as played in the South- land.

New Warfare Brings Demolition of Forts MAUBEUGE, France, June Striking proof that the concept of warfare can again be what it was b re 1914 is offered by the demolition, now in progress, of the forts surround ing this town, formerly one of France's almost impregnable fortresses and the strategic point of obstruction against invasion of France from the north. Upon the outbreak of the world war it generally suppored that Maubeuge could stem the enemy advance again as it did in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, But the German advance, follow- ing the retreat of Mons, left the fortresses here useless after 11 days of desperate fighting. Those 11 days taugit military straleglsts that mobility replaced the old principle of fixed forts. Maubeuge, therefore, is being stripped of its defenses, and will be made an “open town" signifi cant only for. its factories, porce lain kilns and marble works. Its military importance, dating from the days of Louis XIV, has de- parted forever, 19—| world's | never| was You can see quite a number of the new Chevrolets, Pontiacs and Buicks on the Streets of Juneau Ask the owners of those beautiful cars how they perform before you decide on what car to buy.
