Builds Shattuck Block Regardless of Weather (Continued 1rom Page Six) Electrical wiring and fixtures were furnished and installed by the Alaska Electric Light and Pow- er company while staining, varnish- ing and painting throughout the structure was in charge of Oscar Sundberg. Oak flooring throughout the building was placed and fin- ished by Garland Boggan, expert in this work. Finish hardware for the struc- ture was furnished by the Thomas Hardware Gompany and the rough hardware and general building spe- cialties were purchased from both the Juneau Young Hardware Com- pany and the Thomas Hardware | Company. Millwork, Jncluding the | mahogany doors and trim; and window glass was supplied by the ‘Jumau Lumber Company, agents for the Coast Sash and Door Com- pany of Tacoma, and flooring was purchased from the local bganch of the Columbia Lumber Company. Fresh Portland Cement, for con- crete, and all other cement re- quirements were supplied for build- ing by the G. E. Krause Company and the Juneau Lumber Company. W. P. Fuller and Company fur- nished the plate glass used and the chromium plated metal bars for the attractive store fronts. The material for the panels under the |show windows is black fornica, a composition having a hard glossy surface which is most triking in appearance, according to Mr. War- rack. The' sheets for this were moulded and cut to the exact size in the Cleveland factory Heating and Plumbing “All heating and plumbing work was done by the firm of Rice and Ahlers under a separate contract and was carried through to com- pletion with speed and splendid co- operation,” Mr. Warrack said.

Curtis Shattuck, son of Mr. Shattuck, became associat- ed with the firm in 1930. Four of the original fire com- panies are still included among the present twenty-one carriers. Ten of the companies represent- ed by Allen Shattuck, Inc, are| listed among the twenty st!ungml companies in the United States| today. In addition to the fire set-up, the agency has companies writing many lines of insurance, including automobile, airplane, marine and| allied lines, workmen's compensa- tion, public liability, accident and health, fire, bonds, plate glass, burglary and theft, full casualty lines, and all risl Real estate is another activity of this office. ‘The corporation, contrary to the general practice in the States, ad- justs most of its own losses. In this its record is unmarred, for no elaim has ever been rejected, mnor has a loss case ever been in court. Allen Shattuck, Inc., by its rec- ord, has established a unique place in the community for reliability and fair dealing. Tt has just now realized a long| cherished dream of being comfort- ably housed in its own building. the owners, corporated, drew all plans and specifications for the building which were followed faithfully by the builders, according to Mr. ‘Warrack, who expressed himself as more than pleased with the ability | and co-operation of all those who contributed to the building of this new addition to the business sec- tion of the city. Mr. Shattuck has received many congratulations on the completion of this latest fine building which is added to the lony list of Alaska structures built by the Warrack Construction Com- The gentleman across the table, in a position to know whereof he marked: “Major league baseball, especially ‘during the last few years, has | reached a point where the wealthy | sportsman or business man, con- | trolling a club, has the advantage ovér those who must try to operate on the basis of making both ends | meet, The fact is that most big {league clubs have been in the red since 1930; lucky if they did so well as break even. “Even in good times there isn't much money to be made in profes- | sional baseball, because of the big risk and heavy expense involved Because it is primarily a sport, not a business, profits (such as they may be) can't be taken out and | distributed to stockholders. They | must be put right back into the | elub, in players, improvements, etc Otherwise the club will slip and 50 will the gate receipts. Brooklyn is an example of what I have in fnind here. | 'S0, T say, it is the men like | Colonel Ruppert of the Yankees, the' Wrigleys of Chicago and the | newcomers, such as Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red Sox and Powel | Crosley Jr., of the Cincinnati Reds, who are best fixed to keep a big {league club going strong. They are (mot in the game for what they can make out of it, because it's a side-line or, if you will, a hobby | with them.” WHAT MUST BE FIGURED | Our companion took' pad and | pencil to give us a more explicit idea of just what it means to op- |erate @ big league organization. |For the example, he took a Na- tional league outfit which will serve, perhaps, as an average—not at the top of the heap nor at the | bottom but in the contender class and, therefore, a real attraction at home as well as on the road. “For purposes of figuring, we will estimate on drawing 600,000 cus- tomers for 77 games at home, half that many on the road. After de- duction of taxes and payments of 25 cents per customer to the visit- ing team, we average 60 cents per admission for ourselves at home. That gives us a gross of $360,000 Then, from road games, put down a gross income of $75,000 more. ‘That gives us a total of $435000 for income. “The biggest item of overhead is player salaries. Put down $200.- 000 for the season. ¥t used to be 25 per cent more than that. The average salary is still higher, per- haps, than it should be, in com- parison with our income, but let it go at that. Now put down these other items and see how we come &l out: “Rental of park (we don’t own it was speaking, leaned over and re-| \ and this is $45,000; taxes, $30,000; three road trips at $15000 each for all ex- penses, $45,000; insurance, $15,000; office and executive salaries; $50,- 000; tickets, medical bills, repairs, minor employes, etc., $30,000. “How much does that add up to? ‘What, only $415,000? That means a gross profit of $20,000. We must have overlooked something but, anyway, suppose we do have that much profit, what kind of a heavy- hitting outfielder do you think we can buy for that kind of money? ‘The year before last, we put $160,- 000 into mew players and Tl tell you where we wound up. Yes,inthe red!” b A CHEER FOR MAGNATES These figures furnish some clue to why the two Philadelphia clubs were forced to unload much of their star talent over the winter in order to keep going. The attendance of both the Ath- letics and Philliés fell off last year. The A’s also had a topheavy pay- roll, probably was around the top of the heap. The aggregate major league play- pe.ymll for all 16 clubs is ap- R FIGHT POSTPONED The heavyweight cham- pionship fight scheduled for Jast night at Miami Beach Florida, between champion Primo Carnera and Tommy Loughran, was postponed on account of most unfavorable weather.
