The second game is billed for tonight. Weather indications this after- noon were none too good and the official forecast was cloudy and showers this evening. If postpone- ment is necessary, the game will be played Thursday evening if the weather is favorable then. Manager Goddard of the Vets is crippled with the absence of Ward | McAlister whose injured hand will keep him off the mound, and who is working a shift that keeps him out of the series. Ev' Nowell, leading Vet hitter and star out- fielder, is also absent on business in Ketchikan. There's not much hope of him getting back before Sunday. Lowe probably will be called on to hurl tonight's game, leaving Junge to step into the breach for the third game. — The total area of the Nantahala Natlonal forest, which lies in North Carolina, South <Carolina and Georgia, is 355,000 acres. — .- - SHOP IN JUNEAU!

HORSE RACING ON COAST “The Californians certainly are planning to give the south’s win- ter racing circuit something to think about this coming season in ithe matter of bidding services of the best thoroughbreds | with three tracks promising wi jover $200,000 in stakes money. | “Bill Kyne opens up in Octobar |at San Mateo, near San Francisco, with a new track which will spring the barrier on the first real s son of racing in California in sev- {eral decades, thanks to the legal- ized betting law passed a year | ago. | “Immediately thereafter the Los | Angeles Jockey Club stages its in- augural Christmas day and runs for, 56 days, with the. $100,000 San- ita Anita handicap the top prize. | ““When it closes down, Agua Caliente in baja California plans to 'open with a shorter season than ever before, but with such high ‘Fpots on the program as the Agua Caliente handicap and derby. I | | MORE CALIFORNIA CHAMPS? “Racing at Tanforan, near San Francisco, never created much of !a stir, since few of the big stables ;sent thoroughbreds of note west and Agua Sallente seldom could do | better than put a handful of top | performers on its course. | “But wjth approximately 150 days of racing coming up, sweet- |ened with some big purses, it ap- | pears that California is about to come back into its own as one of “the nation’s big horse racing states. | “Naturally, the breeding indus- :try has picked up sharply here so ghat the state may be contributing in a few years thoroughbreds equal to its numerous other champions.” e NO PERMANENT .

SOUTHERN TALE 1S CONVINCING INTR | By JOHN SELBY NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—As long | as time goes on, writers will try to land its problems, into print. It is a difficult assignment, as |Stark Young doubtless learned | when he wrote “So Red The R (Scribners). The whole atmo: phere of the old south—the julep- lifting Colonel, the delicately grace- ful southern wife, the faithful cerviter, the invading Yank—all has become stereotyped in the pub- lic mind. What is more sad than that, it has become slereotyped in writers’ minds as well. So that when Mr. Young started, as he obviously did, to write a truthful tale having to do with the pericd immediately be- fore the Civil war, the war itself and the carpetbagging era there- after, he must have found himself badly handicapped. He has partly overcome the han- dicap by an almost fierce insist- ence upon the individuality of his characters. These are, chiefly, the McGehees of “Montrose,” near Natchez, and their relatives, the Bedferds of “Portobello” in Louis- lana across the Mississippi. The interlacing roots of the two clans touch many strange places; their!| activities in the story itself bring| another large group of characters and places into the book. And the story itself is convinc-! ing, and thus supports Mr. Young's| edifice very competently. If he| has not written a ‘‘different” book, he has at least made an honest| one that often is beautiful.
