THE DAIL\ ALASKA EMPIRE, \/\1URI)\\ J N I9 —BlNG CROSBY IS Last Time Tonight 2—FEATURE RICARDO CORTEZ “Bad Com pan T S‘TARTS b1y Pap A quick glance over the 10 lead- ing names in the 193¢ National league batting averages reveals a rather startling lack of veterans; those names that we have be- come accustomed to seeing at the top year "fwr year. Follov the top three, Paul ‘Waner, Bill Terry and Hazen Cuy- ler—come seven “new names.” Jim Collins, St. Louis; Floyd Vaughn, Pittsburgh; Sam Leslie, Brookly: Joz Moore, New York; Ethan Al- len, Philadelphia; John Moore, Philadelphia; and Harlan Pool, Cincinnati. Only a year ago Chuck Klein topped the list followed by his teammate of the Phillies, Virgil Davis. The veteran Riggs Stephen- son was in third place, with slug- gers like Bill Terry, ‘“Pepper” Mar- tin, Wally Berger and Freddie Lindstrom in lipe. Terry, of course, is still up there, but it takes a deal of searching through the long list to find most of the other names this year. One of them, Riggs Stephenson, is en- | tirely missing. Klein and Davis have slipped down to 28th and 30th position respectively. Wally Berger is No. 34, Freddy Lindstrom is 42 and “Pepper” Martin 44.

Collins and Medwick were the only Cardinals with higher batting averages for the season than did this young backstop. Jim Collins not only led the Cardinals in batting but also paced the National league in the slugzing averages. He led Mel Ott of the Giants, for the home run honors with 35 and collected a total of 369 bases for his hits. Hazel Cuyler, Cubs, led theright handed batters with a mark of 338. PITY THE POOR REDS With the renowned Chick Hafey and Jim Bottomley failing tereach the .300 mark, it remained for a newcomer, the way for Cincinnati batters with a 325 average.. When the National league season began, Pool was playing minor league baseball. Pai! Waner hit his old stride and retained the championship he won in 1927. The younger crop of sluggers enjoyed a remarkable year in the National league—so much so that many a veteran’s winter vacation is going to be spoiled when he looks over the batting records for the hectic 1934 season. Bill Urbanski, of the Boston Braves, set a new Jleague record when he visited the plate six times jon June 13th without being charg- |ed with an official time at bat.

In ad- dition to Crosby, the film features Carole Lombard, George Burn ind Gracie Allen, Ethel Merman and Leon Errol. | Norman Taurog directed from | the screen play by Stephen More- house Avery. The songs for Cros- by, as well as these which Ethel | Merman sings, were all written by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel, composers of “Did You Ever See a Dream Waltzing?” Aboard a palatial yacht, Carole Lombard, a wealthy heiress, is touring the South Pacific with her two rich suitors and her goofy uncle, Leon Errol. Bored with life in general, the young girl gets quite a kick out of watching the antics of one of her sailors, Bing Crosby, to whom she has entrusted the care of her pet bear, Droopy. In his drunken moments one foggy night, Errol stumbles into the wheelhouse, opens a door through which all the charts are blown, breaks the compass, and they all wake up, wrecked on a deserted isle. Now, with loads of work to do, the sailor takes matters into his hands, and to the annoyance of everyone, especially Carole Lom- bard, he puts them all to work. Complications increase daily, and become quite serious when Burns and Allen, a couple of na- turalists, join their camp. How Bing sings his way through their troubles, eventually winning the heart of his wealthy employer, brings the picture to an enter- taining climax.
