DOUGLAS FIRE LADS HOLD OFF RALLY TO .WIN; Juneau Prep Quintet Beat- en at Douglas, 27 to 24 CITY LEAGUE Ww. L. DeMolay Juncau Fire. Douglas Fire. Gecerge Bros, Krause Conc. High Schosl Moose RESULTS LAST NIGHT * Douglas Firemen 27, Juneaw High School 24. GAMES TOMORROW At Juneau High School— “Terrible Turks” vs “Maneat- ers” at 7:30 o'clock (grade school exhibition) ; Juneau High School vs Douglas High School at 8:15 o'clock (prep exhibi- tion). Despite a determined third-quar- ter rally by their foes, the Doug- las Firemen opened their play in the City Basketball League for this final half when they defeated Ju- neau High School at Douglas Nat- | atorium last night, 27 to 24. So, today, as victory, the across-the-Channel lads are tied for the circult lead with the Juneau Firemen and the DeMolays. None has been beaten, although the latter two clubs have played one more game than Doug- las. Douglas stepped into a first quar- ter lead of 6-to-2, and held that lead in the face of a thrilling prep rally in the latter stages of the contest. The winners led at half- time, 14-9; and at the third quar- ter by but 21-19. Leading the winners was tricky Rex Fox, who swished the twine for some 11 points. Angus Gair, at center, showed flashes of the form which made him a highly-touted player several seasons ago as he eathered eight markers. Tauno Neimi also had eight for Douglas. Dutch Behrends, forward, was best for the preps, with six tallies. The game was rough, with 23 fouls being called by officials E. E. Engstrom and Chuck Whyte. Gair and Hank Meade, prep center were ousted on four personal fouls, while Behrends was disqualified for unnecessary roughness in the third quarter. PREP TILT ON The tentatively scheduled exhi- bition game betwéen Douglas and Juneau high school teams on the Juneau floor tomorrow night, be- came a fact today. A. B. Phillips, superintendent of schools, an- nounced that the game will be played. It will mark the fourth meeting between the two squads, Coach Harold E. Regele’s Juneau team having won the first three to cinch the Gastineau Channel champion- ship. ‘The game, slated to start at 8:15 o'clock, will be preceded by a grade school exhibition at 7:30 o'clock. Douglas Gray, teacher in the grade school, has trained the two teams called the “Terribie Turks” and the ‘‘Maneaters.” SUMMARY Last night's summary: DOUGLAS (27 G.

Portland will be stronger. And, forget it not, Seattle will be strong- er. The old race will be hotter | next season than it was last, sure enough.” | According to the Seattle boss, the new split week series, which will | be featured on the 1935 schedule, will cost the league $15,000 more | | than under the old idea of play- ing a full week against each club. “The extra expense of the slpit series idea couse me to talk against it, but when all the other directors seemed to want it I voted in favor. 1 believe it will add interest, but it must add $15,000 worth to give he league a chance to break even. That additional sum will go for traveling expenses to carry out the scheme.” One thing Klepper is not worried about. That is the loss of balls| during the practice season at San- ta Barbara. During his trip south Klepper made an inspection of the new training field at Santa Bar- bara: Here is what he found: Left tield fence 330 feet from the plate; right field fence 365 feet from the plate; center field fence so far away it's a day’s trip by auto from he plate. “‘If we can uncover a hitter who can pound the ball over the fence at Santa Barbara he will be worth the price of the balls he loses,” chirped Klepper. The boss reports the field ‘as half completed and one of the best on the southern training _cireuit. No deals are in sight for immediate present, according ta Klepper, but he admits he is in the market for a good pitcher or| two if the chance bobs up to annex iny real talent to his present col-| lection of chuckers. Klepper ex- pects to remain in Seattle until shortly before the opening of the spring practice season in March, - D Emplre Clu-med Ads Pay. the | Watch and Jewelry Repairing { at very reasonable rates | PAUL BLOEDHORN FINE , | i HTQNT STREET 4 i FOR PITCHERS T0 SHOOT AT By FRITZ HOWELL (Associated Press Sports Writer) WOOSTER, O, Jan. 24.—Three major league baseball records—one in batting, one in pitching and one in fielding—that's the record of Guy Heckey of Woster, who be- lieves that present day hurlers don't work enough to keep in shape to pitch effectively. Hecker has passed the 70-year mark, and did his playing a half- century ago, but his mark of seven runs scored in one game still the few that grace the annals of the national game, and his feat of going through a game at first base without a putout or assist is one that can be equalled but not bet- tered The veteran did his stuff with the Louisville club in the old Am- erican association, from 1882 to 1891, when that loop was a major circuit. His playing days over, he turned to the grocery business for a while, and then became an oil man. He came here for an oil con- cern nine years ago, but has been retired for the last four years if- ter sufering serious injuries in auto accident M Until recently, Hecker hac three gold medals which told of his three diamond records, but he sold the insignias last summer when the government issued a call for gold of any nature. He still has a gold watch, given him by admiring fans, and says he will never part with it It was in Louisville, Aug. 15, 1886, | that Hecker pitched the ball game | in which he set the scoring record | of seven runs. Louisville won the contest 22-5, Hecker allowing four‘ hits, walking four and striking out | the fame number. Three of Heck- er's seven runs were homers, and his share of the box score shows: | ABRHPOAE Hecker 7 3. CPINEN “The time I didn't get a hit, I fielder so hard he couldn’t hold it| and it was scored as an error.” Handed a regulation baseball, Hecker “hefted” it and said it seemed a bit heavier than the ones he pitched in the old days. He said, however, that he had not | had a ball in his hand for a quar- ter of a century. “I threw a fast ball and a curve with a quick break, but depended more on my speed,” the veteran said. “In those days I pitched ev-| ery other day, and then played | first base or in the outfield an the other days, Hecker pitched his no-hit gnme at Louisville, Sept. 19, 1882, defeat- | LET US YOUR HOME Krafft’s Cabinet Shop and Millwork PLYWOOD—Any Size and Quantity PLATE and AUTO GLA HARDWOOD —Mirrors and FINISHIN HELP YOU TO MODERNIZE and Window Glass LUMBER ing PN B 15 1, SIS DEING'| bt o oot it bt i oo S responsible for the opposing run. ‘The contest in which he played‘ first base without accepting a| chance was won by Cincinnati, 2| to 0, at' Cincinnati, Oct. 9, 1887.
