B. Phil- lips, superintendent of schoolsand president of the City League. The new bleachers, which will supplement the inadequate scatter- ed chairs and benches now in use, will seat 300 persons. This num- ber is expected easily to accommo- cdate all average crowds. | Built so that they may be taken down when not in use, the bleach- ers are being assembled by the manual training classes of the high school under the- supervision of Principal Alex Dunham. The metal portions for the new grand- stands arrived Sunday on the northbound Northwestern. The lumber is being obtained at the Juneau Lumber Mill. The final games of the City League season are slated for Feb- ruary 19. A high school series for the championship of Southeast Al- aska, will follow soon after this. It is expected that the bleachers will be in use by this time. Leave it to Connie Mack to come up with some revolutionary idea. The veteran manager of the Phila- delphia Athletics insists that his ' plans for 1935 place Jimmy Foxx behind , the bat. ! Mack followed that announce- ment with the release of Charley Berry, who caught 99 games in 1934 before he fractured a leg in Cleveland. That left only Frank Hayes, a powerful youngster who came directly to the Athletics from high school. 3 So it looks as though Mack is really serious about his plans for Foxx. ‘l Jimmy joined the Athletics as a catcher in 1925. He was sent to bA}Ly SPORTS CARTOON~ 77, /- TE AWLETICS SLUGGING FIRST- BASEMAN DLANS TO RETURN TO CATCHING TS NEAR. Providence that year but returned to Philadelphia before the season ended. He was strictly a catcher in 1926 and 1927. Since that time he has done no| regular catheing, playing almost exclusively at first base. Occasion- al injuries to the regular third basemen forced him to fill in at| the hot corner now and then. | Cuts Batting Ability For the last six years he has neglected the catching phase of his baseball education. Now he is| going to try to pick up the loose | ends and begin again. | Foxx is without a doubt ‘one of | the most versatile players in base-‘v ‘bnlL so it is possible that he can | swing it. “If Connie is willing to try the experiment, I certainly am,” Foxx declared on his return from tour- ing the Orient with the major leaguers. There is at least one drawabck to the experiment. Foxx’s outstand- ing value to his team is his slug- ging. As a catcher he will be do- ing well, indeed, if he is able to play 100 games g season. How are tbe Athletics going to benefit by having their best slugger on the bench cne third of the season? There were only eight catchers in the major leagues last season who played in 100 or more games. They were equally divided, four in each league. Rick Ferrell, of the oston Red Sox, with 128 to his credit, topped the American leag- uers. The absence of Foxx’s big bat at various times is certain to woak-‘ en the club. Some surmise that| Connie Mack will overcome this loss by sending Jimmy to first rest from catching. Putting Big Shot on the Spot It appears sort of reckless w{ take such great chances with the team's big siege gun in a position where the hazard of injuries is ever presant.. ¢ _3i it Particularly it 1is going to be| dangerous in Foxx's case, where| lack of practice behind the bat for $0 long a period may have blunted his catching skill. Rusty as Foxx| is almost certain to be, it looks as| though Mack was inviting an in- Jury which might cost the Ath- letics their chances in the pennant race, Foxx is still regarded by many as a callow youth, yet 1935 will mark the 11th season he has spent in the A’s uniform.

HIM THE VEST! |GEORGE QUINTET [DEMOLAYS WIN [BOWLING PRIZES AWARDED LAST NIGHT TOELKS 27 Valuable Rewards Giv- en by City's Merchants to Lodge Pinsters The fact that Fred W. Chapman, District Deputy Grand Exalted Rul- er, was present, certainly was one feature of the combined business| and social meeting of Juneau's Elks last night at the Elks' Hall. But another feature, which at- tracted much attention, was the awarding of prizes in the recent three-league mixed bowling compe- tition, completed in December. The valuable merchandise prizes offered by public-spirited Juneau mer- chants, ranged from hams to foun- tain pens. Twenty-seven awards were made. The complete, official list of prizes, their donators and their winners. are as follows: Winners, A League Happy partment Store, Mrs. /Bert Caro; The lead changed hands no less|¥X cans fruit, California Grocery, than seven times. Never was one team ahead by more than six points. The losers led for 18 min- utes of the final half, only to have | victory snatched from them in the last frantic minutes of play. Those were some of the high spots of the tilt. But the story of that game never can be told in figures, and scarcely more so in words. You either were there, in the Douglas Nat, or you weren't. And if you were not there, you missed a ball game, brother, thrilling and courageous stand by the Firemen from Douglas. Spur- red on by a large and loyal crowd, the Douglas players played truly inspired ball. Never, this season, have they reached the heights of last night. The winners, on the other hand, were not “off” in their play. They gave everything they had, and admitted “they were lucky” to win. They were. It was a case of win, or lose al- most all chance for a City League title, for the Douglas club last night. They lost, but, man, how they did battle. The DeMolays jumped to a 6-0 lead in “the first’ few moments. Timeout was taken by Douglas, and that flurry was halted. The first quarter ended in favor of the Firemen, 10 to 8. The half-time score, with action travelling at a terrific elup, was 21 to 20 for the DeMolays. Then, in the third quarter, the losers made their bid for victory. When that period’s ending whistle was sounded, the Firemen led, 33 to 28. But, perhaps, that effort was too much. For, in the final ses- thrill spectators with a magnifi- cent drive, climaxed—with but two minutes to go—by Kinky Bayers' cripple shot, which put the Ju- neau team ahead for good, 44 to 42 Angus Gair, lanky Douglas cen- ter, was “on” to the tune of 17 points for high-point honors. Bay- ers, DeMolay ace, was right behind him with 15 markers. Defensively, Douglas Gray, Firemen guard, was the outstanding player on either team, Tuano Niemi, Douglas, was third high scorer, with 11 points. The Firemen were handicapped by the loss of John Niemi, forced to the side lines by a heavy chest cold. The summary: DEMOLAY (44) E. Lindstrom, f (c) Brandt, f ...
