THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JAN. 19, 1937. -~ THIS DOCTOR 1S CERTAIN- LY LIBERAL WITH OTHER IME-IF HEDON'T T 1Y SOON- PEOPLE'S Tl SEE M- PRE 'M GOING HOME - YANKS ONLY BIG LEAGUE CLUB IN 600D SHAPE NOW Many More Player Deals Due to Round Out Major Ball Aggregations NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—The stov league season is well under way with fans trying to figure how their pet teams have been strengihened —if at all. There must be more trades for some clubs simply dare net start son wieh what they have the Yankees is the only can afford to stand pat only be to deal with them. ‘The Giants plu a hole at third base when they landed Chiozza from the Phillies but they need a caicher ard another first string pitcher and may need a first base man Lonnie Frey will be a help to the Cubs but they still are in the mar- ket for a right hand hitter in the outfield and another pitcher. Add Inficiders The Cerds mus’ come up at least two morc infielders of rec- ognized c and an outfielde: The Pirates added strength landing Dutch Brandt and Lee Handley but their outfield hollers for a right hand hitter. They also could use a good pitcher The Reds could use more punch in their outfield and they could use a third baseman. The Dodgers strengthened second base by smaring: Lavagetto and Eng- lish and may have helped their pitching by getting Henshaw and Birkofer. Grimes will do all right with his pitching but he needs thrae classy outfielders and a reserve in- fielder. He probably will make good deal for Van Mungo. The Braves and Phils have little and something less than that to offer in trade, They must build with whatever young fellows they can pick up. In the other league, the Yanks need only some second base insur- ance in case Tony Lazzeri is un. able to go the route. Needs A Catcher ‘The Indians must have a catcher. They want to get rid of Vosmik and are willing to part with Pylak and Hildebrand. If they can land Hemsley they will be set. Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox has been trying to peddle White- head. The Tigers also need a pitcher and perhaps an outfielder. The Red Sox need pitching and ! punch in the outfield. They gave Werber for Higgins but it is_ prob- able this trade added more tem- perament than more sfrength to a club already overstocked with it. The Senators need very little to put them right in the pennant pic- ture. Another topnotch pitcher and a star outfielder could turn the trick. The A’s and Browns are sure to be better if only because they could hardly be worse. 1Daily S ports Ca PoN B THE NUMBER OME MAN OF AMATEUR RUNYO MAYOR'S POST NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. 19.—Henceforth it is Hizzoner Da- mon Runyon, mayor of the borough of Sunny Isles, North Miami Beach.

In fact, the league has had only three different leaders in the past six years, Eckhardt topping the parade four times in five years Frank Demaree breaking his string in 1934, only to have the Mission outfielder come back in 1935. Last summer it was Joe Marty who supplanted Eckhardt, who moved to the American Associa- tion. Johnny Gill, the new Seal out- fielder; Johnny Frederick, of Port- land; Johnny Bassler, Seattle’s catcher, who finished second in 1936; “Moose” Clabaugh, another Port- land entry; Harry Rosenberg, Mis- \sion flychaser, and Harlan Pool, ;the barrel-chested Oakland cloute: {can be expected to be up there or | thereabouts. — e — ALASKA JUNEAU EMPLOYEES Until Tuesday, January 26, there will be no meeting held in the Moose Hall for the employees of the Alaska Juneau.

Not only did Tubbs best par with his 605 total, but he had able support from John Walmer and Mrs. Art Bringdale as Manhattan took the deciding game from M.LT. Mrs BErindgdale was tops for the night among the ladies with her 450. But, Syracuse closed its season steeped in gloom, not being able to stand up before Dartmouth as the Hanoverians, led by Dr. A. W. Stewart, captured two of the three games of the opening match. Dr. Stewart not only placed second to Tubbs in the total column with 572, but rolled up the top single game of the evening, 214, bettering Tubbs' best line by three pins.

INTERIOR DOC TO IS IN JUNEAU FOR SHORT TIME SUNDAY Arriving in Juneau Sunday with Noel Wein from Fairbanks, was Dr. C. D. Carter, of Bethel. He continued on south to Prince Rupert yesterday with Pilot Sheldon Sim- mons. | Dr. Carter declared that though| all mining ngar Bethel is now nec-' sarily stopped by winter, the past season has been prosperous, and the outlook is excellent for next year. | The indications also point to a rather good fur season, he said. The strike at Good News Bay sent many prospectors through Bethel lately, he said, but now the rush' is about over. “There is now really | no ground left to stake, or stakes there with which to stake it,” he declared. wiing season in a blaze| 170— 527 183— 536 amateur ranks, 100— 300, fathers look forward to Davis cup 45 competition with considerable opti- ~—— mism.

The Califor- nia red-head is entitled to the top ‘1 pot. But it does seem that the | powers-that-be did not do right by len Hull Jacobs when they iropped her into second position sehind Alice Marble, her sister Cali- (fornian who defeated Miss Jacobs the final of the women's national les tournament. Unless the national singles cham- { picnship automatically carries No 1 king with it, Miss Jacobs’ s | porter ave reason to squawk. Mi Marble's victory over Miss Jacobs was one of the outstanding upsets (of the tennis season. Miss Jacobs had returned a few weeks previous from her triumph at Wimbledon, | where she had won what is gener- ally considered the world’s title. She beasted a victory over Miss Marble in three sets in the finals of the Essex club singles at Manchester- by-the-Sea. All of this is not to detract from Miss Marble’s amazing comeback after a 2-year layoff. Starting the season none too well she gradually | regained her form and arrived at| (the peak of her game for the na- 'tional tournament. She is young and has a very fine athletic tempera- ment. The illness which forced her‘ to the sidelines seems to have been ! conquered. Some of her more en- | | thusiastic supporters look for her |to take the Wimbledon title from | Miss Jacobs next summer. Our Chance For Davis Cup Now that Fred Perry has deserted the U. S. tennis i ze is {Don Budge is on our side. They fi- tests. Naturally, Budge is destined to be | the American mainstay in the inter- inational matches. It is very likely that he will be pointed for the |doubles, with Gene Mako as his {partner, as well as for the singles, Budge and Mako routed the old | champions, Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn, in taking the rational | doubles crown. There is little possi- 1bility that Allison and Van Ryn {will even rate serious consideration as candidates for places on the 1937 |Davis cup team. Youth will most }llkvly take all the available posts. Grant To Return? Bitsy Grant hasn't completely given up hope of playing an active part in the Davis cup matches and Imay yet succeed. Another veteran {who has shown great progress in staging a comeback on the coast is Sidney Wood. The tall blond, who jonce held the Wimbledon title, is |playing serious tennis and when Wood plays the game the way he is capable of playing it, he must be considered a possibility for the squad. Frankie Parker, ranked No. 2 for 11936, has definitely decided to fur- ither his tennis education and has dropped out of school to compete Iln the big winter and spring tour- (naments. Frankie has been concen- trating on trynig to perfect his fore- refuge, apparently knowing that there. By HAL BOYLE ELLINWOOD, Kas, Jan. 18.— Three pintail ducks that swam to- gether on the placid waters of a smail lake near here in the spring of 1928 were shot that fall—on or near three different oceans. They were three of some 11,000 ducks banded by Frank W. Robl, a deputy game warden, since he es- tablished his migratory bird refuge here in 1924 One duck was shot in South Caro- lina cn the Atlantic seaboard. The second was killed near San Diego, Cal, on the shores 'of the Pacific. The third was brought down near Deering, Alaska, on the Arctic ocean, Flying fron their raeedng point in central Kansas the three ducks had reached extremes of a triangle the sides of which were 3,000 miles, 4,000 miles and 6,000 miles respec- tively. He Feeds 'Em This is only one of many curiovs facts discovered by Robl in his hobby of charting the migratory habits of waterfowl. He bands the birds for pastime and buys them feed out of his own pocket. The 3'%-acre tract of lakes and wind- breaks on his farm annually is a haven, a sort of crossroads of the Canadian goose family seldom wanders from the Robl game food and protection are provided skyw for thousands of wayfar- ing ducks. To band the birds Robl first catches them in wire netting traps into which they are lured by feed. A metal cylinder or band, supplied by the U. S. biological survey, is then fastened on the leg just above | the foot. On each band is stamped a number wilh the request that the hunter report his kill to the biologi- | cal survey. Drakes More Plentiful Ducks banded by Robl have been taken in 28 of “the United | States, 15 Mexican states, eight | Canadian provinces, Alaska, Cuba | and Honduras, Central America, and ;thl‘ Island of Trinidad off the coast |of Venezuela, South America, 1922 | miles from the Florida mainland. Robl's records disclose that in | nearly all species of ducks the drakes far outnumber the females, In one year he banded 62 male and |34 female pintails, 206 male and 84 | female blue-winged teal and 42 male jand 10 female green-winged teal. A mallard duck carried one of |Robl's bands for the longest time jon record — six years and eight months. The shortest life after re- lease was five minutes. On March 15, 1931, a mallard was banded and liberated. A prairie eagle swooped down and killed it a quarter of n mile from the refuge. SKI CLUB T0 GIVE AFFAIR ON SKTURDAY First Event of Organization Plans have been completed for the First Annual Ski Club dance which lis to be held ai the Eiks ballrcom naxt Saturday night.

Master of Ceremonies Norman Banfield will have several enter- taining features to show during the intermission. There has been con- siderable talk of the ski race which may be pulled to discover the most promising slip artist to represent Juneau at the Olympic Games in Japan in 1940. Clarence Rands has promised something special in the way of mu- sic. There will be numbers for those who do not get enough exercise skiing and numbers for those who prefer the good old dreamy waltz.

Mercer Beas {ley’s pupil is determined to make spirited bid for the other single berth on the Davis cup spuad. There are several other young- |sters who may come along fast an | prove of some help to Budge in | the international tests. Fellows likc | Bobby Riggs, Joe Hunt and Arthur |Hendrix have no experience in in- |ternational competition but they | have shown flashes of form that in- idlcave they are real prospects and, |since the Davis cup committee jseems determined to build for fu- | ture triumphs, they are likely to gev ‘every possible chance to further their development.

Not only do both of them get a big league trial—Posedel with Cincinnati and Brucker with the Athletics—but they did a pair of real baseball comebacks. * Brucker, wio had a trial with Seattle ten years back, was nearly ruined when hit by a bean ball. Sent to the Western League, he stayed in that Class B circuit for a decade until Portland brought him back to the Pacific Coast League. And what a year he had! Posedel was with the Beavers sev- eral years ago and was shunted to the Western League where he lin- gered for a time and also spent a year or so in the Texas loop. Then brought back, he won twenty games for the Beavers. Smart baseball men expect both comebacks to have better than an {even chance of sticking in the big show. the numerous parties that have ibeen planned for the evening pre- ceding the dance, the committee in charge wishes to announce that dancing will start at 9:30 o'clock. el . | C.
