Lou Gehrig's Mark (By Associated Press) Hank Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers is taking his big bat in hand trying his hardest to make things interesting during the dying mo- ments of the Major League base- ball season. ‘The point at issue is whether the Detreoit dynamiter can equal or break Lou Gehrig's American League record of 184 runs batted in during one season, the 1931 mark. Hank has a total of 179 runs bat- ted in with two more games left to equal or break the.record and if he can keep up Friday's pace of six, Gehrig’'s mark is gone, although Hank would still fall short of the all-time Major League high of 190 made by Hank Wilson of the Chi- Greenberg clouted out two hemer: yesterday and each time two men were on bases which he added to a WAR APMICAL Dov BupsE Do NOT WEAKEN EVEN (U WHEN BARON VON CRoAMM S = TOOK THE FIRST TWO THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, OCT. 2, 1937.

He is worshipped by the Igrowing boys of Juneau who have BB guns or 22's that get bewilder- jingly out of order. He is Mort Truesdell, gunsmith. Fifty years ago, Mort Truesdell, a strapping young man with a love for guns and uncanny understand- ing of their innermost working se- |crets, started a gun store.

There is a double-barreled Colt rifle in a rack that is singular in its niche of fame. for it is one of three such guns in existence. A 45-70, beautiful tnree-ply Da- mascus steel-barreled gun with stock, it was a somewhere around 1873, made for Connie Colt, the elder Colt's son. It is as per- fect now as it was when it was made. The Colt firearms people want to buy it. They do not have one. Many wealthy gun collectors have felt insulted because their money would not buy it Mort | Truesdell will not sell it There are dozen of guns with stories behind them. There is an old flintlock rifle in an antler rack that was a Hudson Bay gun in this part of the country, long and clumsy looking, but according to Mort, in use by many of the In- dians here as late as World War, days. Two rusty guns in another rack are old Spencer rifles, made at the close of the Civil War. One was found under ten feet of earth and trash in excavating for the new light company building. Another was found in a cave at the head of Hoonah Sound in 1924 with an ancient powder and ball revolver. A man’s decaying bones lay besids them. s With the crispness of approach- ing winter in the air, the sound of whispering wings over tidal flats and the stamp and snort of buck deer in the forest, Mort Trues- dell's little gun store is the busiest place in Juneau. the Baltimore Bar: “An explana- don that is satisfactory to all friends but not quite satisfactory to critics.” United States Senator Edward R.
