For two years now, the Moose have barely emerged as league champs after season-long battles with the Islanders. In both the last two years each of the rivals has captured one half of the split season’s play and it has de- pended on the “Little World Series” playoffs to decide the title. For tomorrow's battle, which is way about 4:30 o'clock. following the parade and opening ceremonies at Fire- men’s Park, the Islanders have their top hurler, Claude Erskine, set and ready to go. He will have as batterymate a newcomer to the league, Rex Pinckley, who flashed on the basketball court during the winter months as a member of the DeMolay squad. Just who will take the mound for the Moose is a question not yet decided between southpaw Johnny Smith and lanky Bill Kimball.

The Moose are due to be con- siderably handicapped in Sunday's pall game by the temporary ab- sence of third-sacker Joe Werner and by the fact that centerfielder Hilding Haglund has not yet ar- rived in town from the States where he is attending school at Whitman College. The Moose may also be without the service of heavy-clouting Tom Martin, who has been ailing for the past few days.

THEY By CLIFF STERRETT : ONE WOT v Quvitchboard Girls Keep ‘Plugging Away’ All Day If you should doubt that Juneau is metropolitan, ask Mrs. Anna Wehster to show you the Juneau- Douglas Telephone switchboard. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, two )f the five telephone operators, Bes- sie and Winifred Oberg, sat before the recently installed automatic switchboard. Both girls had a constant fistful of rubber cables in either hand, pulling plugs and plugging them in again, being sweet to impatient tele~ phone users for whom the speed of 2lectricity is not fast enough, and ‘alking easily to a reporter. Interesting highlights of that lit- ‘le excursion were: two girls were susier than usual, because the third girl who usually is on shift, was having her day off; in the amazing array of brass-rimmed holes on the board before the girls, there are 869 of those holes, representing about one thousand phone lines, the greater number of which are four- party connections, Busiest hours, the girls said, are from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., from 1 p.m. to 2 pm, and from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Busiest single phone line in town is that of the Royal Blue Cab Company, and perhaps second busi- est, are those of the Gastineau Ho- tel, and the Daily Alaska Empire.

After that introduction to the! back side of the telephone on the wall, the reporter knew as he went out the door that he had made a tardy resolution: Never to bark at “Central.” > TO PETERSBURG Mrs. Wes Overby sailed aboard the motorship Northland to Peters- burg, where she plans to meet her husband who is coming north on the steamer Alaska, which is due here Tuesday. +- 'l" | HosPiITAL NoTEs | *- -+ Pete Schnider, has been admitted to St care.
