Allen, a natural. athlete, always was on the “manager’s” side as an active player. He knew the bene- fits of proper training, and he al- ways observed the rules. ‘The first time I ever saw him was at the Pclo Grounds one day in a game between the Cards and the Giants. The game had rocked aleng for six or seven innings in cne of those blistering scoreless duels and Allen finally steppsd up to the plate and drove a low, hard smash to deep center for an in-the-park home run. Ordinarily Bill Terry, the Giant manager, would have been down- cast at such an abrupt turn in the game, but as Allen circled the bases I will swear that a smile lit up his face. I could see him standing in front of the dugout. The Cards were wild. They ga- thered at the plate to congratulate the flying Allen, who beat the throw and scored the tie-breaking run. But just at that moment Terry ran out and said something to the umpire. That dusty and harassed THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JAN. 16, 1940.

At top, workmen lay out a supply of warheads, the torpedo compartments which contain the high explosive, usually 500 pounds of TNT. Bottom, the torpedo head is filled with water preparatory to a test. , individual hastily perused a slip of paper and then walked over to the Card bench. “The run doesn't count,” he boomed, “and Allen's out..! The Cards were stunned. The Giants were howling like maniaes in their exultation. Here is what had happened: Allen had batted out of turn, and when vou bat out of turn, you are autcmatically out. Terry said later he was a nervous wreck, 50 afraid was he that somebody would notice that Allen was batting out of turn before he had taken a cut at the ball. As for the Cards, thev gave vent r displeasure by seizing their and banging them in impotent rage inst the dugout steps.

With her two brothers, she had her first look at civilization here recently. The three had never been out of British Columbia's wild Carlboo Trail country be- fore. ; Taken to her first dance, May, |an expert horsewoman and rifle shot, later confessed, “Meeting a |cougar on the trail takes much less courage than going to a dance. I just trembled all over.” May, with her brothers, Jack, 18, and Leonard, 13, gaped and gasped as they toured Belling- ham. The youngsters got the most |enjoyment out of riding in ele- vators. Invariably when the ele- vator stopped they'd ask the op- erator: - “Did -we go up or down, that time?” The Larsens live at' Roe Lake, 350 miles north of ‘' here in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Their father " operates a hunting and fishing resort CASE SIGNS WITH SENATORS FOR '40 WASHINGTON, Jan, 16. — Out- fielder George Case became the first” member of the Nats to sign for the new baseball season, Presi- dent Clark Griffith said he re- ceived a ‘“substantial raise.” Case wrote from his home at Trenton, N.
