In spite of his fine physique and handsome features, many people think of The Great Mails not as a creature of flesh and blood but as just a great, booming voice. His utterances are loud and they are frequent, and they are directed to just two ends Two Main Purposes 1—To glorify the San Francisco Seals baseball club. for which he! is public relations man. 2—To stimulate the buildnig of playgrounds as the best means of CARD PARTY UNION HALL--MARCH 15 8:00 P.

MAILS SOUNDS OFF; BUILD PLAYGROUNDS, | CURB CRIME. When the Seals are on the home grounds, Mails calls the plays over the loudspeaker and clowns for the appreciative fans. He has been on the diamond in more costumes than you'd see at an artists’ ball, and he can make even o baseball uniform look funny { Intimates know that the ex- pitcher is a smart and serious man, but the clown reputation is hard to shake off. When he ran for sheriff in 1938 he was beaten. Surroundings Influence Him Mails' interest in crime preven- tion is due largely to his residence just outside San Quentin, the coun- try’s largest prison. His mother is San Quentin village postmistress. “If all the kids liveu where I do, {they’'d know the greatest thing in |life was freedom,” says Mails. | Though his clowning and volu- | bility subject him to much kidding in the sports pages, and irrifable editors go erazy when his voice re- verberates through the office, Wai- ter is universally liked and respect- ed. i He was an apparent hopeless crip- ple until he was 9. He developed 'his athletic prowess by his own pluck. Achieving little baseball | success at St. Mary's college, he de- veloped himself later in the semi- pros. | Already famous as “Dusty” Malils, he interrupted his playing career to serve two years as machine gun- ner in the World War, and with his playing days over he has turned adviser and friend to countless rook- ies. His press releases—usually de- livered vocally and in no under- tone—are cordially received. Sports writers know nobody can use the Mails to defraud. { ——.————— HELP AN ALASKAN Telephene 713 or write The Alaska Territorial Employment Service MACHINIST-CANNERY MAIN- TENANCE — Age 35, high school education.

A group of former fighters re- cently incorporated an organization similar to that now existing for former baseball players. Eddle Pinkham, two decade ago one of the best lightwights on the Pacific Coast, is pushing the pro- pesal. His group would set dues to be collected from active and re- tired fighters, the money going to help those ringmen in distress. Pinkman and his associates also are flirting with an idea of regis- tering fighters in such a manner that those not in shape to [ight will be kept off cards. “This will not only be a protec- tion to the fighter, but also to the promoter and the customers,” Pinkman says, ——— Two Frosh Senators Show Varsity Boys Some Latest Tricks rom Page One) (Continue~ of which he what surprising eign affairs.

Azad smiled as a detective-in- spector quoted him as saying after the killing, ‘I did not mean to kill him. I just did it to protest.” Azad waived questioning and his hearing was postponed a week. The assassination overshadowed war news on front pages and ground one editorial hint that the action might start an outbreak of “Indian terrorism” in Great Britain.
