Chief strategist and “dugout” law- yer” Bob Tollefson, has listed a club that’s two-deep in almost ev- ery position. Now he’s looking up a precedent to permit him to play them all at once. Tentatively Man-| ager Tollefson has assigned posi-| tions as follows: Fred Henning, catcher; Delbert| Hanks, 1b; Eddie Nielson, 2b; Bar- ney Anderson, 3b; Earle Hunter, shortstop; Bud Phelps, shortfield; Herb Waugh, If; John Hermle, sf; “Doc” John Geyer, rf. Reserve Lions are: Frank Mar- shall, Frank Hermann, Mike Mon- agle, the Rev. Walter Soboleff, Don Foster, the Rev. Robert Treat, Walt | ‘Woodell, Bill Cady. Manager Tollefson is being very, very cagy about his hurling choice. “There ain’t none,” he reports. He figures to mix up opposing hitsmen | with a round-robin of twirlers that will make the center of the diamond | look like a squirrel cage (which, might not be far wrong, at that). ] All is set—the ingredients are; mixed—we hope what comes out locks like a ball game.

Die in Accident Lives of Two Prominent Alaskans Taken When CarPlunges Ino Creek A. A. Shonbeck and John Beaton, two well-known and prominent Alaskans, were killed last Wednes- day when an automobile in which they were riding overturned and fell into Gaines Creek at Ophir. They were on an inspection trip of mining property which they owned at the time. The bodies were recov- ered and flown back to Anchorage. Funeal services for Shonbeck were conducted Sunday at Anchor- age under the auspices of tne Elks. Services of the Christian Science Church were included. ~ Graveside rites were conducted by the EIks and burial was in the Elks plot. Active pallbearers were R. H. Ro- mig, D. W. Metzdorf, Raymond Wolfe, G. F. Mumford, E. E. Ras- musen and R. B. Atwood. Honorary pallbearers were Judge Capt. A. E. Lathrop of Fairbanks, L. W. Baker of Seattle, L. V. Ray Alaska. While this discovery looms large in his life’s work, Mr. Beaton was always recognized as one of Alaska’s placer leaders. He invested money in many prospects and en- couraged dozens of minérs to de- velop their ground. 1 In Mr. Shonbeck the territory lost jone of its foremost civic and busi- | ness leaders. Besides figuring in the {gold rushes of the early days, he | participated in the development of | Anchorage. As a business leader here he worked on numerous civic projects that helped make Anchor- |age the city it is today. But his interest widened with the years. Farming possibilities in the { Matanuska valley drew him to that section where he developed one of the finest farms that country has lever seen. His products figured |largely in the federal considerations :ihat led to the establishment of the ‘[urm project there in 1935. | Aviation, something new and mis- {understood in the early days, also {became of interest to him. He was a part of the first aviation firm (m ke organized in Anchorage. It |was because he invested funds to ' help make the firm operate that the | Anthony Dimond, Col. O. F.
