After almost freezing out Juneau earlier in the season on the First City Maple, the Ketchikan crew here for the return bouts in the inter-city kegling walked off the boards yes- terday with a definite edge in the Juneau sessions, too. The Ketchikaners came out of the week-long jousting here with wins in Hen's Singles, Ladies’ Singles and doubles and the Men's Team title. Local bowlers were consoling themselves with the Lad team and Men’s Doubles victories. After running neck and neck with the First City femmes through the first four rounds of their team tile, the local Tassies plucked an 83- pin edge in Sunday’s final session to finish going away by 91 mark- ers. The Elks men rollers too finished strongly. The men chopped another 43 pins Sunday off the Ketchikan lead, but still finished far in theruck, 360 pins back. At the end of the middle round. the Ketchikan lodgemen had held a 421-pin margin. Rolling in the singles spot for Ketchikan, Vern Stedman outcount- ed Erv Hagerup's 574 mark for Juneau, Steadman toppler one pin ketter than 600. In the women's singles, Ketchikan's Mae Pederson bested Juneau’s Gladys Waugh, 501 to 437, Claude Carnegie and Ed Radde combined for a win for Juneau in the men’s totals, hitting a total pin fall of 1,188. For Ketchikan, Cort Howard and Jack Maloca downed 1,097 Two Oaksmiths, Elza and Libby went to bat for Ketchikan in the ladies’ Doubles, against Florence Holmquist and Nadine Metcalf for Juneau. The Ketchikan pair fin- ished in front, 893 to 854.

ASHTON, Idaho, Feb. 18 —Nowa- days emphasis most always is placed jon speed. And such is the case in {the annual Ashton dog sled classic which will be revived February 22 after a three-year war blackout. | If you want a sled dog for work you'd probably pick the slow, strong* and dependable Huskies. But for racing, well that’s another story. Everett Hessman won the Ashton Dog Derby for three straight years and he's going to try and capture a fourth title this year. i Hessman, only three-time winner of the event, thinks highly of his | dogs—crossbred Irish Setters and Staghounds. He says the Staghound {blcod giveh his dogs size, endurance | and speed, while the Setter strain' provides the will to run. | Austin Neeley of Teton Basin is' considered as the most likely one | to give Hessman an argument—even | Hessman admits' that. The dog teams—twelve in all— wfll | race five times around the two-mile circular track. The plodding Huskies, | however, will be given a special | circle the Lrack only four times. B J,W.C.
