ALEUTIAN — JULY 13 ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY Serving All Alaska and Thrills | 0 00 | ¢ APYTOL THEATRE IS NOW SHOWING "THE LONG NIGHT' An unusual romantic triangle which involves a girl with a forth- right young steelworker and an older man of satanic charm is at the Capitol Theatre. The feature is “The Long Night.” Co-starring Henry Fonda, Barba- ra Bel Geddes, Vincent Price and Ann Dvorak, this RKO Radio re- lease is based upon a highly emo-! tional story of romance conflict, murder and tumult. The picture introduces to the screen the noted stage star, Barbara Bel Geddes, who won the Broadway critics’ plaudits for her performance in the hit play “Deep Are the Roots.” Henry Fonda's role in “The Long! Night” is somewhat different from come of his most recent roles, in that his portrayal is a tortured and deeply romantic performance. Robert and Raymond Hakim pro- duced “The Long Night.” The film employs a cast of more than one thousand players for spectacular scenes of police besieging a tene- ment in which the hero defies ar- rest for a killing that he believes is| morally justified in defense of his sweetheart. Tomorrow night, for the week- end, there will be a double bill, “The Blind Spot” and “Genius at Work,” LOCAL BALL FANS GET RARE DISPLAY OF SPORTSMANSHIP Sitka Cakh—er_PIays Two | Hot Games with One Eye Closed It has often been repeated that {to be a master in any field, one ymust first have your heart in jthat field and ability develops !from there. Juneauites had an { opportunity to witness both in un- | excelled form during the Sitka-All- { Star baseball games held here dur- ing the 4th of July holidays. | When just a few innings in the first game Sunday, McClain, the | Sitka third baseman was at the ‘plate and waiting for the pitch. Swinging hard at an inside pitch, the ball deflected from the bat handle and caught McClain hard | just below the eye. | A deep ‘gash was inflicted below his leit eye when his glasses broke, the side of his face was badly {swollen, and the eye was com- pletely closed from the force of the lLuII. Needless to say, McClain {was through for the day. Play- ers and spectators were greatly re- lieved to learn that the broken |glass had not penetrated his eye. { The following day, when Sitka 'and the All-Stars took the field fror a doubleheader and the last of the series, “spectators doubted [their eyes when spotting what ap- peared to be McClain manning the ! third sack for Sitka. Surprising jenough it was McClain. He had taken the field to play two fast all the way. Any doubt that Mc- Clain was incapable of working third base due to his injured eye |was soon removed. During the first game he was credited with four clean putoutsiamd two assists. What about his batting . . . that was an easy one to solve. True, he couldn’t bat right-handed due to his completely closed left eye, so he did the next best thing . . . he took the plate as a left-handed batter. And despite the handicap, he did very well when he stepped up the first time and swatted out the day’s only two-base hit, deep into left field, Fans were completely satisfie& that McClain was permitting a gashed, swollen and tightly closed eye to hinder his play but little, and then came the crowning blow. When the two teams came out for the second game, spectators were again rocked on their heels when what appeared to be McClain step- ped behind the plate with mask on and mitt in hand. Again it was he. With glasses on and one eye closed he was set to catch the unusually fast-ball pitching of Robison. Did he catch the game? He caught the full seven innings . and without an error! If ever an example of loving the game was seen, it was in Juneau during the Fourth of July series, , ———— CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our heart- felt thanks to the many people who were of assistance to us when our home was threatened by fire Tuesday night and especially to the Forest Service crew and the boys and girls of the Minfield Home and to Einar Jackson and Bill Spaulding, who did great work in keeping the fire from spreading to our home.

The hot-shots from the Junior cireuit, 2-1, winners at Wrigley Field in Chicago last year, will be slugging for their 11th decision over the Na-| tional Leaguers, i Nager Bucky Harris rounded out his 25-player American roster by nominating ‘eight pitchers and nine | replacements for the starters named | at the other eight positions in a nation-wide poll of fans. | The National League's squad was marshalled to full battle size yesle:'-} day by Manager Leo Durocher, who { elected only six pitchers—two under ; par for the All-Star course. Brooklyn ' Lippy took up the slack by picking four third basemen instead of the, customery pair. Pilot Harris' own New York Yan- kees grabbed the most American All-Star berths, six, including pit-| chers Vic Raschi and Joe Page, the perennial reliefer. LEADERS IN B. B.
