Arriving here today with a three man coaching staif and seventeen players, the Sky Lounge sponsored | Anchorage club is well fortified with heavy stickers who are pres- ently enjoying the comfort of up- per 300 and lower 400 batting marks, and plans to field several players who have seen action in both the Stateside major and mi-| nor leagues. Indications of thej {visiting team’'s power is well rep- resented in the Anchorage league standings where a front row seat is new oceupled. On the other hand, Manager Mullaney of the Juneau club has currently been burning the late] hour candle when putting a finger | on a first game starting roster, which should prove a formidable aggregation in any league. When speaking of exercise for the op- posing outfield and balls for the creek, Mullaney proudly peints to the fact that his starting lineup for tonight's game will come from the dugout with a mound-wrecking average of .385. Not alone danger- ous to opposing hurlers, the nine big men to start have been out- standing pop-up hawks and line drive gophers throughout the sea- son. Mullaney adds that he plans to use as many league players as possible in the four-game series, and asks that all men on each of the four Juneau teams turn out in uniform for the games, which will extend through Sunday. Starting line-up and batting or- der for tonight's game follow: Anchorage Player-Position Elders, third base Gearino, first base Groller, shortstop Thomsen, second base Rifie, catcher Hintz, right field C.
