Feature starts 7:50—10:00 ) ® CARTOON and NEWS BALL SEASON IS By RUSS NEWLAND (Associated Press Sports Writer) Baseball gets under way tomorrow « in the Pacific Coast League. The 48th season is just as tough to pick as those that have pre- ceded. Harry A. Williams, now the ¥ league secretary but then a Los An- geles baseball writer, missed out on the 1903 pennant prediction. He thought San Francisco, a city of 300,000 then, would win. Instead, Los Angeles, with a population of 30,000 at the time, snatched thes 4 Tlag going away. ! Training camp and exhibition game performances fail to offer a true indication of the merits of the various clubs. This coach now plunges into deep water. We pick Oakland, the 1948 champion, to come whooping home with the loot. Here are the 1950 Newland selec- tions: 10aighd 2—San Diego 3—Hollywood 4—Los Angeles 5—San Francisco 6—Seattle T—Sacramento 8—Portland Here is the way the race ended last year: Hollywood, Oakland, Sac- ramento, San Diego, Seattle, Port- land, San Francisco, Los Angeles. So far on the basis of help already received, San Diego temporarily shapes up as the most formidable club. The team has a terrific bat- ! ting punch in Jack Graham, who probably will play first base, and outfielders Max West and Hank Simpson. Graham led the league two 'years ago before being sold to the St. Louis Browns. Simpson, a young Negro, is a real power hitter. New Manager Del Baker has a swell looking outfit to start the sea- son. But my information indicates that Oakland will come up with some new pitching talent from the Yankees and other big league clubs that will give it the edge over a powerhouse like San Diego. Newcomers on the Seattle club include catcher Ray Lamanno and utility infielder Linus Frey, both formerly with Cincinnati; and Mark Christman, a third baseman from the Washington Senators. ‘The Seattle club has quantity but not much apparent quality. Paul Richards, pilot of Buffalo last year, is the new manager.

NCAA BASKETBALL RACE NEARING END NEW YORK, March 27—#—To- morrow night'’s battle for the NCAA basketball championship in Madison Square Garden will decide: 1. Whether Bradley or City Col—‘ lege of New York has the country’s best team. 2. Whether CCNY is great enough to win two national titles in the same year. It's a rematch of the two teams that played in the exciting National Invitation Tournament final here nine days ago. CCNY's rampaging sophomores, riding a late season surge, upset favored Bradley in that one, 69-61. Since then City College has woa the Eastern—178-73 over North Caro- lina State—and Bradley the West- ern NCAA title—68-66 over Baylor. This time the oddsmakers pick CCNY to repeat. They favor the Beavers by a slim 1% points. No team ever has won both tire National Invitation Tournament and the National Collegiate AA crowns in one season. HOSPITAL NOTES Carl Hagerup, Mrs. Eva Congdon, Elizabeth Nakamura, Alex Berar- dini, and Mrs. Basilio Untalasco were admitted to St. Ann's Hos- pital over the weekend. Mrs. John Dodge, Walter Bust,!

FIRST NATIONAL BANK of JUNEAU, ALASKA FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION SAFE DEPOSITS IN THIS BANK ARE INSURED COMEDY NOW AT CAPITOL THEATRE WITH STAR CAST Have you ever been a secretary? Are you planning to be a secretary? Do you employ a secretary? Well, if you don't, it doesn’t really mat- ter. You'll love “My Dear Secre- tary” anyway. The United 'Artists film which is | now at the Capitol Theatre, tells a slick, sophisticated, laughter-filled tale of a secretary—one in a long | line of secretaries—and her boss, an author whose inspiration runs as slowly as the proverbial molasses in January. There is also his chiet cook, bottle washer and one-man secretarial employment bureau whose metier is really cooking and whose hobby is eating. And there’s one of this particular secretary’s predecessors who has an unques- tionable talent for throwing mon- key-wrenches in the works. ‘Then, for the cherry on the sun- dae, there's a landlady who is hard- pressed for her rent and a book- shop owner and amateur critic who shares secretaries in common with the author. In the cast are Laraine Day, Kirk Douglas, Keenan Wynn, Helen Walker, Rudy Vallee and many others of screen prominence.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA JUNEAU BOWLERS ' GIVEN SCARE IN - SKAGWAY MEET Juneau Elks bowlers returned to Juneau from Skagway Sunday af- terncon with the hair on their in- dividual heads still straight up from the terrific score and fight put up by the Skagway Elks bowlers. The locals came back to Juneau two pins ahead in the tournament. The local players attest to the fighting spirit of Skagway bowlers and the fact that the Elks Lodge there should get behind their teams and give them greater support. The locals left Juneau Friday af- ternoon and played six games at Skagway that night. Three games were played Saturday forenoon and three games in the afternoon and at night everything went by the boards for the Purple Bubble dance given by the Elks that was some big event in itself, floor show, refresh- ments and with balloons everywhere and hot music for dancing. The double and singles matches were played Sunday afternoon, the latter cut short by the arrival of the Juneau plane. The Juneau Elks are loud in their praise for the great time given them by Skagway in general. Individual and team scores made 4 ‘| during the tourney are as follows: Skagway First Series L.
