BASEBALL CO\IES TO JUNEAU After preliminaries, baseball is coming to Juneau for 1950 and the season promises to be an interesting one from player well as fan viewpoint. Stan Grummett, 33rd degree baseball player him- self, is the President of the formed Gastineau Chan- nel League, and Ernest Lincoln is to be his backer-up as Vice-President. John Morrison will be Secretary and will also represent the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department, owners of the baseball park. As announced, there will be four teams in the Jeague and incidentally playing days have been changed to Sundays, games to start at 2:30 o'clock in the after- noon, and Mondays and Thursdays, games to start at 6:30-0'clock in the evening. The four teams are the Moose, Elks, Coast Guard and Douglas. The managers have been announced as Gene Shepard, Moose; Bill Palmer, Elks; John Erbland, Coast Guard, and Red Holloway, Douglas. All good, up to the snuff managerial ability. In preliminary games, players have manifested their interest in the great American game and thg sport promises to be at high peak for the entire season. The first game, weather permitting, that doggone old phrase, will be ph)ed next Sunday afternoon with ¥ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—-JU'NEAU; ALASKA the Moose and Elks answering the call “Play Ball” at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon.

This league is also up and coming. And believe it or not, a Girls’ Soft Ball League is to be formed. The first meeting will be at 7 o’clock in Evergreen Bowl next Tuesday night, Memorial Day. Girls interested are asked to contact Pat Grove, Green 155. Let's all go and put baseball, hard or soft, over the top in Juneau for this 1950 season. ALFRED JULIAN LOMEN With the death last week in Seattle of Alfred Business man, political leader and northern ad- venturer, his influence through the many years he lived in Nome was great. He knew the north in the dog team days when his father was judge of the District Court in Nome. And he watched the change in the northern areas of the Territory from those dog team days to the present, with time and distances changed by aviation. All in the Lomen family were active in Alaska's development. Both Al and his brother Ralph served in the Territorial Legislature — not for their own aggrandizement or financial gain, but as a service to their town, the Second Division and the Territory in which they spent most of their lives. To Mrs. Lomen, who was also an Alaskan, to their five children, to his wonderful mother, widow of Judge Lomen, who survives her son and to his brothers and sister, Carl, Ralph, Harry and Mrs. F. Clinton (Helen) their hearts . Though Al Lomen is gone, memory of him will be a part of Alaska as long as lives a pioneer of the north. “The force of gravity is becoming weaker,” says ta physicist. We hope he’s mistaken. It's about all we can do now to hang on to this implausible world. It's a great pity that nearly all persons who g through high school and colleeg do so at an age whex they believe they already know virtually everything. Everybody talks about having to pay so much tax, but what does anybody do about it except pay it? It's a toss-up as to which is the more unbecoming : Under-filled sweater or over-filled slacks. | meaning The Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) tune.
