ROUNDUP
—
(By Hugh Fullerton, Jr.)
NEW YORK, (/P) — The best
rookie first baseman in the Yankee
organization, says one observer
who should know something about
both the Yanks and rookies, is
Newark’s Joe Collins. . . . That’s
an interesting point because
George McQuinn isn’t likely to
have another season like this one
with the Yanks. . . . Collins was
optioned out to Birmingham and
hit .366. Since rejoining the Bears
he’s been batting above .350. . . .
“He can run and throw and has
good power.” Our informant adds
. . . Strangely, this observer, in
listing bright International league!
prospects, didn’t mention pitcher |
Sheldon Jones, whom the Giants!
just recalled from Jersey City.
Two-sentence boxing lesson—
from Garney Ross during the Les
nevich-Mauriello fuss: “When you1
got a guy hurt, you got to hit him;
in the body. That’s when you got
to bring his hands down.” . . .
Further comment from fight man
ager Chris Dundee: “Mauriello
has no condition. He tried to do ini
five weeks what he should take
the whole year to do.”
From Alpine, Tex., a town of j
4,000 population, comes the story
of a rancher who dreamed of hav
ing a baseball park and made his
dream come true. . . . Herbert Ko
kernot, Jr., who played some col
lege ball, financed the 1.000 seat
stadium himself, saw that every
comfort and convenience was pro
vided and then assembled a scmi
pro team that likely will wind up
in the national tourney at Wichita,
Kas. . . . Probably he’s just wait
ing for someone to ask: “Do you
think you own the park?”
ANYBODY'S COAT IN STORM
PORTLAND. Ode. (A>) — While
Lester A. Meyer, special agent for
the Northern Pacific Terminal
company, presented a case before

Axe Slayer
Capture After
Eleven Days
FAIRBANKS, (^-Heavily
bearded after 11 days in the wil
derness on a diet of berries, birds
and porcupines, Leon Winfield
Jones, 43, heard with outward
calm Friday the murder charges
against him for the ax slayings of
two men at an Indian camp July
20.
Caught Friday in Alaska’s most
extensive modern manhunt, he
stood uncommunicative as the
charges were read before U. S.
commissioner Everett E. Smith. A
preliminary hearing was set for
Tuesday.
The Big Delta military project
carpenter was captured Friday as
he strolled on the Alaska Highway
10 miles from where Donald R.
Harris, 33, and Carl Ahnstrom, 68
year-old trapper and prosector,
were bashed to death with an ax
after an Indian camp drinking
party.
Special deputy Bill Gough, one
of the many volunteers in the
J widespread manhunt, said Jones
i submitted without resistance after
j Gough recognized arm tattoos
through a torn sleeve and gold
teeth as shown in a widely dis
tributed photograph.
He was carrying a .22 caliber
rifle. He also was carrying part
of a porcupine in a blanket over
his shoulder.
Jones has worked on Alaska
construction jobs for four months
since coming north from Vancou
ver, Wash., where his wife and
four children reside.
D. A. NOONAN STATES
HE'S NOT RETIRING
D. A. Noonan, veteran manufac
turer’s reporsentative for several
lines of men’s apparel, who has
traveled through the Territory for
many years spent the week end in
Nome on business. Dan states that
the reports that he is retiring are
erroneous. He has taken Ed Sei
nenverg in with him and they will
both serve the Territory.

good batter, but much better in
the field, Spencer will undoubted-1

Kodiak.
Another fairly quiet week has j
passed by in Hq. Det. Three empty
bunks tell us that Cpls. Fiscus,
Prigg and Siler are off to Kodiak
with the Post Team. Seven ex

from our group chaplain, Capt.
Hanan, who is looking about for
a few days to meet some of his
charges at Nome Army Air Base
Detachment of AACS. Meet also i
Pfc. Charles J. Klenklen, one of
our teletype operators and also!
our traffic checker. Klen is from

They are: Pfc. Alfred Belue (what
a handle for such a small fellow*
to corporal; Pvts. Gayle W. Tuck
and J. D. Rogers to privates first
class. Last Sunday morning every
one had breakfast in bed. It seems
that Sgt. Massey had the origin
idea and Cpl_ Belue had to pay
for it.
Pfc. James Price of the 761st
MP Det returned this week from
Anchorage where he had a very
enjoyable time attending the Alas
kan Horseshoe Tournament. The
other day Cpl. Anderson found cut
that he definitely isn’t a mountain
climber. Apparently he still hasn’t
gotten over his little excursion as
he is still complaining about some
very sore leg muscles.

So Light It Floats!
PORT ALLEGANY, PA.—Far from an Amazon, comely Betty
Robinson holds up two blocks of feather-light Foamglas with the
greatest of ease. Although these four inches of the new cellular glass
insulation are equal in insulating value to over ten feet of solid con
crete, it is the only glass in the world that floats. Made by “baking”
in ovens, it is water, vermin, rat and fire-proof. It has wide potential
uses in homes, feed mills, factories and other places.
