Fairbanks Sweeps Juneau Series •
A game but undermanned all star
baseball team from Juneau traveled
to Fairbanks last week end for a
tim e game series with civilian stars
of the Midnight Sun League in
what the capital city boys hoped
would be the “world series" of the
Territory.
After dropping both ends of a
double-header 17-0 and 13-4 Sun
day and losing the third game Mon
day evening 5-0, the 12-man Ju
nta u squad was convinced that Al
aska's “cream of the crop" when
it comes to the diamond sport were
tesiding in Fairbanks.
The local stars farmed out two
of their steadiest players to Juneau
for Monday's game, but even the
addition of pitcher Clarence Beers
and catcher Bob Bundy was not
enough to harness the Fairbanks
sluggers.
This three game sweep added to
the two series with Anchorage in
which the local stars came out on
top is convincing proof that the
finest calibre of baseball to be
found in Alaska is played right
here in Fairbanks,
Little Leaguers After Crown
Tile Fairbanks Little League All
Stars boarded the train Wednesday
iiiurning for Anchorage where they
will clash with all star teams from

The local lads are scheduled to
take the diamond Thursday after
noon in their first game.
Fourteen "stars of tomorrow”

the Bulldogs to the pennant here,

aska’s major cities as well as mili

Pony Pennant to SPortland
Sportland won the pony league
championship over the week end by
donning Ray's Super Market 8-7
and 12-8 in a best two of three j
game series.
The first half champs displayed
clutch hitting and some flawless
fielding to knock off Ray’s in two
Straight games.
Currently a playoff is underway
between the military and civilian
all stars of the league. This series
will officially wind up pony league
play for the season.
Colin Does Well
Fairbanks' representative at the
19th annual All-American Soap Box
Derby Colin Kelly, placed a close
second in his first elimination lap
during Sunday’s events at Derby

Cole Young Memorial Winners
Rex Manchester piloted his roar
ing hydro over a treacherous 26
~ mile course for the best time of tfie
day in Sunday's Cole Young Mem
orial race.
Clocked in 36 minutes 15 seconds,
Manchester took first place in the
hydro Class. Other winners were
Jim McCord, Gil Ketzler and Sig
Bredlie in the pleasure boat, river
boat, and D utility classes respec- *
lively.
The hazardous course from the
Old Chena bridge to the Tanana
and back took its toll as Mike Do
zette flipped and Harvey Stryken!
swamped his boat. Many of the out
boarders had to stop on the return 1
trip to bail their boats before con-1
tinuing the race.
Most of the trouble was attributed
to the swift rising water of the
Chena, floating logs and debris, and
the wake of the riverboat Discov
*. ery.
Sunday's race ended an active

R estrict i ve Deed
Does Not Require
Rezoning Of Area
An item in the minutes of the
Planning and Zoning Commission,
brought before the city council
Monday evening started a round of
discussion: If a rezoning change
was implied in the sale of land by
the city to Hubert Rumph and Ron
ald Tvvogood for a bowling alley
on Airport Road, official notice will .
have to be filed and a public hear

ignated, it must conform to the zon
ing of the area, restricted residen
tial.
