STANLEY HARRIS
IS YOUNGEST OF
PLAYING MGRS.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 9. (JP)—
Stanley Raymond (Ducky) Harris, 28
years old, lead his Washington Sen
ators into their second World Series
on Oct. 7 in Pittsburgh—a tribute to
youth and playing managers.
When Bucky captured the American
League flag in 1924 many close fol
lowers of the game were of the opin
ion that either the team carried Har
ris thru or that he was “lucky.” But
when the series for the world title
came, the youth matched wits with
one of the game’s oldest and most
renowned managers, John J. McGraw
of the New York Giants, and the
youth won.
Harris never has been a remarkable
player but there is something about
his leadership that attracts veteran
and recruit as. well as at all times J
he is prepared to receive and con
sider the advice of those who com
prise the backbone of his club—John
son, Peckinpaugh, Rice and Goslin.
Washington, however, may expect a
well turned afternoon always from
its second baseman. He is an ex
pert fielder and a dangerous bats
man, and has developed into one of
the best pivot men of baseball.
The Senator leader’s career began I
in Pittston, Pa., in 1915, at the age I
i of 18. He is a native of Port Jer
vis, N. Y. In 1916 Hughey Jennings
of Detroit gave the youngster a trial -
at Detroit. Within a month he went
to Scranton of the New York State
league, and thence to Muskegon, ;
Mich., where he played third base j
and had a Ibatting record of .166.
Norfolk, Va. had him in 1917, but j
on May 30 he became a member of
the Reading club in the International
league. He played 70 games and hit
.250. The following year found him
with Buffalo, playing shortstop and
second base in 85 contests and bat
ting .241. In 1919 with Buffalo he
became one of the International’s
best infielders and increased his hit
ting figures to .282. It was on Au
gust 5 of that year that the Senators
obtained him.
In 1921 arid 1922 Harris participat
ed in every game with the Senators,
hitting .289 and .269. In 1923 he had
an average ot' .282 and in 1924 his
mark was .268.
ALASKA APPLES
ARRIVE SEWARD
FROM HOPE FARM
ELMER E. CARSON AT HOPE, HAR
VESTING FIRST APPLE CROP
IN THIS DISTRICT.
The first apple crop of Southwest
ern Alaska is now being harvested,
according to some splendid speci
mens of transparents and crab ap
ples which were received in Seward
yesterday from Elmer E. Carson,
well known oldtime resident of Hope.
This makes the third crop which
has been taken off and in compari
son with those harvested fast fall,
are much larger, have a beautiful
luster and wonderful fragrance, and
are firm and light. The crab apples,
numbering twenty-four on a 'branch
fourteen inches in length, are mar
ve’ls in perfection.
The experiment of raising apples,
which Mr. Carson has been conduct
ing for some seasons,' has resulted
in the knowledge that with proper
cultivation, and little care, a good
eating apple can successfully be pro
duced. It is learned that Mr. Carson
anticipates planting an orchard "of
considerable size. An estimate given
as to this season’s crop is placed
at about two boxes to the tree.
Considerable sand and gravel ac
cumulated in the local water system
during the last few days of heavy rain
fall, blocking the flow of water to a
few residences. No serious trouble
has been encountered.
Charles R. Stahl, of Valdez, is a re
cent registrant at the Hotel Sexton.
J. A. Horton, well known citizen o
Anchorage, is one of the many local
Visitors.
