night in the first game of the
All-Alaska High School basketball
championships. The second game
of the series will be played tonight.
Juneau jumped into a 7-1 lead

out in front after this first two
minutes of go in the first quarter.
There was no stopping them from
there on.

After the first half during most
of which the Bears were way below

the fanciest shooting exhibitions
even seen in Anchorage. Ninnis
tossed in six field goals in the
third quarter, five of which were
long ones.
Juneau closed the gap to 15 j
points twice in the second half.
The closest that Juneua got to the !
Anchorage Eagles was in this hall.

was Roger Carmen with 22 points!
while Fr£d Fultz had 20. Ninnis
led the bears with 21, Martin had
17 while Carlson and Engstrcm
had nine each and Dave Graves
had one.
The Juneau High School Crimson

plane trip yesterday to Anchorage
by nervous play and not being up
to tffeir normal game.

CHANDLER
TO RESIGN
MAIMI BEACH, Fla., March 13 —
UP>— Baseball Commissioner Albert
B. (Happy) Chandler will resign his
post within the next six months re
gardless of whether his successor is
elected, it was learned today.
A close friend of the commission
er told the Associated Press that
Chandler has debated the idea ol
quitting immediately after his repu
diation by the major league own
ers yesterday but was advised
against it.
As was the case in St. Petersburg
three months ago, the magnates
voted not to reelect Chandler to a
new term. In a written secret ballot,
nine owners voted for Chandler and
seven voted against him. He needed
12 for re-election. The former Ken
tucky senator’s seven year contrac;
ends April 30, 1952.
"Happy knew he was licked Sun
day after a talk with Clark Grif
fith of Washington, his staunchest
supporter,” the Chandler intimate
said
The crestfallen Chandler was
meek and mellow yesterday in sharp
contrast to his attitude at St. Pet
ersburg when he was bitter and
battling and vowed he’d serve out
his term to the last second. This
time he said he would do anything
the club owners wanted him to do,
and that he would make it as easy
as possible for them to elect a new
commissioner.

Another Reason Why
You’ll Prefer Budweiser
^H
V '
America grows very fine hops. The choicest of them
go to Budweiser at premium prices. But, imported
blossoms have certain qualities that only the soil
and climate of Europe can produce. In one year, 40
percent of all imported blossoms went to Budweiser.
The blending of finest hops from two continents is
one big reason for the distinctive taste and bouquet
of Budweiser.
