cials.
A lot of new timber will be in
v rerce on all teams with the
s-:bie exception of the Alas
kans who appear to have all of
their old payers on the floor
during their practices. Of the
other three teams the Nome ag
gregation is most unknown quan

nucleus to build around. The
Hammons have one or two new
men showing up, but will greatly j
feel the loss of Art Harris in the
catching position.

champions of last year, show
strong possibilities -of repeating
again this year.

can pick 1940’s champions.
