Brooklynite Uses Mirror
To Reflect Sun Rays Into
Eyes of Series Batters
NEW YORK. (#1 — Workmen
hastily hung a. tarpaulin over a
section of the center field fence
at Ebbets Field during Sunday’s
World Series game to eliminate a
glare that bothered both the New
York Yankee and Brooklyn Dodg
er batters.
Ed Hurley, American League
umpire who worked Sunday’s
game at second base. Told a TV
audience Sunday night the glare
was caused by a man in a Bed
ford Avenue apartment who re
flected the sun’s rays into the
batter’s eyes with a mirror.
For a time it was believed that
a woman fan in the center field
stands, wearing costume jewelry,
was causing the reflection.

McKinley Park Hotel’s
Annual Alaska Day Fete
To Be Held Oct. 16, 17, 18
McKinley Park Hotel’s annual
Alaska Day celebration is set for
October 16, 17, 18, according to
E. W. Lauesen, operator of the
national park resort hotel.
The celebration attracts persons
from all over Alaska and the
States and has been a highlight
on the Alaska fall social calendar
since 1947.
“The program this year will be
the most extensive ever staged at
the hotel,” Lauesen reports, “with
the Gay Nineties ball being the
main event.”
The ball is a costume affair
with prizes going to those judged
to have the best and most original
costumes. Last year’s winners
were Mr. and Mrs. Walt Sipprell,
at that time living in Seward and
now in Nome.
Entertainment, tours of the park
and the Denali Highway, cocktail
parties, dances, the showing of
slides and movies, and winter
sports are other events being
planned now for the three-day
program.
A number of improvements to
the hotel and the immediate area
are being completed for the pro
gram. The famous Sourdough Sam
Saloon has been redecorated in an
Alaskan motiff, Lauesen reports,
In addition, work is being pushed
on the construction of a new and
longer ski run and other outdooT
facilities.
Reservations for the annual cer
emony can be made by writing
McKinley Park Services, Inc., or
by contacting local travel bureaus.

French as traffic manager of Al

teacher of mathematics at Oregon
State College. He is fully familiar
with all the geographic and busi
ness features of the Pacific North
west.

lower freight tariffs within Alaska

Price Increase Forecast for
Some Drug Store Items
LOS ANGELES, UR— Price in
creases for some drugstore items
are forecast by the president of
the National Wholesale Druggists
Association.

tive price adjustments upward but
not a mass increase,” George W.
Kauffman told a reporter Friday.
“While the cost of living has
gone up nearly 200 percent since
the mid-thirties, items in the cor
ner drugstore have increased less
than 25 percent.”
