from Anchorage, Alaska, where he

Canada and Alaska. He stored his
automobile in Alaska and returned by

up by car required more than ten days.
He came to Clare while in Michigan to purchase a two and a half-ton
Dodge truck from Brown & Bruckart

to drive back to Alaska about June 15.
While here he purchased other supplies not available in Alaska.

while Marshall held Clare hitless until
the sixth, when Chapman got a double,
Hayward got a single in the seventh
and Brinkerhoff a triple in the
eighth, but these led to no > scoring
chances. In the ninth inning things
began to change with Campbell leading off with a single, Foell also got
a single and Tulk slammed a double
into left field, scoring Campbell and
putting Foell on third.
Hayward struck out and Musser
was struck by a pitched ball. Shelander grounded out, s%cpnd to first, scoring Foell. Then with runners on second and third, Hollis Haggart slammed a double over the left fielder's
