ment of Emmett
■the staff of Am
pires.
Ho wa3 in tho marines, in the
battle of the Argonno, and his par
Bicular regiment, the Fifth, won a
citation for the kind of fighting it
put up.
Ormsby is a Chicagoan. He is
widely known among local semi-pros,
where for several years he was a
star twirler. Back in 1915. he wras a
shining light, and in spring of the
next year he was with St. Paul in
the American Association.
“Rod” jumped that club, for Uncle
Sam was calling for help. Ormsby
joined the marines. He was in sev
eral minor actions, but the big battle
of his own little carear was in the
Argonne.
After his discharge Ormsby found
Ills usefulness on the ball field im
paired, but he loved the game, so
took up umpiring.
A1 Tearney, president of the West
ern League, was induced to give him
a chance and Red made good from
the start. He .served in 1921 and
last year and did so well his appoint
ment <to Ban Johnson’s staff resulted.
The Western League thought so high
ly of him he was named as one of
its umpires in tho sories between
Tulsa and Mobile last fall for the
1 A championship.
Ormsby has everything in his
favor. He is a big strapping fellow
with a voice that sounds like an
argument between two lake steam
ers. While he is absolutely fearless,
lie's not of the pugnacious kind.
Besides Ormsby the following um
pires will likely be seen in the
American League: Buck Owens,
Clarence Rowland, Billy Evans, Tom
Connolly, George Mori irity, Dick
tvatnn, inn nineen and George Ilildo
brand. I b
President John He.vdler has no
announced the names of umpires for!1
next season but it is almost certain ],}
that the following old-timers will be j8
seen on the field: Billy Klem, Char-|r
ley Rigler. Barry McCormick, Char-|v
ley Moran. Hart, Wes level, Senlell.i'1
O’Da.v and Quigley. Bob Emslie has;
been retired. | o

tls headquarters at Waeilla. During
"its reoent visit to Anchorage h >
ailed to accomplish all of his offi
:ial business, but did not fail in re
reiving the congratulations of his
Mends, who are legion.
Known locally as the "Grand Old
dan of Cook Inlet,'' Judge Cannon
erved in the lower house of the Al
ska legislature with credit to him
"If and his constituents. While
bulge Cannon has always played
noro than his part in tile upbuilding
if his portion of Alaska, he is per
mits better known as the proprietor
►f the Pioneer road 1 tons'* of Knlk.
which establishment he managed for
leveral years. It is s.aid of Judge
'annon that ro one ever left his
oadhouse dissatisfied with the cour
esy extended. In fact, under the
ompetent management or Judge Can
ion the name of the Pioneer road
touse was a byword among the Al
skan travelers and prospectors and
e< agnized as the mo t popular road
lousc) in the country, due principally
o the personality or Judge Cannon,

arm gradually developed into a pay
ug proposition and his home as
aimed the former popularity among
he old-timers.
Judge Cannon occupies a front
dace in the rank of the Alaska sour
loughs who have produced results,
lot so much in a monetary sense as
rom the standpoint of loyalty and
iptimism. He believes In his Alaska
ind since 1808 Judge Cannon has
>ern a consistent booster, aiding
md promoting all legitimate enter
ini-es and movements for advance
nents.
In creating the Wasilla recording
irecinct Judge Ritchie acted only
ifier duo consideration of the ques
ion which has been before’ the offi
iais for several years. Tlie new pre
im t which has been taken from the
Cnik anil Talkeetna precincts will
ustly nerve many people anil many
