PARKS EXPLAINS TRANSFER
 OF OFFICE TO ANCHORAGE

George A. Parks, chief of the Alaska Field Division, General Land Office who returned to Juneau re- gently from trip to the West ward, explained to a representative of the Empire that the transfer of his own headquarters was designed to bring him closer with the districts in which most of the field work ex- ists.
 Mr. Parks had but little comment to make on the transfer of the To- cal U. S. Land Office. T believe it to be a plank of established policy of the Department of the Interior to concentrate its forces and efforts in the districts in which it is in charge and for the development of which it Is responsible that is, where there is the greatest amount of open and un- appropriated public lands. The move for the transfer so far as I know was initiated and consummated at Washington where a complete file of all Alaskan business is kept and details for the change were worked out there"
 An office will be maintained at Juneau bS Mir. Parks. All of the files pertaining to Field Division work in Southeastern Alaska will be kept in it and a clerk assigned to handle all cases. " B. Heisel, MT. Parks chief clerk and disbursing agent, will be left at Juneau as Field Division representative. Mir. Parks expects to spend considerable time at Juneau, probably as much as he has ln the past, transfer Of his headquarters merly bringing him in closer touch with the field in which he has in the past spent all of the summer season.
 T am satisfied that the Depart ment will make satisfactory arrang- ments to take care of all local Land Office business" he said. Just what they will be, he has not been informed. This information will probably come from the Washington offices in the near future.

BANKERS ARE PROMOTERS
OF DEMPSEY FIGHT

GREAT FALLS, MONT, June Is
(By The Associated Press)- Bank
ers of Great Fall today became the
active promoters of the Jack Demp-
sey-Tom Gibbons heavyweight
championship fight scheduled for
July 4, at Shelby, the COW town on
the plains 100 miles north of here.
Dan Tracey, a hotel owner and
mining operator, a lifelong friend
of Jack Kearns, manager of the

ed actively incharge of the fight, and
the $4,000 due eKarns today as the
second installment of Dempsey's
$500, 900 guarantee will be paid in
accordance with the articles OF
agreement.
The bankers, as a result of the
failure of the Shelby promoters to
meet the 500, 600 installment, rush
ed into the situation late last night
in a desperate last minute effort,
pledging their financial support to
meet all obligations and assured
Kearns that the fight would be held
as scheduled. The bankers arranged
to meet today to perfect a new or
g~anization to assist Mayor James
Johnson Of Shelby, treasurer of the
American Legion Post under whose
auspices the fight will be offered.
Kearns, with a party of newspaper
correspondents, was at the station
ready to board a train for Shelby

president of the Stanton Trust and
Savings Banks, with Tracey sudden
ly appeared for a hurried confer
ence. Kearns previously had been
assured by Mayor Johnson that the
100000 installment would be paid
Kearns in Shelby.
Just before the train started
Kearns was prevailed upon to re-
main here for a conference with the
bankers. Neither Mayor Johnson
nor Molumby were present but they

RARE RECORD
FOR GIBBONS
St. Paul Challenger Has
Never Been Knocked off
His Feet in Ring

ST. PAUL. June Is. - When
Tommy Gibbons of st. Paul enters
the ring at Shelby, Mont, July 4, to
meet Jack Dempsey in q 16-round
decision contest, he will carry with
him a rare boast for a fighter OF his
conference.-the has never been
knocked off his feet.
In ten years of his professional
career, the st. Paul challenger has
successfully withstood all efforts 70
knock him out, or even down. while
he in turn has counted 80 knockouts
in his last 81 bouts.
1t was back in 1913 that Tommy
counted his first knockout, flooring
Johnny Shaw in the third ound.
For several years, Gibbons was
merely a successful boxer, and 1T was
not until 1921 that he began TO
show~a punch that sent opponent
after opponent down for the count.
1t was the start of his uccessfu
march toward a championship bout.
Gibbons won 20 straight contests
via the knockout route, then was
cutpcinted by Harry Greb in n To-
round bout in New York, in March,
1922, which went to Greb on the ref
eqee's decision and with it the light
heavyweight title Gibbons was striv-
ing for.
In the list of knockouts that pre-
coded the Greb affair, there were
such names as Al Reich, Tony Mel
cher. Clay Turner, Jack Herman,
Willie Meehan, and others who last
ed less than one round. Paul Samp-
son Jack Clifford, and others sue
cumbed to his driving punch in a
few rounds.
Since the Greb bout, Gibbons has
come along again with more Knock
outs and decision victories. In his
last encounter he met Chuck Wig
gins, no mean portion in the light
heaVy division, and Gibbons floored
hi,.l six times before the "eferee
stopped it in the tenth round.
Financial reward, at least lmme-
date, had little to do with Gibbons
eagerness in signing with Dempsey.
The title bout has beer his ambition
for three years, and before he comes
into the money at Shelby, the paid
attendance will have to CLIMB be-
yond the $500, 600 mark. For his
end, Dempsey is assured of 100000
regardless of the attendance.

ONE GOOD PLAYER OFTEN
MAKE A BALL CLUB

PHILADELPHIA. June 15-One
player very often makes a ball club.
In a sense that Is true of the Phila-
delphia Athletics of 1928. sensation
of the early stages of the American
League race.
Wild. Matthews, playing center
field for Mack, is the athlete who has
made the Philadelphia club. Mat
thews is far from a star. He is play
ing his first year in the majors. He
has a very weak arm. So weak IL
fact that many managers other than
Mack would have passed him up be-
cause Of that one fault.
Hustle has made tie Philadelphia
club of this year, and Matthews has
supplied that feature to the play of
the Athletics.
When Matthews reported in h
spring he was hardly given consid-
Grafton as a regular. His style Of
always trying soon won over Mack
and long before the season opened
the tall leader of the Athletics an
nounced that Matthews would play
center field. There was much spec
ulation when 1t became known that
Matthews had crowded the hard
hitting Till Walker mt Of the Ath-
letics' lineup. Some of the experts
shook their heads rather obviously.
Matthews won a place in the Ath-
Ietics' lineup because he hustled.
And don't think that Mack didn't tell
the rest Of his boys about 1t. The
spirit of Matthews soon permeated
the entire club. T. a rather ordinary
player could win a regular berth be-
cause hustle was his chief asses, why
wouldn't the SAND spirit improve
the play of every other member 81
the team?
The club took the question to
heart and decided in the affirmative.
AS a result there is plenty of hustle
and color to the Athletics of 1928.
Matthews supplied hat winning as
set.
