INLATONlA DERBY

LAToNIA. KY. June 2S.-Ten or
twelve thoroughbreds will comprise
the field for the Latonia derby Satur-
day. despite the injuries suffered in
training gallops yesterday, which caused
the Withdrawal of Zev. Bud Lerner and
Chickvale. Zev looked like a sure
winner, although being asked to go
farther than he had ever gone be-
fore. 1t was because of the long
grind of a mile and half that Ken
tuckians believed they had a chance
to beat the Rancocas star.
Everybody is at sea as to the win
ner. The Clown, from the Audley
stock farm stable, was given a trial of
the full derby route and covered it In
2.33 3-5. Horsemen who saw the ef-
fort expressed the opinion that The
Clown would be hard horse to beat
in Saturdays classic and that he
would trim at least some of the east

NORTHERN RAILROAD
NOT TO HELP FIGHT

ST. PAUL. Mimi, June oS.-William
P. Kenney, vice president of the Great
Northern railroad, which has its head
quarters here, has declared it improb-
able that the road will help finance
the Jack Dempsey-Tom Gibbons fight
at Shelby, Mont, July 4. Fight fans
here see in that refusal a possible OPP
portunity to bring the contest here
and the St. Paul Boxing Club has
telegraphed Jack Kearns. Dempsey's
manager. an offer of 100000, or so
per cent of the gate receipts.
The railroad takes the attitude. Mr..
Kenney said. that prize fight promo
tion is not a railroads business.
In some quarters it had been thought
that the Great Northern would help
finance the bout to protect It's invest
ment in improvements made at Shelby
to accommodate the expected patrons
who would use the Great Northern
lines to travel to Shelby.

Tommy Gibbons is fast in every way
and is hitting as well as he ever did
In other words. he is fine light
heavyweight walloper. So far as con-
dition is concerned. he is in the pink
The writer's first guess is that by
the eighth round Jack ought to be
able to lay 1t on Tommy. Another
guess is that Gibbons might be able
to get inside and then away, piling
gloves upon the champion and getting
him swinging. In that event 1t Is
fifteen rounds with the decision going
10 Gibbons
The first guess looks to be the bet
ter. Or again, there Is no doubt that
Gibbons can knock out any man. In the
world il he hits him right. He might
knock Dempsey out. But that's an
outside guess.
There is no doubt Dempsey is suf-
fering from his long lay-off. He has
not that old assurance. Something in
his attitude may be gathered from
the fact that he will draw a fight
critic aside and ask just what that
critic thinks of Gibbons. OF course.
Jack is the most curious guy in the
world, all the time asking questions.
But. just the same, that's a funny
question for him to be asking, and
shows that his training has not yet
put him in the proper mental poise.
On the other hand. Tommy occupies
the advantageous position OF the chal-
lenger-nothing to lose and a lot to
gain. He can sit pretty and feel as
pretty as he looks.

GEORGE GREEN QUITS
AS WESTERN COACH

Western High School must cast
about for a new tutor for its foot ball
squad during the next two months.
for yesterday the resignation of
George F. Green, gridiron mentor at
the Georgetown institution for the
past three seasons. was accepted by
Washington early this month to as
sumo charge of the athletic camp for
boys he conducts annually at Grand
Rapids, MINI.
Green came to Western in 1920. and
during the first two years of his stay
coached teams in four sports. Dur
ing the past spring, however he gave
up the track squad coaching task.
Green developed remarkable foot ball
teams at Western. considering the
scarcity of material at hand. His
basket ball and track teams also
were especially capable, and last year
his base ball team earned the high
school championship.
When Green assumed the athletic
dictatorship at Western he was no
stranger here. Formerly sports
coach at st. Adams, he made great
track athletes of Brooke Brewer,
Sylvester Maxam and others who won
fame as runners. Later he was in
charge of squads at Tome and Prince
ton Prep.
Green's successor probably will be
appointed before September /. Har-
Ian p. Sanborn, who has been con-
nected with the Asheville y. C. High
School. is being considered for the
position.

FOX FARMING BECOMING
 BIG INDUSTRY TO WEST

According to the biological report for 1922. fox farming is increasing in the Aleudian Chain, where permits for the use of suitable islands are still be- ing issued free to natives and at nominal charge to others. Seventeen permits were issued for islands in the chain during the year, making total of 56 now in effect Several permits for islands were cancelled on recom- mendation of the bureaus represen- tative at Unalaska, some permittees having died and others having failed to make use of their, permits or hav- ing attempted to transfer them with out approval. The natives are being encouraged to use all suitable islands for the propagation of foxes.
 A bill which was pending in Con- gross authorized the Secretary of Az riculture to lease all islands or other unoccupied Government lands lying outside the Government reservations in Alaska or issue permits for grazing or fur farming on them. Fur farming in the Territory is already becoming an important industry and can be made still more profitable by suitable legislation for the protection of those engaged in it.

THE COMING ELECTION

Tuesday. April third, is the date of the city election. Up to the present time no names have been presented for office, although several have signi- fled their intention of allowing their names to go before the people if de- sired. Mir s. M Graf, the present mayor, is willing to run again, if the electors stand behind his administra- ton of city affairs. Mir. Graf is round ing out very successful term as may or, and we believe he has the endorse tnent of the people for reelection. This will be one of the most import ant years in the history of the town. President Harding is contemplating visit to Alaska, with his cabinet friends and one hundred and ninety congressmen and their families will be here on a transport. The Bureau of Fisheries officials are also planning trip to investigate fisheries conditions, and these pe-sonages must be receiv- ed in a fitting manner. That Mayor Graf will be an efficient master of ceremonies is apparent by his past record.
 Stephen Adelman also states his willingness to allow his name to go before the electors to succeed himself. Mir Adelman has made a very success ful councilman, and represents dis

trict that should have representation. He is conservative, good business man and should be unanimously en- dorsed for election.
 MT. P. c. McMillan of the firm of J.. l.. G.aef Hardware company has also been prominently mentioned as can didate for council, as have Messrs. Joe Badger, Gust Peterson, Frank E. Les lie, c. E. O-lander. MT. McMillan has. the qualifications for good coun- cilman and has no entangling allianc- es to prevent serving all the people.
 The holdover members of the coun- cil are Messrs Ellsworth. Cooper and Krefting all good men for the posi- tion, and interested in the city's de velopment. They will make a strong trio to work with the new members.
 Names to be placed on the ticket must be filed with the clerk not later than five days before the election, which would make the date for noml- nations to close March 29. The Gate way has no particular man or men to boost, believing that any man elected will work to the best of his ability for the city's interests. We would prefer, however, to see an amicable, peaceful contest, with no bitterness engender- ed, and trust that this will be the case. There are offices for everyone and none of them pay enough to fight for; so let's go and get our slate made up before the last day of the month.
