It is now practically certain that champion Jack Dempsey will meet Tommy Gibbons, the only man who ever stayed the limit with him since he became champion, in "a championship 15-round bout in New York City the last week in May. Gibbons, meantime, will be brought east and matched with Gene Tunney and others to let the cash customers see what he can do, and to steam up inter- est in the proposed fight with Dempsey.

HOW THE POLITICAL

 renomination, according to re-
 ports from Juneau during the
 past week. Reports indicate,
 however, that he will have aI least one opponent and possibly
 more. William D. Coppernoll, Seward attorney and former
 United States Commissioner at
 Mccarthy, has announced his
 candidacy for the republican nomination for the office.
 Political gossip says Thomas c. Price, former member of the
 Territorial legislature, also
 has his eyes on that office. MT.
 Price is a democrat but is con- sidered as certain to make a
 hard race in the event that he decides ot enter the contest.
 Harry G. Steel, publisher or the Cordova Times and a wide ly known resident of the Third
 Division, has filed his candis |cy for delegate to the Repub- |lican convention.
 The outlook for the return or
 Dan. Sutherland to the office of Alaska delegate to Congress appears to be decidedly favor
 able. It is the general view of the political forecasters that
 Mir. Sutherland will go into the
 April primaries for renom-
 ination without opposition. Re- ports from~the several territor- ial divisions have developed candidates for other positions but up to the present no one has appeared as a candidate for his position.
 Mr. Sutherland is serving his second term in Congress. He was elected for the first time at the general election of Nov ember 2, 1920 by a large maj ority over his democratic op- ponent.
 In response to a call of the Democratic Central Committe for the First Division, the Dem- ocrats held a convention in Juneau on the last day of the month for the purpose of form- ulating a party platform ana deciding on the party policies. The apportionment of dele. gates for the various incorpor- ated towns and voting pre- cincts was as follows: Juneau 20 delegates; Haines2; Chich- agof 2; Petersburg 8; Ketch- ikan IS; Hyder 2; Douglas 2; Skagway 3; Sitka 4; Craig 2; Wrangell 3; and all other pre- cincts one vote each.
 T. s. Elsmore, of Petersburg, and Senator Forrest J. Hunt, Republicans, have filed for the nomination for Territorial sen- ator for the First Division. MT. Elsmore is cashier of the Pet Bank and present may or of that city. Senator Hunt was elected to the legislatures of 1921 and 1923, serving as president of the latter body.
 w. L. Paul, Ketchikan attor- ney has filed as a candidate for nomination for member of the lower house.
 Thomas J. Donohoe has filed his declaration of candidacy for reelection as Democratic National Committeeman. MT. Donohoe was requested to be- come a candidate to succeed himself by Democrats in all parts of the Territory.
 The following have filed for nominations to membership in the house and senate for the Third Division. J. L. Waller, of J. H. Murray, of Mccarthy, Frank Foster, of Cordova, Edmund c. Oldfin, of Anchorage, republicans, for the house; A. E. Fucker, of Seward, democrat, for the hou- SC. Dr. w. H. Chase, of Cor dova, has announced for the senate, to run against Senator B. E.

 A review of the playing of the
 big teams last season shows the Cleveland Indians, as a teams not only led the Amer ican League in batting with an average of 401, but were the champion scoring machine, drew the most bases on balls,
 and had the least number of
 ;trike-outs during the season.
 The feats of Manager Iris Speaker and pitchers Uhle, and Covelskie were among the most outstanding of the season.
 Uhle won 26 games, more than any other pitcher on the circuit, pitched to the most batsmen, 1898, and worked in .z9 complete games, another seasonal record. ;Coveleskie was the only American League pitcher to allow less than three earned runs to game. His av- craze was 2.76.
 Speaker led his team in hitting with an average of.380 and set new worlds record by knock ing out 59 two-base hits. Har- ry Heilmann and Babe Ruth were the only two regulars to exceed his batting mark but the Cleveland leader drove in more runs than his Detroit riv- al, and, playing two less gam es, drove in just as many runs as Ruth. Lutzke proved one of the sensations of the league ill his first season with the h. dians,, leading all third base
 nen in covering ground. In 143 games he is credited with 358 assists, high above the record set last year by Dyke of Phil adelphia, He also had 186 ut outs, 13 more than Kamm of Chicago, who played six games more. Kamm had six less as- sists to his credit. Cleveland batters drew 633 bases on balls had 1884 strike-outs, and made 1,594 hits, scoring s8s runs, 6o more than the champion Tank ees, despite the latter's 1O5 home runs.
