critics term a national championship

The snap and prowcss displayed
by the southern champions III their
workouts at the bowl since they ar

Sports critics and coaches, here

either team any particular advant-
age that is not offset by superior
ity in some other department of the

The Crimson Tide, as coach Wal

primed and pointed for this battle,

shape today than at any time this

The People of the State of Califor-
MIA, Plaintiff.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-03-15

dicates MT. Hoover's friends most clearly and about which no one can argue is that of Frank Foster of Cordova. Foster denies that he was "kicked" out of the Valdez Hotel after having been seen com ing from the bed room of: we'll known woman at three o'clock in the morr,ing. Fosters objection Che is Judge Ritchie's appointee to the position of United States Attorney) is merely technical, that is all. He was not literally "kick- ed" out, but he HAD TO GET OUT all right because of the cir cumstances above related.
 The point about the administra tion's support of Foster is not so much his immortality, but the fact that Fosters appointment was de- sired by the cannery interests; that Judge Ritchie conceded that appoint ment to them; that Congressman A. M. Free did likewise; and to the ad- ministration at Washington, re- presented by Herbert Hoover, morals do not cut any figure where jobs are needed by friends of friends.
 As for the appointment of Judge Thomas M. Reed and United States Attorney Shoup, while they are men of goodcharacter as the term is com monly understood, their claim to of flee is due to the fact that the poli- tical faction identified with the can nery and mining interests want them in office. Judge Reed has com, mitted acts for which we believe he is genuinely sorry, but he was warned, and being of full legal age, he must take the full responsibility for certain immoral conditions which have resulted therefrom.
 We now speak of his appointment of V. A. Paine as United States Commissioner at Juneau, and Ed ward G. Morrissey as Commissioner to Ketchikan. These Commission CTS, either by their active support of good character as the term is com ance have encouraged lawlessness How can anyone fail to lay the re- sponsibility at the door of the MAN who appointed them?
 As a matter of logic, is it valid argument against Sutherland that

after a bird reserve, and so Secre- tary Wallace refused their request.
 They then went to Herbert Hoover. He created the FISH RESERVES of Western Alaska Gas mere temporary Device" so he said) and fixed it so that fishermen with 9 few exceptions had to go to Cannerymen for per mits to fish for Hoover allotted the fishing permits to the canner- ies. Furthermore, Hoover created the fishing areas in the EXACT language of the resolutions adopt ed Iby the Packers in their San Francisco meeting.
 This act on the part of MT. Hoover was unlawful as he we'll knew, for while he answered his critics by saying that the reserves were 'mere temporary" devices, yet in December of 1924 MT. Hoov- CT had a bill introduced in Con- gress LEGALIZING his reserve orders (see HR 2714).
 In the fight that followed. it was DAN SUTHERLAND who had Congress to provide in the law that "No exclusive or several right of fishery shall be granted, permitted, or recognized in the Territorial waters of Alaska by the Secretary of Commerce" Thus Congress des- troyed the hope of the Alaska Pack CTS Association, and so Herbert Hoover's temporary devices" came to an end by an Act of Congress.
 This is the fight for which Her bert Hoover and his friends are now punishing Dan Sutherland. Is there any fisherman who would wish Sutherland to have acted differently and thus secured the support of Herbert Hoover?
 Are we now to join in the howl to defeat rim ,when he has incurred the enmity of powerful interests BECAUSE he was faithful to the people of Alaska, and did not take his orders from San Francisco in EXACT language as Hoover did?
 "He has not gotten jobs for us"
 The second charge against Suth- erland is the result of his attitude on the first charge. In the fight for federal appointments, Herbert Hoover has indicated whom his
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-03-15

Let us eXamlne candIdly, the argument against the reelection of Dan Sutherland to Congress. If Sutherland is not the proper person to send to Congress, or if he has outlived his usefulness, the people of Alaska should send some one else.
 The charges are
 First; that he has done nothing for Alaska.
 Second; that he has not been able to secure jobs for his friends;
 Third; that he has antagonized the Administration;
 Fourth; thats he is fighting AGAINST the appointment of cer tain men to federal jobs in Alaska rather than for somebody else.
 Students of Alaskan history know that ever since Alaska has been permitted to send a Delegate to Congress tre Delegate has jus tifed his presence there by PRE- VENTING certain legislation rather than by procuring it. This was largely true of James Wicker sham, by which we do not mean to belittle his procuring of the Alaska Railroad.
 As we see it the greatest service which James Wickersham perform ed for Alaska was his BLOCKING of the infamous ALEXANDER FISH BILL. when single handed, he talked the bill to death. By this bill the Wilson administration proposed to give title to the trap sites so much desired by the or ganized cannerymen. If this bill passed, then the cannerymen would have been glad to let Alaska do anything else that remained to be done. TITLE TO PARASITES IS THE GOAL OF CANNERY POL ITICS TODAY just as it has always been since the act of 1906 was passed.
 When Sutherland went to Con- gress, the fight became intense for the reason that cannerymen began to admit generally that the fish of Alaska were being depleted al tho for many years they had denied this fact and were supported in their denial by the Bureau of Fisheries.

And, fellow fans, not the
least of these is Clark Calvin
Griffith himself, the old fox of
baseball who never gives up the
ship and who is, at the moment,
beset with the same raging
championship fever that has
overcome about five out of ten
of his fellow townsmen.
Griff believes that his teams
chances are more than good.
At the current stage of the race
he figures that, outside of New
York, fthe Washington eptry has
as good a chance as that of any

Griff visualizes the Yankees
breaking little by little. He
sees them unable to keep up the
terrific pace they set in the
early stages of the race, and he
believes, with the help of the
Athletics, White Sox and In
dians-all concentrating their
efforts on cutting down the
upper team--that Washington

Ruth wanted to be pitcher
He knew control was necessary.
SO he pitched and pitched and
pitched until he acquired it. This
Ruth is a serious person when it
comes to his own trade. He al
ways has time to learn some-
thing.
Finding himself with a lame
arm in the spring, of 1919, and
not wishing to loaf on the bench,
he asked Ed Barrow, then man
aging the Red Sox, if he might
play the outfield. Receiving per-
mission, he found he had to learn
a lot about throwing. He pro-
ceeded to practice and learn what
there was to be learned and to-
day he ranks with the best out
fielders in the business.
1t is possible that, were he
played in the infield, he would de-
velop into a good firstsacker for

comes to learning all there is
