The Transportation
 Question
By JOHN RUSTGARD, Attorney General for Alaska.

The Legislature of 1921 directed the Attorney General to investigate transportation problems and to investigate transportation problems and to report. I have done so bv the results of which have been laid before the public in my report of 1923, 1925 and 1927. I have de- monstrated in those reports that t costs more to send ton of freight from Seattle to Seward than it costs to send that same ton of freight from Seattle to New York and back again by way of the Pana- ma Canal; I demonstrated that, measured by the ton mile, the freight rates on the water routes of Alaska are from eight to seventeen tims as high as the freight rates on the leading water routes of the world; I have demonstrated that freight on Alaska routes flows more evenly each way each month of the year than on the intercoastal routes through the Panama Canal or on the Atlantic Ocean, not to speak of
 
 have demonstrated that while the periodicty of the ebb and flow of freight through, for instance, the Panama Canal is such that in the intercoastal trade thru that water way the ships average throughout

BOSTON HOPES FOR
 ANOTHER TENANT
Return of Bill Carrigan to Red. Soz Regarded as Good Omen

Boston, Jan. 31 R1Champion- ship visions loom again before Bos- ton baseball fans with the return of Bill Carrigan as manager of the Red Sox. It was he who piloted the Red Sox to worlds championships in 1s15-16 and then retired on his laurels, leaving material that brought Boston another worlds title in 1918. Returning to the game after an absence of decade, he now faces the task of making a winner out of a club that in recent years has been 8 tail-ender in the American League race.
 The Red Sox's most vulnerable spot last season was its battery weakness. A catcher himself. Car rigan will concentrate on strengthen ing the pitching and catching de- partments. Toward this end, he has mustered group of promising re- cruits to go into spring training at New Orleans March l.
 Freddy Hofmann Is slated to be first-string backstop for the Red Sox during the coming season. He comes from the St. Paul club of the Amer ican Association, where he was rated as one of the best In the league. For Hofmann's understudy. Carri- gan has Grover Cleveland Hartley, a veteran obtained from the India napols club. Three other recruits will be taken south as candidates for catcher's job. They are Cliff ford Knox. formerly with Hartford in the Eastern League, William Moore, from Portland, Maine. and Chester Horan, from Frederick, Md.
 A promising group of youngsters will contend with the veterans Chas. Ruffing. Jack Russell. Fred Wing field, Bryan Harris. Delmar Lund- gren, Tony Welzer and Harold Wiltze for places on the pitching staff. Among them are Johnny Wilson, who won 16 and lost games for Sanford. Fla, last season, and was sought by the Pittsburgh Pirates; Danny Macfayden, a 20 year old Somerville, Mass. youngsters; Fred Benjamin. who performed well for Topeka last season; Rudolph Somers from Columbus, and Bob Adams of Dover. Del.
 In the deal that brought Catcher Hofmann to Boston. the Red Sox also acquired Paul Wanninger from St. Paul. Wanninger was consider ed the outstanding shortstop in the American association. To fill another gap in the infield. the Sox are count ing on Russell Rollins, a youngster discovered by Scout Hug Duffey from the Dixie league where he was a mainstay with the Mobile club, the Sox have recalled Jack Rothrock from Rochester and Bill Rogell from Jersey City as other infield prospects.
 A newcomer as candidate for an outfield berth is Leo Carlyle, from Toronto.

DYING GUNMAN MAY
 | HAVE GIVEN TIP
Detroit Police Now Hunting
 Terrible Tommy

Detroit, Jan. 31 LP-The name
 Tommy O'Connor," breathed from
 the lips of dying man here, sent
 police of two states scurrying in d
 whirlwind of activity for trace of the notorious kingpin of the Chicago badlands who walked out" of the
 Cook county jail at Chicago in 192a
 on the eve of his execution for mur- der during a holdup.
 The words which sent a thrill
 through police channels of Illinois and Michigan, were uttered yester-
 day by Martin Dale, who with a com- panion, Ray O'Neill was mortally
 wounded in a pistol battle with po- lice in an attempted holdup here. | One officer was killed and another seriously wounded. Dale, taken to a
 hospital, whispered to an officer.
 Tommy O'Connor had the low down on this (the drugstore hold-
 up) and told us we couldn't miss" Dale asked that his mother in Wilmington, Calif., be notified and
 died before police could question him further.
 Authorities immediately got in touch with Chicago police in the | belief that Dales companion might
 have been O'Connor. The Chicago authorities. however, identified tho
 body as that of O'Neill, who they said was known in Chicago and
 Milwaukee.
 Through relatives of Dale In Chi ! cago. the police learned that the twd holdup men had visited 6 friend in the Michigan state prison at Jackson whom they believed to have been OConnor and officers were immedi- ately dispatched to the institution. | They expected to arrive at the prison today when an inspection of the in-
 mates and prison records will bs made. Prison authorities said they
 had no record of either Dale or O'Neill ever having visited the prison and secuted the possibility of O'Con- nor's imprisonment there.
 Meantime Detroit police following a tip that O'Connor had been direct- ing operations of band of criminals here secured the city's underworld for trace of the gunman. A negro caught holding up store by one of the squads on the hunt for O'Connor, was shot to death when he resisted arrest.
 Since Terrible Tommy's" escape he has been reported variously as in Mexico, Central and South America and Canada.

'SYbIL BAUER DIES AFTER OPERATION
Noted Woman Swimmer Had Been III for Past Several Months

Chicago, Jan. 31 R - Sybil Bauer. 23 year old holder of all worlds backstroke records in the womens class, died at Michael Reese hospital early today following an illness that developed last win ter.
 Miss Bauer had been in the hos pital 92 days critically ill, but news of her death came as shock, as recent reports had noted an i'm provement in her condition.
 At her bedside were her par ents, Mir. and Mrs. Carl Bauer, her two brothers, Valentine and George Bauer, her sister, Dorothy, and Ed ward Sullivan, New York news paperman, to whom she was to have been married in June.
 Miss Bauer held 23 worlds backstroke records in all distances from the 100 meter to the quarter mile event. Her victories included the 1924 Olympic games back stroke championship.
 Despite her comparative. youth, Miss Bauer had been engaged in aquatic competition for nearly eight years. She first took to the water when she was Is years old student in high school. Her career ran concurrent with that of another great Chicago water star Johnny Weissmuller.
 Both won many tank victories under the colors of the Illinois Athletic club.
 Leaving high school Miss Bauer continued perfecting her backstroke skill at Northwestern university, where she won her letter. She missed her degree of bachelor of arts at Northwestern by one term, having been unable because of her illness to complete her final year. Miss Bauer's last competition was at St. Augustine, Fla, last February.
 She won the 100 yard backstroke there in one minute and Is sec onds. which was four-ffths of a second slower than her world s record made in 1923 at Loyola uni versity, Chicago.
 Two years before the St. Angus tine competition Miss Bauer, swim ming at Miami, established a worlds mark in the 200 meter backstroke, her time being three minutes. three and four-hfths sec onds. At Bermuda in 1922, the swimmer. who was then still in her teens, backstroked the 400 me- ters in six minutes, A 4-5 seconds, record that has never been equalled by woman.
 1 Friends said that the illness that cost her life dated from the St Augustine competition.
 At Northwestern university Miss Bauer was president of the Wom. ans Athletic association and was a member of the Northwestern stu dent council She was active in many campus activities and also played on the university's girls hockey team.
 Despite her illness, Miss Bauer had gone forward with plans for her wedding in June. Recently her

SPEAKER MAY JOIN
 NEW YORK YANKEES
Has Conference With Connie Mack and With Miller Huggins

New York. Jan. 31 UP)-Tris Speaker, deposed manager of the Cleveland Indians, according to gossip and bets being offered here today will become a member of the New York Yankees.
 After a conference in Philadel- phia with Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, Speaker came here and had a long talk with Ed Bar row, business manager of the Yankees, and Miller Huggins, field manager.
 If terms were not reached during the conference it probably was be- cause of the promise given by Speaker to Clarke Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, that he would not close with any other club until he had heard Washington's proposition.
 If Speaker is looking for money and is considering his future. the Yankees no doubt, with the largest treasury in the league, could offer him a better proposition than the Athletics or the Senators.
 Connie Mack has spent about as much money as he can afford in building up the team since the 1926 season closed and Washington hasn't any too much wealth.
 It was taken for granted that Speaker could command a big bonus for signing a contract as well as getting a good salary. Zack Wheat, when he was relased by the Brook lyn Robins, got a bonus of at least s5,0oo for signing a contract with the Athletics.
 New York fans are wondering, however, what the Yankees figure on doing with Speaker. He is too valuable player to sit on the bench and if they used him in the outfield they would have to displace Earl Combs.
 Combs isn't great star but he's a good ball player He is faster than Speaker, he hit within a few points of the former Cleveland star last season and his only fielding weakness is his arm.
 It would be folly, of course. to think of taking Bob Meusel or Babe Ruth out of regular outfeld posi- tions in favor of Speaker.
 There are other reasons, however, why the Yankees wanted Speaker. He would be valuable to have around as a pinch hitter, as an al- tcrnate fielder with Combs and as a substitute for use in case Of injuries. Meusel was out of the game for months last season with a broken leg and Combs has an ankle that may crack again at any time.
 There are business reasons too that would make Speaker worth a lot of money. He would be an ad- ditional box office asset to counter act the Giants star Rogers Hornsby
 The Philadelphia Athletics look to be the chief rival of the Yankees in the coming pennant race and Speaker might be the one influence that would give the Athletics the balance and the experience they have been missing.

sorority sisters of Northwestern had been visiting her in the hos pital assisting in the gathering for her hope chest. Miss Bauer was born in Chicago in September, 1903. Funeral arrangements are incomplete. Burial will be in Chi cago.

Bare Fist Battles Of the Prize Rinp

Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc ) When l escaped near murder at the hands of Jim Gibbons gum fighting brother of Austin Gibbons, by pointing out the fact that he shot me his brother would lose 8 chance of making sso,o0o fighting me, I got down to serious training. knew Austin Gibbons was a good fighter.
 We met Sept. II, 1891 and when I walked into the ring I knew I was jobbed. They gave me pair of gloves that seemed as big as bed pillows. looked across the ring and saw Gibbons surrounded by his gang of fighters pulling on tight light pair that I'll bet did not weigh four ounces
 The odds. which should have favored me, the champion, switched to to 1 and to l against me.
 Jerry Dunn was the referee.
 When the fight started couldn't get Gibbons to lead. We feinted back and forth and then I heard a police officer say to Dunn, '1t we stop the fight will you call it a draw?"
 tried to get the answer but couldn't.
 knew all sorts of undersanded things were going on but was helpless. The house was worth $3O,o0o and I did not want the police to stop the show or would lose my cut. I went after Gibbons and started to slaughter him. l cut him to ribbons and had his face a mess. l wanted to drop him without making him bleed because knew the police would jump in the ring. He was tough and l could not sink him.
 In the sixth round, after furry of gloves on my part, with Gibbons rolling dizzily along the ropes the police busted 1t up. When l went down to the Police Gazette to collect my purse and side bet, was told by Richard Fox there was some ques- ton about the winner and then there followed a lot of legal action and I was cheated out Of every penny.
 later got even with Gibbons by masquerading my name. He signed to fight a "Joe Wolcott" at Coney Island. When he got there he found me in the ring. I kicked him around for 12 rounds and then knocked him out.
