NORTHERN NOTES

0. Leet manager of the Wrangsll Ice and Cold Storage plant, one re- cent visit to Ketchikan, said that al- though Wrangell was also hit by the shortage of salmon during the present season, the Wrangell plants and fish ermen had a good season. He said the run and pack of echoes was what saved the day for that town. Hum pies and sockeyes, on the other hand, were scarce, and the king salmon run was not extra good in that vicinity.

 mining engineer, who has been in Ket-
 chikan most of the summer looking
 over the district.

STRONG CONTENDERS
Pete Latzo, WcIter Champion. Has More Formidable Opponents Than Any Other.

New York, Feb. , - Welter- weight Champion Pete Latzo seems to have more formidable contenders seeking his crown than any of the other titleholders.
 The announcement that Benny Leonard, retired as lightweight champion because of his inability to make the weight, intended to return to the ring as a welter, simply adds to the choice list Latzo must face in defense of his crown.
 Eddie Roberts, who recently s,1r- prised by his knockout of Joe Dun- dec, must be given serious consider alton. Dundee, despite that unex. pected reverse. is still in the running.
 Then there is the Scottish cham pion. Jock Fleming, who recently ar rived in this country and is under the able management of Charley Harvey, who handles most of the European performers.
 If Latzo can wade through the long list of welter contenders, he must be regarded as a real cham pion.
 Latzo Is a better fighter than most experts credit him. There have been welter champions with more clever- ness and stiffer punching power, but few with greater all-round ability than Pete has

 Years to Open Tonight

 This was despite the fact that practically every large college i1 the east except Princeton had sent its pick of track and field stars.
 Lorne Nurchison was booked for his first defeat in seven years. with Al Miller, Harvard sprinter. favored to capture the event. Llyod Hahn, who walked away with the Wana- maker mile In New York, was seen as the likely winner of the famous Hunter mile, the oldest fixture on the program.
 The Keith Memorial 660 yard run will see Alan Helffrich of che New York A. c. last years victor. closely pressed by Cecil Cooke of Syracuse University while Ray Dodge of the Illinois A. c. was favored in the 1,- 900 yard special.
 Leo Lermond, sensational two miller, was entered in the Williams three mile. Boston college vas favored to show it's heels to all corners in the great intercollegiate two mile relay and E. M. Wells of Dartmouth was installed as favorite in the high hurdles.

TRADE SCHOOL HAS VERY CLOSE GALL
Barely Noses Out Comets il
 County "Y" League Game
County ssYN Ieao1le.

The New Brita'n Trade school had it's closest call in the County "Y" League last night but finally sub- dued the New Britain Comets by 21-17 and took its eighth straight league game. It was the hardest game the school had played and for a good deal of the time i. looked as if the league leaders were at Ia st to be defeated. They rallied in the third quarter and clung to the lead gained then.
 Augustino's field goal was the only point of the first quarter, so close was the guarding. The Comets kept ahead until just before the erd of the half, when Arena had a SCOT ing streak and the count was tied at S-S. The school gained four points in the third session and hung grimly to this lead in the final enc, Rockwell finding his eye and cff-setting the Comets points with scores of his own. Arena and Rock we'll led the winners offense, with Frost holding two men scoreless. Augustine was best for the Comets. The summary:

 Landers vs. Corbin Screw
 The blonde bobbed head of Nell Sartinski dominated the second game, which was won by Landers over the Corbin Screw team, 16-12. Miss Sartinski scored 14 of her teams points, making six field goals, all pretty ones, and succeeding on the two free tries she was awarded. Madeline Mascolo played a fine game for the Screw Shop and was given good aid by Valeria Slysz and Jennie Bianis, but they could not stop Sartinski. The game was faster than the first at the start, but slowed toward the finish.
 Slysz opened hostilities with a field goal after two minutes but 30 seconds later Sartinski started and made two floor shots, Doris kil- bourne's bringing the count to 6-2 Corbin. Mascolo made a foul, but Sartinski's third basket made the score S-3 at the quarter. In the second period Mascolo and Gather inc Snetro were good for field goals and the former made another after Sartinski had scored, so half-time found the tally at 10-9, Corbin.
 Biannis tied the score at 10-1o after two minutes and 49 seconds of play in the third quarter but Car tinski dropped in complimentary toss and followed with field goal Mascolo's basket made it 15-12 as the period ended The only score in the last quarter was another foul by Sartinski at the four minute mark.

ANNUAL MEETING
 0F TENNIS BODY
Controversy Over Standing ol
 Richards Begins Again

Philadelphia, Feb. P>-Riva forces were drawn up today for the annual meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis association to tug al the thorn of professionalism in the side of their organization.
 | A nation- wide controversy over the proposed ranking of Vincent Richards among Americas leading 1926 amateur players has opened l the old wound. On one side stands the national ranking committee which has held that Richards who | joined c. c. Pyl"'s professional ten his troupe last fall. Is entitled te a place near the top of the list be- cause he completed the outdoor sea- son as an amateur.
 On the other side is the executive committee of the association, which maintains that none but amateurs at the time such rankings are of- ficially approved shall be ranked" The executive committee expects the support of the Middle States association Tn their stand. While the ranking committee looks for backing from the New York State association and delegates from the midwest.
 Should friends of Richards win their fight to have him ranked first by the association today on the basis of this three victories over William T. Tilden last year. It will mark the first time in his career that he has held the No. 1 position. Defeat of the attempt. On the other hand, is eXpetced to result in the elevation of Tilden to the top for the seventh successive year.
 Several amendments to the play ing rules were on the calendar of the meeting. Chief of which was a change to permit the use of spiked shoes at all turf court tournaments.
 No change was expected in the schedule of important championship events which prevailed last year. The Davis Cup challenge round again has been tentatively fixed for September 8, and 19 at the Ger mantoWn Cricket club, Phoiladel- phia, while the national mems singles championship again has been slotted for the West Side club Of Forest Hills, N. r., starting the week of September 12.

GOOD GAMES MARK
 LEAGUE OPENING
Girls Teams Play Before Ca
 pacity lhrong of Court Fans
League Standing

Girls basketball returned to New Britain last night when the Girls Industrial league opened its season at the Y. w. c. A. before crowd which filled the gymnasium to capacity. So many enthusiasts stormed the ". w." that soon after the first game had started orders had to be given to stop the sale of tickets and those who came late were turned away disappointed. This large attendance was treated to two games as close and breath-taking as any which the men from the local factories have played, the first game being won in the last ten seconds of play and the nightcap being any bodys victory until 1t was almost over.
 Stanley Rule Vs. N. B. Machine
 Mary Jarnot's field goal in the last ten seconds gave the Stanley Rule team a 1O-s win over the New Britain Machine quintet in the sea- sons opener. It was fierce game and a rough one, with the teams evenly matched. The Rulers showed better passwork but hurried their shots as the Machine guards closed in about them. The losers, on the other hand, made better use of the few free shots they had than did the winners of their many.
 Julia Sinkiewicz dropped in a shot after minute of play, but a long effort by Anna Marley tied the score at the $40 mark. There was no more scoring until Anna Simmons sank a goal at the start of the sec ond period. and again the Rule shop tied things at the 5-40 mark when Ruth Paul dropped in two free shots. It was still A at the half. After about five minutes of play in the third period Mary Jarnot scored from under the basket and dupli- cated the feat an instant later. Sin kiewicz made a foul, and Simmons added another when Julia Dombrow came into the game and talked to her mates in the last period. There was only minute to go when Sin kiewicz shot field goal to tie the score, but Jarnot was rushed back into the game and Tipped in the winning toss almost with the whistle.
 The Summary:
New Britain herald., 1927-02-05

The National Guards will meet the Brooklyn A. c. quintet at the State Armory tonight in the third game between the two. The Guards beat the Waterbury team in the first game played in this city and then lost the second in Waterbury by the score of Az to "A.
 The Brooklyn five will bring it's full quota of stars to this city in an attempt to dump the locals for the second successive time. A double win over the Guards will give the team from the Brass City the dis tinction of being the only team in the state to hold two wins out of three over the Guards.
 The New Britain team is all steamed up because the quintet wants to avoid all possible chance of the Waterbury team winning to- night. The Guards are making q strong bid for the state basketball title and right now stand ahead of most of the teams in the state in the matter of games won and lost.
 The visiting team tonight is ona ; of the few that stands with one game won and lost with the Guards and a battle Of real proportions will be fought on the state armory floor tonight.
 Many of the fans in this city have underrated the Brooklyn team, but when one considers that the Guards were able to win by only 10 points, So to 25 in New Britain and then were beaten by IS points in Water- bury, it can be seen that the two quintets are evenly balanced. The Burritts will meet the Com- pany B team of Middletown in the preliminary game and this, itself will be hot battle. The Middletown five beat the Burritts last year and return game was not played. This gives the local squad the opportunity of evening up the win over them by Company B last season.
 The first game will start promptly at s o'clock and the main game will commence about g o'clock. Dick Dillon will referee. Dancing will follow the games.

BY JIMMY POWERS

New York, Feb. 5-Corned beet and cabbage made him what he ie today--I hope you're satisfied.
 Ever since Michael Francis Me- Tigue started his sensational spurt of spectacular knockouts every fight fan in the country has been chirp- ing, Well, I'll be blowed, the old son-of-a-gun has been hiding behind a pair of boxing gloves for 14 years how come?"
 And down the line wherever flat noses and thick ears are the mode you hear an echoing chorus of mys- tifying "how-comes."
 "Corr-r-rnned beef and cabbage, me bi'," comes the ready answer of this grinning, rejuvenated Celt who will be 40 years old next fall and who is out there at night slashing, tearing, ripping vicious rights and lefts to surprised youngsters chins- a complete metamorphosis from the sly. cautious, roller skating fox we all knew so well.
 Dr. Jekyll used to sniff a mys- terious powder that changed him Into Mir. Hyde.
 Michael Francis pulls his chair up to steaming dish of "red mike and violets," as that famous dish is known in the quaint patois of the Bronx.
 'I'll tell ye, me lad" he says in answer to my question for the low down on his change, II used to rade all this scientific balderbosh runnin' in the papers about diet-carbohy- drr-rates, caloric values and notro- genous foods.
 "Begorra, all my life I used to nibble away at lettuce and such like a faint-hearted rabbit.
 After Delaney bate me I sispind- ed trainin' fer awhile and ate meats and built up energy and a fightin' spirit. Now I feel like a lion and there's not bit O blarney in that, so help me Hannah"
 Mike is now matched with Jack Sharkey. A championship bout with Jack Delaney is brewing. The red faced, freckled old Mick who once held the light-heavy crown has bat tied them all for years with but one lone knockout against him.
 What an interesting career he has had, polishing 1t up to date with a dramatic and savage knockout of Paul Berlenbach in four rounds. No one sat down once in the Garden that night.
 Mike is one of brood of 13 chil- dren.
 He was born in Killmonaugh par ish, County Clare, Ireland. His REAL age is 39. He met Jack Brit ton when he came to America and he followed him everywhere, He spent long hours in a gym emulating Britton's lightning left that could stab a hole in the eye of a needle.
 Watch Mike closely in action and you Will see the resemblance to the old master Remember what a treat 1t was to see Jack turn sideways and lash out with rapier-like left? Mike has the same trick down pat,
 T used to pride meself on bein' called boXer,' says Michael. now all want to do is fight. All Irish men can fight, But it took me 4O years to find if out,"
