Germany furnished substantial evil dence of all-round athletic revival but attracted particular attention in track and field sports. Here the Teu- tons furnished an International sen- sation in the person of Dr. Otto Pelt- zer This blond young middle dis tance runner shattered Ted Mere dith's world record for the half mile, in the British championships and later conquered Paavo Nurmi and Edwin Wide, the Scandinavian stars in a record -shattering 150O-meter race at Berlon.
 | Peltzer's rise has been as phenom- enal as that of Nurmi, although the Teuton star apparently does not pos sess the running range of the Phan- ton Finn. Nevertheless, with Ger many's re-entry into the Olympic Games in 1928, Peltzer will be for midable contender for middle dis tance honors now held by Lowe of England and Numi.
 Erich Hagenlacher, the billiard star, added to Germany's prestige by unexpectedly dethroning the young American, Jake Schaefer, as worlds 18.2 balkline title holder. Norway sent over a super-star in the slim, wiry person of Charley Hoff, who smashed all American pole vaulting records indoors and lifted the scales of two of this country's most versatile performers, Harold Osborn and Emerson Norton, in an all-round test. But the Vaultiing Vik ing, essaying a countrywide tour, en- countered an in eligibility storm cloud and withdrew from amateur ranks to accept professional engage ments,
 Rivalry between Great Britain and America spread to many branches of sport besides golf Tn tennis, the American women's team regained the Wightman Cup in a close contest at Wimbledon, while Howard Kinsey and Vincent Richards teamed to de- feat England's best in a special match abroad.
 American fencers also won back the Robert M Thompson trophy from British swordsmen while Yankee rife men were victorious in an interna- tional shoot at Risley, England, in June. The Oxford Cambridge lacros- SC team, touring this country, lost 12 out of 13 matches to American teams but some amends for this disaster were made when the English univer- sites combined to beat Princeton and Cornell at track.
 International boxing interest picked up toward the end of the year with the addition of Harry Person, the tatooed Swede, Franz Diener of Ger many, and Paolino, the Basque Wood 1 chopper, to the list of heavyweight contenders for Gene Tunney's title. Tn the amateur boxing field, South American countries scored the years outstanding triumph by defeating a picked team of Americans in five out of eight classes at Buenos Aires in May.

 Your country is wonderiui one-full of romance and beaut-, your business men and their business methods seem fairly to reek with progressive spirit, yet there is one thing I cannot understand. Why is it that Alaska still remains geograph- ical puzzle, a mystery unsolved, to those of the outside world?" This briefly, summarized the impression gained the past two weeks by one of the many influential business men of the east, touring the Territory for the first time.
 IL. U. nearly as large as the Alaska, and operated and owned by the Union Sulphur Company of New York City, has arrived in Ketchikan. On board | is the president of the company, four directors and 12 geologists. The boat arrived at Kasaan bay from San Ped TO and it is understood the mission Iof the officials of the company in Alaska is to investigate pyrites of iron for sulphides to be used in pa per and pulp making. The New York concern now carries sulphides from
 Texas to San Francisco, and it is un- derstood that if the investigations prove that the product can be pro- duced from Alaska mineral in con- petition with that of Texas, the com pany will extend it's operations to Alaska. It is said that 85 per cent of wood pulp is treated by the sul- phide process and therefore the min eral from which it is extracted will enter largely into the cost of paper making in Alaska.

TUNNEY IN SIX
ROUNDS BY K. 0.
BRONSON SAYS

LAKE GENEVA, Ills, Sept. IS P)-
A heat wave that shot the mercury up
to 95 degrees in the scanty shade en-
veloped the Cedar Crest Country club
today where Gene Tunney trains some
times for his battle with Jack Demp-
sey in Chicago week from Thurs
day. But the heavyweight champion
was on leave again, enjoying what
ever. breeze swept in from Lake Mich
igan to Lake Forest, where he visited
with friends.
Tunney is not expected back at
camp until "wednesday night and is
not to resume training until Thurs
day.. The program then calls for box
sing sessions until Sunday or possibly
Monday. Genes activities will be
governed only by his own conception
of the amount of work necessary to
attain peay condition for the battle
of the distant vistas in Soldiers field
September %. The big marine, his
own trainer, feels that the training
grind is about over and that too much
work will leave him stale for the
championship tilt.
With sun lodging the only possible
entertainment about camp today, the
newspapermen awaiting the appear
ance of the champion, spent several
hours punching the bag' on the front
veranda of the club house with Jimmy
Bronson, Genes chief second in the
winning tilt with Dempsey last fall
and nominated for the same job next
week.
In Bronson's opinion Tunney today
is 80 per cent better than last year
and should win by a knockout in six
rounds or less.
"Gene is boxing with more speed
and assurance than ever before, y
Jimmy said "Ee is heavier because of
the weight added to his shoulders
despite the decrease in the size of his
waist and hips, The new strength in
Genes shoulders has added 20 per
cent to the effectiveness of the cham
pion's right hand punches and they
we're heavy enough at Philadelphia to
make mask of Dempsey's face. No
improvement in Dempsey could bring
him to the point where he exceeds
original superiority, let alone the
champions own Improvement"

TURF MATCHES

FOREST HILLS, N Y, Sept. 13
P-Rene Lacoste, of Paris, defend
ing champion, and William t. Tilden,
of Philadelphia, today swept through
their second round matches in the
national turf court tennis champion
ship with loss of but six games each.
Favored to reach the final round,
the French and American aces won
respectively from Gilbert Nunns, Tor
onto, Canada, 60, 6-2, 6-A, and
Berkeley Bell, Austin, Texas, 6-2, 6-2,
6-2
Meanwhile the supporting casts in
the Franco American big show came
through along with their principals.
Second round victories were chalked
up for Henri Cochet, Jean Borotra
and Jacques Brugnon, of the French
Davis cup team, and for William M.
Johnston and Francis T. Hunter, Of
the ill-fated American team.
Two of the seven matches which
the leading contenderS engaged went
to extra sets, Cochet and Borotra
meeting stubborn opposition from
young American opponents and need
ed four sets to win.
Borotra, whose love of the theatrical
impels him to never play one set
where two can be played, won in
characteristically spectacular style
from Sam Gilpin, of Philadelphia,
6-4, 30, 6-8, rs. Cochet was plainly
in earnest in his match with Ed
Feibleman, former Harvard player,
but had difficulty with his lanky
opponents sharply angled and ac.
curate drives. He ended by wearing
down Feibleman as he wore down
Tilden at Wimbledon and winning at
GA, 8-6. ST, SO.
Brugnon had the distinction of win-
ming the quickest victory of the cay,
taking only 80 minutes to subdue Don
Strachan, of Philadelphia, SO, 81, 6-2.

American League

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 lP--The New
York Yankees clinched the American
league pennant today beyond all
mathematical doubt with double
victory over Cleveland, each by
score of 5 to 8.
Babe Ruth, clubbing out one home
run in each game to bring his seasons
total up to So, led the attack that
definitely assured the Yankees their
second straight championship and
and fifth in seven years under the
management Of Miller Higgins.
The Yankee steam roller, flattening
all opposition almost from the start
of the season, clinched the flag with
the finish of the season still nearly
three weeks away and with the over
Whelming margin of II games over
The second place Philadelphia Athlet-
les. 1t is one of the most decisive
victories in the history of either
major league and contrast to the
Yankee triumph last year, when the
team barely staggered in at the
finish with a three game margin
ever Cleveland.
With Is more games to play, the
Yankees may lose all of them and
still finish at the top by a single
game margin, even though the
Athletics win all Of their remaining
II contests.
The Yankees have set few new
slugging records this season that may
stand for some time. The spectacular
Ruth -Gehrig battle has enabled them
to break the major league club record
for total home runs Two by Ruth
today, along with others by Pat Col
lins and Earl Combs, brought the
Yankee aggregate up to 145, five more
than the record of 140 set by the
Chicago Nationals in 1884 The
American leagues former record, I34.
was set by the Yankees in 1921,
when Ruth hung up his high in
dividual mark of SO.
George Pipgras outpitched Willis
Hudlin to win the first game this
afternoon, while. Waite Hoyt enjoyed
the distinction of capturing the de-
Gliding game, marking his 2lst victory

JACK ENGAGES

that PUZZLE

LINCOLN FIELDS, CRETE, Ill,
Sept. 13 (A'i-Under the glare of the
flood lights, Jack Dempsey engaged
in another mysterious session of
moonlight maneuvers at his training
camp tonight, with everybody barred
out but Manager Flynn, jerry Luvadis
end Gus Wilson, trainers, and the
essential sparring partners.
When darkness descended on the
place, all the newspaper correspond
ents and photographers were chased
out and the premises searched fol
spies by Fred Tascott, Chicago police
sergeant. After dinner, all members
of the Dempsey household of AZ
people were told to take a walk
down the roadside for an hour. 1t
was during their absence that Demp~,
sey engaged in his secret workout,
as he did last Sunday night
A new sparring partner with a
reputation of having a great left
hand, Armand Emmanuel, Of San
Francisco, was slated to trade punches
with Dempsey, along with Allentown
Joe Cans, and other regular members
Of the staff
Dempsey did no boxing today, nor
any road work. In the sweltering
heat of midaftenoon, with the tner-
nnometer around 95, he climbed into
his ring togs for light session with
the punching bags He whaled away
at the light bag for four rounds
and drove punches into the heavy
swinging target four more, while
Jerry the Greek, his trainer, attempt
ed to hold the bag stationary
Instead of going out on the road,
Dempsey tugged at the rowing ma
chine for half an hour this morning.
