A REAL AMERICAN SAID

In regard to the Germans and foreigners, I esteem them no bet ter than other people, nor any worse. It is not my nature, when I see people borne down by the weight of their shackles-the ap- ptessien of tyranny-to make their life more bitter by heaping upon them. greater burdens but rather would do all in my power to raise the yoke than to add anything to crush em.-Lincoln in Greeting the Germans of Cincinnati.
 A short paragraph but it puts to shame the alleged Americanism of so,talled 1OO-Percent Americans in Alaska.

SATISFIED WITH REGULATIONS

Upon his return to the States af- ter 9 interviewing cannerymen and trapmen only, MT. Ritchie, Secre-3 tary Hoover's left bower, and Rob- inson Crusoe OMalley's man Fri day, declared that everybody was satisfied with the regulations and with the condition of the fisheries in Alaska.
 From the statements made by MT. Ritchie, O'Malley was able to report present regulations as being "benefcial' and Secretary Hoover was able to report an amazing in crease" in the salmon run due to escapement of seed fish two years ago.
 That fishermen and businessmen in this Division are dissatisfied with present regulations is evidenced by their conversation wherever they -congregate and discuss the fisheries question; that all the, truth is not being told by the Triumvirate of the Packing industry is further evil denced by the petition from Cor tlova business men printed on another page. That these business men know that their financial in turests are tied up with those of the fishermen is a sign that other than 'illiterates" are awakening to the need of calling the publishing of sstatements by O'Malley or any one else in this important matter
 We can point to the day when the Petersburg Packing Company employed twenty crews of seiners aggregating a hundred and twenty fishermen and put up only 30 and 10000 each year we can point to tho day when the Alaska Packers cannery at Wrangell employed as many and more putting up 60,OO0 cases when the same concern at Ioring employed many more men to put up their 120,00O cases. Along with these seiners were their families who worked in the can those instruments of depletiOn-the traps and foreign labor who con- tr.bute not to the building up of To- cal business.
 The resident seiner and family used to spend all of his earnings in A.aska-the foreign labor is allow ed tickets against the commissary Or q small amount in cash while Seattle receives the full spending of two and three millions of dollars which the cannerymen brag about through the Seattle press.
 It is high time that more business men awaken even as did the Cordo- va men and urge modification of rresent discriminatory regulations

Representative Martin Madden, Republican, of Chicago, Chairman of the House Committte on Appro- prlations declared recently. He con- sldered that the five year program authorized by the recent session of Congress entirely adequate to meet all the best interests of national defense, and no new appropriations should be made beyond it."
 Attention was called by MT. Mad dent to the fact that, during the war, $1,9O0,O0 was expended on av- iation out of the Federal Treasury and that since the war, expenditures have been at the rate of $90,000, coo a year.

HUDKINS IN TANGLE
OVER BAKER BATTLE
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, July ga mix-up
in fight contracts involving bouts in
Chicago, New York and Los Angeles
today found Ace Hudkins,. Lincoln,
Nebr., welterweight, facing new diff.
culties in his efforts to stage an out.
door bout with Sergt. Sammy Baker
here.
Hudkins was informed today that
his bout with Baker, scheduled for
July IL, had been postponed until July
20. Even then it is not certain the
bout will be staged, for while Pro-
moter Dick Donald has a contract
signed by Clyde Hudkins, brother and
manager Of Ace Hudkins, and a tele-
graphed acceptance from Steve Web
Der, representing Baker, Promoter
Humbert Fugazy has the boxers dated
for a bout in New York August 3.
Another factor in the postponement
was the contract of James Mullen of
Chicago, who has Baker and Mushy
Callahan. junior welterweight cham
pion, programmed for bout there next
Thursday night.
Although Donald previously had
said that Baker had assured him he
would break his Chicago contract, the
Los Angeles fight promoter today de-
clared he had been dilatorv in send
ing Baker his transportation money
and that this had caused the boxer
to decide to so through with the CAL
lahan bout.
The mix.up in contracts was said
to have resulted in the eagerness of
each boxer to sign with a promoter
who had the other fighter signed and
also to the fact that Hudkins has a
New York manager who signed with

WILLS WOULD PROVE
he IS NOT THROUGH
BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Humbert
Fugazy does not agree with those
who think Harry Wills is through
as a headline attraction.
FugaZy went to a lot of trouble
to straighten the differences exist
ing between Pauline and Eddie Mack
of Boston, who wanted the Spaniard
to fight Ed Kelley ad so is cleared
for a Wills Pauline battle over the
15-round route. The fight will take
place at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn
July IS.
The writer had a chat with Harry
Wills and came away impressed by
the sincerity of the big fellow.
1.-THE fans have been too harsh with
me-" says Big Harry. "All this talk
about me bounding Dempsey is just
hearsay. Every one knows l have
gone about my business, taking
matches where I could get them.
You know there were very few of the
boys who would have anything to do
with me and I was forced to fool
around gymnasiums for several years
with the little fellows. could not get
any of the big boys to work with
me and when the Sharkey match
came along paid dearly for it.
Working with little fellows you can
not reach and are afraid to hit does
you no good at all. :.
"Sharkey had an easy time of it
because ! could not get started and
was away off on distance. I offered
no alibi to excuse my poor showing
and yet the fans took it for granted
that I YVES through. Nothing is said
about Dempseys poor showing
against Gene Tunney last year, yet

the big money and possibly another
chance at his old title. Pauline may
be good fighter. / hope so. 1t will
give me chance to show the fans
some of the class that made the
boys steer clear Of me and take my
place with the champions chal-
lengers."
Wills means to use the Pauline
fight as stepping stone to match
with the champion after September's
titular scrap.

JOHNSON. MAY FILL
RESCUE ROLES ONLY

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, July Oval
ter Johnson, not having been so effec
tive since his fine season debut against
the Red Sox in Washington on May
30. may be used as a relief pitcher
instead of starter by Manager
Harris. In all of his efforts since his
brilliant showing on Memorial Day
the veteran has been especially strong
for two or three innings and may prove
quite capable in emergencies If not
kept on the hill any great length OF
time.
johnson did we'll for three innings
against the Yankees in the first game
of the July Fourth double-header. but
weakened in his fourth round. Even
though he struck out two batters
then, he was laced for a flock OF
hits and runs. Garland BraXton be-
gan to show signs Of wear yesterday,
Walter as we'll as Horace Liseubee
was sent to the bull pen. but the
youngster got the call over the veteran
in the pinch.
Now the Yankees are one up on the
Nationals for the season for their
1927 series with Harris club they show
eight victories against seven defeats.
With Yanks on second and third
bases, two out and two runs already
in, Harris ordered Braxton to walk
Collins in the third round yesterday,
the strategy proved sound for Shaw
key grounded to Reeves.
Goslin was charged with an error
when he fumbled LaZZeris hit in the
third and let the batter take another
base. It did not affect the scoring as
Tony's drive was long enough to get
Ruth home from second.
Braxt0n made fashy one'hand
grab of a sizzling grounder to get
Combs at the start of the Yankee
fourth.
Reeves backed up Bluege in brilliant
manner in the fifth when Shawkey
bounded the ball off the third sacker's
gloved hand. The shortstop went back
to the grass for barehanded pickup
and followed with a great retiring
throw.
Judge saved Reeves from an error
in the sixth by stretching nobly to
take a throw from Bob. The short
stop, after scooping up Moreheart's
roller, made terrible heave.
Only a nervy catch by Goslin kept
a hit from Meusel in the seventh
round. The Goose ran squarely into
the concrete front wall of the left field
stand to get under Bob's loft.
