 Wins for Douglas

After the Hilltoppers, playing with subs, had held the Dougla5 All-Stars in line for two quarters two regulars were sent in for the subs and the Island team ran away from the locals, winning the contest by score of 30 to 16.
 Some unusual shooting was made last night by cagers on each quintet. Playing was about on a par. but the Douglas boys brought their shooting eyes along and had little trouble finding the hoop. Bonner was high point man of the game with five field goals and two conversions to his credit.
 The first quarter was repeti- ton of opening periods of nearly all the games the Hilltoppers have played this season. Playing was not fast and shooting was exceed ingly poor on both sides. McCor. mick put short one through shortly after the quarter opened Juneau's only score came just at the end of the quarter when J. Orme sank short one. Score, Juneau 2, Douglas 2.
 Bonner converted on a free throw and paved the way for a five-point lead for the Islanders for Mccormick sank a short one and Tom Cashen made a phenom- enal shot from more than half the length of the floor from the hoop. J. Orme managed to sink two short ones in succession, one be ing an overhead shot. one-armed. J. Cashen, running along the IT, foot line, tossed one-arm shot over his. head and the ball went neatly through the hoop. J.

HEAVY SHOES MAKE VENzKE

PHILADELPHIA. March g. There is only one way to become a good runner, and that is to wear a pair of heavy shoes in training lead soles, if possible.
 The slender youth to whom this. tip was given by the village sage of Boyertown, Pa, is Gene Venzke regarded by track critics hers- abouts as one of the best in the country today. He remarks rath- CT timidly that he hopes to be 2 member of tho Olympic team and run in the 10 000-meteri race,
 A few nights ago venzke won the miss-and-out race at the an- nual Meadowbrook indoor meet here which attracted star athletes from many parts of the country. He ran twelve laps in 1 minutes. 57 seconds in pair of shoes that were no better than grandpa's old slippers. The track is eleven laps to the mile.
 Soon after receiving the tip on training Venzke had all the yil- lagers in Boyertown asking where the fire was. Daily he sped up and down the streets with--a pair of his fathers heaviest shoes lash ed to his feet Mothers cautioned their sons not to try to follow that wild Venzke boy for The will surely drop dead in the streets

He said he was confident that the Democrats by sticking to- gether could elect their next legis- lative ticket. The same as tho former speaker, he paid a glowing tribute to Al Smith as man fit for presidential office.
 Albert Vile next spoke and said he had travelled all over the terri tory and believed the time never looked better for a Democratic success.
 eff we put good men in the field we can elect them," he said, "for the people are anxious for a change"
 What Walker Said
 N. R. Walker said that with progressive constructive platform and the right kind of candidates selected to run on it, he was satis fled Ketchikan district would give the Democrats strong vote. He said there had been reference to the Indian vote, but declared that the Indians were 100 percent pro- ducers and intelligent and would vote right if candidates were honest with them and got the real facts be- fore them. He said the Republicans had been feeding them on promises and that they have been sufferers instead of benefciaries.
 Mr. Walker said he had himself run for office and been defeated but he held no rancor on that ac- count and advised appealing to the natives for their franchise upon bedrock principles the same as making an appeal to any American citizen. He said he believed that if this was done and it could be shown that the Democrats had constructive program to offer which safeguarded interests of the people
