ALL IN SAME BOAT

The fishing industry of Alaska may be likened to the hand and fingers. The fingers are all differ ent but they come from the same stalk. The interests of the halibut fishermen, the herring fishermen, the seiners, the trollers, may all be diff ferent. When the trollers fight the prostitution of herring fisheries, th.. halibutmen indifferently shrug their shoulders and say it is no fight of theirs when the seiner tries to in- terestt the allied fisheries in their fight against the traps, they get the cold shoulder, and so on with the story.
 Last year the earnings of trollers were curtailed by lack of feed in the waters for king salmon; the hall butmen, lost thousands of dollars because they were unable to secura bait and to operate.
 When trolling is real slack in the summer months, the trciler goes seining; when prices are poor the halibutmen go trolling or they go seihing The herring fisher, for bat has to lay up his gear 0 rgo on small! production and the seiner makes room for all.
 ]. behOoves all the fishermen to look the issues sQarely and bend their effort toward making conditions better throughout the tntire indus try.
 United we stand, divided, we fall" proper conservation of the fisheries will mean money in the pockets of all-concerned.

SAN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Tyrus
Cobb in his Tiger days topped the
batsmen Of the American league for
n total of ~ seasons he started
something Of a tradition that Detroit
players aren't going to give up with
out a struggle.
That unwritten rule that the bat

/ outfieid has been upheld even though
Cobb is now with another club. and
the battle to keep the honor there
will be an interesting Sidelight Of
the pennant race. The records show
Detroit has gained the crown II times
in the 25 years the club has been in
the league-more times than all the
other clubs put together.
Harry Heilmann has been the heir
apparent to the honors that were
Cobb's, winning the title four times
every other year since l92l-while
Heinie Manush rose to the occasion
in 1926. Heilmann's victories all
have come in odd years and accord
ing "a that way OF figuring he isn't
due this season. He doesn't see II
that way.
Heilmann carried off the crown

wallopci out the amazing total Of
two home runs, three doubles and
two singles for seven hits in nine
times up while Simmons was making
two in five az Washington.
Heilmann. although "a, has re-
ported ~ prime condition armed with
2 dozen new bats and the ambition
70 repeat this season. Another year
~ the top would give him five
championships and a clear claim TO a
record second only to that Of Cobb.
His present record Of four champion
ships has been equalled by only one
other American League player, Ma
poleon Lajoic.
Even If Heilmann should falter.
the Detroit outfield may still pro-
lace the batting king.
