TAUNTS MADE YOUTH
 SWIMMING CHAMPION

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 20.- Taunts and jibes of his fellows made a champion swimmer out of Johnny Osipowich.
 Two years ago, Johnny's only claim to distinction was that he was the brother of Albina Osipo- wich, who was smashing records right and left at New England swimming meets.
 In self defense, the 17-year-old youth joined the Worcester Boys club and went in for swimming in earnest. In his first meet, held in the Merrimac river, he nearly froze but led the field to the fin ish mark. Then followed more training, minor meets and addi- tional jeers from his friends after sister Albina won the Olympic championship for the 100-meter free style swim.
 But the indoor season of 1923-29 saw Johnny grabbing New England championships and breaking es- tablished records, even as his sis ter was doing.
 Nov Johnny is a champion in his own right, holding the New England title for the 44O, s80 and mile. This summer he set new mark for the 40 doing the dis tance in 6 minutes 3 3-5 seconds.

 Gomez has been on the Seals foe three years and never had his pie ture in the newspapers until last spring. The Seals were going bad- ly. Gomez seized his opportunity to tell Nick Williams that he could only lose the game by starting him, but it took Williams about . month tc decide to give the kid southpaw: chance to hurl.
 When he did, Gomez made good and became the toast of the town
 Under bad support, it is said, he never wits. He keeps pitching hard all the time and though 21 years of age, he is willing to do his chores in the bull pen
 Gomez has two older brothers who weigh about 190 pounds and if he follows the family trait he will add twenty pounds to his frame in a couple of years.

US anything put qulet along Ine far western athletic fronts. This observer can testify to that after visiting the main sectors of action from Seattle, down through Port land, San Francisco, Del Monte and Los Angeles.
 The general impression has been that the Pacific Coast has con- tributed more than an ordinary share to the gayety of sports com- petition in the last few years but out there, you are assured the big battle has just begun, that the shock troops are just coming up.
 Helen Wills has just come back a worlds champion for the third year in a row, disposing of any debate so far as women's tennis is concerned. And though Maury Mclaughlin is now a golfer, Little Bill Johnson is in retirement, there are number of youthful stars of championship promise to keep the coasts banner around the front.
 The amateur golf talent has had it's joust with the bunkers of Peb- ble Beach in the first national ama- teur championship ever held west of St. Louis. The professional stars will gather for their own title quest at Santa Barbara n Decem- ber, thereby giving California two of the four big tournaments of 1929.
 Los Angeles has begun prepara- tions for the Olympic games of 1882 on a scale that will dwarf any of the previous conventions of the worlds athletics Around lO0,- OOG may watch the main event.
 In football, California goes east for the first time to play Pennsyl- vania in October.
 Palo Alto is preparing for one of the greatest gridiron tussles of the year when Red Cagle romps in with his Army mates to play Stanford.
 The Army Stanford clash on De- cenber 28 will allow just enough time for the experts to dash down to Pasadena for New Years Day Classic and another charge against the far western ramparts.

 Herbert graduated from the Hydaburg grammar school and spent three years at the Seattle Broadway High School. He re- presented the finest type of young manhood and whose place cannot be filled.

month operations there were be-

gun.
 One estimate of Southeast Alaska cured herring produc- tion to the end of July was 2,000 half barrels, and the quality was admittedly indifferent.
 The situation in Southeast Alaska is so severe as to give rise to serious misgivings. While there is still ample time for pro- Guction Of a substantial pack, if the herring strike in with in- creased volume and greatly inn proved quality, distinct uneasi- ness is manifest over the outlook foe the season A number of reasons are advanced to account for the scarcity and poorness of the fish and it appears certain that the inclement weather has had the effect of substantially reducing the catches. Fisher men have reported the fish abundant off-shore, although it is clear whether such fish are of oesireable quality.
 A survey of reports from the principal packers of herring in Southeast Alaska fails to show a single instance in which the production runs more than a small fraction of that for the corresponding period of last year. Some large plants had not packed a single barrel to August 1. One operator, whose 1928 pack ranked among the largest in the district, on July 25 had only 38 barrels where a year before his pack ran we'll ov-urepor tedst n wtwd, shrdm ever 2,O00 barrels. Most of the cases are not so marked, but there are a few instances where the pack to the end of July was more than 10 per cent of that to the same date in 1928.
