NEW YORK FINANCIER MAROONED MANY DAYS WHEN PLANE IS LOST

After being marconed in the re- mote game fields of the Rainy Pass district for more than two weeks. James A. Stillman, internationally known financier of New York City. was expected to arrive in Anchor age today or within a day or two at the latest, according to advices received by Gov. George A. Parks.
 MT. Stillman has been hunting with guide from the Alaska Guides Association of Anchorage for several weeks. The outfit and hunters were taken to the head waters of the Skwentna River by a aeaplane operating out of Anchor age. This plane and Pilot Mer- Till has been missing for r days.
 It was to have returned for the party several days ago. It was the only plane in the district equip ped with pontoons and the land planes were not able to land in the Rainy Pass country.
 This left the Stillman party high and dry. The difficulty was met when a Fairbanks plane. operated by the same company, circled the Stillman camp and dropped a note telling the hunters to move down to the Skwentna. A boat has bet sent up that stream from Anchor age to pick up the party. It is due to return at any time now.

CUBS TO FACE
CRUCIAL TEST
in NEXT WEEK
Eight Games With Giants
and Robins May Decide
Pennant
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent J

NEW YORK, Aug. "A. U.p)-
Fortified behind an S12 game lead
the Chicago Cubs moved into the
metropolitan area today for eight
lyn Robins and New York Giants,
opening at Ebbets Field today and
closing at the Polo Grounds week
from today.
If the National League leaders
get by these two series in good
shape Can even break will do.
there II be no stopping them until
they get inside the same park with
the Philadelphia Athletics. Then
but that's another story.
For the present the Cubs look as
good as in, but taking a leaf out of
last year 5 baseball history it was
just about this time when the little
Bears started to blow and when the
Cubs blow they blow.
1 Since Joe Mccarthy became man
: ager of the Cubs, his teams have
always finished poorly, principally
because he overworked his pitchers
during mid-season.
Going Fast
The Cubs have been travelling al
a terrific pace during the past
month and are due for a let-down
soon. They have won % out of
their last 80 games, coming from
three games behind the league-lead-
ing Pirates to s1a games in front
of Donie Bush's staggering crew.
Even if slump should hit the
Cubs it.may not alter the National
League race as neither the Pirates
nor Giants have shown any of the
ear-marks of pennant eontenders
during the past month. Injuries to
Pie Traynor and Burleigh Grimes
virtually crushed the Pirates pen
nant hopes Grimes still is out of
the game. The ease of the Giants
is simply the story of wasted eppor-
tunities. The Giants have had their
injuries which is a good enough
alibi but the truth of the matter IS
MeGraw's 1929 team is far short OF
The fearless, fighting teams which
have made National League history.
Brooklyn has helped to ruin the
pennant hopes of two eontenders--
the Giants and Pirates-and 1t Is
now up 10 the Robins to see what
they can do about the Cubs.

LOS ANGELES, Aug, 14-U,D--
Fight fans to the extent of at
least 10000 crowded intos the
Olympic Auditorium here last night
to see song and dance between
two negro battlers-George God
frey, 245 pounds, and Long Tom
Hawkins, 225 pounds.
The big fellows were scheduled
to 90 for 10 rounds for the "colored
heavyweight championship OF the
world.' but the boat did not last
three full rounds.
After several blows which looked
low were struck by both fighters,
Hawkins rolled to the canvas early
in the third and registered agony
in big way.
While Long Tom was rolling
around, Godfrey lounged on the
s5ool in his corner looking like he
believed, or at least hoped, his
workout for the night was over.
The fight was d keen disappoint-
ment to followers of the sport who
had been led to believe that God
frey was "mad about something
and intended to use Long Tom as
a stepping stone to great things in
the fistic world
Few solid blows were struck in
the fight and these came from
Hawkins. Press row believed low
blows were struck by both fighters
with Godfrey the chief offender.
Referee Larry McGrath seemed
more ashamed of the fiasco than
the principals and made hasty
exit from the ring. merely pauS-
ing to give Hawkins hand Il slight
elevation. Most fans missed this
part and were unaware the decision
had been made.
The knowledge of just how the
battle ended was of great import
ance to some individuals and it was
known that some wagered rs high
as TO l that Mr.. Godfrey would
be successful.
