CONDITIONS IN
 INT ERIOR AND WEST IMPROVED
Garfield Says Steady I'm provement Noted in
 Business, Industry

Business and industrial conditions
 I western and interior Alaska are 'etter than normal, improvement
 I the tone of both being shown $ a general rule, declared Charles |. Garfield, Manager of the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce who arrived here today on the steamer Yukon. He has visited all of the communities on the Alaska Railroad, Prince Will liam Sound, and covered the coun- try from Fairbanks to the coast over the Richardson Highway.
 The most noted recent addition to industry west of here was the Eklutna hydro-electric power plant which is now in operation, MT. Gar field said. The plant is now fur nishing electric current to Anchor age and other nearby towns.
 WILL AID MINING
 Power from this source is ex- pected to make possible mining and milling of lower grade ores in the Willow Creek district than is now possible, MT. Garfield was in- formed A considerable volume of ore, not now recoverable because of high operating costs, will become available when cheaper power can be obtained. It is planned to transmit power from the Eklutna plant to the district for that pur- pose.
 Anchorage has experienced it's best year since the war, MT. Gar field said Business has been ex- cellent. A number of substantial new houses, mainly residences, were built during the summer. The Western Alaska Fair held recently was the most successful in the his tory of Anchorage. MT. Garfield delivered the opening address at the Fair.

Tommy Loughran may furnish no lurid fireworks but if he gets by Jack Sharkey in their Septem- Der 26 engagement he will be dis tinctly in the forefront of con- tenders for the vacated cham pionship. Loughran had plenty of endurance at 175 pounds. He can pack on ten more pounds to ad- vantage and make no concessions to any rival, for the Philadelphian is unquestionably the cleverest and fastest of any of the big fellows. He won't be 27 until this Novem- Der. Tunney was 28 when he beat Dempsey for the title.
 Victoria Compolo, the Argentine sensation, has a moderate amount of skill, terrific body punch and plenty of courage in his 223 pounds distributed over a frame of six and half feet In victories over DeKuh and Heeney, the South American impressed critics as being more formidable than the loudly ballyhooed but temporarily exiled German puncher, Max Schaeling.

I recall quite wildly Firpo's dis play of raw courage in his first main test here. It was against Old Bill Brennan in the original Madison Square Garden in 1923. Bill was just a trial horse, but a tough one. For ten rounds he beat Firpo unmercifully The Argentine was gory mass. In the eleventh, however, Firpo felled Brennan with a right hand punch that descend ed with the power of pole--ax. Bill went down like a log.
 Several critics intimated that Brennan took a dive" in the in terest of the Firpo ballyhoo. The next day Bill was in a hospital with brain concussion. He did not live long afterward.

While fewer men are employed in mining operations in the Fair banks district this season than for several years past, due to the transition from construction to production by the Fairbanks Ex- ploration company, the industry it. self is on a sound basis. The com pany's dredges are operating and recoveries are said to be satisfac- tory.
 The district has had a wet sea- son which benefited the placer mines generally. furnishing them with ample water for their opera tions. The small quartz mines are reported to have had an excellent year. It is believed in the Fair banks section that the Fairbanks Exploration company will turn it's attention to the lode mining field in the near future, and there is hope that lode mining will be greatly enlarged by it's operations.
 Building Mcoring Field
 Preparations for the Graf zep- pelin landing field at Fairbanks are well under way, MT. Garfield said. One hundred acres of land has been purchased from P J Rickert, whose homestead adjoins the town, and will be added tc the present landing field. This is now being cleared and grading will be done as soon as possible. This work is under the direction of

WHITE SOX PURCHASE
 TWO DALLAS HOPEFULS

DALLAS, Sept. 19.-The Chicago White Sox, always combing the Texas league for choice talent, picked off two of the circuit s plums in Jimmy Moore, slugging Dallas outfielder, and Victor Fraz- fer, youthful speedball artist.
 Together the promising pair brought around $50000.
 Frazier, only 20 and pitching his first full season of class A ball, has been a mainstay of the Dallas mound staff Moores heavy hit ting placed him at the top of the loop with .38O average.

Sharkey, in addition to Schmeling and possibly Phil Scott, there will be material enough to keep the heavyweight division lively this winter, in New York as we'll as Miami, Detroit, Boston and Chi cago.
 There seems no apparent reason to include Young Stribling in the picture, yet the agile Georgian boy again may represent the South in the next Battle Of the Freezes in Florida. Stribling has tossed away too many chances to crash the heavyweight gate to be given much consideration, but for that matter so has Sharkey, still fumbling for recognition.
 For sheer, raw courage the come back of Campolo is a remarkable as anything his famous predecessor Luis F'irpo, ever turned in. Com polo, a crude beginner, was knock ed out by Monte Mum, the ex- Nebraska collegian and legislator, at Buenos Aires in May, 1928. Within a few seconds after the match started, Campolo was stretch on the canvas after a smashing blow to the head. He took nine count, got up and managed to weather the storm un- til the ninth round in spite of a terrific battering. The big Argen- tine spent the next six months in hospital Brain hemorr- hages were caused by Munn's first punch. But apparently it takes more than that to discour- age Campolo, who went right back to the ring, scored four knockouts and then set sail for th- United States.

When Jack AfcAuliffe took. up with
Maryland the possibility of the two uni

fact. the Marylanders have lot Of re-

Major interest, of course, in the re-
sumption of athletics between the two
schools naturally centers in when they
may play foot ball. but this simply re-
solves itself into the one fact that
Maryland has so many definite COM
mittments already in this sport that 1t
is having great difficulty in fulfilling
them The question Of a foot ball game
was not taken up in the conference in
which meetings in track, basket ball
and base ball were arranged. but Mary

The majority Of people familiar
with the situation between them
have felt that the reason for the
failure to schedule games the fol-
lowing year was due to some mat
tiers Of eligibility in connection
with Catholic us foot ball team
of that year. AS matter Of fact,
nothing was further from the
actual truth. The Brookland school
met every possible eligibility re-
ouirement, even to the extent of
virtually disrupting its foot ball
team to do so.
The actual situation that developed
came about, indirectly, from the open
ing of Catholic US stadium. In 1928
when Maryland dedicated its new ath-
letic field It did so with the Catholic
U. game The following Spring Mary
land was given to understand that 1t
would be invited to play at Brookland
on the occasion Of the opening of the

But when c. U. dedicated its field it

about that and simply did not schedule
