SAN ANTONIO. Tex, February az
When the main body of New York
Giants gets here the new arrivals will
find the pitchers and catchers far ahead
OF them in the Spring training grind.
Except for one day, McGraw's bat
terymen have been cavorting in the
sunshine daily since they arrived, and
even the veterans are beginning to cut
loose with fast ones.
An elongated youngster from the
West Texas oil fields, Olin Hi" Haven
reported yesterday. Haven, right
handler, weighs 1870 pounds and stands
six feet three. He has q good record
among the semi-pros.
Bill Stepp, University OF Alabama

infield tryout, looks good In practice.
The veteran John Scott Is working
out with bandage on one hand. He
cut the hand while killing hogs on his

CUBS PLAY FIRST GAME
OF PRESEASON DRIVE

AVALON, SANTA CATALINA IS
LAND, Calf, February 22 (P).--
The Chicago Cubs have played their
first game of the 1929 season.
Continuing to harden the Cub
pitchers and catchers, Manager Joe
Mccarthy yesterday ordered a game
to wind up the days workout. Cap
tanned on one side by Pat Malone
and the other by "Gabby" Hartnett,
the practice contest wound up with
a score of to 5 in favor of MaIOne's
team.
Hal Carlson, right-handed regular,
pitched what approximated three in
nings. Each side was allowed six
putOuts per inning. Joe Bush and
Art Nehf, two other veterans of the
Cubs hurting staff, finished.
Carlson appears to be coming
through in great shape, and the idea
was prevalent that he is getting back
to his old form. The Atlanta rookie,
Tom Angley, gave the audience few
thrills in the way he swung on the
pellet, making several good drives.
Angley held a batting average of
1886 last year with Atlanta.

Lands looks for the 1929 sea-
~ son to be the most interesting
and hard-fought Of any since
he became officially connected with base
ball. Fans can be confident OF plenty
of excitement.
At the same time, Judge Lands
pointed out today that there is peace
among the players both of the major
leagues and of the minor leagues.
Judge Lands is In sole charge Of the
world series and there is nothing more
entertaining to him than to have both
leagues fight down to the last minute
before championship is won.
The 1929 season will begin with the
major leagues more of an attraction by
reason of changes in the personnel of
the clubs.
"They certainly have changed" Judge
Lands remarked. And he thinks that
the changes have been wise. Hence the

TT r will be interesting" says one or
- the younger generation, Ito see
how the first big heavyweight
4 fight in the South gets by"
The first big heavyweight
fight in the South? What about
Fitchburg, Miss. around July. 1887? At
that spot a pair of fairly well known
heavyweights by the name of John
Lawrence Sullivan and Jake Kilrain
fought some rs rounds, and, according
to my old friend Otto Floto, who was
present, quite bit of fighting took
place.
AS for the first big heavyweight fight
in the South, how about the affair at
New orleans in September, 1892? On
that date another pair fairly well
known to the public met under the
names of John L. Sullivan and James
portant heavyweight battle ever set in
motion 1t will do until another comes
along. 1t failed to build up any
81 ,000,0 gate, but it was the most de-
cisive and the most spectacular upset
of them all, and is still discussed after
the lapse of 81 years. James j. Corbett
who played the star role In that last
encounter, will be at the ringside when
Sharkey and Stribling meet in the bat
BILE of the palms and pines, where the
pines furnish the grandStand and the
palms supply the exterior decorations.
One might also mention the clash
between Fitzsimmons and Maher in
Texas or the brief epic between Cor
bett and Mitchell in Jacksonville,
but the first two cases will stand up
we'll enough as evidence that heavy
weights of some prominence have
met before on Southern soil.
1t is far cry from Fitchburg, Miss,
to Miami Beach, Fla 1t is at least
far something, apart from the merely
temporal matter of 40 years The two
fighters, meaning Sullivan and Kilrain,
and about 400 spectators lodged and
ducked the sheriffs of two States to put
on that show. They scrambled from
town to town under sun that sublet
temperature of los degrees, but they
stuck it out until John L. and Jake
finally found a quiet anchorage in the
little Mississippi hamlet, and then went
to work for over four hours before "the
Grand Old Tub from Boston" applied
the finishing assault.
There will be a different set of tour
lists at Miami Beach next week. The
means of transportation have changed
just bit in AZ years. In place of
walking or riding horseback or seeking
their way on slow train they are COM
ing by airplane, fast motor boats, fast
trains, motor cars, motor buses and by
steamship. Several airships already
have been chartered from Nassau on
to the west coast of Florida, and the

WALKER AND WILLIS
TO BATTLE TONIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO. February "a
Two mighty punchers of the middle
weight class, Mickey Walker, the cham
pion, and Jack Willis, San Antonio,
Tex, cowboy, battle here this afternoon
in a 10-round bout, which, If not OF
title significance, at least holds the
promise of a great Suggest.
The pair met here year ago in
non-title affair and traded blows from
start to finish.
Both fighters have been In training
several weeks and are in good conditic<.
for the bout which Willis hopes will
definitely establish him as leading
challenger for the 160-pound title.
Walker, casting eyes at the light heavy
weight crown, necessarily must make
good showing. He is to meet Tommy
Loughran for the 175-pound title in
Chicago next month.

Municipal Ownership Declining.
(NeW York TimeS.)

The latest statistics relating to municipaly own ed electric light and power plants, quoted in The American City, not likely to satisfy either side in controversy over public ownership In 1922 there were 2,581 municipal establishments. The of 1927, summary of which is now available, shows that during the fveyear interval the total dropped to 2198. This IS per cent decrease is not great a falling off of the advocates of private ownership had predicted, but it holds little agement for their opponents. It is in strong con- trast to the trend during the twenty years from 1902 to 1922, when the number of municipal plants trebled. To be sure, Kansas and Nebraska have carried the banner of municipal ownership forward during the past five years, registering notable gains but the trend has been the other way, and even North Dakota and Wisconsin are listed among the backsliders
 In the which may be said to have closed with the year 1922, municipal development had it's principal in the need of communities out of reach of existing privately operated central stations With the enormous expansion of the electric light industry this motive is less compelling. Intercon- nection has brought in it's train benefits with which the isolated municipal plants finds it difficult to compete Public utility propaganda has been doubly
 effective when backed by ample funds for the pur- chase of municipal plants War experience tended to discredit the cause of public ownership
 The figures show however that the municipal
 plant is still factor to be reckoned with even
 though it supplies less than per cent of the total
 power output of the country Most of the municipal plants-Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle and Tacoma are exceptions-supply small cities Isolated small
 towns which not good prospects for the commer- cla enterprise will still seek the benefits of electric service on their own initiative and even in the larger communities public ownership may be jus tilted where private initiative has proved fathess or public regulation incompetent. But in these days of broad interconnecton, when the benefits of private operation widely accepted the trend
 wherever regulation is effective, is likely to con- tinue against the municipal plant

THE CLOCK DANCE By Mary Graham Bonner

The Indian chief was paintino his face with all sorts of bright colors. He was adding more feath- CTS to his costume. The feathered 1 head dress he wore hung way down his back.
 The squaw was painting dots of red and yellow over her face and the children were painting their faces, too.
 Now they began painting the faces of John and Peggyl This was certainly wonderful.
 Only the little black clock did not have it's face painted.
 The little black clock was to be honored by the dance.
 "Oh, small, but wonderful clock, {" said the chief, you have accepted the magic offered to you. No long, CT do you have to tell the ordinary time. You can turn it to any time you wish.
 Tt is to you, small but wonder full clock, we arc going to do hon. or with a dance special for you!"
 And now they all rushed out of the tepee. John and Peggy did not know what part they were to take in the dance, but as the Indians started beating a drum it made everyone want to leap and jump.
 The little black clock took a place not far from the tepee, where he sat.
 Other Indians joined them, and all about the little magic clock they danced.
 "A ee-oh-ee -oh-ee-o -oh," they sang.
 The drum was being beaten more and more quickly.
 "Ah-ee- -ee-oh," shouted John and Peggy.
 They jumped, then hopped, they took great steps and then little steps. And all the time the drum was being beaten with more force, then more softly.
 "Ah-oh- -oo-ee," clock of mighty timel Clock of al the years! Clock of good luck!" cried the chief.
 The clock was lowing low now. John and Peggy were lowing low. The Indians were saying goodby to them. The dance was over, but they had been invited to come back again some day.
 The chief ordered horses to be brought-h orses with handsome saddles, and decorated, too.
 But the little black clock said one horse would do So the clock and Peggy and John rode off over the prairie while the Indians sang song.

A Quarantine for Wet States.
(NeW York World.)

In debating the prohibition question with Gov ernor Ritchie at the Virginia Institute of Public A1falrs Stanley High, editor of the Christian Herald not only insisted that the Eighteenth Amendment imposes an obligation upon every State to enforce It, but he went further and declared that "the State, like the citizen, has one of two courses open either to cooperate in making the policy effective or De quarantlned in detention camp and denied the benefits accruing from the Constitution which the States has refused to support"
 This is novel contribution not only to tbe theory of enforcement but even to the broader 1ied or constitutional law. It is regrettable that MT High did not explain in detail how State is to be put into detention camp and whether the drys Tn that State are to be quarantined alono With the vets or whether there is first to he 2 separation of the sheep from the goats He pro Ieses great reverence for the Constitution h,,t i, aoVocatlng his fantastic mode of group punishment ne overooks the fact that this instrument stimulates that the citizens of each State shall he entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the eral States" The penalty he would mete out to wet states does violence in dozen ways to the constitution which he wrongly acuses them of vio lating when they do not cooperate in the exac,,- tion of the Vostead Act
 But further along in his argument Mir rY,, makes statement which may account for h;s bizarre views When it comes to States and r;obts and things like that he says "the averooe c;tia, IS simply lost" He has proved conclusivelv that he is an average citizen ''

LAKE DOROTHY POWER SITE.

The Department of Agriculture has issued pr ulletin covering the discovery of Lake Dorot V the Alaska Aerial Survey Expedition, and COT ,enting not only upon the importance of the d overy but upon the importance of the work bel rosecuted by the expedition The bulletin W sued August 27 and is as follows;
 A power site of more than 10000 horse power has been discovered in the Tongass National Forest, Southeast Alaska, by the Alaska Aerial Survey Expedition now work ing in that region according to informa- tion telegraphed to the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture in Washington The aerial survey is expected to prove extremely valuable in connection with power development for the manufacture of wood pulp on the Tongass Forest. The power site just discovered, is on the east side of Taku Inlet near Greedy Point.
 Lakes streams and other important topo- graphic features of the Tongass Forest, the existence of which hitherto has not been known have been revealed by the survey of the forest from the air.
 Before the aerial survey expedition began its work none of the greater part of the land surface of Southeast Alaska had ever been surveyed. The shore lines of the islands and the mainland had been delineated, but farther inland the maps were largely blank, even within mile of tidewater. In 1926 a total of 10000 square miles was mapped. The work is now being continued this sum- mer. It is anticipated that an equal area will be covered in 1929 and this will com plete the work to be done in this region.
 Cloudless weather is essential to aero- photographic mapping and much time is lost because this region is one of the heavy precipitation and numerous rainy cloudy days. In spite of these handicaps the ex- petition is accomplishing work that would take years by the usual ground" methods of surveying in this rugged, inaccessible re- gion
 The Navy Department, the Geological Service are cooperating in the aerial mapping project. The work is being done with Navy planes and the Navy mine sweeper "Gannet" is acting as tender for the expedition.
 The need for accurate maps of South east Alaska is imperative in connection with prospecting and mining, commercial fishing, lumbering, water power development, and industrial utilization of the resources of the region in general. The extended investiga- ton of timber and water power resources now being made as a preliminary step in the prospective establishment of a paper making industry in Alaska has greatly &C., centuated this need. The Tongass Na- tional Forest contains a vast amount of pulp timber enough to supply 25 per cent of the newsprint needs of the United States in perpetuty.
 Under Forest Service administration this timber will be cut no faster than it grows so that the industry, once established in AL aska, will have an unfailing source of supply.

NEW YORK CITY AND PROHIBITION
 ENFORCEMENT.

Federal Prohibition Administrator Campbell of New York recently transmitted to New York Police Commissioner Whalen what he characterized as evil dence gathered by his agents of the existence of 32,000 speakeases in New York He called the New York City officials attention to the circumstance that the speakeasies operating in violation of the New York State statutes, and asked him to enforce the laws Commissioner Whalen returned the so-called evidence to Administrator Campbell and told him that if he could not enforce the Federal Prohibition laws in his district he ought to report the fact to his superiors in his own department and not to a New York City official He called the Prohibition Administrators attention to the fact that Congress had appropriated $36, 100000 for the enforcement of Prohibition
 Commenting upon the incident for the press Commissioner Whalen said that it would require
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-09-20

5000 additional policemen if New York City were to undertake the enforcement of Prohibition and would add s15O0OoOO to the annual municipal budget In addition, it would be an unpopular expenditure in New York where the people are overwhelmingly opposed to Prohibition.
