HeadLess Skeletons May Be Victims Ot Murderer

CORDOVA, Alaska, Oct 22-The theory is advanced here that the two headless human skeletons found on the shores of Shelikof Straits, 20 miles southwest of Kanatak, are the missing victims of Robert Davis, Umatilla Indian, who confessed last spring to a triple murder in that vicinity. He was sentenced to 15 years at McNeil Island for second degree murder.

in the district, the cut this season is slightly under the five-year aver age and there was some curtailment of logging operations, MT. zeller said. The outlook for next year seems promising for the loggers. AL ready some applications have been received for timber for logs for fish traps. No new applications for saw timber are expected for some time as cutting is still in progress on several tracts already under contract.
 Ketchikan conditions are about normal, MT. Zeller said. One saw mill is still operating. The canneries had good packs, and fishermen ex- perienced a prosperous season.

LEADING
MAGNET

MIAMI BEACH, Feb. 14.-with
so many advance skirmishes be-
fore the big parade of heavy
weights here February 27 when
Jack Sharkey, of Boston, battles
the Briton, Phil Scott, fans today
found it difficult to make a close
study of all the elephantine en-
tries.
Sharkey'S training quarters, 10.
Gated at the Miami Beach Ken
mel Club on the edge of the At
lantic where the palm-fringed
strand meets the Sun-kiSSed surf,
is attracting the most customers.
The fans pay so cents each to
watch the talkative Bostonian in
workouts.
Scott is training at the
American Legion arena, three
miles away, across the cause
way on the mainland In
Miami proper.
At Coral Gables, some IL miles
distant. is the training camp OF
Vittorio Campolo, the huge Ar
gentine gaucho, who can skin
and dissect a calf ready for cook
ing in seven minutes. Campolo
meets Johnny Risko, of Cleveland,
in one of the bouts supporting
the Scott-Sharkey fight. Risko
is establishing his camp at Holly
wood-by-the-Sea, which is 20 miles
up the coast.
Tommy Loughran, who resigned
his worlds light heavyweight
title, Is training in the baseball
park at West Palm Beach, 60
miles removed. Loughran boxes
Pierre Charles.
Raoul Bianci, Argentine. light
heavyweight, who clashes with
Wild Bill Daring, will train at
the Colon Boxing Arena in
Havana, which is only an over
night boat jump away.
It was reported today Sharkey
was considerably irked by reports
from his camp that his advisors
and handlers were worried be-
cause he was following his own
wishes in boxing frequently in
stand-up style, with leverage
wholly on the left foot in order
to land smacking rights. Sharkey
said he would discharge whoever
was responsible for the report.
The BOStOneSe boxed two
rounds yesterday against
Pierre Charles and may de-
eide not to use the gloves at
all today.
Scott continued his strenuous
training campaign, boxing eight
rounds. Jack Renault gave the
Englishman some good exercise,
catching him several times with
left hooks to the body, while
Jack Demave clipped Scott on the
jaw and almost upset him through
the ropes.

By FORD c. FRICK

NEW YORK. Feb. 14.-John
MeGraw's veteran infielders have
formed hold-out union!
No fooling! Word of it reached
here yesterday from fellow
who's really in the know-one
of the infielders himself to be
exact. And, according to this
bright young man, so firm in
the agreement between Terry.
Lindstrom and jackson that no
one of the three will sign until
the others have been satisfied.
That, if they go through with
It is a serious thing. The ball
club has always had an advan-
tage over the players because the
athletes have worked as individ.
uals. A ball club can do without
the man or two.
But when three or four
of them-all stars and all
yeterans-get together as q
unit, then it's serious indeed.
The Giant offices. very natur-
ally, have no official knowledge
of the three-man compact. All
they know is that none Of the
three have signed, and that in
Terry's case, they haven't had so
much as a scratch of the pen in
exclamation.
Lindstrom and Jackson are
doing little more talking-but
they're just as reticent with their
penmanship as is Memphis Will.
If the three young men persist
In their combine it will be
tough spot for the Giants. Nc
Graw has no substitutes who can
capably fill the shoes of the three
fecalcitrants.
A Giant ball club without Terry,
Jackson and Lindstrom would be
like an italian supper party with
out spaghetti. And SO far as
Terry and Lindstrom are con
cerned, in particular, there is no
evidence of weakening. They're
two very stubborn young men,
and they're willing to battle t"
the finish.
Jackson may not be quite
IS firm-but the urgings Of
the other two may keep
Stoney in line until they &C
complish their aim.
Iindstrom is particularly bitter.
Down in Miami he informed some
Of the newspaper men that his
contract for the coming year had
been cut and that he would never
sign at the figure offered. AS a
matter of fact, Freddy is anxious
to be traded. He hasn't got
along particularly well with the
Giant management for a couple
Of seasons and wants to get away.
Anrhow. it's an interesting
situation.
It's the first time in baseball
history that there has ever been
an organized "holdout" move
ment, and other players will
watch the thing with considerable
interest. If the Giant infielders
are able to get away with it, you
can look for a lot more informal
organizations" next season. And
Q lot more trouble for the mag
mates, too; for there's a lot more
strength in an organization than
there is in individual argument.

FOXES EAT MEAT
 MILLION YEARS N
 GLACIER STORAGE:
PREHISTORIC ANIMAL AT GLACIER ISLAND STILL
 MYSTERY

The following interesting ac- count of the strange, prehistoric animal from Columbia Glacier on Glacier Island, and which was cut up for fox feed before scientists had opportunity to see it, was written to Frank c. Wink Ter, chief of the local Signal Corps by radio operator at Val deg.
 Guess you heard about that So-called prehistoric animal they found down on Glacier Island formerly Buck Hoyt's fox farm, It was evidently released from Columbia Glacier and drifted on the island, frozen solid. It had, no doubt, been laying in the ice in a twisted shape, like a horseshoe, as the tail and head seemed to have been exposed to the action of the water or ele- ments and the flesh taken off and part of the bones on both eXtremities broken or worn off, the middle section was very well
