 Mothers Faith Unshallen
 With the dramatic arrival Of Harry Schmidt after his long swim it seemed as if the other three must have perished. All through the night the mother waited and prayed and even went on with her prepara-
 tions of the meal that she felt would still be required when the boys re- | turned.
 T never gave up hope and I knew
 that God would send my boys back, Mrs Schmidt said this morning. "I felt all along that something would | happen to save them. l think l should have known it they had been drowned. While there is no news.
 one must always assume that it means good news. So when they all walked in here this morning, l
 was not surprised, for 1 could not but believe that my prayers would be answered.
 In describing his long swim in the icy water, schmidt said that his one uppermost thought was, to get there."
 This kept drumming in my brain and helped me to swim an easy stroke until I reached the shore. It seemed a hundred miles. l hardly felt the cold however, in my desire to get to shore and bring aid to my friends. l was the best swimmer, so it was up to me. I felt that something would save them. I told them 10 buck up and hang on and it would be all right Eincr Nearly Exhausted Harry Efier was the most exhaust
 ed of the three men when rescued and had to be carried from the boat
 to the lighthouse. The other two were able to walk.
 The two and half hours we
 were clinging to the boat seemed like lifetime said George
 Schmidt We tried to signal to passing craft, butwithout avail. It was a dreadful feeling, clinging to q sinking boat with the shore only | little way off but being unable to make anyone see us. None of lis | felt. however, that we would die. We prayed too. Then we saw the light house keeper wave and launch the boat It was a wonderful piece of work they way they handled their boat in that rough sea. Had it not been for them I do not think we would be alive today

COB SHOULD BE MADE TO
 MEET GRTFFTTHS FIRST

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 15. Gene Tunney, whose retirement from the heavyweight champion ship plunged the fight game into the present state of uncertainty and confusion, believes that his successor is not yet apparent.
 Tunney scoffed at Jack Sharkey's claim of the worlds championship and expressed the hope that it would be some time before new name followed his on the big bronze trophy in Madison Square Garden.
 Gene Not Pleased
 Gene does not feel that Sharkey lis of championship caliber, espec- ially after the affair with Scott. But if Sharkey is to succeed to the vacant title, Tunney wants to see the ex-tar whip some more of the good big men now coming up as contenders.
 The ex-champion expressed the greatest respect for the judgment of William Muldoon, New York State boxing commissioner, in fistlc affairs, but expressed the belief that it would perhaps be unwise to recognize the winner of a Sharkey Schmeling bout as champion of the world.
 At the time when Muldoon so de- clared no such unfortunate ending as that which marred the Sharkey- Scott fight was anticipated, Tunney pointed out.
 Now, however, Tunney feels that Sharkey should be required to beat Tuffy Griffiths, Paolino and other good big men who may challenge him before winning recognition as champion.
 ITO be a real champion worthy of the name, a man should first defeat all the outstanding contend CTS who merit a battle" Tunney said. No man should gain the heavyweight title by claiming it"
 Gene feels that Tuffy Griffiths. or some good strong puncher who would carry the fight to Sharkey, would beat the Bostonian, for whose fistic ability the ex-champion has surprisingly little use.
 Thought Jack Slow
 Tunney said that Sharkey fought
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-03-15

poorly against Scott and believes he could have been more serious about the business of winning.
 That's the biggest event in fighting, the most important thing, said Tunney. Fighters go into the ring with different notions in their heads, some figuring what to do under this or that given circum- stance and looking for the softest way out. The real champion is the man who has just one fixed idea-to keep on fighting until he is counted out unconscious.
 NO really game guy ever heard the count on ten," continued Gene; If he could hear it, he would get up"
 Tunney said he thought Max Schmeling would defeat Sharkey when and if they met, provided the years lay off has not taken too much cut of the German challenger As for Scott, Gene regards him as fair boxer whose heart isn't in the business of fighting to win.

LORD DERBY. UPTON
 BID FOR U. s. HONORS

LONDON, March 15.-England's two greatest living sportsmen will soon be in the United States as challengers in American sporting events.
 Lord Derby is making 3,000-mile trip to Louisville to see his horse try to win the Kentucky Derby while Sir Thomas Lipton is get ting ready to sail his America Cup challenger, Shamrock ", across the Atlantic to participate in the yacht races at Newport, Rhode Island.
 The 79-year- old Irish yacht en- thusiast has made four previous unsuccessful attempts to win the American Cup and the completion of his new challenger marks the expenditure of $2,5O0,00O of his per sonal fortune in trying to regain the $500 trophy for England.
 Lord Derby, whose ancestor gave his name to the great English race FOn EpS0m DOWNS every year, IS the last of the English peers to main tain the old connection between politics and the turf. Last year he headed the list of owners with his turf victories, having won 51 races which netted him some $171,- 57o. He intends to run one of his horses in the Kentucky Derby this year.
 Sir Thomas went to the United States first when he was IT years old He went as a steerage pas senger then but made a fortune in tea and began building yachts. He says his fortune wa smade through advertising his products.

 MUCH DOUGH

NEW YORK, March 15.-If Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling meet here in June for the championship of the world on the milk fund card 40 per cent of the gross receipts must go to the fund, Commissioner William Muldoon said today.
 T think it absurd that two such important events be combined the venerable commissioner said. But if they are, will insist that 40 per cent of the gross goes to the char ity.
 The remaining 60 per cent?

The popular idea about dog-rac- ing apparently is that the grey hounds go into a scramble and the luckiest canine wins; in other words. the element of chance is predominant, with no factor of con- trol, such as jockey exercises in a horse race.
 The surprising situation. as this observer found it, is that the grey hounds appear to employ racing judgment and demonstrate an in- ftinctiye knowledge of tactics equal- ly as effective as anything humanly controlled. For instance, walk around the soft, banked three-siX- tcenths Of a mile track at Miami Beach Kennel Club, after a race there one evening showed clearly how the dogs (eight of them) had jcckeyed along the rail at the turns. then spread out quickly on the stretches to avoid being caught in a jam. The important point is that on the turns the dogs bore inward, though the mechanical rabbit leading them was on the outer rail Racing judgment pre- vailed ever their instinct of the chase.

These racing greyhounds have a competitive life of only about three years, starting when about year old. Few are able to keep up with the pack after four years of age. Slim and sensitive, they develop a keen racing spirit. Many if not most of the best racing dogs are bred in the Far West. Many Colo rado dogs are racing in Florida. Butte, Montana, is the only city in the country with a population of less than a half-million at which the International Greyhound As- sociation operates a track. i.

Tn spite of some difficulties and the operation of so-called outlaw tracks in a number of places, grey hound-racing has developed to a point where it ranks high among the sports attracting the wagering clements of population. The Inter national" which is the nearest thing in the dog-racing game to Jockey Club, or controlling body, operates tracks in Chicago, Butte, St. Louis, Miami Beach and several parts of England. The sport flourished in England long before it developed and following in this country.
 The Florida dog track this year side-stepped the anti-g m b l i g drive by the novel method of the corporation system" whereby the buyer of each stock certificate corresponding to mutuel ticket, was entitled to at least nominal refu-id. In other words, even a losing ticket was redeemed to five per cent. of it's value, so the trans action was involved and the law, technically, not violated.
