The New York Yankees were the first club to start the re- building process, purchasing Saltsgaver, a second baseman, from the St Paul American Asso- citation for 1892 delivery. Since that time three National league teams have mare major transac- tions.
 Chicago purchased Herman of Louisville, a second baseman, while Brooklyn bought Denny Southern, outfielder, from Baltimore. The New York Giants yesterday an- nounced the purchase of Leonard Koenecke, outfielder, from In- dianapolis.
 High Price Tag.
 The acquisition of Koenecke, who is hitting around .37 in the American Association, is believed to be the first step of Manager John McGraw toward a complete reorganization. It is known that the veteran pilot has been dissat- isfied with the performances of some of his players this season.
 The Giants will send Indianapolis several players whose aggregate value total. s7,000 in exchange for Koenecke.
 The Philadelphia Athletics and St Louis Cardinals, who have all but clinched the American and National league pennants, respec- lively this season, have thus far failed to acquire any new talent. There is general feeling, how ever, that both clubs are strong enough. The Cardinals have strings attached to a half a dozen promising players and at least one of them-Dizzy Dean, Houston pitcher-is considered ripe for the majors.
 Another For Lefty.
 Only three games were played in the majors yesterday. The Ath- 1etics retained their ten game lead in the American league by whip ping Detroit, to 1. Lefty Grove victory and hisetaoinshrdlucmfw registered his 14th consecutive victory and his 23d win of the sea- with eight hits.
 The second place Washington Senators kept pace with to 0 decision over Chicago. Marberry let the White Sox down with three hits.
 Boston defeated St Louis 4 to in the other contest. Two sin gles and a base on balls account ed for the Red Sox's winning tally in the eight inning.

BILLY PETROLLE
 DETESTS TRAINING
 IN COUNTRY GYMS

Billy Petrolle has a lot of odd ideas. The so-called Fargo Ex- press prefers the stuffy, ill-smell- ing quarters of a city gymnasium, even in the city to the fine open spaces that the outdoor camps provide. He's now at Gus Will sons Orange, N. Y. camp but doesn't give a hang about it. He would rather be in New York at his old Pioneer club headquarters.
 To satisfy his whim, Manager Jack Hurley will let Billy stay at Orangeburgh until the latter part of the week and then let him come back to New York to finish train ing for the ten round bout with Jimmy McLarnin, which takes place in the Yankee Stadium a week from tomorrow night.
 "Bill is more or less superstiti- ous about it all, anyhow" ex- plained Manager Hurley. Twice he trained down in the country for two of his New York fights and he lost them both. When he trained in the city he got in the best of shape physically and was 100 per cent normal mentally. A fellow like that you have to satis- fly him in his whims and be- cause I want hi into be perfect when he meets that Vancouver buster the next time."

HARTFORD MAY PLAY POST SEASON SERIES

If the Hartford Senators win the championship of the second half of the Eastern League cam paign 1t is probable that they will meet the champions of either International or the York-Penn League in 8 post season series.
 Although the proposition has been unofilcialIy preached to
 Business Manager Earl Mann of the Senators, neither he nor Manager Charlie Moore have taken any action on 1t. They prefer to make sure of winning teh second half championship of the league before going ahead with plans. In other words they do not care to "cOunt their chickens before they are matched"

FLAT FEET GIVE
 BABE HIS POWER

Los Angeles, Aug f2-(U. P.l --The principal reason Babe Ruth has hit more than 500 home runs during his big league career is that he has flat feet, according to Dr Roger J. Quick of Detroit.
 "They give him 8 very solid stance at the plate and s great springfness, which, combined with his remarkable muscular coordination, are the reasons he is able to swat the ball with such tremendous force," Dr Quick explained.

LAST NIGHTS FIGHTS

Boston, Aug. 12.-(UP).-Jack Dorval of Quincy scored a tech- nical knockout over George Rocco of New York in the second round of their eight round fight at Bos- ton Garden last night.
 Eighteen pounds lighter than his opponent, Rocco was completely outclassed by the rangy Dorvai and was staggering blindly around the ring when the referee stopped the bout. Dorval weight POS and Rocco |190.
 The New Yorker took severe beating from the opening bell until the fight was stopped. He was hoor- ed twice for a count of nine in the first round and came out of his cor ner in bad shape as the second started.
 Dorval nailed him with a short right and swept his guard aside with aL shower of jabs. The stocky Italian was glassy-eyed and dropped for a long nine count. Dorval came out of g. neutral corner to nnisn matters but was waved aside by the referee when Rocco staggered gamely to his feet to fall helpless into the ropes.
 It was one of Rocco's first pro- fessional fights in New England. He was we'll known as an amateur boxer but little has been heard of him here since he joined the ranks of the money fighters. Acrowd of 5000 fans witnessed the fight last night.

All Interests Cooperate and Better Prices Expect
 ed in Spring

Plans for the improvement of the halibut fishing industry are being considered by a committee com posed of representatives of fishef- men, boat owners and dealers, ap- pointed at the recent joint meeting in Seattle of the three branches of the industry, according to word re- ceived by fishing interests in Ju- neau.
 Another matter of interest to Juneau fishermen is the statement from Seattle that at the meeting of the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union to be held there December 29 a vote will be taken on the question whether Canadian fishermen shall separate from American fishermen and form their own union.
 Similar Issues With Owners
 A similar issue is to be deter mined this month by the Fishing Vessel Owners Association, namely whether Canadian vessel owners shall separate from American vessel owners and form their own associa- ton.
 Ketchikan fishing interests rep resent Alaska on the joint com mittee of fishermen, boat owners and dealers appointed to devise plans for the stAbilization of the halibut industry.
 o. M. Carter, of Ketchikan, is one of the representatives of the cold storage interests. Egil Brick son, skipper of the halbut schoon- CT Sunde d'E. and Chris Servold of the schooner Tordenkjold, both of Ketchikan,, are representatives of vessel owners.
 All Interests Represented
 Other were appointed represent ing the dealers and the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union.
 The committee was instructed to study and investigate conditions to improve the halibut fishing busi- ness of the North Pacific ocean, Limitation of catches, consideration of closed areas, retail and whole sale marketing, and efforts to se- cure for the fishermen a minimum stabilized price will be matters to be considered.
 It was decided also to ask the Canadian Fishing Vessel Own er's Association to appoint a man for representation on the com mittee.
 Questions of Separation
 With respect to the questions of separation of the Canadian fisher men from the American fishermen and of separation of Canadian ves- sel owners from American vessel owners, the Canadian fishermen
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-12-15

belonging to the union and the Canadian vessel owners belonging to the association are practically a unit in declaring that the Ameri- can tariff duty must be equalized so that Canadian boats would be paid the same price for fish as paid American boats in Canadian ports. Most of the American hall but men who attended the hearing of the international fisheries com mission in Seattle recently were against any lowering of American duty on halibut. Therefore. from all accounts there seems little chance of the Canadian and Am erican interests reaching an agree ment.
 Guided By Organizations
 Halibut fishermen and vessel owners of Juneau are not affilia- ted with the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union or with the Fishing Vessel Owners Association, but are in
 
 sympathy with them and are guided by their policies.
 Halibut interests here believe that spring and summer sales of halibut in the States and in for eign markets will show an i'm provement. At present dealers, fishermen and boat owners are faced with the same situation which confronts the farmers and every other class. Halibut is being sold in Boston for 10 and II cents @ pound wholesale. Every one familiar with fishing knows that nobody can make money at that price. But one advantage of the low price is the fact that the pres ent stock of frozen fish is moving. Business men everywhere are sacri- ficing "old stock" in the hope of getting profits from new stocks. It is part of the readjustment plan. "
