Hurley Promised
Proper Officials

NEW YORK, Aug. y. UP)-Jack
Hurley, manager of Billy Petrolle, IS
confident that his demand for en-
forcement of rules against open
handed slapping, flicking and back
hand punching in the Petrolle-Jim-
my McLarnin bout at Yankee Sta
dium, August 20, will bring the de-
sired results.
Hurley received scant courtesy
when he appeared before the New
York athletic commission yesterday,
but after being elected from the
meeting said he had been assured OF
capable officials.
That's all ! ask" said Hurley,
ii we have a capable referee who
enforces the rules against illegal
punching there will be no chance Of
McLarnin getting away with the
tactics which gave him the decision
in the last bout. II Illegal punching
is to be allowed, McLarnin will find
that two can play the game"

Yes, But He's
Not Flatheaded

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IL. U.P)-
Men, those of you who were barred
from military service because Of
flat feet, take heart!
Babe Ruth hits more home runs
than any other ball player because
his pedal eXtremities touch the
ground all around.
That's the explanation of DR..
Roger J. Quick, Of Detroit, who has
examined the Babes dogs" and
batting stance. He told about it
at a convention of chiropodists
here.
Babe Ruth has a muscular, pud-
gy, extremely strong type Of flat
feet" DR.. Quick said. They give
him a solid stance and great spring
mess. That, with remarkable mus
cular coordination, makes it posi-
bic for him 10 hit 50 many home
runs"

 Last year there were about 55,0OO tons of coal brought into Alaska from British Columbia and Wash mgton, none of it better in heating value than the AL aska product, when properly prepared.
 Can not such movement of outside coal be stopped? It can if the people of Alaska want to stop it.
 What the Alaska coal industry needs most today and will always need in the future if it is to increase in importance is greater degree of cooperation tion between producer and seller with the consumer in fact between all who have the best interests of Alaska at heart It is for the Alaskan people and their true friends to bring about such cooperation.

LANDS SURVEYORS
 IN SEWARD ON MS yAK0B|

After a seasons work which has taken them thru the waters or three oceans, the Arctic Ocean, the Boring Sea and the Pacific Ocean, the MS Yakobi, Capt. Tom Smith, master, is in Seward en- route to Juneau. The vessel has party of surveyors aboard who have been surveying school sites during tho season for the U. s. Land Office, Department of Pulp lie Survey.
 The MS Yakobi and members of the survey party did extenNisc travelling in the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean and their work took them to St. Michael, Nome, Point Hope, Kings Island and over 'c East Cape on the Siberian side. Coming down the vessel visited Cook Inlet and the Kodiak Is- lands where more sites were sur veyed.
 While cruising in the Bering Sea region the Yakobi picked up great deal of fossilized ivory.
 There are six men aboard the vessel and they include Floyd Betts. Carl Collins, Forest Gard ner, Leonard Berlin, Thomas Nc Cortnav and Capt. Tom Smith. The MS Yakobi left Juneau in May and since that time has cov- cred about 1000 mics Tfcv re- port having had good weather for most of the trip
 Some real adventure was af- forded the crew when they were given the opportunity of catching walrus with pike poles. They a.so had the thrill of passing thru great herds of seals. Ranging oi. the shores of the waters thru which they passed they often sav large herds of reindeer.
 The Yakobi did not escape the rigors which all Arctic s4a ..,'n have to fight-being caugrt n the ice pack. The vessel was caught for time in the ice pack up near East Cape. The Yakob' is going to Juneau where it will be placed Oh drydock. Among other things the bottom is to be scraped.
