COMMANDER T0WLE
 PAYING FIRST VISIT
 SEWARD IN 18 YEARS

The personnel of the USS Tahoe, sistership to the cutter Chelan, which left for Unalaska Friday evening, includes the following of ficers:
 J. R. Towle, commander; Lieut.. T. G. Await, executive officer; E. H. Fritxche, lieut.. comdr.; w. w.. Pratt, chief engineer; A. J. Hes ford, ensign. The Tahoe has crew of approximately 95 men.
 It is expected that Captain Towle, who is making his first voyage to these waters in Is years, will remain in port for number of days before proceeding to Val dez or Cordova to await the ar rival of the Congressional party who will return to the coast from the Interior over the Richardson Highway
 It is feared that in the above list of officers a couple may have been overlooked, however, 1t IS not intentional; but in any case the officers of this fine looking craft are splendid fellows, both in appearance and personal con- tact, and the citizens of Seward are delighted with the opportunity of meeting them socially at this time. It is said there are several expert bridge players among them. The golfers, tennis and fishing en- thusiasts are being taken care of.
 Commander ToWle, hOugh a young man in appearance, is a veteran in service and Is years ago had the honor to bring the first government railroad commits sion to this port. He recalled the time when he walked out to Lake Kenai and back from Seward at that time, in one day. He looks as if he could repeat that per- formance equally as we'll today. He is happy to have this oppor- tunity to again visit the scenes of his earlier voyage to Northern wa terS. His headquarters are at San Francisco.

 The first step toward Statehood for Alaska ought to be full Territorial form of government such as the other Territories had before their admission as States and such as Hawaii now has, Alaska ought to have counties and local self government The other Ter ritories before admission to the Union had practically all the authority of government that they have enjoyed since admission except participation in Presidential cleo tions and representation in Congress- Self government the very best possible preparation for Statehood Alaska ought to have been Territory in the same sense that Washington the Dakotas Minnesota and all other Ter 1itolies long ago.

GOLD STOCK INCREASED

During the month of June the United States gained gold at the rate that has not been approached since 1917 and that has probably never before been equaed according to the monthly reveW of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
 The total gain to the counts gold stock during the month was about $153000000 of which $600OOOO took the form of imports and S92000O0 represented the net release of gold previously accumulated here by foreign banks of issue and held in the custody of federal re- serve banks.
 It is an i'll wind that blows nobody good, according to the old proverb and this true of the present panic It is reported that professional promoters nave made as high S2O0 week in commissions by collect ing funds for the unemployed in certain sections ot the country
 One of the troubles of Alaska is that when one asks for remedy for situation, thousand Cagiostros deafen with their clamor; pull in different directions finally fetching mp nowhere
 The wisest economic coryphei are powerless to ban ish poverty and want from the world The capable and the provident will succeed while the incapable and waseful will go to the walland this despite all pan aceas of politicians.
 There is close connection between navigation and surveying Navigation, aside from seamanshp, is prac cally surveying the Surveying is the thing travelling along on land Both are plane and spherical trigonometry to large s extent; n* * *** flowing with ore one item is lacking in the Alaska pie ure lack of great vistas of mine buildings huge smell ters and smokestacks jutting skyward Only in spots is such spectacle seen.
 There is majesty and splendor in the great out doors of Alaska that brings out the best fellow Yet there are some cankered souls up here who do not change.

WORKMAN soon
COMING HOME

MIAMI, Feb. 27.-R. Sonny
Workman, premier rider of
American racing. is doing very
nicely at the jackson Memorial
Hospital. The bone experts have
made a number of X-ray photos
of his broken leg.
They state the bones have
mendeo in a manner which causes
them to believe his usefulness in
the saddle will not be impaired by
his unfortunate injury.
Sonny plans to leave the Jack
son Memorial Hospital by the end
of the meeting. He does not
want to remain n Miami after
his pals move North to st. Johns
Park. Arrangements are being
made to move the plucky rider
to his home in Washington.
It is doubtful if Workman will
be able to return to the saddle be-
fore June or July. The Wash
ington lad is a big-boned young
ster. He has plenty of bone to
heal. He has made his mind up
to wait until the danger mark is
passed before trying to ride again.

That New Ball

Some reports are sitting up
from the South as to the new
types of baseballs. Of the high
scanned American League ball,
Pitcher Herb Pennock, says:
81 hear a lot about how
much the new ball is going to
help me. hope so.
I'D like to have another good
year, And 1 think the ball
should make things easier for
a curve ball pitcher"
The seamy ball with thicker
cover to be used in the Ma
tional League has already
made its impression on the
Giant players.
A whole group of Giant
fledglingS stood with mouths
agape as John Berley, himself
a pitcher, whaled three fungo
flies over the left field renee.
Then as he ratified the plankS
with drives hit in any direc.
tion, Tiny Chaplin went over
and leaned against the water
tank.
eff they can hit this new ball
that far" Tiny remarked, II
might as well start home"
Though none of these long
flies was hit against a pitcher
all being driven with a fungo
bat-Tommy Clarke and Chief
Bender were frankly aston
iShed.
This fellow BerIey may be
an extra long fungO hitter"
said Tommy, "but any ball that
can be hit over that fence has
plenty of jackrabbit left. I've
never seen more than a few
sOcked over there with the
lively ball"
The White Sox players have
been unable to see much diff
ference, if any, in the new
American League ball.
Looks like the boys will still
have to be ball players" de-
clared DOME Bush. 1T might
have been a better idea for
some of these pitchers if they
had deadened the ball."

he is raymond MCMdAlOAA
who. in his colorful college
career, has attended Holy Cross
and the University of Pitts
burgh as we'll as Mt. st.
Mary'S.
His two-fold opportunity to
become a major league twirler
lies in the fact that he is a
turn-around pitcher, if you get
what we mean.
Now we have all heard of
and seen turn-around batterS.
In fact Washington will have
a very good turn-around batter
in the person of Harry Rice,
the former Detroiter and New
Yorker who came to us during
the winter, but Young Raymond
Mcmahon is one of the very
few turn-around pitchers who
have ever come into the pro-
fessional game.
Joe Dinkin, former Central
High School gridman, who at
tended Mt. St. Mary's is au-
thority for the fact that Nc
Mahon can tWirl almost as
effectively with his left arm
a. with his right. Such being
the case, perhaps if he can't
ease 'em across as effectively
with one wing he has the op-
portunity to attempt it with
the other. Few young pitchers
enter their big league career
SO we'll equipped.

Lynch Dug Him Up

Mcmahon was recommended
to Manager Walter johnson
by Joe Lynch, the very athletic
son of Mike Lynch, veteran
marathon runner. And like
every other Mt. st. Mary's en-
thusiast, Lynch declares McMa-
hon has the stuff to eventually
land a permanent berth in the
upper strata of baseball.
Dinkin says he has seen NC
Mahon pitch an entire college
baseball game with such rare
control that not once did he
find it necessary to grove the
ball.
"He never pitched left-handed
during actual college cOmpeti-
ton, but I've seen him out on
the practice field using only
his left arm by the half hour,
and in rehearSaIS there was
little difference between his
effectiveness regardless of which
arm he used.
"He was such a good pitcher
at the Mount" says Dinkin,
the athletic director refused
to run the risk of McMahOn's
getting injured in football, re-
fusing to let the boy go out for
that sport, despite the fact he
is an excellent and enthusiastic
gridman."
Should Mcmahon eventually
land a job with Washington,
the team will boast one of
those live-wire collegians who
lends color and life to a club.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27. The
sixth chapter of a five-year ring
felId will be unrolled at Madison
Square Garden tonight when
Billy Petrolle, veteran lightweight
of Fargo, N. D.. takes one more
crack at his nemesis, King Tut.
The latter is 3-to-2 favorite.
The bout is scheduled to go 10
rounds. but the consensus of opin-
ion is that the toW-headed Mime
apolis junior welterweight will de-
rail the Fargo express as he did
at st. Paul recently when he
put the cruSher on PetrOlle in
half a minute, knocking out Billy
before the later could get out of
his corner. Previously the pair
had broken even in four en-
counters.
PetrOIle's belief that he will
even the score tonight is shared
by many New YOrkerS who saw
him put up a stiff battle
against Jack kid Berg and
whip the supposedly invincibIe
Jimmy McLarnin.
Billy also handed Tony Can
zoneri a Shellacking last Septem-
ber After being sent to the hos
pital by Tut late in 1929, Petrolle
made remarkable comeback
and was considered a leading con-
tender for the lightweight and
welterweight titles until Tut
ruined him again a few weeks
ago.
Petrolle says he will retire if
Tut beats him again tonight. The
latter is so confident of victory
that he has posted a forfeit of
$4,000 with the Illinois boxing
commission fer a match with
Young Corbett Sd at the Chicago
Stadium on March 80. The Cali
fornia welterweight has put up
like amount.
