Salmon Packers Admit Traps Most
 Expensive to Operate

The following editorial is talk en from the Juneau Empire and is an admission that the use of traps for catching salmon is the most expensive method and bellies earlier statements by the operators, canners and their or f:an the Empire that it was the "most efficient and cheapest" method of taking salmon.
 The article is also an admis- sion that the fishery industry is mt troubled so much with "un- der consumption" of salmon as lover production" of that com- modity and that the promiscu- ous canning of this fish despite market conditions has produced a situation that has sent most of the operators to the financial wall and tho stronger corpora tion tc retrench in their opera tions.
 Henry O'Malley's recent orders curtailing trap operation in Alaska by cutting out 58 out of more than 700 is also an admis- sion that the trap system unless drastically curtailed will forcibly reduce all canning operations in spite of the packers. His reali- zation of this fact, preached by The Alaska Fisherman, The Alaskan and the Alaska Native Brotherhood for several years, is evidenced by the fact that ile left the packers no choice in the matter of curtsilment.
 The editor of this publication sincerely hopes that this cur tailment is not just an idle ges- ture-elimination of dummy traps by corporations using such methods to eliminate competi- ton from their better producing traps. In a matter of a short time, the canners themselves

 Practical Because of
 High Cost
 The following article is taken from the Juneau Empire, Terri torial mOuthpiecc of the canners and one of the plunderbund which has controlled in a pro- fessional way the political and economic destines of Alaskans. Packers Plan Reduced
 Operations The report from Ketchikan that three of the larger salmon packing corporations in South- east Alaska will each operate three less plants this year than usual seems to be in line with the declared intention of the canners in this district to reduce operating costs next season and cut down the pack. A meeting was held recently in Seattle, largely attended by cannery op- orators, at which several pro- blemS were discussed and en- phasis was placed on the neces- sity for effecting substantial economies, the importance of paying more attention to the marketing end and concentrat- ing less on the production end of the industry.
 Pinks and chums, of which the pack Of Southeast Alaska is mainly composed, are selling at present below the cost of pro- ductiOn, by the unanimous ad- mission of all canners attending the meeting. They agreed, also, that there must be a material CCntr"c+ion Cf operations as a result of this situation, the re- ductiOn to be made either now or later. The packers, apparent ly, realize that the longer this dlsagreeable task is postponed the more difficult it will be, and seem to have arranged a pro-

MATTATUCK RS STARTS PLAY FOR
 COLFINC GROWN
0ssie Gray and Ned Farley Expected to Be Final- ists - Senior Tourney Next Week

With Bobby Mcdonald out of competition due to absence from the city, there remains but one serious threat to Ossie Gray's jun for championship crown, play be- ginning today over the Mattatuck Country club course. Ned Farley, the up and coming youngster of Big Ed" Farley who has been fn- timately connected with baseballs and golf balls these many years will give the present junior cham pion the closest rub for top hon. ors.
 Tied Medal Score
 Both Gray and Farley qualified for the play with 78's, the former shooting a sensational 34. two un- der par, Saturday afternoon which he followed with a A nine holes later. Farley shot consistently yes- terday, 3S and 40 giving him n neat 78 to tie Gray's score. This afternon Bob Healey will oppose Gray. and Fred Carr, Jr., plays Bobby Farley, the 12-year-old en- trant in the upper bracket. Ned Farley broke up with Jack Dillon in the lower bracket with Prfndle Barlow and Bobby Gray as the fourth set of opponents. This match, will probably be the best of the day.

BAT READY FOR
 END ENCOUNTER
 WITH EDDIE SHEA
Champion Below l3O and in Fine Fettle to Face Man Who Beat Him Badly

Hartford, Sept 14-Both Eddie Shea and Battalino, who clash at the Hurley Stadium Tuesday night, finished the training grind yester- day and pulled up in great shape for what promises to be one of the hardest struggles in the spectacu- lar career of the featherweight champion.
 Battalino has been hard at work for more than a fortnight, hitting the road each morning and then going through an intensive drill at the St Nicholas gym each after noon. The champion started boxing a week ago and has gone several fast rounds each day with Eddie Shapiro and Aldo Linsey. sparring partners imported from New York.
 Ready to Go
 The champion has pared down his weight to real fighting trim; the hot weather of last week proved a valuable ally and Bat is down to his best battle form. He is expected to weigh about 12S when he gets on the scales Tuesday aft ernoon.
 Battalino is a real fighter when he scales below 130 and no fighter at all when he is up in the 1908; this has been demonstrated when he beat such fighters as Chocolate and La Barba at 126 and lost to Cecil Payne, Roger Bernard and like fighters when he was carrying excess poundage.
 The champion is in splendid condition; bronzed by the summers sun and as trim as battleship on inspection day.
 Battalino has a score to settle in this battle; Shea slammed him from pillar to post in their other meeting at Chicago last winter. It was the first time Bat had ever as- simulated a real beating and it has been a sore memory with him.
 Bitter Memory On that occasion, the champion was not in shape. He trained leis- urely and was around 135 when he got into the ring. AS a result, he offered a great target for the hard punching Shea and the titleholder kept afioat to the final round only through a fine combination of gameness and rare physical equip ment.
 This time he is ready and prom ises that it will be a different story.
 Shea, on the other hand, says he will repeat the dose and is talking knockout. Eddie came to Hartford Friday after two weeks of training and finished up at Hart's Tourist Camp. He is in great shape.
 Thus the prospect of great bat tie before the banner gate of the year locally.

|BROOKLYNS HOME TONIGHT AFTER
 DOUBLE DEFEAT
Detroit and Pittsburg Too Strong for Locals - New Haven Eliminated
(SpeciaI to The Democrat

Cleveland, Sept 13-Homeward bound was the ticket that faced Waterbury's amateur baseball champions, the Brooklyn A. C., to- night as dejected bunch of boys packed their grips mechanically after two straight losses in as many days. Pittsburg's Edgewood A. C.. hung a 10 to 2 walloping on the Brass City array Saturday after noon, while they came out at the short end again this afternoon in battle of base hits which wound up r to 13 in favor of the Public Service squad of Detroit. The Wa terbury boys will probably be home late Monday night after a brief stop-over in New York.
 Battling Galore
 To-day's contest with Detroit was a thrilling affair, with base hits belted to all parts of Schasf road park, IS of them from the bats of the victors and 16 wallops from the Brooklyn bludgeons. A five run collection in the ninth off, set a 13 to 12 advantage held by the Brooklyns. with the latter .un- able to score in the last half of luS oCNCi h"AA ASAo we V used up by the opponents, Mariani, Daily and Lefty Kielty working for Waterbury with Zahm, Fuller, Buckingham and Jopp pitching for the winners. Detroit hit when hits meant runs and that just about tells the story. Henry Darlington, Bobby Tucker and Vim Kielty clouted three apiece, but those five runs in the ninth murdered whatever hope the Waterburians had of remaining in competition.
 One Sided
 Saturday, the Edgewoods of Pittsburg smothered the Water bury entry under a 10 to count, scoring in every inning but the first and third while run in the sixth and another in the ninth was the limit of the Brooklyn scoring power. Doubds gave Waterbury five hits, and no more than one to a batter. New Haven also started home to-day. losing to Dayton yesterday.

STASIAK, POLISH WRESTLER, DIES OF
 BLOOD POISONING

Boston, Sept 14-UP)-Stanley Stasiak, 3S, veteran heavyweight wrestler and for many years one of the most colorful figures of the mat game, died at a hospital In Belleville, Ont. last night. Accord ing to word received at his Cam bridge home.
 Stasiak, who always billed him self as "The Champion of Poland succumbed to blood poisoning that developed in an arm which was broken in a match with Ed Don George of Buffalo, N. Y., at Toron- to September 3.
 During the 13 years of wrestling Stasiak, a native of Poland, was believed to have earned approxi- mately $150,000.
 Though the giant Pole was an able grappler who had conquered some of the best men in the ring much of his popularity hinged on his ability as a clown.
 After he had scored a victory with his opponent lying in daze at his feet, one of Stasiaks stunts was to throw out his barrel-iike chest and strut around the mat, believing, T am de champion, while the crowd boohed.

 STEVENS SAYS NO

New Haven, Conn, Sept 14- (UP)-Appendix or no appendix, Captain Albie Booth will be out for first practice with his Yale grid iron squad Tuesday, it appeared to- day.
 The midget halfback's appendix became a matter of concern to Eli football followers over the week. end when it was reported he had suffered an attack of appendicitis and had his appendix frozen to stave off an operation until after his final football season.
 Booth admitted his appendix had troubled him for about a week and a half last month but declared 1t had improved without the neces- sity of freezing.
 Whats This, Thackeray?
 Dr Marvin M. Stevens. head football coach, issued a statement last night, however, denying that Booths appendix had been bother some at all. "Albie will be out with the team on Tuesday and will not be out of play at all" Stew ems declared "He Is not suf- fering from appendicitis nor has he had an attack.
 Booth said he went to Stevens when his appendix first began to bother him. "I went to Stevie and he told me not to worry and 1t probably would go away of its own accord in a few days" Booth said.
 Booth was busy at dinner of football candidates and coaches at the "" club last night assur- ing his friends he was feeling fit for a hard football season. Most of the 20 letter men from last sea. son and all the coaches except Benny Friedman were present.
