All Terry did after he took charge
for publication. at least-was to
abolish the 1870 "curfew" rule and
appoint a new club doctor. but it
hasn't looked like the same team.
Today the Giants stood in fourth
place, only four games from the top,
after winning out of 10 games played
under their new foreman. A costly
error by Bill Herman. Chicago second
baseman, gave the "Terryers" five runs
in the eighth inning and a 6-to-3
victory over the Cubs in their opener
bases filled when Herman let Lind
strom's grounder get away. Then the
deluge. Up to the eighth Pat Malone
had given the Giants only three hits.
The defeat did not cut into the
Cubs lead over the field, however. as
the second place Boston Braves were
dropping a 5-to-2 verdict to Pittsburgh,

Italy and the Argentine locked up first
place in tie.
And during the years he has been
taking our Olympic hopes overseas to
victory, Spike has been coaching the

While there seemed to be some agi-

EXPERTS HESITATE
|. TO MAKE A CHOICE
Feel That Some Tiny Error
on Part of Either May
Decide Winner.
BY EDWARD j. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


n 1EW YORK, June 16 R.-The
M faintest shade in the for
/ \ tunes of war, one tiny error
of judgment or marksman-
ship, can turn the heavyweight
championship to Jack Sharkey
Tuesday night after seven long
years of seeking, or leave Max
Schmeling without another seri-
GUS title contender in sight.
Smart men Of the ring have come
away from the gladiators' training
camps shaking their heads.
Probably no two warriors in modern
ring history have shown as brilliantly
as the dark browed, smiling German
and the massive, determined Sharkey
IN their training campaigns this week.
Sharkey, the usually clustering, belli-
cose, erratic sailor, and Schmeling, Eu-
ropes lone heavyweight champion, have
come down toward the close of their
training campaigns in the best condi-
ton either ever has attained for battle
Sharkey, more faithful than ever be-
fore in training, apparently has capital
lied fully for the first time all the
extraordinary punching and boxing en-
dowment he has cast aside at least
three times in the past when chances
at the heavyweight championship were
in his grasp.
He is pounds heavier, yet at 202 the
weight has lodged in his shoulders,
where it adds to the power Of his
punches.
Most impressive of all is his mental
attitude
I'm going to fight" he said today,
his eyes level and earnest "the coldest
calmest. deadliest fight of my life. I'm
not going to miss this time"
VET Schmeling, who won the title
L two Summers ago on a foul in
four rounds after Sharkey had
battered him every second of the first
three. is equally impressive He blocks
punches better and he drives short
right hands to the head and body with
deadly force and accuracy He seems
immune to punishment, trained to
travel the full Is rounds at fast,
even gait
The only break in the picture Is the
champions change in fighting style
from weaving. bobbing miniature of
Jack Dempsey to a "stand-up" boxer.
He jabs more, but without the finesse,
weight and marvellous accuracy of
Sharkeys left hand. And standing up
he seems to hold his right too low to
stop the sailors best punch, a short.
thudding left hook to the jaw. Fur
thermore, bouts no longer can end in
fouls here.
CCHMELING insists, however, that he
- will be harder to hit in his new
style and his only plan of war is
to take what he has to, punch as fast
and as hard as he can, and wear
Sharkey down in the last rounds. as
he did Young Stribling at Cleveland
last Summer.
The sailor SCOTS at that, but he has
given up clustering. He thinks Schmel-
ing silly to change his style.
Yet the professional gamblers have
made Schmeling 7-to-5 favorite.

AT WHAT PRICE

Each election year. the press Of the country
and the politicians come around to the several
Alaska precincts urging full territorial form of
government. In the past we have pointed out
that this is lot of hOkum. There is no sincerity
back of the demand for full territorial autonomy.
The Ketchikan Chronicle said in a recent
editorial under the caption AT WHAT PRICE,
delegate Understands bill introduced at this
session of congress to grant additional power to
the Alaska legislature ito conserve, protect, and
manage the salmon and other fisheries" in the
territory, is admittedly enough step in the right
direction
But does it come at an opportune time?

I'm principle it is all very well to talk of home

In the past this newsprint of Ketchikan has
talked Of full territorial government along with
other newsprints in Alaska. We have always
challenged the sincerity of the urge of home rule

We assert that Alaskans cannot do worse
couldn't possibly do worse than has Henry o.
Malley the past ten years. Certainly Alaskans
would not attempt to parcel out territorial waters
and hand over huge reservations to be adminis-
tered by the cannery interests which have in the
past dictated the rules and regulations of the
United States Department. of Fisheries. They
would not drive out all private independent trap
operators and resident seiners in order that the
huge corporation traps might deliver catches
OF salmon without competition; they would
not tolerate the system of Matchmaking decent
citizens by arresting them false pretenses,
threatening to tie up their boats and fishing gear
OF $500 paid They would not listen to the
porate interests and continue the destruction OF
the May, June and July runs of salmon while pro-
tecting the late runs of salmon-which runs
go to waste for lack of spawning ROOM They
would not tolerate the Wanton waste and destruc-
ton of the herring fisheries which in turn
threatens to destroy the halibut and trolling
industries
Their policy of protecting the salmon runs
properly and fairly would insure operation of as
many packing plants with ten thousand fisher
men as against employing less than three thou
sand Which policy would not drive of Ket-
chikan before the City Council begging for oppor-
tunity to earn sufficient to hold body and soul
together and the City of Ketchikan would have
been saved thousands of dollars this winter which
they used to feed such fishermen.
