Value of Mineral Output of Alaska in

Totals . $12,278,0O0 $13,812, 900 (sIncluding petroleum, platinum met als, limestone, etc.)
 There was substantial increase in the value of the output of gold, but A decrease in the value of the other mineral commodities. The decrease IS, interpreted as being due not only to the very low prices that prevailed for the metals such as copper, silver, and lead, but also to the deterrent effect of those low prices in discour- aging the undertaking of new enter prises and dissuading operators from making even as large an output as they ordinarily woud from the mines already operating. Obviously Alaska has not escaped the worldwide stag nation of business and the accom- panying depression of the last two years. Instead. therefore, of regard ing the foregoing record as one to cause alarm for the future of the Alaska mining industry, it seems that when all thingss are considered the

 OPEN WILL SEEK RECORD LOW
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)

Gene Sarazen broke a worlds record when he won the British Open with an aggregate of 2s3. and it's at least possible that the mark will be lowered again in the U. s. Open which starts Thursday, June 23, at Fresh Meadow, Flush ing, N. Y.
 Sarazen's total in the British title tourney was two strokes un- der the record of 2S5 set by Bobby Jones in winning the English title in 1927. The next lowest for a major (British or U. s. Open is the mark of 286 established by Chick Evans when he won at Minikada in 1916.
 Most of the stars who are to compete in the American event believe the 1892 winning total win range between 292 and .29O. Par for the Fresh Meadow course Is 70, 35 each way. Thus four rounds in par would aggregate 280.
 There are precious few who believe four par rounds are possi- blc on this uneven. dog-leggcd course. And if there happens to be wind, which so often blows out at ctuSHiUS, LOuT TOuIluS m pEOpSE figures will be a golfing impossi- bility.
 Sarazen clipped 13 strokes from par in winning the British Open on the Princes Sandwich course, with it's par of "A. But not even a Jones, a Hagen and a Sarazene all rolled into one could possibly be expected to chop even half tha number off the Fresh Meadow par.
 Al Cuici, professional at Fresh Meadow, points out that, while his course has been played in sub par figures. the average is high. He points to the 68-69--137 made by Leo Diegel, in qualifying for the P. G. A. championship in 1928. as an example of low SCOT ing in competition but insists the average. even for the best players ofthe game. is near so.
 Cuici, who plays little competi- tive golf. holds the course record at 65.
 That was just one of those days. when everything broke right" Cuici said. T was playing the best golf ever played. The weather was perfect for long car- ries. There was no wind to speak of. and my butts went down."

Naugatuck, June 21-A delega- ton of local friends of national open golf champion Billy Burke, former City Hill Street boy and now Greenwich pro ace, will wit- ness his playing in defense of his title at the Fresh Meadows links in Flushing, l.. l., commencing next Thursday. Peter Burkowski the champions brother, will head the local delegation. Burke is paired with the great Gene Sarazen to be- gin their play Thursday and again on Friday.

Von Elm is again an open tourney entrant and a repe- tition of their play of last year may bring Burke and Won Elm to- gether again in the finals.

CALIFORNIA CREW
 STANDS OUT IN 1 POUCHKEEPSIE GO
Sure Olympic Represents lives of America This Summer - Cornell Is Second

Poughkeepsie. N. T.. June 21.-- (UP)--CaIifornia's great varsity crew to-day was established as America's probable representative in the Olympic games at Los Angeles as result of its great vic- tory in the Poughkeepsie regatta. Coach Ky Ebright's second wonder crew" spread-eagled the field of eight in yesterdays 36th annual classic, and became odds on favorites to- win the Olympic assignment in eliminations at Wor- ccster, Mass. next month. Just four years ago, almost to the day, the original outstanding California crew won in Poughkeep- sic, went off to acquire the Olympic games as assignment and to win the amateur championship on the Sloten canal at Amsterdam, Holland.
 Easily Won
 In yesterdays race, California not only was the winner of the four-mile grind, but held a com- manding lead after the first mile and increased it almost at will.
 The real battle in yesterdays row was the fight for second place be- tween Cornell's big Red crew and the Huskies of tho University of Washington, and Cornell won 1t.
 Coach Jim Wrays big Red eight was a none-too-good sixth at one and a half miles. Washington was in second place, two lengths be- hind California. The two-mile mark reached, Cornell had pushed up into fourth place with Wash- ington, rowing steady 80. holding firmly in second.
 Reds Came On
 At two and one-halE miles Wash ington was still second but scarce ly half a dozen feet separated the huskies from Cornell. Here the Ithacans lacked up their heat, cap- tured second place from Washing ton, as they passed the three-mile mark and with an ever-increasing stroke held that position to the end.
 The big disappointment of the showing made by Coach Jim Ten regatta was the relatively poor Eyck's Syracuse crew which fin- ished fifth, slightly behind Navy, regarded as all but dark horse. Columbia s little-regarded crew fin- ished sixth, Pennsylvania seventh, and Massac achusetts Tech, 25 lengths behind California, in eighth and last place.
 Syracuse won the freshman race of two miles in 10:50 ahead of Navy, Cornell, California, Pennsyl- vania, Columbia and NJ. I. T.
 Syracuse also won the junior varsity. a three-mile event in 15:41. California was a. creditable second. Navy was third, followed by Cor nell and Columbia. NJ. l. T. by being last in this race made a clean sweep of the tail end posi- ton.

STATE REPRESENTED BY FOUR CHAMPS
 IN PAST DECADE

Connecticut has been well repre- sented among boxing champions during the past decade. The Nut meg State first entered the cham pionship period in 1924 when Louis (Kid) Kaplan of Meriden gained the featherweight crown by win ming an elimination tournament conducted by the New York State Athletic commission.
 Jack Delaney of Bridgeport fol- lowed Kaplan to title by out pointing Paul Berlenbach in fifteen rounds to capture the light-heavy- weight championship in 1926. Three years later. in 1929. Bat Battalino of Hartford brought the featherweight title back to Con- necticut by outpointing Andre Routis.
 Lou Brouillard the left-handed welterweight, who recently lost the 147-pound title to Jackie Fields. also is a Connecticut product. He started his career in Danielson, but later moved to Worcester, Mass.

 Beard is the American cham pion high hurdler at 70 yeards in- doors and 129 yards outdoors. He may even be the 1882 Olympic high hurdles champ for that's the goal he has set.

Just turned 20, the rookie right handler burst into big print when he downed the mighty Dazzy Vance of Brooklyn in a pitching duel on April 22. And the Flat bushers began to call him "Young Poison" when he turned back the Brooklyn fast ball king again on May z5.

 In the first 66 inning pitched this season. he had struck out 35 men and allowed only 51 hits. which Is quite a feat even for a veteran. At that time Walter Betts, Boston's ace hurler, had pitched 65 innings and struck out only. 15. allowing 57 hits.
 Of the first 13 games In which Brown participated he was credit with winning six games and losing only one, giving him percentage of .S57.
 This husky young chap with the glossgy black hair has impressed observers with his coolness under fire and his unwavering determi- nation to win, even when the breaks are against him - when the other players are giving him poor support.
 Manager Bill McKechnie believes Brown has every qualification to become one of the great hurling stars of the game. He betters six feet In his stockings; weights 19O pounds, and is built like Ro- man statue. He is well muscled and shows no tendency to take on fat.
 Braves Lauded Him
 Brown started playing baseball as pitcher for the Bingham high school near Boston and did mound duty there for three years. from the ages of Is to IS. He was signed by the Braves two years ago and sent to the Providence , Club for the 1890 season, but shifted that summer to Portland, Me, and later to Springfield, Ill. on the Three Eye League.
 He was farmed out to Bingham ton fthe New York State League, in 1881, where he won IS games and lost II. When he reported at the Boston Braves training camp this spring, there was nothing about his record to indicate he would become a regular with the Braves. In fact, Brown probabiy was more surprised than anybody else when he suddenly developed into a big-timer.
