WASHINGTON TIMES SPORTS
GEORGIA SENDS
REAL THREATS
!. FOR DIXIE
By GINO SINH

From far-away Atlanta, Ca,
will come two Of the most col.
orful entries in The Washington
Times Dixie duckpin sweepstakes
which opens at the Recreation
Saturday at 1870 a. m.
They are Walter L. Lawson,
who took part in last years
event, and George Mckay.
: Lawson is the most versatile
bowler in the Georgia metrop-
oils, though this is only his sec
ond season at topping the duck
pins. At present he is carrying
a 116 average in the Atlanta
Commercial League.
He is noted for his ability in
special matches and sweep
stakes, in which he always man.
ages to do the spectacular.
In the Dixie last year, bowl
ing for the first time against a
field of recognized stars. he i'm
proved with each set, finishing
with 1,705. At that time he
said:
"It was Just q bowling les
son for me. i learned more
by shooting in this event than
In years Of league rolling"
The rest of the season he
proved that he had gained much
valuable knowledge as star after
star bowed before his proweSs in
his home town.
Gained in Confidence
This year he has shown re.
markable improvement and has
gained in confidence. He must
pc rated better than an "out-
slider" Saturday.
Mckay, his townsman, has an
aversion to bowling in leagues.
League bowling is too slow for
MIN. He can't get a kick out of
II. He prefers to roll under as
much pressure as possible. He
has boWled in leagues occasion
ally and has had fine averages,
but he dotes on sweepstakes and
special matches.
i In every special event he has
entered he has invariably fin
tshed among the coin-collecters.
He claims that the Dixie is
Just his dish and that he will
take that Southern championship
where it rightfully belongs, way
down South in Dixie"
BIick Rates 'Em High
From what John s. Blick, now
making his residence in Atlanta,
says about these two chaps, the
lads from the Middle Atlantic
States had better look to their
laurels.
So far Atlanta's two contend
ers will have the farthest to
travel Of any entries, but they
may lose this honor if several
Boston bowlers, namely, Jim
OLindy, Archie Capisto and Joe
Bonigli, decide to make the trip.
Almost certain to come down
from New England are Louie
Catelli, Of Providence, and Nick
TronSky and Jack White, Of Con-
necticut. Doubles matches are in
the making for all Of these
bowlers in Washington and Bal
timore and, possibly, Richmond.

THE CANADIAN TREATY

The Canadian fisheries otfl- cials have declared that the Fraser River fisheries will be permitted to operate with all restrictions removed, which means the ultimate destruction Of that fisheries and the fisher ies of Oregon and Washington
 It will have but little effect upon the fisheries of Alaska. This ac- ton on the part of the Cana dians is due to the refusal ot the United States Government to ratify the fisheries treaty which would protect the sock eyes salmon in fact rather thar as paper conservation meaSucec The treaty has been pending l for several years-introoucco and urged by the Canadians ratified by them on several oc- casions only to have the mea- sure defeated in the Senate by fishing interests of Washington State.
 There is no denying that rati- fication of this treaty would be highly beneficial to both coun-
 tries-that the Columbia River fisheries and the Washington State fisheries would benefit

Record.

We have done our work-not because of political expediency but because it was the rightful duty of every citizen to oppose the wanton waste and destruc- tion of the herring industry ard it was with pleasure that we did our little bit as good citizens. And there has been considerable icy in a job well done a little editor of a country newspaper fighting a political giant whose influences through the allied financial interests is too vast for the average non-th thinking citizen to comprehend. The pleasure is one that will never be taken by others who at the end of the race come to the fore and said q" did it and thereby try to take away that which properly belongs to others.

TORIES

The War for Independence was brought on by several evils one of which brought on that war was the effort of some so- called resident" officials to make the colonies Subservient to the British Crown. The Col onies protested against a gov crnment that is now known as "carpet-bag." The early Colon : ialS met with the same difficult ties that now confront the peo- pie of Alaska. During the days of the Revolutionary War these interests and influences were branded as Tory"
 In Alaska, in both the Repub- lican and Democratic parties we have men of the same stripe men who prefer control of ter ritorial affairs by men appointed by official Washington; men who lack sufficient interest in the welfare of the Territory to in vest any part of their salaries in anything but suitcases a II d trunks; men ready to pack up their bags to return to the warmer climes of the States. men who prostitute the resourc- cs of the Territory through con- nivance and chicanery and de stroy every vistage of independ i ence of the residents possible in order that they might secure their own selfish ends. The Tor ies of Revolutionary days were no different from the Tories of this day in Alaska.
 The Tories of the Revolution ary Days were led by the ap- pointees of King George III. The Tories of Alaska are led by the s.ppointees of official Washing ton. The Tories of the Revolu- tionary Days were the favor and obligations of King George and the Tories of Alaska today are the paid-up political debtS of politicians of the States.
 The Tories of the Colonia days were held in utter con tempt and finally driven iron the land or into silence. Tho Tories of Alaska are being driV en into silence but not ye driven from the land. Not yet Not yet.

RIGHTING A WRONG

Delegate Wickersham intro ouced bill for the relief of Clyde Sheldon of Wrangell, which bill has had a favorable report by the Committee on Claims and Attorney General William D. Mitchell. The reason for which is as follows:
 Sheldon was fishing in the Ketchikan district in 1929 and was in a blight wherein there vas no salmon stream. A fish warden coming along, arrested him for fishing within a closed area and on advice of the dis trict attorney, Sheldon paid a fine of $250 whereby, according to the district attorney he would not lose his boat. It was pointed out that the area was not a legal closed area, that markers had been put up by some off, cious warden and therefore Sheldon had been illegally fined Which fine will be remitted be- cause he was not guilty of a criminal act.
 If the Committee on Claims will take the time to investigate the many fines paid by resident fishermen we emphatically state that at least 75 per cent of them were illegal fines, paid under protest, without trial by jury or representation of counsel. That the fines were paid under the threat If you do not pay the tine We will start suit in ad- noiralty and confscate your boat" That such a disgraceful condition exists in the United States of America is unbelieve- able but certain knowledge of many cases in the past several years cannot be dcnied-they are of record. It is time that Congress started looking into a number of these cases. We do not believe that they would tol- crate such a condition for it is jealous of the prerogatives of citizenship which have been handed down to all American citizens with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
The Alaskan., 1932-03-18

equally as much as would the Fraser River District in Canada. The only objection that can be made to it at this time is that it would destroy the American trap system in American waters contiguous to the Canadian shores. But ultimately the entire fisheries of both Countries will be benefited by ratification to a far greater degree than will be the loss of the trap system.
 Refusal of the Senate to rati- 1y this treaty and thereby pro- tect the sockeye fisheries of Canada and the United States only makes certain the charge that the American operators are careless of the future and think only in terms of immediate dividends. Acts of repriSal by the Canadians should not be invitcl for what little sockeye fisheries is left in Washington is due to the seeding of the Fraser River districts. Total destruction of which will close up the industry in Washington.
 coffers of all resident business instead of sending them on the financial rocks.
 We advocate and urge passage of Delegate Wickersham's bill to give Alaska full control over it's fisheries. Not for political purposes or for political expedi- ency but because it is right and proper and the entire territory will benefit thereby.

ANY OLD PRICE

In the past contemporaries o the First Division have wager campaign battles in which they demand a full measure of home rule for Alaska. Home rule fO, | h e fisheries. Now Delegate Wickersham has introduced f tne House of Representatives Z bill which would give the Ter ritory full control over the fish cries. The control desired and advocated by these several edi tors is now within their reach but they have failed to respond with their influence to give the measure their support.
 Rather they damn the mea sure with little praise. Listen to what the Chronicle has to say:
 Delegate Wickersham's bill "to grant additional power to and that is thing not apparent today. x x
 Regardless of the capabilities of Alaskans to administer fish cries affairs, the plan is not eX- pedient;; not, at least, until we have better demonstrated our ability to pay the cost"
 tine Alaska legislature "to con- serve, protect, and manage the salmon and other fisheries" ir the territory, is admittedly enough, a step in the right di- rection. But does it come at ar opportune time? We think not Especially in view of the sectio.- 2 of that bill which would give the legislature immediate au- tnorization ito provide funds in the treasury. .... to meet th5 expense of taking over and eX- ercising the powers" conferred by the bill.

It must be prov

HERRING OPERATORS OPPOSE ANTI-REDUCTION
 BILL

The Pacific Herring Packers Association took active steps early in February to oppose the Wickersham bill introduced in congress to prohibit the reduc- tion of food fish in Alaska.
 This almost perennial propos- al of the Alaska delegate is not expected to receive greater con- sideration than in the past, but the herring industry did not overlook the necessity of point ing out the fallacy behind t. Harold Arentsen, president, and W. W. Wilde, secretary, lost TO time in forwarding to Washing ton volume of evidence and argument against the passage of the bill.
 It is difficult to believe that congress, at this time particul- arly, would destroy an industry which employs many men, both fishermen and reduction plant operators, and which represents
 million of dollars of invested capital. It is not that elimina- tion of the Alaska herring re- duction industry would release the herring for food purposes, They are not needed for food and would not be cured if the reduction plants were legislated out of the territory Pacific Fisherman.
 It is pointed out that the
