Cod Schooner Is
 After Record

Although the fishing banks ir Bering Sea have been lashed by continuous southwest gales all through July, the Seattle four nlasted cod-fshing schooner lChristenson stands an excellent chance of breaking the Ameri- can record for largest catch. This was revealed in a radio message received recently by Capt. J. E. Shields, owner, from Capt. John Grotle, master of the vessel.
 According to this report, the fishermen, despite the handicap of heavy seas, has 253,O0O cod fish or approximately 500 tons slowed in the hold. With the earlier catch and the July fish, they are now within seventy-fve tons of the record made by the WaWona of Anacortes which delivered 275 tons at San Fran cisco in 1915.
 With a month or possibly more to go, according to the weather, the forty-three members of the crew will beat the WaWonas mark if skill and endurance can do it, Shields says.
 The fleet is small this year, to Shields, only the Sophie and the three master commanded by Capt. Charles Floss, being out from Puget Sound and the three Louise and -masted William H. Smith from San 
 The vessels will return in late and for their efforts these toilers of the sea will be paid off at the rate of about $500 per man above expenses.

CARD
ONT AP At
PORTNER'S

The most sensational match of
the season.
That's what the promoters of
the Landers-KocsiS match at Port
ner's Arena tonight are calling the
bout which will headline a 80
round card tonight at the popular
Alexandria palace of punch.
Landers and his manager. Tony
Barbara, arrived here late last
night. Barbara, speaking for Ian
ders. said:
"BiIly is in the best shape of
his career. / believe local box
ing fans will get the biggest
run for their money when these
two boys step through the
hemp they have had this sea-
son.
BILLY is right in his element
when he can get an opponent
to come to him. / understand
KOcsis does this very thing.
Well, if that's the case, you can
look for plenty of thunder"
KocSiS, may or may not realize
that Landers is the hardest right
hand puncher for his weight south
of the Mason Dixon Line.
Louie Jallos and Bobby Burns
are matched tonight in the semi
windup for eight heats. Jallos is
from Cleveland and Burns is
from Baltimore. Both boys are
lightweights.
In Bobby'S last go at Portner'S
he took the short end Of an en-
gagement with Sturnpy Jacobs,
but many thought he should
have had a draw.
However, Bobby is always a
busy boy once he comes up for
the gong and the fans can eX-
pect his usual Slam-bang go
against the rising young Greek
sensation.
Gabe Navos, sensational little

When Billy Fiske and his three
teammates won the four-man
Olympic bobrun title yesterday,
the Olympic games came to their
end. Now Lake Placid is ready
to go back again to its small
town status, relieved to be once
more an easy-going, quiet COM
munity.
Costly Construction
For a time it was thought
that Lake Placid would wind up
with a severe financial hangover,
for the total cost of the games
was $1,137 ,653, an amount which
would buy a lot of groceries.
Most of this went for the con-
Struction expenses.
Balanced against this is an eSti-
mated income of $1,085, 1856, which
chiefly accrued from an appropri-
alton of half a million dollars
given by the State of New York,
another anticipated $1,000,000
from the same source. $350,000
in the form of a bond issue floated
by the citizens of this community
and gate receipts of approximately
100000.
Made Up Easily
The small deficit will be made
up easily enough and when all the
bills are paid Lake Placid will still
have beautiful arena, a magnifi-
cent ski jump and the most thrill
provoking bobrun in the world.

Once out in the Sharklands
this blood is poured upon the

of it streaks in the wake of the

$47O Clear Profit
They tell the story down here
of a naturalist who was in search
of a tiger-shark, which he desired
for museum mounting. He
offered $500 for the somewhat
scarce specimen-certainly if not
scarce, difficult Of capture.
One of the local deep-Sea fish
ermen heard of the offer and
took it up. He went to the hu-
name society and paid them $50
for a horse which had had to be
"extinguished" the day before.
Taking the deceased to the
mouth of BiScayne Bay on the
evening before the hunt, he bound
it with cable to a buoy where
overnight it attracted every tiger.
shark in the vicinity. The next
morning it was a simple matter
to drift down and take your pick
of the ferocious sea vultures. the
scientists selecting a specimen
which sent him homeward smil
ing and satisfied.
It's fish story, yea, and one
which netted its author $47O.

TOHOMBERGER

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. 16.
Harry Homberger and his reck-
less crew of Saranac Lake Red
Devils, deprived of winning the
Olympic bob-run title yesterday,
were solaced today when they
won the North American and
National A. A. U. championship.
Bracing weather and icy course
set the stage for Homberger's
two runs of 1884 and 1:55
for a total of 3:48.34. HON.
berger let everything go in his
effort to win today and he
whirled around the dangerous
turns Of the bob-run at break
neck speed to thrill the specta-
tors who had gathered in the
wooden stands at the curves.
Lieut.. Alexander Papana and
his team of Rumanian aviators
made one amazing run of 1:53.01
which, added to their effort of
1:58.30, gave them a total OF
3:51.31 and second place. Each
team went down twice and it
was on Papana'S second effort
that he chilled the crowd with
his daring on the treacherous
curves of the Mount Won Hoeven-
berg bob-run.
Hubert Stevens, winner of the
two-man bob Olympic title last
week, was in third place with a
total of 3:51.69, while his brother,
