Wrigley's Venture in Majors Put
Cub Team Back on Baseball Map
Departed Magnate'S Club
Reigned Popular and
Prosperous.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-News of the
death of William Wrigley Jr., in
Phoenix, Ariz., today came as a
shock in Chicago, where he had
won the admiration of thousands
by his devotion to his home city,
ever to spending hundreds Of thou
sands in an effort to realize his am
bition-win the worlds baseball
championship with his Chicago
Cubs.
The chewing gum magnate and
popular baseball leader was a gen.
erous giver to philanthropic enter
priSes. Last year he turned over a
business building to the needy. He
was 10 years old and had spent
most of the winter at Catalina is
land, California, which he owned
and where his Chicago baseball
team performs during spring train
ing. The Los Angeles Coast League
club also belonged to Wrigley. He
bought the Cubs in 1916.
Cub Team Popular
Successful as a merchant over a
long span of years, Wrigley made
baseball his hobby in late life. He
established the Chicago Cubs as one
of the most successful baseball
teams, financially, in the country,
setting record after record for at
tendance.
When the physical condition of
the Cubs owner demanded it this
winter, he went to Phoenix, where
he had established a winter home,
eight miles from the city. There
were few public indications, how
ever, that his condition was serious.
His son, Philip K. Wrigley, and 9TH
erS of the family had joined him,
but not until today was it known he
had been forced to his bed a week
ago and has been in a serious condi-
ton.
Burial at Catalina
Wrigley was the oldest of nine
children. 1t was said today the
body will be sent from Phoenix to
Pasadena, Cal, where funeral SER
vices will bet held Wednesday Or
Thursday. Burial probably will be
at Catalina Island, which Wrilgey
purchased ten years ago.
Wrigley was a director in half a
dozen banks, was active in public
utilities, steel and iron, and other
businesses, and was a director Of
the field museum of natural history
Wrigley was a staunch supporter
of free days for women fans at
his parks in Chicago and Los An
geles. So great was the popularity
of ladies day" at Wrigley field.
Chicago, that the club officials we're
compelled to issue courtesy tickets
in advance and to limit the num-
Der to avoid overflow attendance.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26-Jack Dempsey will meet the winner of the Max
Schmehng-Jack Sharkey fight in New York or Chicago in September

ager.
Dempsey may engage in a tuneup bout before meeting the winner
Of the Something's harkey match" said Sacks. "Of course, some unfore-
seen Development might upset present plans but l believe Dempsey and
the winner of the Schmehng-Sharkey bout will fight for the title in Sep

SchmeHng, believing such a stand on his part would bring these two
claimants to the title together. One or the other will be eliminated by
their June bout and the winner against Dempsey will settle the heavy

TRANSFER COULD HAVE BEEN
 PREVENTED.

The Howell bill to trariscer the Alaska Road CoHi- missions activities to the Interior Department when is now a law, conceived in prejudice 1orceo oh Alaska without regard for it's almost unanimous protests and reckless of inevitable disastrous con- sequences was put through the lower House oi Congress by the grossest sort of misrepresentation and on the basis of statements that had no semblance of truth. Members of the House who feared the effects of the move and were in posi- ton to have blocked the bills passage were deluded into thinking their fear was groundless.
 The bill came up for hearing on June 27 on the Consent Calendar There had to be unanimous consent in order for it to be considered for passage When it was called up, Representative Stafford o1 Wisconsin reserved the right to object ito inquire as to the proprety of transferring" the roads and trails to the Interior Department, declaring he thought the War Department better constituted for constructing character of improvement than is the Department of the Interior. He was in formed by Representative Collins Mississippi that "there are three road systems in Alaska. One is under the War Department one the Interior Department the Agricultural Department. All of them of necessity are duplicating activities It is my idea that all should be consolidated under the Bureau of Public Roads of the Agricultural Department. If we are to get rid Of duplication of road work in Alaska this bill should pass"
 little later Mir Stafford, still unsatsfied with 
 ganization has the Interior Department for doing that character of work at the present time?"
 To which MT. Collins replied: They have an organization that is comparable in every regard with that of the War Department"
 MT Stafford Utilized at present for what kind of work?"
 MT Collins: Similar work roads in Alaska"

 MT Collins also gravely informed the House that "the bill before has the approval of the Presi- dent of the United States It introduced at his behest I hope the gentleman will not object" Pos sibly he correct in this statement. MT. Taylor spoke truly when he revealed to his fellow members that the Interior Department has control of the Alaska Railroad But neither he MT Collins were correct in every other statement they made on the subject of Interior Department oadbuilding facilities Maybe they were just ignorant and mis- informed, but the fact is that they did give the House, and MT Stafford particularly, information that was wholly false
