NEGRO WELTERWEIGHT PLANS TO HIT
 COMEBACK TRAIL

Frescno, Cal - (UP) - Young Jack Thompson, one-time welter- weight champion, was ready to start treading the comeback trail today in a new division, the mid- dleweight ranks.
 The colored boxer, visiting friends here, made known his plans. l.
 q haven't had on a glove In more than a year." he said, "but I know I can get into shape to take any of the current middle weights.
 'I'm going down to my ranch in Riverside County, put in a couple of months rounding into shape, then do gymnasium work in Los Angeles and be ready to enter the ring against any of them"
 Thompson, who fought at around 147, weighed 169 pounds during his visit here. He said he planned to remain at about that weight.

Memphis Bill Terry of the Gi- ants and ole Cronin of the Sena- tors are playing manager in every sense. Terry is not only Q top- flight hitter, but @ fighting 1ead-. CT. Cronin, who directs from the shortstop position, falls a few notches short of his 1925 hitting mark of his rival, but gives no quarter as a fiery leader.
 This is the first series since 1906 that each of the managers is player. Back 28 years ago Frank Chance and Fielder Jones led their Cubs and White Sox, into the All-Chicago world series.
 Storybook sportsmen, both of them. Each succeeded in plotting his club into it's league champion-' ship during his first full year as manager. They are the youngest World Series pilots on record, and remarkable when 1t is recalled that their play.
 Little Edge
 Baseball men generally regard Cronin as the finer player of the two, rating him tops at his posi- ton in either league. Among those he contacts away from the ball park he's the hail fellow, well met, who has the happy faculty of never forgetting a name or a face. He's baseballs most eligible bach elor, 26, well fixed financially ana handsome.
 Baseball fans like Cronin for his tendency to try whatever seems best at the moment, no matter whether there's precendent for 1t or not.
 Terry, who may not be the ono best first baseman to-day, certain- ly ranks with the first three in the game. Unlike Cronin, he has no happy faculty for making quick friendships. Possibly the "best guy always diplomatic. During the early part of the season Terry was on the high road to downright un- popularity among baseball writers, but somebody "got to him." just as 0 Philadelphia baseball writer "got to- Lefty Grove a couple of years ago, and Terry saw the light. He gets along okeh, now. Bll Is Best
 If there really is something to | club managing, and to baseball men it's heresy to think otherwise. then Terry's 1888 accomplishments 10 date must overshalow those of Joe Cronin. Of course this is be- cause bill took Q set of ball players tagged by the experts as capable of nothing better than 6 second di- vision berth and drove them to the top and kept them there. Cronin started with an outfit that was conceded Q fighting chance to take | the flag.

Among his notable achievements was
to descend into the crater at Aniakchak
and bottle some chlorine gas. thus fur
nishing for the first time absolute proof
of the existence of this substance in
an erupting volcano.
The glacier priest" as Father Hub
bard is known, has made study Of the
geological biological and anthropolog-
ical problems of this northern desert
which has enabled him to provide an
swers to numerous puzzling questions.
1t Is very recent land, he says, made
up by the rising and eventual joining
together of a succession of undersea
mountains. On this basis. he was able
to explain the routes followed by the
salmon, always matter OF difficult pre-
diction The ancestors of these fish, he
says, passed through open water across
the peninsula and the instinct to go
through these same passes to their
swarming grounds remains in the de-
scendants. But the passes are closed
and they follow unconsciously the routes
of least resistance.
Father Hubbard is best known as a
student of glaciers. He has conducted
research on these projects, both in
Alaska and in the Alps and finds al
most conclusive evidence, ne says, lildL

yards year, although there are notable
exceptions where advances are being
made, due to local conditions.
Finds Traces of Culture.
Throughout the Aleutians, in par
ticular, he has gathered evidence Of a
large aboriginal population in an ad-
vanced state of culture in keeping with
recent Smithsonian Institution findings
He has marked the site of some OF
these aboriginal villages for future ex-
cavation. He believes this island chain
was one of the roads by which man
came into North America, although the
main route was by the Bering Sea.
In keeping with this theory, he says,

to have some relationship to the speech
OF the hairy Ainu, the aboriginals OF
Northern Japan. This may constitute
footprint of an entirely independent in
vaSion from Asia.
Father Hubbard also pointed out the
existence of a strange sort OF hero
glyph, or rock carving, which can be
traced from Central Siberia. through
Alaska and down the Pacific Coast to
Mexico. This appears to mark the pas
sage of some aboriginal people who had
reached a fairly advanced state OF
culture.
Father Hubbard will lecture tonight
before the National Geographical So
ciety and next week will describe
another phase of his work in lecture
at Gonzaga College. T. r. H.

to Charges Today.
TWO BATTALION LEADERS
DENY FORCING sIGNERs
Claim They Voluntarily Started
Move-Report of Action Against
Stanton, Haight Heard.

George S. Watson, chief engineer of
the District Fire Department, has
issued blanket order to the chiefs of
all fire stations to stop the circulation
of any petition which may pledge sup
port to him or his administration.
This became known today as the
Commissioners prepared to take up for
official consideration the reply by Wat
son to series Of charges against him
by Paul E. Jameson, attorney of the
City Fire Fighters Association.
Watson said he had had no knowl-
edge of the circulation in one fire sta
ton house of petition pledging sup
port OF his administration. When he
learned Of 1t, from stories published in
the papers, he said, he Immediately
called Battalion Chiefs T. B. Stanton
and A. Haight. When they told him a
he told them to stop it Immediately.
All Chiefs Warned.
That was done yesterday afternoon
Shortly afterward Watson sent a gen.
eral order to chiefs of all fire stations
to the same effect
Friends of Watson say he took the
position that the members Of the de-
PoA eAiSAt olioulu llOl cFcI Ut dSktQ u
sign statement approving or disap-
proving of his administration.
Battalion Chiefs Stanton and Haight
said they had started the petitions on
their own behalf without consulting
Watson and emphatically denied COM
plant by Jameson that firemen were
being forced" to sign the petition.
The District Building heard reports
today that Jameson was considering
drafting charges against Stanton and
Haight for their action in starting the
petition Jameson would not comment
on this for publication.
Statement withheld.
Chief Watson has prepared his reply
to the charges filed with Representa-.
tive Virginia E. Jenckes. a member Of
the House District Committee, by
Jameson. The reply was to be placed
before the Commissioners this after
noon. Watson would not make hi.
statement public, leaving that to the
decision of the Commissioners.
Jameson has accused Watson oi
having invoked rules and regulations
which he says are unnecessary and toe
severe and with having inflicted severe
penalties on the firemen for infraction:
of minor rules.

AND FUEL IS HELD CAUSE
Rolls for Entire Country Rise.
Two Per Cent Increase Seen
on Complete Reports.

While the District had 1885, fani-
lies, So less than the preceding month
on relief rolls in October. the relief
expenditures in the District jumped
s58, ,8O6.50 in October to a total OF
s315,21112.
The increase, Harry L. Hopkins, Fed
eral emergency relief administrator
said, was due largely to purchases OF
clothing and fuel to meet the Winter
weather. and to increases in living cost
For the entire country. Hopkins an
nounced, the relief rolls increased only
slightly in october and it Is expected
the total will be approximately g.
100000 families when figures from six
States, which have not yet reported,
are received. This would bring the in
crease to about 2 per cent.
Coal is AlIocated.
At the same time Hopkins an
nounced there has been tentatively
'allocated to the District for relief OF
the needy 2,0l5 tons Of bituminous
and anthracite coal which operators
have agreed to furnish at substantial
price reductions.
Hopkins revealed that total OF
nearly 10000 900 tons of coal has been
offered and will be taken by the relief
administration from coal operators al
reduction of 70 cents a ton on
anthracite and 10 per cent under the
N. r. A. code price on bituminous
These reductions are effective today
1t was estimated that of the total
5000, 900 tons bill be bituminous ano
1000 900 tons anthracite
In the District as In other communi.
ties local relief officials will make ar
rangements with local dealers to supply
coal from existing stocks. Tickets fol
the coal will be issued to those on the
relief rolls after the usual investigation
and coal dealers generally, through the
National Retail Coal Association, have
been asked to deliver the coal at de.
livery cost as their contribution to the
program.
Example Of Cooperation"
Il wish to emphasize the fine degree
OF cooperation by the coal operators
in their voluntary reductions, which
constitute a substantial contribution tc
the needy" said Hopkins. The re.
tailers also have been generous in
their cooperation and I think thi.
plan is splendid example of working
together to minimize the hardships OF
the unemployed"
The coal distribution will be under
the direction of L. A. Snead, emergency
relief fuel adviser. who was director oil
distribution for the fuel administration
during the World War
For Maryland, it has been estimated
that 106,500 tons will be distributed
while no estimate has yet been given
for Virginia.
