CHAMPION Of

Welker Cochran of San Francis
co, recent winner of the interna-

and last years holder of the three

personal appearance here tomorrow

This is part of the National Bet

Cochran, who was born in Man

good share of his 38 years to play
ing billiards. He has held the in

first time in 1923, and the three
cushion crown in 1898. He is the
only three cushion champion who
has also held the balkline title.

MILLER DUE
FOR WORKOUT
At OWL TODAY

Freddie Miller, worlds feather
weight champion, who is here for a
bout with Chalkie Wright at the To-
cal arena tomorrow night will work
cut this afternoon at the Owl Bill
lard parlors where special gym
nasium has been set up so that the
fans can get look at the champ in
action before tomorrow night.
Following this workout he will
make a short trip across the bor-
der. From there he is to go to Win
terhaven where a celebration is in
progress to commemorate the op-
ening of the canal construction bids
today and then on to Yuma where
he will witness the Bobby Leyvas
and Mike Villareal championship
bout tonight.
Supporting the Miller Wright set
to the management has arranged
the following bouts: semi-final-
Kenny Reed, San Diego, against
frankie Venegas, Ell Centre; in the
special, Brute Bogardus of Canada
will meet Red Maley, San Diego.
Both are heavyweights. For the op-
ener, Tommy Hill and Santiago Es-
pinosa will furnish the excitement.
The main event tomorrow night is
a non-title go as both boys will en-
ter the ring over the featherweight
limit. 1t is understood that large
delegation of Palm Springs fans are
expected here tomorrow night for
the fights with large sprinkling of
Hollywood movie stars in the audi
ence.
Many fans would not be surprised
to see Wright either take the champ
tomorrow night or give him good
run for the decision as Chalkie is
cool, a very smart boxer, fast and
punches well with both hands, Mil
Ter will find Wright very differ
ent fighter than he found in Baby
Casanova or Baby Arizmendi. These
two Mexican fighters are great boys
but are not of the smart, tricky
style shown by Wright.
Whatever the outcome 1t surely
promises to be one swell fight and
fans should not miss this opportun-
ity to see the champ in action and
the coast featherweight king in the
ring with him.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

The shrewd businessmen who op-
crate the San Francisco Seals found
much satisfaction today in the feat
of Walter CThe GreaD Mails in de-
feating the Los Angeles Angels,
pace-setters of the Pacific Coast
circuit.
Mails, a veteran in the baseball
wars, was hired principally for his
clowning propensities. The Seals
needed a touch of color, so they
looked to Mails to provide it. The
pitching was to be taken care of by
such stalwarts as Leroy Hermann,
Jimmy zinn and Sam Gibson.
All three have failed consistently
against the Angels, while the clown
of the staff, the one and only Mails,
came through with a 80 victory
last night. And the chap he defeat
ed in a 12-inning duel was no less
than Dick Ward premier mounds
man of the circuit last year and
unbeaten this year until he met
Mails. The Seals hurler gave eight
hits and Ward one less in a keen
battle.
Hollywood got its fight to regain
first division berth under way by
defeating the San Francisco Mis-
sions, to 8, by ninth inning ral-
ly that netted two runs. Joe Sui
livan was returned the winner over
Wayne Osborne in the contest.
Lou McEvoy pitched Oakland to
a 9-1 victory over the Sacramento
Senators. He gave only six hits.
Seattle defeated their northwest
ern rivals, Portland, by an 8-3 score.
Yerkes turned in another good game
for the Indians in letting the Braves

ANOTHER BALLOT. HELD NECESSARY. FOR BOND ISSUE.
Special Election to Be Held May 22 for Approved
 City Works Here

Due to an amendment of the original House bill providing foI the bond issue for public improve ments in Juneau, a special clty election will be necessary to rati- fy the bond issue, according to an announcement made this morning by A. w. Henning, City Clerk.
 The special election will be held on May 22, between the hours Of g am. and ' pm. There will be only one voting precinct, and the ballots will be cast at the Fire Hall.
 Although the election will cover the same matter as the vote taken at the last City election, it was ex- plained that the previous vote was more in the nature of an express sion of confidence in the action al~ ready taken by the City Council than an actual vote on the bond issue.
 Details of the bond issue and purposes for which the money is intended appear elsewhere in this issue of The Empire.
