JUNEAU SCHOOL CAGE RS WIN IN
 THIRD CONTEST
By Winning Last Night Lo- cal Teams Makes 1t
 Three Straight

By taking both ends of last nights double e-header on their own court, the boys and girls cagers of Juneau High School made 1t three straight over their tradition al rivals of Douglas High. The To- cal girls, using a long list of sub- stitutes, won 38 to 27, and the boys cantered into an easy "A to 8 vic tory, also using the second string five in parts of both halves.
 While these results give the local teams the annual series, un- der this years agreement fourth game will be played. It is slated for Douglas next Friday night.
 Island Girls Improve
 The D-Hi g1rls showed material improvement in last nights game and had their craftsmanship been up to their passing and floor game, there might have been a different story to tell. Trailing by 10-23 score at the halftime, they out scored the locals in the second half when Coach Herbig used many substitutes from the big Juneau squad
 V. Carlson and Hanson led Ju- neau's team in scoring, the former with IT and the latter 15 points. Vim, shifted for a few moments to forward, caged one, and Allan two from scrimmage to account for all Juneaus points.
 Loken, Douglas forward, walked off with scoring honors. She sank nine fields and three gift losses for total of 21 points. Lundell, shifted from side center to forward in Fraser's place, chalked up six points on three fields to complete the Island score.
 Starts Second Five
 Coach Regele started the Grim son Bears second string five against the Islanders last night. He ing Douglas scoreless in that quar- ter which ended with Douglas leading 3-2.
 ! The first string took up the fight lat the quarter post but it gos started somewhat slowly. At the half time, however, it had carried the score to 10-6, and from then o;n it was just question of how big a score the Bears would pile up.
 The regulars went through to the end of the third period, hold ing} Douglas scoreless in htat quar- ter, and carrying their own count up to IT points. The second string was sent in for about five minutes in the final quarter after which the regulars returned and complet- ed the rout.
 Are Outclassed
 The Islanders never had look in for the game. They were held to three goals from scrimmage and two on free throws, and all of them were made in the first quar- ter except a lone field goal that came about midway of the fourth quarter. Kilburn made two Of the visitors field goals and Guerin the third. The gift losses were made by Stragier and Edmonson.
 Haglund was high point man with eight points on four from scrimmage. Hanson caged two fields and two on free throws for six points as runnerup.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Western
raids in eastern pastures of the Am
erican league have been going on
for few days, and it is now possible
to estimate the damage.
The damage has been very slight.
Two weeks ago Detroit was on top
in the American. Directly below the
second place Yankees were two
other western clubs-Cleveland anu
ST. Louis Today Detroit is in Sec
ond place, the other western clubs
range from fifth place downward.
The heaviest profit taking was
done by the Washington club. The
Senators have played 1877 ball-the
best in the circuit-Since the inva-
sion started. They were fifth, at
500. Now they are third, at Sal.
During the western raids, they have
won eight, lost three, won two SER
les and are even with Detroit on the
third.
The Yanks, dating from June 8
when they came home and played a
short series with Philadelphia, aver
aged .692. They have won nine, lost
four, won two series, tied one and
are leading Cleveland in the cur
rent contest, 81. The Red Sox have
moved into the first division, from
sixth to fourth. Detroit is the only
western club left in the upper brack-
ct.

The board of Leon Lee, Chester
Kilgore and Leo Madden in let

Part: while we believe that sec
ton 3 of article justifies your pro-
test. there is, however, in section
7 Of article the same justification
for the use of such a player by the
Fat Boy team. However, your pro-
test is allowed but instead of your
accepting forfeiture, we strongly

Southern California had Ferris

Even without the assistants
warning one would automatically
make way, for Major Watson is
the type that way is made for.
Well over six feet tall, and with
just enough of stomach to lend
the proper dignity, he carries his
fifty-odd years and bristling NOUS
tache lightly. There isn't a fleck
of dust on his immaculate costume,
and his full face shines like har-
vest moon.
Major Gives Spiel
Finding an open space in the
crowd Major Watson stops, and for
fully a minute gazeS silently, and
bit contemptuously, at the crowd
gathered about him. Then, while
his assistant spreads a small rug
on the ground, he reaches in his
pocket and produces a batch of
small white cards.

one time was the greatest jockey
in India, will hand you my card
with the winners
The major paused Not a shill-
ing is thrown. Accustomed to
American touts, who har1 ngue and
harangue until their information
is bought, I expected Major Watson
to launch into another spiel But
he did nothing of the kind. He
waited for two or three minutes,
then ordered his assistant to pre-
pare for the departure.

LONDON, June 22.-The manage
ment Of Belmont Park, Arlington,
Churchill Downs and any other
American track interested in lift
ing horse racing to higher plane,
would do well to send delegation
of representative touts abroad to
study the English touting method
AS you know, American touting
is of a very low order Poorly
dressed, deficient in manners, and
sadly lacking in sales technique,
American touts are definite de-
traction from the racing scene. Like
the general public, they seem to
regard their occupation as unsav-
curry, and conduct themselves ac-
cordingly.
How different on English tracks!
Here the touts, resplendent in gray
toppers, cutaways, striped trousers
and spats, often are the best
dressed men on the course. They
speak in the purest Elizabethian
Cockpey, and the dignity of their
sales talk is gravely impressive.
Let us watch a typical English
tout, Major Watson, at work in the
enclosure. We know it is Major
Watson for a few PAGES ahead of
him. dressed as jockey walks an
assistant who, as he parts the
crowd, repeats over and again:

DOUBLE MAIN
EVENT DUE At
LOCAL ARENA

Both principals in the heavy
weight main event scheduled for the
local arena tonight went through
stiff training sessions yesterday and
appear ready for the battle tonight.
Dixie Dugan of Pomona will meet
Art Mccullough, local boy in one
half of the double main event while
in the other half Kenny Reed and
Reno Fernandez will appear.
Reed was to have met Mexican
Kid Chocolate in this fight but
while taking his final workout at
the Coliseum last night, Cho-
colate started to vault over the
ropes, slipped and got a strained
back out of it. There was no other
boy of Reeds weight available on
such short notice who could give
him even fair competition and fin
ally after a great deal of argument
his manager agreed to let Kenny
fight Fernandez. Reno has not lost
a fight on the coast in some time
and should give Reed a better battle
than Chocolate.
Manuel Martinez and Eddie o.
Neal will toss leather at each other
in the four-round special. Both are
good youngsters and a real scrap
will result.
In the four-round preliminary
Red O'Malley and Brute Bogardus
will put on repetition of their
bruising fight of two weeks ago. Red
took the nod in this scrap but Brute
has been putting in some real train
ing and expects to reverse this de-
cision tonight.
