a 725 catch, it was revealed when
Haines arrived in Liverpool Harbor

Technically the record still
stands at 800 pounds for the year
as Haines had to be spelled during
the course of his nine hour and

the rod for a few minutes while

GLEN MCCARTHY
AT THE RACES

Francis Albertanti wrote pugi-
listic publicity which convinced
10000 boxing fans that James j..
Braddock had a chance to win the
heavyweight championship from
Max Baer. At any rate, such a
crowd turned out to see the fight,
and Braddock made Albertantl'S
publicity sound like gospel.
This little Italian, who started
out some IS years ago on the staff
of the old Morning Telegraph in
New York, is a racing bug. And
he wonders how jockeys spend
their evenings.
Exactly like other human
beings, Francis, depending some
what upon the immediate sur
roundings Of a race meet. A few
racing associations, notably Sara
toga, have thoughtfully provided
recreation facilities for the lads,
and most of them take advantage
of such opportunity to play vari-
GUS games, read and listen to the
radio, or do little harmonlzmg
themselves.
Others prefer to take in a
movie, or call upon horsemen
friends. A majority Of the lads,
even those who have become sue
cessful jockeys and are married,
live simply.
A small minority are natural
promoters, are around the hot
spots at night in hopes OF
making wealthy acquaintance,
who might be imbued with the
ludicrous idea that information
about a Jockeys mounts-and
his chances of winning-is the
short way to riches.
On the whole, jockeys live pre-
cisely as folks in other walks
of life.
Pony McAtee plays better golf
than any other jockey or ex-
jockey. Earl sande tries harder
than any other ex-rider to make
a living as a singer; many
jockeys have good voices-Tommy
Meade could contra-tenor an out
cast from home into going back
and confessing all, but none OF
them gave much thought to
profiting from their singing.
Tod Sloan outdressed and out

With two away and a man on
second and third in the ninth
frame, Chaconas walked slowly to
the plate, picked out his favorite
bat, took two strikes and then on
the next pitched ball singled over
second, scoring his two mates.
Up to that time it looked very
much like the Marketmen would
win the game, especially in the
eighth inning when they scored
two runs to give them a 5 to 4
lead.
Both teams were forced to call
on two hurlers. The Brewers used

while the Marketmen sent Carl

DEVELOPMENT OF LINE FACES ST. JOHNS COLI
Team To0pen
Practice
SEPT. Z

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 24.-St.
Johns will start football practice
on September IL with a good
supply of seasoned backs and
ends. Almost a new line from
tackle to tackle must be de-
veloped however, since five OF
last years forward wall grad
uated last June.
The biggest problem Of Talbot
Riggs, head coach of the Johnnies,
will be to find requirements for
Henry Weeks and Calvin Lotz,
tackles; Angus Lamond and
Gordon Boucher, guards, and
John Donohue, center.
Riggs will again be assisted IN
the coaching by Val Lentz, who
will give particular attention to
the line players, and, probably
by John Donohue, who is on the
cards to be named lacrosse coach
and assistant football mentor.
Strong Group Returns
Backs who will be missed are
Ed De Lisio, Johnny Bossert, Joe
Sutton and Lou Eickwort, but
there remains a strong group OF
carriers, all of whom have seen
action in varsity games. These
are Bob Snibbe, Johnny Lam
bros. Harry Wagner. Warren
Hammann, Everett Smith, Charlie
Koogle and "Slim" Su1nmerville.
Len Delisio and Asbury Lee,
ends, will again be on hand, as
will these change forwards Of last
season: Frank Townsend and
George Kopp, tackles: Ted Stan
kiewiecz, guard, and Ernest Corey,
center.
Unknown Quantity
The new material is an unknown
quantity, but it is believed that
the squad will be strengthened
somewhat from the frosh class
now being allowed to play on var
sity teams.

Clearing Work Starts
On Road To Pats Creek

Clearing and grubbing operations
on the new Pats creek road will
start within a week or two, and
will continue for eight or nine
months, according to NJ. NJ. Custard,
representing the firm of Custard,
Meadows & Ola, contractors, sue
cessful bidders on the project,
which is being carried on under the
auspices of the U. S. Bureau OF
Public Roads.
The contract calls for the clear
ing, grubbing and burning OF ali
forest growth of a right of way
90 feet wide from the end of the
present road, a short distance be
yond the Wrangell Institute to the
mouth of Pats creek, a distance o.
1 and three-tenths miles. A crew OF
80 to 35 men will be employed on
the work, Custard said. They will
work 40 hours a week, seven hours
a day for five days and five hours
on Saturday, and will be furnished
board for one dollar day. Virtu-
ally all labor outside of the donkey
man and rigging crew will be chos-
en- locally, and will be paid so
cents an hour minimum.
The floathouse formerly used by
Jimmy Jardine, and recently &C
quired by Dr. Scruby and DR..
" hitehead. was purchased this
week by the contractors, and is
now being refitted for a kitchen
and dining room. 1t will be moored
near the mouth of small creek
about one mile from the end of the
present road. Another floathouse
which the contractors used last
year on a Petersburg project, will
be towed here shortly to be used
for a clubhouse. Springs and mat
tresses will be furnished by the
contractors, and all that the men
will be required to furnish in the
way of sleeping accommodations is
their own bedding. VIM. Perkins
has been engaged as camp cook.

Gov. Troy Is Welcomed
By Wrangell Citizens

Returning from a two-months
trip to the nations capital and
various other eastern cities, Cover
nor John w Troy was a visitor in
Wrangell Thursday evening while
the steamer Alaska was in port.
Governor Troy was welcomed by
Mayor Frank Barnes, and a group
of citizens and public officials, in
Guiding his secretary, Harry G.
Watson, who came from Juneau by
airplane.
Accompanied. by Mayor Barnes
and local officers of the FERA, the
governor visited the various work
relief projects which were complet-
ed last spring, and expressed him
self as much pleased with the re-
suits. Secretary Watson, who is
deputy administrator of FERA for
Alaska, eomplimented local offici-
ais for the thoroughness with which
the projects were put through.
Il think Wrangen received good
value for the money expended,
was his comment.
Governor Troy spent about an
hour at the court house, confer
ring with U. S. Commissioner
John w. Stedman, chairman of
the board, and Deputy U. s. Mar
Tshal James Nolan, on relief mat
ters. Funds for relief are exhaust
ed, but it is believed that Alaska
will share proportionately in the
gigantic work relief program which
President Roosevelt has outlined,
Mr.. Troy said.
Alaska has many friends in
Washington, the Governor added.
THE high officials of many gov
ernmental departments have Alas
ka's interests at heart"
During his stay in Washington,
Governor Troy met the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt. He was the
guest of honor at a luncheon given
in the Senate restaurant by Harley
Branch, and attended by Vice presi-
dent Garner, Speaker Byrnes, Sena-
tor Robinson, Senator Guffey, Dele
gate Anthony J. Dimond and others
On his return to the west coast,
Governor Troy visited the San Die
go Exposition, travelling by air
plane to Seattle. He is much i'm
proved in health.

CRAIG MEN FINED FOR ILLEGAL
FISHING; APPEAL THEIR CASE

Fines of 5000 and $50 were as
sessed against the two Ketchikan
men who are operators of trolling
boats seized at Craig Sunday after
noon and charged with illegal fish
ing, according to a special dispatch
to the Ketchikan Chronicle.
The men fined are Y. Allan,
operator of the T-597, 5000, and
John Bogen, operator of the gas
boat Judith, $3.50. Both were ar
rested by A. P. Romine, bureau of
fisheries agent stationed at Craig,
who claimed that they were fish
ing at 4:30 Sunday afternoon.
The fines were imposed by Unit
ed States Commissioner Peters at
Craig yesterday. Both men have ap-
pealed their cases to the fall term
of court at Ketchikan.
1t was brought out at the trial
yesterday that when Romine seized
the boats no lines were in the wa
ter, but the poles on each boat were
down and the boats were circling
at trolling speed. There were no
freshly caught salmon on board
either boat at the time, it was said,
although there were iced fish in
their holds which evidently were
caught previous to Sunday and net
yet marketed.
