About twenty-five years ago Mlke Gibbons was earning the appalat-on of The Phantom by beating men like Willie Lewis, Young Erne, Jack Denning, Sailor Burke and others in eastern rings.
 His success stirred the followers of the fistic sport in his home town of St. Paul into campaign to have boxing legalized in Minnesota so that they might see the local boy in action without having to travel hundreds of miles.
 The measure permitting boxing in the state was passed in the spring of 1915, thanks to the Twin Cities by Mikes ring success.
 Hard on Mikes trail-blazing ring campaign a wave of fistic enthusi- asm swept over the youth of that part of the country with the result that Minneapolis became veritable hot-bed for building ring prospects. Many a fine fighter came up in the rush to emulate the Phantom. Mikes younger brother Tommy, Mike O'Dowd, Billy Miske, Jock Malone, Johnny Ertle, Fred Foulton, Kink Tut, My Sullivan and Johnny Nichols are but few of the flock that came on to win national fame in the ring.
 Another Gibbons Gets Elm
 Today another Gibbons has ar reused interest in boxing in that section. It is the old Phantom's son Jack this time.
 The youngster seems to have in- herited a fair share of his famous fathers ring wizardry, for he has won 47 successive fights and has brought back fans who had lost in- terest in ring battles years ago.
 If young Jack continues to inn prove as he has done in the last six mcnths-and there is no reason why he should not--he may arouse the fans of Minneapolis and St. Paul to fever heat just as his daddy did a generation ago.
 Old Mike is bringing the youth along slowly Carefully picking the spots but at the same time increas- ing the caliber of his opponents with each start.
 The younger Gibbons is rapidly picking up poise and confidence with the result that he is not only improving defensively but is putting more snap into his punches.
 Jack is learning how to relax and husband his strength and to pace himself to go the route. The experi- ence he has gained in the last six months has greatly improved his general effectiveness.
 Dad Will Be Careful
 Ringsiders report that he put up a well nigh perfect fight against the hard hitting Lee Savoldi in ringing up his 46th victory. He boxed the ten rounds with out making single mistake. His timing of punches, footwork and strategy

of leaving his son in the ring game to become cut and battered while going nowhere There are too many other things to which the youth can apply his talents if he is not of ring championship caliber.
 Old Mike was always rated as q smart" fighter so there is no par ticular reason why he should sud- denly lose his cunning where his sons ring future is concerned.

 Parachute jumping and strato- sphere flying are two fields in which the Bolsheviks, experiment constantly. The state has sponsor ed contests of rocket motors, which Soviet scientists think eventually will prove the proper means of propulsion above the stratosphere.
 Millions of Youths Jump
 Towers for parachute jumps have been erected in various parts of the union and recently an order was issued which obliges millions of young men and women to make at least one jump this year AL ready some 100000 Russians have experienced the thrill of a jump by far the largest number of any country in the world.
 Stories have come out of Russia that the air force can transport a whole army division over all ene- my line and drop it in parachutes, out there is no confirmation of them here.
 They are samples of the tales that have built up the red air forces prestige abroad-tales that coupled with the shroud of official secrecy make Russia's power in the skies a profoundly intriguing enig- ma.

 Rise Is Rapid
 From that point MT. Bernet's progress was rapid. In succession he became a telegraph operator, train dispatcher, train master, as- sistant superintendent. division sup erintendent, assistant general sup erintendent, general superintend ent, and then president of the New York Central Lines west of Buffalo, that system having &C., quired the Lake Shore and Mich igan Southern.

They began looking for the best man to run their railroad and make it pay dividends and found him in MT. Bernet. Then when the Van Swer- ingens got control of the Erie they put MT. Bernet at it's head and he duplicated the success he had had with the Nickel Plate. In 1929 it was decided that Bernet was need ed as head of the Chesapeake and Ohio, the main stem around which the Van Sweringens planned a fourth trunk line system in the East and he was made President of that road in succession to w.

Impressive Shows Staged


 Lest anyone tsount that results have really been obtained. Soviet leaders every now and then drop pointed hints They say just enough to excite the imagination, stir pop ular pride and keep the rating high. On the rare occasions when the air force is on display they stage an impressive show.
 For the rest, factory doors are closed, access to military hangers is had by the select few and precise figures are never made public. He who goes in search of data on the red air force finds in the end that he can do no more than avarage up estimates and guesses.
 The average places the total number of machines at more than 2,000-possibly 2,500 A fast, light fighting plane, of which some 300 are believed to be in service, is the forces most efficient known weapon. Bombers are thought to total 500 or more. There is great supply of reconnaissance machines, servicable but reputedly slow.
 Mass production facilities are as much mystery as the fleet itself There is no doubt that they have been developed to respectable ex- tent, but only rough guesses can be made as to the number of ships that could be turned out and how soon emergency production could get into swing.
 Motor Production Vital
 Parties interested in the subject base their doubts not on the Rus sians ability to produce the planes themselves, but on facilities for mass production of motors. Official secrecy being what it is, however, they do not exclude possibility of surprise.
 Although large number of ma- chimes are concentrated in the far east-200 at least, observers be- lieye-the bulk of the force remains where it could be quickly brought into play on the European front.
 Announcement was made recently that Soviet experts had succeeded in adapting ordinary automobile mo- tors for such powering planes Planes to run on such motors can

RESULTS YESTERDAY Moose 10; Elks q.

WhefsWillianls Shakespeare wrote "The Comedy of Errors" he did not dedicate it to the Juneau City Baseball League. But, from the antics of the Elks and the Moose last night at Baseball Park, the famed English bard might just as well have made the dedication-it would have been fitting one.
 After six and half innings of some of the poorest fielding seen all season, the seoreboard showed that the Moose had beaten the Elks 10 to ' This victory now places the Black Sox full game ahead of the Legion for the second half championship with only six more games to be played.
 Periodically, the player who led the error brigade was none other than Walt Andrews, genial Moose first-baseman who, on Monday was tabled as the leagues best fielding player with release of fielding averages. But that .9Sd average of Andrews is thing of the past The Black Sox star bob bled three plays in the first inning and will have to make many putt outs to make up for that trio of CT TOTS.

 Even more amazing is the way MacPhail has performed his small miracle. In mid-season last year he brought Charlie Dresse from Nashville to manage the team. That was all right for Charlie is ac- knowledged to be one of the smart est in the business of ball playing.
