TO-DA Y,S SPORT PARADE

Nellie Flag got worse with the passing of the days. She would have nothing to do with the neigh bors' Allies, saying they were sis sies, and spent all her time tearing about the pasture with the colts.
 She was a tomboy and her par ents dreaded the day when she'd have to make her debut.
 Then Nellie, and the other grls, reached the age of 2, and 1t was tme for them to make their debut. From the time they stepped on the race track that was their coming out dance floor, Nellie-big gawky Nelie-was the talk of the party. A year has passed since that de- but and the other girls have been forgotten, but not Nellie, and to- day she was having enough nice things said about her to make up for the criticism of her youth.
 Nellie Flag, the ugly baby, the boisterous tomboy, is likely to be the favorite of the thousands when the Kentucky derby field answers the call at Churchill Downs to- morrow. She certainly will be if the rain holds up, for rough, tough Nellie likes the mud; likes the feel of the soft, slushy clay splashing on her legs. To hell with her skirts let 'em get muddy, she says.
 I'd like to see her do it, if only to give or Man O'War the satisfac- ton of running over to American Flags house and chuckling:
 "Weli, remember what told you. I said she'd be a help to her maw some day. Yes sir, knew all along Nelle had it in her."
 And imagine Nellie, being gal. would like to drop a postcard to those Allies who used to laugh at her when she was girl and say:
 "Girls, I hope you notced all those boys seeing Nellie home yesterday"

Detroit and Boston in GOOd-LOOking Series;
 Cubs to Face PhiIlies

~t7N@ FAF~ . >s-,Ar
 New York, May S.-(UP)-The vests vaunted strength in both major leagues was subjected to its first test today in opening intersec- tional clashes of the season.
 The pace-setting Cleveland In- dians of the American league, com. pliers of the highest winning aver age in either circuit, met the ath- letics, the casts cellar representa- tives.
 Detroit, the vests other chief pennant contender, emerging from a slump that cost nine of the first Ii games, faced the Red Sox at Navin field.
 Big Chance
 The Yankees, cast as standard bearers of the east, and less than two games out of the lead, had an opportunity to climb over the hap less Browns before engaging the second place White Sox. The Browns fell apart early and rest within one-haH game of the cel- lar.
 The surprising White sox who held the American league batting leadership, and second place in the standings opened their home stay against Washington.
 The National league intersec- tional juggle brought western teams to the seaboard for two weeks of battling that will offer a line on the Cardinals and con- tending Cubs in relation to the casts circuit-topping Giants.
 The Deans have won five of the Cardinals seven victories. but the champions were barely in the first division as they opened againststhe Braves.
 Looks Easy
 The Cubs came east as g. definite threat, game behind the Giants and a half behind the second place Dodgers. They had chance in their eastern opener to climb against the Phillies, hopelessly mired with two wins in II starts.
 This eastern shift probably will determine the ultimate fate of the Reds, one of the National leagues surprise teams. They opened against the Giants with record of 1S stolen. bases, 22 double plays and a triple play, indicative of the speed that has kept them in or near the first division from the start.
 Pittsburg's opening at Brooklyn brought on a series between two outfits generally regarded as un- fathomable on their early showing.
 No games were played yesterday.

 Louisville, Ky. May 3-(U.P.I .I No one ever heard them speak a word about it, but that charming equine couple, American Flag and Nellie Morse, must have been sore- ly disappointed when the veterin- arian left and they first laid eyes on ther bouncing daughter. Nellie Flag.
 For she was as an ungainly a Ally as ever kicked up her heels in a pasture. They do say that when her grandpappy, or Man. O'War, got hs first look at Nellie the near est thng to congratulation he could summon was snorting:
 Well, she may be great help to her maw when she grows up, but she don't look like much, now does she?"

New Haven, Conn, May B. (UP).-Yale and New York Uni- versity coaches today advocated practice football games between teams from different schools, after trying the experiment here yester- day.
 Both teams ended spring prac- tice in the game. played in strict secrecy under the direction of Coaches Raymond Pond of Yale and pr Marvin Stevens of N. Y. U.
 Although several touchdowns were made, no scrimmage was started inside the 20-yard line, and except on a few occasions the whistle was blown as soon as a ball-carrier had worked into the open and demonstrated the value of a play. Frequent halts were called to enable the coaches to point errors.

Here to COnUince
 Legislators tl,at Herring
 Reduction Plants Are OK.

Frankly a lobbyist, w. J. Imlach is in Juneau. He is here to do what he can to persuade the Twelfth Ter tori al Legislature that it should not abolish herring reduction plants in Alaska.
 In the first place, he is pleas ant, honest-faced Scotchman. Con- ing as he does from Scotland, via Canada, he can't help using Scottish accent in his converSa- tion. When the proper time comes, Imlach will marshal a neat array of facts and figures before the legislators in support of his case.
 MT. Imlach is president and owner of the Evans Bay Pack ing Company at Port Benny, near Latouche. Principally, the com pany packs herring. However, in connection with the plant is a herring reduction establishment for the manufacture of meal and oil.
 This type of pant is meeting with opposition, not only in the Territorial Legislature, but in Con- gress, as it was announced yes- terday that Alaska Delegate An thony J. Dimond had introduced a bill in Congress which, if passed, would greatly inhibit the operation of such concerns. The principal argument seems to be that many feel that the reduction plants are depicting the herring supply.
 MT. Imlach's arguments are sim pie and to the point.
 Since 1929, there has not been market for herring of nine and one-half inches in length" ht said last night.
 Only those herring above that measurement have been accepted by the buying public. A large part of our herring sales are made tc the Jewish trade. Immigration re- strictionS and the Americanization of United States resident Jews have caused a reduction in these sales, so that we can 'Scotch-cure only the larger herring.

Therefore, many herring pack CTS have turned to the meal and oil by-product business for reve- nues. In 1922, 65 per cent of all the herring packed measures nine and cne-half inches in length. Now, there is none of this size packed.
 T am not selfish. am an Alas kan, and have been since 1919. But, in Southeast Alaska, herring men must take at least 10000 barrels of herring to show profit each year. believe that if the herring supply ever becomes depleted so that these packers cannot catch that much herring, there still will be enough left in the water to serve as salmon and halibut bait.
 MT. Imlach starte in the ".Scotch-cure" herring business in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scot land, in 1900. From 1915 to 1918 he was concerned with the same business on the west coast of Van couver Island, Canada. Since then he has been established in Prince William Sound, Alaska, after hav- ing been for one year at Halibut Cove in Cook Inlet.
 Incidentally, MT. Imlach gave comparison of the manner of handling the present problem in Canada and in the United States In Alaska and in the States, the problem of whether the plants shall continue to reduce herring is handled by the legislatures. Sim liar problems in Canada would be handled by the courts, Imlach said MT Imlach represents west. ward herring packers. Louis Poluze also a Juneau visitor, is represent ing packers from Southeast Alas ka.
 The hearing on the herring re. auction problem by Territorial leg. islators will be held on February at o'clock. Lobbyist Imlacf will be there.
