OFFICERS SHOULD RESPECT
 LAW
fPetersburg Press

Petersburg Press)
 The four men caught fishing in Barnes Lake were on the spot. Not only were they fishing in closed area out of season, but they were caught by Commissioner Bell him self who was making a tour of in spection, accompanied by Congress- man Harlan and Charles Marsh of the Federal Trade Commission.
 Commissioner Bell ct al were in Petersburg last week for a brief stay, and have since gone to the westward on the Brant. Mr. Bell Is on an inspection tour for the Bur eau of Fisheries. Congressman Hal Ian. reported to have plans for huge naval base in Alaska, is more recently denying such news leakage.
 However, it is reported on good authority that the gentlemen were in anything but a sober state when the Brant was in port here. If tn at condition prevailed in Petersburg only, then local residents have req son to resent it. If it was similar ia other ports then just so many more AldShdnS nave iEaaOAl No A0AN N-A ception to it.
 What public officials do in pri- vate is a matter of privacy. What MT. Bell and the others do while the Brant is between ports is also something which the public need know nothing about.
 We are not making a moral issl, } of drinking But we are bringing this subject up as matter of prin- ciple. The fisheries of Alaska are important. Washington officials ] draw up regulations and the infrac- tion of them is subject to penalty. When officials from Washington come to the Territory, they mighl reasonably assume that Alaskans would like 10 discuss matters which concern them yitally and act ae- cordingly.
 Finally, and in general. those on the public payroll have a responsi- bility to the taxpayers, and if they want respect for the laws enacted they themselves should merit the respect of the public who are expeo- ted to conform to the legislation that is passed ad minimum.

That Canada is increasing the bounty on hair seals was revealed in a statement by the government to the effect that S7,500 bounty will be paid for the first 5000 hair seals destroyed on the Pacific coast, payments to be made on receipt of seal noses at the fisheries offices in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince Rupert. The hair seals are found most destructive to salmon, and the salmon fishing equipment.

All of which may be quite all right, but the layman in his ignor ance finds such questions as these arising in his mind:
 By what authority does a city magistrate have the right to refuse to hear any case in which a city ordinance has been violated and oi- lenders duly arrested by city DO, liCemen?
 What does his honor mean Ketchikan is not a wide open city?
 Does he apply the same reason In to all cases, When John Jones Is brought before him on drunk and disorderly charges does he refuse a hearing because he believes there are other drunks besides John Jones and that discrimination has been shown?
 If Ketchikan's gambling ordi- nance Is a mistake, why does not the city council revoke it at once?
 How does the city magistrate know when the gambling games are honest and when dishonest?
The Wrangell sentinel., 1936-07-17
SOME QUESTIONS

On the grounds of discrimination, City Magistrate j. +. Van Glider, according to the Ketchikan Chron- icle. Monday morning refused to hear case involving gambling. Saturday night, Officers Casey Will Hams and Jacob Zeldenrust entered the Smoke shop and ordered Olaf Nesthus, gamekeeper, a n d four players to appear in magistrate s court Monday morning on a charge of playing stud poker.
 "Other games are allowed to run" Magistrate Van Glider said, "and I fail to understand why 1 should be asked to sit in judgment on only one"
 Certain business places d fraternal organizations permit poh- CT to be played he said, and in many Of the games persons prom inent in the city are players.
 "I do not wish it inferred from this" he said, that Ketchikan Is 8 Wide-open town. IL isn't"
 In the past few years Magistrate Van Glider said, there have been few arrests by city officers for gambling until recently when a game on Totem way was raided. Games run honestly or played in fraternal halls for entertainment, have not been molested.
 It has been pointed out frequently in Ketchikan that il the city ordi- nance against gambling were to be strictly enforced, games conducted perfectly honestly and purely for entertainment would be stopped. At the same it would be necessary to arrest prominent, respectable citi- Zens.
 Many cities which adopt an easy attitude toward gambling contend that the opportunities for bribery to officers is thus lessened. Gam blers knowing they will not be mo- tested as long as they are fair, do not find it necessary to attempt buying their way to special privt- lege.
 Strictly, gambling takes in many innocent forms of amusement which would be outlawed if the laws were enforced to the letter.

First Title Match for Deck.

carried the games to 3-3 in the Sec
ond and after Stocklinski won his
service for 4E3 advantage, he and
Herb broke Allies service and then
made it two sets to none on Shenkin's
Although the eventual winners had
a 5-4 lead and a 30-all set-up in
the tenth game of the third set, the
Ritzenbergs rallied to take three
straight games. The ensuing TO-
minute pause apparently refreshed
only the SIS team, for after Matte
had won his service to start the final
set, the erstwhile underdogs ran of
six straight games for the match.
They received an ovation from the
unusually large crowd.
Although he has been playing pub
lie parks tennis for the last eight
years. today will be the first time that
Pat Deck ever has been in q cham
pionship match. Thirty years old, the
quiet, determined veteran never before
this year had passed the quarter finals
but he more than justified his No.
rating during the last week which has
seen him drop only two sets In five
matches.
In past matches with Ritzenbere
he always has beaten the Jewish lad
In view of that, and the contrasting
records of the two in the tournament
now ending, he reigns a slight IA
vorite to win his first public parks
championship.

Doubles Create Excitement.

HE winners will seek their second
successive doubles championship,
starting at o'clock. when they meet
Frances Walker BaSsett and Peggy
KeySer Smith, formidable contenders
for their crowns. It will be the sec
ond championship that Miss Moore
will endeavor to retain, she having won
in doubles last year with Mrs. Miller
In addition to gaining the singles title.
All Of the excitement of yesterdays
four matches was produced by the
doubles play, with Shenkin and Stock
linski causing the greatest thrills by
their defeat of the vaunted Ritzen-
bergs. With the first named setting
the pace with booming drives which
thundered down the side lines, Stock
linski caught the winning spirit late in
the first set and proceeded to tantalize
the Ritzenbergs with effective drop
shots which the latter did nothing but
net when they succeeded in reaching
them at all.
Shenkin and Stocklinski took 20
lead in the first set, and from them on
to the first game of the third set, which
the eventual losers won. they never
were in arrears. Allie tied the score
at 2-all In the first set on his service
and after the coming champs bad
swept to 5-3 lead, Nate capped q
rally by winning his service to tie at
SIS. But Stocky won his service and
then he and Shenkin broke Allies for
the first blood.

CRITIC ANSWERED
Cincinnati Offers Figures to
Show Game Is Same as

~ INCINNATI. July 25.-The
home of floodlight base ball
in the major leagues took ex-
~ ception to Hank De Berry's
remark that night games may be
fine for the fans but waste Of time
for him as a scout for the New York
Yankees.
You can't tell thing about pitch
ing at night One might be unbeatable
at night and in the afternoon be un-
able to get any one out" said De
Berry in Nashville, adding the same
applies to other players.
Reds Officials Produce Dope.
AN OFFICIAL of the Cincinnati
base ball club produced records
Of seven night games played last year
and five so far this season, and
asserted:
I'VE have practically the same kind
Of base ball at night as in the day
time. We have had 2-to-l decisions;
we have had extra-inning games, and
We have had suggests.
The consensus appears to be-" he
said. that while the game may look
little faster, it is not. Some batters
can hit better at night, the others
in the sunshine"
In Atlanta, Tom Sheehan, Cincin-
natl Red scout, said De Berry is right
to some extent, but so far as I'm con-
cerned, a good ball player will show up
as well at night as in the day"
Others Back De Berry.
A MOTHER quartet of scouts agreed
that night base ball performances
are no good for selecting talent.
Bobby Wallace Of the Reds, Ray
Cahill of the St Louis Browns, Clar-
ence Rowland of the Cubs and Eddie
Goosetree of Detroit said that pitching
records made at night have no value,
because the floodlights favored mound
men, and because fielders make errors
at night they would not likely make
under usual day game conditions.
The four scouts were in Columbus
to look over talent of Kansas City and
Columbus, American Association clubs.

Paddock, vacationing here from his

stop fighting"
You are Americas best swimming

may think about your training meth

But what will she think and Amer

"YOU were good enough to compete
in America when you trained
in the same way you have been doing
for the Berlin games. You were all
right SO long as you were helping fill
the Golfers of the A. A. u, but you
can concentrate on the Olympic for

your chance Of defending your Olym-

the nerve to face you after he had
thrown you off the team in disgrace.

good shotmakers as Roger Peacock,
Levi Yoder, Russ Hollebaugh and
Ernie Caldwell And that isn't all
He will go on to more and probably
bigger championships.
THREE years after he took up golf
he qualified for the national anna
teur tournament, and shot a 10 in
the qualifying round at Cincinnati,
the finest score Of the day, to get in
safely where lot Of gents who had
been in the showcase 10 years longer
failed to make the grade. He is an
inventor, and a member Of Rolling
Road, over in the pleasant suburb of
Catonsville, near Baltimore, and there
isn't straighter guy hitting the ball
than this same Overton. That goes
for his tee shots and his golf manners.
He will be in there at Columbia a
month hence trying to qualify for
that same national, and he probably
will make the group who travel up to
Garden City In September. He fools
around with golf clubs, virtually re-
making them, and he believes in clean
grips. IF you get dirt on the club
grip it's apt to slip. particularly in
hot weather" he says. AS putter
he is one of those dizzy fellows who
tries to hole everything anywhere near
the hole. And he does, too frequently
for the comfort Of the boys who try
to lick him. Give him six more years
and this same Overton is going to be
plenty tough to lick.

assistant pro. took day of last week
and went fishing with DR.. Paul Stew

That is, the rest of them were fish

and a shower bath. Banagan has a
unique record. He is the only man
who has gone fishing recently and
watched the others catch fish while
he went without a fish or even a bite.
You can have your rods" said 'Red,"
after enduring agonizing hours of
tossing around on the lumpy surface
Of Chesapeake Bay he had landed
on the oyster-strewn shore. Give me
hand line, when you can tell whether
you have a bite and get the fish in
when you get him on. AS for me, I'll
do my fishing from the dock here
after"
1t all came about because the bay
played a dirty trick on Red" 1t
sneaked up on him when he wasn't
looking, so to speak. AS matter of
fact, it sneaked up on him when he
was asleep. Red" sat in chair. his
head on the rail, fast asleep. tired of
trying for fish that wouldn't hook
themselves. Kind of lumpy, it was out
there on the bay that day. The boat
lay in a trough and one big breaker
slapped the high side of the craft,
sending a ton, more or less, of brack-
ish water into the cockpit Red"
woke up swimming, thrashing his
arms as If already he had started
