UNALASKA ROOMS WITH MANY AIDS
 TO BETTER LIVING

The shortage of 5000 barrels of herring, as represented by the Un- alaska pack this year as compared with 1885, will be more than offset by the good prices that prevail be- lieyes Deputy U. s. Marshal w. c. Brown, who was in town the other day on his way to his Westward headquarters from Valdez, says the Seward Gateway.
 There are seven shore stations about Unalaska and Dutch Harbor.
 Herring Coming Back
 But, the fact that herring did not run strong this season, does not dampen the ardor of Unalaska peo- pie. who feel that the lessened run is but a temporary affair.
 Anyhow there was plenty to do for all hands that wanted to work. Even though the bigger companies brought up help from the outside, all available gibbers and packers were kept busy; there was the usual exodus of fishermen to Bristol Bay areas; Pribilof Islands took up lot of slack. and now all able-bodied men, and some of the women, are out on trip lines.
 Activities for next season at Un- alaska will commence in March, when the first delegations of work CTS begin to arrive, and it is ce-- tainty that there will be nothing less done than in 1886, and perhaps more.
 Trappers for Island
 H E. Bowman, of the Kanaga Ranching Co, has made his first of the seasons trip to fox islands, taking trappers and supplies, and shortly will return for the balance of crews.
 There were a half-dozen cutters in and out of Unalaska during the summer just past, and two navy air planes were on hand concluding survey started earlier.
 But regarding the possibility of navy airbase. or Qualifications about unaiaska. or other islands. MT. Brown had nothing to say.
 His jurisdiction extends from False Pass to Attu Island and that keeps him too busy to go much into other matters.

knocked out by Joe Louis.
 Despite the fact Brescia lasted only two and one-half rounds against the Bomber, Philadelphia Jack thinks that Brescia, who is young and willing, and who cleo trified the crowd at the Hippo drome with his gallant smashes against Louis, will turn out to be a great fighting machine in year.
 He was timid against Louis, Jack says, and he was bothered by his nose after catching one high in the first round. If lie had fol- lowed instructions, and boxed Louis some more, instead of mixing pun ches, it might have been different"
 In the pargon of the ring Louis is counter-puncher,S and at his best when the attack is brought to him. But Brescia, in the brief time he lasted, also showed counter punching talent. So much for him.
 High above Broadway Philadelphia Jack is still doing business at his old stand, a gymnasium, where he teaches young men-about-town the manly art of self defense and barks setting up exercises to both sexes. Time was when Jack hopped into the ring to fight. That's all past now, though he still looks plenty fit.
 Into the building where his gym is located, bound for Jacks place, come old time fighters, to sit around and talk over the old days, and young men of powerful build and hefty beam, to doff their street clothes don fighting trunks and put up their mitts under O'Brien's sharp gaze. They are the young hcpefuls who believe that if Phila- delphia Jack O'Brien places his stamp of approval on them, cham pionships may be within their reach.

SPORT SLANTS
By Pap

Gunnar Barlund of Finland won many supporters when he took a decision from the clever and ex- perienced Abe Feldman. The Finn showed himself to be tireless, with cool head and a stiff right hand punch that he knows how to use intelligently. It took Barlund a couple of rounds to solve Feld- mans style, but, once he did, he gave his more experienced oppo- nent a mighty busy and most un- pleasant evening.
 His marvellous physical condition served to make Barland look all the more impressive in the second fight he has had in this country His entire professional experience has been crowded into Is bouts, most of which ended in short or der.
 It was George Godfrey, the giant negro fighter, who recommended Barlund to Paul Damski, who now handles the Finn. Godfrey could do nothing with the youngster in six rounds and was so impressed that he urged Damski to sign the Finn
 After watching Barlund score over Ben Foord, present heavyweight champion of the British empire, Damsgi went after the boy. The first bout Barlund had under Dam skis management was against Pat Marrinan, the heavyweight cham pion of Ireland, whom Gunnar stopped in two rounds. Then he headed for America.
 From Farming Family
 Gunnar comes from good stock His folks are farmers in the vicin- ity of Helsingfors, and the boy worked on the farm in his off hours from school He didn't relish farm work so he joined the Finnish navy. in which he served for year He was young giant as a kid and when he was 16 years old he had his first amateur bout in Moscow.
 Piavo Nurmi, renowned runner of another day, was his most fla nous coach. Pavo saw plenty in the youth, who though at first he'd like to emulate Nurmi's running deeds. He showed great promise on the cinder path but Nurmi advised Gun mar to foresake running for the ring, particularly after he had seen Bar lund in several amateur bouts
 Gunnar earned plenty of renown abroad as champion of various sections of Europe, but his crown ing achievement was recorded when he won the European heavyweight championship at Budaepst in 1884 In the final he beat Runge, the German, who today wears the Olympic boxing crown. In Sep tember of the same year he turned professional and beat Jeff Wilson of England, in one round.
