Boston, Doc, l6-(UP)-IettinR the sports chips fall where they may:
 For tho beneflt of customers In Connecticut, Providence, Springfield and Worcester, President Bob quinn of tho Boston Bees definitely has not given up hope of getting major league club owners interested In reviving minor league baseball In this section next summer. ..
 Re said 30 himself only 0 couple of hours ago. quinn Is willing if tho cities concerned would show more than passing interest, .. To reports the Bees might transfer their Scranton farm to Hartford, Guinn has no comment, Simplest rea- sons is that right now quinn is do. voting oil his attention to building up tho Bees for the ieS8 campaign, The Scranton thing will be looked Into later. ..
 In case somebody wants to know how the Red soX will line up ct tho start of the i938 campaign, here y'are, Joe Vosmik, Doc Cramey and Ben Chapman in tho outfleld; Jimmy Foxx at first, Nohby DoERR 2b; Manager Joo Cronin, ss; Pinky Higgins, 3b. And Young Johnny Peacock will probably do Q lot of the catching. At least, that's what General Manager Eddie Collins "un. derstands" the setup will Dc. ..
 You'll notice that Doerr Is In there instead of Eric MeNa!r. That'i because MeNair probably will Do ir c Cleveland uniform next year. ..
 The 1887 batting averages released c couple of days ago showed thai Foxx batted an unimposing .28b. Flu and sinus plagued jimmy's work at the plate. If tho truth were known, there were days during the past season when Jimmy was e pret' ty sick man, but played just th( same. While he sufseerd in silence some of the wolves thought he wasn't trying.
 Whats oil this talk about the Ave. man line being new wrinkle ir football? Shucks, the immortal Percy Haughton used It ct Harvard as far back as 1914.
 Two of the outstanding linemer on Dartmouths undefeated i93t football team are boxing champions of the Hanover campus. Captain and right end Merrill (Stinky) Davis is the heavyweight champ. And right guard Gus zitrides Is tn, light heavyweight title holder. .
 Head Coach Eddie Anderson oI Holy Cross believes that the sleeT a football player gets on Q Thurs day night is more valuable thar the snooze of the Friday night be. fore a game. If you're asking us sleep is nice work any time-if yol can get 1t! -.

 Armstrong Full.Grown Lightweight
 Armstrong has earned s90,000 since fat Eddie Mead telephoned Al Jol- son at Saratoga In August of last year to advise the nanny singer that he could purchase the boys contract from Wirt Ross for $7,500 in Los Angeles.
 It will be Q meeting of full grown lightweights when Ambers and Arm- strong hook up. While he says he may try 1t once more, Armstrong is not likely to do l26 pounds again He's growing rapidly. and sealed 134h pounds for his breeze in Cleveland.
 Armstrong may have been the finest featherweight in 20 years. but 1t may be 6 different story when he crawls in there with Ambers.
 It's quite a jump from the Baby Arizmendis, Mike Belloises. and Pc. tey Sarrons to even such light hitting lightweight as Ambers. Int majority of Armstrong's victims were knocked out in the dressing room. Ambers will be unafraid.
 They all look great winning, arlt in the instance of ole Louis itw a! demonstrated how easily it is fol critics to slop over on just above the-average performer as he plow' through mediocre talent.
 Armstrong's opposition has beer nearly as weak as was that o1 Louis.
 Perhaps in his case. too. 1t is jus as well to withhold judgment unti he fights someone worthwhile.

TITLE II" Old Age Benefits

Under this Title annual install
 ments, called "annuities" will be
 paid by the Federal Government to
 those entitled to receive them. A fund, known as the "Old Age
 Reserve Account is set up by Gov ernment and all old-age benefits are paid out of it; while the ad- ministration and carrying out of the Old-Age Assistance Plan Gas described in Title D will be ad- ministered by the Territory. The Old-Age Benefit Plan is run by the Government alone. The Terri tory will have no part in it what ever. It is a system of old-age insurance payable to those entitled thereto; it is financed by taxes based on the wages or salary earn | ed by those coming within the terms of the act. The taxes are paid by employers and employees alike.
 Old-Age Benefits have nothing to do with need; they are based on what you earn between January II, 1887, and the time you are 6S years old; they are paid to you as a matter of right-because you and Iyour employer have paid for the
 same; they are paid to the man earning $10O,OOOOO a year salary as well as to the washwoman working
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-01-05

Territorial Unemployment Compen- sation Act our employers will nev- ertheless be required to pay the taxes mentioned and neither, they, their employees nor the Territory will receive any benefit from such payments, and here is the prtn- ciple reason why the Territory may practically be compelle6 to inaug- urate the system, cumbersome and expensive though it may prove under our conditions.
 As already stated the Federal Act requires certain prerequisites for approval of Territorial unemploy- ment compensation law. Such an act must provide that all moneys paid into the fund will be deposited in the U. s. Treasury and that un- employment compensation cannot be denied to employees out on strike or lockout, or out of work because of refusal to work at waSag substantially lower than those pre- vailing in the locality for the same class of work.
 Many of the States have enacted such legislation and it would seem to me that, considering the ques- ton from all it's angles, we of this Territory should do likewise.
