GOV. TROY ON THE AIR MAIL ISSUE

Gov. John w. Troy, in interview in Seattle, has cleared up erroneous reports emanatng from Denver that he favored an inland air mail route to the Terri tory Questioned in Seattle by reporters about re- port published in Denver paper the Governor salo'
 T never said that. I have always believed that the Coast route from Seattle IS the most logical I am still firmly of that opinion One reason for this is that most Of our mall comes from Seattle and Pacific Coast states. Juneau should be the Alaska terminus because it is the most popuous part of the Territory From Juneau air mail can be distributed to all parts of the Territory"
 Pointing out that the Governors statement clarl- fies the issue John Boettiger's Seattle Post Inteigencer makes this editorial comment on the interview:
 Governor Troy of Alaska helps crystaze the issues in the controversy over the air route between the territory and the United States by mailing the false representation widely clr- cuated from Denver, Edmonton and other intermountan points, that he favors an ln- terior route
 coastal route, with Seattle and Juneau as termin is more logical Governor Troy explains because Juneau is the most populous section of Alaska and because most of Aaskas business is done with through Seattle
 Alaska deserves air mail service, and the welfare of Alaska should be the determining factor in selecting the route.
 Governor Troy undoubtedly speaks for the people of Alaska.
 His repudiation of the propaganda that represents him as favoring the interior route leaves the promoters of that project little ar gument to stand upon, outside of their own desires to upset the established lines of com munication and business between Alaska and the United States.

SCRAP FOR CHANCE
AT STEELE'S CROWN
Apostoli Is 8-to-5 Choice Over
Krieger, Whom He Outpointed
in Previous Bout.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 14-souy Krie-
ger Of Brooklyn and Fred Apostoli
Of San Francisco, two Of the better
challengers for Freddie Steele's mid
dleweight title, will have it out at
flsticuffs tonight at the Hippodrome,
with the possibility that the winner
will meet Steele in an outdoor bout
this Spring.
Betting on the bout has been light.
Members of Caulifower Rows inner
circle attribute this to the reluctance
of the bettors to hazard much on a
bout in which Kreiger appears. AL
though Apostoli is favored at to S,
Kreiger is known as a hard man to
fight.
Apostoli, who won a previous bout
between the two, is confident that he
can repeat and says "it looks to me
as if am going to have to fight Solly
this time, instead of boxing him."
Kreiger feels sure he can reverse
the previous outcome and points to
a longer fight, II instead of 10
rounds. and better physical condition
as reasons for his optimism. The lure
OF the outdoor fight with Steele should
prove powerful stinulant to the
boys. Mike Jacobs, Twentieth Gen.
fury Club promoter, has offered Steele
$4,000 to put his title in jeapordy
against the winner.

night handing frankie Wallace, a
pretty tough customer from Cleveland,
thorough trouncing in an eight
rounder at the Broadway Arena.
Canzoneri didn't look as good as he
was few years ago, but he dished out
plenty of punishment when he really
tried. A hard right sent Wallace to
the canvas in the fifth.
The Clevelander landed good
many punches, but Tony took most of
them on the top Of his head or on his
arms so they did little damage.

Western Gets Early Lead.

WESTERN wasted little time in
puncturing Central's hopes OF
getting somewhere in the title
scramble, pumping home four runs in
the second inning and adding six more
in the third to give more than a slight
indication of which way you should
have laid your money.
George Oertel. with triple included
among his four hits, and Johnny Ala
foginas. with home run sandwiched
among his three safeties, led the shell
lacking of Centrars alleged pitchers,
while Dick Smith and Ace Zimmerman
gave Central a small measure of con-
ISOLATION by twice hitting safely.
The real hero of Westerns over
whelming victory, however, was young

Central's seven hits and otherwise con-
trolled his southpaw slants in ap-
proved fashion.
