QUEERS
B0ASTFUL ENEMY
Twice Beats Coach Potsy
Clark, Who Be|ittIed
Him as Mentor.
BY BILL DIsMER, Jr.

Il can beat any team coached by
Ray Flaherty," Potsy Clark, coach OF
the Brooklyn Dodgers, once was heard
to say. So far. Potsy-between whom
and our own Mr.. Flaherty no love is
lost-has yet to fulfill his threat in
three games since Flaherty began
coaching in 1886
Flaherty still was assistant coach of
the Giants when the Redskins played
Clark's last Detroit Lion team in 1885
and last year F'lahertys team whipped
Clark's first Brooklyn team twice, Ill
and 2l-0. This year the Dodgers and
Redskins tied. 1916.
But according to reports drifting
southwark from Long Island, where
the Dodgers are preparing for Sundays
game at Ebbets Field with the Red
skins, Potsy has the best chance Of
making his assertion come true two
days hence than he ever had.
Faces Elimination.
Brooklyn has to win or face elimina-
ton from the race for the Eastern
championship Of the National Football
League. A win from the Redskins
would do more than just keep their
hopes alive. it would leave them only
one game behind the present pace
settlers who, if defeated, would drop
into rst-pIace tie with the Giants.
The Dodgers, however, are not bank
ing merely on desperation to carry
them through. So serious have they
been in their daily practices this week
that twice they have held secret work.
outs during which, it is said. they
have developed some trick plays de-
signed especially to upset the cham
pions. Indeed, they're not so sure
that the Redskins haven't spy some
where in their vicinity and they grew
so suspicious one day they stopped
practicing while an airplane-which
might have been a Redskin scout
passed over the field.
Farrell Gets Chance.
Because Scrapper Farrell proved
such a sensation when inserted into
the game against the Giants in the
fourth quarter last week, Clark is
planning to start him against the
champions. That will give him a.
backfield of four fairly good backs,
including. besides Farrell, Ace Parker,
Beattie Feathers and Tony Kaska.
At present, Farrell and Parker are
ranked among the first 13 ground
gamers of the league. the Scrapper
being the third leading ball-carrier
with 252 yards-or an average of a.
yards a rush-and Parker's 160 yards
giving him an average Of 3 yards q
carry. And only two men in the
league, Ed Danowski of the Giants
and Jack Robbins of the Cardinals,
have completed more passes than
Parker, who has thrown SO successful
ones in six games.

KipIing Easy to Steel From

Getting back to the Poet Kipling, by

When the Himalayan peasant meets

He shouts to scare the critter, which
will often step aside;
But the 1njun thus accosted
scalps the peasant without

For the Dartmouth of the species
is more deadly than the Yale.
Maybe the Poet Lardner has used
that before, but if he hasn't you can
be sure that the Poet Kipling has

F. s. Barnes, Wrangell candidate for the House of Representative in the Territorial election of Septem- Der 13. is entering the campaign on a platform whose basic principles are to further the interests and vel fare of seiners and trollers.
 Mr. Barnes advocates that a tax be put on the take of all fish traps to create a fund which will be dis tributed to bona fide Alaska resi- dents to assist them in building up a bigger and better purse seine fleet.
 This he would incorporate in a revenue bill and the act. if so adopted. would work similar to the Federal Housing Act as a bona fide Alaska resident would be able to put up a given amount of money and have it matched out of this fund to build himself a purse seine boat
 A similar tax is advocated by Mr Barnes to be put on the herring by products manufactured in Alaska and set up in a fund for the bene- fit of the Alaska trollers.
 Inadequately Equipped
 Tt has been my observation after thirty years in the fish business in MT Barnes said today, that Alaska seiners have been in adequately equipped to meet com petition of fish traps and the su- perior type Puget Sound seine boats fishing these waters and it is inn peratiYe that Alaskans have boats of comparable efficiency if they are 10 make a decent living.
 The trollers, MT. Barnes believes, are in a somewhat better position than seiners, as to their floating but as their competition is increasing. and in addition fer tilizer plants are cutting in on the food for troll caught fish, the troll CTS also need better equipment to enable them to go further offshore in order to make a living.
 Ownership Privilege
 T do not believe that it is pos sible to eliminate fish traps in the near future", Mr Barnes stated,

Republicans Set Basis
 Delegates Convention

That the present Republican or ganization under Albert D. White in Juneau, plans to use the number of votes cast for delegate in the Sep tember 13 election, instead of the vote ill the primaries as basis for apportionment of delegates to the l940 convention was announced in telegram sent out from Juneau yesterday by Elton D. Engstrom, chairman of the Republican central committee in Alaska.
 White is Republican candidate for delegate. Opposed to Delegate Tony Dimond, his vote will be very light.
 According to the telegram "the number of delegates from each pre- cinct and each division will prob ably be appOrtioned by the central committee according to the vote cast for delegate in that division this year. It is therefore important that every precinct and every division make a real effort to bring out big votes for the entire Republican ticket in order that all precincts and districts may be represented in the selection of delegates to the Repub- liean national convention of 194O."

DEFECTIVE WIRING CAUSES
 FIRE COULTER APARTMENT

 The apartment has been occupied during the summer by Mrs. Bessie Anderson and Mrs. Herb Scanlon. Mrs. Anderson had turned on the current in the electric range She went into the living room and through the open door saw a thin blue line shoot out from the stove, then in flash the room was ablaze. The loss to the Coulters, it is said, is fully covered by insurance.

 GETS 2-DAY
 EXTENSION

L. c. Wingard, of the Bureau Of Fisheries, announced yesterday at Ketchikan that a two-day extension of fishing operations had been granted to seine and trap fishermen in that district
 The decision was made after an extensive trip by plane to various fishing grounds in that district and interviews with eannery operators by Fisheries officials.
 The season, which was to have closed at 6 D. m. Thursday. August IS will be open until D. m. Sat urday. August goth.
 Ketehikan eannerymen expressed the belief that the two-day exten- sion will enable them to put up pack equal to last years 840.0O0 cases. Seine fishermen, however, 1t is stated were not so optimistic, be- ing of the opinion that the extension of trap operations will prevent the seiners from making any marked showing.

Game Hunt Recalled By Banker
 Now Visiting Wrangell

J. c. Snyder, cashier and vice. president of the Metamora State Bank, Metamora, Illinois, Mrs. Sny- der and their daughters, the Misses Eula and Lois Snyder, are spending a week in Wrangell following their return from taking the Telegraph Creek trip last week.
 They had a good time every mo- ment of the trip and found the scenic beauty of the Stikine to be far greater than they had anticipated. They enjoyed fully the delightful spirit which prevails on the Bar rington boats, the excellent cooking of Chef Jack Wilson and the hos pitality extended at the Ball ranch.
 The family made a. previous trip to Alaska in 1919, when MT Snyder came north on a big game hunt. While he was out his wife and little girls stayed at Juneau and Skagway
 MT. Snyder's hunting companions were Dr. A. H. Evans of Eagle Pass, Texas, and G. 0. Young, of Buck harmon, West Virginia. They went by steamer to Cordova and from there by train to Mccarthy, where they were met by Jean Jacquot and Morley Bones, guides and outfitters from Lake Kluane and Whitehorse.
 The 60-day hunt back on the headwaters of the White river and up its tributary, the Generc river yielded 51 fine trophies of moose, caribou, sheep, goats and bear.
 The outfit carried whipsaw and at the end of the hunt lumber was whipsawed and a flat boat built to take out the trophies, the 20 horses of the pack train not being able to take on so much additional weight Jacquot, the horse wrangler and two Indians took leave of the hun tsyx and McrleY Hones and headed t7k9 hasssz hack ta Lake Kluanet-
