.STEvEMAMAKOS,
ABRAMSREVERSE
TRAINING STYLE
Greek Spurns Speed
To Develop Punch
BY BOB ADDIE

| AZ viz ANNOPOCA AAAN VA bOAAAAO
that when man trains for a
fight he picks as Sparring mates
those who closest resemble his foes
style. But our local punch-pitch-
ers have different ideas on the
subject.
George Abrams, a boxer, is meet
ing Steve MamakoS, a slugger who
moves like a truck with flat tires
over a marshy field. The natural
conclusion is that Abrams will use
tough, rugged boys in training
those who are carbon copies of the
Greek Guillotineer.
SCRAMBLED LOGIC
George, however, is doing his
Sparring with Pancho Huerta, a
little featherweight who glideS
around that rope-flanked square
like scared ghost. Little Pancho,
with dirty look in each eye,
doesn't weight more tnan 124
pounds. Then there's Kid HOWE,
colored lightweight, who also is
quite a Jesse Owens in the ring.
What's the point, we wondered.
Surely, Mamakos is training with
speedy guys. But peep into Steve's
quarters reveals the Greek work
ing With Murray Hammer, heavy
weight!
The scrambled logic, as near as
We could decipher it, is this. Alb
rams believes he needs speed to
beat Mamakos and George is con-
centrating on his speciality.
GEORGE WANTS SPEED
II know Mamakos' style well
enough" Abrams explains, so
that think it's foolish to sac
rifice speed. Steve won't hit
me the way he's hit a lot of
these flat-foot buns" eve
thought he was going to say
Flat Foot Floogies" because
George does a pretty fair Sui
@ when he's fighting0
Steve has the same answer to
the riddle. AS the Greek boy sees
it, Abrams can't punch hard
enough to dent taffy.
my best bet is to walk right
into him." Steve said. HE can't
hurt me and if he'll only stop
holding and grabbing and make
a real fight out of it, I'll blast
him out of the ring"
The pre-War talk no doubt has
been planted in the boys mouths
by their respective managers but
each, strangely enough, approach
es this fight without the slightest
qualm. These kids have known
each other so long, it's neigh
borhood feud. You can't fear a
boy you've grown up with but you
can be mighty jealous of him and
want to knock his block off. That
seems to be the situation here.
OLD RIVALRY
It's nice to have the old gang
slap you on the back, but when
you have to share the cheers and
slaps with another guy, it isn't
so hot-especially when the other
guy is somebody you know you
can lick. Abrams believes Mama
kos is just as easy to beat now
as he always was. Georges plan
of attack seems to be to step
around Steve and work a right
hand uppercut in close.
MamakoS, of course, will just
march in there and start flinging.
Steve, whether or not he has found
new punch, can really jar a foe
now, and he's getting smarter
every fight.
Abrams anticipated little trouble
in making the required 154-pound
limit. After sparring six rounds
yesterday, George weighed 1855.
MamakoS will come in at 149
pounds. Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn reports a healthy interest
in tickets for the scrap, which will
be held at Griffith Stadium Mon
day night.

Buck" Newsom.
Along with Wesley came his
brother Rick, one of the few good
catcherS in all organized baseball,
as well as Outfielder Mel Armada.
Since the trade which shook the
baseball world at the time, Armada
has gone to the st. Louis Browns
Gin exchange for Outfielder
Sammy West), and Newsom has
also Joined the Browns out of
the Boston Red Sox.
Difficult to Handle
Ferrell's release today is star
Ting, because while he is known
to be difficult to handle and given
to spells of high temper, he hap
pens to be the leading pitcher of
the club with a winning mark of
Is games and losing record of 8.
In % games during which he
has pitched 148 innings, he has
yielded 1913 hits, issued 81 bases
on balls, struck out SO batters, but
completed only 8 of the games
he started.
Thus his record is a bit deceiv-
ing, because too often he has got
ten in hot water and had to have
relief before he was batted out of
box.
The passing Of Yves Terrell from
the washington team as its lead
ing pitcher has a parallel in the
case Of Walter Dutch" Reuther.
Back in 1926, in the very month
of August incidentally, Reuther
was waived to the New York
Yankees when he was setting the
pace for Washington hurlers with
a record of IL victories and 6 de.
feats.
Cleveland Discovery
Yves Terrell was picked up by
the Cleveland Indians from a
Semi-profesSional team in East
Douglas, Mass, in 1927 and after
pitching one inning of one game
in which he issued two bases on
balls and allowed three hits, was
farmed to Terre Haute for the
season Of 1928.
Toward the latter part, he came
back up to the Indians where he
lost two games, allowing five bases
on balls and issuing Is hits.
Terrell remained with Cleveland
through 1888 and in 1881, on April
20, pitched a no-hit game against
the st. Louis Browns.
Boston took him over in 1894,
during which season he won IA
and lost five games.
The following year Wesley won
IS and lost IA for Boston, and in
1896 his wins were 20 against Is
losses.
For Boston and Washington
last season, Ferrell's record was IA
won and 10 lost. During last sea-
son Terrell issued 325 base hits
more than any other pitcher iE
either major league.
Terrell did not put on a Wash
ington uniform today, having re
ported directly to President Gri
fifth, receiving his walking papers
and his final check from the club

Rogers--Post Party Relate Details
 Expedition

Guests in Nome for a few days are members of the Will Rogers Willy Post Expedition, which is making short stop-over hare as a break in the long trip to Pt. Barrow. The party has travelled up the coast from California in the Pandora, a 38-foot diesel crui ser, owned and explained by pr. Homer Kellums. who is head man of the expedition.
 The idea of erecting a memor- ial marker on the scene of the Post-Rogers disaster is one whi- oh appeals to every An-rican.
 Dr. Ke elums, Dr.Roy Curtis, Will mer Sims, and John Kayser, are all citizens of Oklahoma and Texas, and il seems particularly fitting that they, who know so well the section of tha country which was home to VIII Rog,rs, should undertake the erection of this monument in the far-aWay place where he met his death.
 The expedition has received the personal cooperation and ap- proVal of the rooS- 1"o'-'-e7t "f

United States officials, including President Roosevelt. The Bur eau of Indian Affairs is aiding greatly in arranging for ths tran sportation of materials, and the dedicating of the marker. The Coast Guard has promised un- limited cooperation in any capac- itY the expedition migh: desire. The monument ston., together with other building supplies. is being taken to Barrow by the U. s. Cutter Northland.
 The expedition is being fnanc- ed by the members of the party, but at last a part of the expen- ses will be defrayed by the sale of souvenir envelopes which will be mailed from Barrow on .he day of dedication, August 18th. The Pandora has aboard about twelve hundred covers of this mail. Twenty-Five cents is charg ed for each envelope, and orders are being taken until Aagus; l.
 The granite marker was givzn by the town of Claremore. OEla- ana, Will Rogers home toXn. The six-hundred pound stone which will mark the spo. rear Barrow and the Oklahoma State monument at Claremor3 ,are rock from the same quarry. The marker will be set in a concrete base faced with native Alaska rock, to symbolize the union of Alastan and Oklahomas tribute

to the grsat flyers.
 The members of the expedition report that the cruise has been a very pleasant one,W.th the rough est ". ather 50 mile gale off the coast of California. Apparently the storm tossed waters of Alas ka cooperated with the party by afrording smooth sailing for the trip. Many favorable impressions of Alaska were expressed by the party
 Tn Pandora will probably sail from Nome Thursday, and follow Captain Aarnout Castels motor ship Nanuk, up the coast to Bar row. The work of erecting and dedicating the monument will be completed August l5, if present plans can be carried out, and the party will lsave Barrow immedi- ately. They plan to pay another visit to Nome on the way out, probably reaching here about September lsi.

Two Kinds of Claims

It is very important to distin- guiSh between lode and a pla- cer deposit. If a deposit is lode, it should be staked as a lode claim; If it is placer, it should be staked as a placer claim. If both lode and a placer deposit are found in the same area, it should be located as both a placer and lOf1a claim.

Yukon Is Fifth Largest River In
 North America

Alaska may have the tallest mountain in North America but when it comes to rivers, the best the Yukon can do is take fifth place.
 The Mississippi river, with the Missouri is 5000 miles long and drains an area of 1,224,0O0 square miles.
 The Winnipeg and Nelson riv- CTS stretch to 3,840 miles and drain an area of 4,86O,50O square miles.
 The Mackenzie is 2,863 miles long and drains 67, 400 square mil es of land.
 The Lawrence river is 12,600 miles in length and drains 656, 900 quar- miles.
 The Yukon with the Lewis and Teslin is 2,300 miles long and drains an area of 330000 square miles.
 The Yukon, however, has one claim to fame. It is the largest river on either of the two Ameri- can continents which flows from east to west.
 Into same Ocean
 The Yukon, starting within 15 miles of the Pacific, empties into the same ocean; steamboats oper- ate on all but Is miles of it's en- tire length. Flowing in a great arc, the riv CT has its start near thetidal wat CTS of Dyea inlet, a tiny stream flowing from the crest of Dyea pass. Fifteen miles farther on is Lake Bennett from which point onward the waters are navigable.
 The river flows in a general northwesterly direction for 1000 milss through Yukon Territory in Canada and on into Alaska, just crossing the Arctic Circle. Then it bends back to the south and flows in southWeSterly dir ectiOn thru the center of Alaska, finally emptying into Boring Sea which is part of the Pacific Oc- can. ..~-
 Thru the Yukon Flats where the river makes it's southward bend, it varies in width from 10 to nearly 20 miles.
 The Upper Yukon flows thru a valley one to three miles wide. Below the flats is the Rampant region, and the last 800 miles to- ward the sea is known as the Lower Yukon.

Dame Nature was kind, so

the Inter-American Horse
Show we're concerned yester-
day afternoon! But everyone
realized when the huge dark
clouds came into view in the
Northwest that scamperlng
for their cars was going to be
the exciting climax of the
afternoon.
The series of events during
the afternoon were carried
off with clocklike precision,
and spectators had their mo-
ments of tense excitement as
the intrepid riders guided
their thoroughbreds over the
high Jumps,
