By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-If the ma jor leagues lasso as many star rockies from the International loop this spring as they did year ago, they'll be more than satisfied.
 That fast A circuit contributed Johnny Wander Nicer. baseball's first double no-hit pitcher; Frank Mo- Cormick, the Cincinnati first-sacker who got more hits than any other National leaguer, and Joe Gordon, the New York Yankees second-base flash. That's just to mention few.
 A year ago Gordon was the most publicized recruit as the clubs moved to training camps. This spring New ark again offers perhaps the best known rookie in Charles Keller. This 22-year-old outfielder has led the loop in hitting for the last two years and thinks it is about time he was getting into the New York Yankee pasture.
 Warren RoSar of Newark, who'll give New York's Bill Dickey some catching assistance, hit .387 to Kel- ler's .365, but didn't play in so many games as Charley.

Possibility of local retail stores closing due to labor walkout were dispelled today by announcement that the Retail Grocery Clerks, AFL Union 392, have reached an agree ment with employers for the com ing year.
 According to Frank Chinalli, Sec retary of local 1892, the issue involved was adjusted at a meeting between the Retail Merchants Association and Union members.
 There will be no increase in wages to the employees. Wages will be $35
 per week, for six day week, and eight hour day. Employees will be given two weeks vacation with pay every year, same provisions as in the preceding contract
 The settlement came in the nature of a compromise. Workers were ask ing a wage increase to $37:50 per week or time and half for overtime. Employers were asking elimination of two weeks vacation to employees and hour day.

BUSINESS PICKS UP

BUSINESS PICKS UP
 By use of subsidies Japan has es- tablished ship lines connecting the islands with Tokyo and other Japa- nese ports and has established aerial navigation lines. although little air traffic is reported.
 Business doubled between 1933 and 1897, with Japan getting most of the $9.0OO000 annual exports and delivering most of the $4,000.000 imports,
 It is quite struggle, the report says, to keep the natives going to school and to keep them from get ting drunk, but movies are "exer- cising much good influence."
 The Japanese have taken steps to end the lovely timelessness of the tropics.
 "In order to cultivate among the natives the sense of time, and to encourage them to lead well or dered life," says the report, "bells have been installed at various places to announce the time thrice day, morning, noon, and evening""
 After three centuries of Span ish, German and Japanese influ- ence, the town natives are wear ing clothes. Country boys and gals think anything but breech clout is just crazy modern fad.

EXCITED CROWD

 BATTLE ROYAL
Big turnout Sees Wild
 Wrestling Stunt at 7 EIks Last Night

One-half ton of human flesh en- tered a wild melee of rough tough wrestling at the Elks Hall last night.
 Six wrestlers averaging approXl- mately ITO pounds apiece put on a nerve-racking 20-minute perform ance for the wrestling fraternity tand sorority) of Juneau last night and left some 300 people hanging on the back of their chairs when the final whistle blew, leaving Gene Euatace, of Juneau the "winnah.'
 Starting hostilities with a whole some disrcspect for each other, it was dog eat dog and the referee take what's left.
 Action got so fast and furious that the crowd feared nothing short of murder as the outcome. Finally limping from the general mix-up, Walt Gaston, first climbed through the ropes. Next out was Gordon Nu- ma who was on the receiving end of
 
 canvas for five minutes while the fight waged over and around him. Somebody eventually Jagged him out
 Spendlove took a powder next which left Davis Eustace, and Doc Webb in the ring Poor old Doc didn't have chance as Davis and Eustace doubled up on him. They managed to tie him up in two-man leg split and arm lock, pinning his shoulders for the count.
 First Match
 First match in the single events saw Spendlove and Webb growing from their respective corners. As originally scheduled Numa and Gas ton should have met in the opener but Gordon was taking time off try ing to regain the wind lost in the battle royal.
 First of this five-minute round one-fall match saw the veteran Montana flash work the Aux Bay pride over in the best accepted fash ion. Somewhere in the action Webb crawled through the ropes and got back to put his knee into Spend- loves stomach, Spendlove retaliated by stomping the Docs bare foot and kicking him through the ropes and winding it up with a hefty boot to the chin.
 Second round had barely started before Spendlove came off the ropes ala Gus Sonnenberg and again the Doc was on the outside looking in. He stayed in the safety of no mans land and for II of his allotted 20- second count.
 Starting with rush i'll the third round Billy flushed the Doc before he got off his corner chair after the opening bell Webb was able to keep out of danger except for one inter Jude when Spendlove hung his foot across the top rope and commenced to pull the big and little toes in op- posite directions. As the round closed Doc, thinking the fight was over, clipped Bill Byington, the referee, and headed for the shower room He was called back to finish the last two rounds of the match

been spirited away from her swain
because her father was opposed to
their marriage.

Eileen was being held against her
will, and on one of these occasions
she told Supreme Court Justice

ther very much and wanted to
marry him.

she needed two or three months to
decide" whether she wanted to wear
a wedding ring.

an agreement with operators of the
Roney-Plaza Hotel, at Miami Beach,

campaign to increase the tourist
business.

businesses" he said. II urge you to
use your influence against gam
bling or anything which promotes
lawlessness."
