BARNEY ROSS IN BUSINESS
 FOR HIMSELF
Former Ring Champion Is Holding Forth as Hotel
 Executive Now
By EARL HILLIGAN AP Feature Service

CHICAGO, March IA. - Barney Ross, who once held the lightweight and welterweight boxing champion ships of the world, is right back where he started 13 years ago and tickled to death about it.
 Barney, who lost his welter- weight title to Henry Armstrong almost two years ago, is back in his old home town now as a triple threat young business man. And it's in the Morrison Ho- tel, where he fought his first match as an amateur in 1927, that he now holds forth as a hotel ex- ecutive between refereeing en- gagernents and managing lis own jewelrv business.
 Boxing was grand to me" he smiled. Tt gave me everything I ever had and won me the finest friends a man could have. It was great fighting-but now that I'm out of the game I'm happier than I ever have been and hold no re- grets that younger fellows are carrying on"
 Barney, at 30 years of age, looks as fit as on those nights when he fought some of his fa- nous battles with Tony Can zoneri, Jimmy McLarnin and other
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-03-14

ring greats. Almost 12 years in the game, some nine as proies- sional, left few marks on his smooth, round face His nose bears the marks but there are no cuts. Impeccably dressed, he looks the part of the successful business man.
 Earned S400,O00
 q earned about $400000 in box ing" Ross said, "and I enjoyed every minute of the time I spent at it-training and all. Every thing I earned I owe to two of the finest friends and managers any man in sport could have They were Art Winch and San Plan. During all the years fought I never had contract with them. They gave me advice which was invaluable-and ever now, when something troubles me, I go to them for a friendly suggestion
 Barney also holds a deep affeo- tion for Arch Ward, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, which sponsors the Golden Gloves tour nament. It was in Golden Gloves that Ross got his start. He won the Golden Gloves featherWeight crown in 1929 and turned pro that year. In 1883 he took the light weight crown from Canzoneri then moved into the welter divi- sion and won that title from Me- Larnin
 Boxing is still the great game it always has been,' he said There are plenty of good boys and newcomers who will always come up. I wish them the luck had"
 Barney Likes Golf
 For recreation, Barney plays a lot of golf through the summer and fall and he shoots a game al- most as smooth as the footwork he used to display inside the ropes-keeping around 80 con- sistently. Right now, however, lle hasn't much time for any sport As manager of the Morrison's new bar and cocktail lounge he keeps going from noon until late at night.
 His first few days on his new job were devoted almost exclu- sively to shaking hands and open

Late this afternoon The Elm

 tion through the services of As
 sOciated Press of the Wagner
 and Havenner bills introduced
 in the Senate and House, re-
 sPectiveiy, tCd lay, proposing
 bread private colonization
 schemes for the development of
 Alaska. The latest dispatch fol-
 lows;
 WASHINGTON, March 14-The Senate Bill introduced by Senator Wagner at the request of Senator King of Utah, would require sub scription of 2,500,0o0 stock sub scriptions at $1 each, or aggregat- ing a like sum for any incorpor- ated unit colonizing the Territory. Representative Havenner of Cal ifornia introduced the same legis- lation in the House this morning. The bills provide that with re- spect to at least'-'fifty percent of the settlers i'll any project. pref erence should be accorded citizens of the United States and that na- tionalities among non-citizen set tiers will be represented in pro portion to existing quotas under the immigration act of 1924.
 Havenner's Opinion
 Representative Havenner said he is confident that if the proposal is enacted, there will be no dearth of patriotic American citizens will ing to put into the building of AL aska, sums of money comparable to those which now go abroad for relief of victims Of oppression.
 "The chief obstacle to the de- velopment of the Territory's popu- lation has been the lack of year around employment Havenner continued, which means Alaskans have to live on two or three months income annually
 Reindeer
 This bill offers a practical rem edy, encouraging development of industries such as make it possible for 13,0OO,0O0 Scandinavians to live comfortably in a smaller area with poorer natural resources"
 Economic activities specifically listed as open to exploitation are, agriculture, livestock operations, pro- cessing of forest products, including wood pulp, paper, mining and smelt- ing and processing of minerals, fish ing, fish processing other than sal mon, farming, processing of furs, reindeer hides and rendering services needed by the settlers.
 Jndustrics Limited
 Havenner said new industries. however. are to be limited to tIioae of a non,competitive nature, assert ing that salmon fishing should be excluded from activities of such cor 1 porations because it is felt that industry has already reached its fullest development consistent with conservation policies.
 i The legislation proposes to en- courage the transplanting of indus tries from northern European coun- tries to Alaska and also to encour- age fishing industries in which 90 percent or more of the supply comes from foreign countries.
 Tanning of furs and reindeer hides [ at Anchorage is suggested. 1

BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

Having committed himself to the
expenditure of $4,000 for baseball's
newest and most highly advanced
f1oodlighting system, President Clark
Griffith of the Washington Ball
Club today was a man of mystery to
his major league colleagues.
Will Griffith, at times a reaction
ary and at times a radical, attempt
to drive a new bargain at next
months annual midwinter meeting
Of the major leagues? Or, will he be
content to play only seven home
games at night per season?
When he was managing the Gin
cinnati Reds prior to coming to
Washington in 1912, Griffith was one
of the first to be introduced to night
baseball. Many years later, after he
had become dominant figure in
major league ball and president of
the Washington Senators, he pub
licly frowned on nocturnal baseball
as impractical
When Larry MacPhail was gen.
eral manager of the Cincinnati Reds
and introduced f1oodlights to the
major leagues, Griffith snorted in
disgust and called it circus base
BALI and unnatural" There is
only one time to play ball" he said,
'and that is in the daytime"
Gradually. the other diamond
magnates turned to night ball. Grif-
fifth, weakening somewhat, declared
that if the majors would devote the
weekdays in the months of June,
July and August to night ball, he
would install lights in Washington.
When this move met with no sub
stantial approval, the Old Fox nego-
tiated on seven-games-per-season
basis last Winter.
1t was at Orlando last Spring that
he received final estimates from
the various electric companies.
Secretary Edward B. Eynon, jr.,
made special trip to Florida last
March to confer with Griffith on the
appraisals.
"One hundred and sixty thousand
dollars" fumed Griffith, was the
lowest bid That's preposterou5.

cast by news that Mel Knupp, triple
threat halfback, probably would
not play because of rib injury
George washington heard OF
Knupp's condition earlier in the
week, but made extensive prepara-
tions to stop him-just in case. The
Bisons usually turn up with a well
coached, aggressive outfit and al
ways are dangerous.
Maryland, winner of only one
game this season, pinned its hopes
of holding Georgetown to a respec-
table score on the combination OF
Joe Murphy's speed, Mearle Du
Wallis pitching prowess and Bob
Smiths defensive play. The trio's
work has stood out like a scarlet
thread on black velvet all season

would be a death blow to Mary
