 ACCOUNTED BY GENERAL MANAGER, RATE HEARING

SEATTLE, July 10 (P) = In the testimony given before the rate hearings of the Maritime Commission, L. w. Baker, man ager of the Alaska Steamship Co. described labor difficulties of Al aska Line vessels since the ma rine strike of 1884 and said the difficulties have grown more acute since 1888 when cannery employees came under unions domination.
 Baker said before 1888 when our cargo was loaded by Union Longshoremen and handled by Union crew men in Seatte we were fairly certain the cargo would be discharged without difficulty. Now, we never know whether we will be able to dis charge. cargo when it arrives at cannery ports in the Territory"
 Illustrating the difficulties of cannery the labor situation has brought about, Baker said the SS Dellwood had to return to Seattle with 1,20O tons of cargo it could not unload because union crew members refused to pass picket lines of cannery strik CTS.
 Baker added that the Dellwood is now in Woman's Bay, on Ko- diak Island, awaiting settlement of labor disputes at five Kodiak Island cannery ports.

WASHINGTON HILL
 GAMES TONIGHT
Gents Can Gain PlayOff Spot By Win Over St.
 Anns; Texans=RObins

The first round of the Washing ton Park community house league will come to close tonight with the Texans meeting the Robins in the opening game and the Gents taking on the St. Ann A A teams in the main attraction.
 A win for the Gents tonight will create deadlock for first round honors between the Poli team and the defending champs. The St. Ann team however are confident of knocking off Joe Walls charges to- night thus bringing to a close the first round with the Poli team on top. On the other hand the Gents with one leg on the Martin Scully trophy will be out to shoot the works and get another crack at the Poli team which was the only out fit to hand them a setback this year.
 Lefty Adams and his Texans will get a workout in the opener against the Robins in the first game at 7:30. The Brooklyn boys are point ing for the second round honors and have improved greatly since they made their debut in the hill league.
 The playoff if there is one will be staged Thursday night of this week as there will be no games on Friday night on account of the fire mems ball.

Broberg Better Than Ever" Says
 His Court Critics

Hanover, N. H., Jan. 29.-Any ath- lete who in his sophomore year sets a new Eastern Intercollegiate Bas- ketball League scoring record of 159 points in his sophomore season hardly comes under the heading of "likely to improve" courtmen.
 In the case of Gus (Swede) Bro berg, however, this reasoning has fallen to the wayside. For Broberg is greater basketball player today than he was year ago at this time, and practically every expert, op- ponent, coach and official who has seen Big Gus in action in 17940 is in accord with this statement.
 Broberg More Polished Player
 His Coach, Osborne Cowles, goes on record with the thought that Broberg is a far more polished all- around basketeer now than he was as beginner, and he never was very puny in any department Of the game from the outset.
 But the fact remains, neverthe- less, that even his scoring marks of 1889 are in danger, and one of them has already gone by the boards his high scoring mark of 26 points.
 Fortunately for Dartmouth bas- ketball and Broberg, he has been gifted with a personality that has helped him stand in pressure of being an outstanding star-the top man in the history of the E. I. L. For one thing Broberg would nev- CT show any conceit if he should score 100 points 8 game. This in itself is leading factor in the un- broken harmony in the Green court ranks. For another thing, Boberg is temperamentally cool and hasn't shown any signs whatever of crack ing under the strain of being ex- pected to score heavily every time he steps out on the floor.
 Columbia Players Praise Gus It is interesting to note that op- ponents of Dartmouth think highly of Broberg, as a recent interview conducted by Bob Harron, able Co., lumbia University publicity director would indicate.
 Wrote Harron: "Columbia's bas- ketball squad welcomes Gus (Swede) Broberg to the Columbia gymna- sium because, to a man, the Lions who have played against him say he's a nice guy
 "NOt Score Crazy
 "'And there's one thing they can't say about this fellow remarked lit tie Albie Meyers, himself brilliant scorer, even though he does go out to get 29 points, they can't say he's score crazy. He's great team play CT as well as a great shooter. He helps to set up plays and sometimes it seemed to me last year in our games that he gave the ball away to teammate when he might well have put 1t up hinself.'
 More than that put in another Lon, he's hive fellow to play against. Nice to talk to, never gets rattled, clean and slick in hls play

NEW CAMPOLO-TO

 DEBUT TONIGHT
Johnston to Show POten= tiaI Louis Challenger in

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Newark, N. J. Jan. 29-(UP)- Valentin Campolo, Argentine white hope" launches his United States heavyweight campaign tonight at Laurel Gardens where the great Luis Firpo was unveiled 18 years ago.
 Campolo, aiming at Joe Louis crown, will tee-off against Jim Rob-. inson of Philadelphia in a scheduled Hereunder. In Robinson's last start, he was stopped in three rounds by Lee Savold, the es Moines dynamiter, because of badly swollen left eye.
 A large representation of the fight mob from New York and other eastern cities is expected to be at the ringside to see if Campolo has any chance of being another Wild Bull of the Pampas," like Firpo, his coun- tryman.
 Valentin, a big, tough-looking black-haired chap of 27, was im- pressive while training at New York's Pioneer gymnasium, under the watchful eye of manager Jimmy Not So Bad
 He's huge fellow, packing about PA pounds on siX-foot four-lnch beam. He has smashing left hook to the body and fair right. He seems to take punch well, and dis plays yen for battel. In the gym nasium, he seems slow starter, who doesn't get warmed to his work until the third or fourth round. Joe Louis loves slow starters.
 Valentin's opponent tonight also is a big man. Robinson stands six feet three inches and he scaled 216 1-2 pounds when stopped by the 181-pound Savold.
 Campolo arrived in New York in late December with record of 16 knockouts in 9 professional bouts. Because of lack of opposition, heavy weights in Latin America do not fight as often as those in the United States.
 The Argentine invader decided to make his debut at Laurel Gardens instead of Madison Square Garden in New York because old Angel Firpo told him he was sure are Newark club would be lucky. It was lucky for Firpo 18 years ago when the "Wild Bulp stopped Sailor Maxted there and got $28,000 for the Latin American movie rights, al- though his purse for the bout was only $125.
 Valentin's older brother, Victoria, campaigned in the United States 10 years ago with mediocre success. Because of Victories dislike for training or other physical activity, Victoria won the worlds rocking chair" championship instead of the heavyweight title.

Rangers Monopolize Hockey Situation

If something ooesn't happen to cool off the New York Rangers soon, they bid fair to chase the other clubs right out of the National Hockey League.
 Winners of IS games out of their last 16, and their last five in row, the Rangers have a five-piont mar gin in the standings over the Stan- ley cup champion Boston Bruins, the only club that remains serious challenger.
 Last night, while the rangers were smacking their intra-1city rivals, the Americans, Az, the Bruins were lowing to {. Detroit Red Wings by the same score.
 Spotting the AmerkS goals by Chuck Conacher and Johnnie Gag non, the Rangers came back with tallies by Watson, Smith, Neil Col- vile and Hextall to win without an argument. Boston came back to overcome two-goal Detroit lead in the final period, but late tallies oy Motter and Kilrea brought the Wings home in front.
 The Chicago Black Hawks had a field day against the hapless cellar occupying Montreal Canadiens, SCOT ing six goals in the final period to close out an 8-1 triumphy. The Hawks tied the hig hscoring mark for the seasons made, ironically, by| the Canadienes in beating the' Hawks 8-2 last November. Rookie' Les Cunningham was the Chicago hero, scoring two goals and getting credit for three assists, for five points in the league scoring race.

Wilby, naturally, will be a strong choice to win, as it is unbeaten in eight or nine games, but the Tech club gave Jim Lees boys quite a tussle earlier this month and may do so again. On the other hand Wilby may win as it pleases, for the Ansonia game Saturday night which Wilby won 28-26 on Ray Dal- tons hoop did something to the seemingly over-conf1dent lads from Grove street.
 Wilby played and won the first game Of a double header" Satur- day night but not before an Ansonia team which led 11s to 12 at half time gave the Wildcats their tough est game of the season. Crosby was a loser to Hillhouse from start to finish.

M'COY TO SIGN
 CONTRACT FOR
 $5O,OOO PLUS?
Free Agent Has Choice of Several Offers From
 Major Clubs

Grand Rapids Mich, Jan. 29- (UP)-Benny Mccoy, onetime De- troit Tiger rookie, was still a free agent today, but only his indecision was keeping him from becoming baseball's highest priced player for 194O.
 Three clubs, the Philadelphia Ath- letics, the Brooklyn Dodgeds, and the Cincinnati Reds, led the bidding, with the As reportediy making the best offer of a $40 900 bonus for a contract and $10,000 annual salary for two years, but Mccoy said he probably would not sign contract before late today or Tuesday.
 Busy Man
 He said he had promised to tele- phone representatives of the Wash ington Senators, the Pittsburgh Pir-. ates, and the Boston Bees before making final decision, and he was to see Larry MacPhail of the Dodg- CTS at 10 a. m. Earlier he had talked with Earle Mack, son of the Athle- tics manager, and Bill McKechnie, Reds manager, who came here dur ing the weekend.
 McKechnie said he would return home tonight, after making an of- fer, but Mack intended to remain until Mccoy decides which club he will play with this season.
 we need Benny very badly and I'm sure he'd be great help to our team," Young Mack said.
 Mccoy said he would play second base or nothing" this season, but it was thought the highest offer would finally determine his choice of club. Washington and Philadelphia want him for that post but the National League Clubs probably would use him in his old outfield position. MacPhail, who reportedly also made $40,000 bid for McCoy's services, said recently that he would Ego higher" than any other club.
