Watermelons mosaics were less

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 18- Joe Louis last night successfully de- tended the heavyweight champion ship for the fourteenth time by knocking out Gus Dorazio in ono minute and 30 seconds after the second round opened before a sell out crowd of 15.000 fight fans.
 A short smashing right hand shot by Louis flew out like flash and lar ded on Dorazio's chin and the latter dropped on his face near his own corner. It was the only knock down but it was enough.
 For the one round, the first, Dor azo, fighting out of crouch, rought back against the bomber.
 Louis entered the ring weighing 203la pounds and Dorazio weighed 193h pounds.
 The bout was the first title match in Philadelphia in many years.

HOW THEY STAND

The Henning hoop squad poured another game down the sink last night in Douglas as they lost 34 to fl to the Eagles and lowered their League standing to second from the bottom in game which they had won until the third canto when they relaxed their hot, fast play and apparently tried to ride on their laurels.
 | The second game of the nights 1doubleheader exemplified taking a lamb to slaughter as the crippled DeMolay squad valiantly attempted to hold off the fighting Bremen and ended holding the bag and the lowest score of this years play, l2, to the smoke-eaters' 45.
 Black SOx Lewis
 Buddy Claude Erskine started the opener with a nice one-h hand into the Hcnning hoop but found from then on that the scoring would not be so easy. By the time the canto ended Lewis of the Black Socks had tied the score six-all and another Henning shot had pulled the clothing men ahead two | points,
 The Juneau team fought good game for the first two frames, holding the Douglas Eagles in close check, forcing them to throw the ball away on long shots and did not allow them to get in close to the basket. They were playing an easy, rolling pace that broke the Eagles fanatical stride and held them down.
 Change Ends
 Then came the half with the score 21 to l5 for the Hcnning five and the teams changed baskets. On the switch the Juneau squad was forced to work around the east end basket, the side which has a loose floor and that obviously put the clothing five at. deided dis advantage.
 Buttthat was not the reason for the loss of the Juneau squad after building up and holding the lead. It was only too apparent that the boys started to slack off after the lialf-t time and has always happened when the Hcnning five takes q drubbing, the game was lost in tho third frame.
 The Eagles kept driving ahead and their opponents seemed to be- come frantic, adopted pace much too fast for their slower efficient ball and lost the battle 34 to A.
 No Subs for DeMolay
 Five DeMolay players started on the floor in the second game of the nights play and with one ex- ccption, when Snyder, efficient De- Molay manager, came in the game during the last part of the fourth quarter, the game was without sub- stitutes for the many-times- defeat ed lodge team.
 It was right from the beginning that the Bremen took the lead, and not being forced to fight for their points, played comparative ly sloppy game. The first canto ended 10 to for the Bremen and the half ended l6 to 4, afrter sol i'd quarter of play in which the -DeMolay scored not once.
 With Sturrock and Specs Paul missing for the first time in many game, the DeMolay quint deter mindly stuck it out, with the Fire men easily riding along to score when they wished
 The game could easily be com pared with that of a varsity five with multitude of subs on the bench, with a second string high school aggregation of five men only. The pace starts to tell in the fourth frame.
 And it did. It was then that the T'iremen went to town to end the slaughter 45 to 12.

 Ports During Tour

Returning victoriously from six day basketball tour of Skagway and Haines,. the Juneau High School Crimson Bears are back at school and Juneau today with the Northern Division Championship in the bag.
 Hallie Rice, diminutive hoop star and correspondnt for the Haines and Skagway games, told of the hospital ity extended to the Juneau team in both Lynn Canal ports. saying that they were made at home as soon as they landed and were literally hand ed the keys to the cities.
 The Haines team was much better conditioned than the J-High five, having played 12-minute quarters in comparison with 8-minute cantos played here. For the first two games in the Haines series, Rice said. 12- minute frames were played, but dur ing the last and deciding game for the championship, the Haines five allowed 3-minute quarters.
 Both the Haines and the Skagway quints are well coached, playing zone defense, and have good material now and also for next years tourna- ment.
 The SkagWay five has no men graduating this year. and the indi- cations for next years Skagway ag- gregation are threatening.

PRESIDENT HALTS
RAILROAD STRIKE

Washington, D. C.-The threatened
strike of about 1900 employees OF the
Rutland Railroad Company, operating
in New York State and Vermont, in
protest against wage reductions rang
ing from 10 to 80 per cent decreed
by the company, was delayed for at
least sixty days by President Roose-
velt, who ordered the establishment
of a three-man board to investigate
the controversy and report within
thirty days, with an additional thirty
days within which period the parties
to the controversy will act on the
boards recommendations.
The President, acting under author
ity of Section 10 of the Railway Labor
Act, declared that the strike would
have interrupted interstate commerce
in New York and Vermont "to de-
gree such as to deprive that section
of the country of essential transpor-
tation service"
The proposed wage cuts, involving
members of sixteen railroad unions,
were ordered two years ago, but de-
spite long battle in which court and
mediation machinery was employed
the differences between the railroad
unions and the Rutland Railroad Com
pany were not settled.

the National Conference of Mayors
and already under consideration in
some state legislatures. Actually, the
suggested laws may be used against
union members engaging in legitimate
activities, Green declared.
Direct Tax on Radio
To Be Asked
In fact, he said, pickets, strikers or
workers making normal mistakes
might be severely punished under
such legislation, he added.
The Executive Council voted to use
it's influence against the suggested
measures in each state.
1t was announced here that A. F.
of L. unions in the printing industry
will ask Congress to place direct tax
alton on radio revenues and restrict
the issuance of station licenses.
John B. Haggerty, president of the
international Allied Printing Trades
Council, said a five-year study showed
such legislation was necessary to
counteract the inroads of radio into
revenues of newspapers and other
printing industries.
Unions to Seek
Publishers Aid
The radio cost his unions 5000 jobs,
Haggerty added. He said the Printing
Trades Council will ask, first, that
Congress permit the Federal Commu-
nications Commission to issue licenses
for radio stations only to persons liv-
ing in the community where the sta
ton will operate and, second, that sta
tions be permitted to devote only 25
per cent of their time on the air to
commercial programs.
These proposals, together with de-
mands for direct taxation of the radio
industry, will be backed by the print
ing trades, which employ 100000
workers, and Haggerty will ask $4,000
publishers and printing executives to
join the campaign.
