WILLIAM 1. PAUL
 CLAIMS REMARKS
 WERE DISTORTED
Chicago Reporter Got Him All Wrong on Subject
 of Iekes, Claim

Claiming that statements made by him to Chicago Tribune re- porter were absolutely distorted" in an article which the reporter. George Tagge, wrote for his news paper, William L. Paul today wrote letter to Fred Marx, former Sec retary to Secretary of the Interior arold L. Ickes explaining what he really told Tagge.
 Marx had sent a clipping of the Tagge article to Paul. The article, said Paul whom it described as perhaps the most fluent among the natives had assailed "oppres- sive supervision by Interior Secre- tary Harold l.. Ickes' Indian Af- fairs bureau" The article had Paul assailing an Ickes "Gestapo" among the Indians of Alaska. To this, Paul said he hadn't ever used the word "Gestapo' and didn't know how to pronounce it.
 In his letter to Marx, Paul said T have been satisfied with the sim cerity of MT. Ickes and the Of- flee of Indian Affairs from the be- ginning. Without going into detail I can testify that the principles adopted by the Interior Depart ment with respect to the Indians of Alaska has been the most pro- gressive undertaken in the history of recent times.
 The evils that still attend Is are carry-over from former ad- ministrations, and while MT. Ickes has not done enough, we think, to correct these evils, it is too early to say that he will not, especially when you consider the fact Cir relation to the fisheries question: that man of such high standing as MT. Gabrielson is now in charge
 That Chicago inquirer abso- lutely distorted my interview fol I began that interview by saying I am not among those who SUD- port the demand that MT. Ickes resign, nor do I believe that his plans are bad for Alaska The in- cidents that apparently show dis agreement were cited merely to show that we differed in some things but that we were holding our own and were not being in- jured."

Chase Forced 10 Take
Humping by Tigers
As Punishment
Hurler Is Kept in Come
After Blowing 7-Run
Leod Coined EorIy
By a staff Correspondent of Tn. star


DETROIT, June 7.-Whatever
zest the Mats had now has evap-
grated, for even Detroit is beating
them. There is no shred of optimism
for them to cling to, for the mystic
spell they had held over the Tigers
now has been shattered.
Eleven times this season, includ-
ing seven exhibition games, the Mats
had thumped the Tigers, but yes
terday it all exploded in the flushed
face of Pitcher Ken Chase. The
hapless Washington southpaw blew
a 7-run lead as the Mats dropped
an 11-8 decision.
1t hasn't been happy season for
Ken. nor is it likely to be. He
spanked the Yankees April l8 and
that constitutes his lone win of the
year. He has lost seven games, I'm
ished only three of his 10 starts and
appears headed for a typical Chase
year.
Hope Blows Up.
There was reason to hope Ken
would enjoy his most successful sea-
son this year. but those hopes long
since have vanished. Last season, in
winning Is and losing II, Chase
was a smooth, steady pitcher during
July, August and September and it
was felt he finally had reached win
ming form.
1t seemed Ken might pick up this
season where he left off in 1910. but
he apparently forgot his winning
formula. Barring miraculous re-
coyery, Chase now is compiling his
fourth successive losing season with
the Mats.
Ken had only to pitch in medic
ere manner to win yesterday but he
couldn't do it, and when he failed
Manager Bucky Harris let him stay
in there for a few innings as some
sort of punishment.
The Mats had compiled a TO lead
off Floyd Giebell entering the third
inning. Jake Early had blasted a
3-run homer into the upper deck of
the right-field stands in a hectic g.
TuIl StCUIlu lllillIlS dllu "ilCi NSoi %
Case walked with the bases loaded
in the third inning the Mats had
another run.
Detroit was very prompt, though,
in putting itself back in the game.
What with Chase aiding with four
walks and five hits, the Tigers
locked the score at TT in the third.
Chase suffered through it all, Har-
ris disdaining even to order a re-
lief pitcher to warm up. 9
Again the Mats staked Chase to a
lead in the fourth when Doc Cra-
mer doubled, took third on Cecil
Travis single and scored after
Mickey Vernon flied deep to Right
Fielder Bruce Campbell. But in the
sixth the Tigers hoped on Chase
for three more runs and Schoolboy
Rowe checked the Mats with only
two hits in the final five innings.
Thus the Mats were dealt their
18th defeat in their last 19 games.
Steve Sundra, Washington's only
winning pitcher, was to attempt to
check the Mats 4-game losing
streak here today, with Dutch Leon
| ard slated to pitch tomorrow in the
last of three-game series.

Ted Williams PROVING
Batting Sensation
OF Big Leagues
Boosts Average to .436
And Climbs in Homers

By the Associated Press.

BY tDe Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June THE bat
ting sensation of the major league
season thus far may be singled out
easily. He is Ted williams, the long,
lean murderous hitter of the Bos-
to Red Sox.
In 40 games. slightly more than
one-fourth of the schedule, Williams
has batted .436, mark far better
than anybody else in the big time,
and has tied for third in the Amer
lean League in home runs with
1O and for fourth in runs batted
in with 81.
Furthermore Williams keeps edg-
ing upward while other aspiring
batting leaders slide downward. He
gained seven points in the past week
as Bill Dickey of the New York
Yankees, his closest league pursuer
slipped from 1916 to 1863, and young
Pete Reiser, the National League
leader, backtracked from 1878 to
.361.
The general makeup of the group
of 10 leading hitters in each league
remained approximately the same

Whir|awayRuns
Against Sorry
Belmont Field
Itobo, Robert Morris
And Yankee Chance
Only Opposition
BY SID FEEDER.


NEW YORK, June 7.-Whirlaway
had a date with a crown today at
Belmont Park. and it looked as If the
only thing that could keep him
from it was for some one to steal
the jewels.
A few, like those who would take a
price against death and taxes, still
try to tell you accidents can hap

Stakes at 4:45 pm. &c. S. T) could
beat him and keep him from the
triple crown.
Record Wouldn't Surprise.
But this was as likely as ball

reason for Robert Kleberg's Itabo,

ny Whitney's Yankee Chance to
show up. Whirlaway should add
this IL mile Jewel" to his Derby
and Preakness triumphs and there
by become the fifth horse in all rae
ing history to take the triple crown.
In fact. it wouldn't be at all sur
prising for him to bounce home with
a new record.
Sorteado, the Inflated flyer from
South America, set the Belmont
track mark of 2:28zs two years ago.
The stark mark of 2:283s was posted
by War Admiral, the last fellow to
sweep the triple crown.

pected to be on hand-were that
he'd come home winging.
If the way Whirlaway ran off and
hid from his Derby and Preakness
rivals isn't convincing enough, con-
slider his opposition today. Two of
the three named as rivals" "-Itabo
and Yankee Chance-never have
shown in such big-league company.
The third, Robert Morris, ran in the
second section" of the Derby.
Itabo has been out only once as a
2-year-old. and twice this year, and
never has been beaten. Yankee
Chance has won one race in his life.
AS for Robert Morris, his speciality

It's still a toss-up in the high
school baseball championship race
whether slugging will beat good
pitching and a tight defense. west
ern, the hittingest team in the series,
tore Eastern's pitching and defense
into shreds yesterday to balance the
playoff series at one-all, making up
for last Tuesdays game in which the
Ramblers played a tight game while
eilencing the Red Raiders bats.
AS the dust settled around home
plate Yesterday, Western walked on
with a 1875 victory. sending the
series into final game to be played
Monday on the neutral Anacost1a
diamond.
Chiefs Strategy Fruitless.
Coach Chief Guyon of the Ram
bler's elected to use the same strategy
no successfully worked on Tuesday
when he started an unknown hurler,
but the results were different. Art
Bray drew the assignment with his
only previous series appearance be-
ing a Shining relief stint against
Anacostia.
Bray failed to survive the third
inning, which saw II Raiders step to
the plate. When it was over, West
ern had six runs on three hits,
four errors and four passes, with
three men left on base. Those er-
rors helped plenty, but Bray was NIT
pretty freely as was Kenny beavers,
his successor. In all the Ramblers
turned in II errors, sad total for
team which usually is noted for
sweet fielding plays, and western
capitalized on majority.
Eastern whitfield away at the
Western lead with single runs in the
fourth, fifth and sixth, but the
seventh ended all hopes, Five more
Raiders crossed the plate on three
hits, four errors and a sacrifice.
HiIleary Scores Cheap Run.
The cheapness with which West
ern gained its markers was typified
In the eighth, when Jake Hilleary
singled and scored without stopping.
He took second when play was
made for Charley Hines at home.
The throw being bad, Jake was per-
mitted to continue to third and an
other poor throw brought him home.
Eastern banged - hits off two
Western pitchers, but it couldn't
make them count. Three hits in the
second inning brought no runs. In
80 final inning, when 1t WAS too late,
