Joseph FIdkne Cooperates with Administrative
 Office Filling Jobs

Joseph F'lakne, who went south several weeks ago for the United States employment Service, as an Alaskan specialist to work ex- clusively on labor problems for the Territory and fill clearance orders for Alaskan employers is working out of the Central Clearance office for the U. s. Employment Service in Smith Tower, Seattle.
 All requests for employees by AL askan employers that are sent to MT. F1akne are submitted through the Administrative office of the U. S. Employment Service in Ju- neau, of which R. E. Barnes, is Acting Director.
 File Order Locally
 The method used in placing re- quests by employers Is to file with the local U. S. Employment Service office an order giving all details of the position to be filled. If the local office cannot fill the request. it is placed with the Administrative office in Juneau.
 Then, if the position cannot be filled from available labor in AL aska, and if the employer requests it, the order is sent by the Ad- ministrative office to the Central Clearance office in Seattle. Fit Into Conditions With the information sent from Juneau. and MT. Flakne's wide knowledge of problems and condi- tions in the Territory. he endeavors to fill the positions with men who not only are qualified to do the particular work, but will also fit in local conditions.
 With the present shortage of qualified workers, the workers are often quite chOosey. and require de- tailed information about jobs be- fore considering them, MT. Barnes said. For that reason, employers should furnish all possible infor- nation in their requests for labor. Employers should also submit their priority number with the request, as positions are filled according to priority, much as materials are all lotted to manufacturers according to priority, he stated.
 Under present labor market con- ditions and the present transporta- tion difficulties, the filling of re- quests for employees requires much time and knowledge of the proceed ure to be followed. It is because of these difficulties that MT. F1akne's familiarity with local conditions and transportation problems is such valuable aid to the Alaska labor situation, MT. Barnes said.
 Townspeople throughout Alaska should make all possible use of local labor supplies, including old men, women. boys and girls who can often handle work it was formerly believed only husky men could handle, MT. Barnes said.
 Information received by MT. Barnes states that in Seattle. and other cities, people in these classes, not formerly in the labor market, are being used extensively for many types of work.
 Tt must be remembered we are at war and that every position that can be filled by someone not ordin- ariiy in the labor market. is step in 100 per cent utilization of the working power of the United States. which may have to be placed Tn use before the war can be won," MT. Barnes said.

Hal
Chase
Dying

OAKLAND, Cal, July 80 tUP) -
Hal Chase ,56, one of the greatest
first basemen in baseball history
fought for his life today in High
land hospital where he lay criti-
cally ill
Attendants reported early today
that he was unconscious.
He was picked up by police yes
terday in response to a womans
call that a ragged and tattered
man" was on her lawn. He bore
little resemblance to the baseball
star who was hailed as the perfect
stylist in major league infields dur
ing the era that produced Ty Cobb,
Iris Speaker and Honus Wagner.
A police examination disclosed
that Chase was seriously i'll. The
nature of his illness was not de-
termined.
Police investigators said he re-

that Brooklyn was wrong when
they shipped me to the minors,
Mungo said. ''Now if you don't mind,
I'll cut this short and so shag me
some flies"
Mungos expressed attitude may
provide Manager Mel OFT with a
big payoff for his daring gamble in
bringing the big fellow back from
the minors to help the Giants drive
for third place.
Van got off to an inauspicious
start yesterday when the Giants
divided a doubleheader with the
Cubs His fireball no longer smoked
and his curve had lost its jughandle
accuracy but Mungo, who won 10
games with Minneapolis this year,
had only two bad innings in losing
Az, to Hiram Bithorn.
DODGERS WIN
The Dodgers stretched their lead
to eight games, beating the Cards,
4-3, in a game cut to 6l2 innings
by dim-out regulations. The Dodg
ers were at bat when the game was
called six minutes before time to
allow the 24744 spectators to evac-
uate Ebbets Field.
Pittsburgh split with Boston. Rip
Sewell blanked the Braves, 80, with
a iVe-hitter for his 18th win and
second shut-out in the opener. jim
Tobin held the Pirates to eight hits
and the Braves won the nightcap,
6-5.
The Chicago White SoX swept
a doubleheader with the New York
Yankees in the American league
feature.
YANKEES LOSE
Sam Vests double tied the score
in the ninth and his 11th-inning
single drove home the winning run,
giving the White Sox the first game
of the twilight bill 6-5. Joe Haynes
took the victory although Bill Diet
rich held the YankS to two hits from
the fourth until the 10th. Joe Di-
Maggie hit his 18th homer.
The White Sox nipped the Yank-
ees, 7-5, in the nightcap under the
lights. Both clubs got 10 hits, the
sox scoring the deciding runs in the
fifth.
Roy Weatherly's single in the 18th
off Yank Terry with the bases fill
ed gave Cleveland a 7-6 decision
over the Red SoX. The hit ended
a long contest featured by 2l walks
by eight pitchers, the Sox drawing
II with 10 hits.
Washington came from behind
with four in the ninth and won a
Slambang battle from the Browns,
lilo. The Senators laced six pitch
ers for 20 hits while four hurlers
gave the browns 13 blows.
An eight-run blast in the sew
cnth brought the Tigers a 1877 deci-
sion over the Athletics.

which is not important. What is
important is that Lou Novikoff has
come to life.
The husky outIlelder, who was
crowned batting king in every minor
league in which he played yet who
was a complete flop when it came
to touching big league pitching, has
at last responded to some formerly
smothered incentive. In the last
month or so the Mad Russian has
been clipping the ball at around
a .370 pace and has now drawn his
average up over the 300 mark.
Some thought it was change of
stance or increased relaxation at
the plate that has enabled Novikoff
TO connect more often. However.
Mr. Philip x. Wrigley. owner of the
Cubs, had a lot to do with it. Wrigley
noted that Novikoff was taking
too many third strikes which the
pitchers whizzed by the unrespond-
ing batsman. So he offered Novikoff
$40 for every time that the out
fielder would go down swinging.
This made him swing at every pitch
that even looked like it was going
to be third strike and it has paid
off.
After more than a month Wrigley
had been out only $50. for only
three times did the Russian from
Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, miss
that third one. He couldn't miss
then if he tried.

ALL.STARS HIT

Revenge was sweet for the all
stars Wednesday night as they
spanked Mexicali, 100.
The tune was beautiful as the
Mexicah Softballers were smothered
under a barrage of nine hits by the
B leaguers in a game transferred
from its scheduled field in Mexicali
to the Imperial high school dia-
mond The field south of the border
was unavailable.
To add SAVIOR TO the victory Carl
Jackson, all-Star hurler, pitched one
of the best games of the season,
giving up but two safe hits.
1t was almost a duplication of
the game played several weeks ago
in Mexicali when the all-Stars were
on the short end of a 1910 score.
They were able to gather only two
bingles in that contest.
Jackson started out on the right
foot when he famed the first bat
ter. After that he sent five othters
away from the plate called out on
strikes or down swinging.
1t was a revised lineup except for
two players INA; raced Mexicali
Wednesday. Jerry Bennett, newly
appointed manager of the all-stars
served as behind the plate man for
Jackson. Charles O5trander, who
played left field, was the only other
man except Jackson that had played
on the star team before.

BY JACK CUDDY

NV YORK, july 81 tUP) - Inc
boxing world is waiting for the
percentages to catch up with Ray
Sugar Robinson, the sensational
young welterweight who never has
been beat:n as an amateur or
professional
The experts can't digest young
Robinson. He's punching puzzle
who defies explanation. Because of
his build and his style, he should
have been beaten plenty. But he
never was.
This tall Negro kid from Harlem,
who'd rather dance than fight, has
hammered out the longest consecu-
tive winning streak in pugilistic
history. He has registered 121
straight victories as amateur and
professional as a Simon Pure
and 80 as a pro.
Even Joe Louis, who enjoyed per-
haps the most swath-cutting rise
| in heavyweight history, was knock
ed out by Max Schmeling in his
28th professional fight, after hav-
ing various difficulties as an anna
teur And Jack Dempsey not only
was knocked out by Jim Flynn
early in his career, but he also
lost a four-round decision to Fat
Willie Meehan a short time later.
And we saw Dempsey almost get
his belly caved in back in 1915 in
1O-round bout with Johnny Sud
enberg at Tonopah, New. He barely
won the decision and was sick at
the final bell.
NOT THE TYPE
If young Robinson were a COM
pact slugger who came in barricad-
ed by forehead and elbows, with a
lethal hook in either hand, Lam
mers' Lane might understand his
consecutive streak. But 21year-old
Sugar is not that type. He's long,
tall kid, who packs only about l43
pounds on a SiX-foot chassis. (Of-
ficially it's feet 11A inches. And
he's a straight up-and-doWn per-
former. Moreover, he's lad who
combines fancT-dan boxing with
one-punch knock out Slugging. He
doesn't shuttle in like Louis, try
ing to hand-feint or body-feint an
opponent into a move, so that he
might counter with knockout
punch to the exposed body or head.
No sir, Robinson is a dancing dyn-
amiter who always is the man in
motion. inviting tn ecounter punch
He gallops about the ring like a
love-smitten antelope. He neither
bobs nor weaves. And at close
quarters, he merely holds his head
high-as if in disdain-and makes
virtually no hostile moves toward
his clinching opponent.
ALWAYS EXPOSED
Meanwhile, Robinson is in con-
Stant motion-leaving that lengthy
coastline from supper ribs to belt
exposed to anT submarine attack.
And boxing results down through
the years, cry aloud that a man
with a long waistline can't take it
down stairs.
Robinson's private life is far
different from that of Louis, if we
can believe reports that trickle
down rom Harlem. They say his
night club pace is terrific, and that
he can't last
But-depsite the consecutive per-
centages, his style, his build and
his love of night clubs, Robinson
will be favored to lick Sammy
Angott tomorrow night at Madison
Square Garden, in their return 10
