Kake-Kasaan Timber
 Sale Is Now Fatinq |Fighi on Legality.

If the proposed sale of timber by Rake and Kasaan Indians goes through, they may not be able to ship their timber from the Terri tory This was revealed today by the uncovering of an Act of Con-
 gress, dated April 12, 1926, which prohibits exporting out of Alaska timber which has been taken from Public Lands or National Forest areas without the permission of the Secretary of the Department which administers the land.
 In Alaska, National Forest lands are administered by the Secertary of Agriculture and public lands and Indian reservations are administer ed by the Secretary of the Interior. On this basis, until title for the lands in question has been settled. either the Secretary of Agriculture or the Secretary of the Interior could make a request to the U. s. Customs Service to refuse clear ance to any ship bound for the States with timber from these areas.
 Another phase ol opposition to the sale was introduced by Rhein- hold Brust, Acting Superintendent of the Alaska Native Service, who is in charge during the absence of Superintendent Don c. Foster, now in Washington, D. c. for budget conferences. Brust stated that his office has never been ad- vised of the proposed sale
 He said it is customary to re- quest approval for such moves from the Secretary of the Interior through normal governmental channels beginning with ANS.
 Brust also explained that he did not believe that the sale would be legal because the Rake and Kasa- an villages are attempting to sell claims rather than rights. He said that they do have some rights but that these rights have never been established and that no limitations have yet been determined.

|HockeyLions, Clippers
|RenewFeud in Clash
For Second Place

Another flare-up in the scorching
Washingto altimore hockey rival
Try is due tonight at Uline Arena,
when the Lions and Clippers meet
at $3.50 with the Lions holding only
a. point advantage over the Clippers
| in the race for second place in the
Eastern League.
The two clubs have split nine
lprevious games this season, winning
four each with one a tie. The only
shutout registered by Washington
was against Baltimore and likewise
the only shutout against Washing
ton was by Baltimore. Something
the Lions can't match, though, is
that the worst defeat they've abb
sorbed this season, 90 affair, was
handed out by the Clippers.
Each club has won IA league
games, with the Lions holding a
one-point edge in the standing by
virtue of having had one more tie
than the Clippers. A win for Balti-
more tonight would reverse the
standings. Both teams are a bit away
from first place at the moment, for
the New York Rovers enjoy a six
point, or three-game, lead over
Washington.
Tommy Campbell, newest mem
Der of the Lion family, is due for
full quota of play tonight. He has
a week of play in various spots be-
hind him now and is ready to settle
down as a regular. He came to the
team at an opportune time, too, as
Jim Sims, defenseman, will be out
for some while with the leg injury
received last Tuesday night. Camp
bill will take his place at defense,
paired with big Guy Roach.

Stanley H. Thurlby of the
Transportation Corps League is

cause he didn't enter it. But he
will, and with a vengence.
Next Monday night at Colonial
Village the entire membership of

the tournament.
Thurlby is responsible. Mon
day night when the month-long
event opened he muffed what
proved to be a golden opportun-
ity. He reeled off a set of 428.
An average of 108 would have
entitled him to a 60-pin tourna-
ment handicap. His gross of ABB

placed him high in the payoff.

Challenge. Leading
Caps Tomorrow

Washington's Capitols, sitting
atop the standings in the Basket
Ball Association of America, take
on the Toronto Huskies tomorrow
night in Uline Arena.
The Huskies, who battered the
New York Knickerbockers, 1868,
Wednesday, have taken new lease
on life under the direction of Red
Rolfe, former Yankee infielder.
Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington Baseball Club, describes
Rolfe as a really great modern-day
third baseman who showed qualities
of leadership on the baseball field
that probably are responsible for
his success in pro basket ball"
His Huskies were beaten, 74-55,
by the Philadelphia Warriors last
night, however. as Joe Fulks
dropped in II field goals and 13
charity shots.
Fulks' record OF 81 points in
single game was broken laSC nlgnG
by Gino Martin of the Providence
Steamrollers, who scored 40, to lead
to a 91-68 win over the Cleveland
Rebels.
In the only other game, the st.
Louis Bombers increased their first
place Western Division lead over
the Chicago Stays to three and one
half games by clipping the Stays,
84-81.
The Bombers piled up 51-35
halftime lead with Bob Doll, who
tailed total of % points, leading
the way. The Stays stormed back
in the second half, but didn't have
enough to overhaul the early margin
run up by the bombers. Standings:
