"The success of the Republican candidates is particularly note worthy, since this campaign has been distinguished by appearance of Democratic campaigners of cati- net rank. Secretary of the Treasury Snyder led the parade, followed by undersecretaries and assistant sec- retaries in the Departments of Com- merce and Interior.
 Bureau chiefs by the dozen have plagued voters throughout the cam paign and made Federal employees in Alaska a backlog of Democratic votes.
 ."The tremendous effort made by the Truman administration for car rying Alaska again demonstrates the political bunglipg which has removed these absentees from voting in their home states. I congratulate every Republican candidate in Alas ka for this contribution to a Dewey Warren victory"
 Benson also claimed that the con- elusive vote for abolition of fish traps 'is in support of the Repub- lican position on that issue" The vote against fish traps was one-sided in every division. The closest report on the issue is from Nome, where four-precinct total is 438 to abolish and 140 to continue the traps.
 The returns from other divisions on the fish trap issue were: First 5,040 to 9l5; Third-6,705 to AS; Fourth-2,362 to PA.

Next Saturday., the 28th, the annual running of the famous $l00 GOO Santa Anita Handicap will take place out on the Coast. And some of the best horses in the country will go to the post includ- ing such favoritcs as On Trust, Flashed. Double Jay. Brabancon, Triplicate, Olhoverry, Miss Doreen, Autocrat, Paperboy, Faucon, Bridal Flower and others. Fndeavor II and Shannon II, foreign entries. will add an international flavor.
 Many turf fans arc picking Gu Trust or Flashed to cop the big event. But the horse to watch will be Miss Doreen, the little lilly that came from behind to win over some of the nations finest run ners in the S5O,OO0 Santa Margarita Handicap few weeks ago. Though the track was muGy, the fleet footed Miss DOreen showed enough speed and stamina to win by over four lengths So it might be good idea to watch her in the hundred-grander. Incidentally. Miss Doreen gave owner Charles s. Howard his first stakes winning at Santa Anita since 1946.
 Umpire Babe Pinelli of the Ma tional League declared that the arbiters should get more money. Top salary now is $l0,000. Per haps umpireS should be entitled to better wage. They work hard and have to put up with a lot of grief and arguing from the players to say nothing of the boo ing from the fans. They're on the spot every minute of the game. A little more money would serve as a balm to all those uncompli- mentary remarks they receive so often. Pineli also claimed that a couple of the umpS were very much dissatisfied with the S2.5O0 each received in the last Worlds Series. They shouldn't kick over that. Tn fact that's more than the Rcd SoN received in the 1946 Ser ies. They only got S2,052 each as their share.

 You probably haven't heard much about Jackie Paterson and Rinly N0aaghan. But there's been quite a Squabble going on between these two boys for same time Both are flyWcights, 112-pounders, and both claim the worlds title in that division.
 Jackie halls from Glasgow in Scotland, and has been a hot and cold proposition in England. Sometime ago he met Stan Rowan and had difficulty getting down to the l12 pound limit As result he lost the fight in two rounds

and started campaigning among the bantamWeightS, the 1l8-pound- CTS.
 So Promoter Jack SolomonS went out and staged worlds flyWcight championship match be- tween an Irish lad by the name of Rinty Monaghan and Dado Ma rino of Honolulu. Solomons must have figured that in Monaghan he had a "ringer" as he charged q $50 top price, pretty stiff take even for the big fellows.
 Before the fight. Jackie, the one who vacated the title. came back to claim long and loud that they had no business recognizing any one but himself as the worlds flyWeight champion. The British Boxing Board upheld Jackie'S beef so Solomon's special event Ndoii loi lilt "oilh ; tlllC dittt all--as far as the BB.B. was con cerned. However, the National Boxing Association of America and the Fire Boxing Board recog- nized the contest as a worlds tit le affair.
 Monaghan and Marine did bat tlC-and it turned out to be one of the dullest fights ever staged in England. The crowd booed throughout the fifteen rounds. Monaghan won but. figuring that maybe the boys who paid $50 did not get their moneys worth, he favored them with a couple of songs and an Irish jig. There's no doubt Monaghan will go plac- es
 As the picture now Stands.J aCk- jr claims he's champ and is rec o2niZed as such in the British Empire. Monaghan, the lad with a golden voice claims he's champ ana is recognized as such in this country and Ireland These two boys should get together and set tie their little dispute. In uphold ing PaterSon'S beef. the B.B.B. gave him until March 31st to de fend the title against Monaghan. So maybct this big squabble be- tween two little men will end soon. It's not too important.

 Joe Louis looked slow and off form in his exhibition bouts in Chicago an Baltimore. No doubt, he's out of condition but that doesn't mean he has lost all of his snap The Brown Bomber has one fight in mind and that's his June match with Walcott. Actually, he is training now for that bout and these exhibition affairs are part of his training. No one was more disappointed than Louis in the Walcott fight He wants to make up for that sad showing.

Farmers Union Proves
Tough For StOckmen

The Laurel Independents proved to
be all but nearly too much for the
rangy Stockmen ball team from
Billings last Wednesday. Few fans
were on hand, but the game was
a thriller to the final gun. The
Stockmen did not expect much op-
position from the small Laurel team,
but when the score board showed 40
to 40 they called time out to talk
it over. Laurel stayed with them
for a So to 55 count, but finally
gave way to the taller team for a
final 70 to SO ball game.
The Farmers Union is drawn
against the Crow Indians in the
first round of the Independent tour

have an almost insurmountable task
to cop honors. 1t is considered the

B Squad Makes
Scoring Record

With but one game on their
schedule to play Thursday against
the Billings junior high, the Ca
bosses finished their fine record
by establishing a new scoring record
when they burned the netting for
SO points against the hapless Rob-
erts team. The previous record was
made by the A squad against the
same opponent four years ago in
a SO to IL ball game. The B
team this year has lost to the
Billings Colts and in the second
game played in Billings the game
went into two overtime periods the
night after dropping a heart break
er to the Edgar A team by one
point in three overtime periods. On
the victory side of the ledger the
team has nine wins, with one to
play.

Laurel Drops Hardin
From List of
Undefeated

The Locomotives did what wal
believed to be almost the impossible
Friday by dropping Hardin from
the ranks of the undefeated in {
convincing 48 to SO ball game
Hardin, who is rated the No. !
team on Montana high school courts
this year, had won 16 straight
over class A and B schools from
Montana and Wyoming, to run uI
an almost unbelievable record ove1
a two-year span of 48 out of 4S
games.
The Laurel squad, that has been
improving with each game of late,
jumped to an early lead with two
field goals and a free throw. After
time out Hardin changed it's tactics
to a rushing defense that had Lau-
rel tied up. By the end of the
first quarter it looked like Hardin
was in again with a Is to 10 score.
However, the Locomotives frightened
up their own defenses, which proved
to be almost impenetrable to the
host team, and converted a fast
break into points that not only tied
the game at 10 all, but put the
Laurel team ahead 26 to 10 at the
half.
The third quarter, so disastrous
for Laurel two weeks earlier when
these teams played, proved to be
just as disastrous for Hardin, for
Laurel continued to increase it's lead
to a 40 to 26 count. Hardin once
again turned to its pressing game,
but managed to cut the margin by
only two points by the end of the
game.
Laurel played in a tight zone
that permitted Hardin to neither
get in close for lay-ups nor get set
for the usually deadly shots. Har-
din controlled the ball for the
greater part of the game, moving
in and cut and around the Laurel
defenses, but seldom was able to
get away to a clean shot. Laurel
broke out of it's d~efenses to score
quickly whenever it would recover
a rebound or occasionally intercept
a pass.
Bill Sorg was unstoppable, dump
ing II baskets through the hoop
in ID attempts, for % points. Jim
Phillips made eight out of 10 free
throws and two field goals, for IL.
Jim Kiedrowski controlled the de-
fensive blackboard throughout the
game and added seven points.

Red Lodge, Bridger
Here hi Week End

The fans will get their last look
at the Locomotives before tourna-
ment time Friday and Saturday,
with Red Lodge and Bridger the
opponents. With IL t%ri-county
games in the books, Laurel will
be pointing to its first undefeated
conference season. Red Lodge, who
is fresh from its victory over Col
umbus, has it's usual fighting club
on hand to upset the hopes of the
Locomotives. Bridger boasts a tall
squad and has given Laurel the
toughest game on the backboards
this year.
Not unlike their older brothers, the
junior high boys will also be shoot
ing for an ~undefeated record against
these same schools in the 7 o'clock
curtain raisers. Laurel had its
game early in the season
when it edged Red Lodge by one
point.
In II games to date, the Junior
high has scored 447 points to 172
for the opponents, or a "A to 16
average.
