Lions Battle Leaders
Tonight in Beginning
Drive 10 Quit Cellar

The Washington Lions open a
drive to get out of the Eastern
Hockey League cellar tonight at
Uline. but will have to beat the
f1rst-place Boston Olympics for a
good start.
Winner of only two matches in
their last 10 the Lions face az
Olympics team that uecently
swept seven consecutive games
and has won 10 of it's last ~.
However, Washington got back
into the victory column Sunday
when it knocked off the New York
Rovers. 5-3, in Madison Square
Garden and Coach Jack Riley
figures his well-rested team will
keep up its winning ways.
The injury list which has kept
the Lions from full strength for
some time almost has been wiped
out and they face less strenuous
schedule. Only Goalie Nick Da-
more is still off the ice and Clarke
Somerville, former net tender for
the disbanded Philadelphia Fall
cons, who filled in adequately
when the Lions beat the Rovers
Sunday, will take over again to-
night.
Six games at Uline are ON the
Lions slate in January and the
road trips are better spaced, which
leads Riley to hope his club can
start to improve its position. To-
nights game is the first at home
for the Lions since December 4.
In addition to Somerville, Art
Dorrington will be new face in
the Lions lineup for Washington
fans. The 21-year-old Negro CEN
ter has been playing we'll OIL the
road and seems to have recovered
from an ankle injury which side
lined him for a month earlier this
season before the Lions acquired
him from New Haven.

To Ask Sale of AEusku Coal To Jepan: Docks Would Be Al Sewarel
By Special Correspondent

Increases in Alaska Railroad freight rates have been can celled, it was announced today by Col. J. P. Johnson, Manager of The Alaska Railroad. The vol ume of traffic exceeded expec- tations between the months of July and September and earn ings indicate that present rates "can be continued for the time being without incurring a defi- cit, Johnson told a group of business men at his office in An chorage today.
 Johnson said the cancellation of the proposed 10 per cent in crease had been approved by the Secretary of the Interior.
 Johnson plans to go to Wash ington Monday to press for great CT tonnages for the Alaska Rail- road by Federal agencies that are big shippers iii Alaska.
 Alaska Coal for Japan
 He will also press for sale of Alaska coal to Japan, which country wants one and a half million tons of coal year.
 Japan would build unloading docks at Seward for handling coal brought there by the rail road. This would give the rail road valuable backhaul which. would make it possible to over haul the tariff" Johnson stated.
 He said the forced reduction in railroad personnel made every fall will ''go deeper this year to cut the payroll down." as an other step to keep expenditures within revenues.
