JUNEAUDOUBLAS PREP HOOP PLAY STARTS FRIDAY Annual Series for Channel Title Begins on Doug- las Nat Floor GAME TOMORROW At Douglas Natatorium—Jju- nean High School ve Douglas High Scheo! at 8 o'clock. Off on a series which may . take the two teams through five games, high scho ol basketball quintets from Juneau and Douglas will play for the first time this season to- morrow night at 8 o'clock in the Douglas Natatorium. This was the announcement made here this morning by Alex Dun- ham, principal of the Juneau High School, after negotiations for the annual series had been completed yesterday afternoon. Juneau and Douglas prepsters will play for the championship of Gastineau Channel. The winner will be eligible to meet Skagway, while the victor of that series will play either Wrangell, Petersburg or Ketchikan for the Southeast Alas- ka high school title. The Douglas-Juneau series, as arranged yesterday, may be for five games, but is certain to in- clude at least four contests. The first team to win three tilts will be declared the Gastineau Channel champion. But even if one team can take three straight victories, the fourth contest will be played.j However, the fifth engagement will be contested only if the series stands at two wins for each team. According to present arrange- ments, the series will be a home- and-home affair, with the site of each game changing. Tomorrow's clash is slated for the Douglas Natatorium, while next week's game —slated for Friday night, January 11—will be played on the Juneau High School floor. To accommodate a large crowd of Juneau boosters who will want to follow their team to Douglas to- morrow, a special run of the Doug- las-Juneau ferry will be made, it was announced. The special ferry will leave the Commercial ck float here at 7:30 o'clock, arriving in Douglas in time for the game. ‘There will be no preliminary con- test tomorrow night. Referees for the first game also were agreed upon yesterday. The arbiters will be E. E. Engstrom, graduate of Wrangell High School and now a Douglas resident, and Chuck White, graduate of Juneau High School, and also a Douglas resident. Another conference between of- ficials of both schools will be held before the second game here and Chuck Whyte, graduate of Juneau Yesterday's details were arranged in Douglas by Dunham, represeni~ ing Juneau High School, and C. H. Bowman, superintendent of Doug- las Schools, and Martin Pederson, i i | | | coach of the Douglas quintet. Max Baer may now consider him- celf completely enthroned as heavy- weight champion, for he has his “Black Menace” lurking in the cffing. Ever since the day when John L. Sullivan’s smart maaacer cleverly drew the ‘“‘color line,” every heavy- weight has had, his own worries with the Black Menace. Feter Jackson, a most formidable piece of fighting machinery, chal- lenged the great John L. continu- ally but received not even so much | as a nod of recognition because he was a negro. It remained for Jim Corbett ml dispose of Jackson as a heavy- weight contender. Jim Jeffries had a real “Menace” in the person of Jack Johnson, who had the boldness and the ability to relieve old Jim of his title. In turn, Jack Johnson, too, had | a menace—only they called him a! “White Hope.” It was the huge Jess Willard, who beat Johnson and took the title under a blazing Havana sun in 26 rounds.

Throughout his entire reign, the dark threatenirlg™ figure of Harry Wills was abroad, Jack still insists that he was willing and even anxious ta meet Wills, He claims he signed a contract for the bout'but the fight was ‘forestailed by political powers, who saw dan- ger in such a match. The huge, brown skinned George Godfrey held the heavyweight crown, but then, you could hardly expect Mr. Tunney to recognize that! Schmeling, nera—well, they scarcely held the title long enough menace of any description. All of which brings us to Max Baer and his own “Black Menace,” Joe Louis of Detroit. Meet Joe Louis Twenty years old and weighing ated from the amateur rdnks 'less than six months ago. He has com- piled an amazing professional rec- ord of 10 spectacular knockouts in a dozen bouts. The remaining two he won by decisions. His best performance to date was his eight-round victory over Lee Ramage, of California. Ramage, rated one of the cleverest boxers in the big division, was not match for the Detroit Negro and the bout was stopped in the eighth round after the Californian had been floored four times. Louis is a natural, smashing hit- ter. His punches rarely travel more than six inches but land with, a crushing snap. The manner in which he stopped Art Sykes, of Syracuse, and Char- ley Massera, of Pittsburgh, both of whom withstood King Levinsky's wild poundings, stamps the young negro as the most likely newcomer on the resent If he keeps on learning and im- proving under the veteran Jack Blackburne, one of the cleverest negro figljters of all time, Cham- pion Max Baer may ‘have a con- tender for his June match after all, heavyweight horizon at ———— Suspension of Assessments on Claims Proposed WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Sus- pension of the provisions in the mining laws, which require not less than $100 worth of labor to be performed or improve- ments aggregating that amount to be made each year on min- ing claims, is provided in a bill rrepared by Representative Roy E.

This same Perry led the British Davis Cup forces to victory over a United States team in a successful defense of the International trophy, zained in 1933 in the challenge round from the French, d then “Peerless Perry'' came over to Am- rica and brushed aside all opposi- tion to retain our singles cham- clonship, defeating Wilmer Allison, 1 home-bred, in a five-set final After his 193¢ American cam- paign, Perry sailed from the Pa- cific Coast for Australia, leaving on the dock a flock of profession- al promoters seeking his ‘signature to movie and pro tennis contracts.

They had been counted on as a certain point-win- ning combination in the inter-zone final against Australia. R. Norris (Dick) Williams, no- playing captain, feared the worst and sent what is now known as the famous “S. O. 8.” to Wilmer Allison to report to England at once. While Allison was crossing the Atlantic in the swiftest barge at his disposal, Lott and Stoefen suddenly returned to form and won the Wimbledon doubles event. When Allison arrived he was po- litely told he wasn't needed and he took the next boat back. Our forces scored a noteworthy ?iumph over the Aussies, winning after dropping the opening two singles matches and then fell before Perry and “Bunny” Austin, 4-1, in the challenge round with pp o I n’34 Internatwnal Competition| Y play; the best the an.-d singles crown back (o Wimbledcn title, and matches.

Helen Jacobs and Sarah Palfrey. Together they combined to give | America her fourth straight vie- (tory in the Wightman Cup team | series against England, and by a quirk of fate they met later in the final for the women'’s national championship. The match resulted in a rout for Miss Jacobs and her third successive year as cham- pion, equalling the trick turned only a few times in the past. With Miss Palfrey, she also won the national doubles crown. In the absence of Lol. and Stoe- fen, two Pacific Coast youngsters, Donald Budge and Gene Mako, | have been listed as bright prospects as their successors. Mako won the intercollegiate title, and with Budge he captured the National Clay Courts, Eastern Grass Courts and Southampton doubles events. The events of the year—Failure in the Davis Cup and loss for the second year of our national men’s title—will see a drastic revision in the 193¢ “First Ten” rankings among the men.
