PAGE TWO ROBINSON IS WINNER MIMS GO MIAMI, Fia., April 6 —®— The winner was sad and the loser was happy after Middleweight Cham- pion Sugar Ray Robinson’s 10-round decision over Holly Mims of Wash- ington, D. C., last night. In his dressing room after the fight, Robinson was apologetic for “my ‘bad showing.” The bout was postponed from March 8 because of Robinson’s illness and he said “I guess that virus had me worse than I thought.” The aggressive Mims was a con- trast in cheerfulness. He came out of the bout in excellent condition and declared Robinson “never hurt me bad any time.” Mims never took a backward step from Robinson. SEALS AGAIN BASKETBALL RACKETEERS slimy hands of racketeers have giver a black eye” to professional basket- ball, declared Judge Joseph Sher- bow. Then he sentenced two con- fessed sports gamblers to nin¢ months in prison and fined. them $3,000. “A good clean sport is going to get a rotten black eye” the judge said. Sherbow made the statements in sentencing Harold Stallings, 46, snd Edward Charles Bunn, 47, in the Criminal Court. and what happened on the Elks alleys last night in the regular Thursday Night' league bowling-— nothing! The team standings remain un- LOSE; SCORE IS SIX T0 2 By Associated Press Ever hear the one about the twc Irishmen? First, there was the happy Hiber- nian—Bill Sweeney, whose Portland Beavers bounced into the Coast league top spot last night by whack- ing San Francisco, 6-2. And last — and he was never further behind — was the unhappy Irishman, Lefty O'Doul, who man- aged San Francisco into its 10th straight defeat. That left Lefty as morose as Paddy’s pig and the Seals batting a cool .000 for the course. Nothing quite this direful has ever happened to either O'Doul or the Seals before. But it could be worse. Sacramento once lost 17 straight in 1925. And Seattle last year won only. six of its first 31 games, yet rallied to finish a sturdy sixth. Three Seal bobbles aided the downfall and besides the O'Doulers got only six hits off Red Adams, one a homer by Eddie Lake, just down from Detroit. San Diego slipped from the lead, a half-game back of Portland, by bowing to Los Angeles, 12 to 4. The surprising Angels bashed three pitchers fop 15 safeties, two of them circuit drives by Skinny Les Layton. Oakland dropped to the fourth rung in bowing to Sacramento, 10-3; Hollywood subdued Seattle, 4-1, on Artie Schallock’s 11-strikeout per- formance. Attendance continued sour, rang- ing from 2,698 at 8an Diego to 1213 at San Francisco. COAST LEAGUE STANDINGS W. L. Pet. 800 8 Portland . San Diego . Los Angeles Oakland .

No action was taken on this because the Mar time Commission is holding in es- crow the increase until hearings can be helkd and decision given. The board saw colored slides of the work done by members of the department. Meetings were continuing today and it is expected that they will run into tomorrow to complete all business. The $50,000 appropriated by the recent legislature for the Alaska Department of Fisheries for pred- |ator control, will be spent in the |areas where the hair seals do the | | most damage to the salmon, thcf EAlnska Board of Fisheries decided |at its meeting here yesterday. “| In order to carry on an effective | program, work will be concentrated | !in strategic areas and one project | will be accomplished before going | on to the next one. The Cordova | | Fisherman's Union has offered to| | match by 20 per cent the amount | of money to be spent in the Copper and Bering River areas. It was decided that before any program is inaugurated in an area, | ! the local interested groups will be | | consulted and the department will | take advantage of local knowledge and personnel available. The over-all budget for the com- ing biennium was considered in re- lation to contemplated projects and activities. It was decided that the biolegy division continue research work on troll salmon and extend it | | to include gill net fish in the Taku River. Work With FWS The board agreed to continue cooperation with the Fish and Wildlife Service on inspection and enforéement. During the fishing | season four Territorial agents will ;be stationed in the Kodiak area, | two in Cook' Inlet, two or three for | Prince William Sound, two in the | Sitka vicinity, three for the Jun- | eau-Yakutat region, two with head- | quarters at Craig, two at Wrangell |and two at Ketchikan.
