Shenandoah To Explore Regions
North Of American Continent
The prime purpose of the pro
posed flight of the naval air
ship Shenandoah to the north
polar regions is to explore the
the Arctic with a view to the
annexation of lands in that ar
ea to the United States, Secre
tary of the Navy Denby recent
ly told the House Naval Af
fairs committee.
“We cannot permit a million
square miles to fall into the
hands of another power.” the
Secretary said. “If we don’t
make the flight this summer
the entire Arctic region will be
mapped and photographed by
another nation within a year.
We are not trying to discover
the North Pole and do not
question the feat of Lieutenant
Peary, the American exp.lorer.
We Avant to explore and the
Shenandoah is fitted for the
task.”
Secretary Denby said the ex
pedition would cost approx
imately $183,000. The Shenan
doah is to follow a zig-zag'
course over Northern Alaska
to get data but no attempt
will be made to pass over the
pole to Spitzbergen. Command
er Robert A. Bartlett said:
I “We car do in forty hours
what others have been at
tempting tc do for four hun
dred years.”

FOR THE
SPORT FANS
BOXING
Johnny Dundee damaged the
lightweight hopes of Fai. Mor
an when he gained a decision
over the latter in a furious 15
round bout in New York a few
days ago. Dundee’s feather
weight and junior lightweight
titles were not at stake.
Firpo, in a Buenos Aires cab
le to Tex Rickard, has rejected
the latters’ offer of a $200,000
purse for a match with Harry
Wills. Firpo said he had a bet
ter proposition on hand and al
so advised Rickard not to count
on him for a match at Madison
Square Garden during the com
ing summer season.
In i fifteen round bout in New
York, Feb. 9, Pancho Villa, the
world’s flyweight champion,
obtained a decision over Geo.
Mack, the California boxer,
who has been making his way
to the front rank of the midget
weight class with considerable
rapidity of late. Mack weighed
more than Villa. Neither or
Villa’s titles were at stake in
the contest.
Eoxing critics are hailing Paul
Borlenbr^ch as a possible '
world’s middle-weight champ
ion in the making as a result of i
a six round .knockout of Frank
Carbone, of New York, a ,
crafty veteran of the boxing
game, whom he met recently at
Madison Square Garden. It was >
Berlenbach’s 23rd. knock-out I
in as many appearances. In
stopping Carbone, the youth
accomplished something that
was beyond the efforts of five
niddle-weight champions, Geo.
Chip, Al. McCoy, Johnny Wil
son, Mike O’Dowd, and Harry
Greb. Carbone had never be
fore suffered a knockout.
