ROBINSON
IS WINNER
MIMS GO
MIAMI, Fla., April 6 —1*1— 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
LOSE; SCORE
IS SIX TO 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 fey 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 San Diego to 1,213
at San Francisco.

Swatting
Them Out
.
By Associated Press
Folks up Boston way, especially
the regular Fenway Park clan, are
breathing much easier these days—
"The Thumper” Is thumping again.
Which means, of course, Ted Wil
liams hasn’t lost his delicate bat
ting eye.
Williams, flashing his raw power,
poled a tremendous 400-foot home
run yesterday as the Red Box beat
Savannah, 15 to 0. The blow came
with two mates on and sent some
2,500 Sally League fans home with
the gratification qf having seen the
trigger-tempered outfielder bust
one.
The $125,000 slugger also hit a
single. He now has 29 hits in 79 at
bats, including three home runs and
21 RBIs.
In all, the Red Sox clubbed five
home runs. Dom Di Maggio hit two,
and Lou Boudreau and Mickey
Guerra one apiece.
"Hottest” game of the day took
place at New Orleans where the
Chicago Cubs-Pittsburgh game was
halted after six innings because of
fire! The blaze, which burned away
part of the stadium roof, overshad
owed Frank Hiller's three-hit pitch
ing effort for the Cubs, who won,
2-1. That’s a new one. Game called:
Fire!
The Cleveland Indians rallied to
nip the New York Giants, 6-5, be
hind the seven-hit hurling of Early
Wynn.
The St. Louis Browns, who, as
usual, have been finding victories
few and far between, turned to a
group of doctors for some help. The
Brownies whipped the Brooke Army
Medical Center, MMi; but it took a
nine-run rally in the ninth inning
to turn the trick.
The Boston Braves’ “air team"
scored a 4-3 victory over Oklahoma
City and the New York Yankees
stumbled past San Antonio, 13-10.

FISH BOARD
CONSIDERS
PREDATORS
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
mast damage to the salmon, the
Alaska Board of Fisheries decided
i 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 Coppei
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
biology 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
enforcement. During the fishing
season four Territorial agents will
be stationed in the Kodiak area,
two in Cook Inlet, two or three lor
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. All will be
placed on red salmon streams with
the primary aim to protect that
specie.
new Division
The board authorized the crea
tion of a new division for water
shed management to deal with the
fresh water phases of the salmon
Everything will be done to improve
conditions during the fresh watei
I existence cf the salmon to get the
| maximum production.
This will also include the stock
| ing of barren lakes and stream;
that do not now have salmon ir
them. The first survey will be mad:
in the Kodiak district to list *al
i the possibilities there. A good dea
j of work is anticipated in salmor
! egg planting, also.
Sports Fish
The first work on the sports fish
ing program will be carried on ir
! the Fairbanks area where there
| seems to be the greatest need anc
demand for that. The University oi
1 Alaska has offered office space
i and the Fairbanks Sportsman’:
Club has volunteered assistance. I
is likely that some suitable specie
of trout will be introduced in the
region. The legislature appropriatec
?50,C00 for sports fish development
Other matters which came ui
: were: discussion of increased fisl
