INK CORNER FOR

quer BaIefuI Influence From

NEW YORK. Jan. GA sure jInS
has been lowering over the southeast
corner of the ring a Tex Rlckard
big playground in Madison Square
Garden. Out of four big champion
ship contests held under the new
Walker law that corner has harbored
but one winner. When Joe yelling
came on from Chicago to question
Benny Leonard's claim to the light
weight title it was from the south
east corner the Westerner emerged,
only to be knocked foolish in the
fourteenth round by the clever and
hard-hitting Bennah.
Bill Brennan defied fate and nestled
in his corner. He did fairly well for
eleven rounds. but stepped q short
distance from the angle in to
twelfth frame and Dempsey knocked
him sprawling. Richie Mitchell came
here all the way from Milwaukee to
battle Leonard for the lightweight
title, and he was finally propped up
in the unlucky corner. Richie stayed
around for six periods then the hard
luck demon appeared and Leonard
did the rest with series of hard
punches.
Mr.. Jinx is Joe Lynch When he
stepped out of the southeast corner
at the end of fifteen rounds he was
bantamweight champion OF the world.
having whaled Pete Herman in a
majority of the rounds. He won on
a decision.
Fighters as a rule are the most
superstitious lot in the world and
1t is cinch that there won't be
any of them scrambling to get into
the 3. G. corner from now on.

Douglas Home Cutted by Fire Resulting from Overheated
 Stove-Much Damage.

l. Several hundred dollars damage resulted from fire that consumed much of the interior wood work wall paper and decorations of the Gust Moval house on Third and B. streets last night and which was only extingnished after two streams of water and considerable quan- tity of chemicals were poured On the blaze. Gus Wahto, with his family occupied the building, and he was quite severely burned about the face and hands in rescuing some of his children from the blaze and in trying to control it.
 The fire started about ten o'clock and was caused by excessive heat in the kitchen stovo. The family was in another room and did not know of tho start until the kitchen was fairly in a blaze. It was with the utmost difficulty that tho par ents rescued their four small child ren who were sleeping in various parts of the building. With the ex- ception of trunk, no personal be- longings were saved from the fire and water. 6
 The fire alarm was answered by a. sled, hose cart and chemical en- zine from Hose Company No. One, and chemical engine from Company Four Two streams of water, one fresh and one salt, and two chemical streams were played on the interior of the building for some time be- fore the blaze was entirely suDducd !. On account of the house being charged with electricity, many of the firemen were quito badly shocked but kept at their posts on the var ious posts on the hose lines.
 The Moval house was one of the newest and best residences in Doug las and built but a few years ago. Its owner lives in Tacoma at the present time. The alarm of last night was the first turned in at Douglas in more than a year.

EASTERN CLUBS
 PREPARING NEW
 GAME MEASURE
Will Make Effort to Gel Alaska Game Law Through
 Next Term of Congress.

That there will be an effort made by Eastern interests to have a game law for Alaska passed at the next session of Congress is indicated il correspondence received recently by Gov. Thomas Riggs, from Washing ton. Eastern protectionist game clubs and conservationi5ts, it IS stated in a letter from Dr. E. w. Nelson, Chief of the Biological Sur, vey, are at this time at work pre- pairing what they consider an ideal game measure for Alaska.
 As the measure has not been com pleted. it is impossible to give any idea of all it's provisions, but fl ls stated that it will include 9 provi3- ion for the sale of certain game in Interior Alaska and one for the re moval of the protection on the brown bear. Dr. Nelson states that he believes that the measure VII prove 10 be acceptable to the people of Alaska.
 It is the opinion of most Alaskan however, end especially those who have taken an active interest in ma1- ters pertaining to game legislation, that the people of tho Territor1 should be allowed to have a decid. ing voice in any now measure passed controlling the game situation in the Territory. This view has been re- peatedly voiced by Gov Riggs, Presi- dent Isaac Soworby. Secretary Char les D. Garfield and other members of the Alaska Fish and Game Club These men hold that even with the best possible Intentions and tho greatest good will, Eaetorn sports men who are interesting themselyc 3 in the matter lack the definite know ledge of Alaskan conditions having a direct bearing on tho situation which E necessary for intelligent action thereon.
 Coy. Riggs said today that the Alaska Fsih and Game Clubs specia' committee recently appointed 10 pre-. care the final draft of a gamc bill for rreeentation to Congress through the Territorial Legislature has prac- ticaHv completed it's work and will be ready 10 offer 9 complete measure to the club within few days The fact that Eastern clubs arc also preparing a measure dealing with inc question. he said. will net have any effect on the Alaska Clubs policy. The bill will he presented by the Alaska Fish and Game Club at the coming session of the Territorial Legislature.
