HICLEY TOO BIG. FOR JOE COLLIER
 AT ELKS' SMOKER
Douglas Heavyweight Puts Away Clever Native by
 Technical Knockout.

champion of Alaska, having scored technical knockout over game, clever Joe Collier, near the end of the fifth round of a slashing six round bout. The battle, the head line one of the Elks smoker, staged before more than five hundred good natured boxing fans from every point of Gastineau Channel Saturday night, came as climax to four other fast and furious mills that brought the audience to it's feet cheering time after time.
 Until the fatal fifth, Collier had been going good, swapping punch for punch with the hard hitting Higley, and showed extreme clev erness in ducking some of the latter's heaviest haymakers The first and second rounds were even while Higley scored quite heavily in the third when he worried his man with uppercuts to the body and head. Collier came back strong in the fourth but in the fifth Higey began to get to him and at about the mid
  knockdowns. Collier showed poor ring generalship by not staying down for the count of nine but staggered to his feet each time toI be met by rain of blows that fin ally had him dazed and helpless, | although still on on his feet when Referee Wilson stopped the bout and raised Higley's hand as a sign of victory Higley had about fifteen pounds advantage in weight.
 Beaudin-CarIos Go Fast
 The Beaudin Carlos match was the fastest one of the evening, the men being feather weights In the early stage of the bout, Beaudin scored quite often with a straight left that seemed to pack punch that was punishing. Carlos, the | llipino, was faster than his oppon- | ent, and had good footwork that i kept him out of harms way much | of the time. In the third he used right hook to the jaw that put i Beaudin down for the count of nine and repeated in the fifth. Beau- | din did all of the leading but could not reach the elusive Filipino with . the sleep producing blow. At the | end of the sixth round the little whirl wind started right and left hooks to the jaw sending Bedudin [ to the canvas and he was only saved | from a knockout by the bell. The judges decision gave the bout to Carlos.
 Curtain Raiser Draw
 The curtain raiser was between Bill Manley of Douglas and Young Beaudin, bantamweights. Manly had the advantage in height and reach | but seemed to have stage fright and that kept him from following up his advantages. The first round was about even and the second and third were Manley's after which Beaudin opened up and by superior cleverress had his opponent in distress several times in the fourth and fifth, Man ley staged a comeback in the sixth i that made the match more even. ! It was declared a draw. Young Beau | din showed himself to be one of the | cleverest boxers ever seen in the ring in Juneau.
 Stiff Punches Swapped
 The next match between AtYell | and Hollywood, both of Tread%ell, | while not billed as a main event was, as far as swapping punches and hair raising incidents were concern ed. a corker. Atwell started out strong and early in the first round ! and had his man bleeding and in distress Hollywood was clever inT covering up and saved himself in that way exposing nothing to be hit but the back of his neck to the rabbit punch" After the first and up to the fifth each one of the f men had the advantage at one time or another. Hollywood's vicious up- percuts did great damage while Att wells hooks took toll every time they landed. In the fifth Hollywood | was almost out when he was knocked ] through. the ropes into the laps of the spectators. He staged sen sational comeback near the end of the sixth when by whirlwind fight ing he had Atwell in distress from which the sound of the gong only saved him. The judges decision was for Hollywood.
 Chuch Outclassed
 Chuch a big native boy, who was matched with Osborn, in the welter weight class, looked clever in the first round but could not stand the pace set for him by his oppon- ent who was a whirlwind. Sung by several defeats in the local ring Osborn was out to win and he did At two different times he met Chuch just as he was getting out of bta chair and inc comnact as
