Hard Hitting Armie Allison Outpointed
 By Clever Joe Hill
In a Thrilling Eight Round Battle.-R. Flores, Filipino,
 Is Knocked Out by Ralph Prescott in Second Round.

The American Legion's much ad-
 vertised boxing contest between Joe Hill of Petersburg and Armie Allison
 of Wrangell took place at the Rink
 Saturday night. That the affair was
 well attended is attested by the fact
 that the gate receipts amounted to
 more than $500. Quie a number of
 strange faces were seen in the au-
 dience which indicated that they
 were visitors from Petersburg. Ketchikan and elsewhere.
 As a boxing exhibition, the bouts
 were all fully up to expectations
 At no time was there the slightest
 lack of interest on the part of the l spectators.
 Thomas Dalgity who introduced
 the boxers stated that Hills weight
 was IT pounds. He appeared to be
 in better condition than when he
 boxed here on the Fourth. Allison appeared to be in good condition also and there was no time during the eight rounds when there appeared to
 be the slightest probability that AL | lison would be knocked out Hill is a
 man past 40 who has had years of ex- perience in the boxing game. His science is very soon manifest when he enters the ring, and his cleverness l is appreciated by the spectators. AL lison, although much younger than Hill, and of limited experience, is a hard hitter and shows considera ble endurance. In all the eight bouts he was fully as aggressive as his oppo nent.
 The bouts were refereed by Harry Ferguson. The judges were James Lovett and c. F. Hurley. In the opinion of the judges it was case where a hair line decision had to be made, and in their judgement Hill had outpointed Allison and was therefore entitled to the decision. In the preliminaries Kendall Northrop was given the decision over Bill Lewis. George Case was gwen the decision over Herbert Bradley. The most exciting bout in the pre- liminaries was between Ralph Pres colt and R. Flores of Manila, PI. Flores had the appearance of an ex- perienced pugilist, but after the first few passes it was evident that Pres colt would have no difficulty in holding his own. Although more pow erful than Prescott. Flores seemed to get rattled, and it was no surprise when Prescott knocked him out in the second round.
 The contest netted the American Legion between s90 and s10O. The Legion paid ali expenses and took 30 percent of the proceeds for promoting the event. Nominal amounts were paid the participants in the prelimi- inaries, after which the major DOT tion of the receipts were divided be- tween the principals, Hill receiving 50 per cent and Allison 40 per cent.

Sne sees mouse, and if real peril comes along. she'll exhibit more courage in five minutes than the average man could dig up in a hundred years.
 There are scores of different kinds of courage in this world, and you can't expect one man to have them all. A man may tremble and cringe when threatened with physical vio- lence. and yer stand up serene and magnificent when the assessor comes to the door. and there's nothing finer than that sort of moral courage.
 "There used to be a blacksmith in this town who had a wide reputation as a fire eater. He wasn't afraid of anything, people said. If he heard of a promising bruiser anywhere in the countryside he couldn't rest until he had mixed things with him. And he didn't ask for purses or other induce ments. He engaged in combat just because he loved it. and was happiest when his nose was knocked to one side, and his eyes were bunged up so that he couldn't see whether he was going or coming He acted the hero on several occasions. rescuing people from burning buildings. and saving gents who were drowning and his nerve became a byword.
 "Well, in the fullness of time his teeth went wrong and his head swelled up until 1t looked like a squash. He harJ0hr ahnu+ a million thinrs a tho drug store, and they wouldn't relieve the pain. The doctor told him he could have his sufferings ended in five minutes by going to the dentists. but that idea turned him faint. At last he had to go, and the dentist told me he never saw such a dOggone coward. That invincible blacksmith just had to be lifted Into the operating chair, and as often as he could get his breath, he yelled.
 ''The dentists chair takes the starch out of many brave man. I used to have to frequent 1t good deal before I bought these handmade tortoiseshell teeth, and I saw some moving sights when I was seated in the waiting room. Women would come in there as calm and cool as though they had just stepped in for a dish of ice cream. have seen a girl graduate sit chatting comfortably until her turn came, and then she'd step into the chamber of horrors without turning a hair; and then some big policeman, who'd think nothing of fighting a revolver duel in the dark with a burglar. would come into the waiting room as limp as dishrag. sweating ice tea and grooming every time he drew breath.
 "A man might easily get a lot of false ideas about courage~in the den- tist's waiting room.
 That man Kersmith. who stood and permitted a smaller man to twist his nose, has sort of courage I'd give lot to own. I've always wished I could make public speeches. I've a lot of pent-up eIoquence inside of me that ought to be turned loose for the edif- cation and instruction of the people. But every time I'm called upon for few timely remarks, I'm scared stiff, and can't say a blamed word. I just gurgle and splutter like sunstruck lunatic, and hate myself for three weeks after it.
 "But when Kersmith is called. he rises without a tremor. and smiles sweetly upon the audience, and goes ahead saying what he has to say as though in his own arm chair by his fire side. I'd be willing to have my nose and ears twisted several times to have his courage"

WORDS OF WISE MEN

Faults are thick where love Is thin.
 The family is the very heart of so- dety.
 The winds of diversity blow egotism out of us.
 Follow the wise few rather than the vulgar many.
 Where a mans heart is rooted there Is his home.
 It is backbone that makes progress not wishbone.
 It's better to congratulate yourself than pity yourself.
 Experience is merely the name men give to their mistakes.
 There is no sense in breeding over what is finished and done.
 Ordinary riches can be stolen from a man. Real riches cannot
 National hatreds are always strong est where culture is lowest.
 Friendship never forgets. That Is the wonderful thing about 1t.
 The commonplaces of one age or nation make the poetry of another. To live is the rarest thing In the world. Most people exist, that is all. Neither the good nor the evil you have done Is lost, though you forget both.
 Ignorance and bungling with love are better than wisdom and skill with out It.
