The person who originated this
story may haye stretched the truth
q little, Init lisa fact that fifteen
or twenty years ago Goddard,
while embroiled in . political braWl
in Philadelphia, was shot, and he
lived for . week with q bullet IN
his head.
But getting back to the match
with Sharkey. Tom returned from
Ireland fairly aching for fight. :.
His visit with his parents, and
with his boyhood friends, had I'M
bued him with new ambitions, and
the night Of the fight with God
dard he got in the ring almost IS
soon as he reached the building,
and sat fretting and fussing be-
cause Goddard wasn't there on the
minute to begin trading wallops
with him.
Goddard wore q mustache, IS
did Peter Maher and Frank 2.

of fact, were the last Of the famous
old heavyweights to wear NOUS
tacheS.

dard's mustache because of the
mental picture / still have OF Old
Joe walking down the aisle Of the
ring with his mustache bristling
and his eyes peering out fiercely

] ever saw,
Goddard. a natural fighter like
Sharkey, was no more inclined to
waste time in preliminaries than
was Tom, and he had been in the
ring not more than a few seconds
when the bell rang, and he and
Tom were tearing at each other
like a pair Of bulls.
The fight was certainly "hun-
dinger" while it lasted, but in this
fight, as in so many others, youth
told, and Sharkey, from the third
round on, began knocking Goddard
down.
When the fourth round was over,
Sharkey returned to the corner
and remarked: "Bedad, the sides
Of the battleship Philadelphia are
no tougher than this bird"
YES" / agreed, "he's tough;
but" / added, "tell you what to
do. The next time you knock him
down put your knee on his neck
and hold him down until the ref
cree counts him out"
The advice was intended rs
Joke, of course, and Tom, luckily,
didn't have to act on it, for in the
fifth round he let 60 q right-hand
wallop that landed on the side Of
Goddard's jaw and put him down
for good.

MODIFICATION OF BONE DRY LAW

With the idea that light wines and beer, or some modification of the Valstead act, will soon have arrived through Congressional ac- ton, the Legislatures of various states like California and Washington, where a special bone dry law is in vogue, are seeking to have the same repealed They want the state laws identical with the Federal prohibition statutes so that if Congress iberates the present law the bone-dry states will be also subject to this change immediately.
 In this connection it may be said that there has been considerable discussion along this line in Alaska, where we have one of the dryest of dry-bone laws that Congress could give us Tn all probability the incoming Leg islature will be asked to take some action that will tend to place Alaska in the same catagory with the states that are only con tro7ed by the Volstead act.
 All that could be done here would be to memorialize Congress to annul the speclal act or to pass an act giving the voters of the Territory an opportunity to vote on the question, with the expectation that II change was favored that Congress would respect thelr desire in the matter, and repeal the present bone-dry law that applies only to Alaska. If it is the will of the people that th1s should be done then Alaska would be in position to participate in whatever liberation of the Vol- stead act that might be brought about during the next few years ' ~~~'~
 Several members of the Legislature have been approached on this proposition but whether the sentiment will be strong enough to induce action this year is problem that the next few months will determine. Un- doubtedly the Women's Christian Temperance Union and other strong prohibition adher- ents will vigorously oppose any change from the existing law, but it cannot be successfully controverted that the sentiment for more lberalized law is becoming more pronounced in Alaska every month.-Juneau Capital.
