Not a Frame-up

Paris, Jan. 1J.-(By A. P.)-All of
those accused in connection with the
alleged "frame-up" of the cham
pionship match between Battling
Sikh and Georges Carpenter. are de-
ted to the French Boxing Fedora
ton today by the committee which

The committee is absolutely con-
WINGED that the match on Sept. "a,
1992), was NOT preceded by an I'M
derstanding the object OF which was
to arrange the events of the match
the result"
The investigators express regret
that certain circumstances have
%iNen weight to the accusations in
the eyes of many Spo:tsmen. They
recommend that the Federation IN
the future take steps to have its reg
ulat!ons strictly applied, so that ar
nouncenent of purses will not be
made which fail to correspond with
the contracts signed by the boxers.
and proper order will be maintained
around the boxing rings.
The Fernch Boxing Federation in
accepting the report of the inVesti-
eating committee. declares that the
fight between Sikh and Carpenter
was not preceded by any irregular
arrangement. but was sincerely
fought and the result was in accord
ance with regular ring procedure.
The decision of the investigating
committee clears Skis former man
aSer. NJ. Hellers. and Georges Car
pentier and his manager. Francois
Descamps. from charges that an ar
rangement was made by which the
SoneSalcse was to feign defeat in the
fourth round. Sikh brought his
charges. with the aid of the deputy
from Senegal, NJ. DiaSne. after tire
boxing federation declared his new
lywon title of light heavyweight
champion forfeit because of an cs-
capade at a subsequent fight when.

 AS FAR As MILE FORTY

By night trains will be running nearly as far as Mile 40 on this end of the road, and were the bridge at Placer river and along the Arm fixed trains could probably creep through to Anchorage The roadbed is in bad shape, however, owing to being so saturated with water that it is soft, and unless it dries out before cold weather will bother more or less all winter, as the frost will cause heaves in the wet ground.
 Yesterday the crews repaired large breaks at Mile 205 and Mile 23.5 and a crew is also working near Hunter, where some damage was done to the grade by the river above Trail lake overflowing the track.
 Roadmaster George Colwell is very busy man these days, and de- spite lack of equipment and men, is making good time toward the Arm.
 Foremen Gus Manthey and Jack Price are working parts of crews, the former on the bridge gang and the latter on the roadbed, while the crews of the crane and the local freight are also kept busy hustling supplies and materials to the front.
 At Mile 26 the waters of Trail Lake stood over the track and railroad grade from two to four feet and at other points glacier streams were di- verted and cut through the roadbed
