PEN, INK SKETCH
 WAL TER CLECHORV
 IN SEATTLE PAPER
SELDOVlA LAD RAPIDLY FORCING TO FRONT IN COAST PUGI-
 LiSTlc CIRCLES

Speed is his stock in trade, says the Seattle Star of recent issue in describ- ing Walter Cleghorn, and following the caption was large pen and ink sketch of the clever Seldovia lad, who left his northern home to gain fame and fortune in the pugilistic circles in the States. And at the rate Cleghorn is going, his friends predict it will on- ly be short time when he will be boxing main events on the Pacific Coast.
 It has been the keen pleasure of the editor of this paper to have closely followed the career of Cleghorn since he first stepped into the ring at An chorage, about four years ago. He was green then, terribly green, and knew next to nothing about boxing science But he loved the game and possessed what is called the fighters heart. With youth on his side-he is not yet out of his teens-and with the proper training, everyone predicted Walter had a good chance to go up, providing he took care of himself. He has done that. And he is also under capable hands in Seattle for Lonnie Austin, former Pacific Coast welter- weight champion, is his trainer. Every boxing fan knows or has heard of Austin and the many boys he has sent to the top.
 Possessing a fast left hand Cleghorn who is c1assed in the light-heavy- weight division is not only strong hitter but can take them. This was plainly evidenced in a bout he had two years ago with a flashy and clever boxer by the name of Speed" Williams. Williams knew he had not chance with Walter providing Wal ter connected so immediately at the sound of the gong, he set himself and let Walter come in Walter did and took a lovely crack square on the chin. Not once but three times. Ma turally, the blows staggered him but only for moment or two as he came right back for more. It was then, Williams said, he knew he was beat for he had put everything into those three punches and could not stop Cleghorn. In this fight Cleghorn broke two of Williams ribs.
 In his bouts in Seattle he has won every one and in his last match he stepped from out the preliminary class into the semifinals and around the coast cities lad must be pretty good to do that little thing. If any thing at all will prove a handicap to Walter it will be his size. With few exceptions fighters in his class are generally much taller, rangy fellows. The Seldovia lad lacks the height be- ing quite short and stocky, but he has a kick in either hand which should | bring the majority of his opponents down tn his size

CORPORATION
WINS PRIZE IN
SAFETY POSTERS

For the first time, the Abraham
Lincoln humanitarian award has
been won by a corporation. This
unique honor goes to the Union Oil
company of California in reciprocal
tion of it's Be Careful campaign.
Announcement to this effect was
made this week by the Oregon HUI
name Society which made the
award.
In telegram to w. L. Stewart,
president of the Union Oil company
of California, Mrs. F. w. Swanton
of the Oregon Humane Society
stated: II take great pleasure in
informing you that your fine post
ers on safety first when driving
have been noticed and commented
upon favorably all over the coun-
try. You have won the great honor
of receiving the gold bronze Oregon
Humane Society Abraham Lincoln
humanitarian award for co-opera-
ton"
The Unions safety campaign
was inaugurated some months ago
when investigation showed that the
automobile accident situation was
becoming acute The Union Off
cials went on the premise that
automobile drivers were not, as a
general rule, deliberately careless,
but rather were victims of the urge
for greater speed, which is inner
ent in so many motorists.
1t was felt that if some means
could be evolved which would bring
home to the careless motorist the
folly of his actions, halt would
be called to the growing total Of
automobile accidents. The present
campaign which provided for the
utilization of 1900 posters on the
Pacific Coast typifying motoring sit
uations in which careful driving is
necessary and which carry a direct
and positive appeal to observe safe
driving practices was therefore in
augurated.
