BENEFIT BOXING MATCH
WAS FINANCIAL SUCCESS

The no decision all star boxing exhibition for the benefit Of the Wrangel General Hospital held at the gym last Saturday night drew a good crowd and every one present surely got his moneys worth.
 There was division of sentiment as to which of the five bouts was the best exhibition. Some claimed that Laurie Braad and Jack Urata were the prize boxers. Others con tended that Peter Casey and Cliff Berry did equally as we'll, while all admitted that Earl Enos and Otto Teller were not slow. There were two bouts between adults. Kid Stokes took on Mickey Prescott. and Louis Rudolph took on George Bell All bouts consisted of three rounds. Harry Ferguson was the referee.
 As seen by the financial state ment below, the hospital board re ceiyed more than one hundred dol lars from the affair. The Sentinel has been requested by Board to thank the boxers and ali who aided in making the affair a success.
 Ther is a strong sentiment here among boxing fans to have the ban removed from boxing in Alaska in order that the boxers may carry their sport to the point of a deci- sion, the same as is permitted at present in many parts of the world

Swept by an Arctic storm from Little Squaw Bay, Siberia, in a skin canoe, six straYing survivors of a party of eight native Walrus hunters reached Gambell, an Eski- mo village on the northern end of St. Lawrence island where the bu- reau of education maintains 8 school for the natives. The arms and legs of the Siberians were frozen, their eyes were swollen shut, and their garments were in tatters.
 The hunters were forced by hunger to start out after walrus. They set out from Little Max on February 2, and failing to find walrus near shore, Ventured far ther out. They were caught by severe Arctic gale, and on the fourth night out they pulled their boat out on the ice to escape the fury of the storm. The next day the ice carried them to St. Law renee Island. Two members of the party became lost on the ice during the binding storm and are believ- ed to have perished. Another na- tive was so exhausted when the ice reached St. Lawrence Island that he could not accompany his com panions when they started ashore, YVES found later, however, by a seaching party headed by Samuel P. Troutman, the government school teacher.
