nose with a failing left in the third and landed both lefts and rights to the head in that round. He repeated this in the fourth, drawing more blood and near the end of the round, Roberts was clearly in distress from Nelson's battering tactics.
 Roberts made his best showing in the fifth. For the first half of that round, he led with two- handed attack to the head. He weakened in the last minute and Nelson was driving him back to the ropes with short rushes when the bell ended it.
 Both boys mixed it freely in the opening of the sixth. For a short time, Roberts held his own, but Sammy repeatedly found openings for a straight left to the nose and mouth and soon took the lead. Nell son finished unmarked and was much stronger than his opponent when the final gong sounded.
 Referee Sperling sided with Judge E. c. Adams in calling it draw while Judge Karl Theile scored five rounds for Nelson.
 Sharkey -Leyson Draw
 Young Sharkey, Unalga ilor, gave away eight pounds to Joe Leyson in their four-round special go, and earned a popular draw This was one of the best matches on the card. Leyson had the bet ter of the argument in the first two periods, although Sharkey drew first blood with stinging right to the nose in the first round. Leyson landed twice to Sharkey's head with his left and once to the head and once to the body with his right in this stanza.
 In the second round, Ley-on stab- bed Sharkey's nose with left and tapped the claret. He clipped Sharkey with two hard rights to the head and Sharkey returned a stiff left to Leyson's head
 In the third, Sharkey stepped out to big lead. He waded into Joe with swinging fists, landing three lefts and three rights to the head and twice to the body. Ley son was on the defensive most of the time.
 In the fourth round, Leyson shook Sharkey with hard right just be- low the right eye. For few seconds, it bothered the sailor and he had trouble getting his sights corrected. But he carried Joe along until his head and vision cleared and ended the round with a fierce rally that gave it to him. The draw decision was roundly ap- plauded.
 Good Preliminaries
 The two preliminaries were good for inexperienced boys. Jerry Rob- erts was the better boxer, but Whiteley evened things up by dis playing a left that had heaps of nitro in it. Every time he hit Jerry, the latter skidded clear across the ring. The argument wasn't one sided and the draw was fair to both lads.
 Ervig, a little brown brother from Manila, gave Don Smith quite lit tie punishment in the first two rounds of the curtainraiser. Don returned the compliment in the last two frames and both the fighters and fans were pleased when the judges opined it was even. Harry Sperling was third man in the ring. E. c. Adams and Karl Theile officiated as judges. Time keepers were Dave Housel and H. H. Post.
 Arrangements Are Excellent The lighting arrangements for the ring, new in Juneau, were ex- fcellent Big incandescents hung high above the ring were flashed on at the start of each round of every bout, and all of the house lights turned off. This favored the boxers and made for better vision for the spectators.
 For the first time locally, whis- tie signal was used to warn the seconds from the ring a few seconds before the gong started the rounds. This was an innovation that also pleased.
