T have known stranger knock outs than that of Loughran," Jim my Bronson, who handled Gene Tunney in both his fights with Dempsey, told me afterward. T had a boxer in semi-final once who was knocked out in round. We went over to club after the fight and after a little conversa- tion, this boxer turned to me, look ed at his watch and said: Jimmy, we better be gettin' over to the arena. It's time for that fight I got tonight He had been knocked out and didn't remember it.
 T recall another fight in which Allentown Johnny Leonard, one of my boys, was knocked flat by Carl Duane in the first round. He was on his back, out cold, but in some manner his senses were partly re- stored by the impact of the knock down timekeeper's mallet with the ring floor.
 Still in a daze, he rolled over, barely staggered to his feet at the count of nine and then tore into Duane. When he came to the corner, he looked at me and said: I'm all right, Jimmy

Stones Unturned to
Assure Victory

The largest gathering of fans ever
to watch a Brownsville high school
eleven In action probably will be on
hand when the Screaming Eagles
line I'D for the kickoff Saturday
against Main avenue at San Antonio.
League park has been chartered in
anticipation OF a crowd ranging
from 10000 to $1,000. About 1000
valleyites turned out last year To
watch the Eagles tr0unce DePaul

Despite the fact that Main avenue

Couch Doug FeSSenden IS leaving
no stones upturned TO assure vic
tory for the locals. He has put the
SQUAD through two strenuous work
outs and will taper the club or:
Thursday and Friday. The Eagles
looked like champions in practice

Doug Fessenden's charges have
plenty OF confidence in their abil-
tiles but they are not over-confi-
dent. The boys know the penalty OF
q little Swell-headneSs. They know
they can win. but they are also cog

at all the activity and interest talk en by local and outside people,, I am sure Valdez in a very short time will hold it's own with any of her sister towns.
 "So lets all of us boost for Valdez. By doing so you are boosting for your own and other towns in the Third Division. We all know that the Third Division is today the largest producer, so why not let us all help to keep the good work up and be 100 percent Alaskan. I must thank MT. Schallerer of Seward for the good word he had for Valdez. MT. Schallerer was here long enough to see and find out how things looked to him and by the way he expressed himself in your own paper, he certainly must have formed good opinion about the future of Valdez.
 When one of your leading busi- ness men can express himself so favorably towards Valdez he cer- tainly is a booster and 100 percent Alaskan. If Alaska only had few more such men as MT. Schallerer, every town in the Third Division would get along very nicely, and be a little more neighborly toward each other. So let us boost for Val dez.

Just an eye opener as a remin- der from Valdez, as it looks today, and don't for minute think that this good old town of Valdez is dy- i ing-far from it. Just the other day one of the largest real estate transactions took place. An old timer of Valdez, but in the last few years located at Ketchikan, bought two business lots and two large houSees on the main street and five lots on the end of the same street. He also bought a large house form erly owned by Walter Steward
 "So you can see that it doesn't look as though Valdez were going to die right away. This man is going into business next spring and he must have the right hunch. At least we hope so. As for the mining outlook, it was never better. For the past two months here, a mining eX- pert has been looking over all the holdings in the Valdez vicinity. Such property as the Mayfield Charles WelzlerS, Jeff Desernny and William Areetz, Charles Ell wood and A. Thompson, all of which is located right at the front door of Valdez. All this property has been reported favorably by these men and this weeks boat is bringing two mining men to look at the latest find, by Ellwood, Thompson and Alex Singletasy.
 And then there is the Ramsey Rutherford mine on the Valdez Glacier; it was good gold produc- CT few years ago. This little mine is going to open up at an early date about 10 men going up this win ter to make improvements on the buildings and build a new trail or road to the mine. So when we look
