Hoover, unless the export deben-
ture proposition was approved by
the administration as either a part

bills.
The suggestion that the deben-
ture plan ultimately might be at
tached 90 the tariff measure has
been advanced by a number OF
other senators and is known to
have considerable sympathy among
house democratic leaders.
The Iowan declared he now de-
sired to say to progressive mem

that If the proposition was re-
jected the time has come to or
ganize for a fight to the finish"
"If the debenture." he added. "in
the form I have here suggested, or
in its present form, cannot be put

The Iowan took the floor shorth;

and at about the hour that the
farm relief bill formally was re.
turned to the house as a result OF
the senate's refusal to approve fIle

cially were advised that the SEN
ate had voted as to 43 to insist
upon incorporation OF the PROPOSE
ton. In the house the measure
was placed on the speakers table
to await action, probably tomor-

Brookhart ripped intot he admin

arrived for a fight to the finish
on the debenture plan.

OLSON KAYOS JOE COLLIER
 IN MAIN BOUT
Legion Puts in Fine Card for July } Smoker
 Navy Triumphs

Two knockouts, two decisions or fouls and one draw featured the American Legion's fight card July 3. when the local fight fans were treated to all sorts of fighting, good indifferent and bad. Even the ref cree and announcer at times came close to being drawn into. the fracas.
 In the main, however, 1t was good entertainment. Events moved swift ly and only one of the scraps went the full route.
 Too Much Dynamite
 Olson administered sleeping po- tion to Collier in the main go oi the evening. He may be a soldier but he is certainly dynamite packer. Both fists were full oi TINT and he exploded great gobs of it on Golfers chin and jaw with alarming frequency.
 At that he didn't have things all his own way. Joe sent him to the canvas in the opening stanza with a left and right to the face that jared the soldier to his resin- covered soles. He wasn't seriously hurt, however, and came up carry ing the fight to Joe. In a fierce rally just as the round ended, Ol- son knocked Collier flat on his back with a one-two drive to the head. The blows came after the bell had sounded but unintention- ally so. The soldier had started them and just couldn't pull them back.
 The Chilkoot Barracks battler came out in the second round with both fists driving in on Collier like the strokes of a piston. He was all over Joe and never gave him a chance to go into his famous crouch. Joe tried hard, too, but the flock of jabs, hooks and punch es that came his way had him be- wildered. It was easy to see that the end wasn't very far off.
 Comes in Third
 And it came in the third round after 2 minutes and 45 seconds of fierce fighting on Olson's part and a lot of punishment taking by the local man. Within five seconds after the round opened, he was groggy and from then to the end he kept on through sheer game ness. Left and right straight punch es to the jaw floored Joe five sec onds after the session started Four times Olson flattened him out unti it looked as if Joe was trying tC qualify for a doormat. He hac everything written on him except the welcome sign.
 At the fifth knockdown and with Collier on the mat, his seconds tossed the towel into the ring. It was just as well, even if Joe could have gotten to his feet before the fatal count, he couldn't have car ried on. It was plainly his finish.
 Ralston Too Big
 Sailor Ralston was much too big
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-07-05

with Nick Lawrence, Hoonah's best True he was awarded it on a foul, but he had it coming anyway. Sammy was easily the better man. He was fast on his feet and faster with his dukes. He stung Lawrence repeatedly with lefts and rights to the head and jaw, drawing blood in the first and keeping it flowing in the second. After one minute and 45 seconds of scrapping in the second round, during which Lawrence was forced to clinch re- peatedly to avoid punishment, the Hoonah boy grabbed Sam's neck in stranglehold and Referee Franks waived him out of the ring, giving the fight to the local school boy.
 Thomas and Sanders went the full four-round route, and Franks saw it as draw. The house didn't seem to side with him in the matter but the decision stood. The first round was a tame affair with neither showing much besides a pair of gloves. Thomas speeded up after that and had Sanders in several tight places but let down when it seemed as if he could have applied the kayo.
 He didn't like the decision a little bit and showed disposition to renew hostilities with Franks as his opponent but the latter chang ed his mind for him.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-07-05

for Leyson in the number ont semi-final. But he lost on a fou in the fourth round after leading by wide margin all the way. Ley son is a clever man with fight ing heart and is as game as they come. But he couldn't overcome the heighth and reach of the sail or. He had to jump to reach his head and he took lot of punish ment trying to come into close quarters so he could try for the sailors bread basket.
 Ralston punished Leyson in ev- cry round with two-handed at- tack to the body, but his leads for the head and face were clever ly blocked or ducked by the small CT Filipino. The end came in the fourth round. Ralston had been driving Leyson around the ring with lefts and rights to the body, using hooks with telling effect. He drove him into the ropes and land- ed a low left and @ right just be- low the ribs on Leyson's left side The first blow did the damage. Referee Franks awarded the de- cision to Leyson, calling it a foul. pr. H. c. DeVighne, official physi- clan, made an examination and confirmed Franks judgment.
 There was no question about the blow being too low. But the foul was clearly unintentional It was a hook delivered with Ralston in a crouching position. The latter didn't like the decision and when it was announced by Announcer Grover c. Vim, he wanted to resume hos tilities, but English, one of his sec onds, intervened and led him away.
 Stattinger Works Fast
 The Navy took the Army into camp in the other semi-final. It wasn't an extended engagement. Sailor Stattinger stopped Battling Seibert, pride of Chilkoot Barracks, in exactly 45 seconds after the op- ening of hostilities.
 Stattinger looked good. He went into action with the calmness and precision of a dreadnaught, and with equal effectiveness. He bounced a 6-inch shell off Siebert's jaw for the count of nine at the first exchange. Seibert was dazed when he climbed to his launches. Again Stattinger crossed the sold ier's bow and this time turned loose a 16-inch shell that sent the latter into the daisy picking realms and when he awoke, the sailors were counting the shekels.
 Sammy Nelson won his argument
