physician and was given thorough physical examination. He tipped the scales at 154 pounds and was pronounced by the physician to be in excellent physical condition for the fight. He has trained hard for it and is as hard as nails. Those who have watched him work claim he is like chain lightning or his feet and hits hard with both hands. A left jab is his best asset and he knows how to use 1t to the best advantage.
 Word comes from the Army post at Haines that Olson is in better condition for this bout than he was when he met Collier. He has his eye on the middleweight title for Alaska and is taking no chances on having them upset by Silvers. He was due to arrive here about 5 pm. today from HaineS on the Torrance which is bringing laree CiOWd OOWll lOl JliC SLlOkcI.

 Three other good bouts round out this evenings entertainment. Sam my Nelson, local high school boy, is getting his hardest test against Soldier Miller from Chilkoot Bar racks. These boys will fight at 40 pounds.
 Two classy welterweights will show their wares in the special event, Tiger Leyson meeting Eddie Roberts. Lcyson has the call in ring experience and age. But Rob- erts is a smashing hitter with a fighting heart and may com c through with the punch that brings home the winning end of the purse.

MRS. GEORGE REGRETS NECESSITY OF TRIP TO SOUTH FOR YEAR

On the eve of the forthcoming departure of herself and husband for the south for an indeterminate stay Mrs. M George, for the past 13 years manager of the Leader Department Store, expressed her regret at the necessity for leaving Juneau even for a brief time, and her appreciation for the patronage of the people of Juneau.
 Announcement was made earlier this week of the transfer of the management of the business from MT. and Mrs George to their three sons, Thomas, Joe and Gus. MT and Mrs. George and their three daughters, Matilda, Lilly and Vir.. ginia, will leave in the near future.

Sport !, S1antS ALAN J.GouLD

You see his name rarely in the box scores any more, but Eddie Collins, king pin of second base men when the Old Athletics were winning worlds championships, is vital cog in the New As. As staff aide to General Connie Mack, Col lins takes over good deal of the detail work. Brought up from his college days in the Mack school of thought, Eddie is a keen strategist himself, a quick thinker with the same intuition that Ty Cobb pos sesses for doing the right thing.
 Now that Cobb has retired, Col hns in his twenty second consecu- tive year in the majors, has the longest continuous service record of any player still in uniform.
 Recently I asked Collins the sec ret of Mack's ability to maintain so keen a grasp of baseball's swift moving affairs after so longA term as manager and at an age when most elderly gentlemen prefer ease or golf to directing an exciting ball game from hard, hot bench.
 You know, it never ceases to amaze me-the real enthusiasm that MT. Mack retains," replied Eddie. of course he has forgotten more about the game than most of us will ever know, yet he retains the memory of everything essential. The style of play has changed but MT. Mack has kept up with it. I have never seen anyone so con- sistently keen in sizing up situa- tions and plays. so able in handl- ing a variety of players, many of

At 8:15 o'clock this evening the American Legion's Labor Day box ing card will be staged in Elks Hall. There are four bouts on the card, which means more than an hour of scrapping if all of them go the scheduled distance.
 Harry Sperling will be the third man in the ring in all of the events. Other officials are: Judges Dr. w. w. Council and E. C. Adams; timekeeper, Dave Housel.
 Good Main Event
 The main event is between Sol- diert Olson, Haines, conquerer of Joe Collier in the Fourth of July show and Doc Silvers, one of the most experienced ring opponents ever to appear here. This has all the earmarks of being a thriller. And Olson isn't going to have any thing like the easy going he found on his last appearance here.
 Silvers weighed in yesterday be- fore Dr. w. A. Borland, official

 We arc taking a years vacation for our health and regret very much this enforced absence from Juneau" Mrs. George said We feel, however, that it is absolutely necessary for the benefit of our health. On this account we have transferred the business to our
 hree sons, Tom, Joe and Gus, and they have expressed their entire willingness to assume this respon-
 ibility, thus keeping in the family he business we have spent SO many years in building up"

them temperamental-it is almost uncanny to me.
 "The club this year is working its head off for one man-Connie Mack. Of course we all like to be with a winner but to a man the As think more of winning this pennant for MT. Mack than they do for any extra money or glory they may get out of it."
 Like many veterans, Eddie Collins regrets the way the free-hitting era of baseball has ruined most of the old inside stuff"
 T don's say we were any smart CT in the old days but the game of Is to 20 years ago certainly put more premium on fast-thinking and quick action than nowadays" he re- marked. "A big flock of runs now can knock the best prepared piece of strategy all over the field.
 T think the reason for lot of the hitting is lack of confidence among many pitchers after they have been battered up. You know pitching is 50 per cent confidence, anyway, with around 30 percent for ability and 20 per cent for the breaks Hitting is just about the same"

Of between 1000 and 1850 acres

1000 persons. Each colony viii

ties for research work TO find ef'
ficaco methods to rahabilitate drug
addicts. Nothing Of this character
has ever before been attempted.
All addicts IN Federal prisons, now
numbering about 1,TOO. win be trans
ferred to the farms. Thus not on y
win the colonies relieve prison con-
gestion, but they win 60 long
way toward solving the vexRtious
problem OF curing addiction. Science
has hitherto devoted little attention
to this subject.

All three members Of the building
commission are regarded as experts
on the narcotics problem. DR.. Tread

the curing Of drug addiction through

rather than prison confinement.
One farm win b0 locs csted in the

selected because OF their accessibility
and their favorable climatic condi.
