Apparently the little meeting last
night in Brooklyn between Mr.

such a much, as the fight fans say
Some of us were disappointed that
the fight was not broadcast. but
reading what the sports writers
have to say about it this morning
makes one sort of thankful that it
was not.
Not much fun listening to a fight
over the radio anyhow, compared
with seeing the real thing, and fans
can see the real thing tomorrow
night at the Imperial Valley Ath-

The calibre of the fight cards here
is best illustrated by looking at the
card arranged for tomorrow night
in San Diego. Al Alicante meets
Charlie Cobb in the main event. AL
cante has fought here several times
in the last few months. Claude
Richards is meeting Tommy Santos
in the seni-final. Richards head

on the whole have been far above
the average. Last weeks bouts, due
TO extremely depressing atmosphe-

ducing a titleholder it effectively
eliminated both principals from
consideration as challengers for the
championship now held by Max

On the basis of their perform

nor Walker could be rated as 4
worthy opponent for the German
champion.
Although he got no better than
a draw for his effort, Sharkey ap-
peared to have slightly the better

he had a clear margin in seven
rounds, and held Walker even in
five others. leaving out three rounds
that Walker could call his own.
However, his performance was 50

 PROVES SUCCESSFUL

There was no sign of depression att Resurrection Lutheran church yesterday at the annual fancy work sale and dinner, of the Ladies Aid Society. AS usual residents of Juneau showed their willingness to support a good cause.
 An unusually fine array of hand worked articles was artistically dis played and was well patronized. The soft light of candles cast a mellow glow over the tea tables, the tasteful setting and arrange ment of which induced many to finger and chat. An excellent din- ner featuring boiled ham and home made apple pie concluded suc- cessful day.
 Success was due both to the ladies who gave so literally of thei. time, and to those who so gener- ously rewarded their efforts. The ladies in charge are especially to be congratulated, said Erling K Olafson, the pastor.
