Hospital Dance .lets Good Sum
 The benefit dance for the Stewart hospital held in Le- zion Hall, Stewart, Wednes- day evening was a most en- joyable affair and netted $36.3O from proceeds amount ing to $50.00.
 Combined with cash donat- ions in November amounting to $122.25, the returns from the dance gave the hospital local revenues totaling $15S.- 55. The donations included S10 from Hyder M. E. Church, $20 from the Hyder Hospital Association, $30 from St. Marks w. A. and $62.25 in smaller amounts from a large number of Stewart citizens.

Highest Gold Output
 Since 1915 Expected

More gold probably will be produced in the mines of the world this year than at any time since the record years of 1915 and 1916.
 A conservative estimate, ac- cording to Engineering and Mining Journal, places the 1881 output at 21,00O,000 ounces, compared with 20,- 150,000 ounces in 1880.
 "Not only is the actual vol ume of production by gold mines greater than at any time in the last fifteen years, D ithe publication states, "but the scale of profits is also greater.
 "The depression that has spelled disaster to so many other industries has lowered production costs for the gold industry, which obtains fix ed price for it's product.

The La Feria Nighthawks and

Sentiment Is
Aid To Fists
In Prize Ring
Sentiment Wins

You don't always have to win a
fight with your fists. Sometimes you
can score a victory with the help
Of sweet sentiment. That is how
Mickey Walker, in being awarded
a draw with Jack Sharkey, scored
a moral victory.
Sharkey beat him, OF course. He
did not win by an overwhelming
margin, It Is true, but as far as
actual fighting was concerned, he
won. He floored Walker. He almost
whacked out his eye. He poked him
with a darting left hand and smack
ed him solidly with rights. But when
he hit Walker, the crowd was silent.
When Walker hit Sharkey even so
much as a glancing blow on the
shoulder, the 5000 people at Eb-
bets Field stormed In applause.
The crowd set UP a cheer when
ever the smaller Walker led. Ac-
tually + do not believe ne hurt Shar-
key with a single punch, rel when
In the eleventh round, he caught
the sailor off balance against the
ropes ana plastered him with a vol
ley Of rights and lefts.
Gets Break
Walker entered the fight with a
tremendous sentimental advantage.
This feeling was not limited 70 the
paying customers. Tt was pretty
plain in the press box. too. II there
was TO be any kind OF a break
Walker was to get 1t. Well, he got
II.
Walker got the break" but the
Sharkey man was a disappointment
at that. His expected ferocity
against Walker was exhibited only
az times. He swung enough good
punches to win. but he was not fast
enough and not aggressive enough
in the light OF his former conquests
OF Loughran and Maloney.
Evidently most Of the newspaper
men who scored the fight took seri-
GUS consideration OF the lite fell
lows weight disadvantage and his
sterling fighting qualities in COM
putting the result.
This writer picked Sharkey TO
win. ! thought II would be a cinch
for him to stop the Mick. And. while
still retaining the opinion that 1t
should be easy for him to beat
Walker. I do not think he ever
would-if they held the same fight
weekly for say 1000 years.
Shows Stamina
Walkers defense did surprise me.
So did his stamina. I do not under
stand what held him up after some
OF those straight shots OF S~harkey's.
Sharkey would have had to score
an overwhelming victory to gain
the decision over the sentimental
advantage that Walker carried.
Plainly he beat Walker. but the
margin was not great enough to
balance the popularity In which the
Mick was held.
Sharkey retains his rating rs the
best heavyweight in the business to
my mind, but the most unfortunate.
