Ere eddie Mack and Miles Murphy in Main Event
 Head Good Bill

What many followers of the fis- tic pastime regard as the best pug ilistic card offered in Juneau in a long time will be presented under auspices of the local post of the American Legion in A. B. hall to- night. Every event on the pro- gram, which besides three boxing bouts includes wrestling match, gives promise of developing into an interesting affair.
 The main attraction, of course, is the six-round encounter for the middleweight championship of AL aska arranged between Freddie Mack of Seattle and Miles Murphy of Juneau, both registered at 155 pounds.
 Mack Packs WallOp
 Mack packs wallop that has earned for him the pseudonym of Dynamite He is a veteran in the squared circle. He has to his credit many early-round victories of the knockout variety. He is ln the pink of condition. He has been training faithfully, and ought to show at top form tonight.
 Murphy is not so experienced or so rugged as the Seattle man, but the Juneau athlete has an advan- tage in height. He towers two inches over his opponent. Murphy has a punch strong enough to vii if he can land it where he wants to.
 The belief is general that the main event will not go the limit.
 The special bout between Louis Nabalis of Juneau, and Kid Do Graccio, recently of Manila, eacf tipping the beam at close to 12( pounds, ought to be a tobasco al fair. Both are confident of bring ing things to quick end.
 Preliminary Event
 The preliminary eatures two contenders of merit. Billie Nlckino vich and Willie Rodenberg, l3' pounders. If either wins decisive ly within the scheduled four rounds he will be on his way up.
 Novelty to the program Will p' added by a couple of grapplers Sailor Mcclure, who is billed a. former middleweight champion O the United States Navy, will mee Gene Hulk, known as the "Terrlol' Russ" As nothing but the toe hold" is barred, the two rivals fol mat honors will be left free to em ploy, during three bouts of SD minutes each, any of the othe bone crushing tactics of their gen tie art.
 The evenings program will star promptly at o'clock.

 Cancels Lecture En- agreements

New York. Dec. 14.-(UP).- Winston Churchill, noted British statesman, was forced to cancel iec- ture engagements in New York and Chicago to-day because of in- juries suffered last night when he was struck by a taxi cab.

The driver helped Churchill into his car and took him to the hospital. nearby. Churchill was given a thorough examination by Dr. Otto Pickhardt. Police questioned Contasino about the mishap, but when Churchill told them 1t was un- aviodable and that he was crossing the street against traffic lights, the driver was released. %
 Churchills greatest concern was that reports of the accident might be exaggerated and cause undue alarm to my friends in England" The former chancellor was scheduled to speak at the Brooklyn Academy of Music tonight and Town Hall tomorrow night. These appearances necessarily will be can- celled together with his scheduled talks in Chicago Wednesday and Thursday. His lecture subject is ''The Destiny of the English Speak ing Peoples"

A case which is likely to decide the legal status of mint vending machines introduced into Water- bury by New Haven "concessionar- ies'' has been scheduled for trial next Wednesday morning. It is the case of William Mcfarland of 424 Willow street. Attorney John Mam- brino who petitioned this morning for another continuance informed Judge T. V. Meyer that he was preparing a defence on the strength of the fact that the supreme court of Connecticut has ruled that the machines are legitimate. The city of New Haven, however. where the battle was originally fought is said to have ruled them out. On the investment of nickel a person is assured of receiving package Of mint. If he is lucky in his invest ment may net him few extra tokens, which are supposedly re- tailed in trade. Some merchants in New Haven gave five cents in ex- change for each token, which made the experiment a gambling propo- sition.
 It is the alleged insistence of the New Haven promoters that thir machines have a legitimate right to be placed in stores here. Judge John F. McGrath and Judge T. ". Meyer have ruled gambling ma chimes being illegal and are oper- ated at the risk of the owners and the merchants In whose places of business they are exhibited.
 The confiscated machine is ex- pected to be presented in court Wednesday morning and demon- strated for the benefit of the court. Whether it's mint or money that one plays the machines will be the question for the court to decide.
 Stanley Tataryrnugz, Al, of 30 Scovill street is charged with keep ing liquor with intent to sell. His place of business was raided Satur- day afternoon by Patrolmen Fred Hickey and Patrick Moylan of the emergency squad. He will be tried Thursday morning.
 Ernest Hancock of Watertown was assessed $10 for operating without a license. He was involved in an automobile accident on Rob- bins street in which a machine driv- en by George P. Relyea of Oakville was damaged. When questioned by Patrolman McWeeney after the &C., cident Hancock was unable to show a license.

ton has been overrun and that more and more demands are being made on it daily due to the unem- rloyment conditions.
 The appropriation made by the freemen last May for charity work totalled $61,500. This has been ex- pended with several thousand ad- ditional. The months that are the hardest on the department are yet to come and it will take several thousand dollars to tide the de- partment over. Another thing that the department has to put up with is the fact that other municipali- ties are drawing on the local de- partment for persons whose legal residence is Naugatuck but are in other cities receiving aid.
