The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-09-10

pose of annexing the middleweight title of Alaska that Miles claims lightfuny. Murphy has trimmed everything on the local fistic hor- izon in his weight class and is en- titled 10 be termed the champion os the big little fellows.
 Gordon doesn't claim to be the champ of anything just now. But his ambition is not limited to the Territory. He has fought and won from some of the best men that the Pacific Coast has pro- duced at his weight, and, since he's only 19 years old, there's time yet for him to go places in the ring.
 A Weaving Fighter
 In the ring, Gordon is of the weaving bobbing style that fash ions it's tactics after the old mas ter-Jack Dempsey. Like that great battler, Gordon is an elusive target to shoot at, and it always On the aggressive, shooting wick ed-looking punches from all points of the compass.
 That brings us back to Murphy's capacity to soak in some of these blows, and still keep coming. Miles has shown that he can hold his own with the boxers whose blows aren't particularly dangerous. Jimmy Moore is the hardest hit ter Murphy has met, and although he took a decision or two from Jimmy, Moore had him looking worried in their last battle. Cor con hits harder than Moore did at that time.
 Miles Is Better
 Miles, however, is a better ring general, a cleverer boxer and z much improved athlete since thos< days, some two years ago. H. is huskier, hits harder himself and keeps himself in lot better physical condition. Right now he in the best shape he has ever beer end that ought to mean wholt lot.
 He ought to at least hold hi. own with Gordon as boxer May be, he'll have a slight edge. Bu' is will be the punch that decides tonight's battle that, and the ability to soak up some punish ment.
 Richmond Wants Revenge Young Richmond, who fights Graney Hulse in the semi -windup expects to get full revenge for his kayo by Graney on July 4th, last Richmond was leading on points until he got careless and Hulse p,astered a dream punch on his chin that ended the battle rath- CT unexpectedly.
 Hulse isn't the finished boxer that Richmond is, but he is just as hard hitter and possibly has quicker delivery and that often spells the difference between los ing and winning.
 Another Murphy Shows Eddie Murphy, younger brothel of Miles, makes his debut m th' ring this evening against Slug ger" Weaver. He'll have to b. good to stay the limit with Weave, who is rated as one of the class fest boxers ever to show his ware here. Eddie is touted highly HI has been working out with Mile and is said to have given his oldel brother all he wanted on more than one occasion.
 George Popovich, who won hi. spurs n Seattle boxing shows, ane Sammy Nelson, are on edge fol their four-round go. Sammy IS slow starter and George has chance if he'll start at top speed Sam is a willing lad, however, ant if George is inclined to mix 1t up the fans are due to see some req scrapping in this event.
