MILES MURPHY WINS ANOTHER
 F|ST|C BATTLE
Is Given Decision in Match with Eddie Santry,
 Six Rounder

Miles Murphy, Juneau lighter, has won another match. The fight was on the night of August 3 and one account received in Juneau follows:
 Eddie Santry has strong enough right hand to bother Miles Mur- phy plenty but he might as well have put it in moth balls last night for all the good it did him. It was absolutely the only thing he had that was worth hill of beans and except for couple of brief flurries he didn't use it.
 AS a result he got for himself a very pretty shellacking from Mur- phy, an Irish-Indian from Alas ka, posssssor of a swell left hand, fairish punch and quite quan- tity of boxing skill. Murphy stood away and feinted the Wenatchee boy into any sort of an opening he wanted Santry obligingly fell for every stall and Murphy, with ob  vious enjoyment, popped him. He popped him in the first and last rounds and all the rounds in be- tween except the fourth when San try all of a sudden remembered he had a right hand and that it was a handy weapon for slugging.
 Forced Slugging
 So he crowded Murphy into a corner, swung with the right, then the left, then the right and the left and away they went. Three or four times the Santry right thud- ded against some portion of the Murphy anatomy and Murphy be- gan to slip. Then for some req son that you will have to figure out for yourself, MT. Santry went back to his ridiculous boxing at tack and took two more rounds of licking
 Murphy had it on Santry in every respect except punching. He left handed Santry silly, made him do all the leading and nimbly eluded his rushes and counter punched him. In the third Mur- phy started to use his right hand occasionally. He had Santry in a

bad way for a time and might have nailed him in the fourth had not Santry changed his tactics and forced little slugging He clipped Murphy so hard a couple of times that the Alaskan gave up knockout thought and con- tented himself with a decision.
 Fast 9th Round
 Santry waded out in the last round determined to force more slugging and he did but he was too far gone to carry the pace and Murphy gave him two for one and had him on the floor at the final bell Murphy won every round except the fourth.

ROOSEVELT TO ACT
ON AIR CORPS PAY
Recommendations Submitted by
War Department May Parallel
Those of Navy.

Within a short while President
Roosevelt will have before him the
recommendations of War Department
Board on the longtime controversy
over flight pay for the Air Corps This
report was submitted to Secretary of
War Dern last week.
While the recommendations were not
revealed. it is understood in Army
circles that they parallel closely the
conclusions reached by similar Navy
Department Board that no reduction
in the flight pay scale be made, but
If some reduction must be made, then
the cuts should apply only to officers
above the ranks of lieutenant colonel
OF Marines and commander of the
Navy.
President Roosevelt has been en-
powered by Congress to reduce or abol-
ish extra flight pay for both services.
Several weeks ago he directed the two
departments to make a study of the
problem embodying recommendations.
The Navy Department stood by its re-
port submitted at the last session of
Congress.
The War Department however, had
not considered the problem during the
recent Congress. A board, thereupon,
was appointed to make recommended
tions for guidance of Secretary Dern
and the President. This board which
has now reported, consists of Maj. Gen.
Robert E. Callan. assistant chief of
staff. Ga; Brig. Gen. Charles E. Kill

Plans Division, and Brig Gen. Oscar

day announced.

Lake Steal Ended.
From the Cleveland News.


Ending Of the Chicago water "steal"
will be hailed In Ohio and other lake
States as one Of the outstanding bene-
fits achieved by the allotment of Gov
ernment funds for public works.
After months~of delay and the sub
mission Of many plans, the Chicago
Sanitary District is to get S33,948,000
in P. w. A. funds a combined loan
and grant in addition to s8'ooo,oOo al
ready allowed. The cost of the entire
sewerage project which the Supreme
Court has ordered Chicago to complete
by 1898, so that its daily intake of wa
ter from Lake Michigan shall not ex-
ceed 500 cubic feet per second, is estl-
mated at S120000000. The Sizeable
loan from the Government will enable
the CITY, in bad financial straits, to go
ahead with its construction program for
two and a half years; at the end of
that time, no doubt, it can proceed under
its own power.
Though Chicago in the past has been
extremely Indifferent to the just plant
of the lake States, it now seems pretty
much in earnest in its rehabilitation
program. After years Of litigation, it
recognizes that it may no longer rob
the other lake ports. Cleveland among
them, by using lake water to wash
away its sewage. But the financial
angle has interfered. The city didn't
have the money and couldn't sell its
bonds.
Government intervention in this sit
uation, which is of vital interest to a
large group of States, comes at crit
ical juncture. 1t would seem to guar
antee the amicable settlement of a
question which has not only embroiled
number of American communities,
but has dragged Canada in, as we'll
