 BIG PRIZE MONEY
(By The Associated Press)

TORONTO Oct. B, --Red-hair ed Mrs. Pauline Clarke doesn't care whether she receives the stork derby fortune left by Char les Millar in an ironic will that bequested his brewery stock to prohibitionists and his Jockeys Club shares to haters of horse races.

 Dr. Ernest H. Gruening, direc- tor of the division, in report on the ratio of white men to white women said, there still are two and one-half times as many white men as white women in the Ter ritory."
 This figure is as nothing com pared to conditions at the turn of the century when thousands of miners joining the gold rush in vaded the territory. Then the comparable ratio. Nevada ranks second to Alaska with ratio of ratio of men to women was nine to one.

 No state in the nation has a 140.3 males per 100 females.
 "In direct opposition to this situation is that of the District of Columbia which has 90 males to every 100 females"

a comparatively easy victory for
Graves but the Brawley fans are
Loyalty backing MorrisSette to win.
McrriSSette recently returned TO
amateur boxing wars after a six
weeks layoff. He decided to make
q comeback for the sole purpose
o. defeating the dark destroyer
rom El Centre.
Since his decision TO return to
the ring Morrissette has trained
religiously, always looking forward
to his fight against Graves. For
the past week he has been work
ing out with Reno Fernandez II
San Diego and is reputed TO be IN
perfect condition.
The Morrissette that steps into
the ring against Graves tonight
will be a different fighter than
the one who battled four listless
rounds with Ken Holiday or the
Idorrissette that toyed with San
dCval in the first round of their
pout. He will be a determined
ughter, cautiously feeling his m2n,
covering up and waiting, waiting
for an opportunity to put the Ne
gro away Tor the full count.
If Graves fails to fight the same
type OF battle that he has shown
against other fighters MorrSsette
Will probably upset the applicant.
hCWeVer, if Graves starts fast,
throws in a few straight, hard
punches in the first Two rounds
he will K. o. Morrissette in the
third canto and take the middle
weight title of the valley.
Other bouts on the program
