from-we have to see women
about their homes and at social
function in dresses we have sold
them. We want to be proud of

New faces will be seen in the wrestling ring next Monday night at the Elks Hall when local mat artists pair off in pew sort of en- tertainment from the squared circle to the peanut-tossing bleacher fan.
 Second bout on the card, but probable highlight of the evening will be a wrestler vs boxer contest, and not one boxer, but two boxers. Walter Gaston will take on two boxers, one at time, and has guar anteed to throw both of them with in 30 minutes.
 In the main event, the clever clown, Doc Webb, will throw new hold at Red Davis, CCC champion. Docs new hold is the unconscious lock. which sounds bad-but then Red Davis is supposed to be bad boy, so the setup looks good
 Opener of the evening will be Bill Walthers and Gene Eustace at around 165 pounds apiece, two fast men, Eustace bit faster, Walthers a bit more schooled in ring science.
 Eustace is the lad who kicked in a pair of Gordon Muma's ribs last ring fest. Walthers is well known in Juneau.
