ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 23.-Mrs. Jerome Hammer Dean still keeps a close eye on Old Dig
 The other day Dizzy failed to show up with the rest of the Card irais for lunch between morning and afternoon practices. So Mrs. Dean corralled the St. Louis trainer and sent him running to the club house for Dig.
 Hell probably be playing cards and drinking a bottle of beer for lunch. If I don't watch him he'll try to play ball again all afternoon with out anything to eat"

Mel Hurley rugged fisherman on the Norland, is going to have one gooi fling with his fists before the fishing season opens. He is matched in Fridays smoker with that speed ball punch tosser from Wrangell Jim Gleason.
 training quarters dope is that this match is well balanced, each man the sort that likes to mix and beth men boxing a killers gamc- which all sounds vicious in the nicer bridge circles, but listens good7 to ringside fans who don't nina ti.e crimson splotches cn their shit frLn

Webb won his fight by de- cision last smoker with Erickson but realizing what tough time be will have with the bigger man Er ickson in this comeback battle Webb solving the difficulties of infighting, Pat Webb has buckled down to ser ioa5 training These two men will not play for penny marbles this time
 Albert Brown of Haines and Sail or Hussey from the Haida will toss gloves in the first of the fistic ev- ents. If memory serves right, Illus sey has plenty of speed-and to add seasoning to the pot Brown de- cidedly does not like Hussey.
 In the wrestlers lineup, the head line bill is that dirty-playing clown Doe" Webb, trading snatches with Tiger" Gringwald who has been bragging around the mine that he will polish off Doc" Webb plenty"
 A Masked Marvel identity un- known, will grapple with Gene Flu stace, the blacksmith who still represents the fastest thing in the mat game in Juneau.

And he is just as fast as Muma and equally as clean. This bout will be popular with the fans.
 Advance sale of reserved seats has indicated that wrestling fans and boxing fans like the combina- tion of punches and groans.
 Tomorrow afternoon, beginning at 3:45, Walter Gaston, of the wrest- ler's club, will drive a car blind folded through Juneau streets, ac- companied by Roy Hoffman

tive be responsible for the care of
a pension applicant unless he or
she is willing to do so without du-
ress, also that in order to qualify
the applicant must not have any
real property other than the home
in which he or she lives and no
personal property exceeding $3.50
in value, except household goods
and personal effects. That the
State Department of Social Secur-
ity will be required to approve or

fly the applicant Immediately in
writing as the action taken and
state fully the cause in event of
denial.

This old world is of a peculiar
composition. 1t can be hkened I'M
to fruit cake minus the absolute
sweetness. Too much of it Is con-
ducive of belly aches, heart aches
and kindred inconvenience to hui
manity. Heart aches seemed to
have been major product issued
from the hopper of 1885 mill, and
the almost ever increasing grind,
goes on and on. No visible sur
cease from the rapine, murder and
destruction in Europe and Asia is
promised for the near future, and
whether Christian, Pagan or Mo-
hammedan, religious ideas and
training are subjugated to selfish
ness and greed. We, in America,
are all ''het" and agitated over
conditions abroad, as we should
be, yet, we fail to make the slight
est attempt at amelorating SER
ious conditions in our own back
yards. We made the long stride
from Washington to Peru, over the
heads of suffering blacks in the
southern part of America, seeking
to inculcate brotherly love and aft
lection into the hearts of those
peoples, while at home the black
man 'fhas no rights the southern
man is bound to respect" Will it
be different over there and away
over there in 1889? Will it be
different here in 1889? Years
come and years go, but mans in
humanity and prejudices go on
forever!
