BERLIN, Nov. II. (UP)-The NaZl
press warned Belgium today against
cooperating with the British block
ade and announced that German
warships we're going to put an end
to secret shipments of timber to
Great Britain from certain Baltic
states.
Voelkischer Beogachter, the NaZi
organ, said Germany henceforth
must convince herself that neutral
cargces we're not destined for Brit

for timber cargoes which in recent
weeks have, in a striking manner
and in great quantities, been going
from the Baltic to neutral countries
where they have never gone be-

Bone-crushers are going to stage a match at the Elks Hall on next week, Thursday night, January 26, according to Uvall D. Moody, who is matchmaker.
 There are several mat artists in Juneau including Billy Spendloye, Karl Omdahl and of course, Doc Webb.
 Spendlove reports he has wrestled in the States and Canada, also the Hawaiian Islands. He has held the Montana State title twice and was last defeated for the title on Febru- ary IT, last year. He is known on the mat as the Little Giant and will engage in matches here.
 Omdahl is known as Killer Karl. He is built on the rugged order, is strong as a bull, can take punish ment and also hand it cue, He is scheduled to meet Spendlove next Thursday night. The match will be billed as the main-eventer.
 Doc Webb, who has been seen in action here before, is known as the man who uses the toughest tactics to down his man although some of his tricks make it unfair. His op- ponent has not yet been picked but whoever he is, will have to throw the dirt, the same as Doc.

RA55LE BOUTS DRAW CROWD,
 ELk5' MEETING
''Ev" NoweII Voted Most Popular Mat Artist in

Elks turned out strong last night for Legislators Night at the regular weekly meeting of the lodge followed by two bouts of wrestling, music and refreshments.
 Highlight of the party meeting was registered when the big and handsome travelling man, "Ev" Now ell, took on two wrestlers and the referee at the height of the first mat mix between Doc" Webb and Karl Omdahl.
 Doc" Webb (always clowning) grabbed "Ev'' by the hair and asked him why he didn't put his two cents worth of boo into the ring-and "Ev' promptly did. No one wants to question the authenticity of the performance. It was worth seeing.
 Webb and Omdahl fought to a draw, while in the nightcap. Tiger Jack Morrison appeared for the first time in two years in Juneau ring and took on recently arrived Billy Spendlove who won a fast moving bout in the fourth round with a Boston Crab hold that came awfully close to breaking Jacks many times broken ribs.
 The bouts were announced as pre- liminary to a smoker scheduled soon.
 Marian Borders played and sang number of entertaining songs after beer and food had been served.

TWO GAMES BASKETBALL
 ON TONIGHT
Fans 10 See First Mixes in Several Days as Loop
 Reopens Play

Referee Bud Foster will have a cranberry merchants evening to- night in the high school gymnasium when he toots his whistle for a doubleheader of basketball opening the season again after several days layoff
 The first game of the evening, beginning at 7:30, is between the fast breaking Elks five and the strong passing Henning attackers, both teams playing their first game of the second half.
 Jennings troupe ended the first half far down the list, but showed new faces and new talent in the last few games that make them as dangerous a team as there is in the loop.
 In tonight's meeting of these two well matched teams, watch the Elks forward, Dick May, if you haven't seen that smooth working lad in action before-ard because the sub JtCJ Ol OllClloC- Cdllo OO iiiiio VliC matter of defense, watch this Hen ming guard, Pope, a boy who is awfully hard to get by.
 That one game would seem enough for fans expecting interesting ball, but add up the attractions of that second game between the Bremen and the Haida and you have another worthwhile picture.
 The Fire men haven't lost a mix this season. They have an aggrega- tion of men who are serious ball hawkers, fast and accurate in their shooting. The Haida has club with never licked spirit that makes them dangerous in any scoring bracket.
 For smooth working forwards, watch the Hautala brothers in the Bremen lineup, and for sweet line of offense, keep your eyes on this colored boy, Love, big Naggy, and ball juggler Waldron for the Coast Guarders.
 Ed Metzgar, tallest man in the loop, playing the pivot post for the Bremen, is going to have his work cut out for him under the basket with this man Naggy.

 The Navy Department ultimately concluded that nothing could be done about it, and that no great harm had been done anyway. and perhaps some good.

SEATTLE, Jan. l9.-Through 30 years or more as (Great Northern) railroad conductors, John Scott, 65, and Edward Osborn, 66, cherished an ambition to punch the daylights out of an eight-foot, 30-day round trip ticket.
 All their lives. they moaned. they'd merely punched out a little dab here or little dab there, but nothing big. Nothing colossal. Just dabs And their "punchin' hands itched.
 So when they retired recently, the boys at the King Street station fixed up their dream ticket.n
 Get your punch out, John," Ed said. We've got some real work to do. I'll start at this end and punch backward"
 Conductor Scott grinned.
 I'm at Seattle" he said, his punch nipping into the green bank note paper. I'm at Spokane. I'm at Fargo. I'm in St. Paul. I just punched out a stop over at Chi cago."
