 TONS OF MAIL IN JULY

JUNEAU, Aug. g - Approximat- ely three tons of airmail have been flown over the Seattle-Juneau route of the Alaska Clipper during the past first full month of operation in the month of July, figures released here reveal.
 On the first flight with first-cov- CT collectors erowding the mail bags with their letters, $50 pounds were carried, but normal mail flights since have fallen but little below that poundage figure, one flight since having totaled 518 pounds of mail.
 The effect of PAA's new Juneau Seattle service on it's Juneau-Fair- banks service has been to send that routes poundage to a record high of 3,S50 pounds for the month of July, topping by a wide margin, the 2,8OO-pound one-month record for last year.

M(Cann Battles Siika Kid Tonight in Main Event
 at A. B. Rink Here

The title of Lou Novos, the Sitka Kid, will be at stake tonight when welter champ Billy McCann goes into the ring against the visitor in the final event on tonight's box ing card in the A. B. Rink.
 Weighing in this afternoon, Lovos hit the scales at 160, and McCann tipped the beam at 1858.
 Little is known here of the Sitka slugger, but reports have it he is a strong fighter and McCann will have to box him to win. Lovos has fought close to thirty fights in Sitka and it is understood he has lost but one, decision when he recently fought in the heavy class.
 On the streets, it appears there is more interest in this bout than tthere has been in many months of Juneau ring chatter. The doors, open tonight at ' o'clock, should see a long procession of fans before the timer, Jack Wilson, hits the gong for the final bout at o'clock.
 Promoter Slugger Weaver, who hasn't had an easy row to hoe in building up local interest again,
