M((ANN-kID BOUT COMES
 OUT DRAW
New Ring Face to Appear Here : He May Be
 Real Joe Louis

Billy M c ann, outreached and outweighed, fought a whale of a boxing battle last night in the A. B. Rink to earn a draw from the highly touted Sitka Kid, Lou Lo- vos, in bout for the Kids unof- ficial mid weig ht crown for Southeast Alaska
 At the end of ten gruelling rounds, McCann, half crouched, was still hammering beneath the Kids guard and delivering punishing body blows, but taking constant jarring from short jabbing lefts and jabbing rights that the Kid, with his long reach, found easy to shoot.
 Tough Fight
 It was difficult fight for both men. The Kid was much taller, and found it hard to throw straight punch. He was constantly shooting his losses down on McCann's head and doing little damage. He really hurt McCann but twice, once with a straight right and once with straight left that McCann rushed into

towel after the end of the third round in a scheduled four round go with Larry Trambitas.
 Powers, who hasn't fought for six or eight years, but probably just couldn't stand the temptation of being asked to fight last night, was in no shape for battle, but for half round, he looked like the really coming battler he was formerly.
 Without single day of training, and with a half dozen bad boils on his right forearm bandaged up, he came out in the first canto punch ing and weaving in fancy style that had Trambittas bothered.
 Near the end Of the first round, however, Trambittas hit Powers and lurt him with strong right cross to the jaw.
 From there on, Powers couldn't jtand the gaff enough to produce real attack, and finally, at the end U UIlt JIlllQ lOlllu, PuliCQ uPt uild lnable to defend his face at all, he miled ruefully and little punchy 1t referee Johnny Harris and ad- mitted he had enough.
 Crisco Smeared
 Jack Trambitas took decision n the semi-final from CCC boy Joe Crisco, both supposedly fighting at 16O pounds, but Crisco looked very much heavier.
 Crisco fought football type bout, rushing his man continually, but ,ouldn't do much more than absorb punishment.
 Trambitas floored Crisco in the fourth round with a powerhouSe right cross, and did most of the damage, earning the decision hand fly.
 Crisco was a substitute for Hank Broulette.
 COlOred Challenger
 During the middle Of the fight card, Slugger Weaver introduced a

and too short from the ground up to attack the Kids face, was pre- vented from getting in a greater of blows, but his attack on the Kids heart and midsection was persistent and damaging, although twice he brought blood from the visitors nose.
 Odd Draw
 Fans seemed to think McCann won the fight. The writer thought so, too, and thought the Kid was riding every chance he had in the last five rounds, although the judges, who scored the actual punches, found the Kids jabbing attack gave him the most blows.
 Altogether, a crowded hall saw a good smoker.
 Flyweighters
 The opening flyweight bout be- tween Kenny Traitor and Tommy Valero, in which the latter got a decision, started the evening with a banging little slugfest.
 Traitor was knocked down twice, once in the second and also in the fourth. He put up game fight, but Vallero was to oheavy, and too strong puncher.
 runny rInIsh
 The second prelim ended as com- ically as any fight seen here, with Jean Lee, young 110 pounder, win ming from Filipino lad Fidel Cor tez, 107 pounder, in the fourth round when Cortex amazed everyone by sitting down in the ring and calling the fight off.
 He had suddenly been taken with 3 cramp in his right leg below the knee and couldn't move.
 Powers Lacks It
 In a special event, fans saw one-time headliner Eddie Powers, at one time one of the classiest fighters in the fight game on the Pacific Coast, throw in his own

If you're busy fome-maker, you
Just can't have too many aprons!
Pattern 200, SO skillfuly designed
by Claire Tilden, Is both protective
and attractive. Best of all, it's an
amazingly simple style to make if
you follow the STEP by-step direc-
tons of the accompanying Sewing
Guide. That long panel down the
front takes no time at all to stitch
straight down-and gives nicely fit
ting lines to the whole garment.
Pointed waist-seams at either side
of the panel result in smoth lines
through the waist, and allow for
extra skirt flare too. Now turn to
the back to see the smart one-piece
treatment of the back bodice-an
arrangement that not only makes
the apron easier to cut out. but
keeps your straps from slipping as
well. For gay trim, do add either
ric-rac or ruffling along the pointed
waiStseams and the armholes. And
for even more color you might have
the entire top and the tie in bril-
liant contrast. Order this useful
pattern today, buy a few yards of
bright, CHEEKY cotton, and sew up
two or three gays aprons so you'll
always have generous supply on
hand.
Pattern 209 is cut in sizes small
(32-3D, medium (36-38) and large
(40-42). Small size requires 2 la
yards IS inch fabric and 3K yards
ruffling or 37s yards ric-rac.
Send FIFTEEN CENTS (l5c) in
coins for this pattern. WRITE
CLEARLY SIZE, NAME. ADDRESS
AND STYLE NUMBER.

THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, is

sets the table with the simple
pottery set. No elaborate back
drop until the cooking merits it.
On the kitchen table, she lines up
her will-needs, all Of the platters
and serving dishes. In the refrig-
orator, ready for exhibition, go the
relish dish, the butter dish, the
salads. The coffee is made, the
Ice cubes are out, the vegetables
waiting and peeled.
BY Ave thirty, everything is
ready to pull the switch. BY the
time the guests arrive, she Is sit
ting gracefully on the divan, idly
swinging leg.
Some time or other and We
never know quite when, for Ber-
tie is very clever about her exit
she calmly pulls the switch. The
ten-minute vegetables go into
boiling water. The roast and
baked potatoes come out Of the
oven. The rolls pop in. The ice
water, relish dish, salad and butt
ter whisk to the table. The vege-
tables, roast, potatoes and rolls
slide into the serving dishes. Ber-
tie takes q deep breath, and
checks over the table for any
missing parts in this carefully
calculated puzzle. Then she walks
slowly into the living room, and
casually lets It be known around
that dinner is on the table.
HERE ARE
HER HINTS
BERTHE isn't so SNUG about it.,
though, as you might think. She
just repeats that it's a matter of
timing, and lays down the follow
ing rules for the help Of her sis
ter brides.
DON'T:
l. Ask too many or too partio-
llar guests.
2. Plan too many other activities
for the day
3. Tackle any fancy dishes which
you haven't previously practiced.
4. Arrange menu which re-
quires too much last minute atten-
ton.
S. Use your very best equipment
for the first venture.
DO:
/. Plan your time with railroad
precision.
2. Have a few standard and &C.
ceptable menus on hand.
3. Remember the extras" which
add festivity.
4. Remember the final checkup.
S. Act as though there was moth
ing to it, and this, says BERTHE, is
hardest Of all.

Don't think that you have done
your duty so far as your small
daughters posture is concerned when
you have told her to stand up
straight and hold her shoulders
back.
Such advice is fine as far as it
goes. But it doesn't go far enough.
If your child takes it literally and
does not get further instruction on
the subject, she's likely to develop
a neat case of sway-back. In other
words, she'll have a hollow in the
center of her backbone that will be
just as unattractive as slumping
shoulders and a hollow chested look.
BY all means encourage her to
stand erect with weight on both feet
not first on one leg, then on the
other. Tell her that shoulders should
be square but not held back stiffly.
Most Importantly, show her how to
stand with her backbone in as
straight line as possible so that her
stomach Is quite fiat and hips do not
stick out behind.
Here's posture exercise which
you can do together. 1t won't do
you any harm, even though your
carriage is perfect. And 1t will do
your child lot of good.
