and working each other roughly in the clinches.
 Near Collapse
 After the sixth round was over, Nelson, on the ropes, suddenly col lapsed and referee Wayne Johnson caught him, and carried him to his corner.
 A crowd of Nelson supporters sWarmed into the ring, Sammy screaming with pain from shat tered bridge work in his front teeth. Some fans yelled for a doc ter. Two schoolboys ran wildly about screaming for a dentist and somco one kept continually shouting above the bedlam, Give Him Air!''
 AS Nelson was carried from the ring, he fought weakly back and screamed T don't want to give up! I don't want to give up! Hell, no!''
 But friends of Sammy say he will not fight again.
 pr. John Geyer. in the audience, was called to attend Nelson He removed Nelson's battered te e { h from his torn gums and Nelson "came right around"
 Nelson, like a good sport, declared afterwards: T underestimated Me Cam. I overestimated myself-and don't let anybody tell you that Me Cam can't hit!"
 Fans Cheer
 In the semi-final, the crowd was no end displeased when they found Anderson Rogers, colored boy off the Haida, had to go with the ship to Yakutat and couldn't appear in the fight, but when substitute na- tive boy Austin Brown stepped off a seine boat without training and fought Jack Trambitas to popular draw, the fans cheered.
 Brown, young boxer who has come a long way since he showed here two or three years ago for the first time, fought crouching style of boxing that Trambitas was pug zled with.
 In turn, Brown frequently threw hard rights that he apparently did mt know he had two years ago. AL though he was dead tired at the end of the six rounds in his weak ened condition, he gave Trambitas pause to consider several times dur ing the fight, stopped his fancy footwork and tied up his punches neatly, catching them frequently on both gloves and cooly shooting punches in return.
 Is Punching Bag
 In the Larry Trambitas- Seattle Slugger fight, the slugger, whose name in Cyril Smith, turned out to be good punching bag for Trambitas. Smith couldn't handle his feet, and couldn't protect him. self from Larry's hammer shots.

y0RN w. TROY AGREES WITH GOV. GRUENING
 REFERENDUM FA(TS

With 40 years residence in the Territory and six years as Gov Cinor of Alaska to draw upon, John w. Troy yesterday expressed his views on the Referendum issue and particularly on the three press re- leases made by Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing covering taxation and employ ment in the liquor industry.
 q agree with the facts as pre- scnted by Gov. Gruening's press releases. For years I have opposed government competition with pri- vate business in the Territory. zee no justification whatsoever for the Territory to go into the whole sailing and retailing of, liquor. It would not be for the best interests of Alaska as I see it.

 NELSON
Terrific Gfddge Fight Ends as Crowd Sees Wild
 SIugfest

A packed house last night saw 6 wild and bitter battle in the Elks Hall smoker headliner between Billy McCann and sammy Nelson-a bat tie that ended in a technical kayo victory for McCann at the end of the sixth round when Nelson col lapsed with the pain of shattered teeth and was carried to his cor ner
 In the semi-final, Jack Tram bitas and native boy Austin Brown battled wits to a popular draw.
 Larry Trambitas slapped Cyril Smith Seattle Slugger around the ring for five rounds until Smiths seconds threw in the towel.
 In the opener, Kenny Traitor, scheduled to go four rounds with Gene Lee, hammered that boy out of the picture by the towel route in the third round.
 Hatred Fight
 But folks, that McCann- Nelson bout was the most terrific battle of hatred ever seen in Juneau rings, according to oldtimers.
 Nelson, typically. had built up for himself an intense dislike for McCann, and McCann, in turn, na- turally enough shared no love or respect for Sammy when they climbed into the ring together.
 Dopesters downtown who said Sammy could come back, that Sam my was too tough for McCann, and that mild hammered McCann could mt hit, had the biggest surprise of the night.
 From. the opening gun, it was McCann's fight. He was too fast for Nelson.
 When the opening bell sounded, both McCann and Nelson rushed each other and began six rounds of the fiercest boxing one could see anywhere.
 McCarn Draws Blood
 A few seconds after the round had opened, McCann opened Nel- sons left eye, and in the second round, the eye was pouring blood and after taking the battering of several left crosses and hooks, took straight right smash on the nose as the bell sounded-which inci- dentally sounded one full minute ahead of time, with timer Phil Gordon getting balled up on his watch
 In the third round, Nelson and McCann came out as wild as before and stood toe to toe, throwing punches as hard as they could, trading straight lefts and working the body in the clincheS.
 Nelson Gets Barrage
 When the fourth round opened, Nelson ran into hard lefts and rights time and again as McCann kept carrying the fight to him. Nelson began to droop on the ropes, either feigning or in actuality weary and worn, and would suddenly come off the ropes with diving straight left, but McCann. determined to get even" came right on in, roll ing the left and delivering a. more punishing punch of his own.
 The fifth and the sixth were much the same, both fighters swinging for all they were worth

Not long ago a Tacoma police

He found Spokane police most

He deliberately tested out his
Spokane brother officers on both
trips through the city. He switched
his headlights to the high beam.
Both times he was stopped by
different officers and warned
politely:
we drive on the low beam in
Spokane"
That suggests that the same
thing can be done In Tacoma
good effect. Motorists driving In
Tacoma are VIGOROUSLY careless
about glazing headlights: in the
suburbs many are worse than rude

the other fellow dims his.
