BIC FIGHT SCHEDULED
 IN JUNEAU
MajCher to Meet Rasmus-
 sen al Ball Park Here on June F

The long awaited opportunity to see Majcher fight worthy oppon- ent is soon to become a reality. On June 12 at 7:30 p. m. in the Juneau Firemans Baseball Park, a fight card is being arranged which will give the people of this vicinity the privilege of seing couple of boys fighting against each other worthy of the main attraction at Madison Square Gardens in New York City.
 Hank" Majcher who has fought and beaten a lot of the boys now getting top billing all over the country is matched with Red" l Rasmussen, a Coast Guardsman who should be rated with the first five in the country at his weight. It is a shame that the carrot topped lad was denied an opportunity to fight more as professional for while still in his teens he won the Pacific Coast Golden Gloves Cham pionship. This was no mean feat as some of the boys he beat to win that coveted honor are now nation ally famous and getting a lot of for their efforts in the circle.
 Rasmussen who is now 20 years old, is a fine example of clean liy- ing and religious training Proof of that is the right hand smash Maj cher exploded against his chin in their first encounter, although it knocked him to the canvas, he arose a count and kept fighting as if nothing had happened.
 Both contestants have learned a let from their previous encounter and are seeking to wipe from the records the only mar on an other wise perfect slate, since they have been members of the Armed Forces.
 The Sergeant from Juneau has had to take lot of chiding from the people who thought he was in- and he vows to prove to them that they were not wrong in him so. He promises to see to 1t that the welterWeight. cham of Alaska will stay in the
