, A 20-acre plot atop the hill side overlooking Palmer on the Wasilla highway, which was of fered by Leo Lucas as possible site for an Alaska Native Ser vice hospital here, was very favorably reported upon by Don Foster and Ralph Mize, ANS of ficials, when they visited the Valley last Tuesday.
 MT. Foster was particularly impressed with the view of mountains and Valley, as seen from the proposed site, and with it's proximity to the downtown section of Palmer. He surveyed the ground thoroughly, taking number of pictures and request ing pertinent information as to supply sources of fuel, water and light.
 When the ANS head left Pal mer Tuesday at noon, he told a delegation of Chamber of Com nerce representative that Pal ner's chances for securing the desired hospital were many imes greater than they were this morning."
 MT. Foster, later that day, told Anchorage Chamber of Com nerce representatives tn a all .hree sites offered as a possible ocation within that city were unsatisfactory. The suggested olots were too small, he said, commenting upon Palmer's offer ,f 20 acres, which he declared m attractive and tempting of fer"
 The Palmer site fits many other requirements outlined by ANS, in it's proximity to water and sewer lines and to transpor- ,ation and communication facili- 3ies.
 { MT. Foster and Mir. Mize lack ed the time to visit sites offered n the Wasilla area on Tuesday, put the ANS chief promised to inspect locations there upon his 'eturn to the territory in June. He plans a trip Outside then, and will motor back over the Alaska Highway, stopping in Wasilla en .'oute.
 Final recommendations for a hospital site must be in the hands of Department of Interior of sicials by June of this year, MT. Foster said. He intimated it was possible a Congressional commit zee will make an on-the-spot sur Vey before final decision in the natter is announced.

Bonds Sold lnCampaiign

A total of 32 bonds had been issued, and cash and bond pledges in the amount of $6,O1O had been received by 5 o'clock last Tuesday, it was reported by C. w. Peters and w. C. Mau at the meeting of the hospitals board of directors.
 MT. Mau, drive chairman, said many captains still were unre- ported in the drive, and he felt that the total receipts would climb considerably higher as soon as all pledges and contribu- tions are received.
 Ii was announced that there
 would be a meeting of solici-
 tors and the board of directors
 in the basement of the Luth-
 eran. church on Friday of this
 week. in order 10 iron out any
 problems facing the group.
 Jack Maze declared there was a general misunderstanding con corning the use of the bonds as payment on a hospital bill. It was emphasized that purchase of a hospital bond does not give the bonds purchaser the right to use the bond as cash in the payment of a bill.
 The board discussed plans to secure title to all the land in the block selected as the site for the future hospital. The Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corpora tion's offer to give two acres of ground for the site does not in- clude all of the land in the chosen block, which contains IS lots rather than 12.
 MT. Peters was instructed to discuss the matter with the ARRC and to find out how the hospital could obtain title to the remaining six lots in the selected block.
 Clyde King reported that the hospital had been offered an op- portunity to purchase two boil CTS located in a building at Elk lutna school. All radiators were included in the offer, which named a low figure for hospital purchase only.
 The matter was referred to the building committee by MT. Mau, who conducted the meeting in the absence of Walter Huntley. MT. Mau asked the building com- mittee to inspect the boilers and to bring a report and recommen- dations to the next regular board meeting.

Ring Ban Until April !
Before Illinois Board
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CHICAGO, Mar. 22.-The Illinois
Athletic Commission meets today to
ponder suspension of professional
boxing in the State until April 7.
Gov. Dwight Green requested the
ban to allow time for certain
remedial and precautionary meas
ures" to be taken. His suggestion
climaxed Investigations into the
ring fatality of Boxer Sam Baroudi
February 20 in Chicago Stadium. !
However, Attorney General George
Barrett has advised the Commission
thai such a shutdown of pro boxing
would be illegal. Barrett's decision
was prompted by plea from pro-
motsEs. Irving Kovin and Mitchell
Sardler, who had scheduled a
Chicago bous March 81 between
welterweignt champion Ray Sugar
Robinson and George Abrams. The
promoters threatened court redress
should the ban be placed.
Threat Of legal action apparently
was lifted today as the Commission
met. The Robinson Abrams fight
had been postponed. Kovin an
nounced the postponement last
night at the request of Robinson
who said he had injured his hand
in Buffalo IN. - bout with Henry
Brimm last week.
Koyin said $4,000 in advance

jackson Is Favorite
Over Vigeant Tonight
In Turner'S Battle

Stonewall jackson, although he
has outgrown the lucky green box
ing trunks in which he never lost
a fight, figures as the favorite for
tonight's 10-round main event at
Turner's Arena. Stonewall, 19-year-
old District of Columbia colored
welterweight, tangles with frankie
Vigeant of Hartford, Conn.
Vigeant, a newcomer to Washing
ton, had only a $3.50 1947 record
after not losing a bout the year be-
fore. He was in with some fair
fighters, including Beau Jack, to
whom he dropped a 10-round deci-
sion last December. He also tangled
three times with Tony Falco, a
fairly well known name among the
welterweights, winning two and
drawing the other.
Stonewall, a busy little ringman
who tosses leather constantly, has
been winning regularly. He's lost
twice in his Is pro outings, and a
goodly percentage of his wins have
been by knockouts. His most recent
win was over Charley Bennett, a
local rival, while others on his list
of victims are Willie Cheatum, Pat
Demers, John Johniken and Harold
Jackson. The Demers and jackson
bouts were won by kayoes.
Sam jefferson, a stablemate OF
Stonewall, takes on Johnny Finazzo
in one, of the supporting f1ve-round-
ers. Jefferson also has been win
ming regularly recently. Another

Geib.s Triumph at BrookIond
Ends D. c. Pin LOSING Streak
By Ben McAlwee

A three-month losing streak In
major tournament competition was
at an end today for Washington
bowlers after El Geib's sparkling
victory in the eighth annual Ma
tional Capital Open held at Brook
land Recreation yesterday with a
10-game score of 1894.
In posting five-game sets Of 706
and 688 to win top prize of 5000, the
Mapledge Pin team star of the
Major District League beat out Paul
Jarman by II pins as the Winn's
Motors ace made a great stab at
victory with sets of TIT and 666 for
a 1888 count, Jarman won 500.
1t was the second big triumph of
the season for Geib who won $500
top prize in the inaugural John S.
Blick event at Atlanta, Ga, last
December. Geib's victory yesterday
was the first for District bowler
since Moe Meade won the Newport
News Open just before Christmas.
With games of 1876, 134, 143, 161
and 143 for 706, Geib stood fifth at
the end of the first block. But he
jumped into the lead with a III to
start the second block and with final
strings Of 122, 153, 122 and 120 for
688 never relinquished the lead.
Jarman finished both sets with some
terrific pinspilling but two low
middle games in both blocks proved
costly. His first five strings were
1873, 1855, l09, 1853 and ISL and his
last five, 100, 119, 90, 165 and 154.
Lee Seim of Baltimore. in finish
ing third with 1874, led the first
block with TAO. His 1873. lat, 172,
160 and 1913 made up the highest
five-game set bowled here this sea-
son.
Joe Rabel of Portsmouth, Va, re-
cent winner of the Virginia State
Open, was fourth with 1878. His
sets we're 693 and $50. Tony Petro of
Baltimore was fifth with sets of
ITO and 634 for 1,345. Dan Cuth-
bert Of Baltimore Tailed 671 and
665 to land sixth with 1886.

the first block. with ia, fell to 619
Evening star., 1948-03-22

Probably the prize holdover Is
Joe Hossick at third. He hit 1923
last year, and Staff modestly claims
he's the best third sacker in college
circles hereabout. Tex Carter, a
pinch hitter last year, is another
prominent holdover who'll play reg
ularly this time.
Coach OTIS zahn, handling G.
W.'s baseball squad for the first
time, hasn't been able to get a
real line on his prospects. Weather
has held up many drills, as has the
poor condition of the diamond near
the Lincoln Memorial the Colonials
are using. He had an intrasquad
game the other day. and 1t ended
10 after six innings. Otis still
doesn't know whether the pitching
was tight or the hitting poor.

Don Druckenmiller, catcher last
year, Is back and looking good
enough to be used anywhere. Joe
Wapinsky and Corky Krikorian are
other good catchers, so Don either
will play in the outfield or at first
Another possibility at first is Hank
Bartelloni, a vet of the field
no-hit variety. Other prominent in
field candidates are Joe Famulette
who hit 1850 in 1947, and who will
take over third: Tony Caruso, at Sec
ond, and Chet Pietras, a newcomer
at short, who's showing himself as
a fair hitter and very fast afoot.

draw capacity crowd of more than
Is, 900.
One Western Champ Out.
The Chicago team, which draws
its talent from a broad area both
East and West of the Mississippi
River, is favored to extend its long
time dominance. The Westerners
have won IL of the previous meet
ings, lost five and tied three.
The Eastern squad is picked prin-
cipally from the East Coast, but
boasts Puerto Rican representation
Both squads will have one of their
champions missing from the lineups
The West will be without the
services of Melvin Barber, Des
Moines bantamweight, who is kept
at home by his business. His place
probably will be taken by Ken Men
