5 a ] MACKWINS FROM COLLIER BY K. 0 IN THIRD ROUND Seattle Fighter Takes Meas- ure of Juneau Favorite at Legion'Smoker Freddy Mack, of Seattle, knocked out Joe Collier of Juneau in th third round of the scheduled rounl main event of the Ameri- can Legion smoker at A. B, Hall last night. It was a smashing right local boy for the count. Only the bell saved Coliier in the preceding round. After a rather tame opening session, with both ighters putting in most of their time getting acquainted, Collier landed a few blows to Mack's face and was then about)through for the evening. Just as the bell sound- ed the end of the round Mack ung a vicious cross-cut to Joe's chin with his right and it would have been all over then and there but for the friendly gong. End Is Surprise Most of the fans had looked for a closer battle between the two veterans, and its early ending came 25 a surprise. 'Collier outweighed his opponent 10 pounds and was reported to have been in splendid 4., condition before the fight, but his punches seemed to lack steam. Mack was cool and confident and there was power behind his blows. » It was the second time that the men had met in the ring, Mack winning by a knockout in the first round of a bout in Ketchikan a few years ago. Collier’s popularity with Juneau fans was again testified to by the cheering that greeted him and fol- - lowed him throughout the brief contest. Nelson Beats “Dynamite” ‘The best scrap of the evening was staged by Sammy Nelson of Juneau and “Dynamite” Lawrence of Hoonah. Nelson won by a good margin but he had to watch his step all the way for the game youngster from out of town was ever dangerous. Sammy held the edge in all six rounds. He landed » many more blows than did his op- ponent but Dynamite’s good con- dition helped him stand a large amount of punishment. These * youngsters did no stalling at any time and gave the fair sized crowd present their money’s worth. Billy James, another lad from Hoonah, with a 20-pound weight advantage, was too much for Jack Sharkey of Juneau and won the decision in the four-round open- ing event of the program. Yet it was a fairly close battle and Shar- key proved he was a game fighter. Heward Wins by K. O. Y [ » The second event was short and sweet. Kid Howard of Anchor- ¢ age and Jimmy Young of Haines, were billed to go six rounds, but *'vthe battle was scarcely two minutes old when Howard forced Young to . short jabs, a right hook that glanced off and closed Young's eye being the finishing touch. Jim- my collapsed and Howard was giv- en the decision. It was a tech- ¥ ®nical knockout. Harry Sperling refereed the first two bouts and Billy Frank the oth- er two events. The judges were Y’ E. C. Adams and Phil Jollie. Frank A. Metcalf acted as announcer. —————t——— SPECTALIZED KADIO SERVICE Pert Whitfield, Phone 373 ao [+ ~ to the jaw that floored the| the ropes with a series of peppery YANKEES TAKE DOUBLEHEADER FROM CHAMPS Five Home Runs Made in Afternoon Game Played Monday PHILADELPHIA, Penn., Sept. 8. —A bombardment of five home runs that gave the New York Yankees a 9 to 4 decision over the Philadelphia Athletics in the afternoon game Monday allowed the Yankees to sweep a double |header with the world champions.
