The main event, semi-final and special bout, all six-rounders, have all the earmarks of being redho’ sessions. Each of them should be replete with violent action. Richmond Looks Good “yYoung” Richmond, who came here from Oregon via Ketchigan, has a lot of backers trailing him to take Murnhy into camp tonight.

Lawrence, tired of taking the short end of the purse, has assured Matchmaker Dolan he wil put Sammy to sleep. In their last previous fight, Lawrence did 120 much covering and let Nelson run away with aggressiveness. This time it's going to be different, ac- cording to the “Keed,” and if there is any covering, it will be Sammy'’s doing. Hitter Vs. Boxer “Sailor” Sharkey, an ex-Coast Guardsman and husky southpaw with the corkscrew windup, facing will have to travel at top speed to meet the little brown brother en even terms. Nabalis is a speed merchant with lots of boxing abil- ity. He hasn't shown anything like Sharkey’s hitting power in his for- mer bouts here. If the “Sailor” can find the target he has a fine chnace to win by a kayo, but if it goes the full distance, Louis ought to nose out on points. Phillip Joseph and Pete Balardi, lightweights, and clever mitt sling- ers, trot out their wares in the five round battle. Little is known about their ring ability, but Dolan is satisfied they will furnish the fans with plenty of highpowered movement. Two Billys—Nikinovich and Jacks —are the principals in the curtain- raiser. The show is slated to open at 8 o'clock. All Legionnaires are requested by Post Commander J. T. Petrich, to wear the Legion's official cap in keeping with Armistice Day. - ARMISTIGE DAY PASSESQUIETLY; Will Be Given This Evening by Legion Except for a five-minute demon- stration just before 11 o'clock this forenoon, Armistice Day was ob- served quietly in Juneau.

The most traveled woman sports fan in this section, Mrs. McGuire, keeps her overnight bag packed and her big car in condition to accompany Gerry on his trips. Before the season is over she | will have traveled more than 3,000 miles on scouting expeditions. While Gerry was playing foot- ball, baseball and basketball for the University of Rochester during the past four years, Mrs. McGuire |never missed a game at home or away, and in “following the team” she went 8,000 miles. She didn't care for victories or losses, breaks or bruises. She cared only to see |pound boy T raised” |account of himself. Mrs. McGuire does the driving and Gerry takes the notes on their scouting trips, which already have taken them to several cities this | fall. The two traveled to Middle- | town, Conn., and Hornell, N. Y., for peeks at the Weslyan and Al- fred teams in action. Before the | Rochester-Williams game they were |off to Williamstown, Mass.,, ‘and at Clinton, N. Y, they scouted the Hamilton team.
