IN 380 FRAME Franks Intervenes when| Gurvich Is Hanging | Helpless on Ropes After two and two-thirds rounds| of torrid fighting with honors even- 1y divided, Freddy Mack won from Nena Gurvich on a technical knock- out in the main event of the Am- erican Legion’s concluding smoker card of 1931. Mack had Gurvich helpless on the ropes in a neutral corner when Referee Franks stepped in between them, forced Mack back and raised his hand in token of vietory. ( Gurvich backers raised a storm of protests, and threatened a riot for a time, but Franks acted ‘o save Nena from punishment which he was unable to avert himself. End Was Unexpected | The dramatic ending came with astonishing suddenness. The Prince Rupert battler took an unmerciful ! beating in the first round and had| the best of a break when Franks/ pushed Mack off him in a neutral corner when the latter was clearly free and pounding Nena hard. Mack had a chance then to end the battle. Gurvich staged a thrilling come- back in the second round which he captured by a good wiargin. He steadied down, used a straight left that had Freddy puzzled and cross- ed a jolting right with telling ef- fect to Mack’s head and body time and again. The third opened in about the same fashion. Mack walked into Gurvich's left and seemed unable to get away from it. Gurvich land- ed hard rights to the face and body. H Land Territic Right | Nena drove Mack to the ropes but the local battler slipped out of a corner and met Gurvich half- way. Nena again backed Mack off with stiff left jabs but missed his righthanded shots. In an exchange near the center of the ring Mack pulled Gurvich's guard down withi a left to the body, then crashed a right swing through to the jaw. Gurvich fell forward on his face like he was out for a week. Mack strolled to the nearest corner with his back to Nena. The Prince, Rupert man struggled to his feet, dazed and stricken, virtually out on He staggered fo a neutral corner and, with both arms out- stretched along the ropes, drooped and swayed.

Dr. Ignatius A. Hamel of the Pittsburgh school recently called the football players into a huddle, selected two of them and made them talk, one with a blonde and the other with a brunette co-ed. The emotion device, Dr. Hamel said, showed the blonde pressure was 120 degrees, while the brunette caused no change la normal blood pressure. The subjects are shown during the unique test. him for a right when Franks shoved him away and raised his hand. Makes Quick Recovery Gurvich made a quick recovery after that, but it was too late. His own lack of judgment cost him his chance for a victory. He ought | to have taken a nine-count when he was floored, and undoubtedly | would have, had he not been knock- | ed silly. He was absolutely help- less when he dangled on the ropes | after arising and Mack could have | dropped him without any effort| had not Franks intervened. Gurvich raged and made a bluff | at taking on Franks after he quit| the ring, but the incident soon | passed off. Some of his partisans likewise clamored for Billy's gore but were satisfied to move on | without it.

Garcia took a bad beating in every round. Jim, who fought with but two days' training, was too rugged and| powerful for the little brown broth- er. He left handed his way to a substituting for | win, straightening Garcia up re-| peatedly with left jabs and cross- ing his right to head and body. He bloodied Garcia’s nose in the opening frame, dropped him for a nine and'a three count in the sec- ond, sent him to the canvas again in the third for a three count, had | him groggy at the bell in the fourth, and put him out in the second minute of the fifth with a slashing right to the wind. Nabalis-Jacks Draw Louis Nabalis and Bill Jacks mill- ed six rounds to an unexciting draw in the opening six-rounder. Jacks had a 15-pound weight mar- gin and inches advantage in reach, | but the little Filipimos kept on top of him all the way and never gave the heavier lad a chance to get set. In the curtain-raiser Sailor Shar- key spotted Rudy Del Monte to about 18 pounds then clouted his| way to an even break. Sharkey| kept on the aggressive and took everything that Rudy had in his chain locker, delivered some pun-' ishment on his own account and was going strong at the end of the four rounds. Challenge Is Issued Whitey Roberts, a San Francisco welter, issusd a challenge last night to the winner of the Mack-Gur- vich go. He is said to be a real contender and may get a chgnce in the next smoker. A Harry Sperling refereed the first three and Franks the last two matches. G. H. Walmsley was master of ceremonies; Karl Theile and E. C. Adams, judges; and Dave Housel timekzeper. The attendance was not up to usual New Year's Eve records of the past. — Daily Empire Want Ads Pay.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and THANK YOU George Brothers Grocery Leader Department Store 1932 i e g < ALASKA TRADE STANDS SHOCK OF DEPRESSION QOutgoing Commerce Val- ued at Over $50,000,- 000 During Year (Continued from Page One) This is the smallest return from the copper mining industry since it became firmly established in the Territory. It is more than $6- 500,000 less than the 1929 produc- tion brought. Other minerals played but a small part in the aggregate for the min- ing industry which was $11,327,071. Lead was worth about $150,000, an increase of $11,000 over 1930. Stone to the value of $75,000, and a small quantity of tin worth $2,700 made up the rest of the list. Canned Salmon Gains Fisheries, as usual, played the major role in the year's outgoing commerce. The total for all branches of the industry was about $36,175,000, or some $50,000 less than in 1930. Canned salmon registered a mil- lion-dollar gain in value and in quantlty. There were 267,201,773 pounds of this commodity shipped with a declared value of $31,150,000 as compared to 239,208,020 pounds worth $30,084,228 in 1930. Halibut gained slightly in volume and value and the figures were: 13,634,083 pounds, and $1462778. Fresh salmon shipments also reg- isterad an advance, shipments last year being worth $825,000 as com- pared to $756,000 in 193G. Herring tumbled about $200,000 to $550,000. Mild-cured salmon lost heavily, dropping from $1,401,045 to about $810,000. Clams shipped were worth $311,000 as compared to $204,000 for the previous year. Shrimps and crabs, at $199,000 and $39,000 held their own. By-Products Lose Sharply By-products of the fishing indus- try did not show to the advantage of the main branches. Ol ship- ments were valued at about $380.- 000 and meal at $345,000 as com- pared to $978,697 and $676,466 re- spectively. The whaling industry was idle. No oil was shipped in 1931 where 1930 shipments were worth $409,- 336. Furs dipped sharply, due largely to price decreases that not only reduced returns but resulted in curtailment in trapping operations. The total for the year was about $880,000 but this will be increased materially when returns are re- ceived from Pribilof Islands fur- seal shipments and mail shipments of other varleties. Shipments of live animals were also affected by the unfavorable market conditions. There were only 114 live blue foxes shipped worth $1,575 as compared to 678 worth $69,660 in 1930. All other varieties numbered 613 worth $21,892 while in 1930 there were 1,096 valued at $75921.

Timber products dropped from trade suffered & $3,000 loss in ship- ments. A beginning was made in an export trade in native footgear when the year witnessed the first shipments aggregating 389 pairs of moccasins. More than 5,000 hair seal skins, 200 pounds of walrus hides, 250 pounds of whale hides were among the miscellaneous ship- ments. Wool Is Exported The grazing industry is reflected in the exportation of 112,070 pounds of wool, and 1,997 pounds of sheep hides. Reindeer hide shipments totaled slightly less than 70,000 pounds. Whalemeat was present in a 15- pound shipment. Small quantities of whale bone, ivory, platinum, reindeer offal, edible and inedible, paintings and beaver castors made up the remainder of the miscel- laneous list. ——————————— FORBES WILL RESIGN POST Ambqssa&or to Japan De- sires to Return to Public Life WASHINGTON, D.
