Just to make his champion’s crown completely safe Mr. Foubts forced Risko to come in a couple of pounds over the middle-weight limit. Satisfied that he had done his part, Mr. Foutts settled back in his corner to watch his pride and joy make a show of the unknown Risko. The crowd was small, but there was nothing to worry about, the $1500 guarantee was tucked away safely in his pocket. Risko forgot his role and start- ed right out to pound the cham- pion to the floor. Six times Yarosz bounced off the resin before Mr. Foutts pegained his composure sufficiently to toss in the merciful | towel in the seventh round.

According to the telegram, Ketchikan and Wrangsall will finish their series, | {which was started last week, with | two games at Ketchikan within ten deys. | As things stand now, Wrangell helds a two-game edge of the Kayhki lads. Wrangell won a lwu-’ game series at Wrangell last week 27 to 21, and 25 to 23. So, unless| Ketchikan is able to win two | straight and force a fifth game in! the coming series in the First City, Wrangell will be Juneau's oppon- ent. The playing of the series in Wrangell came as a surprise to many Juneau hoop fans, who, re- cently, were informed that the Kayhi-Wrangell series had been in- definitely postponed because of a |water shortage at Wrangell. Wrangell jumped to a long 11 ead in the first half of the in- itial game of the series last week, and managed to stave off a strong hi drive in the final qunrtcr‘ for victory. Coach Loren W.Schoel’s | Ketchikan club had a one-point lead with four seconds to play in| the second game of the playoff, but a basket and foul shot before the gun won for Wrangell. i Ketchikan is the defending South- east Alaska titleholder.

Martin said that often operators in his district had to send outside for men, agreeing to pay their transportation both ways and guaranteeing them so many days’ work. This is ex- pensive, he explained, but if there was no right of contract under the proposed law a man could get his way paid up, work a day and quit and the employer would be out of money as well as out of a man. Truitt Called eral, was called before the com- mittee in connection with the le- gality of the contract labor bill, but said he would prefer to give the matter more study. He did sug- gest elimination of a sentence which would provide no contract can be entered into. Hofman attempted to kill the six-hour underground bill through indefinite postponement but his efforts were without avail, the House as a committee deciding not to make recommendation. Thus, the battle probably will be fought all over again when the measure comes up for final passage. e s snows combined with heavy rains to flood Snohomish Valley in Western Here’s one driver “pulling off the James S.
