Headlining the boxing bill will be that beautiful natural, Pat Webb vs Big Boy Erickson, with Big Boy swearing up and down that he will have his revenge for the decision Webb took over him at the last smoker. Webb threw everything but his <hees at Erickson and evidently did not do anything more than make the bigger Erickson give ground— bat on the other hand, Webb stuck to infighting and never was seri- ously “bopped” once during the six rounds. Erickson says he can throw them inside or out, now.

Mel is a Juneau fisherman who learned his ring science in California. Gleason showed his Wrangell speed and smart punching in the last card Number three boxing match “Smacko” Brown vs. Sailor Hussey. Brown is supposed to be good, but no reliable reports have been re- ceived. Hussey fought a fast draw with Freddie Harris in the smoker last fall and showed up well Oddly enough, with Pat Webb leading the boxing bill, his older brother, Doc Webb, heads the grap- plers list in a bout with “Tiger" Gringwald, a boy from the Mid-| west, working at the AJ, who says he is downright murder itself. “Tiger's” saying he is off boy" just makes Doc Webb mad. He ap- pliea for police protection today for any eventualities when he climbs cut of the ring after the bout is over. Doc says (admits) he has a lean- ing to the dirtier side of wrestling, but he goes further. “If this guy Tiger thinks he’s as tough as that, I'll show him what the word ‘dirty’ really meant when the word was in- vented,” he swore. The Masked Marvel and Gene Eus- tace will mix in the second bout of the evening for the wrestlers. Eus- tace says he doesn't know what ho is in for—but then Masked Marvels have ribs to be broken just as any other wrestler. . U.S. May Refuse Recognition of Newfl _uslria Action Similar to that Tak- en After Manchukuo and Ethiopia Conquests WASHINGTON., March 16. — Ob- servers here predicted that the State Department would follow a policy observed after the conquests of fuse legal recognition of Austria be- cause it was conquered by force. However, the United States could nct keep a legation in Vienna if Austria ceased to be an independent nation.
