A A ey uemmis {and changes Winner in Davis Bout Brooklyn Bm;ny Bewild- ered, Befuddled, Thor- oughly Beaten NEW YORK, Feb. 24. — Light- veight champion Lou Ambers last ght bewildered and befuddled and t ghly beat Br:oklyn's Bummy Davis in a 10-round nontitle go be- fore more than 20,000 sport fans who paid more than $60,000. Ambers demonstrated that he is a skilled hover and cleverly and effectively ved a tough crude puncher. Ambers weighed 139 pounds and Davis weighed 146': pounds. Davis, another one of the Jew- ish lads, was strictly a bum fight- er as an amateur and that is where he was handed the nick- name of Bummy. His real name is Albert¢ Darrdoff, shortened to *1 Bummy Davis. But he improved as any punch-drunk bum along the Bash Boulevard will say. Da- vis entered the ring last night un- beaten in 37 professional scraps. He won 22 of them by the knock- cut route. He has been held to a draw twice, both times by Jack Sharkey Jr., and then beat Shark- ey in another tussle. Davis is a pleasant-looking chap with blend, curly hair and a friendly smile. He is five feet even inches tall weighs ar d 145 pounds. He isn't particulariy fast and not any prize-winner as a bhoxer, But he packs perhaps the most paralyzing punch among the little fighting men. His chief weapon is a deadly left hook. But e did not get a chance to work it last night. Not many guys- are running around calling Ambers a great fighter but he is one of the most successful of gladiators. He whipped | Armstrong and Hank has indicated he is not enthusiastic about a return match, Ambers was a favorite, except with the Brooklyn crowd, to win last night's bout.

In the nightcap, fans watche the Haida stagger and stumble to a 45-25 win over the still winless Moose. But the first game was a crowd- pleaser—and, incidentally, the un- derdog Elks had the whole crowd with them, even to a High School rooting section. Nip and Tuck nip uné tuck all the way with t one team lead ne and then the other. The first quar- ter ended 11-9 for the Krause squad, but the Elks went banging awav in the secend quarter and with Youne's ten foot push shot, todk th lead at 12-11.

Nelson, shcoting the foul, veried and a second later popped field goal in., Those three points were the last points of the game. The game must have been a heart breaker to the Elks. They had the game, won with their three ‘point lead in the last few minutes, Kraus- es were throwing passes wild and were shocting from anywhere in general particular. For two minutes they were a team broken and demoral- ized, but that wildness is sometimes like a disease on the court and it spread to the EIks' ranks as well— wild passes, wild shots—just for a minute or so, but long enough to stop the victory roll. Secena Gaame Little need be said about that second game. Both the Haida and the Moose have played a lot better ball, but never perhaps have they both played so much on the floor YOU CAN'T GO WRONG with a NEC.

TREK SUNDAY 10 TOP CABIN One of the best sking days of the year is expected tomorrow if the bright sunshine continues. Several score of skiers will probably make the trip to the upper cabin where sking has been excellent in the bowl the past week. Many parties have visited the |Douglas ski cabin the past few days and have reported the best sking of the year. The area is well protected from the sharp wind that has been blowing and skiing has been conducted in shirt sleeves in the bright sunshine. The snow is crisp and dry | The trail is in fair conditicn for hiking although skies may be bomn 1p the last two miles. Considerable snow has blewn off the high ridges {and has settled on the trail. Snow glasses should be worn as the sun lis very brilliant. | Over 20 skiers visited the Doug- }Iuv. ski cabin Thursday and four remained to spend the holiday week- end. The trail to the upper cabin is hazardous, the District Ranger's office warned this afternoon, urging fhat skiers walk up instead of wear- ing skies. Four inches of granular snow on top of crusted snow pro- vides a good skiing surface in the upper bowl. - Colorful Program Features Women's Dinner on Monday A colorful program plus a par- ticularly timely topic will combine to give special iInterest to the so- clal meeting spersored jointly by the Business and Professional Wo. men's Club and the Juneau Wo- man’s Club, for Monday evening |at 6:30 o'clock.

Paul, Chairman, will | present an interesting program fea- | turing for its lighter entertainment songs and dances of ‘other lands. Messages from four noted women | refugees, outstanding citizens of their own countries, who have been forced to seek sanctuary else- where, will be read. AS a con- cluding number, Mrs. Paul wi}l read Amy Lowell's Patterns, a se~ lection particularly appropriate to the program. Approximately 20 women of for- eign birth, who are now citizens of the United States, will be guests of the clubs for this event, several of them appearing in the colorful costumes of the land of their birth, Other special guests for the avent will be four women from other towns in Southeast Alaska who are now visitors to Juneay.

E Swanson, of Petersburg. | The event will be a no-host din- ner, held in the Methodist Church Parlors, with the Susannah Wesley | Circle in charge of cuisine.
