This was his biz chance and he lit into Sugar Ray us if he had never heard of the latter's fearsome reputation Two rounds went by before Rob- inson landed a solid blow. Not unti the sixth did Sugar Ray win & round. Ringside experts could hardly believe their eyes; the world's cleverest fighter was being suck- ered by an adversary who came in too low and much too open. But Robinson'’s footwork was leaden, his timing frightful. In the seventh a troublesome cut appeared over Sugar Ray's left eye. It was T pin’s head, butting him in a clinch that did the damage. From then until the end of the fight Turpin kept peppering the bad eye and had Robinson on the verge of a knock- out in the 14th. When it was over nobody waited for the referee tc raise Turpin’s hand. It was obvious that Britain had a new world cham- pion and the crowd went wild. every old was Alaska Cancer Group Provides Aid for re will be the M-G-M| yesterday the nomination of Fech- teler, now commander of the Atlan- i tic fleet, to be Chief of Naval Op- { erations, succeeding the late Adm.

Truck scales were the main order of business at a meeting of thel board yesterday afternoon, attended by Gruening, Highway Engineer | Frank Metcaif and Territorial Trea- | surer Henry Roden. It was pointed out by Gruening | that many trucks are operating over },thc highways in Alaska with loads in excess of the allowabte weights. 1t is planned to install scales at Val- dez, Seward, Haines, Fairbanks, An- chorage and Tok Junction. It is expected the Alaska Road Commis- sion will furnish the scales. Present plan is to issue tickets | to truck drivers when their trucks are weighed. The tickets, like driv- l.ers’ licenses will be subject to in- spection by highway patrolmen at any time along the highway. This process, it was said, would discour- age any driver from “slipping by"” the scales. | Addition to the highway patrol | force will probably have to be made } to take care of the weighing, Gruen- | ing said. | Metealf reported that the Terri- ‘!orial ferry Chilkoot showed “no money loss” in operation during July.
