GRANT AGGRESSOR IN 30U? ITxH COLLIER; 3 OAT 'UU:? HANDICAPPED LOCAL BATTLER
Despite Che verdict of a draw given in die Grant—Collier melee at Douglas
last week, reports by the ulaska Empire, the ^roller’s /eekiy and spectators
j.rom this post indicate that Grant was 'die aggressor during die entire affair,
Collier being forced to fight a distinctly defensive battle.
Grant was not in the east of shape due to the hard ooat trip south, " says
the Empire, ihe battling Corporal embarked on the Estebeth here" at 2:00 a.m.
the mornipgof the fight, travelled on that craft until 5:00 p.m. during most
of which uimo he was sea-sick, and entered the ring at nine that evening. Hence,
although in che words of The btrolier, '’Collier danced around like a hen on a
hot griddle, and le:t scores of openings," the local fighter -/as unable to floor
him.
Collier would not 3tund up and fight. Grant carried the battle to him all
the way, but was handicapped by wildness which enabled Collier to score ooints
which resulted in an even score, despite the soldier’3 aggressiveness* Ihe
first two rounds were Grant*s. In the third, Collier landed a hard right above
Grant’s left eye -riiich drew blood and brought Grant to his knees, where he re
mained for the count of nine, according to Grunt, this was tlieo.ily effective
blow the Juneau man landed. (Continued on next page.)
After the third round few real blows were landed, and both men slowed d#wn
in the sevantn. Tie xust round, the eighth, both ue:i tried to force the fight
but /ithouc success* wrahu stages c.iat early .n u.10 fight, Collier tried
in-figntihsue us chat is the soldier’ s specialty, tne Native soon was
clinching* Af i»er being pulled out of tie oxinch, he xe*ot at a safer range.
Graiit is confident he would have won in two more rounds.
