JUNEAU ELKS WANT CHAMP BUTLER FOR LABOR DAY SMOKER:
Our owa Ford Buler,of Company "F",Alaskan heavyweight
champion,is being sought by the Elks of Juneau to appear as the headliner
of their Labor Day smoker,in a bout with Sinclair Brown,of Douglas.
Brown recently defeated Joe Collier,from whom Butler took the heavyweight
title last winter, ihe latest conqueror of the Indian is very anxious
to tackle the holder of the crown,in the belief that he can annex Butlar’s
pretty headgear, but most of the boxing fans violently disagree with l.Ir*
Br own*
It is a question whether or not the Butler-Brown scrap
will materialize,as the question of terms is yet to be settled with the
Elks Committee* Capt*Cook.the E ,<k R* (Officer, is handling Butler's finan
cial affairs, and has quoted the Champ’s terns to the Elks* It remains to
be seen if they will accept them* We understand that Butler aims to ac
quire more than cigarette money in hi3 next bout* As the Champion, he feels
that he has a right to have a say in how much he will appear for in the
squared circle. His last two matches,with Collier and with Davies of An
chorage gained little but reputation for him. Capt*Cook declared in a
recent statement that 1 e ? rt'-nds to change that.
If satisfactory terms are agreed upon it is certain
that the Champ will not lack for backers in the Labor Day go* The sol
diers will be behind liim to a man,and most of the civilian sporting pop
ulation will lay their shekels on him, if one nay judge frcn popular opin
ion freely expressed, even in Juneau,the adopted home of the aspiring Dougf
las battler# The scrap,if it cones off,will sure be a lulu*
