—Former president Irigoyen left
the barracks where he has been
held a prisoner since the revolt.
The 80 year-old man told
provisional President General
Uriburu that he wanted to spend
the remainder of his days in
Europe.
Two doctors examined the
aged man and said he was suf
fering only a slight heart dis
order caused by age. To Doctors
Castex and Lavelle he told about
wanting to go to Paris or Spain
and said he was willing to leave
the pampas country, which he
helped to build from his young
manhood, as he feared his pre
sence in Argentine might be un
desirable to those in power.
Irigoven's personal effects have
oeen sent aboard a cruiser which

CHIP SINGER
SINGER SEVEN TO FIVE FAV
ORITE OVER JINX OF
CHAMPIONS
FLASH—McLarnin wins by a
knockout in the third round.
NEW YORK, Sept- 12. (/P)—Mc
Larnin, the battling Irishman,
knocked out Al Singer, lightweight
champion, in the third round of a
ten round non-title bout with a
volley of lefts and rights to the
chin. McLarnin floored Singer once
for the count of njne but the lat
ter barely reached his feet as Mc
Larnin did cartwheels across the
ring. *
Singer rallied gamely but an
other right knocked him down—
out.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. (/P) —
The third round of the fight lasted
for two minutes and 30 seconds.
In the first two rounds it looked
as if Singer would break the Me
Lamin jinx over champions as Mc
Larnin was outboxed, outsmarted,
and outslugged as 25,000 bellowed
in glee.
Then Singer grew earless about
the easy way in which he blocked
McLarnin’s clouts and he was jab
bed off his balance with smart
lefts; Singer tried to slug with Mc
Larnin and smacked a right to Mc
Larnin’s chin and stepped back as
if tauting McLarnin.
McLarnin blinked behind his two
fists and suddenly lashed out with
a left hook to the side of Singer’s
head which really finished Singer.
McLarnin crowded off the soft
ened Singer a bit more as he circl
ed the ring. McLarnin crouched—
like a shuffling, cold, vicious killer
stalking his prey and— caught Sin
ger with both his hands in a one
two, one two to the head.
Singer crumpled to the floor and
McLarnin cartwheeled toward his
corner. At the count of nine Singer
staggered toward McLarnin and
mised McLarnin’s chin. McLarnin
measured Singer with a left and
drilled him clean to the chin with ;
a right. Singer went down and re- |
mained down as McLarnin cart
wheeled once more
Singer weighed in at 135 and one
half; McLarnin 140. The gate was
$175,000. Singer was a 7 to 5 fav- j
orite over McLarnin.

LEGION DEI.EMTES
SHE IN SEINNRD
TINE OVER TOE CITY
The other morning a crash of
gun fire awakened residents. It
later developed that the firing
was caused by duck hunters.
This morning, late risers, were
startled to hear the sound of
blaring trumpets and rolling
thunder of drums. Again came
the thought; “Are we being at
tacked?”
No shot and shell being heard
screaming through the air was
the signal for these late ones
to peek out of windows and then
it dawned!
It was an invasion, alright, but
a friendly one, for the American
Legion today are in possession
of the city. Tomorrow when they
depart to capture Anchorage, the
Convention City, they will relin
quish local control to city auth
oritv.
“Mirabile dictu!” “Si vous
plait, madame, nous—” “Par
donnez moi, messieurs,” “Pris des
armes,” “Vin ordinaire,” “Que
voulez vous, mademoiselle et
messieurs” “Allez oop,” etc. etc.
The delegated from the many
points south of Seward—Post
and Auxiliary members—present
ed an imposing sight as they
disembarked from the steamer,
formed a column, and marched
up the promenade to the “tres
bon” toots of the trumpeteers
and rumbling staccato' of drums.
- «
The drum and bugle corps is
an offspring of the Cordova
Post May their wind never give
out or their elbows cease work
ing.
Local officers and members
were on hand to extend a warm
greeting to the visitors. First on
today’s entertainment program
was a motor jaunt to Lake Ke
nai; then back for lunch. This
evening the Auxiliary and Post
members wil 1 be banqueted
separately in the Seward Grill
which has been transformed to
fit the occasion. Still later, in
Odd Fellows hall, a dance will be
given in honor of the delegates
to which the public is invited.
Today can be compared to a
Roman holiday. All that is need
ed is to warm up a couple of
lions and toss some victims in
to the pit, or to have Dorbandt
fly over the trenches dropping
bombs of more joy.

HUBBARD DESCRIBED IN LET
TERS AS DILLIGENT AND
HONEST
SEATTLE, Sept., 12, (JP)—Re
velle was cross-examined and
corroborated Whitney’s testi
mony that^ agents worked with
bootleggers only to trap them.
Revelle accused Hubbard of
threatening to have him indict
ed if he did not agree to testi
fy that Lyle and Whitney were
corrupt.
The government sought to
have introduced letters from
Revelle to the U. S. Attorney
General expressing the belief
that Hubbard was untrustwor
thy and possibly guilty of ac
cepting bribes.
The government produced a
number of letters written by Re
velle after Hubbard’s suspen
sion as a dry agent in which
Hubbard was described as a
capable, dilligent, honest and
reliable man.'’
