‘ This is the biggest crowd I’ve
seen in Seward for many years and
the largest ever to attempt crowd
ing into the Dreamland.”

with its draperies of flags and
bunting, formed a brilliant enclos

Seward. The Mayor said in part,
I “I want to thank the officers and
men of the Destroyers Wasmuth
and Perry on behalf of myself and
the citizens of Seward for this un

are carrying thru for us.” Address

Mayor continued, “This smoker is
something some of you have never
seen and it will be a long time be
fore you see anything like it again.”
As the Mayor stepped down the
sailors shook the walls with three
cheers for Seward.

• when Captain Ansell, the master of
ceremonies, climbed gingerly into
the ring and announced the first

fc. to the mat in three minutes and 30
seconds.
MORO JACK, VICTOR
Moro Jack Lloyd next stepped
into the ring amidst the tumultous
cheering of his backers and, after
a tough struggle, pinned the
shoulders of “Crusher” Downes to
the canvas in seven minutes and 40
seconds.
THREW THE TOWEL
This match was quickly followed
by two Navy glove slingers, Mel
Caiman, Perry, and Hank Garri
son. Wasmuth. Colmain led with a
fast right-left to the body and
Garrison retaliated with a hay
maker which kissed the button and
sh ok Colman’s knees. Thereafter
Mel gave more thought to protec
tion but did not slacken his pace
^ and Garrison had to be carried to
his corner at the end of the first
round, after the bell saved him at
the count of six. His seconds and

H SLAV!
IS EASY WINER
OVER p E1IS
NAVY BOXER HI^ LOCAL BOX
ER WITH EVERYTHING BUT
POSTS, WATER BUCKET
; “Gunner” Slavin, the Herculean
muscled Navy fighter, \£on an easy
victory over the local champ in the
main event of last night's 'Smoker'.
“Kid” Ennis stepping into the ring
first, was greeted with the cheers
and applause of his folilowers.
Slavin climbed thru the ropes at
tired in a blue silk bathrobe amid
a storm of applause from the Navy.
“Gunner” returned the greeting
with a smile, took a bow, and retir
ed to his corner
In his corner, “Kid” disrobed, re
vealing a bandaged right shoulder
which he favored thruout the bout.
The referee gave them their in
structions, the gong sounded, and
they were off!
The crowds held their breath in
tense expectation as gloves smash
ed into flesh- The “Kid” closed
in, feinted, then tried some fast
foot work- which was not fast
enough to avoid the “Gunner” who
followed close on his heels and led
with two left jabs to the body,
crossed with a wicked right aimed
for the jaw and landed on the
“Kid’s” forehead.
Slavin danced back and covertly
watched for an opening, but Ennis
kept clear and covered. “Gunner”
closed in and they exchanged a
few hot shots which landed harm
lessly and the “Kid” clinched They
danced out, then in, Slavin taking
the fight to Ennis who retreated
before the flashing left-right-left
onslaught of the “Gunner”. Slavin
followed as the “Kid” backed into
a neutral corner and planted n
couple of nasty ones on Ennis’ low
er lip drawing blood.
With gore showing, Ennis came
back with a vengeance and plant
ed a straight hard right to the
“Gunner”, grinned sheepishly, step
ped back and came at his opponent
behind a maelstrom of flying
gloves while Ennis beat a hasty re
treat into the opposite corner
where Slavin placed a one-two to
the breadbasket and sat the “Kid”
on the ropes.
In the center of the ring again,
Ennis was on the defensive while
the aggressive “Gunner” feinted to
open up the “Kid’s” guard. He
succeeded and flashed thru a right
which smashed the “Kid’s” nose
into a pancake- Then for four short
fast, furious blows they stood toe
to toe until Slavin’s left sent the
“Kid” against the ropes and he
covered while the “Gunner” gave
him rights and lefts to the body,
both arms working like tripham
mers.
The gong, sounding, ended the
first round with points favoring
“Gunner” Slavin.
SECOND ROUND
The second round was short and
snappy. Slavin was across the ring,
rearing to go before Ennis was well
on his feet. They squared off, both
seeking an opening, and Ennis
landed one to the body. The “Gun
ner” answered with a straight left
to th jaw, a right hook to the body
a left hook to the body, and the
“Kid” was on the ropes. He came
back gamely, landed one on Sla
vin’s ear, but the “Gunner’s” hooks
to the body had cut the “Kid’s”
wind while his punch lacked power.
The “Gunner” danced half
across the ring, grinned, and flew
into action again behind a barrage
of fists. Ennis retreated too late
and Slavin landed a hard slung

U. S. NAVY DESTROYERS
WASMUTH and PERRY
(By Sinbad the Sailor)
Whoops! And several more ex
'amations of excitement, joy, et
itera, or we had a nice large jubi
lant Smoker last night- What
with everyone enjoying themselves
and your prince of a Mayor making
that nice speech and all hands
getting so excited they forgot
about program we feel for being
{nonchalant, lighting a wellknown
cigarette and pronouncing it per
fect. We didn’t put on our play on
account of the heavy smoke screen
in the hall. We know you folks will
forgive us disappointing you, we
just couldn’t find the heart to put
Maud and Bill up there and choke
them. We hereby present our
brainchild to Maud Larsson and
Mrs. Albert Kunz and you folks
make them put it on sometime.
Just here let us express our
heartfelt gratitude to the Firemen
and all you who gave a hand to
wards last night’s amusement.
The Messrs. Price and Blalock,
two most promising contenders for
the leather-lunged “Wind shoot
ing” medal, were entertained
after the Smoker last night at the
home of Mrs. Smith- Mr. Blalock
awoke this morning on the after
deckhouse and Mr. Price was ex
tracted from the paint locker.
O Joy, O Joy! The Sports re
porter gave us the glad word, Mrs.
Ward! Thanks a lot. Give us a
rendevzous, or tell Mr. Ward where
we can get in touch with that jam,
and we’ll either be up ourselves or
send the Sports Reporter, to whom
we promised a bite, up after it.
What say, one of you ladies, a
savory leg of fried chichen, huh?
We have a peach of a shiner
cuased from shadow boxing yes
terday. We were on the verge
of a K. O. when our opponent
landed a dirty glove in our eye.
As we write five young Alas
kan spuds are reposing in state
ly grandeur beside the office
typewriter. They have their eyes
on us. Each of them will easily
serve two full grown men and
we are told these are only small
samples! Some of these on dis
play, with a notation of the
acreage available and adapta
bility for production, would put
the old pioneer urge into some
of the weary farmers struggling
on a rocky unproductive hill
side down in the States.
Don’t worry, young fellow, we
are not trying to steal your
girl. We don’t have a wife in
every port—never having visit
ed certain Russian ports—but we
have enough to go ‘round and
keep us oh the alert to put the
right letter in the right envel
ope.
Lack of space as well as the
thirsty linotype operators forbids
relating the fish story of the
season.
Don’t forget that basketball
game tonight at 8:00 p. m.
