3926 (the period July 1 to December
31) totaled $55,653, which is an in
crease of ahout $2000 over the same
portion of the previous fiscal year.

ditional 10 per cent must be spemt
iby the forest service for roads and
-trails within the national forests.

000 directly, and the road an4 trail
fund will be increased by the sum of
$5600.

Southeastern Alaska contributed $49,
710 and the Chugach in Southwestern
Alaska contributed $5,943. Chugach

SPORT REVIEW
OF PAST YEAR
The boxing year of 1925 was fea
tured by the Italian Hospital Fund
show at the Polo Grounds, the op
ening of Tex Rickard’s new Madison
Square Garden, and, the boxing boom
in California. New champions were
crowned in every one but three class
1 es, while popular Pancho Villa and
“Pepper” Martin passed away and
Battling Siki was founid murdered.
A brief review of the outstanding
events in each division follows:
Heavyweight: Jack Dempsey, so
called champion, again spent a whole
year without lifting a finger in de
fense of his title, except to sign ar
ticles to fight Harry Wills, which
may or may not mean anything. He
and his manager, Jack Kearns, def
initely separated. Harry Wills add
ed to .his list of pushed-over set-ups
the names of Charley Weinert and
Floyd Johnson. Gene Tunney gained
great prestige by knocking out Tom
my Gibbons-, and lost a lot by knock
ing out poor olid Bartley Madden.
Light-heavyweight: Paul Berlen
bacih won the championship of the
j world by beating Mike McTigue. He
defended his title successfully againslt
Slattery and Delaney, and entered
the heavyweight ranks to knock out
King Solomon. The rise and fall of
Jimmy Slattery w'as one of the sen
sations of the year. He looked like
a million dollars against Burke in
May, yet Dave Shade, a weak-hitting
welterweight, knocked him out in
June.
Middleweight and welterweight:
Champion Harry Greb defended his
title in a stirring bout with Cham
pion Mickey Walker, who in re
turn defended his in an equally stir
ring bout with Dave Shade. Tommy
Milligan, English champion, made a
fine impression in America, and has
been matched to fight Walker. Mic
key also outpointed McTiue in Jersey
last winter.
Lightweight: Jimmy Goodrich won
the New York Boxing Commission’s
tournament to determine a successor
to the throne left vacant by Benny
Leonard. Then dear old Rocky Kan
sas, who had been beaten thrice by
Leonard, took the title away from
Goodrich. iSid Terris had a great
year, winning over twenty victories.
Junior lightweight: Mike Ballerino
took this synthetic title from Kid Sul
livan, and in turn lost it .to Tod Mor
gan, in California.
Featherweight: Kid Kaplin won the
tournament to determine Dundee's
successor. The Kaplin-Rerman bout
in Connecticut raised one heluva
stench, as everyone thought Herman
had won easily.
Bantamweight: “Cannoball” Eddie
Martin lost his title to Charley Phil
Rosenberg.
Flyweight: While Pancho Villa’s
death was still being mourned by
the Whole world in flstiana, Fidel
La Barba, a Los Angeles high school
iboy, outpointed Frankie Genero, and
is accredited by most critics as be
ing the world’s champion.
Good program at the Liberty.
