POST BOYS GIVE
EVENINGS SPORT
Hood Program of Athletic Events
Successfully Carried Out at
Post East Evening.
I
About one hundred and twenty
five of the sport-loving men of Val
dez crossed the bay last uight to at
tend the initial smoker given by the
Fort Liscurn Athletic club. They ex
pected a good time and were not dis
appointed as the Post boys had ar
ranged and successfully carried out
a good program of athletic events.
The opening event was a 15-min
ute wrestling bout between Herb
Crooks of Valdez and Private Odear
of Fort Liscurn. Both are clever
wrestlers, with Crooks having the ad
vantage of weight and greater exper
ience. As is proper in such events
the strangle and toe holds were bar
red. Odear is quick as lightning and
saved himself several times when it
looked as though his shoulders would
be forced to the mat. Only once vas
Crook in danger, but Odear lacked
the weight and strength to turn his
opponent. Crook won the only fall
in 12 minutes, 40 seconds.
The preliminary 4-round glove
contest between Private Gifford and
Private Morris, while lacking in sci
ence more than evened the score with
plenty of action. At the tap of the
gong they went at each other as tho
scheduled for a one-round bout. Both
are game boys and can stand plenty
of punishment and come back smil
ing for more. Gifford had the ad
vantage in weight, being possibly ten
or fifteen pounds heavier than his op
ponent. and won the decision.
The glove contest between Harry
Ober of Valdez and Roy Hoots, of
Fort Liscum, was a clever exhibition
of open-hand boxing. Ober is de
cidedly clever, cool, quick to take ad
vantage of an opening and with train
ing would probably make good in the
professional class should be decide
lo follow the ring. Hoots is also
clever but was outclassed when he
was matched with Ober. He jarred
Harry in the first round and started
the claret. The bout ended in the
second round by the referee award
ing the decision to Ober. ■
The bayonet fencing contest be
tween Private Rudic and Private
Frazier, both of Fort Liscum, was in
teresting. The men were well match
ed and showed that they could be de
pended upon to give a good account
of themselves in using the bayonet
if necessary.
The principal event, a six-round
glove contest between Smoky Joe of
Valdez and Private Red Mann of Fort
Lilscum was good sport while it last
ed. Joe’s rolls of fat showed lack
of training and anyone seeing the
contest would acknowledge that his
advantage in weight and strength
were necessary to offset his lack of
training and condition. In the first
round Mann appeared to land on Joe
I at pleasure, dui ms mows uiu nm
seem to phase the big fellow. Mann
has a peculiar guard which worked
well against Joe, but which would
prove risky in battling against a clev
erer opponent. Covering his face and
neck with his arms he would take
Joe’s blows on his back and ribs, then
quick as lightning would swing his
right to his opponent's face. This
tactic was repeated several times,
when once should have been suffi
cient to teach Joe what to expect and
how to return the favor. At the end
of the second round Mann had Joe
against the ropes and apparently
failed to hear the call of time as he
landed three or four hard ones on
Joe’s face after Joe had lowered his
mitts. The referee also evidently
failed to hear the call of time.
Soon after the beginning of the
third round Mann was fouled in an
encounter by Joe’s hand glancing
downward and hitting below the belt.
Private Fisher, who acted as referee
in the glove contests, filled the posi
tion in an impartial manner, but er
red in giving Mann the decision on a
foul, as under Marquis of Queens
bury rules Smoky would have been
awarded the decision at the close of
the second round.
| The Fort Liscum boys have every
! reason to be proud of the success of
| their entertainment and it is to be
! hoped that during the long winter
‘ they will continue to furnish an occa
! sional evening’s entertainment of
| clean, clever sports such as they pro
| vided for their guests last night.

Liscum Athletic club for their open
ing smoker.
Before the gangplank is on the deck,
Joe is there your baggage to check.
He knows just where you want to go,
And his auto bus is not so slow.
When leaving Valdez it is just as well
To wait until you hear Joe’s bell.
He never yet Vas missed a boat
But connects with all that ever floats.
Joe never sleeps day or night,
He does his best to treat you right.

British Officials Urging Economy and
Htate that Resources of Empire
%
May Become Exhausted.
LONDON, Nov. 11.—Officials of
the British government are urging
economy and state that the financial
fabric of the nation is crumbling un
der the terrific expense to which the
Empire is being subjected in keeping
her armies in the field.
It is understood that the British
cabinet will appoint Premier As
quith, Arthur J. Balfour, David
Lloyd George, Bonnar Law and Reg
inald McKenna, to the war board to
have entire charge of raising the ar
mies and providing the money to car
ry on the war. The members of the
board were selected from all parties,
Lord Balfour having been prem!er
under the late Unionist ministry.
CHOLERA ADDS TO
ARMENIAN BURDEN
Reported by Presbyterian Mission
aries that Hundreds Dying Daily
at Tabriz, Persia.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The Pres
byterian Board of foreign Missions
state that cholera is adding to the
terror of the burdens of the war
stricken Armenian refugees who fled
from the Tigris and Euphrates river
valleys to Tabriz, in Persia, to escape
massacre at the hands of the Turk
ish and Kurd soldiers.
It is reported by the Presbyterian
missionary in charge of the mission
at Tabriz that the mortality among
the Armenians alone in Tabriz Is over
one hundred per day. The Arme
nians are reported to be destitute,
and starving despite the effprts(of the
missionaries to relieve their plight.
Ambassador Morgenthau, ^United
'States representative at Constantino
ple, has cabled the Armenian relief
committee that if the Armenian refu
gees in Turkey are to be saved that
money must be sent immediately and
that millions of dollars will be re
quired to even partly relieve the sit
uation.
PROTEST AGAINST
HERDING WOMEN
Reformers of Detroit Believe that the
Women of Underworld Should
Receive Chance of Men.
DETROIT, Nov. 11.—The Detroit
city council last night passed an or
dinance re-establishing a restricted
destrict and instructing the chief of
police to see that tii'e women of the
underworld are^kept within the dis
trict.
The creation of the segregated dis
trict has raised .a storm of protests
from the reformers of the city who
contend that the men who visit the
women should also be isolated. The
ordinance was passed on recommen
dation of the chief of city police,
who claimed that his force was in
sufficient to maintain order as the
women had scattered to all parts of
the city, even taking up quarters in
the leading hotels and residential
districts.
Charges of graft have been made
as it is reported that relatives of one
of the councilman is a large property
owner in the district to be set apart
as the restricted district.
