IT CONTEST
ON TONIGHT
Martin and Jepson, the two wrest
lers, met face to face this morning in!
Robarts’ Billiard Parlors and had a i
lengthy discussion in regard to the ^
match tonight and while the discussion '
was rather heated the wrestlers part
ed on as good terms as is possible in
feuch cases. And both men stated pub
licly that they were going to win the
match. They will weigh in at about
the same weight, 169 stripped, and i
are both in the pink of condition. Mar
tin claims that he has never yet been
compelled to show his speed and
science in his previous matches in this
city and says, “I am going to win
the match.” Jepson is equally confi
dent and the people of Anchorage will
have the chance of their lives to wit
ness a real wrestling match in which
the strangle hold is alone barred. No
quarter will be asked or given and the
match will go to the bitter end with
the best man the victor.
The preliminaries start at 8:45
o’clock tonight and over one-half of
the ringside seats have already been
sold. There will be a record crowd
attend the match that has aroused so
much excitement and sporting blood
in Anchorage.
Over $800 has already been placed
on the match and both Martin anci
Jepson are staking ther all on the out
come. Dr. Council;' of Cordova, has
wired the Times that he will take Jep
son on at Cordova any time after the
first of March.
Kincaid and Hegstrom will wrestle
in the preliminaries that will be im
mediately followed by the big event
between Martin and Jepson at Ro
bart’s hall tonight.
The many friends of Mrs. Martha
(Mother) White will be glad to learn
that she is resting comfortably at
the government hospital and^ .that
Drs. Reedy and Beeson do not antici
pate any serious results from tomor
row’s operation.

MERRY WEDDING BELLS
WILL RING TONIGHT
The B. and B’s, not river boats but
gentlemen prominently connected
with the T. and T. department of the
Alaskan Engineering commission are
authority for the statement that a
wedding will take place tonight be
tween two popular young society peo

slip of the lip or perhaps the goo goo
eyes told Cupid’s secret. In any event

his choice and good fortune. Also the
bride, Miss Lora Brueckner, will blush

edly popular couple all the blessings

Vnake their home in' the ciiy ' Of An

joyed a little play all by himself, fol
lowing several , mixups and rolled and
dribbled the ball, passed all blocking
except Mickey who recovered and im
mediately shot. The play was getting
good and the mixups were lively.
Blocking and recovering both teams
rushed back and forth on the court to
the loud applause of the crowd. Lea
hy made basket on foul by the City.
Time was caljed and the Commission
held council of war. On ball being
put in play Magnus received ball from
Mickey and again made try from long
and difficult angle and missed by the
fabled hair’s breadth.
Leahy’s free basket scoring one
point put the Commission in the lead
by this narrow margin and both sides
were playing hard, fast and a trifle
reckless. Commission continuing the
short pass game for good gains but
were blocked at the basket.
In their anxiety to make their per
centage 1,000 the Commission foulea
and it was up to Veach. You can’t ex
pect Veach to make all the points and
even he Can miss a basket. Just to
prove that he was not infallible he did
miss the golden opportunity to tie the
score and just then Whistling Werner
whistled. Veach made 12 of the City’s
points and played his usual splendid
game although a trifle off on his shots.
The game ended 19 to 18 and the ma
jority of the spectators were satisfied.
As rooters the Commission support
ers simply buried the City fans and in
this were materially aided by the sol
dier boys.
Perhaps it is a matter of education
but the games deserve a better atten
dance and the old say says, “It is
never too late to learn." Fouls played
a distinct part in last night’s game
and ran in the same ratio as the score
Commission 9—City 8.
The figures eight and nine also are
conspicuous in other details of the
game and resulted in a remarkable co
incidence—for instance—the first half
ended nine to eight in favor of the
City; fouls nine to eight in favor of
Commission and game—Commission
19 while the City scored 18. Very close
and very exciting.
As a referee Sherwin gave splendid
satisfaction and is to be complimented j
on his fairness and sportsmanship. |
