(AP Wirephoto) Posibilities of Knockout in Lacey-Richards Battle Seen While it is generally believed that Wednesday night's feather weight championship fight between Snooks Lacey and Bobby Richards will go the full 15-round limit, there is a possibility that the affair may end in a knockout. ' Lacey, considered a "smart" boxer, has demonstrated that he can put over a kayo punch and he may undertake to polish off his opponent somewhere around the tenth. On the other hand, Richards, also a polisher per former, would not be adverse to taking Lacey's crown via the knockout route. There must be a decision at the end of 15 rounds and this fact may tend to make the boys, open up in the late rounds if neither had piled up a decided advantage. Two judges will as sist Referee Packey McFarland in arriving at a definite con clusion. The balance of the card will include a six round semi-final between Dickey Abney of Salem and Ray Garcia of Portland, and three four round scraps; Ralph Ayres, Salem, vs. Kelly Jack son, Portland; Glenn King, Port land vs. Nick Burley, Portland, and Hal Fries, Salem vs. Johnny Archuleta, Portland. .

This is equivalent to an increase of . . $45 per year per telephone subscriber 40 percent increase in all tele . phone rates The demands of the unions would increase the cost of providing tele phone service by about $100,000,000 a year.

It would make our total payroll more than all of the money we took in last year. In terms of the average telephone bill, it amounts to $45.00 a year for every one of 2,300,000 telephone sub scribers or a 40 per cent increase in all telephone rates.
