Arizona republican., 1913-07-31

By a strange coincidence, George Memsic Herb Grccister and the Phoe- nix Phan drifted into the Republican office together last night. The coin cidence is strange, because it never has happened befre. Memsic looked like a recruit from the ambulance depart ment. His right foot encased in de- liant brown sock, glared out of badly slashed shoe. and he limped like he was truly enough shot in the leg. Ap preaching the desk from the door, the fighter dropped his absurd walk ter and advanced briskly. The Phan who was in the room looked at George with a funny look and said;
 For Pete's benefit?"
 Memsic did not start bowling about ''the real goods" and mot stall,'' but said:
 "If it does Pete any good, he's wei come to it. But I don't think it will. The old kick is a thousand per cent better and getting more so every twen- ty minutes. Besides. it does not hurt when I am on my toes and in regu- lar fighting position
 The Phan remained silent a while. surveying Memsic. the said:
 You may not think it. but I know some things beside baseball. When Memsic came in with tha+ lame look, I though he was trying to slip one over But that's all right; a stall right here might be a fine thing ito make Pete quit training, but if George admits he will be fine for the bout, I'm satisfied he will be there with both feet"
 Then occurred introductions among the Phan, Memsic and Gorcister, after which the three started a talk that struck back to the times when Memsic began lifting the lightweights out of his path toward the crown he never quite reached. The Phan showed a re- markable Knowledge of the fistic game, ] and made two fast friends in the boxer | and promoter.
 Three days were all Memsic devoted | to his sick pedal extremity, He has | rested like mad for the whole first of | the week. But he says now that he | will tip the scales at 145, or less, and | will not have to dry out much more l to make the weight.
 Memsic and Pete Daly will weigh in at The Republican office at o'clock i the afternoon of the bout, which is to- morrow. A reputable scale will be se- cured, the boxers will step on it in the presence of the sport reporters of the and Democrat. The weight will be adjusted at 145 pounds.
 Memsic will not object if Daly bumps the rod overweight He will fight the husky Pete at any reasonable heft. though he would like to have it known what the Irishman weighs.
 Some Future Cards
 Gorcister is now arranging things for several good goes in the next month pr two. The winner tomorrow night will get the winner of the Gage-An- derson bout, which occurs August 22 Memsic figures the final of these matches to make a fine card for the
