Young LaynaIl In Tolls Of Law But
 Il's Not Serious

Young Layman insists on the lirnelisht, he is consistent adver- tiser. Not satisfied by getting into print for knocking his opponent "cuckoor in 50 seconds at the Mari copa arena in the first prelim at their first bill, he sought other means of getting famous, and seems to have grabbed off the Jack Johnson route.
 On the police hlotter at the central station Young Layman is booked for driving with an open muffIer. "He was making hell of racket" said the officer. Seems to be an emphatic sort of person. this Lay man. He is out on S5 bail.
 Layman is booked for the semi final tomorrow night at the Mari copa club, when he takes on the noted Jack Douglas, and will doubtless try his speed tactics on him also. Probably with his muf- fer wide open, too.

| FEW S|DEL|CHTS
 IN IRA RUFUS BOUT

Fans-how quick they are to criti- cize; how quick to belittie the efforts of a true sportsman It was always thus, it will ever so be.
 A thousand times within the past two days. the Rufus Williams-lra O'Neill bout has been re-fought by fans. How this or that might have happened if O'Neill had done this or that
 But O'Neill did the very best he could. A victory for him over Rufus Williams meant far more to Ira O'Neill than to any other man.
 The honest sportsman cannot help but admire the wonderful exhibition of gameness against overwhelming odds that 0'Neill exhibited in this bout. It was simply an instance of a beginner meeting a better man.
 The odds were all against him. He had a chance to win-any boy of his quality has a chance, 80 long as he is standing on two feet. But with an even break in the luck of the game, O'Neill could not be seriously con- sidered against Rufus.
 And there's another little phase that the average fan overlooks. That is the matter of seconds.
 When O'Neill entered the ring against Rufus last Friday evening. he not only was opposed to one of the shrewdest boxers of his weight in the game, but he faced a corps of seconds that supplied Rufus with world of valuable information.
 Quite naturally. a man watching a bout can soc many things that a par ticipant himself cannot see. He can figure means of blocking favorite punches of the opposing man; fe can see ways of getting in good jolts.
 And so 1t was with Williams and O'Neill. Behind Williams in his corner were Tip Gardner, Chet Neff, Jack Powell. Eddie shannon and Nick Cap neile.
 These men, all shrewd when it comes to the boxing game, carefully piloted Williams through the bout. They coached him on every angle; they told him how to slip past 0'Neills blows and how to get in his own favorite punches. Perchance, one saw some thing that another did not. Two men are always better than one and three are better than two.
 This is not an attempt to discredit the efforts of O'Neilrs seconds. Billy Cappelle aided the local boy and prob- ably did the best he could. as did others in his, corner but they were not equal to the occasion.
 Excluding Billy Cappelle, none of O'Neill's seconds were widely experi- enced.
 But Rufus Williams thinks enough of Ira O'Neill as a promising boxer to take the local boy along with him if O'Neiil will go. He believes that there is world of material in O'Neill and that with the proper coaching and training, he will develop into one of the best men of his weight in the country.

A petition was put in circulation Saturday night by the Frank Luke, Jr., post No. 1, American legion, which has as it's object the creating of a boxing commission for the city of Phoenix, this commission to be composed of the post commander and the post adjutant, of the local post of the American le- zion, and a practicing physician of Phoenix to be appointed by the city manager.
 The ex-service men are asking for the creation of this commission so that they may be able to derive the neces- sary revenue to maintain the local post. The proposed legislation allows for the collection of a percentage of the receipts of all boxing exhibitions with in the city limits. It is thought that enough money can be secured in this manner so that it will not be necessary to solicit funds from the general pub lie. It seems to be the opinion of many people that it is only fair that the ex service men should receive some of this revenue to maintain their organization, as it is very doubt full if the bill legalizing boxing in the state would have passed the last legis- lature, If it had not been for the men in the service.
 The petitions will be placed at all the leading cigar stands and sporting goods houses. as well as circulated by the ex-service men in person. From the start which has been made it is very likely that in a very few days the matter will be presented to the city clerk and then 10 the city commission.
 Following is a copy of the petition:
 To the city clerk of the city Of Phoe- nix. Mariccpa county, state of Arizona:
 We, the undersigned citizens and qualified electors Of the state of Ari- zona and the city of Phoenix, respect fully. demand that the following pro- posed ordinance shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the city of Phoenix at the next regular city elec-
