BILL CORPSTE|N ID REFEREE TON|CRT'S
 BOUT BEFORE P. \. |.

Because the film company with whom he holds contract demands his presence in Los Angeles at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, Tommy Mcfarland will be unable to act as third man in the ring for the O'Brien- Brown lO- round bout before the Phoenix Ath- letic club tonight. This was the in formation contained in a telegram from Mcfarland and received by directors of the club late yesterday afternoon.
 Bill Corpstein, well known Phoenix young man and for many months of ficial boxing referee at the Mare Island Navy yards has consented to act as third man in the main event
 Corpstein, who is one of the most popular of the Phoenix younger set, is himself, a prominent athlete, es- pecially in Phoenix and Arizona, where he holds many swimming and running records. He is a graduate of the Phoenix Union High school, where he plpayed football. baseball and was a member of the track team.
 At the Mare Island Navy yards, he officiated in more than half a hundred boxing events and was the official referee of the station for all macthes held there. That he retained this DC I sition until he was discharged from service is sufficient proof of his ability as third man.
 In consenting to act in tonight's main event, Corpstein requested that thS rules under which the men will box be made public that there will be no misunderstanding among the fans. In the first place. Marquis of 1 Queensbury rules will prevail. Under these rules, the men are permitted to continue in action so long as one or the 1 other has one free hand. If the oP- ponent is hanging on with both hands this does not prohibit the other from continuing to rain blows upon him Likewise, such a position is not recog- nized as a clinch. It is only when botl men are inactive that the referee has | the right to order them to break. Fans l should acquaint themselves with these 1 points.
 Free or open breaks will prevail a tonights match This means tha when Referee Corpstein orders the mel to break. they are to drop their arms step back two paces and then star boxing. Hitting on coming out of |; clinch will not be permitted.
 Other rules for the match will be thu same as have governed all previou contests before the Phoenix Athleti club.
Arizona republican., 1919-08-08

With a return match here August 22 with some prominent lightweight as the stakes, Tommy O'Brien of San Francisco and Young Brown of Los Angeles will meet in a 10-round bout before the Phoenix Athletic club in Arcadia hall here tonight. Two other a matches are included on the three card program.
 OBrien and Brown, recognized as two of the best lightweights on the coast, completed their training yester- day afternoon in preparation for to- nights bout. which is expected to be a whirlwind affair from start to finish. The match brings together one of fl Nmost rugged boys the ring has de- velCped in recent years and one of the cleverest boxers.
 For aggressiveness. Young Brown has no superior among the lightweight division. the champion. Benny Deon- ard. himself not being a more willing mixer than Brown. This is no at tempt to say that Brown is a better man than Leonard, but merely a state- ment of the aggressiveness of the two men.
 O'Brien Is Clever
 When it comes to speed and clever ness as a boxer, O'Brien need not take a back seat for anyone in his class He is as fast on his feet as a streak of greased lightning, hits with the speed (and almost as much force. tool of a triphammer. and when it comes to protecting himself his side stepping dodging and 1.-the movements of body are an invaluable asset.
 And so it is in the main event to- night Phoenix fans will see an ag- gressive. rugged youth pi1ed against an experienced, clever boxer. A fighter and boxer always put up the best exhibition.
 Brown is in wonderful physica trim. even better than when he met Lee Houck here two weeks ago. He is faster. hits harder. and carries about three pounds more weight than on the occasion of his first appearance. IT his training he has shown remarkable speed. speed that has astonished fans who watched him in his bout witt Houck. And he ever uses that aggres sive manner, irrespective of the blow! rained upon him by his opponents.
Arizona republican., 1919-08-08

OBrien is also declared to be in fine shape, although he looks a trifle drawn as though he had had little too much training. He explains this, however by stating that the drawn look is due to an unusual condition of his skin.
 In his work on the road and in the gymnasium, however, he appears to be in the finest kind of shape. Yester day afternoon, for example. he went through his stunts laughing and whistling as if a school kid at play, with apparently not a worry in the world.
 Fast Semi-Final Expected
 The semi-fina event between John ny Pascoe of Los Angeles and Ira O'NeiH of Phoenix, both negroes, is expected to be another whirlwind af- fair. The men are middleweights.
 Pascoe has a wide reputation on the coast as a hard hitter and a fast boxer. -He has met and defeated many of the best men of his weight in Southern California.
 O'Neill has a wide circle of friends here who are confident that he will be able to stop the Los Angeles tar baby Ira is mighty clever with the gloves ana IdSl A8AeI, duucu lO which is a terrific punch in either hand. Men of his type are always dangerous, even when boxing losing match.
 Nearly as much interest attaches to the semi final as there does to the final and big event of the three card program. It is sure to be a fast bout with plenty of hitting and some ex- | cellent boxing on the part of both par ticipants.
 Opener to Go Four Rounds
 The opening event will be ( four round affair between Arizona Kid and Bill Hartley, both local boys. They are featherweights and have agreed to weigh in this afternoon at 122 pounds
 Both O'Brien and Brown must weigh in at less than 133 at ? o'clock this afternoon. Pascoe and O'Neill will box at catch weights, but will probably enter the ring at 152 and 15O respectively.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-New York and St. Louis broke even in their double here today, St. Louis winning the first. Carl Mays, the pitcher suspended for the season by Ban Johnson. president of the American league. pitched the second game for New York on the strength of the injunction obtained yesterday by the New York club re- straining the American league from preventing Mays from pitching. Pa pers to that effect were served last night on Hildebrand and Moriarity the umpires, and Robert Quinn, the manager of the St. Louis team. The umpires held a consultation but made no effort to stop Mays from pitching. There was considerable kicking by St. Louis over the ball Mays was using and Umpire Hildebrand retained one of the balls to forward to league headquar- terS:
