lad hesitated. He motioned to him to come back again, and the second hesf- tation lost him the decision, for with his usual prompt judgment Corpstein raised Buffers hand, and the local In dian had attached his first fistie scalp to his war belt.
 The Old Master
 Grandad Harry Gibson, a man who quit fighting five years ago, when he fought fast draw with Johnny Kill bane, was matched against a Tucson Mexican boy billed as Tony Ochoa. Gibson proved to be past master at the art of boxing. He was clever, Oh, so clever, and time after time he rocked the Mexican lad, who had an advantage of youth reach and heighth.
 Gibson proved to be a very entertain ing card. In spite of his age, and he is no youth, he had so many tricks up his sleeve. was so fast, and capable of getting away from the younger mans purcnes, that he put up a wonderful exhibition. He came close to laying Ochoa low several times and had the best of the argument in spite of Referee Nick Capelli's decision, which was booed with avidity and considerable energy by the crowd.

TICKETS FOR ERODE
 WALLACE MATCH IND
 READY MARKET HERE

Tickets for the second big go under the auspices of the Maricopa County Athletic association at the Alhambra Arena Tuesday were placed on sale last night. By the way the fitst group were gobbled by fans, who approve the class of bouts staged by the Mari copa club, it is almost sure that the usual crowd will be in attendance.
 The seating arrangements have been changed at the big arena There will be more reserved chairs and reserved section of the benches.
 Another change in the arrangements under the management of Jimmy Staff ford will be the abolition of train to the arena that night. Stafford has made arrangements to have fleet ol ten auto buses run down the corner Of Second street and Washington to the arena.
 Otto Wallace, who has been in town several days. worked out last night at the American Legion. The usual large crowd was attracted to see him in his training stunts. Wallace is an un- usually husky youth, quick on his feet and equally quick with his bands. He boxed several fast ronds, put on sew eral rounds of shadow boxing and skipped the rope, much to the enter tainment of the visitors.
 Brodie who will go up against Wal lace will land in Phoenix this morn- ing. He has established a wide repu- tation on the coast. but Wallace is about the fastest boy he has gone up against.
 The bout between the two is causing an unusual amount of interest. The fact that they are evenly matched and have a long string of victories to their credit, makes the fans believe it will be about the fastest mill over staged in the valley. Promot ITS had been trying for some time to sign Wallace for a bout here, but it remained for Stafford to swing the deal. Wallace and Brodie are said to be the highest paid boxers who have ever stepped in ring in Phoenix. They have passed the class of four round entertainers and each believes that with little more experience, they have chance at the lightweight crown.
 The match between Young Layman and Jack Douglas, which will be the semi-final to the big show at Alham- bra, will be better than the ordinary bout of that calibre. Douglas is rated one of the best men of his weight in the country. It is but a short tina ago

And poor Ira never knew what hit him. Down, down he went, and then still further until the good old floor came up and helped him support his failing limbs. At the count of six he got up. He staggered towards the Terrible Rufus. his conqueror at last and met-Oh man, but he walked into a wicked one, and again he went down, never to come up again to face the hardest hitting, cleverest, black man he had ever seen,
 The towel was in the ring before he went down the second time, and all there was for Referee Bill Corpstein to do was to raise the hand of the tri- umphant Rufus Williams in the air and and thereby adjudge him the win ner in the fastest bout Phoenix has seen in many a day.
 All of which is merely to say that in six fast clean rounds. Rufus Williams of San Francisco, made good his word to his packers and put out Ira O'Neil Phoenix favorite within that limit.
 'Tse either going to beat him in three rounds or six said Williams yesterday afternoon. And Oh, how he did it. So fast that few of the thou
  pened. Fairly even the fight had been up to the fatal sixth. Williams had a shade of the going He was too clever for Ira. but O'Neil had youth, stamina, and a wicked punch to carry him along.
 Clever, why Williams was so clever that after the first round when he had let Ira use everything he had in his repertoire on him, he was supremely confident. Once or twice the Irresis- tible Ira had his own way, and made Rufus step for all he was worth. Will Hams much prized teeth added to the decorations of the ring, and the old cut over the eye was opened in the third but at that Ira's eyes were in bad shape, too.
 Ira, Popular Man.
 It was popular fighter that stepped into the ring, when the towel bedecked O'NeH climbed through the ropes at 10 o'clock last night. But the towel was 2 fatal omen. It was not so very many minutes later that the same towel was sprawled out on the floor, signifying that the Phoenix flash was through, for at least one night.
 It was a left hook to the jaw which started Ira on his downward career.
 The worst of it was as far as Ira was concerned, that the blow was en- tirely unexpected. True Rufus had rocked him several times, but it takes a powerful hard blow to lay out a boy as rugged as O'Neil. Ira had been fighting along in the sixth. when all of a sudden Rufus rushed him way cross the ring from corner to corner,

Rufus Fooled Crowd;
 Never Lost a Tooth

Rufus Williams never lost tooth last night. Everyone, including the sport writers, thought he did, but he came into The Republican office last night, pried his mouth open and exhibited a full set of powerful white worries.
 What was it he lost? Merely two or three orange seeds, which he had secreted for just such pur- pose. He fooled Ira, the crowd, and some of his own seconds.
 q didn't want to hurt Ira" said Rufus last night. q hated to hit him that second time, cause that isn't being a sportsman. knew ! had him whipped, after the second round. At that he is one game boy and surely conner"

streak never grew on his back. He had an excellent opportunity to show it had it been there.
 It was too bad, cause every coloned man in town had as usual backed Ira to the limit A census of local barber shops last night might have shown a few new owners.

and then was when that terrible left hook connected. It seemed as if Will
 Hams was a foot off the ground when he connected, and Ira thought pile driver had hit him. The look which came across Ira's face was positively ludicrous. He sat down in his corner, and then he showed his gameness. He took the count of six, staggered to his feet, walked into a powerful right hook to the kidneys and then another left to the jaw and Ira went whirling across the ring into temporary oblivion. He
 sprained his ankle before he hit the floor the second time, and was unable to get to his feet. Five minutes later Ira was still wondering what hit him. Perhaps he still is.
 OtNeill had Phoenix back of him. If the percentage of packers of O'Neil as compared with those of Rufus could be
 known it would probably be two to one.
 It was a supreme confidence which won for Williams. He was positive all day he would beat the Phoenix lad, and he backed himself with every cent he had. He was wary to the extreme and time after time changed his tactics
 on Ira. After the second round he shifted his lead and fooled the local i lad. And as to condition. Williams i was shrewd enough to fool most Phoe-

AUSTRALIAN PAIR BEAT WESTERNERS
 IN NET DOUBLES

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Gerald L. Pat terson and Norman E. Brooks, Aus tralians, winners of the United States doubles championship in tennis for 1919, showed their supremacy over William M. Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin of San Francisco, the team that formerly twice held the same honors, in the international matches which opened today.
 The Australians won in straight sets. The other Australian pair, R. V. Thomas and Randolph Lycett, were off their game and were beaten by Ralph H. Burdiclz and Samuel Hardy of Chi cago.

A Few Notes

Nick Capelli and Chet Neff who fight two weeks from tonight in the same arena were introduced to the crowd by Announcer Harry Johnson. They served in opposite corners in the Williams O'Neill bout.

THE CHICAGO RIOTS

A Baltimore newspaper recently
published an ad put out by the Anti.
Prohibition league OF that city twit-
ting the drys about the race riots IN
the city of Chicago. The charge was
made that dry leaders have asserted
that there would be no more crime
and violence after prohibition be-
came effective.
AS usual the wet leaders have made
a bone heA play" Perhaps no man
is better qualified to speak authori-
Chicago than Samuel p. Thrasher,
member of the committee of fifteen.
He says that in his opinion had there
been a strict enforcement of the law
regarding vice. gambling and Illegal
liquor selling. there would have been
no race riots in Chicago. Thus liquor,
and not prohibition. is one big con-
trfbuting factor in the case.
The liquor interests have published
broadcast the statement that riot.

Every college or university has
some distinctive appeal that 1t can

woven with the intellectual life OF a
great section during that time.
O. Curriculum, Equipment and Fac
ulty: There are five departments
