FIRST NEFF-BR0WN MEETING VAS BEST
 EYER HELD 1T 1. \.

If the Chet Neff- Young Brown 10- round bout before the Phoenix Ath- letic club in Arcadia tali Friday even ing IS a repetition of Around bout these boys engaged in a few months ago at Vernon. Phoenix boxing fans can rest assured that they will see one of the greatest bouts ever held in the west.
 Los Angeles sport critics were unan- imous in pronouncing the first Neff- Brown bout the best ever held at Jack Doyle's Vernon Athletic club. Even "Beany" Walker, who has never been any too friendly toward the Vernon club, wrote that it was one match in a thousand; that it was an exhibition seldom surpassed in California.
 In this first meeting, Neff and Brown went to a draw, according to the referee, although Neff was gener- ally accorded the newspaper decision.
 Roth participants use the same style in the ring-they are aggressive, bull dog performers, always boring in in an effort to land the k 0. blow.
 Heretofore, Brown has always been matched with boxers in local appear ances but in Neff, he is meeting a boy of exactly his style; a rugged youth who likes to get in close and stay in close, whose infighting is his greatest assett, as it is with Brown.

MURPHY HAS BIG DAY AT OPENING PROGRAM

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. Aug. 20--
 Thomas Murphy signalized the open ing day of the 1919 Grand Circuit meeting in Poughkeepsie here today by driving home three winners in the four events in which he had entries The Poughkeepsie reinsman piloted Royal Royal Mac and Direct C. Bur nett to easy straight heat victories in the Knockerbocker,n 2:06 trot and "The Hudson Valley" 2:06 pace, and topped off his afternoons work by taking the 2;20 trot with Doctor Nick Considering the track, which was sti.l heavy from recent rains, time per formances were creditable

Prevent Brown from fighting in close and he would be lost. And so it is with Neff. He uses short choppy blows that seems to carry a wonderful amount of power behind them and they don't travel over a few inches.
 Neff went through a hard days work yesterday, concluding his days training at the new training quarters of the Phoenix Athletic club at FPS East Washington street. He went four fast rounds, two with Kid Lewis and two with Danny Murphy. Both of these last two named boys hold cham pionship emblems, Kid Lewis as cham pion lightweight of Camp Pike and Danny Murphy as the flyweight champion of the Pacific coast.
 At the conclusion of his workout, Neff weighed 132 pounds. Although he will not be compelled to do better than 1S3 pounds at six o'clock on the day of the bout, the same being to- morrow, Neff will be down to 131 and possibly 130 pounds at weigh in time he stated last evening. Brown is ex- pected to weigh in at about 12S or 129.
 The new training quarters of the Phoenix Athletic club are a big i'm provement over previous quarters. All the modern training conveniences are included from pulleys and punching bag to Turkish baths and showers. A 20-foot ring has been constructed and all has been enclosed with a, board fence. The quarters. are located at 72S East Washington street. where Neff will go through his final work out his afternoon at 6:30 o'clock.
 Brown will conclude his training to- day also, going through his paces at a temporary established quarters on East Jefferson street between Sixth and Seventh avenues. Frankie Mon roe, who is one of the principals in the semi final is also working out there.

THREE LOCAL BDYs
 WILL BOX FRIDAY

Phoenix versus the rest of the Unit ed States.
 That is about the way the Friday night boxing program of the Phoenix Athletic club, to be staged in Arcadia hall. stacks up at a glance. For, be it known, three of the principals of the three-card program are native born Phoenicians.
 The first of these is Young Brown who meets Chet Neff in the 10-round final. Browns true name is Manuel Encinas, born in Phoenix some 24 years ago. In this bout. he is meeting H native Luisana boy. Chet Neff. who now makes his home at Seattle, Wash.
 In the semi-final event, both parti- cipants are Phoenix boys, this fact
Arizona republican., 1919-08-21

having been brought to light yester- day afternoon. They are not acquaint- ed however, and will meet for the first time when they enter the ring Friday night. These boys are Frankie Mon roe and Casey Smith.
 Monroe's true name is Jose En- einas, brother to Young Brown. Cas- ey Smiths true name is Joe DeSoto, he having resided in this city prior to going overseas for Uncle Sam. He has recently been residing at Miami.
 Tn the opening event, a four-round affair. a local boy named Nicks will take on a Prescott youngster.

The Peanut.

Not only is the peanut valuable
human food, but it has also great agri-
cultural possibilities. 1t is estimated
that more than 100000 acres are I'M
der cultivation. The estimated yield
this year is 100000 bushels. All
the states south of the Tennessee
Kentucky boundary grow peanuts.
Many factories now make peanut Oil
"a keen rival of cottonseed oil for
salad and cooking purposes. The oil
cake left after pressing is a most ex-
cellent cattle food. 1t has a distinct
advantage over cottonseed cake in
being entirely free of any toxic in
gredient. It can be fed with impun-
ity to young animals. The straw is a
roughage rich in protein and very edi-
BILE, being in this respect wholly I'M
like cotton stalks. The peanut cake
also makes good meal, giving to
wheat flour a generous addition of di-
gestible protein. The aristOcratic
arachis hypogaea-the plebeian, goob-
er-has rosy prospects Of a brilliant
future.
The high prices paid for such nuts
as almonds and pecans do not afford
any encouragement to use this class
of nuts as substitutes for meat.
INTENTIONALLY, they are substitutes for
meat. Economically, they are not.
When they are eaten, however, the
quantity Of meat required is lessened.

SEEK TO SAVE OLD VESSEL
Effort 10 Be Made for the Preservation
Of Admiral .Farragut's Flagship,
the Hartford.

Farra CUTS old flagship, the Hartford,
is lying at Charleston, S. c., and is con-
demned to an ignoble end unless Amer
lean patriots rescue her from the scrap
hear.
The flagship of the first admiral of
the American navy is already a dis
mantled hulk, the bully old boat that
distinguished herself in the battles Of
New Orleans, Port Hudson, Grand
Gulf, Vicksburg and Mobile Bay, and
which was the home Of that gallant,
fighting sailor, Farragut, during the
entire Civil war.
= The Hartford isn't going to the bone
yard if the associated veterans of Far
ragut's fleet can help it. There isn't
a great number of the veterans Of
those wonderful old days left, but
patriotism with the rafting old slo-
gan:
Don't give up the ship"
The voice Of the late Admiral Dewey
was raised on behalf Of the historic
hartford, as we'll as that Of every vet
eran organization in the country. The
efforts to save the ship have found ap-
prevail in the person of the secretary
of the navy.
She is only wooden ship, is the
old Hartford, and was built in 1858.
But she was built on the graceful lines
Of the clipper and was the apple Of
Admiral Farragut's eye. It was in her
rigging that Farragut dashed himself
during the battle of Mobile Bay and
shouted his famous command:
Damn the torpedoes! Four bells
ahead, DraytOn."

Inscription to British Dead.

"Their name liveth forevermore."
This is the phrase that will be en-
graved upon the great memorial stone
which is to be erected in each Of the
cemeteries of British soldiers who have
fallen in the war.
1t is the suggestion of Rudyard Kip
ling, who In submitting the phrase to
the imperial war graves commission
wrote: ut was necessary to find a
word of praise and honor which should
be both simple and we'll known, COM
prehensible and of the same value in
all tongues, and also standing as far
as might be outside the f1ux of men
and things.
"After search and consultation with
all ranks and many races in our
armies and navies, as we'll as with
those who had given their sons, it
seemed to me that no single phrase

Losses of Our Merchant Shipping.

From the beginning of the Euro
pean war on August 8, 1914, to the
armistice of November II, 1913, the
authenticated loss of American mer-
chant vessels from acts of the enemy
was 145' vessels of 354, 449 gross tons,
with the sacrifice of IT'S lives, as
shown by the official records of the
bureau Of navigation, department of
commerce. These returns do not in
clude the losses of vessels of the
American navy or of the American
army and lives thus sacrificed record
ed by the navy and war departments.
They do not include several cases Of
the loss of merchant vessels in which
it is not yet established whether the
loss was due to acts of the enemy.

Few Gold Miners Die Rich.

Few gold miners ever die rfch ac-
cording to A. ]. Blake, who was one
of the first pioneers who staked
claims in the Seward Peninsula dis
trict of Alaska, before the rich Nome
beaches were discovered.
Its a peculiar fact" said Blake.
''that money made in gold mining
rarely sticks to the man who makes
it. Gold taken from the ground is
the cleanest money eXtant in that it
makes no other man poorer, and yet
the men who make money IL his way
generally die poor
