CARPENTER TRIMS "SET-UP" AND BIG TOWNSC CHAMP JAWN;
 DESCAMPS HAS CASH DESIRES

the fact that Carpentier fought with his left arm held low and his left jaw wide open to any stray boxing gloves that might have been flying about in the chill night air. For a fact, Car pentier's jaw had a sign on it. Init me" all through that fight and the fact that he didn't get hit was more to Levinsky's discredit,. than Carpenters credit Robert Edgren, writing in the Evening World. implies that if Car pentier ever missed a swing at Jack Dempsey, as he missed swings at Lev inslxy. Dempsey would leap into the opening and spin him half way back to France with one punch.
 Carpenter certainly lived up to his 24 sheeting as a pretty boxer and a relentless attacker. but any fighter of any class at all would have whaled Levinsky as he showed in that battle. The Battler looked cheap as an order of beans. He was awkward. founder ing whenever he missed one of his timid leads.
 And he had a very bad case of buck fever. due. no doubt, to the reputation 'as a killer that had been built up

repertoire in an effort to earn their money as quick as possible.
 No. 4 offers Battling Scotty and Red Gardner in a ten round fight for the championship of Phoenix. Much has been said about both boys, leaving the fans to judge their favorites. The best way to pick the winner of this bout is to count 'em on the floor and whisper to the fan in the next seat: T told you so.'
 Scotty has been consistent winner in late events and he has been fighting some good boys. He has a good jaw and a good head and his knowledge of the ring game is sufficient to carry him through the ordinary fight. In meeting Red Gardner he will face the toughest scrapper yet imported to Phoenix for a. preliminary card. Gard ner looks good in the workout; if he shows as good in the ring this evening Scotty will forsal1e the ring for few numbers.
 The main event brings together Happy Woods and Soldier Lynch ir Happy's first Phoenix showing. Tucson went wild over Happy and the border towns still like the Old Pueblo boiler maker. Happy figures that he can get in solid down here by kayoing his first opponent in short order.

Tc END COUNTERFEIT PERMITS

A big contract for specially water marked paper upon which to print licenses for physicians to prescribe whisky and other alcoholic medicines which might be used as beverages, and also the prescription blanks themselves has recently been awarded through the congressional joint committee on print ing to paper manufacturers in the Springfield, Mass, district.
 The congressional committee was ap- pealed to recently by the officials of the internal revenue bureau to help them out in suppressing big business which appears to have grown up in the mat ter of counterfeiting prescription blanks. These blanks are issued by the internal revenue bureau to the physi- clans, along with the licenses to write and issue such prescriptions. It was represented to the committee that a tremendous number of these blanks were being counterfeited. They were not printed On a distinctive kind of paper which would make counterfeit | ing difficult. one report had it that as many of these spurious prescription blanks were circulating as there were bona fide blanks issued by the internal revenue bureau.
 These blanks are printed at the gov ernment printing office, and the con gressional committee purchases all the 1 paper for the printing office. The paper for which the contract has been made will be specially water marked with the words internal Revenue Pro- hibition." The contract calls for 110.- 900 pounds of this special paper. This will supply F million books of one hun dred leaves each for prescriptions, to be issued to the physicians and l million physicians permits. giving them the right to issue prescriptions for a wee drop O the cratur."
 It is reckoned that this supply of paper will be sufficient to run the bu- reau six months, and that the new watermarked prescriptions will aid greatly in putting an end to the sale of liquor on spurious prescriptions Washington Star.)

 Levinsky didn't give him a fight so the public right now doesn't know much more about the Frenchman's real abilities than it did before.
 To all of this. Descamps takes ex- plosive exception.
 George she do not have to be on guard against Levinslxy." the keen eyed manager sputtered. Against Dempsee he fight different way. One time he ask Levinsky. to 'heet me be- cause he know Levinsly cannot hurt him. But he will not let Dempsey heet him. He will knock out Dempsey in four rounds"
