 The manner in which the fight game runs along in Arizona is to be blamed a great deal for the George | incident. George is coast boxer, not miller Johnnie Celmars is a mil Her and a good one. Out in Califor- mia a top-notcher like George, and he 1 is top-notcher there, doesn't expec. to get into anything very rough when he steps in the ring He signs up to ! box. not to fight But out here, If a boxer tries to box, shows any science I in keeping out of the way of his op- ponent and adopts defensive atti- tude while feeling out his man, he usually hears himself called yellow"
 Fans out here aren't entirely to be blamed for that, for they judge only I by appearances. But there is a diff ference between a ten-round mill and fourround boxing match, and four rounds is the limit on the coast. The rule works both ways. Palm CT, Happy Woods and a lot of other boys we used to be ready to back to the limit, went out to the coast dur ing last year and made mediocre showings. Why? Because they fought Arizona fashion," on the move every minute, always ready to rush in and give the fans a run for their money. willing to take three hard wallops to get in one harder. Rotten" said the California boys, 'Who said those Ari- zona blokes could fight?'
 Leave 'Em Alone And Jake Stahl, Joe Golindo, Jack Rooney and half dozen other coast boys have come out here and got jumped on just as the Arizonans were jumped on in California. They were content to box and spar, not to mill and slug. Keeping out of the way was their way of fighting.
 There is just one solution for the thing: to keep from signing up Cali fornia boxers unless they are willing to get up and fight Arizona fashion, and few of them have ever shown that willingness. It is not because they are yellow but because they are not used to our style of boxing out l here.
 | Expecting a four-round fighter to : :show up good against a ten-round man is just like expecting a 100-yard-dash athlete to make good showing against a half-mile runner Experi ence and training are different for each.
 Whether or not George has a broll- en jaw, he should remember one thing: Arizona fans will never syn- pathize with a man who quits while he is on his feet and perfectly able to wave his arms, walk around. talk.

 All of which is to be regretted But Mir. Dolye didn't explain how all them there things happened to George.
 George may have broken jaw "an- tierf' or otherwise; there is nothing unlawful about having a broken jaw or an "antieri'' either But Mister French suggests that it is not highly improbably that the festive Dynamite broke that portion of his jaw running in northerly direction three points sou-west of his antieri, while deliver ing his Chautauqua lecture in explan- ation of his action, or lack of it, when he said he had huff and then some.
 Too Rough for George So. MT. French answered NIT. J. Doyle's message, not with one of sympathy. but with another concise definition Of lemons, lines and other members of the citrus family all of which could be applied three times d day to Mister George.
 Personally, we think that. in a way both MT. French and the fans have been a little too hard on George. As far as looks went he did not look like a Quitter. If he had a yellow streak he would hardly have stood up in the ring and quit; more certainly would he have staged fake knockout ol faked a foul.
 We don't think Dynamite George is or was, yellow. He has d good name on the coast and he could not have earned it, if he were yellow. But ii is certain that George could use his

 I'll handle the two jobs without any trouble-I guess my record for the past Is years is sufficient assurance that I can handle anything that comes before me.

CicOtte Will Turn
 States Evidence in
 Baseball Trials

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Eddie Cicotte Chicago White Sox pitcher whose confession resulted, in numerous m- dictments by the special Cook coun- ty baseball grand jury in connection with the 1919 world series scandal, probably will not be punisfIed for his part in the game throwing, ac- cording to officials of the states at torney's office. Cicotte will turn states evidence when the men in dicted are tried and his only sen tenCb will be banishment from or ganized baseball, it was said tonight.
 D. P. Cassaday of Dtroit, Cicotte's attorney. conferred today with state attorneys over the pitchers confes- sion and possible testimony. At this conference, according to state off cials, Cassaday promised that Cl- cotJe would tell the court the same story he told the grand jury. As a result, it was arranged for the pitch CT to furnish bonds without person ally appearing While other indict- ed players who have voluntarily sur rendered have been requi Ted to fur nish S10,000 bonds, Cicotte's- bail was fixed at $500O on the pela of Cassa- day that it would work financial hardship on the White SoX player to force him to put up more than that amount
 "Befcre Cicotte comics. Id we had reams of hearsay evidence" a state official said tonight. but none of it would have held in court. We might have returned few indictments on it but that would have tben the end of the case.
 We wanted conviction and not in dictments and in order to get the evidence necessary we had to have a confession. We were cErtain Ci- cotte knew more than many others whose names had been given us so we went after him.
 "Of course, we had to concede sonrthing to such a witness and we'd rather see Cicctte free and con vict the rest than to let them all get away"
 The ball players and gamblers in dicted by the jury probably will be brought to trial in January, it was said
 Judge s. E. Grove, uewly elected states attorney, takes office in De- cember and it is believed that imme- diate prosecution will be instituted.

 After reading your wire to Walter Abbey for the good of the game in Arizona and your self in general do not think it amiss to inform you that your treatment of Young George is as bad as your wife would indi- cate. George in X-ray shows a complete transverse fracture of the lower jaw just antieri or to the angle of the jaw He is now in the care of our club physician. It took less than two minuses for the doctor to diagnose the injury which the X-ray machine corroborated. I am unable at tkis time to give you particulars as he is in bad shape from not getting the proper attention sc onel. Hope you lee your way clear 10 rectify your criticism.
