his style of fighting and clean work in the ring makes a hit with the fans.
 The semi final will be box office attraction.
 All preliminaries are we'll matched and bring back some of the favorite local boxers. Young Leonard is a rugged youngster who gets in strong with the fans and Ben Turpin is still a popular boxer despite his defeat al the hands of Eddie Lovett a few weeks back. Jimmy Reese is a new conner, but he is starting at the bot tom and he may make good in his bout with Turpin.
 Five local boys will take the ring in a battle royal. The battle royal is a pep producer from the gong. Last Monday the royal gladiators held the spotlight for seven and one-half min- utes ending when one of the last two was forced to quit through ex- haustion.
 The Legion fight cards have not been a source of revenue to date but the promoters have hopes that Mon days card will help balance the ex- pense account. Owing to the extra expense of transportation for two boxers the top price has been in- creased to s2.20. but another four round number has been added to the program to make up for the increase in price. The seating capacity of the Coliseum is limited and a full house will barely carry the cost of staging the card. The promoters hope to hold the interest of the fans in the weekly bouts during the winter and when the warm weather again per mits outdoor bouts where unlimited | seating capacity is available some big cards will be staged.
 | It's up to the fans to keep the game 1 moving if the matchmaker offers | good cards. If every card is up to the standard set last Monday night the | fans can offer no kick on the quality of the fights and the boxers should l be greeted by packed house.

EDDIE RUSSELL GOOD SPORT

EDDIE RUSSELL GOOD SPORT Eddie Russell lost to Young Rivers a few weeks ago, but Eddie admits Young Rivers is some battIer and, unlike most boxers, he does not claim that he was robbed out of the de- cision. Here is Eddie's letter:
 Superior. AriZ., Dec. 2l, 1921. The Sporting Editor,
 Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 Dear Sir:
 I take this opportunity to thank you for the favors you have shown me, and also to apologize for the miserable showing l put up against Young Rivers. I worked night and day for a couple of days. just prior to the fight, and caught cold in my back, but expected to be all right in time for the contest, at least after the first round. when l could get in my stride. But I was mistaken. as you can plainly see. I wasn't right in any round, not that I want to take any credit from Rivers. as he is a good clean little boxer and a good boy and a modest little gentleman. But that's that and I am going back to work and also keep in training this win ter, and like the old ball player, come out in the spring, when the weather Is warm. and see if I can give the Phoe- nix fans an honest-to- goodness run for their money. As the spieler says, something doing every minute"
 Thanking you again for the favors you have shown me. beg to remain
 Yours sincerely.
 EDDIE RUSSELL,
 Box 4, Superior, Ariz.
 No apologies are necessary from Russell. as he proved he was on the square when he agreed to box pre- liminary before getting a main event The fans hold nothing against Eddie and when he feels that he is in con- dition he will be given another chance. In victory or defeat. the req fans admire a good sport and Eddie Russell can be classed as a regular fellow.

JOE RAY TO FOLLOW BOXING

CHICAGO. Dec. 24.-Joie Ray, fleet runner of the Illinois Athletic club
 and member of the 1920 American
 Olympic team, declared today that he will not desert athletics. even if sus- pended by the A. A. U. following the
 filing of charges of excessive expense accounts.
 Should Ray be suspended he stated that he would take up professional boxing. He said he had done much amateur boxing and if forced to turn professional would put himself un- der the guidance of a real manager and seek to become sparring partner
 for Jack Dempsey or one of the other champions.
 The charges against Ray resulted from his participation in three meets ! in New York last winter. He was ac- | companied by his wife and there was contention over her expenses, as the
 A. A. U. allows an athlete only $7 a | day.
 l Battling Nelson. former lightweight champion, said toGav that he was in 1 terested in the threatened entrance l of the professional boxing game by Joie Ray and wants to be his man. 1 ager, teacher and trainer.

Ira O'Neil and Battling Scotty signed articles last night for a To- round boxing contest to be held at the Capital City arena on New Years afternoon. The boxers agreed to meet at catch weights and posted appear ance forfeits with Matchmaker Nell son of the Capital City athletic club.
 O'Neil and Scotty have been matched and almost matched on sev- eral occasions. but the bout always fell through when it came to signing the articles of agreement. This time. however, both O'NeiI and Scotty signed and posted forfeit money, so it looks like the bout will go through.
 Matchmaker Nelson stated last night that he was negotiating for three good preiiminaries to precede the main event. The bouts will be staged in the open air arena starting at 2:30 o'clock New Years afternoon.

VICE PRESIDENT CooLIDGE's
 VIEW or ARMAMENT MEET

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The altruism Of America that moved 1t to call the con- ference to limit armament and the abso- lute need for economy on the part of the nations will work for the success of the Washington conference, Vice President Calvin Coolidge tonight told the mem bers of the Philadelphia Forum.
 'Tiie great purpose of the present con- terence is not to establish a force which no nation will dare to destroy" Mr. Coolidge declared, but to establish an understanding in which all nations will desire to concur. Tl,sre lies the practical prospect of immediate benefit and the great expectation of world salvation. The ton of theoretical nation security. But even the lexsened power of defense will be balanced bS tSe iessened power of attack
 The aims of she conference are not new. Mir. Coolidge pointed out. The idea antedates modern civilization, be said. "But they all demonstrated that cfviliz- ation hates war and has long cherished aspirations for perpetual peace" he went l on. Thy have for the most part turn ed upon political and military alliances which undertook, by combination, to in- crease the military power, rather than by agreement and Independence to decrease it." The futility of the past arrangements will lay the foundation for the success of the present conference, MT. Coolidge asserted. For they have demonstrated
