FOUR KNOBS IN
 SIX BOUTS SPEED UP TRYOUT CARD

They introduced a few of the 1922 speed model fighters at the Capitol City arena last night. And as a re- suit thereof, the first tryout night program at the new club was "short and sweet with action galore. plenty of speed and the razz boys having an opportunity to get in their best strokes. In the final analysis, there fore. it was a successful card. with everybody satisfied.
 Four of the six events ended in knockouts, another was called off in the third round when a foul was claimed and the other went the scheduled distance of four rounds to a draw. Instead of the A rounds actually scheduled, fans witnessed, in all, about If rounds of milling. Speed had nothing on last nights card.
 J'> only thing about the program tn asn't speedy was the referee. Es iieved in giving everybody pic of time, especially those who needed it-and there were many who were in that plight. For speed. he was worse than the Wilson Downey fight.
 the performers IS seconds on the floor, timekeepers say. The long rest was refreshing indeed to the wilted one for he came back with a. bang in the same round and plant ed a sleep powder on the nose of his opponent from which the latter never recovered, long count notwith- standing. That was in the Dummy Madden Fireman Ferriegel scrap.
 This bout, the semi -windup. was easily the headline attraction. If there is anything in the fight repe- toire that these fellows failed to show. fans of Phoenix have been badly cheated in the past. From the tap of the first gong until the referee motioned the slumbering Dummy to his feet after a count of nine-one count for each two seconds-it was about as lively an affair IS one could imagine. And at that juncture, things had just begun to happen. Thirty seconds later, the battling fireman was sprawled out on the canvas. the result of a furious mixup

NE W YORK TALKS. BASEBALL TODAY
 WHILE ENV|OUS WORLD LOOKS 0N

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-New York plunged into sea of baseball argu- ment today and at the same time divided itself for a rooters war when the Yankees and Giants meet in world series combat at the Polo grounds Wednesday.
 On the subways. the elevated. the busses and in surface cars and hotel erywhere-baseball fans were debating the respective merits of the various players. Whether the speed and resourcefulness of the Giants can overcome the punching power of the Yankees is one of the big points at issue. Yankee rooters expect big things of Babe" Ruth.
 Meanwhile the offices of the op- posing clubs were making final prep arations for the post-season classic. At the Giants headquarters all the tickets have been reserved. it was announced, and there talk centered about McGraw's pitching selection for the opening game.
 "Toney is his best bet" declared an old time player-~ Fred will make Ruth and Meusel and the rest of that Yankee slugging crowd pop 'em up to the infield. McGraw wants to take first game and Toney's the boy to do it."
 Other Giant followers thought Me Graw might start Art Nehf. the young left handler, and still others favor ed Phil Douglas. McGraw said noth- ing. Neither did Hughey Jennings, nor Cozey Dolan, the two coaches Yankee headquarters was filled with baseball players and last minute ticket seekers Miller Huggins, man ager. went into seclusion. leaving word that he wanted to give his nerves rest and do some figuring on the dope.

 JOHNNY k|LbANE
 NOT ANXIOUS II
 TACKLE FEATHER WEIGHT BOXERS
BY ROY GROVE

CLEVELAND-The next promoter who digs into his jeans for the where withal to stage feather champion ship scrap is going to do some deep digging.
 Promoters McGinty and .Deutsch. dangled S60, ,000 in front of Johnny Kilbane's eyes to get the champ into ring with Danny Frush and to see if the old master had hit the skids.
 It was a dirty fight, full of regret table incidents, but Johnny demon strated fully that he is still the Kil- bane of old, for when F'rush's sec onds revived him, the Baltimore chal- lenger's body was so spotted with the marks of wallops that he looked like red spotted leopard. Kilbane undoubtedly will hold out now for a purse of s75.00o or $100,- 900 to defend his title again.
 Tex to Pay More
 If Tex Rickard is the man behind the guns, Johnny probably will tack on a few thousand more, for Kilbane never has forgotten the slight Rick ard handed him when he invited champions of other classes to attend the Dempsey Carpenter fight and failed to invite the fAather king.
 Rickard has long been figuring on | SldSIll6 d Aiibdlle l1Sut anu udu Ol ferred Johnny $40. 900 to appear in New York. Kilbane turned him down cold-and got s60,0o for the fight in l Cleveland.
 Kilbane. well off financially, cares little whether he fights again soon or not. His one ambition is to keep the 1 crown until spring, when he will have 1 held it for 10 years.
 Other contenders probably will re- l fuse to meet the champ in Cleveland 1 for Kilbanes last minute announce ment that he would not fight unless l judges of his own choosing were named, gives the feathers the i'm l pression that they cannot get a fail deal with him here.

certainly looked as if Frush was go- ing after Kilbane's wind. Johnny turned to the referee. Kelly, to pro- test. Kelly paid no heed: Frush con- tinued his wallops. That angered the champ and he drew F'rush toward him with his glove back of Danny's neck and deliberately '.kneed" him.
 Kelly set the two men to their corners and rather than stop c fight that had be%n under way only a cou- pie of minutes, which would have forever killed boxing in Cleveland, he gave the men chance to recov- CT and ordered the fight to go on.
 Kelly is to be commended. His ac- ton was fair to both fighters as both had fouled, although Kilbane deserves censure as this foul was deliberate.

DEBATE
ON SCHOOL FUNDS

At a lengthy session of the regular
meeting of the coun.y commissioners
Thursday morning, at which time the
superintendent of schools, assessor and
treasurer were present, the general
school levy, under the new law was
placed at IA mills for Pueblo county.
This was decided to be a necessary
step to raise an amount that will place
the minimum teachers salaries at SO
per month.
Should this levy raise more money
in any district to pay the s75 a month
salary for its teachers, the extra
money applies to other school districts
where the levy does not supply enough
funds. An example of this is shown
where $4,000 is raised by the levy
in the South side school district and
only $4,000 is required to meet the
minimum teachers salary. thus $lS,-
900 goes to other districts. On the
other hand, the North side school dis
trict is lacking $4,000 which is derived
from the districts similar to che South
side.
1t is stated that the smaller rural
districts benefit by the levy as they
receive help from other districts.
general school levy has long been in
effect, but 1t has never amounted to
such an amount and 1t Is wondered
by many as to the satisfactory work
out of this new levy
