Members Of Citizenship Class
 Are From Seventeen Countries

the average American citizen could not answer. Sometimes shrewd com parisons were made between this country and their native country. An seem to understand that America stands for an experiment in human liberty and for an idealism which is not to be forgotten even when the actual facts in regard to the coun- try are far from matters of pride.
 The 17 countries represented are: Norway. Sweden, Denmark, Switzer- land, Greece, Germany, Servia, Can- ada, Italy, Bohemia, Austria. England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Mexico and Russia.
 The German speaking group com prises seven and is almost equal to the English speaking group of eight.
 Every member of the class has a copy of the constitution of the Unit ed States and the constitution of Arizona Many of them have pro- vided themselves with some sort of textbook on government or civics. Most of them are mature men, the youngest being p and six of them being over 40
 The teaching of these men has proven most dramatic and interest ing, far more so than would be an- ticipated by anyone who had not been actually engaged in the work. One member of the class was so anx- ious not. to postpone becoming a cit iZen that he gave up trip to his na- tive land last summer for fear it would interfere. Anotner member is making his third or fourth attempt to take out his papers, as the foolish law which allows only two witnesses to be called to establish residence has interfered in his case. This law frequently prevents the naturaliza- ton of desirable foreign born citizens. One member of the class has found that he cannot be natEraiized for this reason and has dropped out of the class. His wife is native born American and has lost her vote, but the couple have a six weeks old son and the father says no one can pre- vent his son from voting. anyhow!
 The attendance at the lclass has been remarkable considering the dis tances covered by the different mem bers. Many have not missed single lesson and few have missed more than one. There are two women in the class. The American Legion will provide suitable ceremonies for April 19, which is Naturalization day.

The citizenship class which was re- cruited by the American Legion for the course given by the. committee on Americanization began with l6 en- rolled members and the enrolment in creased until it reached 2S. Seven teen nationalities are represented. The men come from Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Glendale and ranches sever al miles in the country. Over 400 miles a week are covered by the trips made. They show great earnestness and appreciation of the volunteer services of a number of the leading members of the bar in Phoenix and two teachers from the civics- educa- ton department of the high school who have contributed their services, thus forming a volunteer faculty.
 In a lesson on taxation the intelli- gence of the pupils leads to the ques- ton How many of you pay taxes" The replies listed showed that Is out of the 2S members paid either propr erty or income tax or both.
 Five members are married to Amer ican wives who will be reenfranch- ised when the husbands become cit izens; eight wives are of the same nationality as the husband. The mem- bers of the class would have been glad to bring their wives with them for the course of study had it been possible The class was held in the offices of Thalheimer and Hart, O'Neill building, and the space was entirely occupied by the men who had enrolled, so that it was not pos sible to include wives in the invi- tation. However, they all expect to bring their wives with them on April 19. which Is Naturalization day in Judge Sawtelle's federal court

lantic Fleets boxing championships were being staged in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Johnny entered, to com pete in the bantam class. In the final bout among the little fellows Buff was outpointed by Kid Earle, an ex- perienced ringman.
 Later Buff knocked out Earle in the sixth round
 Buff at that time was stationed aboard the U. s. S. Rhode Island and was known as Spike Lisky. Shortly after winning the title from Earle he was transferred to the transport ser vice, and served for the remainder of his second enlistment on the West wood. He made two trips across the ocean during the war
 Becomes Professional
 Immediately upon his discharge ago, Buff declared his intention to Lew Diamond, than whom there is no more keen or astute observer of things pugilistic, took him in tow. and within a few weeks had make of the little ex-navy man one of the best cards in New Jersey. Buff boxed with consistent success, and then, in the summer of 1919, was sent in against the first real good lad to face him, Johnny Rosner, who was con- sidered at the time one of the best flyweights in the country.
 Buff was returned an easy winner in the eight-round no-decision bout From then on Johnny was made. In decision bouts since then Buff has beaten Frankie Mason Git was this victory, scored in New Orleans, that

 Some of the 30 lads he flattened were Mike Ertle. Abe Goldstein, Willie Burns. Dick Gotwalt. Victor Ritchie. Willie (Kid) Woolfe, Andy Burns, and Al Cook.
 In all he has enged in approXi- mately 70 bouts since his discharge from the service.
 Buff has been married slightly over a year, and is the proud daddy of a two months old baby boy.

America has a new champion.
 Johnny Buff, flyweight, is the latest and the least in the game-tip ping the scales at no pounds. He clinched his claim to the title by knocking out his most formidable rival, Abe Goldstein, in two rounds in New York, and will doubtless go to London to meet Wilde for the world s title. Buff had previously beaten Frankie Mason, who was generally recognized as the flyweight title holder of America.
 Little Buff is a remarkable athlete. Johnny is 32 years old-long past the age when ringmen are considered at their best-yet the new champion is only approaching the apex of his form.
 But what makes Bluffs record all the more remarkable is that he didn't start boxing steadily until a little more than two years ago. Thirty years old before he started!
 Got His Start in the Navy
 Buff was christened John Lisky. He is of Polish descent. The cog nomen under which he performs was derived from a nickname tackled on him by his pals when he was a youngster. For some reason or an- other he was called Buffalo then, and this name stuck until some one short ened it one day to Buff.
 Johnny enlisted in the navy back in the spring of 1911 and served through two cruises It was in 1915 that he first became obsessed with pugilistic ambitions. The At
