FOUR GOOD BOUTS
 AND ONE FLWER
 FUR TRYOUT NIGHT

It was tryout night at the Arizona Athletic club arena last night. new referee. Harry Benksm by name. was one of the trial horses. He will probably be turned out to pasture.
 The fights themselves were bear
 cats. Only one of the five attrac-
 tioas proved a flivver. Big O'Brien and Dummy Madden were scheduled to go four rounds at 165 pounds Three rushes were enough to con vince the Dummy that it wasn't his day--this Friday the thirteenth. Unlike the previous tryout night
 program, the best event came last. 1 Rufus the Second and Young Pete l put up as pretty a mitt spectacle as l has been offered here in months. | Young Pete got the decision after 1 four rounds of terrific battling. l Rufus had things pretty well his l own way in the second and third
 rounds after being held to even terms l in the first He started out in the l final session to end matters and got careless. Young Pete. who packs a
 package of INT in his right, touched
 off the fuse and let his dusfy oppo-
 nent have the full charge on the 1 point of the jaw. The dusky boy s | knees began to wabble. Young Pete showed rare generalship by follow ing up his man, For more than a
 minute he kept on top of the colored
 boy. raining him with blows. Rufus | tottered wabbled and staggered
 about the ring and fought back as
 best he could He weathered the
 storm and kept on his feet until the
 bell sounded and then collapsed. He
 had to be carried from the ring. It
 was the only good decision of the
 night.
 The opening event brought Young
 Arnold and Young Tony together for
 a scheduled four rounder at 1o5
 pounds. Young Tony took an awful
 beating for three rounds, when the bout was stopped and the decision awarded to Arnold.
 Battling Sam, a brother of Young Rufus, and Young Reeves. stepped over the four round route in the sec ond event at 12s pounds. It was de- clared a draw Battling Sam had a shade and deserved the verdict. Jimmy Roach made a whirlwino finish in his four round event witt Wildcat Jones. His showing in tho fourth so impressed the referee that the official gave him a draw IL good thing they had fourth roune for Wildcat Jones battered his oppo- nent from pillar to post in the frs three sessions He hit Roach foul I blows to one ana had Jimmy in 4 bad way several times.

HONOR MEMORY OF

In the passing of Lauritz Lassen, who died Sunday, the Roosevelt dis trict community especially feels the loss of a highly respected citizen. During his entire residence on the south side he had identified himself with all that was best for the district and for the valley and his many friends pause in their daily routine of life to honor the memory of this man who was a credit to the valley and Arizona.

TRADING IS SLOW,
WITH PRICES FIRM

NEW YORK. February 5.-A1though
there was only a slight increase in
dealings on the curb market today
the tone was decidedly firm during
the greater part of the short session.
Professional operators who had been
attacking the market for several days
in an effort to bring about lower
levels covered their shorts and caused
some good advances. Outside business
was small and was confined to the
activity in bonds, with the tone steady
to firm.
Chief interest was again shown in
the low-priced mining group which
had been active during the past few
weeks, but price changes, as a rule.
were much smaller than heretofore.
Eureka Croesus was active and there
were large dealings in Boston and Mon
tana. Florence. Goldffeld and Harmed
were in good demand and scored sharp
upturns from the previous close. Mag
! ma Copper was firm. The silver issues
were exceptions, selling around the
lowest.
Lima Locomotive suddenly came to
life with some commission houses
having buying orders. and an advance
of several points was recorded. Inter-
continental Rubber also was strong
and sold up to a new high record for
| the present movement on fairly large
transactions. Indian Packing and
Sweets Company held steady. Frac-
tional losses were recorded in United
States Steamship, Retail Candy and
| Profit Sharing.

W. B. A. TO GET ORDERS
FOR JUNCTION TRAFFIC
Head Of Maryland Public Service
Commission Says Road Must Re-
sumo Responsibility.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, February 5.-Chair-
man William NJ. Maloy Of the public
service commission announced today
that steps were to be taken i'm
mediately to compel the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railway Company to resume the old
time responsibility for freight and
passenger traffic between Annapolis
and Washington by way of the Oden-
ton-Annapolis Junction-Naval Acad-
envy Junction cutoff.
A force Of experts will be sent to
make survey and report on the
traffic situation in that section. The
commissio will then pass its formal
order.
This proposition has been held up
for a long time, owing to the fact
that the lines connecting with the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
were under the control of the United
States Railroad Administration, which
prevented the commission from TAX
ing action. Now that the railroads
are back to q private ownership basis
and complaints have been coming In
about the abandonment of service.
the commission is prepared to act.
