New Years Event Gives Fight Game
 Setback in Miami

Art Hull writing in the Miami Sil- VT hcit opens on the copper camp i.snt promoters with a little broad siee or his own.
 Here's how Hull looked at the Grif- nn-Doyle fight New Years:
 saturday evenings fight card at the copper Belt proved to be largely a uaSco. The much-touted ten round main event which from all the dope and the past record of the two con- tcstants. should have been a real high class fight, was a frost. pure and sim ple. Dandy Dick Griffin won alto <etncr too easily from Jack Doyle of Denver. In fact, he won so easily that Referee Tim Maloney stopped the bout tn the third round and declared all bets off Tt is too rotten" he an- nounced from the ring in stopping the bout. The action of the referee fol- lowed a lsnockdown of Doyle in the third round by right to the jaw from Griffin. The referee had counted five or six when Doyle arose to his feet and Immediately went down again from a blow from Griffin. Griffin's forearm struck Doyle In the back of the neck for the second knockdown. At this iuncture the referee stopped the fight as a fake.
 Neither Blow Had the Kick
 
 neither the blow to the jaw, which supposedly put Doyle down first. or tho second blow, which was little more than "a shove, had any steam behind them II they were knoclxdown blows then Doyle is the easiest boxer to knock down that the writer has ever seen and has none of the toughness or ability to absorb punishment with which he has been credited.
 fm rff fin shaded Doyle and seemed able to tap him in the face with his left at will But the blows from Griffin's glove were suspicicusly lacking in force and would not have bruised fly. He did not even make Doyle wink with the blows in his face merely pecking him with his glove. The first two rounds furnished an interesting box ing exhibition in which Griffin showed lightning fast but could under no cir Iumsfanccs have been called a fight.
 Win Be Bitter Pill to Fight Game
 The whole thing is regrettable not from the effects upon the fighters rep utations or the pocketbools of the pro- motors. who booked a losing. but from fhe viewpoint of popularity of the game in Miami. That is where the big injury lies. The game has been suffering a decline in favor with the local fans. largely due to bad match making and poor promotion tactics. "A good card would have gone a long way toward re-estsb1shing the popu- larity of the fight game in Miami, which Justly should be one of the best fikht towns in the southwest. The poor exhibition of Saturday will give the sport another downward shove local w and is to be deeply deplored. The writer sees little hope for any inn provement until the game falls into abler hands than have managed it in Miami for several months past. Those who should profit most by clean, well matched and ably conducted bouts in this district have sorely wounded the goose that laid the golden egg fol them

LION AND LYNN,

They were big game hunters and they were trotting out their usual stock of "reminiscences.
 When each had told his best lie the only member of the party who had never been to Africa was asked to tell 3 Aory.
 "Wen, ID afraid I've nothing very exciting to tell you," he piped in a small still voice. 'I once had a small affair with a lion, but he was only a lion escaped from a menagerie. He bounded on me as he got clear of his enclosure-and, well, of course, wasn't armed"
 What on earth did you do?" chor- used the others.

WELSH FACES LONG ROAD-HOW FAR
 WILL HIS RING COMEBACK" GOMEZ?
By DEAN SNYDER

I'm going to win the lightweight title back
 That's what Freddie Welsh said inn mediately after Benny Leonard knocked him off back in 1917.
 The little, welshman from Ponty- pridd established a health farm in New Jersey as his training camp. All the ring celebrities have visited him there. But they never took his ambi- ton seriously. They do now.
 He opened his campaign the other night with Chicago Willie Green at Newark. Willie was technically ka- yoed when he failed to respond for an encore after four rounds. He had a dislocated shoulder.
 First Conquest
 It wasn't much of a triumph for Freddie to boast of. Yet he is satis- fled.
 Going to fight my way back to Leonard" he said after his first con- quest.
 But such boys as Willie Jackson Richie Mitchell, Lew Tender and Ed over the 34-year-old ex-champ's reap pearance.
 Before he lifted the crown from Will lie Ritchie in 1914, Freddie used tC punch his opponents to sleep. He stacked them up when he was trying
 Human Fights 1 But after he got the toga his motto was Tive and let live" Scores O. 1 times he was outpointed, but the no decision agreement kept his title ir { bond. As long as he wasn't knocked out he was content. Welsh has been called human 1 fighter. To encourage the corners ant let 'em all make money was the angl' from which he played his champion ship. The knockouts he was capabl of delivering were never unloosed be cause he wanted the other fellow t make money.
 Once in a while some chap woul' get rough with him. Then Freddl showed his stuff.
 Money Given
 Big purses hadn't come along whel he was carrying the palm. He eve lost money when he took the title ava from Ritchie over in London.
 The jangle of big money is sire call hard to let pass unanswered. However, none of the comeback boys ever come back very far.
 Fighting stamina once allowed to g unexpressed goes out forever, usually So Freddie's first triumph is perhap but just a whisper" of a hope that to go unfulfilled.

THE TIP.HuNTER,s GUIDE

Speaking of tips and tipping, a New York bellhop not long ago formulated q set of rules, a few of " hich we give below:
 Don't waste time on "big bugs"
 Shower attention on women; if they tip at all, they tip literally.
 Don't persecute tightwads: shame them with faultless service.
 Play the hzheymooners hard; newly we'd men like to make a splurge before their brides.
 Don't act ugly when a guest departs without tipping you. Have a heart! Perhaps the office cleaned him out Boston Transcript.

Editor, The Silver State: l believe
you are about right in concluding the
way to do away with the bootlegger
is to have the government handle
liquors. Your editorial of yesterday
contained lot of sense for q person
who will see and is not so afraid of
becoming contaminated they will take
trouble to look.
believe, however, that should gov
eminent liquor stores be established
they should be riCidly controlled and
rules laid down that will mean some
thing. l think the tendency should
be to reduce the quantity of liquor
and the freedom with which it may
be obtained, es years go by. in hope
that in years to come generation
shall come that will not want alcohol.
Then 1t can be done away with for
ever. Yours very truly.

BOOKS FOR DISABLED HEROES
Congress Appropriates 100000 for
Reading Material for Soldiers
Confined to Hospitals.

Disabled heroes of the World war
are not to be without good books to
read while they are fighting to regain
health in the hospitals Of this coun-
try. Congress has appropriated in the
civil sundry bill the sum Of $100.ON
for the purchase of books. with the
result that each OF the $4,000 disabled
veterans will soon have three or four
new books to read.
The American Library association,
which still has charge Of the libraries
in the larger hospitals. has been en-
barrassed by a shortage of. funds, and
up to this time posts of the American
Legion have taken over the duty of
supplying books TO the disabled In
hundreds of the smaller hospitals. The
appropriation by congress does not
mean that either the services Of the
American Library association or the
American Legion in this respect are to
be dispensed with. but that they are
to be greatly augmented and rein
forced.
