Arizona republican., 1921-08-30

crafty Mexican keeps right on beat ing 'em and gathering in the sixty end of the purse.
 Lefty Lewis aspired to be local nero and drop Scotty lower than the price of a saloon license. Lewis was a clever youngster Is or 20 years ago and he still retains much of his old time cleverness, but the brunette southpaw can't wait it out.
 Battling Scotty hammered Lewis into a corner in the final session or theil four round affair last night and when he got through slamming rights and lefts to Lewis body Lefty forget whether he crawled into the ring to fight or run a foot race. Scotty didn't even dent Lewis jaw but he piled up enough points in the fourth round to win two or three fights.
 Lewis opened a nasty gash over Scotfy's left eye in the third round when they bumped heads. The gore streamed--that was all. Lewis land ed several hard wallops to Scotty's mid section that put fear in the Mex ican's heart and kept Scotty at a safe distance. Lefty had pretty feint a nice waliop and a mean look, but when he came to using them on Scotty the only thing he got away with was the wicked glance. Referee Heglee gave Scotty the de- cision which was deserved.
 YoIng Mike Scores Again
 Young Mike was due for licking last night in his scheduled round bout with Larry Murry. but Larry connected with a wicked right and the ring post in the fourth round and his troubles ended.
 Murray dropped into town with big town rep. but his physical condi- tion was not what it should be and he blew up early. The first round placed Larry among the real clever boys and he danced all around Mike. That was his finish and Mike romped home after that. Murry looks like good boy and it was unfortunate that he went in against tough youngster Luke Mike without training.
 Mike had all that most main eventers claim and a few extra. He shot from all angles, took a few and forced Murrx to cover after the first session. Murray staggered Mike just once with a right to the head show ing that he has good kick
 The fourth stanza had passed the 6o-second mark when Mike planted his right on Larry's jaw. Larry reeled into the corner and bounced out with Mike waiting with another to the same spot that raised Mur- rays head against the lamp post. Larry hit the floor so hard the ref cree forgot to count and Mike gets credit for another kayo.
 Sam Blows Again
 Young Rivers showed Battling Sam that he has no business fighting in rrff l. xrrifl a punch. Rivers was the aggressor for four rounds. punishing Sam from head to belt. Sam wasted his energy displaying footwork and swinging wild blows while Rivers was fighting. Sam opened an old gash between Rivers eyes. Both boys were tired at the finish and Referee Heglee used good judgment in giving the decision to the Mexican kid.
 Rufus the Two Gypped
 Rufus the Second had a hard struggle with Young Romo in the curtain raiser and the best he could get was a draw. It was Referee Heglee's only bad decision of the evening.
 Romo ended the first round with a big advantage. Rufus was scared and figured it was no disgrace to run. He covered several miles ahead of Romo, stopping occasionally to take a few raps on the jaw. In the second things changed and Rufus the Two went out with instructions which read the mid section. He upset Romo' s supper and took all the fight out of the boy. Romo protected his stom- ach as best he could and landed a few slow ones to Rufus head The colored boy fought himself to draw in the second and in the third Romo doseed 1t. Rufus kept poking Romo' s stomach and Romo was peeved, but couldn't say much. Rufus had easy stepping in the third and fourth When the gong ended the third round Romo flopped into his chair with less confidence that Rufus could be easily licked and when the fourth ended ht knew that Rufus was not whipped It was a nice scrap at that.
 The entire card was good and wei worth the price of admission.
 The arena was not packed but th' crowd was pleased with the evening fights and few disgruntled fans lef the arena when Mike rocked Murra, \ to sleep.
 Preliminary night works to the ad' vantage of both fans and fighters al ii gives the public chance to se' what the home boys can do and
