SYLVESTER AND.
DOYLE MATCHED.
FOR RETURN co.
ON JULY FOURTH

A second main event has been
signed by the American Legion
matchmaker for the big independence
Day program at the Eighth Street
arena a week from tonight IN the
signing of Mike Doyle and Young
Sylvester for a return bout at 10
rounds. This match, with the Jack
Lynch Johnny Cline, 10-round af-
fray, will give fans one of the best
fight programs offered in Phoenix IN
months.
Final arrangements for the Doyle
Sylvester match were completed last
night when the Legion matchmaker
received the following telegram from
Red Neumerkel. president OF the
Western Athletic club at Vernon:
"Will send Sylvester. Everything
o. K. He will be there in plenty of
time to comply with the boxing COM
missions regulations"
The Legion matchmaker has been
angling for this match for the past
two weeks, but it was not until yes
terday that satisfactory terms could
be arranged.
The return meeting between Doyle
and Sylvester is considered one OF
the big attractions of the season in
local fight circles. Phoenix fans
have been insistent in their demands
that the boys be brought together in
a second clash in the hopes OF set
Ting the issue of supremacy beyond
all question of doubt.
The first Doyle Sylvester bout was
as pretty box fight as has been
staged in Phoenix in months. The
two boys battled all the way. giving
tit for tat, and when the 10 rounds
uvo a ro6 l.
vester the winner. The decision met
with the popular approval of the
crowd, too.
However, Doyle's hackers believe
that he is a better man than Syl-
vester and there has been some ques-
ton in the minds of fans on this
point. too-enough that the demand
for a return engagement has been
shouted from a thousand fans.
Mike was not at his best when he
first met Sylves about a month ago.
He was decidedly off form, as was
indicated when he failed to take ad-
vantage of splendid opening in the
third frame to dispose of the Cali
fornia lightweight. Sylvesters ring
generalship in this contest served
him well and made it possible for
him to climb out victorious after be-
ing badly beaten in the first three
rounds.
Mike is rapidly getting back into
his old time fighting form. following
a minor operation a day or so ago.
Mike had been ailing for some time
but physicians were unable to locate
the seat of his trouble at first. They
finally succeeded and a minor opera
ton was performed. 1t is believed
that with the ailment cured, Mike
will regain the form that made him
one of the most popular boys ever
to appear in a Phoenix ring.
In fact, he was an altogether diff
ferent looking boy in training last
night that he has been in his last
couple of fights. He had more dash
and pep to his work and seemed to
be socking them home with greater
force. The way he tore into his
training partners was a caution.
The Legion matchmaker is rapidly
completing plans for the remainder
of the card. The Dick Campbell
Soldier Brown six-round affair will
be a special event and at least one
other number will be staged, a six
round opener.

The Seattle collegians, after one of
the most desperate spurts ever wit
messed in an intercollegiate rowing
association regatta, finished in 13
minutes 36 1-5 seconds.
Sensational as were the Junior var
sity race, won by Cornell, and the
freshman event, captured by Syra-
cuse, they were merely appetiZers of
the struggle which rowing enthu-
siasts had been looking forward to.
1t was 6:35 p. M, when the ref
cree sent the shells away. Hardly
had the spray of the first few strokes
subsidized before it was seen that
Pennsylvania was in difficulty. A
recall was sounded and the Quakers
padded back to the starting line
with a jumped slide. The damage
was quickly adjusted and at Gas

eight cared crew is still intercolle-
giate rowing champion of America.
In the greatest aquatic battle ever
held on the historic regatta course of
the Hudson, the middies this after
noon repeated their triumph of 1921
by winning the three mile varsity
race from the greatest collection or
college shells that ever rowed in a
similar race In the history of the
sport.
Forced to terrific speed by the re-
peated challenges of Cornell, Wash
ington and Syracuse. the sailors
from the Severn finally emerged vic
tors by one length over the University
of Washington eight, champions of
the Pacific coast. Scarce a length
behind the far coast shell came Syra-
cuse and Cornell, so closely locked
that it was only after long discus
sion among the JUICES at the finish
that the former was awarded the
third place over the Ithaca combina-
tion. Outdistanced almost from the
start, Columbia and Pennsylvania
fought out a duel of their own to
avoid last place, and in this the New
York collegians were successful, lead
ing the Quakers across the line long
after the other shells had ceased their
forward headway.
So bitter and gruelling was the
struggle almost from the start, OPP
posite the Columbia boat house, down
under the towering railroad bridge
and forward through the last mile in
a lane lined with yachts, excursion
steamers, submarines and submarine
chasers, that the MILDLY sweep swing
ers were forced to shatter all collie
giate rowing records in their efforts
to hold the lead. AS the prov of the
navy shell shot across the line, the
timers caught the flying crew in the
remarkable figures of 13 minutes,
80 3-5 seconds, thus shattering by
more than half a minute the record
made by the sailor shell when they
won last year by a full five lengths
from California in IA minutes sec
onds.

GAMBLING SPIRIT RUNS kRkRMINGLY
 HIGH IN MOSCOW

Moscow. Sept. 25.-There are five seat around the baccarat and roulette tables in the newly opened gambling Casino in Moscow, where the play runs high from o'clock in the evening un- til 10 the next morning.
 Frequenters of Monte Carlo and the other big European gaming places in the old days when Russian aristocrats went abroad Co spend their money always remember the Slavs as the most reckless and inveterate gamblers. A visit to the Moscow Casino today shows that all of the troubles of the Russian revolution have not changed them.
 Workmen, roughly dressed and un- shaven, with heaps of ten and hum dred million ruble notes in front of them, sit tensely watching the turn of a card at tables where, perhaps a a seat, leans over workman and asks nina. to place a bet for her, or pro- poses that they take the bank at baccarat together.
 Foreigners wonder where the play CTS get their money. Persons whose appearance suggest their readiness for the vagrancy court or the poor house dig heaps of Russian ruble notes, for elgn currency and even gold coins out or ragged coats, and lose or win bil- lions without outward appearance of elation or discomposure.
 The "big play" at baccarat is con- fined to one room, barred to all those except actual players. Here the min mum bet. is 50.000,000 rubles or. at present rates, about SIP in American money. From this minimum banks are frequently built up to many bill lions of rubles, equal to several thou sand dollars. At other tables the minimum bet is 1O,O0O,O00 rubles, or two and a half dollars. and these ta- bleS are in the open, with scores of anxious spectators crowding about those lucky enough to get places. The roulette wheel is operated only flor one hour each night, and here the maximum bets range from 3,000,- 600 rubles on a single number to 30, 100000 on color The wheel has two zeroes, instead of the usual of the house" at roulette are, in pro portion, twice those which the Monte Carlo gamblers reap from their wheels.
 At least s2oooOO changes hands tightly at this Casino, for the house. in taking five per cent. from each baccarat pct. reaps an average of about S10,000 night. Recently one ight's takings were 69,000, 900, 900 rubles.
 Prices that shock even hardened American tourists are demanded for refreshments served by the walters while the play is on. package of ten cigarettes of well known but very cheap brand, selling in England 1T the equivalent of ten cents, bring s million rubles or dollar and a l alf while small bottle of soda wa is served at the equivalent of 75 cents.
 Practically all of the gains of the of famine sufferers, or other worthy causes.
