and Soldier Brown in a four round
special Mccoy touched off the fire
works yesterday afternoon giving the
fans four main event bouts in one
evening. Young Mike is still the
popular idol of Phoenix boxing fans
and Mike expects to start his kayo
tour again when he meets Brown.
Much argument has been brewing in
the rival camps since Mike stopped
Brown in two rounds last winter and
Brown wants revenge. Fans who
attended that scrap remember how

and he was going on high in the sec

talent pretty well signed up with the
exception of Mike and with Mike and
Brown set for four round special

best. Any bout on the card would
pass for a main event at any time

have its best boxer on the program.
On Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week members of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World war
will canvas the business houses of
the city for the purpose of selling re-
served seats to the mammoth boxing

work they have been doing for the
last few months.

the Capital City arena the vets feel
they can pay off the heavy expense
Of staging the card and realize a nice
sum for the local treasury.

whom are suffering from tubercular
trouble. The majority OF the dis
abled men come here from outside
states and until their cases are taken
up by the government they are
taken care OF by the local organiza-
ton. Close to 1900 disabled vets
reside In the Phoenix district alone
Vets In Need of Funds
The cost of taking UP cases Of dis
abled ex- service men is paid by the
local organization. An office is main
tained in the Masonic building where
hundreds of requests for compensa-
ton are received weekly. Disabled
vets are given advice as to proper
procedure for obtaining compensa-
ton and all clerical work is fur
nished free of charge. The only
