FORSAKES STAGE FOR RING

Leonard Mahoney of Baltimore at
the age of IL years was called "the
boy nightingale"
Eight years later he possessed a
tenor that drew him an offer from
Fiske O'Hara to tour the country
with him.
In the meantime Mahoney's tickle
nature got him into the boxing ring.
And besides a tenor voice he pos
sessed an Adams apple
A few days after, the offer from
O'Hara came Mahoney, stepped into
the arena to do battle with tough
Baltimore rival. This uncouth per-
son hit Mahoney on the Adams apple.
and Knocked it little further down
his throat
That punch caused Mahoney to
lose his voice. However. he has
found a new profession in the ring,
He's leaping forward rapidly in the
lightweight class and bids fair to
become one OF the fistic stars of the
country.
Young Mahoney, as he t. known to
fistic fans of the east. believes the
Adams apple will in time get back to
its normal position and that he will
recover his tenor voice.
Mahoney, however. has given up
his ambition to rival John McCor-
mack Instead he has his eve on the
the lightweight title held by Benny
Leonard.

Rain Halts First
Clash For Valley
Basketball Title

The heavy precipitation Of Monday
night and Tuesday morning caused a
postponement yesterday of the sched-
uled basketball conflict at Tempe
between Tempe Normal and Gilbert
high school for the valley champion-
ship. At the normal, where the gym
nasium is not equipped for basket
ball, the games are played on an
outdoor court and the heavy rainfall
left the court in a sea of water.
Coach Cooper said yesterday after
noon that arrangements will in all
probability be made TO play the
initial game of the three game series
on Friday afternoon on the normal
court. The second game would then
follow next week at Gilbert. and
the decisive game, if necessary, will
be in the L. ID. S. auditorium in
Mesa.
The normal won the class A valley
league with six games won and none
lost. Gilbert won the B league series
with Z victories and one defeat.

NEFF SIGNS To
BOX ALGER HERE
MONDAY EVENING

Chet Neff, one of the most popu-
lar lightweight boxers that ever
appeared before a Phoenix crowd, has
accepted terms to meet Billy Alger,
Phoenix champion, in a 10-round
main event before the American Le-
gion at the Coliseum theater next
Monday night. Neff leaves Los An
geles this morning for Phoenix.
Chet comes to do battle with Alger
in place of Otto Wallace. who had
previously accepted terms offered
him by the local matchmaker. But
when Billy stopped O'Leary Monday
night, Wallace Immediately raised
the ante, Got to have more money"
he wired.
Then it was that the club match
maker began looking around for
some other suitable opponent for the
fast travelling Phoenix boy. Neff is
the result Of this search.
The Seattle battler will give Alger
a better argument than Wallace, for
Chet demonstrated his superiority
over the Milwaukeean here two years
ago. He beat Wallace every round
in a 10 round bout but got only a
draw from the referee.
If Alger succeeds in stopping Neff
within the distance, it will be the
biggest feather he has added TO his
pugilistic cap Chet is regarded as
one of the biggest lightweights in
the west and held the lightweight
title OF this section for many months.
Chet promises to be in good shape
for Alger when they meet next Mon
day night. He has been training
diligently for the past several weeks
and could step into the ring as soon
as he reaches this city, he wired.
Butt he will have several days TO
work here after he arrives. He viii
reach Phoenix tomorrow morning.
The Alger- Neff fight should be one
OF the best witnessed here in months.
Both are of the rugged type, willins
TO exchange blows, and there should
be plenty of action when they mir

The magnates of the Pacific Coast
league have gone on record as op-
posed to the draft.
The other. two big minor leagues,
the International and the American
association, have practically reached
the same decision.
That means that the three big
minor leagues of the country have
arrayed themselves together against.
the two major leagues, as we'll as
the minor organizations who look on
the draft with favor.
There are two sides to every ques-
ton. 1t is very easy to justify the
position of the three big minor
leagues. Within the last three
months some Of the clubs have re-
ceived as much for one player as
they wo,id get under the draft in a
dozen years for that many players.
The San Francisco. club received
$4,000 for O'Conuell II the drats
had been in force the very best
OConnell would have brought would
have teen $500. just tenth Of
Ire amount actually received.
It IS easy to figure why the Pa
cific Coast league would decide TO
turn down the draft by merely APP
nlying the ale; Of common selse 10
that one particular case. Why BIND
yourself to 8 contract that makes
the limit of your possibilities 5000
when you can get ten times thai
much by being free lance?
Then there is the other side, the
barrier that. such a scheme sets up
between the player and the goal of
his ambition, working his way up
| to the big league. Likewise, it elinni-
mates the chance of gradual progress
sion that is open to the players from
| the smallest minor organization up
to the big leagues.
The players is really the hardest
/ hit by the failure to agree on draft
rule With the present methods the
majors take a chance only on the
players who they feel have a fine
| chance to deliver. The promising
player who seems to have ability but
4 lacks experience and polish is over
looked.
The player also suffers from the
standpoint of salary. While the
minors pay good money, they must
keep salaries in proportion to the
gate. The attendance and the prices
at the minor league games, even
the big Three" who have opposed
the draft, in no way compares with
the major league standards. Once
again the player suffers.
It will be interesting to note the
attitude that the majors take at the
February meeting. The minor
leagues who have opposed the draft
! have come out in the open. VIII the

Mr.. Porter loftily ignores the ques-
tions of how and when the creditors
of the closed banks are to be paid off.
or what plans, if any, the State Guar
anty Fund Commission has for pay
ing them off. He fails to tell us the
amount collected from the open banks
for the State Guaranty Fund and
where these funds are kept, he does
not tell US whether or not the State
Guaranty Fund Commission has loan
ed some of these funds to or made a
deposit of them in favored banks. The
people who have their life savings
tied up in the closed banks are at
least entitled to a little information
about the conduct Of their own busi-
ness affairs.

newing one note and only collecting
$500 is qualified with the statement
that he has been so Informed" he
has had access to all records Of the

to make such an ignorant, untrue
statement.
In one deal alone, the N. O. Grasby

Of Mr.. Grasby, and against the bank,
which had commenced an appeal from
the decision. After making number

that my efforts as peacemaker had

Mr.. Porter further makes the state
ment that there were no other bidders
at the Sherif''s Sale, Nov. 13, last. did
he want any other bidders but him
self? Or his man? Do his actions

| one cannot expect M. r Porter to put
his stamp Of approval on a receiver
that is so presumptuous as to even
question Mr.. Porter's unselfishness
and disinterestedness in these differ
ent connections and transactions.
Near the end of his epistle, we dis
cover for the first time that the North
ern Trust Company is sub-agency,
branch or side-bidder for the State
Guaranty Commission, and that the
! Northern Trust Company, holds all
the sold notes in trust for the State
Guaranty Fund Commission, below
he further informs US, that the def
cheney Judgment Of $3,532.22 taken by
the Northern Trust Company against
o. A. Saastad, at the Sheriff's Sale,
has been paid and satisfied. This tidy
little sum is apparently now held in
trust for the Guaranty Commission
or is it held in trust for the Trust
Company? The release of the def
cheney Judgment by the Northern
Trust Company from the records was
made on November "a, 1922, just
two days after the writing of my first
article on Nov. %, on the Sheriff's
Sale of Assets. Could it be just pos
sible that the arrangement with the
Trust Company to hOld the notes OF
the sale in trust was also made after
the publicity given the Sheriff's Sale
of Assets in the public press? Has
the State Guaranty Fund Commission
any other sub-agencies or branch Of
fees anywhere else, holding notes and
assets Of closed banks sold at Sher-
ifs Sales, in trust for the Guaranty
Commission? Have they any right,
under the State Guaranty Law, to do
so?
On June p, 1922, last, the S22 900
worth Of collateral notes held by the
First National Bank Of Minneapolis,
Him., were also all sold, at a Sher-
id's Sale, at the Henncpin County
Court House in Minneapolis, Mimi, to
1ati.-fy their claim against the Saw
or State Bank for their bills pay
able, amounting to S9,476.46, the
