Bobby Michaels
Seeks Bout With
Phoenix Battler

Billy Doc Morris writes that Bobby
Michaels is anxious to fight in Phoe-
nix at an early date. Michaels is
spending a months vacation in Los
Angeles and while on the coast will
be under Morris management. Nor
ris says he Is anxious to match Mi
chaels with Billy Alger, Scranton
Tommy Murphy Billy Mccain or any
boy the local promoters name.
The Los Angeles Times gives Mi
chaels a big boost In the following
story printed in Sunday morning 8
issue.
SLUGGER AIICHAELS
HERE SOR SCRAPS
Bobby Michaels, whom Billy (Doc)
Morris declares to be the hardest
hitting lightweight in the world, ar
rived on town yesterday looking fit
to step into the ring with few days
training. Bobby is a rang chap and
looks like powerful walloper. He
has been standing most of his oppo-
nents on their ears up north, and as
the fans this this section dearly love
leather pusher that can qualify as
a professor of sociology, Bobby
ought to make himself solid.
Bobby comes here under instruc-
tions from Manager Leo P. Flynn,
direct to Billy (Doc) Morris, who
has already lii ed his charge up for y
few dates. II Bobby is as good as
Morris ays ne is. Vernon and Hol-
lywood promoters had better tend
out an S. o S. signal for Benny
Leonard. According to Morris, Bobby
hits entirely too hard for the rest of
the lightweights to stand up for more
than few rounds.

AID FOR SHIPPERS
Harding Urges Payment of 81
Million Ship Subsidy
Annually.
PLAN GIVEN CONGRESS
Administration Program Transmitted
to Law Makers at Joint Session
Merchant Marine Cited as
Defense Aim.

Washington - The administration
plan for government aid for the Amer
lean merchant marine was presented
to Congress by President Harding,
with the declaration that the infiu-
ence of the United States in world
councils is "sure to be measured by
that unfailing standard which is found
in nations merchant marine"
Wartime Tonnage Creation.
The President detailed to the two
houses assembled in joint session the
wartime creation of Americas great
tonnage-an experimental venture as
he described it-and then he added:
Having failed at such enormous
cost, l bring you the proposal which
contemplates the return to private ini-
tiative and private enterprise, aided
to conservative success, wherein we
are safeguarded against the promotion
of private greed, and do not discour-
age the hope of profitable investment,
which underlies all successful endeay-
or"
Salient Points in Proposal.
The salient points of this proposal
embodied in bills introduced in each
House Immediately after the Presi-
dents address follow:
Aid estimated at $32,000,000 annual
ly to be provided for principally by
diversion of 10 per cent of the nations
customs receipts;
Requirement that not more than so
per cent of the immigrants to the
United States be transported in for
eign ships
Sale of the tonnage now held by the
Shipping board and use of the funds
as a construction loan fund.
Authorization for induction of Amer
lean merchant men, officers and sail
ors into the naval reserve with the
attendant allowance in pay.
Suggests Indirect Aids.
The President then detailed num-
Der of indirect aids, mentioning in
this connections:
Amendment of the Interstate Com
merce act to permit railway system
to own and operate steamship lines
engaged in other than coastwise
trade;
Making effective this section of the
merchant marine act providing for
preferential rail and steamship rates
on through shipments on American
vessels;
Insurance available at no greater
cost than is afforded ships under for
eign flags.
Mr. Harding emphasized the import
ance of national merchant marine
Gin view of suspended naval construc-
tion," declaring that without it, mo
nation may hope to hold a high place
in the world of commerce or be as
sured of adequate defense"
Second Defense Line.
"The merchant marine is universal
ly recognized as the second line Of
naval Defense" he added. at is in
dispensable in the time of great ma
tional emergency"

DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
German Submarine Commander Who
Sank Lusitania Also Now at
Bottom of Sea.

The commander of the German sub
marine that sank the Lusitania is now
at the bottom of the sea, according to
a story which has reached American
Legion headquarters. Flogged and
flung over the side of a Paraguan war
vessel, he met death with a dose Of
his own medicine.
The story is that the commander,
fleeing from allied justice, took refuge
in Paraguay, where he at once took
out naturalization papers and swore
allegiance to the Paraguan republic.
Friends in the shipping world secured
for him the command of a Paraguan
man-o'-war, the Adolph Riquelmi. He
had hardly set his heel upon the decks
when he inaugurated the rules which
had been his custom, The crew, with
their Latin blood, could not stomach
the diet as the stolid Teutons had
done In the old days. So they passed
him around for beating, and then
threw him into the sea, far from sight
Of land.
