Boxing

Boxing reached a new high mark
in Phoenix in 1921 opening the new
year with the Reed Meetsan bout at
the Eighth Street arena January 1.
Meehan lost to Wild Bill Reed on a
foul in the tenth round. The boxing
game was closed for 90 days fol-
lowing the Reed Meehan bout and
Reed left for the east where he met
with many reverses.
Boxing is conducted In Phoenix
under the auspices Of the American
Legion. When the 90-day closing
decree expired, Harrison Williams
was named Legion matchmaker, sue
ceeding B. III. McAhren. He pro-
NOTED the bouts until September 16
when financial difficulties closed the
Eighth Street arena.
Jake Erhardt was appointed Le-
gion matchmaker when Williams
withdrew from the fight game. The
first important bout matched by Err
hardt was the Charlie White Freddie
Hill contest staged at the Eighth
Street arena Thanksgiving day.
White stopped Hill in three rounds,
but treated the fans to a boxing
exhibition such as never before seen
in Phoenix.
The most important bout of the
year was held at the Eighth Street
arena MAY 80 when Lee Anderson
forced Kid Norfolk to quit at the end
OF the ninth round, giving Anderson
the light heavyweight colored cham
pionship of the world. Anderson

Track and Field

Phoenix high school won both
valley and state honors on track
and field in 1921 and Charley Gille-
land of the Coyotes was individual
high man at both meets.
The annual Coyotes Indian meet
was won by the Indians 1880 on
April 2. Gilleland of Phoenix made
the highest individual score with 16
points.
Phoenix high, Tempe Normal,
Mesa high, Gilbert high and the
Phoenix Indians competed in the
valley championship track and field
meet held at Tempe April 16. Phoe-
nix and the Indians tied for first
place with AZ points each, but under
the A. A. A. u. rules in case of a
tie the team scoring the highest
number of first points is declared
the winner Phoenix had 35 firsts
and the Indians had 80 first giving
the Coyotes the valley championship
and the Arizona Republican silver

Gilleland scored 23 points at the
Tempe meet.
The Coyotes invaded Tucson dur

Basket Ball

Valley school basket ball teams
were divided into two classes during
the season of 1921, the larger high
schools and Tempe Normal compris-
ing Glass A league and the smaller
high schools and the valley gram
mar schools were entered in Class b.
Phoenix high school finished first
in the Class A league beating Mesa
out of the pennant by one game.

Two Boxing Arenas
The Capital City arena. Sixteenth
and Jefferson streets, was opened
September % with Young France and
frankie Farren, fighting a 10-round
draw. The Capital City arena, like
the Eighth Street arena, is an open.
air stadium which win not permit
winter bouts. The Legion contracted
with the Ramona theater to hold
regular weekly bouts and later Sc
cured the old Coliseum theater where
weekly bouts are now being held.
Matchmaker Erhardt plans holding
bouts at the Coliseum until April,
when the Eighth Street arena will
again be used for open air contests.
The attendance at the boxing con-
tests has been very good despite the
numerous cards that proved little
better than preliminary programs.
Many good local boys were developed
during the year in the preliminary
class and several give promise of
making good main event boxers.
Young Mike gained reputation as
a knockout fighter, through nine
straight victories via the kayo
route.
Young Arnold, Eddie Lovett, Bat
Ting Scotty, Joe Grimm and Young
Rivers are other local youngsters
who made good during the past year
and who have good future II
properly coached.
With two arenas staging fights,
there is little chance of either club
being a financial success unless they
can get together on system of
dividing dates. Thanksgiving day
White and Hill boxed at the Eighth
Street arena and Sam Langford and
Lee Anderson boxed at the Capital
City arena. The crowd was split be-
tween the two arenas and the foot
ball game, and both clubs suffered
heavy financial losses.
One fight each week is enough for
Phoenix fans and unless the clubs
can come together along these lines
the fight game will not prosper this
year.
Phoenix Boxing Commission
Following the failure of the Eighth
Street arena in September, the city
commission named boxing commits
sion of five members to supervise
governing the conduct of all bouts
within the city limits. The boxing
commission drafted new boxing
and wrestling ordinance which was
passed by the city commission and
is now in effect. The ordinance gives
the boxing commission complete
control of the issuance of permits
and the regulation of bouts within
the limits of the city of Phoenix.
The Capital City arena is outside
the city limits and cannot be con-
trolled or regulated by the city box
ing commission. Plans are now
under way to effect an agreement
with the board of supervisors where
by the boxing commission will work
with the county in supervising all
bouts in Maricopa county.
Boxing is a good clean sport If
properly conducted and events of the
past year demonstrated the neces-
sity of closer supervision of the
game. both for the protection Of the
fans and the fighters.

and Winslow high lost to the Gate
City 66-7 Next year Mesa will have
a strong team in the field.
The Indian school played few out
side games and the other Indian
schools were completely outclassed

Phoenix boys. Sacaton reservation
schools played many home games,
