|SYL. vESTER WILL
REACH PHOE NIX
EARLY THURSDAY

Young Sylvester, accepting last
minute engagement to box tonight on
the regular Tuesday card at Holly
wood will not reach Phoenix until
Thursday morning for his 10-round
bout with Mike Doyle, according to a
wire received by the American le-
gion matchmaker late yesterday aft
ernoon. Assurance was given, how
ever, that Sylvester would be on hand
Thursday and would work out at the
legion arena, Eighth and Washing
ton streets, in the afternoon.
Mike also gets into action tonight
in a 10-round main event at Miami.
He leaves the copper belt on a spe-
ciai stage Wednesday morning, ar
riting in Phoenix shortly after noon
and will don his training togs for the
Wednesday afternoon grind.
The popularity of the principals of
the main event Friday night is shown
by their bouts tonight. Sylvester is
in great demand on the coast and the
legion matchmaker was fortunate in
getting his services, especially at this
time But Sylvester has hopes of
winning name and fame in the fistic
game and for this reason is anxious
to try the Marathon route. He is
contemplating a trip East this win
ter and realizes that he must be fitted
for the longer grind if he hopes to
achieve any success against the tough
crop of Fasteners.
Young Arnold is getting into good
trim by hard work each day and
will be ready to go at top speed when
he climbs through the ropes Friday
night against Tiny Refeld in the SIX
round semi final he announced. Ar
mold always has been faithful TO
training regulations and has suffered
comparatively little through his long
layoff, Judging from his work in the
training camp. However. the real
test will come Friday night against
the little Prescott demon.
Refeld always is ready for a hard
go, so fans will be treated to hard
battle when the pair gets together
Refeld is one of the gamesu little
fellows ever to show in Phoenix
ring and against Arnold he seems to
be at the top of his old. A long
standing rivalry exists between the
pair and the boys will be out for
blood when they meet for the tnird
time Friday night.
Two other events also Will be IN
cluded on the four-card program. but
as yet no announcement has been
made as to the lineup in the first
two events. Assurance is given, how
ever that they will be up to standard
Both will be four round events.

CASEYS CONVINCED
MIAMI VALLEY HAS
BASEBALL TALENT

Miami and Globe fans are now will
ing to admit that Phoenix can send
a first class baseball team to the
Copper Camp when it comes to a
show down.
The Caseys went over to the con-
centrator city Sunday afternoon and
defeated the fast Miami club 1914 on
their home lot. Wild Bill MCGOWAN
took to the club house in three ia
nings and Les Quinn forced to give
the Caseys five runs in five and two
thirds innings.
Quinn held the Caseys down for
two innings, but he weakened in the
sixth after Carroll dropped Hudlow's
long fly to right allowing Joyce to
score. Hickey famed and Westfall
hit for two bases scoring Cooper and
Hudlow.
Miami played a good game. but the
Caseys cutclassed them with the will
low slamming the ball when hits
meant runs. Murphy, Goodwin. Col
den, Cooper and Hudlow accepted
every chance offered them without a
boot. Golden played brilliant game
on the keystone position. hewitt was
not at his best, but perfect support
pulled him through.
Miami was weak on base running
apparently fearing to take a chance
at stealing with Westfall pegging
accurately.
The Caseys will play the White
Sox at Riverside park next Sunday.
This game should prove interesting
in view of the keen rivalry between
the two clubs.
Manager Geenan requests all mem
bers of the Casey team to report for
practice at Riverside park at $3.50
o'clock this evening.

SEVEN YEAR CELLAR CHAMPS
1922 BASEBALL SENSATIONS
BY BILLY EVANS

Philadelphia's Athletics. team
that finished in last place each sea-
son for the last seven years, has been
the sensation of the first two months
of the American league campaign.
Connie Mack's organization, going
through long and tedious process
uf reconstruction, apparently has ar
rived.
However. the reason for the sudden
turn of events in the life and habits
of the team is due not wholly to the
gaen that Mack has had under him for
the last few years. On the contrary,
the bulk of the credit is given to three
players who came to the Athletics
this year from other clubs. Pep
Young. second baseman, was secured
from Detroit; "Bing" Miller, center
fielder, came to Philadelphia from
Washington, and doc" Johnston,
first baseman, is from Cleveland.
Young's case is peculiar. Last
spring, as a member of the Detroit
team, Young suddenly developed
throwing weakness. He found it inn
possible to throw accurately to first,
particularly when there We're run
Eers on the bases. His bad throws
we're nearly all costly.
Nothing VisibIy Wrong
Several examinations of Young's
arm failed to reveal any physical
weakness and Young was suffering,
apparently, from a mental hazard
When he showed the same weak
ness this spring, Detroit decided that
Young could not overcome the fault
as long as he played with the Tigers
and so waivers were asked on him.
Connie Mack took him at the waver
price.
When Young reported to Mack the
Athletic boss asked him how his arm
wes and Young told him that It was
in fine shape.
"How's your throwing" asked
Mack.
"Bad"
you say your arm all right, but
that your throwing is bad. What is
the trouble?"
Mental, l guess
Il guess so, too. But my troubles
also are mental. For seven years l
have been managing ball clubs here
each year and that is enough mental
trouble for anyone. L can SYM
pathize with you.
Throw the Ball
Nov, / want you to do just one
thing for me and that is--throw tie
ball.
you are going to play second base.
You are going to play it alone. The
position is yours. Nobody is going
to give you any advice or interfere
with you and nobody Is going to
criticize you. All you have to do is
go out there and play second and
when you get that ball you throw it.
Now, 1 don't care if you throw it

HOLDS COLLEGE
TRACK RECORDS

The University of Pennsylvania
leads ali colleges in the matter of
intercollegiate records.
Some she nolds by herself alone.
In one or two she shares honors with
other institutions, as in the 220 yard
hurdles which the mark of 23 3-o
seconds, set on May 2S, 1889. by A. G,
Kraenzle'n, former Penn STAR who is
now coaching track athletics for his
alma mater. was equaled, but not
surpassc d, by J. l. Wendell of Wes-
leyan, on May 81, 1913.
Another of these records, 8 As sec
onds in the 100 yard dash. which
Pennsylvania shared with George
town and Michigan, was beaten by j
A. Leconey OF Lafayette, with 97-lO
at the in ercollegiate meet on May
27. To offset this, however, another
Pennsylvania athlete, G.. E.. Bronder
established the record of 185 feet S 5-1S
inches in javelin throw, a new event,
on the same date.
The tv Oldest intercollegiate rec
ords are held by Kraenzlein. One was
the 220 yard hurdles, and the other
established on May 81, 1899, was in
the running broadjump of "a feet Az
inches. which still stands the test
of time, though Kraenzlein has now
under his direction at Penn a pupil
Al Rose who, Kraenzlein thinks, has
an excele ent chance Of breaking the
old MARI before he leaves college
Rose, q sophomore, who has been
carefully coached by the old cham
pion, has done "a feet in practice.

Babe Ruth isn't a bit selfish or
jealous of the honors which were
conferred on Ken Williams while the
bambino was out of the game.
Following his return, Babe poled
out his first home run in his third
game of the year. Hitting against
Elan Van Glider of the st. Louis
Browns he smashed a fast ball into
the right field stands at the POLO
Grounds. That swat marked his
1922 debut as circuit hitter-his in

HERE 8 CHANCE
FOR MANAGERS
To PLAY SOME
REAL BASEBALL

The Arizona Republican sports edi-
or has received a communication
rom the secretary OF the Miami
baseball club asking for dates with
Phoenix clubs the latter part of June
and July.
The Miami club is particularly
anxious to arrange return games with
the Caseys, the White Sox and Mesa.
Manager Cass of Riverside park has
not completed his bookings for the
next few Sundays pending the out
come of the campaign to organize a
representative Phoenix team. But IN
view of the interest in baseball the
Republican sports editor has drafted
a tentative schedule for Class A
teams up to and including the games
of July A. The various clubs nave
rot been consulted in drafting this
schedule and if they wish to carry
ont the games listed it is up to them
to sign with the opposing clubs. There
is nothing compulsory in the tenta-
tive schedule, but in view of the riv-
airy between the Glass A teams and
the desire of the fans to see all teams
in action it is necessary that the clubs
get together under some schedule that
will give each club an even break.
The tentative schedule follows:
June II
At Riverside park-Caseys VS..
White Sox (already booked).
June 1919
At Riverside park-Giants VS.. Mo-
gales Infantry. effort now beng
made to book games for Emancipa
ton day.
June f8
At Mesa-Caseys VS.. Mesa. CAL
ready booked.)
At Tucsor-white Sox vs. Tucson,
or Sox VS.. Miami at Miami.
June 25
At Riverside parl-Caseys VS..
Miami.
At Mesa-White Sox VS.. Mesa.
At NogaIes-Giants VS.. Nogales.
July z
AT Riverside park-Mesa VS.
At Miami-White Sox VS.. Miami.
July 8
At Riverside park-Mesa VS.. White
Sox.
At Riverside park-White Sox VS.,
Caseys.
At Mesa-Giants VS.. Mesa.
This schedule would give the Glass
A teams q, chance to play other state
teams and eliminate duplicating
games between valley teams. After
the schedule has been carried out the
three Phoenix teams can book games
with Nogales and Tucson, or. if the
new Phoenix team is organized by
that time the schedule can be
changed
Mesa and the 6aseys have both
played at Miami and Miami mas
played one game at Mesa. But the
Miami team has not played in Phoe-
nix and the Sox have not played at
Miami.
The Miami club has the following
open dates which can be closed with
state teams through G. r. Payer, sec
retary of the Miami club.
June 25-(Preferably MAINLY
July Out of town game.
July 16-Open.
July 23-Preferably Miami
Julv, 30-Open.
If the Phoenix and Mesa teams are
willing to arrange a schedule cover
ing the games listed in the tentative
schedule the managers should get
tooether at once. While nothing def
mite has been received from Miami,
the Miners will probably be Wiling TO
book the games. Mesa is willing TO
work with the other teams and II
the Caseys. Sox and Giants are Will
ing, the schedule can be arranged
this week. assuring the fans some
good games and it will pave the way
for big baseball tournament now
being discussed in the southern part
