MOORE GRIFFIN
EFEREE GIVES
T ANS SOME THING
To TALK AbOU I.

The referee question has started
sizzling and the next few days will
find plenty of argument along that
line. Matchmaker Mccoy has COM
municated with three prominent
sporting men in California and Hy
Schneider, sports editor of the Ell
Paso Times. Nothing definite can be
decided on the referee question with
out the approval of Moore and Griff-
in. Mccoy wired Moore the names
of three possible referees and expects
a reply from the uncrowned bantam
today or tomorrow. Moore suggested
letter, but the distance practically
eliminates Pollock.
Dick Griffin missed his stage yes
terday morning and a good sized
crowd of fans were disappointed
when he failed to report at the Six
teenth Street arena to workout yes
terday afternoon. However a long
distance call from Griffin yesterday
afternoon brought the cheering in
formation that he will leave Globe
this morning and will arrive here this
afternoon. This will permit him to
rest a few hours and work at the
Capital City stadium at p. m.
The evening workout makes hit
with the fans who are unable to get
off during the afternoon to watch
the boys train. Yesterday afternoon
large delegation of fans journeyed
| out to the arena and the boys went
through a strenuous workout. With
Griffin and Mike added to the train
ing program today the fans will be
treated to a nice boxing program

Tuesdays bout gives Griffin his

meeting with Johnny Buff. 1t is a

! champion into bout. On the other

meeting was under no decision laws
Moore meets Babe Asher at Denver
/ Friday evening in a 12-round decision
bout. Asher is one of the thoughest

him in a difficult role as another de-

MANAGEMENT running
PHOENIX AS SPORT CENTER

|, sport pedestal where We prided our
selves a few years ago.
Here's the Silver Belts rap at
Phoenix:
"Again Phoenix sportsmen attempt
ed to put something over on Miami
fans when the Phoenix American
Legion ball club was sent over here
yesterday to play the locals. In
yesterdays game Miami played their
usual brand of alright ball, while the
Phoenicians put up the usual brand
seen in the Capital cftY-rotten."
at seems to be the prevalent i'm.
preston in Phoenix that Miami is
hick town, and that any sort Of sports
contest can get by here. as the fans
are a bunch of dunbeIIs. Nothing
could be further away from the truth.
There is not a fan in Miami but
KNOWS sports, and certainly the fans
here are entitled to first -cIass cards"
Yesterdays farce was emphatically
NOT the fault of the local baseball
heads, for the Legion team (which,
incidentally, was made up largely of
high school boys) was reputed to have
cleaned up nearly everything in the
Salt River valley, and the local noguls
felt that with the signing of that team
Miami fans would be treated to some
real baseball. Don't blame the Miami
moguIs. They were acting in per-
fectiy good faith."
"We always figured Phoenix as
first class sports city. However, after
seeing the brand Of baseball turned
out by the valley clubs, we are forced
to change our mind. Nothing could
hurt the game more than the poor
showing made by the valley clubs
against good aggregation of ball
tossers, and il looks to be very prob
able that the Capital City will be
eliminated from figuring, as far as
this district is concerned"
'.In fact, the Tucson high school
baseball champions of the state in
prep. school circles. could 90 into the
valley and make a clean sweep o.
everything there. We have often
wondered why the Phoenix high
school has never figured in a state
high school baseball title race. but
now we know"
Casey -Woodmen Game
The Casey Woodmen game lost
many loyal fans and the players will
soon be kicking because there is no
attendance at the games.
The Merchants went over to Miami
few weeks ago and lost two games
to the Concentrator City. There was
no excuse for sending the Merchants
to play against Miami at any time.
Miami has one Of the best. IL not the
best. team in the Southwest, yet the
weakest Phoenix team was sent over
there to open the season. The Mer-
chants nave lost every game played
in Glass B in the valley and yet they
We're sent to play the strongest team
in the state. The game hurt baseball
at Miami and hurt Phoenix baseball
standing. The fans at Miami were
led to believe that the Merchants had
a real club. one that would give Miami
fight. The Merchants lost the first
game % to and was attended by
close to 1000 fans. The second game
was lost to Miami by about 16 to 2
and was attended by less than 100
fans.
1T was not enough to give Phoenix

The following editorial by Ed
Harrington, sports editor of The
Arizona Republican, on the local
sports situation is not aimed at
any certain team, player. manager
or promoter. but is q constructive
criticism given in an effort to
remedy conditions in Phoenix
sport circles, and to correct the
false impression of Phoenix ath-
ietics that prevails in other parts
of the state.
Phoenix has long enjoyed the repu-
tation of being the best sports city III
the country, but those who profit
from sports and should be working at
all times to add to the good repu-
tation, are knocking the props from
under every line of sports in this city.
Not only have local fans lost faith in
their own home town. but other sec
tions of the state ridicule Phoenix
claims to sport fame.
It's either a feast or famine down
here; one week boxing fans enjoy a
couple of good bouts and then the
game closes for another month. When
a really good card is offered the fans
are slle2tical and hesitate to take a
chance. Unless the petty chickering's
and arguments are forgotten it will
not be long until boxing is a thing OF
the past down here. The proposed
Moore Griffin card next Tuesday eve
ming will go d long ways towards
improving the boxing game in the
Southwest and deserves boosting. 1t
will bring hundreds of visitors to the
city and if the out of town sports find
friction here they will not be quick to
forget the bad news when they get
back home.
Two good boxing cards each month
are sufficient for Phoenix and Will
satisfy the craving of the fans. A
card each week. and sometimes two in
one week, cannot pay and peeves the
faithful fans who are unable to at
tend both The Disabled Veterans
and American Legion could realize
more money from boxing by staging
two big bouts each month, than
under the present conditions. Boxing
is practically the only source of reve-
nue. open to the ex-service men and
they should protect their own inter-
ests by eliminating friction.
Baseball Conditions Bad
The baseball situation is even worse
than the boxing mix-up. At least IL
teams are trying to play baseball in
the valley and While some star players
are found on nearly every line UP
Phoenix does not boast one first class
team. When the plan was first ad-
yanced for six team Central Ari-
zona league it was suggested that the
Phoenix teams combine to form one
good club, but the rivalry among the
managers prevented the carrying out
of the plan and baseball is again IN
the rut where it finished last season.
Last Sunday the White SoX and
Caseys were booked to play at River
side park. but the White Sox decided
TO ACCEPT a game at Nogales and local
fans were left to enjoy their favorite
pastine as best they could. The re-
suit was a game between one of the
leading Glass A teams and the best
team in Class B. The score is to
tells the story in a few words.
The following article taken from the
Miami Daily Silver Belt is sample
of the feeling that prevails through
out the state. 1t will take more than
talk to place Phoenix back on the

in the southwest. Press reservations
have necessitated two full rows for
the newspaper correspondents COM
ing from Arizona cities FL Paso and
Los Angeles. The Associated Press
will have a special representative at
the fight to cover the main event for
papers throughout the country. Spe-
cial writer's will take care of stories
for Arizona papers and the Ell Paso
Times will have a special CORE
spondent.
McCoys biooest worry is how to
handle the crowds next Tuesday eve
ming and he has already arranged for
three additional ticket booths at the
arena. The members of the Dis
abled American Veterans of the
World war will act as ushers to see
that the fans are seated with the
least possible confusion.
A message was received from Ajo
yesterday asking for six ringside
seats. Two tickets were mailed to
San Bernardino and a pair of ducats
went to Tia Juana last night. Every
city in the southwest will be repre-
sented at the ringside when the gong
sounds for the biggest boxing pro-
gram ever held in the state.
