Georges Willing
To Meet Greb At
,Boyles 80 Acres
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel


PARIS, May 25.-Georges Carpen-
tier is ready and anxious to defend
his title Of light Heavyweight cham
pion Of the world against Harry Greb
as soon as the best arrangements can
be made. He desires to show Ameri-
cans that. although beaten by a
heavier man he can hold his own
with anybody of his weight in the
world
In the absence Of Francois Des-
camps, Carpenters manager, who is
away in the country, no reply has
been sent to the offer by Tex Rickard
for match between Carpenter and
Greb for a purse of $150,000, the bat
tie to take place at Boyle's Thirty
Acres, Jersey City, in July or August
Carpenter said today that it was his
opinion no French promoter was
likely to meet the offer of Rickard,
and that it was probable the fight
with Greb would take place in the
United States.
Carpenter added that both he and
Descamps would like to fight for
Rickard, as they had been squarely
treated by him; but, owing to the
criticism leveled at him as French
champion for failing to fight in his
own country since 1919, he desired
to give French promoters a chance
to bid for the bout.
'T went to the United States to
wrest the title from Levinsky." Car
pentier declared. and it would only
be right that Greb everything being
equal regarding the inducements)
should come to France and fight me.
Close friends Of the Frenchmar
say the Fourth of July would not be
too early a date for Carpenter tc
fight, as he is in good condition.

MORE THAN 1OO
MIAMI FANS WILL
ATTEND MOORE
GRIFFIN BOUT

Dandy Dick Griffin reached Phoe-
nix on a special stage yesterday aft
ernoon and Immediately reported at
the Sixteenth street stadium for the
evening workout. A large delegation
OF fans was out to see the Fort
Worth battler timber up and Dick
gave them an eyeful.
Dick looks to be in the proyerbial
pink and from the manner in which
he stepped around the ring the little
fellow has plenty of stuff. His foot
work needs no Improvement and his
boxing is all that has been claimed
for him. There was little chance for
Dick to demonstrate his punch, but
he says he skill carries It, Griffin's
muscles are hard and snap like steel
springs. For bantam Griffin has
wonderfully developed arm and shoul-
der muscles. Eastern sport scrlbes
have long contended Dick is the best
twi fisted bantam in the game and
his two former meetings with Pal
Moore bear out the statement that
Pal is facing his toughest scrap next
Tuesday night.
Griffin trained at Globe for the last
two weeks and he had plenty of OPP
portunity to exercise his punch on
Soldier Burt and Battling King, two
of the toughest boys in the mining
district
The fans who figure Moore to win
easily from Griffin will be disap-
pointed Tuesday night. Griffin knows
Moore from two former clashes with
the uncrowned champion and Dick
predicts that he will beat Moore de-
cisively.
Globe and Miami will be well rep
resented at the bout next Tuesday
evening. Griffin personally sold over
Arizona republican., 1922-05-26

A group of fans then started for
the man who had shouted at Babe.
This individual was requested by the
police to leave, and he did.
The bambinos attempt to vent his
wrath on booing fan recalled the
action of Ty Cobb, the veteran Tiger,
who entered the stands in New York
10 years ago and had more success
than Ruth in reaching his annoyer.
Ty was suspended for 10 days at that
time, and the incident caused the
famed strike" of the entire Detroit
team.
Whether the Babe will draw an
other suspension or merely a heavy
fine depends upon the good nature
of Umpire Hildebrand and the Amer
lean league officials.

Anglers Report
Good Fishing At
Roosevelt Lake

Sportsmen are returning daily from
the Roosevelt lake district with rec
ord catches of big mouth black bass
and with words of praise for the
greatest fresh water fishing grounds
in the country.
Anglers Inn, located about seven
miles from the dam proper, where the
waters of the Tonto river flow into
the north end of Roosevelt, is an ideal
spot for sportsmen to spend their va
cations and week end fishing trips,
according to anglers who have en-
joyed a few days sport at this pop
ular resort.
r. Fl. Berry and B. F. Wasielewski
spent the week end at Roosevelt and
returned to Phoenix last night with
27 finny monsters. w. A. Wadlow
and Clyde Miller caught 25 big mouth
bass at the lake Sunday.
T. L. Pinney and Dell Morrell made
camp at Anglers Inn for a few days
last week, returning yesterday after
noon with 10 bass averaging five
pounds each. Morrell and Pinney
stated that Anglers Inn is the sports
mans paradise and everyone who
cast line had wonderful success.
The bass are now biting on arti-
ficial bats, such as tangoes, flies
and spinners. Some anglers prefer
live bait and have reported success.
Watt Sandige of Phoenix says he ex-
perienced some real sport catching
"blue gills" at Roosevelt during the
past week. These fish rise to flies
and furnish great sport for the
anglers, as they strike as fast as the
bait hits the water.
From present indications fishing In
Central Arizona will continue popular
for some time and with good roads
leading to the lake it is certain that
Roosevelt will be visited by thousands
of outdoor pleasure hunters this sea-

amount. The shorts editor of the Mi
ami Silver Belt in long distance
conversation last night stated that

HE SEES THE RESULT.

Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin. one
OF tho Republican tariff insurgents.
in his speech in opposition to the high
duty on secured wool carried by the
Fordney- -McCumber Tariff bill the
other day In the Senate said,
II do not want TO see such rates
In this bill as Will result in
Democratic Congress next year
1924"
Most OF the Republican Senators
are too hidebound TO see the potency
of this warning, and believe the pro-
tective tariff is the salvation of their
party. But Senator Lenroot and a
few others, taking lessons by past
experience, recognize the danger and
act and speak accordingly.
But whether the pending high tariff
measure stands or falls, this Repub-
lican Congress already has made Re
publican victory at the coming elec.
,ions practically impossible. 1t ha'
disgusted the entire country by II,
dilatory policy and its utter failur,
to intelligently consider any OF IN,
important business questions that ar,
clamorins for attention. The countr,
suffers and Congress does nothing bu
talk and try to pass a tariff measure
that will make the already high cos
OF living much higher. No wonder i

ADMINISTRATIONS POSITION.

From the outset the administration
position on the strike has been inn
pregnabe. And its acts and express
sions have further entrenchcd Il. 1t
assumed the obligation to protect the
nation from injury at the hands of
arbitrary industrial mlnorltles at the
beginning of its attempt to effect
voluntary settlement. and this obli-
cation it is now ready to fulfill. II
has shown itself determined to main
tain the nations right to n fair deal
and to exert itself to the utmost that
the peoples needs may be met. The
people know this and can be counted
on to support the Administration
wholeheartedly in the stand that II
has taken in their behalf.
That the administration will receive
not only the jealous support of the
Republican party in Congress in its
efforts to protect the public interest
but tho support of a number. if not
all Of the opposition. is a conclusion
warranted by expressions of CO.
operative purpose already made by
leaders in that group. In view of the
overwhelming evidence of nation.
wide support of the Government IL
its stand for the paramountcy of tn,
public good that has been accumu
lating during the past few days an,
that is still growing. the adverse
criticism levelled by certain labo
leaders against 1t viii have onl!
negligible effect.
Striking miners are in no position
to blame the Administration for ex
erting itself in defence of the publi
welfare. They themselves have stub
bornly refused to take the REASONABLE
way 10 settlement and in so doing hav
left the Government no other choice
The people are with the Administra
| tion in this hour of national need, an
against such combination an unyield
ing industrial minority cannot hop
