FLOWERS RETAINS CHAM
PIONSHIP TITLE IN FURIOUS
BATTLE WITH GREB
preston News Service)

Madison Square Garden, Aug. 90
Harry Greb of Pittsburgh, who played
fast and loose with all the rules of
training when he was middleweight
champion of the world, so that he lost
the title to Tiger Flowers of Georgia,
proved unable to regain his lost laurels
in a return bout at Madison Sqaure
Garden last Wednesday night.
Flowers, the only race man to hold
the worlds middleweight champion
ship, easily outpointed Greb in IS
round bout to decision.
A furious rally in the fourteenth and
fifteenth rounds, in which the Pitts
burgher threw all his waning strength
into the conflict, could not change the
outcome, which was decided long be-
fore the bout drew to close.
Champion Greb's Master
The fight, which for the most part
was slow and uninteresting, was a
REPETITION Of the previous encounter
between this pair. last February.
Flowers demonstrated that he was al
ways Greb's master, beating Harry to
the punch and outscoring him when
they wrestled in close quarters.
Greb, despite his promises of reform,
obviously had not trained any too well
and was in no shape to beat the
Tiger" who was unmarked at the
finish, save for slight cut over one
eye, sustained when his face collided
with Greb's bobbing head.
The evening was enlivened by the
misguided enthusiasm Of two Of Greb's
women friends, who went around the
ring after the decision had been rem
dered attacking those they believed re-
sponsible for the verdict.
One of the girls slapped Dick Muir
ply, the veteran Western Union chief,
in the mistaken belief that he was one
Of the judges.
Although the crowd rooted for Greb
throughout the fight and Jim Crowleg,
the referee, gave Harry every break
when it came to a question Of separ-
ating the men, there never was any
doubt as to the champions supremacy.
Flowers fought as we'll as he ever
has, in the face of a slashing, two
handed attack which Greb launched at
long range There was great deal
of holding. in which both men were
offenders, and too much wrestling to
suit the fans, who numbered nearly
$4,000.
Tiger Cuts Greb
The champion cut Greb about the
face but otherwise the challenger was
qnhurt although badly winded.
The fight demonstrated conclusively
that the Pittsburgher, through his ex-
cesses and his vigorous ring career, has
burnt himself out
Flowers at no time displayed a win
ming punch. He merely had to get out
IN front on points and stay there to
whip an opponent whose judgment Of
distance was awry and whose famous
windmill" attack was a thing Of the
past.

Two DRINKS started out to visit their
friend on Cliff street, Sunday, Aug. IS.
AS they approached the house, an
argument arose between them and
vulgar epithets were cast in both direc-
tons.
A young foreign policeman under
took to stop the argument Failing
in this, he threatened arrest. By this
time a crowd had collected, and in the
crowd was the mother and father of
the policeman.
The DRINKS observed that the man
representing himself as an officer wore
no uniform, badge or other regalia that
usually identifies an upholder of the
law. They resisted arrest and con-
tended that they had right to do 50.
Father policeman thereupon appointed
himself an officer, grabbed one Of the
DRINKS by the arm and made a little
speech in his native language This
relief was supposed to aid the young
officer in making the arrest, but the
DRINKS refused to bulge.
White and black neighbors were on
the scene by this time and the situa-
ton was exciting Realizing that
something insult be done, the young
officer struck one Of the DRINKS on the
head with the butt Of his revolver.
Blood squirted, women screamed, chill
dren shrieked and threats were made.
Somehow, the drunks broke loose and
made their getaway, with the young
officer following close behind, careless
ly handling loaded revolver.
Less than an hour after the exciting
chase. the house on Cliff street was
raided, and one man shot three times.
It is not known definitely that the
wounded man was one OF the DRINKS,
but he also resisted arrest
All this trouble could have been
avoided By that same young policeman
doing his duty every day, instead Of
selecting one particular day TO assert
his authority IF the house raided was
Objectionable last Sunday it was OBJ
jectionable before that time, and should
have been Investigated.
Green policemen are more dangerous
than robbers. or equally so at least.

HUNT TO RUN AGAIN

Governor Hunt has definitely decided that he
will be q candidate for governor for the sixth
term. Candidly we can not see just why Governor
Hunt is entitled to sixth term as governor. The
original George Washington only wanted two
terms as president of the United States and ad-
vocated the idea that it was good to change and
not get into rut that would eventually bring
about monarchy. George Washington was right.
He knew the danger of one-man rule in America.
1t would have blasted the hopes of the trainers of
the constitution and made that famous instru-
ment futile A mngng of the brains of the coun-
try were necessary to carry on and develop from
different angles, the different sections of the
sttution; to construe them in the interest of the
whole people, rather than for the few the idol of
the people had chosen to surround himself The
hand of Governor Hunt has directed the affairs
of state in Arizona since it admitted as a
state fourteen years ago, with the exception Of
two years when he was minister to Siam. Cover
nor Hunt has been for the pact, neutral as to the
pact, now against the Colorado river compact.
Many seem to feel in view of the big contest now
on between Arizona and California, that Governor
Hunt has saved Arizona. Not in the least. This
fight was bound to come with or without the
signing of the compact.

CRITICISING THE CRITICS
(Nogales Herald)

Every newspaper has a special
flock of self-appointed critics. These
"critics" are usually excitable, hys-
terical and easily induced to great
wrath shortly after reading something
that they personally disagree with or
which is beyond their comprehension.
Naturally, their wrath is poured out
on the editor or the newspaper, who
are soundly scored and even threat
ened with libel.
Just as every rose has its thorns,
every newspaper has its critics. Per-
haps they are an important part of a
successful newspaper?
The press is never perfect. A
newspaper is just the product of the
labor of many people and it is per-
fectly human to make mistakes. No
one realizes this any better than do
newspapermen. One can hear more
stringent criticism inside newspaper
office than is ever heard ON the OUT
side. However, the "inside" talk is
"shop" while the outside gossip causes
room for argument. A newspaper
mans criticism usually hits the mark;
the criticism of the outsider invar-
iably does not.
Criticisms are usually grounded by
prejudices. The reader may be po-
litical enemy of the newspaper. He
icriticises. He may be personal
enemy of the editor or publisher. He
foams. He may have a grudge
against the newspaper for some
minor reason or other. He RACES. He
may he inst natural crouch, He
storms.
The Herald, like all other newspa-
pers, often makes errors. When we

WHAT MILI1THE PLATFORM BE!
prescott Courier)

Word from Phoenix is that Cover
nor Hunt is going to run for COVER
nor once more.
1t wasn't news. for it was well
known he would seek the nomination
this year.
Insofar as the governor himself is
concerned, he probably does not care
to go into another campaign, but dur
ing the last few years he has become
flexible and weak where he once was
adamant and strong, and the insistent
walls of those who owe their jobs to
him have been too clamerous to resist.
They remember the four lean years
that passed when they were away
from the feed trough, bitter and
struggling years, and with despera-
tion in voice and gesture they have
begged him not to desert them now,
when the price of food is high, and
let them wander about in uncertainty
again. One cannot blame them for
viewing with alarm and sinking hearts
any shadow that leans across their
bread and butter, and the governor
cannot be criticized for standing by
those who might face either real hard
work or starvation were he to retire
to private life.
But it will be interesting to see
what the paramount planks in the
governors platform will be this time.
In 1922 it was taxation, and in his
speech in Prescott Tin criticizing the
statement of Candidate Ward that
the governor could not cut expendi-
lures unless aided by others) he said
Taxes can be cut, they must be cut,
and I'll cut them" Four years have
passed, and they are higher than ever.
He also said he would have an auc-
tion sale OF state highway department
automobiles, and chop the number
down; there are more cars in that de-
partment now than ever before
And in that year he also paid his
respects to some bank failures, and
promised better supervision of
banks. But the state banking depart
ment has fallen down" very hard.
1t has closed no banks until they
themselves reached the breaking
point, then the department appeared
to have just discovered they were
weak and ready to topple over. 1t
doesn't take a financier to know that
an efficient state banking department
either would keep banks running safe
~ and on sound lines, or shut their
doors the moment they failed to heed
the warning to "clean house," and in
the right way.
1t may be the governor will en-
phasize the Colorado river question,
question that viii be settled for all
time, and to the eetriment of Arizona,
should the Swing-Johnson bill be
passed by congress.
The governor may grab Senator
Cameron's phrase, "Our back is
against the WALL" but it won't be
true. If the state of Arizona con-
tinues to block development of the
river and the question is kept alive
and unsettled for political purposes,
the Swing-Joh bill WILL BE
passed, and Arizona will not have its
"back to the WALL" but will be jam
med through the wall and left with its

HOMETOWN PRINTERS
(Calexico Chronicle)

Much has been written and said
about patronizing home industries,
buying ones groceries in the neigh
borhood and ones clothing and house
hold furnishings at local stores. Now
comes a righteously wrathful Kanso
editor, no less a person than
widely known and liked Williams 3
len White of Emporia, calling for Il
patronage of hometown printers.
The subject has been brought t
the fore by the activity Of a Kansas
club woman who is going about The
state trying to get local clubs to have
their year-books printed by the jot
office that gets out the magazine OF
the state federation of Women's
clubs, and thus taking away all these
small jobs from the printers in the
towns where the individual clubs
exist.
Says Mr. White:
"The Gazette will be glad to be one
newspaper which will make the pub
lie notice: If the yearbook for any
woman's club in this town is printed
outside of Emporia, the notices Of
meetings of that club will be charged
for at the regular rate; no mention
whatever will be made of the club
while it is using that yearbook, and
if that club has any civic enterprise
in which it is interested it can take
its troubles to Topeka and get the
Topeka papers to boost the enterprise
and give it publicity; for The Gozette
will not"
That's pretty stern stuff from the
genial editor of the Gazette. But Aa't
it perfectly fair and just?

HEARD REFUSES GREAT OPPORTUNITY

Dwight B. Heard definitely announces that he
will not be a candidate for the nomination for
governor on the republican ticket this year. He
gives as his reason that he could not consistently
support Senator Cameron and intends making
things as warm as possible for Gov. Hunt during
the campaign.
There is a general expression OF regret that Mr
Heard has refused to become a candidate again
for governor. Under adverse circumstances he
came within comparatively few votes in "a Of
winning the election and the people of the state
felt that it was his race this year without ques-
ton. It was his great opportunity to serve the
people for many of the questions in the minds OF
the people had been cleared away during the last
campaign and they were looking forward to a
clear cut, constructive administration with Mr..
Heard at the helm. We can not help but regret
the decision announced by Mr.. Heard and hope
that he may be made to change his mind and
consent to be the candidate of the people.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

back mired up IN a ditch of adobe
mud.
Had legislative resolution No. ] not
been blocked by the governor, Arizona
would have reached an agreement
with California, the question would
have been settled, development would
have been on the way, and this states
interests would have been safeguarded
for all time.
If the governor uses the river ques-
tion as his "stock in trade" he will
find it the swiftest boomerang any
politician ever met.
The proper thing for him to do is
to be honest with the voters and give
the main reason for seeking the gov
elnorship the sixth time: 'TTo keep
the old gang at the public crib, so
its members can keep the wolf from
the door" There would be logic in
that, for everyone admires a person
who will stand by friend in peril,
no matter how unworthy such friend
may be.
