] 100000 Baby Trout to Be
Stocked In Streams of State

A total of 100000 baby trout from
the two state hatcheries will be put
in Arizona trout streams before an
ether fishing season rolls arouno,
according to program outlined by
State Game Warden D. E.. Pettls.
The department plans three Tfatch-
cries of 100000 fish at Latch at the
new hatchery at Squirrel Springs,
near Greer, Arizona. Already 100000
brook and 100000 black spotted trout
ere being Matched at this place and
100000 rainbow will be ready for
spring. In addition 20 this, 100000
rainbow trout eggs have been or
dered.
Pettis also has in mind a new bass
hatchery at Papago park in Phoenix.
This would be a small project at
first, but would provide stock for a
large number of lakes and reservoirs
over the state.
Last season $4,000 trout were pug
out in various streams Of this
number, the ella County Game Pro-
tective association secured $1,000
from the U. S. bureau Of fisheries.
Pettis believes that there are no
more virgin trout streams in Arr
zona. Unless a consistent policy Of
conservation and restoration is fol-
lowed, he fears that fishing will
soon lose much of it's attractiveness
He thinks that better fishing will
bring more Fishermen, more fisher.
men will bring more license fees anc

DEATH STILLS "wIND MILL"

PITTSBURGH, Oct. %. up - Death
claimed the wind milf of the prize
ring today when Harry Greb of Pitts
burgh, former middleweight champion
of the world, succumbed in an Atlantic
City hospital after an operation for
broken bone in the nose.
News of his sudden death stunned
Pittsburgh, for the boxer left here last
wednesday claiming to be in good
health and expressing a desire to go
into training for another siege in the
ring. Greb, the only boxing champion
ever turned out by this city, was the
idol Of sports followers.
Greb spent 13 years of intensive ac-
tivity in the squared arena. Born 80
years ago in Pittsburgh, Greb first
donned the gloves as a prelim boy un-
der James "Red" Mason. From that
time on until recent months he had
fought some 800 battle, won two titles
and suffered but one knockout. His
record up to the close of 1925 showed
"A knockouts, AZ wins on decisions,
four decisions lost and two draws. His
other bouts were no-decision engage
ments During the war he served as
naval boxing instructor.
Greb barred none in his fight to the
top, frequently giving more than So
pound advantage to his opponent. Greb
won the American light heavyweight
title from Gene Tunney in 1922, but
lost it to the same boxer the following
year Phen he began his drive for the
middleweight championship, and de-
spite predictions of experts that he
could not make the weight, Greb train
ed down to Johnny Wilson'S size and
in 1923 won Wilson'S crown. During
his middleweight reign, he fought and
won many battles, including one with
Mickey Walker then welterweight
king. He held his title until recently
when Tiger Flowers, Georgia negro
dethroned him and then beat him in a
return bout.
With the exception of Jack Dempsey
Greb fought practically every leading
light heavyweight and heavyweight oi
the day. His peculiar style in the rims
constant bouncing and windmHline
of his gloved fists-caused opponents
no end of trouble. They could no
fathom this fast moving athlete.
Grebs only trouble was his dislik'
for the training ring and his manager
found it hard at times to keep Gre
busy on the road and in the gym jus
prior to important battles.
Greb is survived by young daugh

here Of news of the Pittsburgh box

Bulldogs Lock Best


At this early date Yale seems to
stack up as the best of the big
Three" Harvard, as you know,
dropped it's first two games, though
in Justice to the Crimson it must
be said the Horween aggregation
looked considerably better the second
time out. With the annual round
robin series several weeks away, it
is possible Harvard may perk up
and Princeton.
Princeton was tied by the little
Washington and Lee eleven last week.
The Tigers, according to reports, were
lucky to get away with tie. Wash
ington and Lee outgained the Orange
and Black by wide margin and
for time seemed to have the con-
test in the old bak.
Princeton, of course, must be
reckoned with. Any team boasting
a Slagle in it's battlefront is apt TO
break through at any moment. Slagle
has been cutting his usual capers
this fall, though he did find the
going rather tough against Washing
ton and Lee.
Yale came through nicely in its
first two starts: 1t showed plenty of
offensive ability and with more work
should reveal defense capable of
holding the majority of opponents
well in check.
Though it's bit early to make
any predictions, Yale appears to have
the inside rail this fall insofar as
the "Big Three banner is concerned.

The shin bone is flattened with
