Luis Firpo has arrived. These two decisions stand out as the results of last Saturday's big heavyweight elraination contests ai the Yankee staudium in New York. TTiiiard. the so-called oia man i the ring, proved that he is far from thrmiirh- He temporarily shunted into the discard the old adage that youth must be served. The aged Kansan took evrything that the youthful Iowan coma oner, and smiled.

Then, to show hs still retainer! the old-time ounch. he sent Johnson sprawling to the tloor witn a right uppercut as the bell -rang at the end of the eleventn rouna. Firoa Biaaest Hit It was a clean-cut knockout. And when the bell sounded for round 1J, Johnson was unable to respond. Wil lard had come back! Luis Firpo made perhaps the most nronounced hit of the day.

The easy manner in which the Argentine wai-loDer disposed of the much touted Jack McAuliffe of Detroit makes Firpo loom up as a likely contender for the heavyweight title. Luis Firpo is the "Absymal Brute" of the late Jack London's ring fiction Firpo, the silent man of the ring, who never seems to smile, who knows fighting only as a serious business, has yt to be put to a se rious test. Wrillard looms just ahead. While in New Y'ork recently I made a survey of the training camps -of Willard, Firpo, McAuliffe and John son. At the same time i naa a cnance to see Johnson in action against Fred Fulton.

Floyd Lacks Punch I voiced the opinion then that Yil- ard and Firpo were far the most im pressive. Tine result or tne eimina-tion tourney has borne out that opinion. Floyd Johnson's showing in the Fulton bout was a distinct disappointment. He hit Fulton with everything but the ceiling. But the must plastered plasterer took everything Johnson sent his way.

He still was fighting back at the end of the welfth and final round. Johnson Game Fighter In the Fulton bout Johnson made apparent that his punch lacked no iynamite. In the Willard bout the performance was repeated. Johnson eemed to have no trouble reaching isr Jess, but there was nothing back of his punches. Johnson is one of the gamest fight ers I have ever seen in action.

He can takse it and keep coming. If his nowledge of the ring game, plus his punch, were equal to his gameness, SOUTHS1DE DEPARTMENT MESA, TEMPE CHANDLER GILBERT GOODYEAR 16 South Laird Dines Gardner Gilbert J. E.

A. il A. A UAL EVENTS Republican A. P. Leased Wlrel FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILADEL PHIA, May 26.

A small but sturdy band of far westerners, carrying the blue and gold colors of the University California, today swept aside the best that the east could offer and eaotured for the third successive year the intercollegiate track and field championship at the forty-eventh annual I. C. A. A- A. A.

on Franklin Field. The husky squad of IS Golden Bears, captained hy "Brick" Muller, all-Ameritan foot ball star, scored 59 points, one less than their winning total of last year. but enough to win decisively over Princeton, which finished secona with 33 points. The Tigers battled pluckily to overcome the tremendous advantage of the westerners in the field event but their best efforts were not good enough to repel the brawn of the invaders. Yale Takes Third Tale, which with Princeton shared the hopes of the east, failed to come Bp to expectations- in the deciding events, despite the large numoer it qualified, the BJue collecting but 23 points, winning third place by a half point from Pennsylvania, Cornell, by virtue of two sensational victories, one by Kirby in the mile, and the other by Lovejoy in the 220 yard dash, landed in fifth place.

Pennsylvania State and Syracuse tied for sixth place with 13 points apiece. Johns Hopkins finished ighth with 12 and Dartmouth ninth with 10 points. Ideal track and field conditions prevailed for the finals of the two-day meet, but although sensational performances threatened records in several of the events, no new marks were established. Thirty-one colleges, represented by close to 900 athletes, competed for the college track and field crown, but due to eliminations yesterday, only 24 were represented today and cf these but 10 placed men in the finals. Strong in the Field California's versatile squad of field performers scored enough points alone for the Golden Bears to win.

The westerners tallied 36? points in isix field events, Berkey earning three points and their only place on the track with a third pface in the 1-0-j-ard hurdles. Saxby, California's only other track qualifier, failed to core in the quarter mile. Bill Neufeldt, a brawny "native on," was the individual star of the meet, scoring 11 points for California with a first place in the discus, second in the javelin and fourth in, the hot put. Norris was the only other Califor-cian to land in first ami he was forced to share honors in the pole vault with Owen of Pennsylvania, both clearing the bar at 12 feet, 9 inches. Muller helped the winners with places in both the high and broad jumps, while Witter landed a second place in the shot put.

The meet was one of the few on record which developed no double winner, but in addition to Neufeldt, three other individual stars stood out, each with nine points. They were Ralph Hills, giant Princetonian, who won, the shotput ana placed second In the hammer throw; Allen Wood-ring, crack Syracuse runner, victor In the 440 and second in the 220 yard dashes; and J. Coard Taylor, another Princeton star, who won the 220-yard hurdles and finished second in the quarter mile. "Dark Horse" Wins Two-Mile Walter lliugins of Columbia, 1022 two-mile titlelio'der and victor in the intcrnationa race at that distance at the Penn relays a month ago, was off form and withdrew at the start ol the last lap after he had fallen inio the ruck. Booth of Johns Hopkins, a horse." swept to the front in the last lap to win by S5 yards from Elmer Jkl-ane, Penn-sylvani star, who tired after leading a pack of 22 distance runners for a mile and three quarters.

Kirby's victory for Cornel! in the mile 'was another upset, the Ithacan finishing- in the remarkably fast time of four minutes and 17 4-5 seconds to defeat Jimmy Connolly of Georgetown and Mai Douglas of Yale, the two favorites.

Mary's on the Halstead diamond. Bunched hits In the first and fifth innings were responsible -for the 5 to 1 lead held by the Methodists. The C. M. E.

lads played errorless ball in the field behind Perry; who "let St.y Mary's down with but three safe bingles, one of them a long double by Munch. The Catholics displayed a poor brand of fielding in the first frame when three mis-plays were marked against them on the score sheet. Grosso Shows Form Grosso, in the box for St. Mary's, had the opposing batters under his control with the exception of the and fifth, when the Methodists pushed "enough men over to tie up the game. His teammates, however, were unable to touch Perry for the needed hits to advance the runners who were issued walks by the Methodist pitcher.

The Methodists tallied the first scores of the day in their half of the opening inning. Fraley took first when Ferra dropped his hard drive to short, and went to second as Smith, the next man up, was being retired by the St. Mary's infield. McRae reached first on Crump's error and, a few minutes later he and Fraley crossed home when Turner placed the ball, in center for a safe clout. White fifth man on the Methodist lineup came through with the second single of the day, advancing Turner fo third, and both men scored soon after on Eden's freak fly "to left.

Grosso then settled down and struck out Tucker and Fraley ending the inning. Run in Fourth St. Mary's lone run came in the fourth frame. Munch, the first man up, lifted a long double over the left fielder's head. He stole third and came in home when Gass placed a high sacrifice fly in the waiting hands of the Methodist's field in left.

C. M. E. pushed over another run the fifth, when "White singled and scored on Bright's hit through the infield. Lineup: CENTRAL METHODISTS AB.

SUNDAY SCHOOL BASEBALL TITLE (Jack Dempsey wouldn't have a cnance wtiu me lowa. iuruier uuj. But Floyd lacks experience and the ring technique that goes with it. He throwns his punches ovr hard, but apparently doesn't deliver them properly. The defeat of Johnson at the hands of Willard doesn't mean- that be is through.

Johnson has- youth and courage two assets capable of surmounting all otherobstacles of the ring. Firpo, as I watched him In training, seemed to have little' or no science. W'hen he landed a punch on a sparring partner, though even with the heavy gloves used in the gymnasium, it was evident he had something back of every swing. Each punch perceptibly jarred his sparring mates. Luis Clumsy, Yet Clever Firpo is an awkward, clever fighter, who regards fighting in a business way, likes it.

When hard hit he appears to fly into a rage and starts swinging his heavy arms in such a wild manner that a dozen of them, instead of two. appear to. be flying through the air. No doubt his opponent imagines he can see a hundred gloves being thrown in his direction. Unquestionably, Luis is crude as far as ring science goes.

Yet he is perhaps Dempsey most dangerous rival. He has proved he can take punishment. Likewise he has shown that he can hit. The veteran Bill Brennan spent a couple of weeks in a hospital after Firpo had knocked him out in their recent bout. Best of all, Firpo likes to fight.

He is cave man of the ring. He fears no one. Jess Never Better Willard probably never entered the ring in better shape than he did last Saturday. Despite his 40 and more years he showed plenty of stamina. He rcuted the belief of many experts that he must win in side of five rounds.

The experts thought. he would tire rapidly after going that distance. Jess Willard versus Luis Firpo! That is the next big attraction for New Y'ork fight fans. Tex Rickard already has the bout closed. Such a nveeting should draw close to 000 if staged at the Yankee stadium.

It will be ar-battle of giants. Both Firpo and Willard are supermen phy sically. It should be a contest worth see ing, provided you like the heavyweights. I'll take the little fellows for mine. With them action and science take the place of brute strength.

HERE TO out in discussing the possibilities of bringing one of these teams to Phoenix. He already is in communication with some of these clubs, he said, and they have expressed themselves as favorable to this section of the country if suitable grounds were available for training purposes, he said. Numerous storms ana cold weather have seriously interferred with the spriner training programs of these major league clubs during the past few years. A majority of these clubs have been training in Texas and in the south and have decided that to obtain the best results, locations must be had in sections where weather conditions are more favorable to the training of ath letes. Weather Here Ideal Arizona weather during the months of.

February and March is ideal for athletic training, Mr. Morley pointed out. On the average, not more than two or three rains are had in the Salt River valley during those two months and it is never cold enough here, even during midwinter, to interfere with a training program, he pointea otu. The site of this baseball plant would be on tlje property adjoining Joyland park but it would in no way be a part of that enterprise. In fact, Mr.

Morley plans the formation of a new company or club to handle the baseball park problem. He already owns sufficient acre age to provide for the finest baseball field in the entire southwest. There will be a grandstand ISO feet long, flanked on either side by bleachers, according to tentative plans outlined by Mr. Morley. Improved Field A galvanized iron fence will be erected about the park, which would be liberal in its dimensions.

The grass infield and sodded outfield are features demanded by a major league club and would be provided not only for that purpose but as a means of improving play of semi-professional clubs which would use the grounds in off seasons. Though pl.ms are far from complete, Mr. Morley expressed confidence that the project would go through without a hitch. It is meritorious from a standpoint of a major league club utilizing it as a spring training grounds if for no other reason, it is emphasized, but he stressed its value to the com munity as a scene for the more important of the valley games, where fans would be provided with every convenience found at the better parks in the larger cities. Mr.

Morley plans on organizing a company to build and operate the park aa a community asset and to provide means of entertainment to the thousands of tourists whn me here annually. Jf a major leaeue team r-nmoa here to train, Mr. Morley pointed out, it means more tisitors. and more visitors mean more money. Mr.

Morley hag already formula toA plans for the baseball company and if he can get the support of the community he is confident ran carry the project to success.

The high school auditorium was packed to the doors and into' the hall Friday night with parents and friends of the 34 boys and girls who received the nice little1 rolls of bond paper with the important words upon them. It was probably the greatest day the graduates will ever experience along school lines, even if they go to school the rest of their lives. It was a happy event in the lives of the teachers as well as the graduates, as the teachers certainly have a right to take to themselves some credit for the climax reached in; the lives of these young people. Prof. H.

A. Hubbard gave a fine address on the subject, "Training for Leadership." Prof. Row gave the Petersen scholarship prizes to Laura Hood, Miriam Johnson and Len Goodrich. For a number of years the late Niels Petersen has given $30 in gold to the student making the highest jrrade for the four years, $25 for the second, and $20 for the third place. It is necessary that the one receiving the prize be in the Tempe school the entire four years.

Had it not been for this condition, Cath erine Willett would have received first and Elizabeth Wamsley would have received second, since they have the highest grades for the time they have been here.

LEAGUE TEAM Steps were Initiated yesterday for the construction of a modern baseball plant in Thoenix having as its ultimate object the bringing of a major league team to Phoenix for spring training next year. SI. J.

Morley of Joyland park is fathering the movement. The plant, as proposed by Mr. Morley, would measure up to every requirement of a big league team; would provide club and locker rooms, shower baths, grandstand and bleachers and would have a grass infield and sodded outfield. The cost of such a plant would be nominal as compared with the benefits to be derived, Mr. Morley pointed out.

The" field could be used by a Phoenix team, or by several Phoenix when not otherwise used as training grounds for a major league squad. Leagues Search for Camps Six big league clubs now are seeking new spring training grounds for next year, Mr. Morley pointed mer winning by a few feet in a driving finish.
