A first-class boxing card is in store!
for Phoenix fans on July 4, when Leo j
Houck of Seattle exchanges blows with j
Billy Coppelli of Los Angeles in Area- :
dia hall. Both principals come to j
Phoenix with the guarantee of. Jack
Doyle, Vernon promoter, attached.
Houck and Coppelli have recently
appeared as headline attractions be
fore . Doyle's . Vernon Athletic club.
This fact is in itself sufficient guaran
tee as . to the excellence of the bout
schedued for this city. Persons ac
quainted with the manly art realize
that .anyone featured by Doyle is a
sure-enough headline attraction.
Both Houck and Coppelli are recog- j
nized as championship timber out on!
the coast, where they have been per- i
forming, for the past few months.!!
Houck has only recently invaded the S
south cpast sectipn after a tremen-!
dously successful campaign up around
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, where
he disposed of all likely candidates in
that section. . .
Coppelli has been matched against
some, of the best boys of his weight in
the southern Pacific coast sectkm and
has yet to meet a stumbling block.
Coppelli and Houck have agreed to
weigh in at 135 pounds ringside, thus
keeping the match within the light
weight .limit. Houck will reach Phoe
nix Saturday or Sunday, followed by
Coppelli Monday or Tuesday.
E. A. Harter and James Jones, pro
moters for the Phoenix Athletic club,
under whose auspices the bout will be
held, are expected to return to Phoenix
today. Complete details of the main
and preliminary events will be an
nounced upon their return, it is ex
pected. Tickets for the bout will be placed on
sale within the next two or three days.
Special arrangements are to be com
pleted whereby it will be possible to
seat between 1,200 and 1,500 specta
tors in Arcadia hall.

"Money talks in baseball as in all
other forms of sport, and if the Phoe
nix Cubs are really anxious to meet
the White Sox in a series of games to
determine the city championship, they
can easily talk business with us pro
vided they are backed by sufficient
funds."
Such was the declaration of Hugh
Cass, Wrhite' Sox manager, last even
ing. The only terms on which the
White Sox will insist is that the games
be played on a neutral field.
"We will play the Cubs for a side
bet of anywhere from $100 to $500,"
Cass stated. ' "We will make it a five
game series and give the Cubs a one
game advantage. That is .a fair
enough proposition for anyone.
"The White Sox will never again
play in Phoenix until a suitable play
ing field is available, at least not as
long as I am manager of the club,"
continued Mr. Cass.
"Last Sunday's game with the Cubs
was scheduled unbeknown to me and
during my absence from the city. Had
I been in Phoenix last Sunday there
would have been no controversy on the
playing field. I would have pulled my
players from the diamond, giving the
umpires an opportunity to forfeit the
game to the Cubs if they so desired.
"The White Sox take the field to play
baseball and not wrangle with umpires
regarding decisions when I am in
charge. If we don't like the decisions,
we have the option of forfeiting the
game to our opponents.
"In regard to the championship series
with the Cubs, I, would suggest that
such a series be played either at Tem
.pe or Mesa. We are willing to talk busi
ness with the Cub management at any
time, providing they can make it worth
our while." .
A reply from the Cubs is being
awaited by Mr. Cass.

GARY, Ind. A new era of athletics!
is upon us. Jess Willard, heavyweight
champion of the world, is father oj
five children. Johnny Kilbane, feath
erweight champ, is head of a good
sized family; though his home wasi
recently saddened by the loss of a lit
tle daughter. And then there is Joie
Ray, famous track star.
Quite frequently stars of the ring
are men of family but very rarely do
you find a star of the track or field a
victim of Cupid's wiles. ,
But Joie Ray is. Ray broke all rec
ords after he was married. He was a
mighty good athlete before. Now he
is running better than ever and ex
pects to make some new marks in the
Fourth of July meet at Gary whe.
300 or more athletes of the American
Industrial Athletic association will
contest for honors.
And Ray is going to try the quarter
mile for the first time and expects to
set a new mark at that.
Joie loves the game. . He's poor in
wealth but rich in health. He is au
electrical worker in one of the Gary
steel plants and makes around $35 .
week. He is married and father of a
pretty little three-year-old daughter
and they live in a modest little house.
But inside that house is a collection
of medals, cups and plaques evidence
of Ray's prowess that easily are
worth $14,000, There are 600 medals
worth about $9,000 and 38 huge silver
trophies worth $3,200.

LUKE OF ARIZONA
By ARTHUR CHAPMAN
(New York American)
Second Lieut. Frank Luke, Jr.. of Arizona, brought down eighteen
German balloons in seventeen days. On the day of his death, Luke
destroyed two ballons, killed six German soldiers and wounded many
more. He was wounded, and landed to get a drink from a stream behind
the enemy lines. Rather than be captured, lie drew his revolver and
was killed fighting.
Shootin' balloons was just one of his habits
This Luke;
Gas bags, it seems, was as easy as rabbits
To Luke;
Somethin' about 'em just made the kid sore; '
He'd have 'em in flames maybe two, maybe four
And then he'd complain 'cause he couldn't find more
Young Luke.
If they peppered his plane with the shells from an Archv.
Why, Luke
Just kept on his way he sure was the starchy
Kid Luke;
When Heinie strung sausage affairs in a row
This western-raised wildcat'd lay the lot low
By the wreckage he left all the Germans'd know
'Twas Luke.
Great was his fight on the day of his dying
Brave Luke!
Steadily downward his swift steed came flying
With Luke.
Wounded, he fought with the foes that swarmed fast;
No cage for this eaglet Death claimed him at last.
On Fame's scroll that new name with a glow unsurpassed
Spells Luke!
