PAGE NIN THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY MORNlNG'AUGUST! 1920 (I A' I f 1 4 v I W- 'I : if - W As" FV. t t 1 1 ' PETE SB'S ONE T I'S AMBITION CHAMPION own CROW What would you do if 200 pounds averdupois weighed down on your frame and a big husky was clamping your arm in a vise like grip that re fused to release? If you exchanged places with a wrestler for 30 minutes and slipped Into an unbreakable hold with your op ponent bending every effort to pin your shoulders to the mat you would not hesitate to give an athlete credit for holding up under a two-hour struggle. . The average fan who attends a wrestling match and watches the wrestlers spar for holds, does not real ize the terrific strain under which they work for an advantage. It takes men of wonderful physique and the heart of a lion to stand up under the pres sure of a finish wrestling contest. Per fect physical development and a quick brain are the chief assets of a wrest ler, yet the professional mat artist is seldom given credit for anything other than his physical strength. The wean ling and the slow thinker have no bus ness following wrestling as a profes sion; it takes men of strength in mind and in body to win the topmost places in the wrestling game. If Pete Sauer was a slow thinker he never would have thrown Tom Grant in 11 minutes in the last contest. Pete saw an opening and his mind concen trated on the chance to throw his op ponent. Before the crafty Grant knew what was happening his shoulders were on the mat and Sauer was the winner of the bout". In every walk of life we meet artjsts who have put their whole heart ana soul into their profession. Peter Sauer has given himself entirely to the wrestling game and his one ambition in life is to win the light-heavyweight championship, an honor now held by eating .Our Swords .

' " " Clarence Eklund. If Pete succeeds In throwing Clapham next Friday evening he will be welj on the road to victory, as Clapham is recognized as Eklund's only rival in the light' heavyweight class. Phoenix fans who have watched Sauer in every contest since his ar rival in the city predict he will beat Clapham Friday. They base their hopes on the phenomenal improvement shown by Sauer in each contest. And men who have battled with Sauer in the arena do not hesitate to state the Phoenix pride is the toughest man in the game today for his weight and inches. Eklund himself does not care to take chances on dropping a match to Sauer, as evidenced by his demand for a $3000 purse to meet Sauer in a finish match in this city for the wrest ling title. Matchmaker Tally is will ing to put up-the, purse if Sauer throws Clapham Friday night. Interest in the coming match has reached a high pitch with the odds about even on the main event.. Sauer is not the betting favorite imthe bout with Clapham that he was in previous matches. Clapham is touted as the winner, but Sauer admirers still con tend the home boy looks good for two falls. We'll know Friday night. The Sinclair-Ellis four-round box ing contest calls for action in the 14 pound class. Ellis is a home town comer and Sinclair is a boxer with a career to fall back' on. The boys promise fight from the tap of the gong to the count of ten. N Tickets for. the Claphanv-Sauer wrestling contest are on sale a Eddie Doyle's cigar stand. In case of rain Friday night the genial Eddie will pass out pasteboard rain checks good, for Saturday evening in the Tally arena. o : SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION Little Rock 5.

The latter country claims that it should be reserved as an asset to pay what Russia owes to its bondholders in other countries. The common English opin ion is that the interests of all lands trading with Russia will be best served by using this gold to restore railway equipment and other facilities of trade and commerce. When the war broke out the Rus sian government bank had more than eight million dollars' worth of gola in its vaults, and in addition well toward half a billion dollars were in circulation. During the war this quan tity fluctuated and even before the first revolution had considerably declined. By October, 1917, the banks' holdings had fallen below 650 million dollars. During the revolution part of this money was withdrawn from Petrograa and nearly a quarter of a billion dol lars fell into the hands of the Kilchak government. The Bolsheviki claim that all of this had been recaptured. Living Age.
