sANDOW OUTCLASSED
 BY GERMAN LION
Myers Wins Two Easy Falls, After Brilliant Preliminary by African
 Wonders.

Snow Ball and Tennessee. Who nobody knew. but they put on a pre- liminary wrestling bout at the Ma ejstic last night that made people sit up and wonder how they ever had the nerve to do it-pose as wrestlers,. when they obviously knew no more about the game than a burro knows about bridge whist. Well, Well,-
 The NJ yers- -Sandow match at the Majestic last night might have been great event if Myers had been a little smaller, or Sandow heavier. As it was, the German Lion" out weighed his opponent some 32 pounds and as everybody knows, that is some advantage in a wrestling match
 The fact that Myers had had sever al bones in his right hand broken about two weeks ago did not prevent him from outclassing his opponent in every respect. He was able to as- sume the aggressive from the first minute to the last. and what he didn't do to Sandow-he could do. if he had the time and the inclination.
 
 the audience-none too large, by the way-the first feeling that they were to be present at as tame an af- fair as has been pulled off in this city since the first settler same me- andering over the desert. Two name ness negros, who were christened Snow Ball and Tennessee in order that they might not be entirely de- stitute of a handle, gave an imitation of a preliminary which some fans present thought was very fair Snow Ball, after a world of African puffing won the first fall in twelve minutes. The second also fell to him, for last night was Snow Balls good night. He was in the pink of condition, and Tennessee was simply out of the game rom the first to the last The second fall was won in five minutes.
 Myers went on the mat in good condition, but there was little excite ment about the match. for it was evident to the most experienced fan present that Sandow would give the other man very little trouble. But the little fellow was game all through, and he put up an astonishing tussle Tor man or HIS NtlSHl.
 The first fall was given to Myers in minutes, 17 seconds, won by d double arm and headlock. Action was slow in the first go, with San dow slightly on the aggressive. and Myers standing off to feel his op- ponent He watched SandOw closely and before the young fellow knew it, had q hold that gave him the decis- ion.
 The second fall was won by the German Lion in 9 minutes, B sec onds. Sandow was a little more careful this time, and Myers was on the aggressive. looking out for an opening Finally he found it, and Sandow lost the second fall. He was thrown the second time with a head lock and armlock.
 Altogether, the event last night was calculated to discourage the followers of the game in Phoenix. who have seen a large number of one sided matches during the last year. It was a repetition of the Gotch-J Johnson event. A big man against light one. The next time a wrestling match is billed, the skeptical fans will yawn, and say. show me"
 A telegram was received yesterday by the sporting editor of The Repub- lican, from W. c. Roberts of Tucson. who wants to arrange a match with the winner of the wrestling match between Sandow and Myers. Roberts wants to Wrestle for a side bet of one hundred dollars. winner to take all. and he will be ready for the event on Saturday, August ,.
