ROMONOFF GREATEST EUROPEAN WRESTLER SINCE HACKS TIME

Something new in the wrestling art will be in store for Salt River valley fans when Alex Romanoff and Nick Daviscourt meet in a finish match at Ttlly's arena Friday night. It is in the style used by the big Russian ar stist. who is recognized as one of the cleverest big fellows the game has ever developed.
 First of all Romanoff wrestles with all fours. employing his feet with equal precision with his hands to toss his opponents about the ring. This style has won for him the name of the grapevine wrestler" and he is said to be a wizard at this peculiar style.
 Romanoff comes to Phoenix with a wonderful record. having scored de- cisive victories over such wonderful men as Charley Cutler of Chicago. for mer worlds heavvweight title holder Jack Samson. Jack Sorenson and many others of equal prominence ir the wrestling world.

to a draw with Ad Santel. considered the best man of his poundage in the world. Santel weighs about 190 pounds too heavy for the light heavyweight class and too light for the big heayies. But at his weight. he is master of them all.
 Based on past performances. Rom anoff is a real match for any man and If Daviscourt is counting on any soft pickings" here. he is in for a big surprise. On paper. it looks like one of the best matches. from a standpoint of evenness. ever arranged by Pro- moter M. M. Tally.
 The two big fellows are the same size. in poundage. and have enjoyed about the same experience on the mat. Daviscourt holds the heavyweight championship title of the Pacific coast and should he lose to Romanoff. will surrender that honor.
 Advance sale of tickets for the match opened at Doyle's cigar stand yesterday.
 A good preliminary program is now being arranged.

SMOKER REVEALS CHARACTER

According to an enterprising Amer ican scientist a mans character can now be told from the way he smokes cigars.
 The man who smokes is easily recog- nized- His lips will show it. without his speaking. He who fixes his cigar deeply in his mouth is of a nature reso- Iue, skeptical and abrupt; one who bites off the end of his cigar is care less, thoughtless and listless.
 When the cutter is used to nip off the end, the smoker may be considered a man of caution. The user of the am Der holder is a delicate person. The man who smokes his cigar to the end is faithful friend. a constant husband and of a persevering nature.
 If one is in the habit of throwing away the cigar when only half smoked he is in danger of being considered tickle, blase and a trifler.-Detroit News

CITY AUTO. MEN DENY PART. IN CALLING OFF
 AUTO ROAD RACE

Two representatives of the Fl Paso chamber of commerce. Messrs. Rhine hart and Bandeen- who came to Phoenix to confer with the local cham Der and automobile men, left last night for Fl Paso. after meeting with the local men at the Grand Cafe
 The matter of the differences be- tween the two cities over the failure of the Fl Paso- Phoenix road race proposition were thoroughly gone into.
 According to Mir. Rhinehart, no one in Fl Paso had authority to promote in any way the Phoenix race without first obtaining the. sanction of the chamber of commerce He stated that NIT. Naquin. of the border city. who it was thought would handle the race. had no authority whatsoever in the matter. and that his statements re- garding the proposed race and his re- flection on Phoenix were entirely un- called for and not supported by the Fl Paso chamber
 Rhinehart made the plea that too short a time was allowed for the proper staging of the event He was of the opinion that at least from four to six months were necessary to en- able the entrants to get their cars in shape. and to enable the various counties to put the road in condition for the race
 He stated. and he was supported by MT. Bandeen. who is manager of the Fl Paso chamber. that Fl Paso would be glad to cooperate with Phoenix at any time for a race. asking only as a condition that sufficient time be al- l lowed in which to get the event ready.
 He also asserted that at no time was | there a possibility of staging an El Paso- San Diego road race. as he had been over the route and found the road | from Tucson to Yuma bv way of Aio | practically impossible. "It would take at least year to get that road in 1 shape" he said. "as the greater part | of 1t is simply a silt floor. through which a racing car can make not over five miles per hour"
 Rhinehart. in logging this road. got stuck in the silt 25 miles east of Aio and had to walk that distance to gel help.
 According to both Rhinehart and l Bandeen. the Fl Paso chamber will give Phoenix the matter of choice oi | routes within the state of Arizona al any time the two cities get together on a road race. Both were very posi- | tive that in their oDinion the Phoenix ! Fl Paso road was the most logical race to be held
 The fact that through Naduin anC others in-El Paso. Phoenix was turned down on the proposed race. com. menced to show its effect on tho trad, relations. of Phoenix with Fl Paso and the Fl Paso chamber deemed tn, matter of sufficient importance t,
 justify immediate steps to arrest il The conference with the local mer

The race win be for eight miles. and the driver must stoD at intervals of two miles to do his stunts.
 The prize for the winner will be s200. The race is open to any car costing less than S1.60O.
 Mir. Gibbs came to Phoenix from Fresno. where he placed entry blanks with a number of famous drivers for the events in Phoenix.

 q saw Ralph de Palma. who left Fresno for Europe. but who expects to return in time for the races here. He plans to be back in New York on No- .vember 2. in which event he has promised to come to Phoenix"
 "we are assured of a big field and real races: a real show. not an exhibi- ton match. We insist on making the rree-for-all contest one that will at tract all classes of drivers and cars. for that insures plenty of competition and competition is the life of auto rac- Ing as in trade"
 T have mailed entry blanks to all the world famous drivers now in Cali fornia- where they are practicing for the big Thanksgiving auto races" Tommy Milton will drive a Dusen- berg having a long and thrilling his- | tory on the race track. The ear is now owned by F. F. Rowe. of the Roamer Motor Sales company after having been fin the possession of some of the worlds greatest drivers. The Dusenberg. one of the most famous racing cars in America. was first owned by Milton who claims it is the fastest racing car of four cylinders in America.
 After making several records in the car that still stand. Milton sold the car to Louis L1e Coud. who with his mechanic was killed in a 5O0-mile race i'm Indianapolis. on a Decoration day event in 1919. The Dusenberg crashed Into the outer brick wall of the saucer | in the 1S4th lap. and in the ensuing explosion and fire both Le Cuod and his mechanic were burned to death.
 The machine was then bought by Roscoe Searles. rebuilt. and driven in a great many races. Searles and the Dusenberg established some records at Ascot Park in Los Angeles. In the 1919 Santa Monica road races. Searle's car. while speeding at 100 miles an hour. jumped the track. The driver miraculously escaped unhurt.
 Early this year the car was bought by Rowe of Phoenix and at present is being thoroughly overhauled prepara- tory to Milton's race in the Arizona state fair. Parts were taken to Los Angeles bv a special mechanic to be properly fixed and it is expected thai the veteran Dusenberg will be in bet ter condition than the day 1t came out of the factory. The car has a pistor displacement of sos cubic inches. Indicating widespread interest in tn, coming racing events was a wire from New York received by l.. H. Gibbs superintendent of auto day at the fair asking for six entry blanks to be sen to that state. Many inquiries are com ing in from other points throughou , the United States.
