Pete SAUER Wins
IN Finish MATCH
With tom GRANT

At Tally's arena, Friday night,
Aug. G, Pete Sauer won from Tom
Grant Of Seattle in the second fall
after the latter was forced to discon,
tinue the match with an injured rib.
The first fall was won by Grant in
SO minutes of the prettiest head-spin-
ming ever witnessed in Phoenix.
Sauer's shoulders were pinned to the
mat with Japanese arm lock. Time
and again Sauer would try for a toe
hold, only to have Grant twist loose.
With ten minutes rest after the
first fall, Pete took the aggressive,
while before Grant was the aggressor.
Pete began to rush and at times was
somewhat rough, hut managed to
keep inside of the rules. He sent
Grant to the floor with leg hold, but
Grant was up like flash. They were
sparring for a hold when Pete Sc
cured another leg hold and success
was his reward. Grant was unable
to rise.
After being assisted to his corner,
Grant was examined by the club physi-
clan and found to have broken rib.
Although the rib seemed to be caus-
ing him great pain, he was willing to
continue the match if the public de-
manded it. But Phoenix is too hu-
man and generous to make such a
demand
For the first 5S minutes Grant was
the aggressor and kept Pete busy
breaking jui-jitsu holds until he Sc
cured the Japanese arm lock, a new
one to Phoenix as well as Pete.
Pete came back fresh and speedy
for the second fall, and at times was
somewhat rough hut stayed inside of
the rules. Not only were both men
clean and cool-headed but neither was
afraid to mix it.
The semi-final was match between
King of Glendale and Young Pappas
of Phoenix, limited to fifteen minutes.
King, much the heavier Of the
two, won the first fall in two min
utes. After short rest, he won the
second in the same length of time.
First on the program was a fifteen
minute limited match between two
Juveniles, Young Stecher and Young
Biscuit" They got a good draw.

LEWIS SEES POSSIBILITY
OF WILSON THIRD TERM

In the event of European war
growing out OF the treaty, former
Senator James Hamilton Lewis. OF
Chicago, today predicted President
Wilson would be nominated at San
Francisco for a third term at the
White House.
The former Senator from Illinois
called at the Executive Offices to see
Secretary to the President Tumulty.
While there he gave his views on
the general situation.
Lewis pointed out that history
shows war has invariably followed
treaty making. and, in his opinion,
the present occasion would be no eN-
ccption. He did not foresee that the
United states would become embroiled
in such a war. but should one break
out II would practically force the
nomination of the President for a
third term.
II President Wilson Is not to be
considered as a candidate, he said,
then McAdoo, Palmer. Vice President
Marshall, Governor Cox and Champ
Clark are big possibilities, Palmer
or McAdoo IL an easterner is selected.
