Pete Sauer has met and defeated
some clever wrestlers since coming
to Phoenix, but none of his opponents
have been in a class with Sam Clap

champion, his next match at Tally's
Arena.
The inside boys have been predict
ing defeat for Peter in every match,
but Peter goes right on tossing the
best they produce and saying nothing.
Each time he tackles a harder and
more experienced man, and each time
he pins 'em down with striking regu-
larity. He has firmly entrenched him.
self in local sporting circles, despite
a few who contend that Peter has
been favored in the arena. Sauer is
a good sport, gentleman, and as
fine a fellow as you will meet in any
walk of life. Win or lose, Peter will
retain the many friends he has made
since his arrival in the city of Phoe

In addition to the Clapham-Sauer

Matchmaker Tally has arranged two

test and a four-round boxing contest
between Walter Sinclair and Sherill

D ENT OF ALABAMA A
OPPOSED APPOINTMENT
OF EMMETT ]. SCOTT
Especial to The Tribune)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 = Some
time ago S. II, Dent, a demagogic
congressman from the state of Ala
bama. who was for a while chairman
of the committee on military affairs,
was defeated for denomination
Dent is a southerner of the cheap
cracker type who did all he could dur
ing the world war in connection with
the selective service regulations to
prevent the draft from applying to
white and colorsd soldiers alike. He
eagerly sought some subterfuge
whereby he could have one set of
regulations apply to colored men and
another set to white men. This un-
democratic effort was squelched by
the ranking republican member of
the committee, Mr.. julius Kahn, and
his republican party associates. Dent,
OF course. was playing up, or down,
to his demagogic constituents while
reflecting his own cheap type of mind
The secretary of war also fought
Mr.. Dent efforts and to snow that
he had no sympathy with him called
DR.. Emmett J. Scott to Washington
to serve as special assistant to the
secretary of war. DR.. SCOTS designa-
tion was made plain in the Official
Bulletin of the government. through
the Associated Press, and is set forth
in full detail in DR.. Scott's book, "The
American Negro in the World War"
Dent was defeated by his consti-
tuents for denomination on the ground
that colored man had served in the
war department as an assistant sec
retary of war, and that Dent should
have prevented it. To square himself
with his constituents, Dent has re-
quested the secretary of war to say
that Dr. Scott was not an Assistant
Secretary of War" but a Special AS
sistant to the Secretary of War"
1t is well known that during the war
hundreds of nen were called to Wash
ington to serve in special relation
ships. No political implication was
involved in DIR. Scott's service as he
makes clear in his book He served,
as hundreds of other republicans
served the government including such
men as Mr. Taft, Justice Hughes,
Benedict Crowell. julius Rosenwald,
E. r. Stettinius, and hundreds of 9th
ers. Both the secretary of war and
Dr. Scott clearly understood that he
was rendering service to our govern
ment in time of need and not political
service.
Secretary Baker in his letter to
Dent, states: "Dr. Scott's assistance
was of the greatest value to the gov
ernment and to the people of the
colored race" The cheap politics by
which southern politicians are kept in
congress is nauseating to say the least
