WRESTLERS END
 TRAINING; READY
 FUR HARD MATCH

Tomorrow afternoon will witness the best grappling event that has ever rbeen staged in Phoenix. Both Gion and Sauer finished their hard course of training yesterday and both men are in the pink of condition. Today will be day of rest for the star mat artists and neither will indulge in any more hard work
 Sauer had an unusually busy day at the '. M. C. A. yesterday and after an hours hard work with a couple of husky men stated that he was in the best shape of his career. Pete looked it, too, for he did not draw 8 heavy breath after his busy workout. Sauer feels confident of victory but l has all kinds of respect for his oppo- nent and says he will be In there try | ing to end the fracas as soon as pos sible.
 Says Sauer Overrated
 Gion seems to think that Pete is oyerrated here and says he will have an easy time in dropping the local grappler. Having met the best men in America and Canada, and having defeated such classy heavweights as pr. Roller, Jess Westergaard, Jack Tay-
 Tor and many others, Gion feels that
 the local pride is outclassed and an ticipates an early ending to the match , Gion is undoubtedly the classiesl } man that ever came to this city. He ] is the light heavyweight champion oi
 Canada and has held the belt, embla- ; matic of the Canadian wrestling cham pionship, for seven consecutive years He brought this belt with him and il l will be placed on exhibition at Eddie l Doyles cigar stand today at 12 o'clock } where it can be inspected by the fans
 Gion is going to meet whole lot oi } opposition from Sauer. While the Ca l nadian will outweigh Pete in expert ] ence, ring generalship and craftiness
 the local boy has one asset that vii 7 more than offset any advantage that the Canadian chmp my have. Tn ! one particular asset is youth, whicf
 so often has decided contests O strength and cleverness. Pete has no
 reached his majority as yet and it i
 safe bet that the difference in ag' will have some bearing on tomorrow ! match.

COYOTES DEFEAT
 ALUMNI QU|NTE I. IN FAST BAT TLE

Better team work and superiority at the passing game gave Coach Rait's high school basketball five a victory over an all-star alumni quintet in an exciting game at the Y M. c. A. gym nasium last evening. The score was 35 to 20.
 The game was probably the fastest of the entire year, yet it was clean throughout, few personal fouls being called Much credit for the handling of the game is due Perry Rimer, an official referee of the American Anna teur Basketball association.
 Slagle was the big point scorer for the Coyote five, getting four field goals and 9 in If ties from the foul line, pill ing up total of 17 points for his squad. Oldham was not far behind however. with field baskets for a total of 16 points. The guarding of Hill and Captain Davies was far above the average and they materially aided their team mates in their clever pass ing work. The line-ups:

Those of you who have your health and are able to enjoy to the utmost the glorious climate of our state. I want to tell how, at this joyous Christmas season. others are not so fortunate, look forward to the greatest day of the year. here at St Luke's Home on the outskirts of Phoenix.
 Named after one of the 12 followers of Him whose natal day we celebrate, St. Luke's Home is a refuge for many who, unable to keep pace with the busy moving world have been com pelled to seek rest and q.uiet near the heart of nature.
 Because we have SO little share in the great world, Christmas means more to us at St. LuSe's than it does to many more busy and active per sons. For that reason we are looking forward to the celebration on Christ mas eve. when all those who are able. will attend the Christmas tree in the recreation hall. and receive the pres ents that Old Santa has left for them.
 Others of us will be with the Christ mas eve guests in spirit only, waiting patiently through the stiffness of the ( night. our hearts filled with good will toward all. far and wide Christmas at St. Luke's is the happiest occasion of the whole year, and He. without whose knowledge not even a sparrow falleth, will look after these, His chil- dren

ARTISTS TO ASSEMBLE
Concert of Unusual Merit on
Tuesday Night Feb. 10; the
Norwegian Nightingale.

It is seldom that the people Of
Bemidji have an opportunity of hear
ing the sort of program that is being
presented Tuesday evening", February
10th, at the Grand theatre by the
Lerstad Concert company, featuring
the "Norwegian Nightingales."
Agnes and Melvina Lerstad, who
have attained the above title, "The
Norwegian Nightingales," are singers
in the true sense of the word, and,
from all present indications; are des-
tined to go far in the world Of music.
The liquid melody of their voices,
combined with the sweet harmony of
the harp and the dulcet tones: Of the
violin, all supported by a perfect
piano accompaniment, produces an
effect at once pleasing and inspiring.
The serious tension Of the musical
program is relieved byEhumorous
readings on the part of Hazel, Bryng-
.elson, whose style is especially adapt
ed to o. Henry's stories, and whose
dramatic ability is surpassed by few.
, In fact it is seldom, on any, pro-
gram, that such a group Of artists are
and what they have to
offer is worth going far to hear. It
is hoped that the people Of 'Bemidji
will take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity and give this concert the sup
port it so well deserves.

MORE DEADLY THAN
THE MALE HAS A
STARTLING FINALE
New Ethel Clayton Picture Ia
Packed With Thrills
and Adventure

Ethel Clayton's new picture "More
Deadly Than the Male," is said to
have all the earmarks of melodrama
until just before the finale when a
few revelations turn it abruptly into
a delightful comedy drama. The cen
tral figure is a capable high-spirited
girl in love with a wealthy clubman
who is used to searching in queer
corners of the globe for excitement
and adventure. When she urges him
to settle down to useful occupation,
he retorts that there are no thrills in
modern civilization. Whereupon she
sets out to prove him mistaken.
All sorts Of hair-raising incidents
in mountain camp follow. The con-
servatory has been transformed into
an African jungle, he fights a fatal
duel with the girls supposed husband,
a dam bursts with nearly disasterous
results, and finally there is rip
snorting setto with the harbor police,
at the end of which the harrassed
hero is brought to, informed Of the
real state of affairs, and agrees to
stay close to the family fireside there
after.
The story was adapted from a
novelette, appearing in q popular fic-
ton magazine recently. ''More
Deadly Than the Male" will be the at
traction at the Elko theatre next
Wednesday and Thursday. It is a
Paramount-Artcraft picture directed
by Robert G. Vignola.

CHARLES RAY HAS
STRENUOUS BATTLE
IN new PICTURE
Fistic Encounter in "Crooked
Straight" Stopped Work ON
Film for Three Days

Charles Ray has one of the most
strenuous fights of his screen ca
reer in the Thomas H. Ince photoplay,
Crooked Straight" which comes to
the Elko theatre Friday and Saturday
of this week. And Mr.. Ray has had
some fights in the past. This one,
however, laid him up for three days.
the scene takes place on stairway,
and after a dramatic struggle Charles
is knocked down by his opponent. He
falls the full length of the stairs and
several feet beyond the foot. The
wind was completely knocked out of
him and he had to be picked up and
helped to comfortable chair after
the camera quit grinding. The scene
ended work for several days. The re-
suit on the screen justifes the price,
Mr.. Ray thought, as it is fine bit of
realism.
'Talk about your ring fights such
as had in "The Egg Crate Wallop,"
said Mr.. Ray, "a regular ring battle
is nothing compared with one of these
rough-ahd tumble scraps on stairs.
With all my training with the gloves
in the gymnasium and the grilling I
took in the last picture, l didn't sus-
tain one-third the bruises that 1 did
in this one."
"Crooked Straight" with feature
comedy ''The Simple Life" starring
the now famous Larry Semon and
special music each evening offers an
exceptional program at the Elko for
Friday and Saturday.
