SANTEL THROWS
PETE SAUER At
SAN FRANCISCO

Pete Sauer OF Phoenix met his first
defeat since leaving his home town
when Ad Santel pinned his shoulders
to the mat at San Francisco Monday
night. Just before the bout Sauer
received a message from the Phoe-
nix fire laddies wishing him luck in
his Frisco debut, but Santel was too
much for the Phoenix favorite.
The following report of the match
is taken from the San Francisco EX-
aminer OF March 16:
Ad SanteI clamped a couple OF
mean holds on Pete Sauer at Dream
land Rink last night and the fire lad
dies in Phoenix, Ariz., Pete's home
town, will get the sad news by wire.
The first fall came in l hour
minutes 80 seconds as a result of an
arm scissors. The second fall was
in II minutes 28 seconds when San
tel pulled cradle hold for the first
time in his career.
Santel got his first fall with his
famous arm scissors He had
clamped several on Pete, but the
burly Arizonan broke them in turn.
The repeated appliance OF the scis-
sors, however, weakened Sauer and
he gave in to Santel on the last
scissors.
Coming back for the second fall
Sauer surprised the audience by
clamping Santel with an arm lock
and. a head scissors. He held Ad
for several minutes, but the cham
pion broke the hold. A few min
utes afterward Ad threw Sauer again
with an arm scissors and cradle hold.
In the preliminaries Angelo Tara
manaschi beat Demon Dittmar in IA
minutes and seconds. George Hol-,
den beat Dick Doolin in 10 minutes
and 40 seconds.

Declares Apache Trail Is Finest
Scenic Asset Possessed By Nation

Speaking Of the repairs soon to be
made on the Apache Trail through
federal aid and the aid of Maricopa
county. Mr.. Fee said:
I'VE all know that the road in its
present condition is most deplorable,
hundreds of tourists having turned
back from the Roosevelt dam to
Globe because of it. The work of
making substantial repairs, which is
to be undertaken promptly is most
creditable, and the people OF Phoenix
and vicinity are TO be congratulated
that this will be done at once, in view
OF the large Shriner and Rotarian
travel that is certain to come in the
month OF June.
THE Water Users association has
stated that it will rebuild and relo-
cate the road for a distance of 10
miles, where it will be submerged on
account, Of irrigation projects, and
with this definite promise nothing
should be allowed to interfere with
the prompt reconstruction of this
main road, which viii make it one Of
the scenic roads of the world.
1T is gratifying to note that Mar
icopa county, with the federal au-
thorities and others interested, are
not making the very grave mistake
that was made by our national gov
ernment in the early history of the
Yellowstone National park, after that
wonderful region had been set apart
as a playground for all time of all
people. AS an officer in charge Of
the passenger traffic Of the Northern
Pacific railway. the first all-rail line
to reach the new reservation, | wit
messed with deep concern the very
small appropriations made by con-
gress for several years in succession,
rarely amounting to more than $780,
600 per annum. which were barely
sufficient TO put the highways in the
park in passable condition following
the melting of the SHOWS and the
heavy rains of the late winter and
spring months.
1.-THE amounts appropriated were
altogether too small to permit OF any
real road building. and as a conse-
quence the temporary road work OF
the late summer and fall months was
dissipated by the floods of the fol-
lowing spring, and the few tourists
who made the trip during the sum-
mer months following went away TO
make the statement to their friends:
Yes, visit the Yellowstone by all
means but, for Heavens sake wait
until the highways are completed and
the dust laid, otherwise YOU will have
no comfort in making this Journey

ME Dobbert has again joined the To-

the boxing game is good in the bor-

Ben has added another boy to his
stable, Joe Matranga of New Or

with Just 20 bouts to his credit. He
lost a six round bout to Danny Nunes
but any OF the boys take chances
with Danny. Joe is 20 years OF age
and fights at 126 pounds. Ben says
Matranga is the most promising
featherweight he has seen in long
time and he expects big things from
his new battler.

hits like a welter and due TO his hit
ting ability he has been forced TO

has been greatly strengthened at its
one weak spot. However for a club
to be in the running 1t must get good
pitching.
In a measure the Washington
pitching staff hinges around Walter
Johnson. Walter is, of course, the
ace of the staff. He must go good
for the club to get anywhere. If
Walter is able to win, say 25 games,
the Nationals must be reckoned
with.
The success of Johnson is not an
individual matter. 1t has a direct
bearing of the greatest importance
on the rest of the team. With John
son pitching bang-up ball the morale
of the club is improved so per cent.
The confidence of every other pitcher
is also greatly increased.
For Manager Zeb Milan, Walter
is bigger issue than any of the
recruits. Walter at times looked as
good as ever last year. At the fin
ish he was going great guns If he
can start in where he left off il is
going to mean a great deal to the
chances of the Washington team.
The case of Grover Cleveland AL
exander of the Chicago Cubs is very
much similar to that Of Johnson. If
Alexander regains the form that
made him famous in days gone by
the chances Of the Cubs will be much
improved.

other teams. VIII Urban Shocker

CAMP ON

Camp has been established at the
site of the Cave Creek dam and the
first carload Of equipment has ar
rived. according to Lynn S. Atkinson,
Jr., contractor in charge Of building
the important protective dam, who
established temporary headquarters
in the Hotel Adams yesterday.
Several additional carloads OF
equipment are now enroute here from
various points, both east and west,
and are expected to arrive soon. In
stallation of a gravel plant has start
ed and work of erecting the big con-
crete plans will be started within
few days.
Building the dam is the smallest
part of the work. Mr.. Atkinson ex-
planned. The real nerve and energy
exertion period is in making prepa-
rations to pour the concrete. Once
the preliminaries are over and actual
construction is started the work gem
orally runs along pretty smoothly"
The dam site is now being cleared
preparatory to excavation work
which will be started as soon as the

In all probability Larry never re-

day any number of ball players are

who in no way compared with the

much more.

an overland passenger by leaving

more through some of the grandest

Spring. HulAm6hossip
BV Bilh Evans

What will the harvest be from the
crop of baseball recruits that is now
blooming in the South?
Major league club owners have in
vested thousands of dollars in prom
ising young ball players in a hope
that one or two will show enough
merit to be classed as big leaguers.
Already it is apparent that some
of the highly touted youngsters will
not do. In a good many cases the
managers have just about decided
what players really have chance to
make the grade.
The wedding out of the recruits in
the spring is big proposition. Some
times snap judgment is necessary,
and in baseball snap judgment often
goes wrong. A manager hates to cut
loose from some youngster and later
see the recruit come back with some
other club and develop into a star.
Such a mistake is quite a slap at
the managerial judgment Of the lead
err who so errs. For that reason the
recruits who appear TO have q chance
are carefully nursed along. Often the
most promising are carried for a
month or six weeks of the regular
sea son before being shunted back to
the minors.
While the recruit problem is the
big issue there are others facing a
number of major league managers.
They deal with the veteran players
rather than the recruits, and the
success of these veteran players real
ly means more to the changes Of va
rious clubs in 1922 than does the work
Of the recruits.
The addition of Roger Peckin-
paugh to the Washington club has
rounded out that team. The club

judging from the number that have

In the event that 20 or more games
are played during the season a silver
