De SALES WHEELER
SEEKING OFFICE

From Republican scources ii is
learned that Harry De Sales Wheeler
has decided to become candidate for
the Democratic nomination for cor.
poration commissioner. The Demo.
crates who participated in the Tucson
conference. and who believe the con-
ference was good and proper, have no
criticism to make of any person not
Endorsed by the conference seeking
office. II was expected and hoped
there would be other candidates.
The case of Mr.. Wheeler has moth.
ing TO do with the conference. In
1920 he was candidate for the Dem.
ocratic nomination for Secretary of
State, and he took course so dis
loyal to his party and so much in
keeping with the desires of the Re.
publican party that his candidacy at
this time is an insult to the inte!li.
gence of every real Democrat in the
State,
Mr.. Wheeler, beaten in the pri-
mary. contested In court the nomi,
nation of his opponent. and did SO
while the general election campaign
was in progress. The republicans
made much of Mr., Wheeler's allega-
tions. and he alleged a great deal.
II is said Mr.. Wheeler.s paseless
charges caused the defeat of two Dem
ocratic nominees for office in Yavapai
County.
The Wild and reckless charges OF
Mr.. Wheeler were published in G.
O. p. press. and his utterances given
much publicity. all to the detriment
of the Democratic party. Mr.. Wheeler
asserted they were true. yet, when
the election day was passed, he at
once dropped all legal action-there
was no use OF 1t. since the republi-
can nominee had won, and Mr. Wheel
ers object had been attained.
II Mr.. Wheeler should not win the
nomination for corporation commits

said in his behalf is that he has more

The Democratic party. or any other

Chess by Wireless
 Is Latest Novelty

New York, June 6.--when busi- ness interferes with pleasure, then Edward Lasker, American amateur chess champion, suggests wireless.
 He made the suggestion last week to his friend E. T. Gundlach. & chess enthusiast. Today it was carried out.
 Gundlach and the champion were prepared to engage in a match that business meetings had long post poned. The former received word that he was wanted in London at once, as they put the pieces away. disappointment prompted the cham pion to suggest wireless and the ar- arrangements were made.
 Gundlach sailed on the President Taft last Saturday, and today the long postponed match was begun by wireless. Mir. Gundlach's moves were sent in by wireless to the office of United States lines here, are decoded and then wired to Mir. Lasker in Chi cage. The champions moves are re- ceived by wire here and then coded for wireless transmission to the President Taft. Twenty-six moves were made by both players In the first day of play. Gundlach playing white and Lasker black. A black knight was moved in danger of a pawn in one of the closing plays of the day, but experts here believe there is some subtle reason for this move on the part of the business man

The knockout came toward the close of the sixth round
 It was a ripping left-hand swing that caught Barrett full on the solar plexus. He dropped to the mat. writh- ing with pain. and at the count of 10. when the bell rang, his second jumped into the ring to revive him. Many persons in the crowd believed the blow was low, but Referee Her man Taylor declared 1t was not. Barrett was given a hasty medical keeping the crowd away from the prostrate boxer. He was not badly hurt.
 TendIer OutcIasses Foe
 From the beginning until the fin- ishing blow, Tendler showed that he was the master Although boxers were said to have weighed in at 137k ringside. Barrett appeared to De lighter and was more immature than his opponent.
 Barrett repeatedly attempted to get in a knockout with wild left swings, but Tendler was too clever. He hit Tender a few times, but the blows, although seeming to have great power, had no effect
 Tender In the meantime. kept up shower of right jabs to the face which drew blood before the end of the first round
 When Tender and Barrett entered the ring at the Philadelphia National league baseball park tonight for their scheduled eight-round fight they were cheered by more than 10000 persons, one of the largest crowds s that ever attended a boxing match In this city. Many of the spectators were women.
 The fighters weighed in at ring side. both tipping the beam at 137 1s pounds.
 Tcndfer Starts Drive l In the first round after a cautious start, Tender drove into Barrett with series of swings to the body, interspersed with several sharp jabs to the face. Before the close of the round, Barrett was bleeding from the nose, and as the gong sounded Tender had his opponent well on the run.
 Barrett tried his vicious swings In the second round, but Tender was too fast for him, Barrett's attempted blows missing their mark on each occasion. Tender did little jut iab Barrett in the face with his right in this round.
 Tender Forces Foe In the third and fourth rounds, Tendler forced Barrett to take a lot of punishment. The Philidelphian i kept jabbing with his right to Bar rett's face, with an occasional slash ing uppereut that had his opponent | bleeding freely from the nose and mouth when the third round ended.
 The fourth was a repetition of the 1 third. with Barrett attempting more of his wild swings, none of which landed. Tender, in the meantime, i continued to hammer Barrett all over the body and several times had him staggering.
 Barrett was knocked out in the sixth with left to the stomach.
