Wednesday, July 12, 1922 THE ORANGE SPORTS MONDT FAILS TO THROW MABEE ONCE IN HOUR Roy Mabee, the wrestling rancher, was never more popular with Anaheim mat devotees than he is today as the result of his coming thru last night's handicap match with Joe "Toots" Mondt with flying colors. Whereas, the Colorado giant had agreed to pin the local favorites shoulders to the mat twice within 60 minutes, he failed to do it once. Without question, it was the most interesting and exciting match ever staged in Anaheim. Instead of being content to stay the 60 minutes, Mabee assumed the offensive time after time and on occasion had Mondt decidedly worried. Both men are clean grapplers and there was no unnecessary roughness to detract from the enjoyment of the large and enthusiastic crowd which packed all available ringside seats and filled the body of the Grand comfortably. When the two were introduced and peeled off their bathrobes, Mondt's advantage in weight was vividly apparent. He must have topped Roy at least 20 pounds. However, it was soon evident that Roy's speed and science would make up the difference. Roy was wrestling all the way. As the 60 minutes drew to a close, Mondt became more than ever vigorous in his efforts to throw the local man. At the close of the match, Mabee announced that he would meet Taro Miyake, world’s champion Japanese wrestler and jiu jitsu exponent, here in two weeks, best two out of three falls. Mabee has been suffering from a cold for several days. Yesterday it became worse and those who were aware of this handlepot to his condition were dubious about the result of the contest. He said today: "I feel pretty much all in today on account of the cold. If it hadn’t been for that, I believe I would have been 15 pct. stronger last night. As it was, the match was gruelling to me. I am going to stay in close and nurse this cold. If I can’t throw it off in a week, I will have to postpone the match with Miyake until I can get in shape again." In the preliminary, Allen Foss of Miss France Rosemary Alumni first international Paris. Another r of the Oakesmen two handed javelin. What Sargum Sprout Thinks of Big Match Say, folks, did you see the wrestling match last night at the Grand when Joe "Toots" Mondt attempted to upset our Roy Mabee? Toots was to have thrown Roy twice within sixty minutes. He failed to even get one fall. It wasn't Toots's fault that he didn't throw Mabee, for he surely wrestled and is big and clever, but Roy, man, he is a hard one to pin! There was not a slow minute in the entire sixty. I think the fans got all they expected and then some. Mondt appeared to outweigh Roy a great deal and displayed more strength. Roy was in trouble several times, but always managed to free himself. The finish found both men on their feet, but very tired. With a few weeks' training to harden Roy up a bit, he would be our choice in a finish match. Roy proved to the fans that he was out to give them their money's worth. Miss France Rosemary Alumni first international Paris. Another r of the Oakesmen two handed javelin.

Roy proved to the fans that he was out to give them their money's worth. He never allowed Mondt to rest a moment. If Mondt slowed a bit Roy became the aggressor. At the close, Roy found himself the center of a howling, joy-crazed bunch of fans. His gameness and extraordinary exhibition of the mat game sure raised him to a pinacle of popularity few wrestlers enjoy. There was a good preliminary, good music, in fact, the evening's entertainment was high-class all the way through. Yours, SORGUM SPROUT. ADMIT LADIES FREE TO ATHLETIC CLUB An announcement unusually interesting to the sport loving public, in particular to the fair sex, is that starting next Friday nite, ladies are to be admitted free to the boxing shows held at the Arena of the Anaheim Athletic Club. Ladies, accompanied by escorts, will be entitled to any seat in the reserved or ringside section (first row ringside excepted) absolutely free. There are a goodly number of the fair sex attending the weekly athletic doings at the Sugar Factory grounds and they are the biggest and strongest boosters that the club has. Manager Billy Darnley wishes it understood that there is nothing in the least offensive that would strain any gentleman from bringing his wife, mother, sister or sweetheart. Everything is run in a clean, orderly manner. So once more, the management empahses the wish to see more of the ladies at the entertainments and for them to remember all they have to do in order to attend is to get hubby or big brother, dad, uncle, gradpa or sweetheart to bring them and they will be given a choice seat with escort. Friday nite's card looks good in print. Jack Martin, who boxes Ted Frenchie in the main event, again beat Jack Moore at Vernon last nite in what was just about the star bout of the evening. Leonard Lee and Kid Louie meet in the semi-windup Four good preliminaries are also down on the program. Ticket reservations can be secured at the United Cigar Stores—Anaheim Barber shop and Dugas and McGaugh cold for several days. Yesterday it became worse and those who were aware of this handicap to his condition were dubious about the result of the contest. He said today: "I feel pretty much all in today on account of the cold. If it hadn't been for that, I believe I would have been 15 pct. stronger last night. As it was, the match was gruelling to me. I am going to stay in close and nurse this cold. If I can't throw it off within a week, I will have to postpone the match with Milyake until I can get in shape again." In the preliminary, Allen Foss of Perris, in his second meeting with John McClain,Santa Ana deaf mute, won easily, getting the first fall in 16½ minutes with a body Nelson and the second in 2:07 minutes with a wrist lock and body Nelson. Sandow, wearing a championship belt won at Boston, was introduced and announced his readiness to meet anyone his weight. He is training Al Sparkes and expects to have him in shape within two months to meet Mabee again. Said Dow is making Long Beach his headquarters. Billy Darnley was referee and announcer. CAN'T CLAIM B. B TITLE, SAYS KNOTT Manager Billy Knott of the Anaheim Elks baseball crew, was surprised to read in a local paper that the locals had already won the championship for this division, altho not half the games scheduled have been played. "Of course I'm as strong a backer as anyone of our bunch to win the honors," says Manager Billy, "but we haven't won anything yet and I don't believe in bragging about it until we do. That's when games are lost, and we haven't any easy games to lose. We've got a lot of fighting yet before we can claim the title of this section of the league, and then we've only begun to go after the state title." Baseball Standings PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying THE WORLD INCOMPLETE—Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette. We are accustomed to think of this earth of ours as a finished product, since it cooled off, and the life we know came into being. We do not expect new mountain chains to arise from its bosom, or old ones to subside suddenly. We cannot conceive another glacial lands along the shore. Those who have studied the action of the resilient water are arguing for national activity, on the ground that everywhere along the Atlantic the ocean gains upon the land by erosion, and particularly where the land is low Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying THE WORLD INCOMPLETE — Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette. We are accustomed to think of this earth of ours as a finished product, since it cooled off, and the life we know came into being. We do not expect new mountain chains to arise from its bosom, or old ones to subside suddenly. We cannot conceive another glacial period, nor do we want one. But every now and again we hear of change in the world's face. Not infrequently a volcanic eruption blows the top off a mountain or creates new islands in the seas. Occasionally some great river changes its bed in flood time and counts its victims by tens of thousands. Not many months ago "the mountain walked," said Chinese peasants near the scene, and the whole physical configuration of a district as large as the state of Ohio was made over in a night. Now, nearer home, our attention is directed to the unceasing encroachments of the seas. Along the flat Jersey coast the annual loss of acreage has at last attracted the attention of the state government and a large appropriation has been asked with a view to the protection of cities and farm lands along the shore. Those who have studied the action of the restless water are arguing for national activity, on the ground that everywhere along the Atlantic the ocean gains upon the land by erosion, and particularly where the land is low and rock is lacking. The situation, it seems, is far more acute even than along the Great Lakes, where, since the white men came, the water has cut away a foot of bank a year despite all private effort at beach protection by means of piers and brake-waters. The Jersey towns which cry out for protection have in mind the plight of Galveston after the big wind, and recall the tales of whole cities of medieval England now vanished in the waters of the Channel. They point to populous districts in the Orient literally engulfed by typhoon-driven waves. Man's struggle with nature is always worth watching—and usually futile. One cannot but wonder whether the land along the Jersey coast which can be saved for a generation or two is worth anything like what it must cost to thwart the Atlantic. MRS. OBENCHAIN IN SERIOUS COLLAPSE LOS ANGELES, July 12. After having dropped to floor of her cell in a faint as she was dressing early today, Madalyne C Obenchain apparently was near collapse at the county jail today as she was assisted by attendants to the court room of Superior Judge Shenk for the resumption of her trial on a charge of having murdered J. Bolton Kennedy in a love vengeance plot. Following an interruption of her trial yesterday on account of her condition, it was said at the matrons' quarters this morning that Mrs. Obenchain spent a restless night. It was said she appeared to be suffering from intense pain on the right side of her head. She made the effort to return to the court room this morning against the advice of her friends.
