The Plain Dealer ALL SET FOR MAT TITLE GO TUESDAY With the first world's championship battle or any branch of sport ever staged in Orange-co. but 24 hours away, Roy Mabee, Anaheim's wrestling rancher and challenger of Ad Santel, light-heavyweight mat titleholder, appears in the pink of condition after the most careful training period he has ever gone thru. Mabee is doing nothing today and tomorrow but take things easy, at least as easy as possible in the last minute rush of preparations for the big battle for which he has had to act as his own promoter. Roy went over to Riverside Saturday evening and by way of winding up his mat training flopped Gus Larking, 180-pounder of Chicago, in straight falls of 38 and 12 minutes each. The match was under the auspices of the American Legion in convention there and was staged at the Y. M. C. A. He was backed by the greatest enthusiasm from the servicemen who insisted that he return for another match later. Santel was expected to roll into Anaheim late this afternoon in a mud-splattered car from Frisco.

Tickets have been reserved for two carloads from Perris, one carload from Hemet, two from Riverside, two from Long Beach and one from Los Angeles. A fast preliminary is assured in the reappearance of Hill from Perris and Quigley from Norwalk who staged the best show opener ever seen here at the last Mabee-Padillo match.
