It's "Ladies Night", with all women admit ted free. Ladies Night Mat Bee Lists Triple' Main ,A si viaaa Australian tag taam battle, much betfer known in these parts as a triple tag scrap, highlights the card at the Armory tonight, one that will see all wom en fans admitted free of charge. It's Matchmaker Elton Owen's annual "Ladies Night" special, with all female patrons permitted to occupy any seat in the place, other than those in the ringside areas. The "triple" lines up like this: John Paul Henning, Don (Billy Goat) Kindred and Scotty Wil liams on one side, against Bill (Bull) Savage, Buck Weaver and Maurice LaChapelle on the other. Regular triple tag team rules prevail for the squabble, and if it's like what few other six-man tag mixes have been like here in the past, it'll be a rip-snorter. A prelim, but one booked for 2-of-3 falls and an hour in time, starts off the card at 8:30 o'clock. Catalina George Drake, not seen here in recent months, goes against Henry (Golden Boy) Lenz In this one. The tag clash is to be a 2 -of 3 faller also, with a one-hour time limit. In last week's matches Henning won over-the-top battle royal, a hectic scramble all the way, La Chapelle joined the Savage- Weaver team for tonight's fare after havine hi nut with Hen. ning last week. Kindred has some ! nlans in mind also, for he was victimized hv Savace in the unu melee.

Of course there are' exceptions, Austin adds. But they are few.
