UTZ Wear" SOCKEYE TO MEET TUG CARLSON ON ARMORY MAT CARD Last Monday night Sockeye Jack McDonald, in an Im promptu speech to armory wrestling customers, declared that he'd show people just how tough he could be if given a match against one of the so cailed bad boys of Promoter Mack Lillard's current mat con tingent Well, the big ex-logger will get his chance to make good on the promise to linquidate such an opponent tomorrow night in the one-hour main event of the weekly grapple program, for he'll be striding to the post against Tug Carlson, the blonde Minnesotan whose tactics have thus far been anything but scientific. On last week's card Carlson battled Billy Marcus in one ot the roughest brawls yet seen here, and although he lost on a foul he showed enough vicious ness and bad manners to earn the shot against McDonald, who drew with Pedro Brazil in a great one-hour struggle. McDonald, in that Brazil match, confined his efforts to straight mat work in line with Pedro's desiies, but no such thing will occur when he gets in there against Carlson. Sock eye plans to simply belt the Scandinavian Scourge into dreamland in a hurry. To make way for the alley- brawl main event, Pedro Brazil has been dropped into the semi windup spot, where he will clash with Irish Jim Casey. Both these- boys are great favorites and should stage a fine legiti mate match. A SPECIAL DAY FOR ALL MOTHERS Sunday. May 10th Is Mother's Day Send her a card to show you remember.
