Sockeye Jack McDonald's sol icitude for the welfare of Ref eree Earl Yoakley cost him his main cent wrestling match with Ju'npin' Joe Savoldl in the armory last night, and probably never again wiU the big ex-log ger turn his back on a desperate opponent to care for s third party in the rinr,. The falls stood one apiece af ter 10Vi minutes of torrid mat work svhen tne roof fell in on McDonald. Ha just tossed Sav oldl up and over the ropes and the pair were slugging toe to toe, separated by the hemp, when disaster struck, and not at Jump- In Joe. Yoakley, attempting to halt proceedings and get the brawl back on something resembling a legitimate basis, waa clipped on the button by Savoldl He sag ged backwards and sat down and McDonald Immediately e-.ided hostilities with Savoldl to In quire into Yoakley's general health. It wasn't so good, and as Mc Donald bent over to caress the spot on which Savoldl landed his wild clout the latter stormed back through the ropes and whacked Sockeye across the back of his neck, knocking him flat on his back. Savoldf then placed himself on top of McDonald. When Yoakley awoke, some seconds later, the two grapplera were still In that position. Wear ily the referee tolled off the three-count while the customers raved and ranted, and Savoldi's arm waa lifted in token of vic tory. Unhappy over the outcome, McDonald soared to his feet and the boys staged a short curtain call, with honors about even. It looks like a rematch. Six minutes elapsed before Savoldl, rebounding off the ropes after some interesting fist fighting, lashed out with a drop kick that caught McDonald In the face and sent him to the car pet for the first tumble. A mere half-minute later Mc Donald evened the score with a series of flips and a press. George Craig. Camp White blacksmith, proved he had lost little of his ability which made him a big favorite here some six years ago by taking two out of three falls from cowboy Dude Chick In the middle event. The deciding fall came In the fourth round when Craig, on top of Chick's shoulders and ap parently about to become the victim of the lariat spin, grab bed the top strand of the ropes. This threw Chick off balance and he toppled over, with Craig on top, and that was the fall. A body scissors and a press gave Chick the first fall in the second round, and Craig em ployed a body press to take the next tumble in the third heat. Big Jim Corbett used sonnen bergs and a body press to take the lone fall of his opening match with Chief Thunderblrd, the tumble coming in the fourth and final round, and Tex Climer, a cantonment worker, grabbed one fall from Nerval Stockstill of Talent with a body press, in the special event. The British Empire, before the war, covered about one fourth of the world's habitable surface. I'M SURPRtSSD YOU PAINT SO WILL!
