UTZ "Men's Wear" E TANGLE Two fellows who don't have any particular love for each other will see what they can do SELAKI, about the matter in Monday night's main mat event in the armory. The trails of Sockeye Jack McDonald and Prince Selakl Mihalikis have crossed a num ber of times in the past several years and on each occasion the result has been a bitter, play-for-keeps struggle. Last time the pair cam to grips, though unofficially, was during and after last Monday's Mihalikis-Craig match, which McDonald refereed. The Prince, at one point In O the contest, got frisky and took a swing at Sockeye, and Sock eye promptly knocked him flat. Then, after the fracas, when Mihalikis was fuming and foam ing at the mouth and acting like a wild-man, McDonald was forced to help calm him down with a couple of knocks to the jaw and a knee to the same place. .This stopped Mihalikis for the time being, but left him aflame with the determination to get McDonald in the ring in a regu lation match and work htm over. The Prince asked Pro moter Mack Lillard to get Mc Donald for him, and needless to say McDonald wasn't hard to get. The Mihalikis tactics aren't described in the better books on "How to Wrestle," although the Q Arabian prince can maneuver around with the best o? the legi timate matmen. More and more, though, he is relying on off color stuff, and disliking Mo Donald as he does the expecta tions are for an alley-brawl of the first water.
