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.
