meets KATONEN
Head Crackers to
In Top Half of
Collide
Double
Main Event; Gong at 8:30
It will be Paavo Katonen's
turn to feel the stunning shock
of a hard-as-rock cranium smash
ing Into his when he goes against
the "Gray Mask," hooded bad
man, In the top half of a double
main event in the armory grap
pling ring tonight.
The "Mask," whose vicious
head-butts cooled off Coast
Light-Heavy Champ Jack Kaiser
on last week's program, plans to
emDloy the same devastating,
but legal, tactics against the
husky Finn, ex-coast titlist.
Head-Butts Legal
Those head-butts are legal
that is. if "The Mask" hasn't
concealed under his bonnet some
sort of a shock absorber. From
the way he staggered Kaiser last
week by ramming his noggin
against Jack's, while remaining
upright and apparently unaffect
ed by the collisions, himself, a
touch of suspicion was injected
Into the minds of a number of
fans and members of the box
ing and wrestling commission.
Is the "Gray Mask" just a
hard-headed hombre who can
knock guys silly with his dome,
or does he have under the head
covering a concealed weapon?
That's the question that has been
asked by more than one local
citizen ever since last Thursday
night. -
Nobody knows for sure, but
suspicions have been aroused
and it can be stated that the
boxing and wrestling commish
will watch things pretty closely
when the "Mask" and southpaw
Katonen start tossing and belt
ing each other around the area.
Kaiser vs Davidson
Kaiser, fully recovered from
the beating he suffered at the
hands of the "Gray Mask" last
weekv will tackle Harold (Buck)
Davidson In the lower half of
the double main event, both of
which will be for an hour's
straight wrestling time or the
best two out of three falls.
Davidson is inclined to be
rather off-color in his mat work
at times ami " appears Kaiser
has his work cut out for him.
Tex Porter, a clean and scien
tific performer, faces Pat
O'Dowdy, at tho other extreme,
In the three-round opener get
ting under way at 8:30 shnrp.

Lumber Demand to
Drop After War Is
Byrnes Prediction
Washington, Sept. 28 OI.R)
Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes predicted today that war
demand for lumber would fall
off after the end of the European
war to such an extent that
enough wood and building ma
terials would be available to fill
all needs for private construc
tion. Byrnes estimated that 1944
lumber production would be
1 36,000,000,000 feet, compared
with the ia:i output of 28,000,
000,000 feet. He said recent sur
veys indicated that the lumber
situation will remain tight after
"V-E" day but that there Will
be enough to take care of pri
vate construction.
War production board sources
said Byrnes was somewhat opti
mistic in bis predictions but that
there might be enough lumber
to meet "reasonable" building
demands after the German sur
render. U Mail Tnbuiw Want Ada
