BATTLE ROYAL TONIGHT The match wrestling fans have been waiting for what may be come a reality at Medford arm ory tonight when Mack Lillard presents a six-man battle royal as an added feature to his regu lar program of three matches. Mat bugs have been clamor ing for a long time for Lillard to pit the Gray Mask with Rough Rufus Jones. The impressario has done just that tonight but added something exta by toss ing Pete Belcastro, Joe Lynam, Gust Johnson and Angelo (Tony) Martinelli in the ring with the two head-butting specialists for a battle royal. Whether fans will get to see the Mask and the Detroit Darky together depends entirely on the other four gladiators. First two men thrown in the battle royal will makeup the first regulation match, second pair eliminated will collide in the second match and the last duo will make up the final bout. All matches will be for three rounds or one fall. Just about anything can hap pen in the battle royal for there is more than the normal amount of hatred between the principals. The Mask, Jones and Belcastro have no use for one another in or out of the ring while Lynam, Johnson and Martinelli don't exactly invite the others to their social functions.
