most sensational ever staged in Wash
ington. Both men are doing heavy train
ing, and Ozar is expected 10 arrive in
town late Saturday.
Besides being a genius on the mat Jack
OZar is considered one Of the fastest
automobile drivers in that section Of
Pennsylvania, and it is nothing for him
to hit up ninety-five miles an hour. And
Ozar boasts OF having a clean record by
not being arrested as yet.
Turner has adopted a number OF jiu
jitsu holds lately, and once he gets one
Of these holds it generally means defeat
to his opponent. He is figuring on using
to the best Of his ability all the holds
possible. and is confident he will beat his
man.
The referee for the match as yet has
not been decided. some disagreement has
arisen between the grapplers. thus the
delay in getting a man to both mems
liking. Pat O'Connor's name is slated
also the official referee of Panama,
George Huber, and George Fisher. Ar
rangements will be settled by Saturday
who the referee will be. Seats are now
selling, no advance in prices.
