the world. and George Zaharias, mad
man Of the mat game. slated to come
to grips Thursday night of next week
at Griffith Stadium, followers Of the
wrestling racket are expecting to wit

year.
Promoter Joe Turner, prompted by
the 10000 turnout at the O'Mahony-
Joe Savoldi scrap, has obtained in
Zaharias the most Furnishing wrestler
in the grunt game. O'Mahony has ad-
mitted that his toughest tangle has
been with the Greek grappler, whom
he tossed prior to obtaining the title.
Additional police probably will be
added to the ball park force for the
match, for Zaharias arouses local fans
more than any wrestler to appear here
and his foul tactics have created
many near-riots.
Promising preliminaries will be ar
ranged during the coming week, ac-
cording to Turner. Reservations are

This one will do. George" he said.
George tucked in his chin. gulped a
little and said, "All right" But it
hurt, for Roger will have that blade
two weeks or so. And meanwhile
George, who had been knocking the
ball in from anywhere on the green
with that self-same putter, goes back
to his old aluminium weapon. If
Roger can knock EN- In out there in
