GREAT MOHAMET AND POJELLO IN
 MAIN MAT BOUT
Hendriquez to Wrestle An- nabaIIi; Praying Turk
 on the Program

Once again, Waterbury's mat- minded minions, who have turned out in numbers to warrant pains taking effort to please them, inso. far as a wrestling show is concerneds will be confronted with another league of nations" program to" night at Buckingham hall. Of the ten grapplers represented, there are nine nationalities, and in that re- spect at least, there is variety to burn. Promoter George Mulligan and Matchmaker Joe zonsirl have combined their efforts to put to- gether another program that is sure to send the fans home thoroughly satisfied that they have had more than their moneys worth.
 Turk Comes Back
 The return of Suliman Bey, the Praying Turk, on the basis of his last performance should be worth the price of admission. Tonight, the gent with the fez, prayer rung, two tin ears and a "baldy sour" will go to work on Count Ludwig Popu- lauski, the count" being the nur1- ber of times the Turk will boot him around the ring.
 Tn the main struggle, the Great Mahommet Hyob, all 230 pounds of him will tr yto pin Karl Pojello, the European champion and pride of LithuanianS in all parts of America. This bout, two out of three fall affair, or 90 minutes time limit should produce some fine wrestling. as the Mohammet, despite the fancy Inonicker, is rated as knowing his body slams and arm-locks well enough to subdue most of the better opponents used against him.
 Classy Bout
 Dr. Carlos Hendriquez, the epan- iard who tossed his last opponent in this city into Row 0 will show in semi-final bout with Lorenzo Anna balli, a man of Mussolini whose reputation for roughness behooves the Spanish squeezer to be on his guard continually. Hendriquez has met Annaballi before, and could gain nothing better than Q draw oSCAoAVAAs WA1SAA Ao WAJ AAG WALL w on his toes from start to finish to- night, unless the elusive Ailnabaln puts him out of commission. Able Matmen
 Sam Monaker, the Jewish boy who could pass for an arrow-collar model, will tangle with another fine looking physical specimen, Gentle man George Mezeneff, the Russian. Both young men, and good wrestlers, the pair should produce some of the finest mat work on the program for the benefit of those who know and appreciate the various holds and counters.
 Sam Varkas, the New Haven Greek, and Johnny Butwell of Na- gatuck will renew their fued, where they left off two weeks ago, the Naugatuck Lithuanian winning the decision in 8 close affair, which Varkas promises to reverse tonight. They will open the show at 8:S0 o'clock. "'

 Omaha" Doran says Cashin can ring in anyone he pleases, for he believes his team of Ernie Little Caesar" Schiavone, Butch" De Vito, Big Jake Bernstein and Tony the Barber, plus himself on "Al Capone" will be invincible.
 Others who will be seen in ac- tion during the course of the eve- ming will be Charley Leader, roc tund physical director at the Y, Ray Snyder, Willow street embalmers who may realize a little business from the attraction, Joe Kleinman, the singing waiter, Pete Dunne and officer McWeeney.

The Reymond Hillies and the Hill Juniors, two of the leading junior teams on Washington Hill will meet tonight in the main game of triple header at the washington Park Community House. Tn the other games the league leading Commit nity Club will meet the Robins and the Co-Eds will stack up against one of the leading girls teams in the state.
 Important Game
 The Hillies are in second place and must take over their rivals if they are to be counted on to cop the honors in the first round which will close next week. Both the Hillies and Hill Juniors met defeat at the hands of the Community Club and the latter also dropped 2 close decision to the Wells last week while the Doughboys hold Q win over the Wells, making them Q slight favorite to take over the Juniors.
 Looks Easy
 The Community Club should have little trouble in chalking up their sixth straight league win at the ex- pense of the Robins who have yet to vii, a league tilt this year. Should the Hill Juniors take over the Hillies and the Community Club win their game the latter team will be crowned champions of the first round. The Community Club team meets the Mohawks next week and provided they should drop this tilt and the Hillies win their two re- maining games both teams will flu- ish in a deadlock for first round honors.
