FRESHMAN FACES SECOND DEFEAT WITHIN WEEK
Scotch Star Returns to Waterbury-Riley vs
 Doyle
BY HUGO HAMMERLOCK

When an Irish soldier goes to the mat with 8 Scotch cop something physically devastating ought to happen and probably will this even- ing when Danno O'Mahoney (pro- nounced o-MAH-ony) tangles with burly and belligerent George (Dazz- i ler) Clark. Danno, who made 8 try for Steve Crusher Casey's cham pionship earlier this week but last is or was member of the Irish Free State constabulary while Clark was f1atfoot in dear old Dundee until both of them found out there was gold in them thar wrestling rings of America where there may not be chicken in every pot but one need never be short of corned beef and cabbage or wee drop of heather-dew (Scotch whisky) if the need is urgent.
 Danno Is "Sore"
 Therefore, OMahony and Clark have been paired in 8 mat bout to- night at Buckingham hall that will go best two of three falls. Having lost to Casey this week, Danno will be in no mood for trif1ing but Clark is just the type of wrestler who can pin the Irishman's ears back if the going gets really rough, which it bids fair to do. There are many pos- abilities to the go, which is very att tractive from 8 sporting standpoint and chances of a near-capacity au- dience sitting in on the show are bright, indeed.
 Wally Dusek of the Nebraska ''riot squad" meets up with The Shiek in semi-final go that should produce some real good wrestling and not 8 few laughs from the bewhiskered, bare-footed Shiek who knows his holds despite most forlorn-look- ing "pan."
 Bald Pat Riley of Texas who was nearly pinched in Hartford last night for "roughin' it" will be pret- ty much of a headache for Boston Bill Doyle, who looked good two weeks ago in his lone local appear ance which went to draw. Dr. Fred Meyer, Jewish champion and a former Olympic team light-heavy- weight competitor opens the show with Murderous Marvin Westenberg in half hour bout scheduled for starting at 8:30 o'clock.

New York, April 1.-(UP).-Those battling westerners, Fred Apostoli of San Francisco, and Glenn Lee of Edison, Neb., who gave New York CTS one of the most savage middle weight brawls ever seen, tangle again tonight in Madison Square Garden.

Steele's man. ager, Ed Miller, is now negotiating for 8 10-round title defense against Young Corbett at San Francisco in June. As a result Promoter Mike Jacobs is trying to match tonight's winner with British Empire Cham pion Jock McAvoy in big outdoor match here in May.
