Mars To Meet Jack Hader In
Opening Match Of Pro-
gram At Stadium

Milo Steinborn, the former strong
man exhibitionfst, who created a
mild sensation in wrestling circles
here last week with his ring per
formances, will be back on the mat
at Legion stadium tonight, meeting
Tommy Marvin, a newcomer who
brings with him a reputation as
being a tough man to handle both
in and out Of the ring.
Johnny Marrs, one time holder OF
the world wrestling championship
and very popular here, will match
grapples with Jack Hader, as rough
and tough as they come.
Both bouts promise to be exceed
ingly rough and despite William
Henry Ezzell's warning when he
was chosen as referee that they
will either have to "wrestle or get
out" there doesn't appear much
prospect for anything else except a
fast, rough battle all the way.
Steinborn in winning his match
here last week demonstrated that
besides having plenty of strength
he has a great deal of class in the
ring and the German strong man
will be favored to take the feature
bout Of the evening with Ease.
Mars, a veteran of many sea-
sons, is recognized as a fast and
clever grappler, while Hader us.
ually relies on the tricks he Co.
pull from his long experience.
The doors of the exhibit building
at the stadium will open at 7:3C
o'clock and the opening match will
start at 8 o'clock.
