appear here in a long time and the
one-time strong man exhibitionist
will rule the ~favorite in this match.
To open the action-filled card will
be a tussle between Johnny Mars,
former world champion, and Jack
Hader, the Missouri walloper who
d~isregards all rules and referees
when he enters the ring.
