Back in 1914, when I had MY

But, it was no 60. None of thu

Mars To Battle Jack Hader
In Opening Match At
Stadium Next Week

Two Of the toughest grapplers in
the business, Dick Lever and Chief
Little Beaver, will meet in the
headline bout on the mat program
to be offered at Legion stadium
Tuesday night.
Mike Miller. promoter, in an
nouncing his card last night, said
that he feels that the main match
will provide plenty Of excitement.
Johnny Mars, former world
champion, will tangle with Jack
Hader, a newcomer, in the semi
finals bout.
Both Lever and Little Beaver
have appeared here before and
each has received about as much
comment as the other. So the bout
shapes up as being one OF the
rough-touch affairs that will see
anything happening.
Lever in his last appearance here
lost a boxing match to Ray Wilmer
via the knockout route. But Lever
had previously proved his suprem'
acy over Wilmer II wrestling. The
Little Beaver is as rough as they
come. being able to take it as well
as dish it out.
The opener should be a fairly eX-
citing piece Of work, because Mars
is on the program. Mars, a vet
eran of the ring for many years
knows about all the answers and
has proved to be fairly popular
with mat fans here. Miller said
that Hader has been wrestling IN
fine west for many years and feels
that he can give Mars a good
scrape.
Dave Coen, who proved 10 De
popular with fans as a referee al
the last match, will referee the
bouts next Tuesday night.
