According to The Sporting N<nvs, Pinelli says, "Jablonski hits a ball so hard that some times1 a runner on second base can't score on a single because the ball is in the outfielder's hands before the runner has a chance."

But the Mighty Atlas vows he'll crown the night by clobbering Roy McC^iny in the feature event of Fred Kohler's Lake county stadium mi show in Round Lake Park tlfi Friday. McClarity is, a new Canadian sensation, gaining national laurels fast in this .country. He weighs 235, stands six three and already has won over millions of lady fans.

Whether he can use the power hold effectively Friday is up to the conjecture of the mounting fandom the business is gaining hereabouts. Atlas came to wrestling from the circus field. He was a strong man, bending steel pipe with his teeth. At times he still demonstrates the incredible feat. Well, the musclemen keep crowding into Lake county stadium. to-raise cain. This Friday, along with McClarity and Atlas, such other stars as Mltsu Arakawa and Rudy Kay will be here for a tag tussle against Davey Jones and Uncle Milty Olson.
