Show oo YOKEL READY TO MEETKETONEN Salt Lake, April 9. Mike Yokel, middleweight wrestling champion of the universe, arrived in Salt Lake last night. Yokel is scheduled . to meet Waino Ketonen In a finish wrestling match on Tuesday, April 21. Yokel looks tip-top. He is done to a nice brown and his eye is as clear as crystal. Pie will begin active training- this morning, when he will take to the roads. This afternoon he will work in the gjmnasium at the fire station. His daily stunt will be road work in the morning and mat and apparatus ap-paratus work In the afternoon. Yokel does not underestimate the strength and skill of his opponent. He gives Kotonen credit for being a heady and cunning wrestler, a master of the known holds and the inventor of several now ones. Ketonen has almost al-most a patent right to a peculiar roll, which, while understood by Yokel and other wrestlers to a greater or lesser degree. Is very effective, and was worked by Ketonen with telling result re-sult in his match with Chris Jordan. However, Yokel says he is going in to win, if he can, and his friends have no doubt that he will put the Finlander down, as he has done so many other ambitious young men. The champion reports that his new baby boy is a "rogular feller," and that all are well at home. Yokel has been getting his spring farm work in shape. Among other things in an agricultural ag-ricultural way, the champ has acquired ac-quired three high-priced blooded animals ani-mals to be added to his steadily growing grow-ing lot of graded cattle. |
