WILLIAMS GOES
DOWN ITO SAVAGE
in l4TH ROUND
Big Crowd Initiates New
Boxing Arena at
Border

Kid Savage tlghtened his grip
Oh the light heavyweight champion
ship of Mexico yesterday afternoon
by sending Kid Williams down for
the count in the fourteenth round
at the Owl Arena in Mexicali.
William was groomed ITO go the
route with the champion and until
the tenth round it looked as though
he might get draw, but IN the
eleventh round, the El Centre fight
er hit the mat three times, twice
for the count of nine and the third
time the gong saved him.
7. From then. until the : knockout,
came, Williams was obviously tir'
ing fast, and time after time he
staggered as the big champion raln-
ed blows in the clinches. In the
last round, Williams took the count
of nine shortly after the opening
gong sounded. He managed to
reach his feet, but only for y min
ute when Savage sent him TO the
mat for the count of ten and sent
glimmering hopes of valley fans
that the crown would be transfer
red to the Ell Centro pugilist.
Williams stepped into the ring
amidst a great handclapping and
cheering from the fans who pack
ed the new arena until there waan t
standing room left. The big Ell Cen
tran looked to be i'll the best con
dition of his career, and when he
ring in the first exchange of blows,
he gave every indication of being
a dangerous contender for hohots.
The first round went to Williams.
Williams started the second round
with three .jabs at the champion $
chin, but went into Il clinch and
took several hard punches in the
kidneys, before the two broke
away.
Although Williams took some
severe punishment, especially i'll the
clinches, he gave a good exhibition
in the opepfighting, and until the
disastrous eleventh round popular
opinion. wis that the Ell Centre boy
had possible edge.
In the twelfth round Williams
spared for time and just before
the gong ended the round, Savage
sent him to the mat for the Aourth
time. In the thirteenth round, the
Ell Centran seemed to be holding his
own, although it could be seen he
was breathing hard and fans Close
to the ring predicted an early fail.
The preliminaries were fought IN
fast time, and provided some thrills
for the fans. Happy Jack of Coach
ella, matched to fight Bobby Shell
Ter, fought with Dixon of San Fran
cisco. colored boxer who was sub
stituted for Shelter at the las min
ute. The negro gave the fans one
of the biggest surprise of the at
ternoon when he delivered solar
plexus punch that laid Happy Jack
on the mat for the count in the
third round.

favorite weiterweights among the
fans, went the full eight rounds i'll
the semi final windup, b1h fight
ing nearly even all the way through.

The initiation of the new arena
