ley Succumbs to Illness;
Autopsy to Be Made.

Influenza is blamed for the death
Of Babe Monroy, Brawley fight
er. who died early yests, day morn
ing In that city. An autopsy was
scheduled to be held Late this aft
ernoon, to determine if his activities
in the local fight arena Friday night
aggravated his illness.
Monroy met Tony Esealante of
Calexico in the six-round semi-final
event, the latter scoring technical
knockout in the fifth round, when
Monrov remained on the floor for
the full count, although it appeared
to spectators that he should have
been able to go on with the fight.
Caught By Blow on Body
In the fourth round Monrov
stopped terrific blow to the body
delivered by Escalante, this blow
weakening him so that when a
blow to the head sent him to the
floor. he remained there, squatting
on one knee while he was counted
out. It was said by spectators at the
ringside after the fight that Jack
Flynn, Monroy's manager, had mo-
toned to the fighter to remain on
the floor and take the count.
Following the fight Monroy went
to the dressing rooms and took his
time about donning street attire.
Later in the evening, when the main
event was over, he complained OF
not feeling well and some of the
other fighters at the arena inquired
for physician to give Monroy at
tention. All the doctors had left
the club however, and it is not
known whether the fighter succeed
ed in getting a doctor.

Monroy was examined by the
physician of the Imperial Valley
Athletic club at 3 o'clock Friday

and pulse were said to have been

money, kept this condition from the
