CHAT

The passing of Clever Sencio after
his sensational bout with Bud Taylor
would seem to doom the Filipino race
as race of boxers. Frankie Church.
Ill was the originator of the idea Of
developing the little fellows into good
ring performers and as far as boxing
ability was concerned the experiment
was highly successful.
Young Dencio was the first boxer
to make his way out of the Phillip
ines. A clever boxer and game
enough to fight as long as his little
legs and arms would function he got
to be q big drawing card until he
suddenly met his death after a fierce
bout In Australia. It was just an
other ring fatality as far as the fans
were concerned. The second mem
Der of the Filipino quartet was PAN
cho Villa. After sensational cam
paign in this country he annexed the
fyweight title. got out of condition
and died shortly after the bout with
Jimmie McLarin.
Now comes Sencio. He was Just
getting to the place where he was in
demand as main bout performer
when he met his death. To make the
affair all the more unfortunate SEN
clio was the second victim of Taylor
and the second fatality is said to
have completely unnerved the Mich
igan boxer. Whether or not the Fill
pinos are physically set up to stand
the rough usage of the ring in the
colder climate of this country is a
matter of opinion but it appears that
Churchills experiments, while making
money for promoters who find the
little brown boys drawing cards, are
not so profitable to the natives. But
one of the original quartet remains,
Pete Sarmiento, the heaviest of the
lot and nothing but very small fea-
therweight at that. His career will
be watched with interest by the box
| ing fans of the country.
