Kayo Predicted
In Coming Fight

T'll bet it doesn't go the limit. -
That is the belief of the majority
Of fight fans of the city in discuss,
ing the pending fistc battle be-
tween Harry Lee and Ad Allegrini
which is listed for the arena Friday
night. But there are very few of
these same fans who are listing
themselves in the ranks of those
brave enough to back up this asser-
tion with a prediction as to which
Of the two boys will be on the re-
eeiving end of the punch that ends
the scramble.
Little need be said relative to the
respective ability Of these boys.
Lee is believed by most fans to be
little the better as boxer while
Allegrini packs punch that has
been the undOing of many boy
stepping along the fistic highway.
Lee is not light Taper either,
several of the blows which he deliv-
cred in the last encounter with AL
legrini being heavy enough to put
a less game battler on the shelf.
There were times during the last
encounter when it seemed that he
must stay down, once especially for
a blow just over the heart toppled
him to the canvas like a stricken
OK, falling face down. But he al
ways managed to get two feet on
the canvas in some way before the
final count.
And Ad was not alone in having
trouble in arising. On one occasion
Lee started to get up at the count
of one but only with the aid of the
ropes was he able to regain stand
ing position before the count Dur
ing that hectic battle each scored
three knockdowns and the referee
called il draw. The boys took
turns at knocking each other around
the ring.
With return battle between
these boys to head the program
Frank Richmond has booked three
fast bouts to lead up to 1.-The main
event. In the semi final, Raymond
McQuillan, who hoped into the
good graces of local fandom with
his victory over Julian Arriola in
last week S program, will meet Art
Romo of San Diego, good fast
coast boy. They will tussle for six
rounds.
A return scrap between Mike
Murillo of San Diego and Homer
Gaines of Imperial will again be
presented as special six rounder.
These boys gave faps n great exhi-
bition last week. The opener will
be four round tilt between Monte
Hill Of Ell Centre and Tony CORDOBA
Of Calexico.
The bouts this week will start at
s:45 o'clock.

THE LARGEST FIG TREE

In 1919, the Stale Department of
Agriculture made an effort to locate
the largest fig tree in California,
and the one accorded the honor at
that time was the black Mission fig
tree on the William Curtner place
near Mission San Jose, which had
a trunk circumference at the ground
Of about seventeen feet. 1t is, no
doubt, also the oldest fig tree, be-
ing now 1873 years old. The fig was
introduced in Mexico in 1860 by
Cortez, and the Mission fathers
brought the seeds from there to Cal
ifornia in 1869. Over $50 varities
have since been tested out in Calf
ornia, hut the main ones are the
Calimyrna, Adriatic and Mission
figs. The annual production ranges
i'll value from one to two million
dollars.

BRI ITISH POLO
SELECTIONS ARE
UNDER CRITICISM
By HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Selecti
of the British Polo team which will
meet the United States at Meadow.
brook September 5, in the first of
the International matches for the
International cup today, was caus-
ing stir in some quarters just as
the announcement of the American
lineup did recently.
The British team as announced
officially by Colonel Commandant
w. A. Tomkinson, follows:
/. Captain c. E. Port.
2. Major A. II. Williams.
3. Captain C. T. I. Roark.
Back-Major E. G. Atkinson.
The reserves are Captain Richard
George, Captain John p. Dening,
and Lieut.. Ii. P. Guinness.
Criticism of the makeup of the
British team comes as a result of
placing Captain Roark, the hard
hitting, hard riding Irishman, at
No. 3 instead of No. 2.
Captain Roark, recognized as the
best of the British players, had
been considered a certain choice
for No. 2, where most of the rid
ing and free hitting is done.
The omission of j. Watson Webb
and Malcolm Stevenson, veteran
Internationalists, from the United
States team caused dissatisfaction
in many quarters when the person
mel of the team was announced.
The United States lineup will be:
/. Winston Guest.
2 Tommy Hitchcock.
3. Cheever Cowdin.
Back.-DeverauX Milburn.

! LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-Joie
Sanger, Milwaukee featherweight, is
favored over Santiago Gorilla, San
Bias Indian from Panama, in their
bout of ten rounds or less at the
Olympic here tonight.
Sanger has not appeared in To-
cal ring in more than year, at
which time he lost four successive
starts. Since that time he has de-
feated Bud Taylor, recognized ban
tanweight champion, at catch
weights. An effectual left hand is
Sangor's most impressive weapon.
Gorilla is fast footed, carrying a
slashing two-fisted attack, and is
an ever shifting target.
Pedro Amador, Gorilla s stable
mate, meets Joe Guerrero, local
junior lightweight, in the semi
windup.
Tommy Milton, New York fly
weight, meets Charley Sullivan in
the special event.
Two four FOUNDERS complete the
cards.

morrow night at the Olympic.
The clash in which the title will
be at stake will be the best two
out of three falls with no time limit.
Steeher from his Long Beach
training camp has announced that
his body scissors attack is as cf
fcctual as ever, and that he will
employ it to offset the hook scis-
sors, Texas split holds and wrist
locks used by Jones. Jones has
worked out at the Los Angeles Ath
letic Club, endeavoring to keep in

ago when he disposed of John Pesek
Dick Daviscourt, Kansas heavy

force Mushy to forget the ring for

Radio For County Home.

Sometime ago the idea of buying radio
for the County Home was brought to the
attention Of the public. At that time no
effort was made to secure funds for 1t. The
summer months were on and campaign
10 raise money for the food sufferers, the
Social Service and other things claimed
our attention.
Now that those things are out OF the
way and the season coming on when the
radio will be greatly enjoyed. the matter
is again being aeitated and money col
lected to purchase the instrument.
Several checks have been received by
Rev. S. J. Goode. who suggested the idea
of doing this hind act for those that can
not do for themselves. and who is acting
as chairman of n committee to place
radio in the County Home.
ANY church, organization or individual
desiring to make contribution TO this
fund NAV send ii to Rev. S. j. Goode. al
Rockville. and acknowledgement Will DC
made in the paper of all contributions
when the purchase is made. Ii is suggested
that checks be sent not later than the 18th
Of October so It may be installed by the
lst Of November. The contributions need
not be large, but there should be number
of them so that many can have a part in
this worthy undertaking.
