dropped the brown boy for the
count. From then it was Just a
question as to how long Nationalista
could stand up under the barragc.
In the fifth round a short left to
the body dropped Nationalista, who
shaking his head attempted to pcnc-
tratc the fog. He was back on one
knee before the 10 count. but the

vented needless punishment by

George Godfrey, weighing 22G

RIOS-CORDOZA
SCRAP SHOULD
Be THRILLER

With two top-notch battles to
wind up the program Friday night,
it is expected that the Imperial
Valley Athletic, Club arena will be
packed to the doors for the fistic
show. Weather conditions thus far
have kept the crowds down at the
arena but with Old Sol warming up
to his work and a good card prom
ised it is expected that an attend
ance mark will be set.
In the main event of the evening
the slapping boy from Culver City,
known as Joe CORDOBA will meet
Tommy Rios Of Los Angeles. Rios
has been doing plenty of scrapping
in and about Los Angeles lately.
In fact Tommy usually does most
of the scrapping when he hops
through the ropes but his work OF
late has shown great improvement
and he will give Cordoza plenty of
action.
CORDOBA on the other hand seems
TO revive when he breathcs Imper~
