BATTLE TO BE
FOUGHT AGAIN

Frank Richmond has gathered to-
Gether what appears to be another
winning program for boxing fans at
the Arena Friday night. AS his
main attraction he has picked Har-
ry Lee of FL Centre and Ad Allie
grini Of Los Angeles to do the bat
tling. Interest throughout the city
has hoped to fever pitch with
the booking of this attraction for
the two boys staged one of the
greatest battles ever waged in the
valley when they met here two
weeks ago.
Raymond McQuillan, the colored
boy who battled his way to a win
over Julian Arriola in the semi
final of last weeks show will meet
Art Romo of San Diego in the semi
final Friday night. McQuillan, who
recently arrived from Denver, has
taken the coast by storm with his
new tactics of battling. While a
little slow with his footwork, he is
equipped with a good defensive and
is a very clever boy with the gloves.
Arriola showed well against him
at times, using his speed to advan-
tage but he was unable to get away
from all the gloves McQuillan toss
cd his way. Romo will present a
new face at the Arena but should
prove worthy foe if his reputation
gained by many coast battles means
n thing.
In the special six-rounder Rich
mond has booked another return
cnga cement bringing together Mike
Murillo of San Diego and Homer
Gaines of Imperial. There We're
many fans who were not quite sat
isfied. with the decision favoring
Gaines in the meeting last Friday
of these two bows. Murillo wasted
q little too much time in his battle
in attempting to trick Gaines but
he did get across some good punches
as a result and his fight in general
resulted in much cleaner and better
placed blows than those landed by
Gaines. The Imperial boy. however,
showed to advantage at all times.
In the four rounder Monte Hill of
FL Centre will fight Tony CORDOBA
of Calexico. This bout should pro.
duce plenty of action with much To-
cal interest attached. 1t will be a
four -rounder.
Richmond has booked the Friday
night show to start at SAD clock
instead of at $50 The special bus
service from the Pickwick station
TO the arena will also be available
10 fans.

America to Be Pressed

Copyright, 1927, by United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Interna-
tional "flavor is the vanilla in
the "rake' of sports. Polo, tennis,
and golf are fairly bristling with
the keenness of our challengcrs to
wrest from America, The prestige
which this nation has gained since
the war.
The strong British polo team is
at the heels of the ard-riding, long
hitting American internationalists.
The Frenchmcn are descending
upon our "Big Bill Tilden two to
one. Again France is sending a
strong representative in Simmone
Thion de la Chaumet to have a fling
at our women's golf championship.
America is still the favored ma
ton and has already been success,
full in defending against the British,
the professional open golf champi-
onship which is the possession of
Bobby Jones. The American tennis
team headed by Helen Wills drove
back the English invaders and re-
tanned the international trophy.
The polo, mems tennis and wom-
ems golf still hangs in the balance.
There is sufficient doubt as to the
outcome to stimulate unprecedented
public interest.
The interest of nations is simply
colossal. Think of this, 26 nations
will compete for the Davis cup, in
tcrnational tennis trophy, | imag-
inc not many people could name 26
nations in the world regardless of
whether they play tennis.

NAVY BATTLERS
TO SHOW WARES
in BORDER RING
ay United rres. Leased Wire

CALEXICO. Aug. 15.-Two more
navy champions from the same bat
tleship decks that produced Tony
Valderama, will show their wares
for the first time in an Imperial
valley arena next Wednesday night
at Calexieo when Grant Willardson,
welter champion and Bobby Near,
all-navy middleweight belt holder
are scheduled on a double main
event card.
Willardson recently appeared in
San Diego and proved to be the
sensation of the season. He is both
clever and fast and furnished coast
fans with one of the finest exhibi-
tions they have seen in months, ac-
cording to reports. Huff, the lad
who appeared against him slugged
his way to draw in spite of the
speed of his opponent. Capt. Stev-
ems believes this will make one of
the best fights ever presented in the
Calexico ring.
Bobby Near, who holds the battle
fleet middleweight championship,
trained in the same school with Will
lardson, and should furnish another
exciting bout in his match with
Tommy Monzo. Monzo's kayo over
Joe C,rGoza is his best recommen-
dation.
In the six round semifinal Kid
Mex will meet tough opponent In
Marty Donlin, Los Angeles boy.
Mex has never yet failed to do a
hard evenings work in the ring.
The opener will be four round
affair between Jack Stevens and
Vincent Salado.
Practically all OF the boys on this
weeks card are new to Imperial
valley. and Capt. Stevens expects
to pick the best of the lads for fu-
ture bouts with oldtime valley
favorites. The winner of the Viii
lardson-Huff bout probably will go
against X. o, Simpson at an early
date.

,, LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.-Joe
Stecher, worlds heavyweight wres-
Ting champion, tapered off training
at his Long Beach camp today for
his finish match Wednesday night
here with Paul Jones, youthful
Texan. Stecher's title will be at
stake in the two out Of three falls.
Following the offer of Dick Dav-
iscoprt to serve as training part
ner late last week, Stecher prompt
ly declined the bid, explaining that
he viewed Daviscourt as a likely
challenger and therefore ineligible
to learn the secrets of the mat
champion.
Jones, following a convincing vic
tory two weeks ago over John Pes
ck, Nebraska ".Tiger Man. will
probably be gallery favorite over
Stecher, but the bulk of the ''wisc
money! will be placed on Stecher
to retain his crown.

Both wound up training today,
and each camp said that at the l26

morrow their fighter would be in
top form.
Sanger has not appeared here in
more than year, but his record
since then. including victory over
Bnd TAYLOR, bantamweight cham
pion, at catchweights, will make
him slight favorite at ring time.
Gorilla augments his speed with
sharpshooting ability that has re-
turned him a winner in many coast

RESTRAIN PUNCHES
Inclination to Drop Boxing Les
sons Is Too Strong

White Sulphur Springs. Saratoga
Lake, N. Y, July IA Rl-Flashes of
old time tiger ferocity, reminiscent
of the days Of Toledo and Boyle's
Thirty Acres, indicate that Jack
Dempsey is we'll advanced on the
road that may lead to the most SEN
sational comeback in ring history.
With lone week remaining be-
fore Dempsey meets Jack Sharkey In
the Yankee stadium, an ever in
creasing inclination to drop boxing
lessons for the sheer Joy Of crushing
the former champions workouts.
The black scowl so characteristic of
the heyday Dempsey deepens daily
as Jack feels the growing tenseness
of perfect fighting trim.
But the drawn face OF the Demp-
sey OF 1925, when legal difficulties
beset him, has given way to the old
fighting visage and the rest OF Jacks
physical makeup seems to have fol-
lowed suit.
Despite the constant effort Of
Jacks handlers to hold him to the
grind that comprises learning a de-
Tense for sharkey's cutting left hand
Dempsey showed yesterday that he
was unable to keep in leash the ter
rife punch that he knows Is again
in his massive fighting machinery.
After faithfully following the de-
fensive advices of his manager and
ring tutor, Leo P. Flynn, Jack sud-
denly loosed the full force of his
lashing attack against the giant In
dian Chief Matoquah and the full
power of three looming lefts to the
body quickly smashed the Brave to
the canvas. 1t was the second time
in two workouts that Jack had
hattened the big oklahoman.
Thereafter he was the calm stu
dent in Prot. Flynn's elementary
school Of fsticuffs. Jacks former
ability to bore through clever de-
Tense with an unrelenting surge to
close quarters came to light again in
the two round drill against the
clever negro, Larry Gains in the
first extra round workout against
one man Of the preparation for the
Sharkey battle.
After being held at bay for a
round by Gains nipping left and
stiffness OF foot, Jack caught up
with the negro in the second session
and took all the cleverness from
Gains legs, the speed from his at
tack, and snap from his punches,
with single right hand uppercut to
the heart. After that punch Gains
was Just Dempsey's speed and the
negro took a healthy FASTING until
the bell.
