SUBSTITUTES in
LIVELY. BATTLES
AT BORDER CITY

Through no fault of the manage
ment, CaleNico s star right card
was shot TO pieces last night, but
hastily gathered substitutes who
were rushed in to replace absent
principals, put on a card that
pleased a large crowd Of fans as
much as the original one would
have done.
Ernie GooZcman and Jerome o
Connor met with auto trouble on
the way over from San Diego, AMI
did not get into the arena until the
final bout was nearing its compile
ton. After the main event they
were introduced to the crowd and
an explanation made. Goozeman s
thoughtfulness in tclcphoning from
Pine Valley saved the management
from having bad mess on hand.
Roger Wagner of San Diego who
fought at Brawley Tuesday night,
substituted for Goozeman in the
final fight, facing Kid Mex of this
city. Mex spotted his opponent 10
pounds and took the decision from
him. He had the San Diego battler
looking bad in the middle of the
fight, working a terrific left to the
head and a right to the body. Way
oner looked better toward the end
ot the fight, and was strong in the
last two stanzas, but Mex was clear
" entitled to the decision. One
must hand it to the veteran scrap
per. He has never failed to give
the fans fight, and usually has to
meet a much heavier man thar he
is.
Gaines Must Work
Homer Gaines and Orosco substi-
tuted for the O'Connor- Escalante
scrap. Orosco, a novice at the GAM,
and who was also on Tuesday
night s card at Brawley, gave
Gaines plenty of trouble and got a
draw out of his efforts. He nearly
got Gaines in the sixth and final
round. Gaines either had q bad
night or he is slipping. A few
more scraps like last night and he
viii be back in the openers. He
