With 80 rounds of battling on
the program fistic fans of the val
ley should see plenty of action at
the arena Friday night. The card
containing a double main event, a
special six round bout and four
round opener has all the promise
of being one of the best mitt shows
dishcd out to fans this season.
And that is SAYING plenty for the
last two shows produced have been
we'll worth watching. In both these
shows the main events were trlfle
disappointing but the remainder of
the programs more than made up
for any defaults in the finale.
But Friday night $ show promises
to 60 all the way to the finish with
flying colors. Frank Richmond has
done some clever matchmaking II
figures mean anything in the ring
The final event will bring together
Raymond Montoya of San Diego
and frankie Aragon of FL Centre.
Both these boys are rated well
up in their class and are of the
mixer type which valley fans like
to see in action. Montoya came
out Oh the short end of 4 bout In
/ Calcxico last week when he met
Valderama but gave fans plenty of
action in substituting for Aragon,
who was ont Of the running with
an injury az mat time.
In the otner main event Tommy
Shull of FL Centre will tackle Sam
my Wallace of San Diego. These
bows should provide plenty of fire
works. Wallace is of the sluggcr
type and is out to put a quick fin
| ish to the battle but Shull has
| been stepping along at a fast rate
himself of late and promises to
have a few things to say when the
gong sounds.
A special siy-roundcr viii bring
together Battling Johnson of the
Tamarack ranch and MILFORD Flu
, cntc Of FL Ccntro. The fur should
fly thick in this struggle for Flu
| cntc is out to get the ranchcr
/ while fans can always be satisfied
that whom johnson hops through
the ropes there is going to be ac-
ton.
Even the curtain raiser promises
! its thrills. Luis Fldrcso, who meets
Harold Clark of Tucson, in this
| bout is sparring partner of Val,
i dcrama and is said to be "A wicked
! bow with the mitts.
\ special stage service will be
offered for those not having cars
in which to get to the arena Friday
, night. The bus will leave the Pick
wick station at 1925 o'clock.

They fought seven rounds and the

Sharkey's time was up and he ask

He said he needed money badly

Three months after his discharge
