he has exhibited since arriving in
the valley frankie Arragon of El
Centre crashed through to a deci-
sive victory over George Rivers of
Los Angeles at the American Le-
gion Auditorium in Calexico last
night. Throughout the 10 rounds of
battling Arragon was the master,
having the advantage in six of the
rounds while the others were about
even.
The battle completed an excellent
card. The two opening bouts end
ed in knockout victories for Monte
Hill and De La Fuente, while John
ME Lee outpointed Homer Gaines
in the other tussle.
frankie was using both hands to
advantage throughout the battle
with Rivers. The first round start

staged a bombardment, using both
hands freely and scoring often. The

Arragon crashed through and from
then on he had Rivers on the run.
Johnnie Lee had little too much
punch and skill for Homer Gaines
in the semi-final. Homer unloosed
several of his flurries but he was
unable to keep up with the speedy
Lee.
De La Fuente was dropped for a
count of nine in the first round OF
his scrap with X. O. Madison, but
he was back on his feet and in the
battle again. In the third he smash

Charles Grabowski, also of 6l Con- cord street. Attorney Thomas F. McDonough in police court this morning asked that they be found not guilty of the charge of contempt of court, on which they were arrest ed about 2 o'clock this morning.
 Judge W. c. Hungerford studied the statute for several minutes after which he said that while he believed it did not apply. he would reserve decision until next Thursday morn- ing. He ordered the men to post bonds of $1O0 each for their ap- pearance in court at that time. He would not hesitate to decide the cases at once, he said, had a re- mark which Sergeant Stadler attri- buted to William Grabowski been made in the presence of the court. According to the sergeant. William Grabowski told Sergeant Feeney he did not care what action the local court took as he would appeal to the supreme court and he prefaced this declaration with an unprintable

phrase. Attorney McDonoush as- sursd Judge Hunserford of his feel ing that the remark was "deplor- able" and he regretted that his client had made 1t.
 Sergeant stadler testined that at midnight, June l. he took Officers Kieffer and O'Day to the Grabowski homo and read subpoenas to Will liam and John. He told them. after reading the summons. to be in court to testify in the case of their broth- CT. Charles, aged 25. who was charged with breach of tho peace and discharging firearms without . proper permit and they assured him they would respect the summons. They did not present themselves yes- terday and the case of Charles Gra- bowski was nolled, on recommenda- tion of Prosecuting Attorney Woods.
 Attorney McDonough asked Ser geant Stadler whether or not witness fees were rendered with the sub- poenas and the sergeant replied negatively. Then the attorney cited the statute under which. he con- tended, the brothers had not been legally subpoenaed and were there- fore not required to attend court. Hence, their failure to do so could not be construed as contempt but Prosecuting Attorney Woods de- clared that eff these men are to treat the court with disregard. in- science and contempt. it is about time they were punished for it." To offer such a contention as that of Attorney McDonough is to attempt to upset the traditions of the state of Connecticut, he said. The sta- tute does not apply in criminal cases, he declared.
 Judge Hungerford said aside from the actions of the accused men. the question for him tp decide has to do with Attorney McDonough's conten- tion that the statute applies in crim- inal cases. After court, police de- partment officials said the practice
