OFF FOR CARD

Turner in NJ ain
Event; Hinojosa Is
To Exhibit

~ @AAA4Llt
The stsccato tattoo Of fast and
accurate bag punching was 70 be
heard at the Fort Brown skating rink
Monday as fighters trained off for
their bouts Tuesday night. Some
we're skipping rope. others running,
shadow boxing. smuggling the SAND
bag and taking a whirl at each other
with heavily padded gloves in prepa-
Tation for fights.
As usual Roberto Hinojosa was
leading the flock Of fighters in
training. Despite the fact that he
has no full length bout lined up, Ro-
oerto Is going about his training for
. four-round exhibition and future
bouts.
He may be seer far out on country
lanes doing his daily seven miles Of
road work mt time Of early morning
that the American Express would
not get a horse up. Later he goes
through his gym routine, keeping
IN the pink Of condition at all times.
Hinojosa may drop some fights due
? to inexperience. but certainly none
from poor condition.
In the main event Homer Kid
Goodman, 153 pounds, of Browns
vile, will boxing TO don his Sunday
best in a boxing way if he puts away
Red Turner, 156 pounds, Of Fort
Brown.
Turner may not be SO well known
20 local fans, but he claims he is
we'll known enough to Goodman that
the latter has been avoiding bouts
with him. Turner was stationed ut
Fort Brown in years gone by and
perhaps there are a few fans left
who car remember the t~rouncing
Red gave Red Holloman about three
years < in the Valley.
Recently Red has been marching
off with a long line of decisions ut
Fort Clark and San Antonio. He
points with pride 10 recent victories
over X. o. Brown, Bobby Green and
last but not least, Cowboy Padget.
Goodman is perhaps the best
known fighter in the lower section
of the Valley. Boxers have come and
gone, but Goodman has stayed here.
He has yet to turn in a fight that
did nit meet with the approval OF a
large portion Of fans. One bout with
a Kid Foy Of west Texas turned out
to be no prize fight. but that was no
fault of Homer's. Foy handed local
connoisseurs Of the manly art their
biggest laugh. a. danced. pranced,
shook his fists. claspcd his hands
with head bowed as IL in prayer. and
skipped off about the ring with lit
tic regard for Homer. He was a
contortionist and did everything but
turn a few handsprings. The crowd
roared as Homer followed the skip
ming laugh-producer around the ring.
Homer caught up with him in the
third round and the fight ended
with one punch.
Very little chasing is expected in
Tuesdays battle.
In the second best spot on the
Benito. has drawn a tuogh spot in
card. Kid Guerra. 1876 pounds. ~ san
Kid Littz, 135 pounds, or Fort Brown.
Littz, like Goodman, j. one az the
lower Valley veterans. He IL an cx-
ception 70 the maxim Of Intimacy
breeds contempt" for he is still n
favorite despite his man; battles
here. uGerra is a clean-limbed
youth who has yet 10 lose a fight in
local rings. He proved that he packs
the old sleep producer in the last
card by putting Pat Orialley away
I'm three rounds. These two are
scheduled to 90 six rounds.
Another ~six-rounder will fini
Young Parker. 145 pounds. If Fort
Brown. tieing into JOHNNY MARTINEZ,
IA pounds, Of Monterrey. Parker
went down into his scrap book re-
Gently and brought out numerous
clippings of his fights on the Pacific
coast. Notable among his achieve
ments are victories over Dadc Rercot
Of Seattle and Johnny Reed OF Ia
roma. MARTINEZ took n draw with
Goodman on the last card desrita
conceding some seven pounds.
Joe Marroquin, $50 pounds, n San
Senito, and Kid Penner. Isl pounds.
Of Fort Brown. Will resume their
sock-filled bout begun on the last
card. Marroquin believes he will
knock Pepper out, but Pepper SAYS
he has been training hard rad that
he will take the decision in Tues
days fistic brawl. They will 20
four rounds.
The first four-round battle will ~
between two game little boys. Lupe.
lis pounds. OF San Benito. has con-
ped several bouts and IS fired with
pugilistic ambitions. He will tangle
with Kid Zavala, 100 pounds, OF oFrt
Brown.
Hinojosa will 20 four rounds in an
exhibition match with an unnamed
heavy.
The bouts are 70 start NJ $40 p. ~.

Twelfth cavalry band will be on
hand 90 dispense harmony between
tights.
