Surprise of Evening
Comes When San Be-
nito Battler K. O.'s
Littz in | Round

Despite conceding Red Turner
10 1-2 pounds, Homer kid" Good
mar toed in and fought aggressively
for six rounds and when the final
gong was rung was awarded a draw
by Referee Jack Sullivan, here Tues
day night or the main event Of a
boxing card staged at the Fort Brown
skating rink.
Turner, i64 1-2 pounds, Of Fort
Brown, had all the advantage in
height, reach and weight but seemed
disinclined to mix it up. He occa-
sionally set into Goodman who was
following him about the ring and
delivered several smacking blows
that CAV much premise.
The bout opened slow with few
blows being passed as the two fight
ers felt each other out. In the next
round Goodman began leading and
carrying the fight TO Turner but the
big fiery-top was little concerned
and quickened his pace nor the
temper at which he was chewing his
gum. Turner's weight and reach
stoode out like n sore thumb in the
occasional flurries.
The bout continued in this fashion
until the fifth round when Goodman
was still leading but Red was land
ing a number of we'll aimed punches.
Bearing out the predicted "grudge"
fight. Red vas s%corning Goodman
ard zk- - IT. TIL
last round was a duplicate of the
previous s~tanzas.
The biggest surprise Of the even
ing came when Kid Guerra, 1876
pounds, of San Benito, knocked out
Kid Ltitz. 1856, Of Fort Brown in the
first round. The soldier boy had
Guerra variously slated Il be knock
ed out from the first round on but
the game little Mexican, much TO the
establishment Of all, turned the Ia
bles.
Guerra swarmed out of his corner
and was all over Littz with a hail OF
blows before the soldier had squared
off. The San Benito boys opening
rush knocked both of the battlers
from their feet. On their feet
again, Guerra began a second storm
of blows. a number of stiff punch
es sunk under Littz's heart before
a solid piston stroke in the same
place sent him down for the count.
Joe Martinez, al pounds of Mon
terrey, took a four round decision
from Young Parker, LAP pounds Of
Fort Brown. In the opening round
Parker showed everything that a
boxer il supposed to have and APP
peared to be the most polished box
er who has entered a ring here this
year. lie had the Monterrey battler
al distinct disadvantage. Martinez
had felt the soldier out in the first
round and from then on cut the
Mexican lad led the fight.
He delivered much punishment in
the c~linchss, slowing Parker down
considerably. He vas way out in
front in the third round. rushing the
slowed down soldier. Parker tried
70 tie Martinez up in clinches but
the referee broke them often. The
fourth round was all Martinez.
Joe Marroquin, San Benito's 1l9
pound baker boy" took a four round
decision from Kid Pepper. 152 pounds
Of Machine Gun troop.
Marroquin had taken = decision
from the gunner previously in y
slam bang smuggling affair. Pepper
had apparently learned his lesson IN
the previous bout for he took 10 his
bicycle IN the first round, waltzing
BACKYARD and getting set to throw
punches. He landed frequently as
the baker srarmed in but appar-
emily did not do much damage.
M%arroauin had Pepper bloody and
groSgy ~ the end of the match. The
large gathering OF soldiers hooted
loudly at Referee SsenE' decision.
Zavals, 121 pounds of Fl. Brown,
was awarded a more or less unpop-
ulsr decision over Kid Lupe. lis
pounds Of San Benito in q four
round opener
The wirey little lads went TO II
fast and furious in the opening min
utes snd Zavals soon sunk 10 the
mat from a low blow. He did net
want the bout on . foul, however,
and rested several minutes and con-
tinued the fight. Zavala soon was
letting the bout come TO him. landing
several blows rs Lupe came in TO
press the fight. Lups came out to
win IN the third round and rushed
the soldier over the ring but his
rushes were not very effective. He
had Zavals backing up but was
taking blows as he came in.
Referee Sullivan said in view Of
Zsvala's game comeback. and the fact
that Lupe had placed his gloves on
the mat at several times during the
bout. he awarded the bout 70 the
soldier.
