GAINES TO FIGHT
HIS FIRST MAIN
EVENT ON FRIDAY

After plodding along, working his
way up from Q preliminary boy two
years ago, Homer Gaines, the
clever colored boxer from Imperial,
gets the top spot on the card which
Frank Richmond has arranged for
Friday night at the local arena.
Plodding is not exactly the proper
word to use, for Homer has raced
along in the past few months,
knocking over one opponent after
another, until he has sold himself
solidly to Imperial Valley fans, who
predict he win bring as much fame
to the valley as did Dick Hoppe,
who started his career here.
Pitted against Homer is Billy
West, the clever boy who appeared
here two weeks ago. That means a
tough job for Homer. He goes up
against stiff opposition in his first
main event, and it means tough
season Of training all this week if he
is to be able t. put up sufficiently
strong battle against the Pittsburgh
flash.
Valley fans are counting on
Gaines, and feel certain he will
measure UP to the mark, and make
as good a showing as he has in every
battle he has been in, whether he
won or lost.
For second spot on the card
Richmond has rcmatched Joe Ruiz
and Art Griffo. These are the two
boys who put up such a rousing
battle few weeks ago in the same
spot. The fans liked that battle and
they are sure to like the repeat.
Monte Hill gets another chance
to show that he is anchored as a
feature fighter for while, when he
meets Wilford Fuentes, hard hit
ting, cleveE San Diego boy. Monie
is ready to do his stuff and figures
to be on the winning end of the
scrap,
Mel Perkins and Mel Brooks will
provide the opener. The latter is q
brother of Deacon - Andy Brooks,
and has already showed wcll in a
scrap here.

ed easily in the third set, keeping
the ball in play and allowing the
tiring Tilden to beat himself.
Tilden was fighting as hard as he
