1t may be all over before night

of 1923.
The New York Yankees, chatting
under the delay imposed by rain
were eager to have it over. They
know they have won another world s

There were no indications over

BALANCE OF
FRIDAY CARD
FITS MAIN GO

Several lively numbers are booked
for the arena Friday night in con-
nection with the appearance at
that time of frankie Arragon and
Jimmie Black in what promises to
be the snappiest main event staged
here this season.
Arragon and Black have given
valley fans the best exhibitions of
the year, each appearing twice and
easily outclassing their opponents
in each instance.
Black sent Jackie Spencer back to
Reno with broken jaw in one en-
counter while Arragon scored a
knockout over Joe Pimenthal in his
bout here last Friday. Black handed
Raymond Montoya a thorough
trimming in 10 rounds while ARA.
gon scientifically tied Billy West
in a knot in 10 rounds.
Although Arragon's appearances
have been a bit more on the classical
line than Black s, the colored boy
from San Bernaraino has been just
as effective and bringing these two
boys together should provide fans
with plenty of entertainment.
In the semi-final Homer Gaines
will be given an opportunity to get
back into the game. In recent
main go Homer turned out to be
much of flop but Homer always
has given fans action if nothing
else. He will meet Indian Babe Or
ton of San Bcrnardino, a boy who
fights more along Homer S line. II
should prove fast match with
plenty of slugging.
Eddie De Coursey of Yuma will
meet Andrew Armstrong in the
special four rounder. Armstrong has
shown promise of becoming good
boxer as well as heavy hitter and
IN De Coursey he will meet boy
who boxes well. The bout should
prove good one.
Robert Pacho, better known as
"kid Mexico will meet Young Ne
Brooks of Imperial in the opening
bout.
