ONE FAN BRAVE
ENOUGH TO PICK
WINNERS TONIGHT
Fl Centre, Cal. Aug 8, 1928

FL Centre, Cal, Aug 8, 1923
Sports Editor,
l. V. Press.
Do you get "kick" out of
"guessng the outcome of the
fights? / do, and for that reason
l am going to hand you the
"dopc' as l see it. Also my reason
for same.
The opener will be a draw, but
Inowc will have little the best
of the scrap.
Why? Because lnlowc is a more
hcady fighter, and has had a great
deal more experience than Arm
strong and is just a little bit better
man than his opponent.
The special will be won by
o Brien.
Why O'Brien has the advan-
tagc of reach, stamina and speed,
and then look at his name. That
name alone gives him an edge.
The scmi-final will be won by
Ruiz by mile.
Why? Critic is about the only
one in Ruiz class who has his num-
bcr, Griffo $ style is Just the thing
that Ruiz docsn t like, whereas
Brooks likes to box and that makes
it Just too bad for Brooks.
The main event, | am sorry to
say, looks like it will be all Spen-
Ger.
Why? Homer has shown conclu.
siyclv that he is NOT an inficht-
or and Spencer has shown Just as
conclusivcly that he Is an infight-
cr and an exceptionally good one at
that.
There is no doubt bu. what this
fight will be a real classic, and amy
enc who misses II will miss about
the best II .Gg in the way of fight
that has happened in I'll Centre this
season or any other season.
Scvora. af the - fans tell me
they viii not attend another fight
when Mr.. Tackett is the referee,
and ] had decided about the same
way myself, but ! wouldn t miss tho
next card even if Tackctt was on1
Of the fighters himself
If this will help you in making
up "A little "'space' You are vel
como to use it, but please keep it
UNI! YOU get home from the fights
1cyt Friday night, rs | hope to bat
at least 750 in these gucsscs.
Yours very truly.

ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR ARGUMENTS
OFFERED FANS

Once more boxing night is here,
and presents another opportunity
for fans to watch the boys go and
then have something to argue about
over the weekend.
Your true boxing fan is never
bothered by bad decisions, or even
an occasional bad fight now and
then. He talks and argues a great
deal at the time, but he usually goes
right back again to see the gloves
fly, for just one reason-hc likes the
old game. 1t ism t that he likes or
dislikes one particular fighter, that
he knows the fellow who is running
the show or any other reason but the
desire to see the boys in the ring
do their stuff.
There should be plenty of stuff
going the rounds tonight at the
Arena. Some of the boys seem to
think Homer Gaines is being tossed
20 the lions in being matched with
MIR. Jack Bing BangD Spencer.
Homer had his first main event last
week, while Jack had his first one
years and years ago. And all the
battles Jack has had since have
only made him a better fighter.
Gaines showed his ability last
, week against Billy West, but if he
tries to mix it at close quarters
wit Spencer. they'll be carting
Homer out feet first. His best bet
is to stay away.
Joe Ruiz and "DcaconD Brooks
ought to provide lively sct-to in
the semifinal. Brooks has the fight
IN him if he wants to let it 90, and
he'd better want to tonight for
Ruiz is plenty tough.
Openers Look Good
Sir James O 'Brien and Art Mon.
ROY do their little bit toward the
good cause in the special event. Sir
James is rcputcd to he a whale of
fighter since his appearance here
two years ago, and Monrov is a
good drawing card in San Diego.
Somebody who ought to know some
thing about it says this ought to be
the best scrap on the card. Time
will tell.
Henry Inlowe and Andrew Arm.
strong open the fireworks. One
docsn t expect too much from the
! boys who start the show, but in this
. case they ought to be able to get
the fans warmed up. Not that any
one is going to need warming up
tonight, but you know what we
mean.
The attention of the fans is di-
rected to Mr., Kibby's pickings in
another column. We admit liking
to pick 'cm also, but we woudn t
dare print our predictions before
the fights. There is plenty of grief
in this line under normal conditions
without adding to it.
