Leather singers on Promoter Tex
Becerril's boxing card tonight hung
up their gloves Monday after a
strenuous session of training ex-
tending over several weeks.
Roberto H~inojosa, 1870 pound
Brownsville find" of Jack Sullivan,
was TIE last to put his gloves away.
He went through a workout under
the glaring light to accustom him.
self to that angle. He skipped the
rope, punched the bag, and did sew
cral rounds of boxing with a spar
ring partner in rounding off for his
bout with Jack Morrows, 1856 pounds,
Of Little Rock, Ark. Roberto dis
played a straight jabbing left and a
right that cut out with piston-like
force at intervals.
Especially was Sullivan urging
Hinojosa to keep that left jabbing.
for he will have to counter Morrows'
admittedly strong right punch with
that unit.
Morrows completed his training
Monday afternoon before a group of
soldiers at the skating rink. He is
a seasoned veteran of the squared
circles and if Hinojosa puts him
away, the latter will probably be
definitely fixed as a favorite with
local fans.
Homer kid Goodman was in a
cheerful mood Monday evening,
stating he was in good shape and
that he expected 10 beat Johnny
Martinez. ia pounds Of Monterrey.
However, these boys from northern
Mexico have given Homer a run for
his money during the past year and
a lively scrap is expected when these
two step up to each other under the
present rules Of modified murder.
Goodman is well known here, hav-
ing good spots on a number of cards
when Valley boxing was in its hey
day. Martinez has appeared in Mex
ieo City rings several times and has
a feather in his cap, a draw with
David Nelasco Of hat city. Goodman
will weigh at 147 pounds and ex
presses fond hope Of staying the
entire six rounds, or being up when
the knockout comes, at any rate.
Kid Saenz, $50 pounds Of MERGED
es, is scheduled for six rounds OF
glove quarreling with Kidd Littz,
1874 pounds of Fort Brown. Littz is
known as a stringy, but muscular
blond who packs a sleep producing
wallop in both mitts. Saenz put
away Hunt handily on the last card
and displayed much footwcrk and u
exploding right. He was not forced
to extend himself. but he more than
probably will have a busy evening
tonight.
The second Of two four round ex-
hibitions Of the manly art will find
Pat o'Malley, 12s pounds Of Fort
Worth facing Kid Guerra, 1872 pounds
Of San Benito. Guerra is the lad
who got mad and jumped straight up
and down several times while de-
feating Joe Zepeda on the last card
here. O'Malley has a new star in
his crown also-he stayed the limit
with May Stein. $50 pound woman
wrestler recently. He'd better not
rest to these laurels too heavily to-
night. however, for Guerra Is an
earnest lad who means strictly bust
ness.
The card will open with Joe Mar
roquin, $50 pounds of San Benito,
negotiating undiplomatically with
Kid Pepper Of Fort Brown, las
pounds, over the question Of who Is
the better with his dukes. Marroquin,
a baker, the Valleys counterpart OF
Johnny Rico, will have full oppor-
tunity to strut his wares. Rocaue
Padron's broken hand halted his
fight on the last card just as he was
warming up.
The intermissions will be pared 10
the absolute minimum, Promoter Be
cerril has announced.
