DOUBLE M AIN
EVENT PLANNED
AT CALEXIC0

CALEXICO, March 15.-(SpeciaD
Tony Naldcrama, clever Filipino
Who left the navy year ago with
a whole trunk full of championship
lcits and decorations, and who has
always been one of the most pop
ular boys to appear in valley ring,
will return to Calexico Friday night
tf this week for main fight against
Raymond Montoya.
Valdcrama arrived in Calexico un-
cxpectedly last Friday and without
any training was sent in to suhsti-
tutc for Johnny Lee against Mon
toya in the semi-final. The referee
gave the decision to the Brawlcy
hoy-all of which was very irrit-
ating to Tony. He wanted Il chance
to prove to the fans that he is q
better boy than Montoya. Capt.
Stevens decided to give him It 10
round opportunity this week.
The main event this week will be
n ouble-headcr, with another pop
ular boy moving up to the 10 round
class. This lad is Homer Gaines the
colored flash from Imperial. Homer
sets "a terrific pace for six rounds,
as all the valley fans know, and he
believes he can go just as strong
for ten. His opponent is Toby Mon
toya--no relation to ymond-but
a boy who is reputed to be just Us
tough as his Brawley namesake.
The feature of the preliminary
card is the bout between De la
Fuente Of Mexicali and Valorno
Martin. Martin is not SO well known
as the Mexicali lad, but is considered
Il natural match for him. The open
or will be between X. O. Curley and
Young Majhoney.
Ed. Covington, Calexico's popular
football and wrestling coach, has re-
ceived a referee 8 license and is
expected to officiate at the bouts
this week.
