BOX ING CARD
AT CALEXICO
APPEARS GOOD

After long layoff, during which
valley boxing fans should have
worked up considerable appetite,
Cap Stevens is offering the first
show of the season tonight at the
Calexico arena and has arranged a
five bout card that looks to be
mighty good.
Heading the ruckus is a double
main event. The first section
brings together Harold Esterbrook
and John o 'Brien; the second half
presents frankie Aragon and Louie
Silver as performers.
The first section proves there is
little or nothing in names. Time
was when fighter with fancy
,.ame like Harold Esterbrook would
have been hootcd out of the ring,
if he was not assassinated. But
Harold is a tough hombre, even to
the point of soundly trouncing Louis
Alvarado, San Diego's fighting fire
man. AS for John O'Brien, he is
not a two-fisted son of Old Erin.
John is colorcd. Black as the ace
of spades, and fighter all the way
through.
frankie Aragon, after his disas-
trous session with Tony Escalante,
is trying to re-establish himself as
valley favorite. frankie says he
has learned his lesson and will put
forth his best wares tonight. He
/ will have to, for Silver is what
might be termed "a golden fighter.
Eoth bouts will be for six rounds
Or less.
Kid Mex and Leo Claro, who put
en- a whiz bang scrap a couple of
weeks ago will also step six rounds
with Johnny Lee and Homer Gaines
putting on the second half of this
double semi-final.
For the opener, Monte Hill of
this city will tackle Young Ma
jhoncy of Brawley in a four round
er.
Looks like a good card, mates.

threatened to push the thermometer
above the so degree mark again to-
day as the first trio went to the
tee.
The recently remodeled course,
featured by a famous winding bar
ranca and different traps, held out
even more dire threats on the put

tricky and bit bumpy, the green's
were expected to challenge the skill

The two previous winners, Bobby
Cruickshank, defending champion,
and "Lighthorsc Harry Cooper,

excellent chance to cut into the mon

Fasteners Strong
The eastern invaders, headed by

Tommy Armour, former Scotch

L0UCHRAN WILL
MEET TOUGH MAN
in LEO LOMSKL
Aberdeen Slugger Likely
To Score Win Over New
Light Heavy Champ.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Tommy
Loughran of Philadelphia, t h c
worlds light-heavyweight cham,
pion, has hitched his wagon to a
star.
Tonight in Madison Square Gar
den Loughran will defend his title
against Leo Lomski, the Aberdeen,
Wash, assassin, in scheduled Is
round bout and if he is successful
he wants bout with Gene Tunney.
~ am fit and ready to defend
my title against Lomski,' Loughran
said. Although | probably shall
be facing the toughest fight of my
career, / believe I'll win. Then |
shall go after a match with Gene
Tunney for the heavyweight title. "
Loughran promised he'd be a
"fighting champion" when he won
recognition as the 175-pound cham
pion in New York state by beating
Mike McTigue.
There was another light-heavy-
weight champion around Jimmy
Slattcry, the National Boxing Asso-
citation Is entry and Tommy couldn It
get Jimmy in ring soon enough to
suit him. Loughran gave a master
full exhibition of boxing skill to
shade Jimmy in - rounds.
Tonight Loughran is taking on
the toughest, toughest 175.poundcr
in the ring. If Loughran beats
Lomski, there II be only Jack De-
laney, the retired light-heavyweight
champion who just at present is be
ing snubbed by the hcavyweiehts
left to give him battle in his own
weight.
Lomsh Is Tough
But Delaney is not apt to consent
to- bout with Loughran until he
has definitely been eliminated from
the heavyweight ranks.
A Loughran- -Tunney bout for the
heavyweight title is not so far
fetched as it may seem.
Loughran has built himself mp
from the middlewcight ranks and
might be able to take on five or 10
pounds more before summer rolls
around, but even at 175 pounds he
might give Tunney more trouble
than Paolino, Heeney, Dempsey or
any of the other heavyweight con-
tenders.
With Tunney wanting to do so
much boxing next summer, he III
find Loughran n ready and willing
opponent. --- ----- ..
In the. meantime, Loughran must
dispose of Lomski.
The raw. western scrapper is
made to order for Loughran's style.
Lomski goes rushing and tearing
after his opponent Loughran is a
past master of counter fighting and
Leo may find more left gloves
stuck in his face tonight than he s
seen for some time past.
Lomski's chance is to wear Lough.
