An in~vigorating crinkly tang in
the air Tuesday morning gave prom
ise Of accelerated activity on Pro-
moter Tex Becerril's third boxing
card.
All boxers, from the main event
boys on down, pronounced them
selves in good condition and champ
ing on the bit for the opening gong
tonight. Nearly all felt sure OF vic
tory, but those that know they are
in for a lively session gave the gen
eral impression Of "if ! lose, there1l
be no regrets for I am going 10 do
my best"
Winners on previous cards have
been given the first call tonight.
They include Goodman, Littz, Guer-
RI, M%arroquin, Lupe, Martinez and
Hinojosa.
One of the outstanding features
Of the cards being put on here Is
the amateur spirit Of the fighters.
They arc all Valley boys and are due
for considerable raw-hiding, and loss
If prestige III they lose or do not
put up a good fight. They are not
like the uitra-sophisticated profess
sional who is here today and there
tomorrow and TO whom a defeat
means little more than a jump to
new territory. This is their home
and they want to win.
The main event has shown symp-
toms Of developing into a %'grudge
fight" Not the cooked up kind Oft
entimes used 10 bring out a fight
crowd. but one that has the fighters
huffed up themselves.
Red Turner has accused Homer
Goodman OF cvadinR bouts with him
Ia the past. Turner and Goodman
were formerly soldiers together al
Fort Brown and consequently they
know each other pretty well. Turner
was fighting in the Valley about
three years ago. About the time
Homer began TO feel the gnawing
panEs Of pugilistic ambitions. Both
worked up a fair reputation as WELD
err Of the thinly padded gloves but
they were never gotten together de-
spite the fact they were in the same
class-around i55 pounds.
Red WAS transferred ~ Fort Clark
and continued his fighting. knocking
over a number Of good boys. Later
he has compiled q fair record in San
Antonio rings. Now he has beer
transferred 70 Fort Brown again.
Homer In the meantime has made
larged strides forward in the art OF
modified murder.
Red. with the mcmory Of an Gle
plant, brings up tho old score
against Homer. Goodman says there
N nothing to II and there never has
been. and proves his contention IN
