thumb measure in selecting leather
singers for his third set of prize
fights TO be staged at the Fort
Brown skating link Tuesday night
ut $3.50 p. m. sharp.
He dove into the pnEilistic waters
here on short notice Thursday and
came 10 with what he believes TO be
a toothsome dainty that will please

art are greeted by squeals and grunts
of approval.
Goodman Is perhaps the best known
az the pack. lie has come off victor
in most Of his numerous battles IN
the Lower Rio Grande Valley. He
has a large flock of friends collected
during his stay at Fort Brown and
Brownsville who turn out TO see his
every fight. Homer "a slated 10
square off with Red Turner Of Fort
Brown.
Turner has pcintedly accused
Goodman of avoiding bouts with
him. Red recently returned from Fort
Clark where he bowled over a num-
Der Of victims in impressive fashion.
Homer tut tuts nj Turner's allegation
and told Becerril 70 put the bout
through. Both are IN good condition
and barring a knockout (which isn't
st all improbsble) they will swap
leather-studded punches for ten
rounds. Goodman strips down al I53
pounds and acknowledges Browns

hat. Turner will probable enter the
ring at l56 pounds and will Gerry the
good wishes Of his fellow soldiers Of
Fort Brown.
