 Officers have been unable to delye deeply into the kidnapings.

course three quarters of a length a
head of the English eight, sports
men here agreed.
Pete Donlon, American stroke, al
so received a large share of the
credit for the victory. When Bles-
sing called for a spurt, Donlon re-
spondcd with marvellous precision.
The eight cared battle was the
last event ON program which in
cludcd seven final contests. The
United States, with a first, two sec
onds and one third place held a mar
row lead over Great Britain in
points and the eight cared race be

MANY EXPECTED
TO BE- PRESENT
AT LONG BEACH

President Leo Hetzcl of the cham
Der of commerce left early this
morning to 90 on his summer vaca-
tion, accompanied by Mrs. Hetzel.
They will spend their time at the
resorts and watering places of the
coast, returning in about two weeks.
President Hetzel will attend the
Pacific Southwest Exposition at
Long Beach tomorrow officially rep
resenting the chamber of commerce
on Imperial Valley day. 1t is cx-
pected that many thousands of val
ley folk will also he in attendance.
The chamber of commerce sent up
$4,000 Imperial Valley badges, to
be distributed at the Exposition ON
the great day. These may be oh
tanned at Imperial Valley s booth ON
the grounds, and it is hoped that all
FL Centre and Imperial Valley folks
will be appropriately bcdecked with
badges, as a means of advertising
their section of the country.
Fred Nebcl-Thau of cantaloupc
fame will also be there, to attend
to distribution of the badges. 1t
was at first planned to send val
ley special train over the Southern
Pacific direct to Long Beach for
Imperial Valley day, but after a
canvass it was discovered that most
persons preferred to drive their cars
up, that they might have the use of
them for trips after arrival in the
north. There were many depart
urcs this morning for Long Beach,
and many will drive up through the
night to be there for the special
day and the events which have been
planned for visitors to the Fair.

a good punch and a willingness to
mix it, something he has not shown
in a long time. He was so good that
he made one feel like taking an axe
to him the next time he puts up n
scrap like he has done in the past.
Brooks is good but it is hard for
him to stay good.
Ruiz had shade on the opening
round, the "Deacon not seeming
able to get going. He made up for
it in the second and stood up toe
to toe with Ruiz when the Arizona
boy elected to slug it out.
There was slip-up in the third
round, both boys slowing down the
pace, but Brooks was out in front
when the round finished. At that it
was only by a small margin, for
Ruiz administered almost as much
punishment as he received. Tho
fourth round was all Brooks, Ruiz
seeming to tire. He took Il flock
of punishment in the clinchcs, and
clincbcd frequently as Brooks fol
lowed him around the ring.
Brooks kept up his speed in the
fifth and sixth In the former he
got an uppcrcut working nicely in
the cIinches and it told on Ruiz.
The colored boy was fresh as
daisy when the bout ended, while
Ruiz was considerably tired.
Jimmy, Timmy or Tommy o 'Brien,
whatever his name is, took the
special event from Art MonroT.
Each of the three front names was
applied to O Bricn during the week
and he ought to stick by one of
them. At that his real name is not
O'Bricn. The bout was sandwiched
in between two which were much
better than if, and does not appear
so good as one looks back at it. The
boys were "A little bit too cautious
and Monroy too sure of himself.
Q Rrien 5 margin of victory WAS
not SO wide and if Monroy had
shown little more aGgrcssivencss,
he might have changed the result.
Art has fought better fights i'll the
valley. Here is one who would like
to see a return match.
Opener Is Fast
Somehow we managed to crack il
right in Thursday S paper when the
fans were advised not to miss the
opener. Henry Inlowc took the de-
cision from Andrew Armstrong, in
what turned out to be a slam bang
affair from start to finish The
boys, 50 rumor says, really had a
grudge, which was partially fought
outside the ring few days ago.
There was smattering of science
and plenty of willingness to mix
it from the opening bell until the
end Of the scrap. Inlowe had the
call in the first, third and fourth,
with Armstrong taking the second.
In the third Inlowc had the Holt
willie boy looking like he was bound
for Drcamland, but the former lack
ed sufficient pep to put over the
finishing wallop. Fans can ask
! themselves how they would like to
be fighting on a humid night like
last night, and if they are honest in
the answer they vii admit all the
boys did real well,
Without knowing anything def
mite about the weights, we just Won
dcrcd how Monte Hill and Inlowc
would stack up. Seems like that
ought to be a fight that would
prove interesting.
Fans who are interested might
iikc to know that Brother Kibby S
average is 80. He called the turn
on the opener the special and the
main event, but won himself a duck
egg on the scmi-fnal. That S not so
bad, particularly when Andy Brooks
fooled everyone, even himself and
