frankie is a slight favorite in
local ranks. He first won his way
into the hearts of valley fight fol
lowers by stopping Tony Escalante
when Tony was hitting at top
speed. frankie kept in the spotlight
considerably although he was de-
feated occasionally and later took a
count at the hands of Escalantc in
less time than it takes to think
about it,
But then frankie went away for
n year and it was Il very much i'm
proved boy that returned here q
few weeks ago. In his two appear
ances since that time he has fought
like champion. lie was unable to
Land Lilly West Il sleeper but he
certainly made a sick boy of him in
his first bout and last week knock
ed Joe Pimenthal into the realms of
slumber in six rounds of punch
swapping.
On the other hand there are
many that believe Jimmie Black
will show frankie something new in
the way of fisticuffs. Jimmie has
created just as cnviable reputa-
tion in two appearances here this
season as has Arragon. He sent
Jackie Spencer back to Reno with
broken jaw and battled his way
TO an easy victory over Raymond
Montoya, who is no dub when it
comes to throwing punches.
Both boys are fast and both hit
hard. In their appearances this year
both have appeared ready to mix
it up at all times. Just how they
will look when they get together
is question but all indications
point to action aplenty.
Indian Babe Orton, mate of
Jimmie Black, of San Bcrnardino
will meet Homer Gaines in the semi
final. This should prove great
scrap for Orton fights much along
the same style that the Imperial
colored boy employees and it is ex-
pccted that there will be more
gloves will fly in this battle than in
half dozen ordinary scraps.
Andrew Armstrong, the promising
lioltvlllc colorcd boy, will meet
Eddie De Courscy in the special four
round bout while the opener will
bring together Robert Pacho and
Young Mel Brooks.

BY United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-If it weren t
for the weather, one would imagine
that the climax, instead Of the
start, of the 1928 football season
was at hand.
a throng which probably will ex-
coed all previous gridiron gatherings
will watch the Navy swing into
action against Notre Dame tomor-
row afternoon at Soldiers Field.
Chicago picturesque lake front
boulevard is gay with the colors
of the contenders. A quest for
tickets which promises crowd of
nearly 10000 is on.
Unseasonably warm weather yes
terday produced the unusual spec
tacle of men in shirt sleeves seek
ing tickets to "the big game; -
agencies wer" besieged by prespir-
ing late arrivals. Cooler weather
was on tap for today, however, with
tho Navy squad due early in the
afternoon and planning to run
through brief signal drill in the
big stone stadium.
knutc Rockne, whose "Irish'
are 13 to 10 favoMtes over the
Middies, kept his squad at South

Chicago just in time to take the

CENTRAL UNION
MEETS JAYCEE
ON CRIDIR0N

Junior College and Central Union
High School football players were
preparing to do battle shortly after
o:30 O'Clock this afternoon. The
game was scheduled to get under
way at 2:45 o clock and shortly be-
fore that time the squads appeared
set for the clash The Central squad
was a very slight favorite to win.
Despite two defeats in practice
games thus for Coach Armstrong $
BOYS are showing better at each
practice session and it was believed
that this afternoons game would
bring out the real value of the boys
for the first time.
All of the Central squad save
Hamilton and ClayI5oole were new
TO the game this year but the two
games and continued practice
under Coach Armstrong have practl-
panv eliminated the nervous tcpsion
The boys have suffered in entering
into battle and they are expected to
show some real football in today S
tussle.
The line has been the main diff
Guilty thus far. Coach Armstrong has
switched Hamilton from the back
field to the line to build it up and
with Claypoole and Hamilton to
show the way, it is expected that
the first line of defense will prove
considerably stronger in today s
game.
But the Central squad will have
10 easy time for in the Junior Col
lcge squad they are meeting more
experienced outfit and IL heavier
team. The Central squad, however,
has the advantage of having en-
gagged in two battles this year and
with having two more weeks Of
training than the opposition.
The lineups as announced just be-
fore game time read as follows:
Ccntral-Rives, center; Adams and
Claypoole, guards; Hamilton and
Bratley, tackles; Fisher and
Schumm, ends; Sweeney, quarter;
Mattson and Rice, halfs and Evans
fullback.
Junior Collcge-Hartshorn, cen

The Phantoms completely out played the American Legion team in q Junior City league game at Wal nut Hill park Saturday afternoon and won by . score of 14 to s. The game was a free hitting affair and marked by loose fielding.
 The Legion team went into the lead in the opening frame when it scored two runs but tho winners changed the situation when they came to bat in the second when they counted five times. In the follow ing inning the losers tied the score but the winners took the lead in the following inning when they scored five more runs and never lost 1t again.
 There was some fine fielding on several occasions. especially by the cutiie!ders. Catches by Buchas and Cohen were worthy of special mo- tice.
 Two freak plays occurred during the contest. In the third inning Di Tranzo became excited after fielding Truhan's grounder and threw the ball to Umpire Paul instead of the first baseman. In the same inning Baldesari tried to get out of the path of . close pitch but it struck his bat and rolled down the third base line like bunt. He beat the thrnw fo first m the play and was credited with a hit. The score:
