FANS TO SUPPORT
GAINES In HIS
FIRST MAIN EVENT

" Homah, Homah, come on you
Homah boy This is the cry that
comes from flock of his colored
friends every time Homer Gaines
steps into the ring, and no boxer
ever had more faithful following
than the little negro from Imperial.
From the first night that he step
ped into the ring for a preliminary
bout. the colored folks have stayed
with him. it made no difference if
he was winning or losing. More of
ten it was the former.
Homer gets his first chance at a
main event Friday night of this
week, and there is no doubt that
the same old cry will be sent forth
from the top tier at the Arena. The
colored fans are backing Homer to
the limit.
Nor is his support limited to the
people of his own race. Whatever
else may be said of boxing, the ma
.iority of the fans draw no color
line, and if boxer is game and
ready to put up a good fight, he
gets the support of every fan who
possesses sense of fair play
The white fans have been as
strong for Homer as have his color
cd friends. Friday night he steps
in against Billy West, the tough boy
from Pittsburgh, who made such
good impression here two weeks
ago. 1t means Il great deal to
Homer to get over this fight, and
the fans who have watched his
progress in the last two years are
with him 100 per cent.
Anxious For Chance
Homer is clever, fast as chain
lightning, game and has fair wal
lop that could be improved some
without damaging him any. A ten
dency to slap and loop his punches
instead of hitting straight is his
worst fault, and can he overcome
by watching himself. He cannot af-
ford TO do any slapping with West.
Gaines has been anxious for
main event for several months past,
but has been made to wait. 1t was
a wise method too, for many a
young boxer Of his promise has been
spoiled by beng rushed ahead 100
quickly.
In support of the Gaines-West
bout, Frank Richmond has arrang-
ed corking fine card. Joe Ruiz
and Art Griffo, who delighted the
fans on their first visit this season,
are booked for a return match in the
semi-final. These boys are clever
and fast and there will be no idle
moments while they are in tae ring.
Monie Hill, another local idol,
holds down one-half of the special
spot, with Wilford Fuentcs of San
Diego as his opponent. Monte has
been winning regularly and ought
to be able to get by this one, though
Fucntcs comes highly toutcd.
