FROM JUAREz
Macey-Guerra Draw In Fast
Prelim; Big Crowd On
Hand For Card

AIStuAlllilS w Vic 4lllS here dlUeT
an absence of nearly two years,
Kid Pancho, 1874 pounds Of San
Antonio, ably demonstrated in the
main event Of Promoter Tex Becer-
rils card staged at the Fort Brown
skating rink Monday evening that
he has lost little if any of the cum
ming that characterized his bout
here with Johnny Hughes. This
was done at the expense of Kid
Juarez. l31 pounds of toughness
and gameness from Monterrey.
1t became clear from the open
ing gong that Juarez was no match
for the large-jawed boy from San
Antonio, and the crowd Immediately
set up a yell for Pancho to deliver
a KO.
But that's not Pancho's style of
fighting and the mill went the full
ten round route with Juarez giving
| the crowd several large sized thrills
| by wading into Pancho and slug
| ging it out in the last four rounds.
Juarez Opens Up
The fight opened comparatively
tame with the wielders of the lat
ter studded dukes feeling each
other out. Juarez apparently had
great respect for Pancho in the
first encounters. The white gloves
the battlers wore became a smear
Of blood in the third round when
Juarez' nose was injured. Pancho
was piling up points and in the
fourth round put in several short
| punches that appeared to do DAM
age.
The crowd went wild in the sixth
! when Juarez. who up to this time
had not been very aggressive, cut
| loose with a mad furry Of fists
that had Pancho backing up. Juarez
waded in and landed numerous
sweeping punches. He achieved at
least a draw in this round. All be-
| fore this, with a possible exception
of a draw in the first, had gone to
| Pancho.
The seventh round was lively
with Pancho leading despite Juare2
| aggressivene5S. The Monterrey
knight Of the dukes opened another
assault in the eighth round. Pancho
was not damaged very much but
| oftentime5 took several blows un-
protected. The assault continued
in the ninth when Juarez appeared
in bad condition but forcing the
fight to Pancho. The San An
| tonioan seemed content to push
Juarez off without returning his
blows. Both were aggressive in the
last round but neither accomplish
ed much.
Perhaps the best figh Of the eve
ming was pulled off in the eight
round draw between Ken Macy,
1873 pounds of Harrington, and Kid
Guerra, 1856 pounds of San Benito.
They opened lively with Guerra
getting the better through a fast
succession Of rights and lefts. He
stood off and used his reach to an
advantage. The bout slowed down
in the second with Guerra slowly
retreating before Macey's advances.
Ken's blows were wild, often being
dashed out into thin air as Guerra
stepped back.
Guerra opened UP with ar as
sault in the third that had Macy
hanging on. This was the fastest
round and went to Guerra by a
wide margin The rooster" would
I push Macy hack to keep him from
hanging on and then sink his fists
up to his wrists on Ken's body.
The battle slowed down from
then on with Guerra slowly walk
ing in and timing his blows. They
finished fast in the seventh and
eighth rounds. Macy came out
smuggling in the last round. Both
were aggressive during the last
frame.
Referee Goodman's draw decision
was not popular and a portion of
the fans set up an indignant clamor
for Guerra'S arm to be raised in
victory.
Polo Wins
Eddie Polo, IA pounds of San
Antonio, took an eight-round bout
from Berto Avalos. 1873 i-2 pounds
of Brownsville. Polo, evidently a
SCARED veteran of many fights
amused the crowd with his antics
IN defeating the young, lneXper-
fenced lad. Avalos at times flew
into the wild, swinging the San An
tonian and made him appear to a
bad advantage.
In the opening bout, Kid Lupe,
125 pounds of Brownsville. took a
close decision from Kid Huerta.
125 pounds Of Brownsville. They
-. --l .-- I-,l ..-4t>x
was able to do considerable dam
age. Lupe was the aggresSor prac-
tically throughout the bout.
N. r. DOC" Cook and Homer

crowd, one of the largest turning
out here in some time. was enter
tanned before and between the
bouts by the 18th cavalry band,
