sons fight card.
!. Ruiz and Shaw had fought a tor
rid six rounds previously which re-
suited in Shaw winning on a foul.
Ruiz had pushed the bout before
and fans began razzing him for
standing off Tuesday night. The
attack of appendicitis apparently
struck Ruiz in the second round
when ne began holding his side and
dancing away from Shaw. 1t APP
parently hurt Ruiz al much to hit
Shaw as 1t did for Shaw to hit him.
Not understanding the contortions
Of Ruiz face at blows that were
not struck, the crowd began booing
and razzing. thinking he was trying
to claim a foul.
Ruiz continued to stand off from
Shaw. making a pretty good job Of
it, not allowing the Mercedes boy
to land effectively. Ruiz took ad-
vantage of all the rests he could
and took counts on the mat 10
times before he was tolled out In
the eighth round.
Doctors worked ver Ruiz for
some time in the ring In an effort
TO revive him. His temperature was
l02.
Patsy Peck Wins
Patsy Peck. 160-pound pride OF
Mission. scored a technical knock
out over Battling Swede. 159 pounds
Of San Antonio, when the latter
failed TO come out for the sixth
round. There was little exciting
about the fight. It was marred by
numerous clinches on the part of
the Swede who covered W through
out the encounter. Peck was un-
able to land effectively on the
Swede.
What fans we're inclined to kick
on the Shaw-Ruiz battle more than
saw their moneys worth in the Kid
Guerra-Kid Monterrey bout which
was won by Guerra In the seventh
round on a foul. Monterrey held
the edge up to this time but had
been absorbing many Of Guerra's
overland punches. nevertheless.
They set into each other at the
opening gong with a will and a
way that had the fans on their feet
shouting idiot;c. incoherent encour-
agements to their favorites. Mon
terrey's powerful left sunk time and
again into Guerra's midsection with
resounding smacks. The stocky lit
tie boy was evidently out to make
good his threat OF completely
%trouncing Guerra. Guerra's over
hand right va finding its mark re-
peatedly. also. but Monterrey was
getting a bit the better Of the rough
infighting.
This continued until the third
round. when Guerra complained
that Monterrey's left was falling q
bit low. The referee warned the
Mercedes lad. The fans. as usual,
greeted this with ~catcalls.
Singing Affair
The fourth round was a smuggling
affair with Guerra keeping covered
up from Monterrey's murderous as
saults. They clinched often.
Before the fifth round. fans pre-
dicted it would be the BOOSTERS
last, but he surprised all by STEP
ping out aggressively and making
a good showing. In the next frame
he continued his good work. with
his right finding the side OF Mon
terrey's head repeatedly. The fans
cheered the San Benito battler on.
Near the middle Of the seventh
round. Guerra slumped to the mat
claiming a foul. The crowd jeered.
After inspecting the fighter. how
ever. Referee Jack Revis allowed the
foul.
Monterrey weighed in at f2s
pounds: Guerra at 134 pounds.
Draw i'm Four Rounds
Kid Lupe. l26 pounds Of San Be-
nito. and Kid Luna. 126 pounds of
Donna, drew in a f~our-round bout
full OF action. The bout consisted
mostly OF getting set in the middle
OF the ring and seeing who could
land their punch first. Lupe fur
nished a good laugh when In the
second round he rushed his oppon-
ent. Luna stuck his head between's
Lupe's legs and arose. throwing the
san Benito youth over his head for
a complete flop.
Two young boys, Young Battling
Shaw" and kid Chicken" fought
a draw v e the four-round route.
These little boys. weights around IS
pounds. were strong hackers of Shaw
and Ruiz. They were no slouches at
throwing the leather and evidently
had the benefit of expert coaching.
Promoter AL Robinson. in accord
ance with his previous announce
ment. let the fans pick the Judges
IN the main event in order that
there be no grabbing on the de-
cision.

near capacity.
