PAPA PACHO MAKES ITQUICK
AND SNAPPY FOR RED STEVENS

! blows Two and a half minutes OF
the round had passed when Bobby
! got Red over the ropes, found al
! opening and sent over the famous
one-two flush to the chin That was
enough. Red slumped to the floor
| and was counted out amidst an al
most deep silence as the fans could
| hardly realize what had happened.
Bobby himself stood looking at
Reed seemingly unable to believe
that he had clouted the coast boy
lard enough to put him to sleep.
This victory puts Pacho way up in
the fistic world as Stevens was
touted as being a tough little scrap
per Looks like the old story again,
real good little boy meeting one
Just little bit better.
The second 10 round bout also
scheduled as a main event, between
George Tasker of Brooklyn and Sid
Torres, Filipino with quite a rec
ord. went seven rounds before TaS'
ker went down under terrific left
TO the stomach. The first fiv2
rounds of this scrap were pretty
even with Tasker getting to Torres
face and head with singing rights
and lefts. The little Filipino seemed
to have mapped his campaign out
beforehand and stuck to it like a
veteran general. He aimed at the
Brooklyn boys stomach and sent in
terrific left swings with an almost |
uncanny regualrity. At first 1t
seemed that Taskcr was blocking !
these pilc-drivcr blows. but they !
weakened him considerably and
ono of these flush in the
stomach at the opening of the sixth
stanza, he dropped for a count OF
nine. This was the beginning o.
the end. He WAS able to hang on
and give Torres a pcppering, but
another of those left swings paineo
him considera bly, and left him ripe ,
for the picking which came just be-
fore the end of the next round.

Becoming daddy this week wa:
mighty good business for Bobby
Pacho, but it was plenty hard OF
Red Stevens, who faced him in tn
10 round main event at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club last night, and
was counted out Just two minutes
and 81 seconds after the bout
started.
The whirlwind finish left the fans
hcwildcred. almost stunned. Paeho
entered the ring heavy favor'te III
the mind of everyone in the packed
Louise. still no one would have peeh
SO rash as to wager that the Yuma
boy would put his opponent away
in such short time But Bobby has
l.een doing the unexpected ever since
he started in the ri~s game and this
was but another one of those things.
He was heard to say sonnet hing
about his little boy, just before he
left tho ring which led fan to re-
mark: "Good thing for Red il
wasn't twins"
Three knoekouts featured The
evenings card which were highly
satisfactory to the cash customers
and others as we'll who were in Il
mood for blood and plenty of it.
Needless to say the wishes OF the
fans were satisfied.
The Pacho-Stevens bout did not
last long enough to furnish ma
terial for good writcup. The boys
started sparring about at the open
ing gong, feeling each other out,
and each sent over one or two sharp

M'I,ARNIN SLAMS
QUICK KNOCKOUT
OVER G0LDSTEIN
BY FRANK GnitY
limited Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Dee. IA. UH-Jim-
my McLamin of Vancouver, B. c.,
stood ont today as truly danger
Gus contender tor the welterweight
championship of the world, after his
decisive knockout victory over
Ruby Goidstcin of New York in
Madison Square Garden last night,
McLarnin flattened Goldstein af
ter 50 seconds of fighting in the
second round, having sent his op-
ponent to the floor twice previous
iy.
With Jackie Fields, present holder
of the l47 pound title, tossed out
of the ring for poor showing against
Gorilla Jones up in Boston last
night, McLarnin looms as real
threat for titular honors.
The little "baby faced" Irishman
had everything necessary to defeat
Goldstein, including two ready fists
which quickly pummeled the pride
of New York's east side into sub
mission. Goldstein was accorded
one of the greatest ovations ever
given a fighter in 4 New York
ring when he erawled through the
ropes, but the cheers turned to jeers
as Ruby wilted under the two fist
ca attack of his eager opponent.
MeLarnin quickly demonstrated
that he was Goldstein's master, fore
ing the fighting and winning the
first round by wide margin. To.
ward the end of the opening ses-
sion, Ruby went down for a count
OF four.
The second and decisive round 1id
not last long. MeLarnin came out
confidently, ana after maneuvcrirg
ColdStein into position, shot o:er a
ight which dropped Ruby through
the ropes. The chances arc that
ColGstei never would have conc
back into the riu.s had he not been
,hoved.
As it was MtLaruin swarmcd al
over him with holh hands flayiug
head and body, and q right - the
Jaw finally seat tie New Yorker
down for the long count.
The paid attendance was 1S,60s
with gross receipts of sl06,"92.&5

PUBLIC SHOWING
MUCH INTEREST
IN GRAPEFRUIT

Not only the many tourists VISIT
ing the city, but large number of
local residents have manifested IN
terest in the grapefruit exhibit, now
ON display at the chamber of com
nlerec headquarters. The exhibit
consists of choice Imperial Valley
grown grapefruit, furnished to the
chamber by the different packing
organizations of the valley and IS
packed in the various sizes of boxes,
from quarters to whole boxes, to
suit the needs of the purchaser.
Special comment has been made
on the manner in which this grape
fruit is packed, as it is set in bright
ly colored paper, ready for Christ
mas giving and would make on ae-
eeptable gift for any one, and cs-
pecially for those who arc unfa-
miliar with TIE sweet, desert grown
fruit
1t is interesting to note that
grapefruit paintings in Imperial
Valley continue to show substan-
tial increase as indicated by the
following figrres: 1927, 53+2 acres;
1928, S763 acres; 1929, 935S acres.
1t is understood that substantial
paintings will be made during the
coming spring and it is expected
that eventually grapefruit will be
one of Imperial Valleys leading
crops.
Oranges, a valley product not
often emphasized, have also SHOVE
an increase with 2S7 planted in
1929 as against l96 acres in 1928.
Another permanent crop which
shows an increase is pccans, which
have increased in paintings frem
l37 acres in 1928 TO POL acres in
1929. Five acres of lime trees are
also noted in a recent crop report,
whicl, may be the beginning OF an
other citrus product which will
eventually V use many acres.

Pcrformance-that's the quality in the Pontiac Big
Six which makes it stand out among all low-priced
skies. 1t is derived from such advancements
as the big 2OO-cubic-inch L-head engine-the ad-
yanced type carburetor with its accelerating pump
which gives extra snap-the gasoline pump which
dispaces the vacuum system and supplies the cor
rect of fuel for any specd-thc thcrmostatic
control of temperature which increases engine
efficiency and eliminates the need of radiator shut
tiers. These and many other features leading to
superior performance are constantly winning hosts
Of friends for Pontiac. And thousands of owners
Of earlier Pontiacs-ready for new cars-are now

has taught them that its superb performance, like
its many other excellent advantages is the kind that

Family Barely
Escapes From Their
Burning Home

Fire OF unknown origin complete
ly destroyed the w. NJ. Gust home in
south Libby about. $50 Monday night.
Mr.. Gust was awakened by the dense
smoke just as the flames broke
through the ceiling. Hurriedly dress
ing and arousing his wife he rushed
into an adjoining room where their
three small children were sleeping.
wrapped them in the bed clothing
and carried them to safety. He was
none too soon as by that time the
flames were burning SO fiercely it
was impossible for him to get back
within the building to save any of
the contents and he says he couldn't
have used more than three minutes
in getting the children out. All fur
niture and clothing were DESTROYED
except a few small items and the
washing machine which was standing
on the back porch.
When it was remarked to Mr.. Gust
that he had some bad luck he replied
Yes, it wasbad luck and yet again
it was good luck. | am glad | awoke
in time to get the children out A few
minutes later might have been too
late"
The house belonged to Rev. S. C.
Williams, formerly of Libby, and was
being bought by Mr.. Gust under con-
tract. 1t was insured but there was
no insurance on the contents.
The fire department responded
promptly but the fire had gained such
headway that nothing could be done.
1t is thought the fire might have
started from defective chimney.
This is but another instance en-
the need of properly
equipped fire hail." stated Fire Chief
A. M. Hoffman following the fire.
while the night was not very cold
yet the temperature was low enough
to freeze the hose quickly after the
water was shut off. The result is
that we have lot of wet and frozen
hose with no proper place to dry it,
and it will take some time for it to
get in condition to be used again.
Libby needs badly new city hall
with quarters for it's fire depart
ment."
