PLENTY OF SWAT
OFFERED FANS AT
TONICHT'S SHOW
Kid Williams Due To Let
Fans See What Years
Have Done For Him.

Several years ago, before the local
boxing arena opened, FL Centre
fans used to journey to Brawley and
Mexicai to watch Frank Williams,
Ell Centre heavyweight, swap punch
es with the topnotehers in this sec
tion in his class.
Half the fans used to go hoping
TO see Frank, or Kid Williams as
ne was called in the ring, laying flat
on his back listening to the "ten
and out - refrain. The other halt
would be waiting to see the Kid
knock his opponent across the coun-
ty line into San Diego. Most of
the time the Kid pleased his
friends and fooled his enemies.
The fans who used to hope for
the worst had nothing against the
Kid personally, but they didn't like
his style, the Kid being stronger on
punch than on boxing ability.
Tonight the Kid comes back after
an absence of several years, during
which he has had varying success
along the coast, with some good vic
tories under his belt and a few
black marks against him.
He meets Tony Stabineau who
says his real name is Tony KNOCK
QUITO and that he intends to live up
to his name tonight, the knockout
being on the Kid and not on Tony.
The boys are due to go 10 rounds,
hut only an optimistic fan would bet
on limit fight, for when two fell
lers weighing 200 pounds each get
swinging their sledge-hammers,
something has got to bust and it
usually is fighter.
There is only one end to predict,
a knockout, and the fans can choose
their own favorite.
Just before Williams and Stabi-
neau get called into the ring, some
body will be going out a winner
from the Mickey Shea-Vic Mcneil
ruckus, which holds down the semi
final spot. Mickey has punch that
resembles one of these man-made
lightning bolts We read so much
about, crossed up with one of the
new army tanks. He showed what
lse has last week by knocking Young
Jack Sharkey halfway back to Bos-
ton in less than round. Mcneil
saws he is no Sharkey, but a darn
good fighting man, and is willing to
prove the statement to Brother Shea.
We seen Shea and not Mcneil,
SO we pick the former.
Armstrong Is Game
Andy Armstrong, the tough will
ing boy from Holtville, ought to
win the special event in which he
tangles up with Joe Lopez, fight
ing wildcat from New Mexico, as
the posters say. The posters also
give out the information that Joe
has jaw made OF the same material
as Chinaman s favorite instru-
ment for running shirts.
Andy ought to win, because a fell
low who has been knocked ont as
many times as lie has been by Kid
Milo. yet is game enough TO keep on
trying and eventually win decision
over such IA hoodoo, has got some
thing on the ball The Holtville
colored boy has plenty of friends
who viii be roofing for him tonight.
Hulet Naples and Pete Casus
start off the show. Hulet is tow
head from Brawley, plenty tough
and willing TO mix things up. He
needs these assets to last against
Pete, who likes 'em just as willing
and tough as they can come.
From north to- south, or east to
west as the card is viewed, it looks
like it should be worth any man g
money. Four heavyweights in the
top half assure cool ringside, for
the big fellows usually miss enough
blows to keep breeze stirring.
This will give the fans chance to
cool off from the first two events.
Ii looks like a big night and a
fellow might win dime or two by
betting on an early closing.
