their seats urging the fighters with
cheers and verbal encouragement,
Ramon Montoya and Delos Kid
Williams fought what many of the
cash customers thought was draw
last night at the open air arena
here.
The Mexican kid from Brawley
had his duke raised and rightfully
so. He took five rounds while Will
liams took three and two were
even. Neither scored a knockdown
but several times one or the other
was on the way to the canvas only
to rally and carry the battle to his
opponent.
Williams started the main event
with an overland right that caught
Mentoya flush on the chin. He fol-
lowed with a left to the body and
took a one two to the head and
ribs in return. They battled in the
middle of the ring with Williams
experience telling. The Kid took
the round by shade.
In the second Montoya opened up
and caught Williams several left
hooks to the body, the beginning
of body attack that eventually
won him the decision. Ramon even
ed the fight by taking this stanza.
The third was even with both
fighters slashing away to chin and
body. 1t was in this setto that both
took rights and lefts to the chin
which slowed them up considerably.
The fourth went to the former
Brawley youth as the result of
backing Williams in neutral cor
ner and catching him with a right
hand punch which landed high on
the cheek but which caused the

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR GUEST HOUSE
NEAR FORT YUMA

Plans for the new guest house, to
be located near Yuma, at the en-
trance of the southern route into
California, have been drawn up, ac-
cording to letter Just received by
Jasper l.. Travers, president of the
Associated Chambers of Commerce
of Imperial county, from Lyman NJ.
King, chief OF the division of SER
vice and supply, department of fin
ance at Sacramento.
King states that a number of con
ferences have been held with the
state activities directly interested,
with Myron d. Witter, of Brawley,
the Automobile Club of Southern
California and the Associated
Chambers of this county, all of
whom have made suggestions in re-
gard to the proposed building and
preliminary sketches have been sup
erseded by a more detailed sketch,
unfer the direction Of Mr. Poage.
of the division of architecture. This
sketch will be submitted to those in
terested in Imperial valley within a
few days time.
According to King the building
will be adequate for a combination
inspection station, for joint use of
the agricultural department and
highway division. Inspection plat
forms will be provided so that two
rows of vehicles may use it, with
shade for at leas; 20 to "a vehicles.
Ice water will be provided at all
times, rest rooms and a waiting
room where maps and information
will be available.
King says further, cit seems
probable we will have to 90 to the
land of the Indian reservation, a
short distance west of the border
between Arizona and California, in
order to find sufficient ROOM

over Harold Matthew's of Nebraska
after six sensational rounds Of their

Dado threw more punches from

slugging fight, although both fight
crs showed speed and cleverness.
Matthews seemed to have stage

The Kid came right back in the
next frame. He administered the
same kind of punishment to Mon
tova. Williams changed his tactics
and went out to take the round by
wide margin by virtue of vic
ious slugging attack.
The sixth saw the tide of battle
swing back to the Mexican who
matched the slugging tactics OF
Williams with one of his own. They
backed each other into corners and
fought along the ropes until the
spectators went wild.
The seventh was even, both boys
eoasting along although plenty OF
fighting was accomplished.
Monteya seemed the stronger at
this point and it was his fast two
fisted attack i'll the final tive
frames that earned him the yer.

with the Mexican punch for punch
but Montoya landed the cleaner
blows and made the Kid miss re

Sharkey Gets Dumped
The final two rounds were almost
as exciting as the first and only
found of the semi-windup. Mickey
Shea bounced his famous right four
or five times on the chin of Young
Jack Sharkey and they carried the
latter out of the ring.
The battle was short but sweet
Sharkey came rushing out but was
met by a roUndhouse swing that
tossed him against the ropes. They
SPARED for a moment and Shea
landed short right hook which
dumped the light heavyweight from
Bean Town to the canvas.
Sharkey was up at seven but
went down for a six count i'm
mediately after. He slid along the
ropes and then attempted to carry
the fight to the "Arizona Wild
cat.' Mickey slung that right
again and Sharkey took another
trip to the floor. This time he
bounced up into the fourth right
hand that layed him low for the

NEW BATH HOUSE,
 TENAKEE SPRINGS

]. A. Ramsay, Chef of the Field Division of the General Land Of flee, recently opened bids for the construction of a new bath house at Tenakee Hot Springe. The old structure at the Springs was so badly routed that it's replacement became necessary. Financial back ing of this enterprise was obtained by using a small balance left in the Townsite funds besides the donations made directly by the citizens of Tenakee. MT Collins, of Tenakee, made the lowest bid and it is expected that he will be awarded the contract.
 The plans for this structure call for two IS by 20 feet rooms. one of which will be the bath house proper and the other one the dress ing room. The old cement foun- dation is still in very good condi- tion and will not have to be re-

 MT. Habenicht, at the time of his death, had been in the Vet erans Hospital for about ten days. The cause of death was the result of dropsy, from which he had been ailing for some time, although his condition was not thought to be serious at the time he and his wife left Juneau for the South.
 MT. and Mrs. Habenicht came to Juneau from their home in the Puget Sound country about two years ago and during their residence made hundreds of friends. MT. Habenicht was veteran of the World War and served several months overseas.
