rounds.
Two s;x-round bouts. and two four.
round encounters. Billy Williams
Of Brownsville and Kid Guerra Of
San Benito, are scheduled to 70 one
Of the six round routes. This bout
IS expected TO be a thriller. Guerra
has shown that he will fight, anc
carries a punch that Is deadly, ones
i lands, and it has landed quite fire.
quently III past bouts at the post
Williams is a crafty little scrappcr
and the lls-pound boys are about
evenly matched.
Fans are expected 10 fill to over
flowing the skating rink tonight
for the bouts. Advance ticket
sales have been good. and with ex-
ceileHt weather, many fistic "hugs"
from up the Valley are expected to
he on hand. Promoter Becerril
has all arrangements complete. and
states the fights will he run off as
fast as possible, and with no in
PERMISSION Of any length between
bouts.
LOOKS LIKE A GOOD CARD
THE FIGHTERS REPORT THEM
SELVES IN Al CONDITION. AND
THEY HAVE DEMONSTRATED IN
THE PAST THEY WILL FIGHT
APPARENTLY THERE is NOTHING
TO KEEP THIS FROM BEING TEX'S
BEST CARD.
Give Jack Sharkey credit. No
sooner had he gained n decision
over n. q. Christncr in Madison
Square Garden Friday night than
he ups and signs a contract To
fight either Heency or Uzcudun
On February GIVE DAYS BE-
FORE HIS SCRAP WITH STRlB-
LING.
What does this mean. TO the
writer II suggests that Sharkey
smells defeat at the hands of Young
Stribling. and should this Gene true
the Boston Sailor would be a side
issue IN the fight game. In other
words he has a chance TO Cleanup
before he fights the Georgia boy, and
considering Madison Square Garden
moguls his enemies" he isn't looking
hither and thither as To the POSSIBLE
tiles OF his being rendered hors dc
combat By either l~Ieency or the
Spaniard; and If he never fights
Stribling he doesn't care.
