SPORTS TALK

lessons to almost anyone oper-
ating in the heavyweight divi-
sion. L%oughran is a willing
fighter and is not afraid to risk
his title. While he is not noted
for his killing punch, he has
flattened quite a few.
In Braddock he will be meeting
one of the greatest punchers de-
veloped recently in the light
heavyweight ranks. Braddock is
not a clever boxer but he does pack
a stunning blow. His activities have
not been confined to set-ups.
Among his recent knockout victims
are Pete Latzo, fluffy Griffiths
and Jimmy Slattery. Latzo was
one Of the top notchers at the
time Of his defeat. Braddock broke
his jaw and forced him from the
fight game.
We pick Loughran to win the
decision, however, in the belief
that he will be able to avoid
Braddock's wicked right. An
other point in Loughran's favor
is that he has demonstrated that
he can take ample punishment
and come back for more. In his
bout with Lomski last year he
was floored twice for the count
of nine in the first round, but
he got up and won the battle.

PLAN FIGHTS
FOR JULY q
Would Have Hinojosa Meet
Montgomery In Valley
VS.. Cowtown Card

Negotiations are now under way
for a bout between Sully Mont
gomery of Fort Worth and Roberto
Hinojosa of Brownsville to be staged
in the Reynosa bull ring July 81, &C
cording to F. H. Blake of Fort
Worth, promoter. This would be the
sequel to the scheduled fight be-
tween Pedro Lopez and Oscar
Koehler which was called off on the
Fourth Of July due to counter at
fractions.
No papers have been signed as yet,
Blake says, but he feels reasonably
certain that the bout will 60
through. Valley fans, he says, are
anxious to see Hinojosa against q
well known figure such as Mont
gomery. Roberto has been slapping
over unknown fighters in the first
round with regularity and Blake be-
lieves it is time to place him against
a known quantity.
Under tentative plans, the card
would be a Valley VS.. Fort Worth
affair. H%inojosa, Battling Shaw
Cowboy Brooks and Patsy Peck
would represent the Valley against
Fort Worth fighters. Sam Ward
has been selected as Shaw's oppo-
nent. Blake has not decided on boys
to met Brooks and Peck as yet.
The promoter plans to hold bouts
in Reynosa every two weeks begin
ming Sunday after next, he states.
He has been dickering with Mexican
authorities and believes he has al
arrangements we'll in hand.
The bouts will be held in the
afternoon, beginning at.4 p. m.

What started the pulsations is not even guessed. but the princi- pie that keeps the flaming gas in motion is that of a pendulum. Somewhere between it's smallest and it's greatest diameters is the limit where the surging fire some day may come to comparative rest.
 s. L. Boothroyd, professor in charge of the Fuertes observatory, says new test of the nature of pulsations now is possible by use of the radiometer, which measures the heat of stars, and he adds that heat experiments probably will be undertaken.
 This great star is less than 4,000 years is due to become the north pole star because of slow move ment of the earth's axis, which causes the phenomena known as procession of the equinoxes.

ESCAPE FROM BREAK -PR0OF
 JAIL IN ARK.


 ELDORADO, Ark, May 13.- Search has been started for four men, members of the Ace" Pendle- ton gang who locked the jailer and trusty guards in cells and staged a second break from the Union County new "break-proof" jail.
 The men are believed to be hid- ing in the bottom lands along the river.
 Three men were to be arraigned today on charges of bank robbery. The other prisoner was being held on a minor count.
 The quartet escaped by placing a domino between the door frame which prevented the door from being locked after they were given food.
