-
Another card in the rebuilding of
the fight game here will be run off
at the Fort Brown skating rink to-
night with the best main event yet
slated drawing Valley-wide atten-
ton
Dick Wymore. dapper young La
Feria farmer who had rather raise
uppercutS than truck, is to punch IL
out with Battling Shaw, clever La
redo and San Antonio featherweight
in the ten-round attraction. Shaw
holds a close decision e Wym0re
and the La Feria flash is reported
as itching TO wipe out the stain Of
his defeat.
Dick has been training religious
~ az the San Benito Athletic club,
for Shaw Is the only thing between
him and the mythical title Valley
champion" Wymore sported this
cognomen for some time-but that
was prior to Shaw's debut In this
section. The Laredo feather is one
OF the cleaneSt fighters operating in
south Texas. One of his most pleas
Ing qualities Is that he avoids
clinches. He has beaten everything
In his class here.
Pancho Bout
Another factor that will urge both
OF the battlers TO fun steam tonight
Is that the winner has been tenta-
lively offered a Valley bout with
Kid Pancho. Pancho is a box-of-
flee drawing card de luxe and a win
oVer him would add considerable
prestige TO either Shaw or Wymore.
The 8-round semi-final should
prove q slam-bang affair, for HON.
er Goodman. local favorite, will at
tempt TO discredit the Is straight
knockouts held by his opponent,
Jesus Soils OF Saltillo. Mexico. Good
man is not the jaded professional.
but a local boy with lots OF expert
cnce who still has pride In his af-
fairs OF the ring. He has been train
ing thoroughly at the skating rink
Tor the past two weeks in prepara-
tion for the bout.
Soils blew In Saturday afternoon
for his first fight In the United
states. He Is extremely popular in
northern Mexico and has high
hopes OF winning his fight here.
johnnie Martinez, Ia Sound San
Benito rubber man, is to mix it up
with Paul Seidels, 143 pounds ar
Minneapolis. in a six round event.
Martinez pleased the fans with his
lively antics In the ring and he has
yet TO lose a bout here. Seidels comes
here with a good reputation, having
met some of the best boys in the
Great Lakes region, friends say.
Guerra at Crisis
Kid Guerra, 80 pound San Be
nito leather Singer, faces a crisis
IN his yet unstopped pugilistic drive
IN a Surround fracas with Ken Ma
cey, 128 pounds of Harrington. Macey
Is n Of the best known battlers
IN this section and a win over him
would definitely establish the San
Benlto rooster Guerra holds three
straight knockouts at present.
Two four-round bouts will Omen
the card. These are Kid Saenz. I30
pounds of Mercedes, VS.. Young pa
vala, l32 pounds Of Brownsville. and
Kid Huerta. 122 pounds OF Browns
vie, vs. Kid Lupe. 122 pounds OF
