HEAVIES ARE
AT WORK FOR
BATTLE here
Hinojosa and Leach,
Both Valley Boys,
To Headline Card at
Fort Jan. Is

Roberto Hinojosa. Brownsville
heavyweight "find," and Ralph
Leach, Of Point Isabel, are getting
down to brass tacks in their train
ing for a bout here Jan. 20. Hino-
josa, always a bear for training, is
going through all the customary
gym tricks and doing a generous bit
Of road work. Roberto may be seen
put on country roads jogging along
at a time of the morning that the
American Express would not make a
horse get up. Evidently he likes it,
and his trainer-manager, Jack Sulli-
van, is pouring it on him unstinting-
ly.
Leach also is bearing down and
intends to sell his ring reputation
dearly, il he cannot defeat Hino-
iosa. Leach took a draw and a de-
cision over Bull Strong in a pair Of
up-Valley fights several years ago.
Fans say he looked good at that
time. Since then he has fought in
San Antonio and Galveston, gain
ing ring cleverness and experience.
Fans who have journeyed to the
sandy beach at Point Isabel are i'm
pressed by Leach's workouts and
say that Hinojosa had better have
on his Sunday best" in a boxing
way if he expects to win the fight.
Hinojosa has had a large ques-
ton mark floating over his kinky
head since konking Jack Morrows in
the opening round of their bout
here. This was Hinojosa's first bat
tie and it brought forth opinions
that Roberto was either extremely
lucky or a whale OF a fighter.
The coming battle is expected TO
go long enough for fans to make
their decision in this matter.
Guerra, "the San Benito rooster"
will attempt to continue his sensa-
tional streak of wins at the expense
of Billy Williams on the same card.
Williams, a blond debonair ath-
lete, is expected to try to revenge
the knockout OF Kid Littz. Littz
was taken by surprise and flattened
in the first round by Guerra.
Kid Martinez, another undefeated
chap. will take on Jimmy Bland Of
Harrington. They weigh around 145
pounds.
Ray Torres and Young Parker,
around $50 pounds, are also on the
card. The opening bout has not yet
been decided upon.

State Laws And Loan Sharks

According to an eminent economist % states put
small loans on a sound footing. more than 100000
loans totaling s500.000cc0 yearly are made; 79oO0-
600 persons live ii states where the loan business IS
regulated. To a certainty he says a new era has ar
rived. These % states enacted small loan laws in
their war upon loan sharks.
These laws carry punishment for violation, both
fine and Imprisonment.
Twenty-Five Ct the 20 limit the amount Of the loan
to $500 and only one such loan may be made by one
company to noe person. Twenty-three states do not
permit the charging Of fees, limiting the cost Of the
loan to interest only.
Twenty-seyen states require that the interest be
computed only on unpaid balances and do not permit
the deduction Of interest in advance. Twenty-nine
states limit the interest on loans to 3 IL per cent
a month or less.
Under the old loan shark era no one ever knew
or could make any guess as to the amount Of bust
ness done in small loans.
With regulation and control some idea Of the size
d the business can be obtained very readily. Figures
known 70 be fairly accurate it is said, put it at ap-
prcximately s5000O0,o0 q year.
The average lean IS about 1923. which would mean
that more than 100000 such loans are made an
nually.
a single company, the largest in this business,
making loans at 2 IL per cent a month. reports

moreover the laws IN Is states follow closely the
uniform small loan act developed by the Russell Sage
foundation which about &c years ago began a study Of
methods for driving out the loan sharks.
Practically all Of the so-called industrial states
now have small loan laws. They are:
Arizona, California. Colorado, Connecticut, Florida.
Georgia, Illinois. Indiana, Maryland. Massachusetts,
MICHIGAN, Mississippi. Missouri. New Hampshire, New
Jersey. New York, Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
