M'COMAS TAKES
THINGS EASY TO
DEFEAT BHABOS:
Texas. Champion, Proves
He Knows Plenty About
Ring Game.
(By GOSH

Cowboy Joe McComas, champion
of the state of Texas, didn T look
much like cowboy in the ring at
the Imperial Valley Athletic club,
but he did look pretty much like a
fighter and walked off with tech
meal Knockout when the towel came
fluttering into the ring from the
Bllabos corner at the start of the
seventh round.
McComas is one of these birds
that will fool even the wise ring
siders (Which is to be taken as a
delicate piece of sarcasm). He
doesn t look a bit husky, he fights
flat-footed. and his blows seldom
travelled more than a couple of in
ches and didn t seem to have force
enough to bend feather.
He must be husky, for he stopped
nice collection of solid smashes to
the jaw without even blinking: flat
footed or not he moved around the
ring in a shifty manner; and the
condition of Ray Bilabos' face when
the fight was stopped, indicated
that there was something more than
prayer behind the punches.
Cowboy Joe didn It show up as a
classy fighter. He is more like
what might be termed darn good
workman. Nothing bothered him.
nothing caused him to change the
expression on his face and his eyes
never looked to the right or left
but bored right on his opponent.
Bilabos, who substituted for
Freddie Imperial, looked good in the
first round, with numerous shots to
the jaw, while MeComas eontented
himself with pecking away. The fact
that the blows he received didn I
bother him, indicated just how tough
McComas is.
The cowboy went to work in the
second and took the round easily.
then repeated in the third and
fourth, keeping Bilabos constantly
on the move. Bilabos made stand
in the fifth and just about held his
own with McComas. The end came i'll
the sixth when the constant short
labs told on Bilabos. He went down
and out just three seconds before
the round ended, and was still out
when the whistle blew for the sew

Seattle Makes
Awful Record
(By United Press Leased Wire)

San Francisco and Hollywood put
on free hitting game here yester-
day in which the Seals had the best
of the interchange, and won, IA to
Z, to 60 back into first place, half
game ahead of the Stars.
Los Angeles beat the Missions :
to 2, to make the series three and
one for the Angels, and to place the
two teams in tie for fourth place.
Portland won its fourth straight
victory over Seattle, IL to 2. The
Indians dropped to .l9l in the per-
centage column with 9 games won
in AZ starts.
Sacramento made it three to one

Palacios Gets Another
Personally we would have sold
cut Teddie Palacios chances of
winning the semi-final for about a
half cent in the second round. This
fellow Verl Whitehead appeared to
be too tough for Teddie. and took
the first round through series of
cool rushes in which he rained blows
on Teddie ad lib as the actors say
Teddie worked on Whitehead in
the second, but still he didn t seem
to be able to take the blonde s num-
her though we gave him the round
by shade. His hard, straight punch
ing gave him a little the better of
the blonde. Palacios came a little
further along in the third but
Whitehead looked mighty strong,
willing to take anything and shoot
back a little better.
Things were pretty much the same
in the fourth until after the middle
of the round when those mean
straight blows to the head and
body began to tell on Whitehead.
A nasty short blow to the chin drop
ped him for the four count ana
though he rose to his feet quickly
enough, he was wobbly. Teddie was
somewhat cautious about coming in
for the finish but finally rushed
his man, nailed him on the whiskers
with another clout and Whitehead
went down for the ten and out
operetta.
The management made announce
ment that it hopes to sign up Teddie
to meet Baby Sal Sorio in main
event in the near future. We don t
think Sal will fight him. Teddie hits
too hard for Sal to take any chances
with him. But Teddie certainly has
earned main event here, moreso
than any other boy who has been
here in a long time The manage
ment should get somebody for him
and give him the top spot.
Ell Paso- Rodriguez and Frisco
Linda staged little game in the
special event, the idea being to see
who could hit the most blows. Bill
Tackett counted up to 4,5s7 blows
for each man and called the affair
draw. From the first bell to the
final one the boys whacked away at
each other. The blows were not
killers but it was fast work and
plenty of action. The highlights or
the bout came in the fourth round
when Tackett 'eaught his foot in a
tear in the canvass and went down
kerplunk to the floor of the ring,
much to the delight of the specta-
tors 1t might be funny to those i'll

the rear, but it is no fun having a
ton weight falling so close and the
ringsiders were watching the
cyclone cellar under the ring if Bill
took another spill.
Some of the fans didn t like the
opener between Tony Ruiz of
Phoenix and Young Hagar of On
tario but we thought it one of the
best eurtainraisers the arena has
had in some time. There was much
more boxing skill than the opening
skit usually shows and the boys
worked nicely. Ruiz was little too
much for Hagar and took the de-
cision.

back for another whirl with tough
boy. Battling Sikh, who has scared

mean to you

Reasonably long wheel
base gives greater riding
ease and road balance.
Also permits use .of
longer, smarter, roomier
bodies. Atthe same time,
a small turning circle is
essential to handling ease.
Large piston displace-
ment is needed to develop
high power at moderate
engine speed. Moderate
engine speed is an i'm
portant factor in the life
of a car.
No name in automobile

much as Fisher. Fisher
bodies are famous for
style, luxury and roomi-
ness. In addition, they
hold such advantages as
sturdy composite hard

Recently excavations were made near
