Fighters Arriving
For Bouts Here On
Monday Night Care

Performers on Tex Becerril's fight
card lined up for Monday evening
at the Fort Brown skating rink were
expected to begin arriving in town
today. Sabine Apara, 1856 pound
Filipino, has written from San An
tonic stating that he is in good con-
ditton and champing on the bit to
get going with Carlos Garcia in the
main event. Garcia has been work
ing out lightly. He is one OF those
boys who stay in condition easily.
Real action is expected when Gil
Hernandez and Roberto Gomez get
together in the semi-final event.
They are wiry 118-pound scrappers
who seldom fail to please the fans.
In such bouts, clinching is at a
minimum and speed is at a maxi
mum.
Kid Monterrey and Al Mayen will
open the main festivities with a six

Great Speed Shown
By Timber Topping
Crew of Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb., April 19.-Pl
Coach Indian" Schultz, famous
Cornhusker mentor, claims to have
the greatest array of hurdiing tai
ent i'll the collegiate realm this
spring.
In addition to the Nebraska
quartet, LamSon, Fleming, Thomp-
son and Arganbright, which won
the 320-yard shuttle hurdles relay
at the Illinois indoor games in a
new worlds record time Of Ais
seconds, he has at least five top
perS who can do IS seconds or
better.
Schultz has been successful in
developing murders throughout
his long career. He is the man
who brought out Bob Simpson at
the University of Missouri before
the World var Simpson, now
Ame5' track coach, was the first
timber topper to do the 12O-yard
highs in less than Is seconds.
This year he predicts that Lam
son, a sophomore protegee, will
astound track followers. Lamson
won the Texas relay high hurdles
in 14.8 seconds, tying the record.
It was his first outdoor varsity
race.
Nearly on a par with Lamson is
Harold Trumble, who will be with
the varsity squad which Schultz is
pointing to with pride, as soon as
he satisfies a few scholastic re-
quirements.

started the Yankees toward a Z to
3 triumph over the Red Sox in the
first game at the Yankee stadium.
Cold weather kept the crowd down
to $4,000 but a good half of these
mobbed the home run king in a
friendly but vigorous fashion at the
close.
All the usual frills, and a few
more, marked the Yankee debut.
Judge Lands presented the Hug
men with wrist watches, emblematic
Of the worlds championship, and
Col. Jacob Rupert and E. S. Bar
nard, president of the league, led
members OF both teams to the flag
pole where the usual three banners
were unfurled.

in danger after the Mackmen got
him six runs in the fifth.
The Browns won their third
straight from the White Soy by 4

Of three from Detroit with an 8-to-4
victory.

Now and then he jot- ted down a note but mostly he just loled in his beach chair and watch ed flies chase each other across the ceiling. He was so low in his chair that he was not visible over the counsel ia be. Not even when the bit tercst charges were made did his in terest quicken.
