One OF the best boxing cards eve
put on in the Valley, was that OF
Monday night at the Fort Brown
skating rink. Promoter Tex Becer-
ril is receiving congratulations from
all quarters on the high-class man
ner IN which the program IN gen
erai was handled. and the fight the
scrappers put into their work.
The heavyweight scrap between
Hinojosa and Leach, heading. the
card. was not a disappointment, but
a treat 1t wasn't a good fight
but IL was interesting. Neither Of
the boys showed much. hui they
gave all they had, and that's what
counts.
This Martinez boy. from Montcr-
rey, looks like one OF the best scrap
pers at his weight lao pounds, ever
seen IN the Valley. He can give
and take, and has proven a popular
Pugilist with Valley fans. Jimmy
Bland az Harlingen was no match
for him. and the Harlingen boys
second threw in the towel in the
third round.
Lupe and Soils, game little bat
lers of the 1ls-pound class, opened
the program, and put on n fine
exhibition. Billy Williams and
the Growing rooster" from San
Benito, Guerra, started out like IL
would a real fight, but Williams
hurt his hand. and rot a low punch
rendering him unable 10 continue
the fight. and another victory was
added TO the San BenitO boys long
string.
