DISTRICT INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET OPENS HERE FRIDAY
CPORTs


What manner Of meat doth this
guy Lefty" Swayze of Edinburg
Junior College dine on? Not only
did Lefty hurl a no-hit game
against the South Texas State
Teachers College Javelinas, but he
added insult to injury by horse
laughing in the batters' collective
faces as he retired them with reg
ularity. The S. P. G. A. should do
something about this.
The Edinburg Broncs and the
Kingsville Javelinas are fast build
ing up a rivalry that seems des-
tined to produce several South
Texas annual classics. So far,
however, the Broncs have ruled in
most Of their contests with a whip
and a whistle. The Bronc nine will
journey to Kingsville next week
and play the Wild Hogs a series
in their own sty.
Boxing in Brownsville is decided
ly on the comeback. The game suf-
fered a black eye here several
years ago when the old whisper of
'frame-Up" got around. Most of
the old crowd have disappeared and
the fights are being put on under
new management. Tex Becerril,
an ardent fan and somewhat of a
boxer himself, started the come
back by putting on several unpre-
tentious cards. He freely told all
and sundry that he could afford
to bring no world heaters here, but
he could entertain the fans by well
matched bouts between Valley boys
This he proceeded to do. On the
whole his cards have been good and
Tex has worked up to the point
where he is bring battlers Of the
first water to the Valley to per-
form for the enjoyment Of the
fans. Aided perhaps by the dead
ness Of the boxing game in San
Antonio, Tex has lined up a good
card for Monday night at the Fort
Brown skating rink. The fight
racket is almost as dead as a door
knob in the Alamo City and conse-
quently good boys can be obtained
here at reasonable prices.
Carlos Garcia, 135 pound sensa-
ton Of Mexico City, will duel with
his knuckles for 10 rounds
against Sabine Apara, 1877 pounds
Of the Philippines, in the main
event Monday night. I say they
will duel ten rounds; what I mean
is that they are scheduled for ten
stanzas. Either packs the old
K. 0.
Garcia made a ten strike with
the fight fans in Mercedes Monday
night when he disposed of Mike
Golinda. Garcia's weaving, duck
ing, jabbing and punching showed
him to have a very, very clear idea
what it vas all about. Carlos ham,
mered Golinda to the canvas in the
sixth for the count.
Garcia will rate no easy opposi-
tiCn in the Fort Brown skating
rink. Apara is of those clever
Filipincs that you read about but
seldom see in the Valley. Apara
has been going like a house afire
recently. He made Gene Cullen,
Austin whiz, quit in three rounds
recently. However, Cullen has an
other version Of the affair.
=
Judge for yourself: Apara was
beating Cullen very badly. Cullen
claimed a foul. The referee refused
to allow 1t. Cullen stuck his nose
IN the air and stalked stiff legged tc
the dressing room, refusing tc
continue.
Kid Monterrey, 1874 pounds OF
Laredo, will battle Al Maven. 126
pounds OF San Antonio, on the
same card. Monterrey has cavort-
ed IN Valley rings before and is
wen known around Mercedes
Friends of Monterrey have been
bemoaning his fate for some time
after reports came in by grapevine
that Monterrey had been. killed in
q train wreck in Florida. Monter-
rey unexpectedly bobbed I'D il
Mercedes at the last fight to state
that the reports Of his demise
were slightly exaggerated" a IA
