ROSS EXPRESSES
HIS SORROW FOR
FRANKIE ARREC0N
Pedro Amador's Manager
Says SOuthpaw Is Due
For TrOuncing.

81 would hate to be frankie Ar
regon tonight, no fooling.'
1t is Writ Ross btoadcasting. and
the reason Writ feels so sorry for
frankie is that Mr.. Ross is the man
ager of Pedro Amador. the little
San Bias Indian, who faces frankie
IN the main event at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club arena tonight.
Beng Redro.s manager, II Is
only natural for Mr.. Ross to feel
sorry for Frankie. He is also cap
able of feeling sorry for Pedro if
frankie crosses up things and up
sets the applicant on Fedro the way
he has done to several other good
boys who came down here to get his
scalp, and went home wrapped in
armcaand bandages.
''Just tell the folks that Amador
is the most aggressive two handed
fighter in the ring today was
Writ s parting advice to the Press
staff.
SO there fans, you have Mr.. Writ
Ross word for it that Pedro is well
able to take care of himself and
also Senor Arregon.
81 never feel sorry for ANYBODY,
SO I'm not feeling sorry for Amador,
and when frankie knocks him for n
loop l III just put it down as what
was expecting him to do.
That, friends, is the harsh state,
ment of Bert Morse, who makes
frankie toe the mark. Bert brecz-
ed into the office this morning and
after reporting his fighter in good
shape, was shown the statement of
Mr.. Ross.
"Wirt's good fellow, but he
gets funny thoughts said Mr..
Morse. "This is one of the funniest
and III tell him tonight to save his
regrets for his own boy after the
fight is over.''
That, dear readers, shows the SEN
timent regarding the Amador-Ar-
regon ruckus. You can believe Mr..
Ross or YOU can believe Mr.. Morse
as to the winner. fou can also be-
ieve US that it is going to be some
fight.
Before Mr.. Ross turned away
from State street to get cup of
hot chocolate, he said few kind
words for Luis Ramos, the boy who
fights Bobby Pacho in the semi
final. ''This boy has is straight
fights since | brought him up from
Panama a few months ago and he
has only won Is of them. Can a
boy do any better than that?' We
meekly answered "no' and let it
go at that. Mr. Ross was singing
duet about Pedro and Luis as he
went for the hot chocolate.
1t will be very disappointing to
the boys coming over from Yuma if
Bobby Pacho rounds out the Ramos
string of victories to 10. On the
other hand, Bobby has the habit of
returning himself a winner and with
a good bunch of home town folks in
the arena tonight he has no fear of
Mrs. Ramos best fighting son.
We havn I heard anything rs yet
about Nose Bailey and Jimmie Al
varado in the special spot, except
what has already been said. These
boys are deserving of higher rat
ing, the dope says, but with two
feuds like the top half booked up,
they had to take the first station
south.
Hulet Naples, the hay pitching
kid from Brawley, tackles Lorenzo
Reyes in the opener. Hulet took a
trouncing last week from Pete Cas-
us, an is out to vent his spleen on
Reyes. The latter knows what il
is to be trounced. for he also took
a pasting from Jimmy Alvarado in
his last appearance in the local
ring. With two boys seeking to
work off their grouches, there should
be a little excitment in the open
er.
Cal Mousseau will sing the open
ing chorus at Q o'clock-not o 8:4j--
thereby giving the fans little more
time to reach the arena for the
opening scrap.
