IN his mitts but he spoiled his night
ing by resorting to too much slap.
ping and cutting which did not get
him anywhere at all.
Rod Rodriguez of CaleXico and
Vincent Solano, FL Centre, staged a
pretty four round special, the de-
eision going to Solano after he had
pasted Rod with everything he had
cutting him up but unable to ship
over anything that looked like Il
kayoe. The boys started right in
slugging and Rod 5 nose got in the
way of hard wallop and his face
was soon smeared with gore. They
played give and take without any
letup accompanied by the howls of
the crowd who like their fighters
raw and ruddv. In the second round,
Rod uneorked wild swing which
caught Solano on the jaw and near

into neat left which nearly ierked
his head off and then clipped So
lano a couple on the jaw which
would have meant curtains if he
could only have followed them up
with something more substantial but
Solano forced Rod to the ropes and

blows might have given him.
Two woozy, wild and reckless pre-
Inns opened the card In the first.
Carl Hagar, the blonde matched
serapper from San Bernardino, slip
ped the kayo to Ray Tidmore of
Oklahoma after one minute and 40
seconds of the first round had pass
ed. Tidmore was down four times
once for a count of nine. before the
kayo was administered. He looked
fierce for a few moments but Ha-
gar got his measure and the last
wallop was a beauty, Just under the
left eye. 1t was interesting from
our point of vantage to watch this
eye swell up after the wallop. II
seemed for while rs if it would
never stop.
marry Jennings got the decision
over Battling Dotv in the other pre-
lin when the fight was stopped one
minute and seven seconds after it
had gotten underway. a pretty right
to the jaw had put Doty on the
canvas for a count of eight. When
he got up to continue, he dropped
back again showing every sign of
pain and agony from a wrenched
knee which, evidently had been in
Irred when he was falling. Bill
1aekett stopped the fight and raised
Jennings hand in token of victory.
The winner looks good and we hope
he many have another chance TO
strut his stuff in the local arena.
Between Rounds
1t was announced that since next
Friday is Memorial day, the regular
weekly fight card will be staged on
Thursday night, instead of Friday.
The arena was certainly packed
to the rafters last night. The top
was III o V and cool breeze
served to cool the ardor of the fans
and made things more comfortable.
Two little pieces of proof that
Bill Tackett's decision in the main
event could not have been very far
off-O only two cushions were
heaved into the ring at the end Of
the fight; (2) Bert Morse, Pacho s
manager, said after the fight that
Gorilla had won, eight rounds going
his way with Bobby taking the
others.
