BY BOB ALLEN

Frankie Arregon of Imperial Val
ley and other sections in Fistania
proved to everyone, last night, that
he is still trailing along with the
best in the game and has the old
sock in each fist when he put Ray
Ravcna, a Chicago gladiator, away
for keeps in the fourth round of
the scheduled 10-round main event
at the Arena, last night. The knock
out came minute and % seconds
after the round had opened, when Il
right and left to the jaw put Ravina
almost through the ropes in his own
corner and he was still trying to get
on his feet when the fatal 10 was
reached.
The bout opened as if the Windy
City boy intended to take frankie
to the cleaners. He poked Arregon
i'll the face with hefty right and
showed more aggressiveness THAI
the latter, although neithereDf the
boys did much real fighting at this
time. ArregOn came out of his cor
ner in the second round with rush
and the boys traded punches in the
center of the ring, frankie trying
to get in Furnishing blows to the
stomach, while Ravena kept pepper
ing at Arregon jaw. frankie
knocked Ravena down for no
count .est and Ray staggered
frankie with rights to the jaw and
took plenty of punishment to the
stomach in return. Much wrestling
about the ring slowed matters up
somewhat, but it was all over when
Frank got over his two wallops in
the fourth stanza.
From the manner in whicl Ravena
handled himself it looked as if he
had not much experience with south
paws. frankie showed no ill-effecc
Of the punches he stopped and just
kept coming in without a letup until
he found the opportunity to do his
stuff.
The big guns of the navy found
their range with telling effect when
Leon Limbaco, the "f'ighting Fill
pino' of the United States navy,
bombarded Bobby Garcia, Los An
geles, and finally sank him without
"A trace in the second round of their
six-round semi-windup.
The COB outwcighed Garcia and
was taller, but Bobby showed Iio
fighting spirit by staying with him
until the finish. At the start the
sailor showed his wares, which con
sisted of terrific left wallop which
was labeled 2haymaker for sure. Had
it ever really connected solidly,
someone's head would have been
knocked clear across the ring
Garcia felt the power of this stag
gering left early in the bout and
showed his respect for it by keep
ing himself well covered and not
giving the tar any chance to get set
and swing. Although the scrapperS
spent most of the first frame in Just
walking each other about the ring,
Limbaco shot over his left two or
three times with jarring effect
Bobby showed he is no slouch and
uncorcked several rights to the head
that had plenty of force behind
them and kept the Filipino away for
a time at least.
The end came two minutes after
the second round has opened when
the heavy gun found its range and
a l2-inch shell from the bic noise
in the left turret caught Garcia
flush on the button and he Jus,
dropped to the canvas, while Bill
Tackctt read the usual services over
nm. Garcia showed that he is \
sweet little scrapper but discovered
as so many others have in past years,
that the navy belonging to Uncle
Sam cannot be fooled with unless
one takes the consequences.
Only One Limit Bout
The six-round special between
Louis Reyes of Brawley and Reg
ilacentia of Santa Ana was the only
bout on the card to 90 the limit,
and Reyes won the decision after
he had pounded Placentia's IS face in.
TO CORY mass. The bout was
rather slow throughout and was
marred by much hanging on and
holding. The Santa Ana boy started
hitting low in the third frame and
the bout was stopped, but when
Reyes declined to claim a foul. the
scrap was continued. 1t looked for
q moment as if the recent affairs in
the east were to be repeated and
another winner on a foul declared.
