ARRECON HAS
NO EASY MARK
IN KID PONCE

Some of the hometown folks who
will not give frankie Arregon credit
/ for being a good fighter. have asked
| if Victor KID Ponce is Just an
other set-up for frankie to put away
when they meet tonight i'll the 10
round main event at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club.
Mavbe Ponce is a setup, but one
can only Judge this point by looking
1T his record. He has boxed Goldie
Hess twice, Santiago Gorilla three
times. Ignacio Fernandez twice
Rabv Sal Sorio and has knocked out
% of his opponents.
This hardly looks as though h.
is to be considered as a setup. Any
boy who can rate fights with the
aggregation named above has some
thing besides prayer and promise
when he scampers through the ropes.
By and large we would venture
the opinion that Mr.. Ponce is con
siderable fighter and is quite
likely to dump frankie, although the
latter is particularly bad medicine
when fighting on his home grounds.
Arregon drew with Fernandez, go.
decision over Goldie Hess and has
beaten Jimmy Black. Ramon Mon.
tova and n list of other good fight
ers.
1t is hard to dope out what fight
ers will do once they get in the
ring, but we are willing to risk the
prediction that tonight's fight ought
to be a wow--while it lasts.
The evenings performance will
also give the fans an opportunity to
see if Mariana Cebu learned any
thing in his scrap with Trench King
two weeks ago. He took 10 round
boxing lesson then and never got n
chance to shoot his deadly left where
it would DO the most damage.
Tonight he meets Johnny Blair of
Utica, y. y. Johnny is not King.
He is clever boxer and he proba-
blv hits harder than King, but he
hasn't the experience of the latter.
If he gets careless and lets Mariana
come in close enough, he will think
the Utica city hall fell on the back
of his neck.
Hard work and the habit of al
ways trying have got Floreneio Villa
quite a following among valley fans.
The Imperial boy can hit but his
boxing ability can be greatly im-
proved. He is over anxious and
doesn't know how to use the stuff
he has. But he puts up good fight
and is meeting Salvador Luevano in
the six round special tonigh.
Luevano S ability is unknown here,
but he is said to be good one up
on the coast.
Andy Armstrong, dropping down
into the opener because of several
recent setbacks, has a chance t.
come through and get back to hi:
former rating if he can trim Ceci
Ralding. The Parson can do gooe
work when he gets in and tries and
he will have to be trying all the
time if advance reports on Balding
are correct.
The first bout will be called AT
clock and ladies with escorts vii

September Is Red Letter

September, which marks the in.
terval between summer touring
season and settled cold weather
is a red-letter month on the mo-

when the car should be subjected
to a careful inspection and general
overhauling to remedy the all

pare for the annual tussle with

Most important Of these autumn
adjustments Is careful attention
to the cooling system. The cooling
system should be thoroughly
flushed to remove the accunu-

job is it? 1t seem sto me we are at
the point in our racial construction
similar to building when the car
penters have oWait or the plumber
electrician and plasterer before they
can go on. We are tied up. The
church and ministry have build this
far, now it is up to the business men,
the politician and financeers to do
their part. 1t is time as Floriene
Slappy says to stop talking foolish
ments' and the proper persons do the
work committed to their hands. The
Church Insurance Companies and So
cieties are bringing things to pass.
Let this other crowd get busy, and by
so doing we will save our people from
economic disaster and re-enforce the
work of the church, school and socie-
ties. Our secret orders are busy do
ing their peculiar constructive work;
were it not for their activities seven
ty-five per cent of our dead would be
a burden on the church.
Years ago the late John Mitchell,
Jr., established the Planet, at time
when the reading constituency among
US were not twenty per cent of what
it is now, and built a lasting memorial
to our race. He secured the endorse
ment of the church, but used his own
initiative. Why don't others do the
same in other fields. 1t seems we think
we must solve our problems by criti-
cising some one, either the white folks
or our church and ministry, or we
can't function without tying onto the
church and overcrowding its program.
The church should not be expected
t omanufacture cigars and cigarettes
for our smokers. eW know of one
preacher of the other race who went
into the wheat business, and being a
preacher he named his product "Mir-
acle Wheat" and his enterprise ended
in disaster. Why wait for the church
and ministry? If they were to turn
aside to manufacture tobacco prod
ucts, no doubt some one would want to
name the firm Ecclesiastical Cigars
and Cigarettes Company with the
motto, "He who smokes our products
will not have to smoke hereafter" and
should you not accept his name and
motto he would go out and knock the
whole scheme.
1t is not the church's job to build
factories, establish automobile agen-
cies, sell peanuts and taffy in open
market, it has it's mission, it's hands
are full, it feels the effect of this per-
iod of economic REIMBURSEMENT; and
those who have been inspired by its
preaching should buckle on their
swords and cleave way for our fu-
ture economic success and happiness.

toward his objective with the courage
and determination of a great-heart
John Mitchell was a fearless advocate
and champion of the Negroes fuller

Negroes of Richmond and Virginia
have long been noted for their enter
prise and community spirit; they
have always sent out leaders who
Jared forth to do or die in pursuit Of
laudable endeavors; they have achiev-
ed most wondrously in divers under
takings at widely disI rate points of
this far-fung nation. A large share
OF the success attained by these Ne
groes must be attributed to the sag
acious craftsmanship of John Mitch
ell, whose pen these forty years has
been a very sword, striking fer civic
righteousness and the rightsSof the
Negro. John Mitchell was one of
the militant defenders of his stricken

display of stalwart manhood was
fraught with far more personal dang

like the thunder of the gods on VEN

John Mitchell, Jr., was no ordi-
nary human for he dreamed dreams
which came true to bless his strug-
Cling people. When he opened his
mouth he would not turn back. When
he unsheathed his sword friends re-

The Planet disappears from the none
