 Assn. Explains Protest

Opposition to repairs to the Northend school was explained to- day by the Parents and Teachers association. which is agitating for the construction of new building to replace the old structure on Bas- sett street. The statement issued by the association follows:
 Lately there have been in the press statements suggesting that changes be made in the old North end school building so as to reduce the hazard ot loss of life in cass of fire and in other ways make slight alterations and in this way prepare the old building to tide over the present unsatisfactory conditions for two years more.
 Much as this increased safety is desired for the children there are so many shortcomings that cannot be overcome by any repair program at any price that the parents feel that it is foolish to consider any re- pair expense except what may he absolutely a necessary They dQrnot wish 10 confuse the issue of better accommodations in many directions with a slight modification in one or two directions.

Chicago Papers
Engage In War

CHICAGO, July 20. W.R-News-
Tribune and the Chicago Herald
and Examiner over the manner in
which the Linglc murder case in
vestigation is being conducted
threatened today to engage the two
paners in bitter legal battle.
Notice of '$250,00O libel suit
against the Herald and Examiner
was filed by Robert NJ. lee, city
editor of the Tribune, Just before
the courts closed Yesterday.
Lee charged the Lingle case ed
itorial carried yesterday on the
front page of the Herald and EX
amincr under the banner line
heading "Who Killed Linglc and
Why" implied he knew that Alfred
Linglc, Tribune reporter, was en-
gagged in gangland rackcts that
paid Linglc 100000 year on the
side.
Under the same banner line "Who
Killed Lingci and why" the Her
aid and Examiner made its reply to
day.
"No such suggestion by impliea-
tion or in any other form appeared
in the editorial, and the astonishing
thought came practically out of the
blue" the Herald and Examiner
said.
"Pcrhaps it will be explained in
the declaration of the suit, when
and if it ever is filed" is the chal-
longing statement that followed.

MAIN EVENTERS
EVENLY MATCHED

When two fighters are as evenly
matched as Ramon Montova and
Jimmy Black and when these same
! two put on scrap like they did i'll
the Ell Centre arena two weeks
ago. during which Montoya was
j piling up an impressive lead during
the early rounds only to have Jim
/ my step in at the end and walk off
with the decision leaving many
! fans up in the air as to the exact
! fighting ability of each serapper, it
is only right that they should be
rematched. This Harry Woodbury.
has done and next Friday night the
fans will he treated to one of the
best scraps ever put ON in the val
ley. The fight between these two
on their first appearance here was
one to be long remembered and the
same will be said of the Friday
nights meeting.
Montoya is a fighter, no one can
doubt that. He has proven his abil-
itv in too many rings and against
too many classy opponents. Black
is an aceup Scrapper, too, and as
each is pointing for this fight some
thing is bound to happen and we
would advise the fans to be on
hand to see just what happens, and
who is on the receiving end of this
happening. Montoya has not for
gotten that he had Black looking
pretty foolish and ready for the old
kayoe at their last meeting and he
will step out Friday night to pick
up where he left off at that time
and try to finish the job Black
from his side. will probably start
right in to repeat his last victory
but we have a hunch that he will
be up against different Ramon
this time. No matter how it might
end, it win be a good fight-don't
forget that.
Mariana Cebu will appear in the
semi-final against Jimmy Hart, a
Hollywood boy. In fact, the card
is made up mostly of Hollywood ar
fists, not the talking but the fight
ing kind Hart has made a pretty
good name for himself up north and
ought to keep Mariana pretty well
occupied during the six rounds of
their fight.
Kid Abedenc. another Hollywood
pugilist will take on Louise Reyes,
the Brawlev slugger in the special
event. The Kid has shown his
wares in the valley before and
Louie is stepping right along toward
the top notches. This will be a
good one.
We hope that Al Garcia. the last
of the Hollywood fighters TO be on
the card. is scrapper, for he is
to meet one of the "fightenist"
bows in the whole valley. Kid Mex
leo of Brawlev. the boy who never
stops and is willing to trade punches
with anything OF anybody at any.
time and any place This ought to
be another good preliminary in line
with those put on by Kid Mexico
in the past.
The management extends another
invitation to the fair fans and if
they come attended by an escort
they will be admitted to the arena
free OF charge.
