YOUNG DAVID TO
GET BIG CHANCE
in ARENA BATTLE

Once there was a David who
stepped into the ring with a big
palooka named Goliath, a boy with
rep for being a bad actor among
the Philistines. David was handi-
capped in height, weight and
reach, so he slipped bungstarter
or lead pipe or something into
his glove and put the kayo over
on Goliath, thereby winning the
championship of Transpordanla and
points east.
Tonight another David crawls
through the ropes out at the Imper.
ial Valley Athletic club, not to meet
a Goliath, but to swap blows with
"A nice little piece of fighting ma
chinery answering to the name of
Jimmy Black.
Thereafter the fans may expect
anything to happen. David has
come up from preliminary boy to
main eventer in a few short weeks
and his previous work has warrant
ed shot at the top spot. When
he swung his first few blows at
Lorenzo Reyes, the night he made
his debut, the wise fans set back
murmuring "there's boy who
knows better than to fight with one
foot in the water bucket, and he
uses his glove to hit with and not
to brush flies off the other fellows
nose"
David is Il fighter and brainy
one. In Black he is meeting a fast
bunch of dynamite, who can hit,
box, take the offensive or defensive,
and put up a mighty good brand of
battle. The boys are meeting in
the featherweight elimination con
test being conducted TO decide on a
champion for Southern California
and Arizona.
a slam bang affair that ought to
keep the fans from going to sleep
is the semi final between Nish Ker-
korin the ARMENIAN battler and
Harry Jennings, star gun pointer
from Brawley, who packs plenty of
heavy guns. Nish is out to do or
die for the honor of old Armenia,
after being accused of being a
Greek, and Harry will need to un-
Timber the heavy artillery at the
earliest possible moment to prevent
being the unwilling subject of a
massacre-provided Mr.. Nish is as
tough as he is said to be.
The same thing can be said of
both parties in the Carl Hagar-
Mariana Cebu offering. These ga
loots can sock and how. If fel-
low wants to pick up little loose
change, he might bet one of the
sucker tribe that the battle will not
go the scheduled limit of six rounds.
If it does, there will be fast streak
heading toward the Canadian Dor
der, and that will be the would be
prophet who writes these lines.
Santa Ana is sending Reg Placen-
tia down here to plaster Mateo
Majhoney of Brawley in the open

crer for lots of the boys have

GEORGIA BOXER
FAVORITE OVER
OTTO Won PORAT
BY BERT DENNY
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 90. UP)-W. L..
Stribling, who still is called the
Georgia schoolboy," will be a 81
favorite to defeat Otto Won Porat,
the smuggling Norwegian, when the
two enter the ring before what the
Chicago stadium expects to be a
capacity crowd of $4,000 tonight.
Although lie is going into the
battle with what he terms Il
"bruiscd hand" Stribling has not
lost the favor of the fans. W. L..
complained regarding thee hand
last Monday and finally succeeded
in getting the bout postponed from
Wednesday until tonight but he was
denied further postponement when
examinations and X-rays discl' 5ed
no broken bones.
A veteran of some 800 fights, the
Georgian is meeting perhaps the
hardest punchcr he ever has faced.
Won Porat has achieved a reputation
as a "knockout" hitter. And even
though all his knockouts have been
garnercd over boxers below the
first class it must he admitted that
he can floor any man he can hit.
The favoritism toward Stribling
is based on the latter statement.
w. l.. always has fought with the
idea in mind that "you can't be
knocked out without being hit' and
the fans think that his experience
and craftincss win allow him to
avoid Won Porat's "haymaking'
punches.
, The consensus seemed to be that
Won Porat's only chance of victory
is by Knockout. That chance
would seem to be small since Strib
has yet to sec Il knockout written
against his name.
