GORILLA GOOD
But PACHO NOT
OVER-MATCHED

Some of the fans around the city
who have been figuring Santiago
Gorilla as altogether 200 tough for
Bobby .Pacho. and have been assert
ing that the valley boy is way over
matched in meeting the San Bias In
dian, seem TO have forgotten 4 lit
tie ring history hereabouts.
They overlook the important fact
that Gorilla, good as he is, was
trounced several months ago over
in San Diego by Ramond Montoya,
whose ability is well known to val
ley followers OF boxing. Conceding
that Raymond is a first class scrap
per, he cannot compare with PachO,
for the latter is as good a boxer,
and has il all over the former Braw-
ley boy when IL comes to punching.
If Montoya could snag off the
nod from Gorilla. there IS no reason
why Pacho should not have a good
chance Of doing the same thing. And
if Bobby loosens up with that short
rapid-fire punching Of his, Mr.. To-
rilla is likely to think he is back
in the Panama juEgles trying to
fight off flock of mosquitoes.
There is no tendency in writing
Imperial Valley press., 1930-04-24

this TO belittle Gorilla s ability. He
is recognized as a first class fight
ing man wherever he has appeared.
The point is that Pacho is not being
over-matched and if those who think
he is trot out to the ringside Fri
day night, they will be due for n
pleasant surprise.
Word comes over from Phoenix
to watch out for this Tommy Luna
who is fighting Homer Gaines in
ihe semi-final. The Phoenix dope is
that Tommy packs dynamite and
that he is no slouch when it comes
TO boxing. "Homer had better not
DO any of that slapping stuff" a
Phoenix acquaintance writes in,
- for this boy Luna can knock 'em
stiff when he connects. Maybe,
So, but this Homer is travelling so
fast these days that Luna may never
be able to catch up long enough to
land his dynamite
The south end of tomorrow
night s card is certain to furnish
plenty of fireworks for the fans
who like their scraps to be shy on
science and long on plenty of slug
ging. Vincent Solano and Mariana
Cebu are no Tunneys when one is
speaking about boxing. Their style
is to get in and heave punches in
any and all directions until they
can heave no more-or don't have
to.
What is said for them goes also
tor Florencio Villa and Pilino Kilat
who will start the show. These hom-
bres put on rousing battle couple
OF weeks ago, and the fans liked it
so well that they have been re-
matched. If they produce one-half
as well tomorrow night, there will
he no kick coming.
After a lay-off of two weeks, the
fans are getting anxious to see the
cd gloves fly again, and to have a
high class card from top to bottom
them is certain to draw
them out in large numbers.

admittedly exceptional.

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED.

Those familiar with the situation declare that too much importance could very well be attached to the failure of the Secretary of War to approve the ten-year road construction plans of the Alaska Road Commission In the first place, the plans for future work of the Alaska Road Commission have never been approved by the ultimate authority But in spite of that fact, the Road Commission has been receiving from year to year nearly all that it has asked This year it will receive from Congress S800oO0 to which will be added the license tax monies and Territorial aid.
 There are many reasons to expect that there may be greater liberality in the future than that of the past That would be particularly true if there should be developments within the next few years as result of working out the plans of the Alaska Railroad for colonization and other efforts to stimulate business in Alaska.
 Whenever work starts on the Pacific Yukon High way. if plans in that direction successfully mature the need for faster and more road building in Alaska than we have had in the past will be so apparent that there is doubt but that appropria tons in larger sums will be forthcoming.
 This central fact ought to be lost sight of: The War Department particularly the Engineer Corps which has been directly connected with the work, has shown its friendship for Alaska and its appreciation of the needs for roads over and over again during the years since the Alaska Road Com mission was organized
 Then there is the further fact that Congress has recognized that the Federal Government is the great landlord in Alaska that it's lands and other natural resources here do not pay taxes into the Territorial trasury and therefore, the Federal tributons to roads and other public improvements are, in part at least, in lieu of taxes Federal resources the value of which increases with each progressive step in Alaskas development.

THE NEW BRITISH AMBASSADOR

The belief prevails in both London and Wash ington that Sir Ronald Lindsay will prove to be of the strongest and most popular Ambassadors Great Britain sent to the United States He is who has devoted life time to the foreign service. He is regarded as one of the big gest in the service both physically and men, tally. He is a brawny Scotchman of over six feet and profound international lawyer.
 Sir Ronald ought to feel at home in Washing ton. He served twice with the British Legation there-two years when Roosevelt was President and two years when Wilson in the White House. That he has prejudices against Americans is evidenced by the circumstance that not only is his present wife American woman but his first wife likewise was American The present Mrs Lindsay Miss Elizabeth Sherman Hoyt, daughter of Colgate Hoyt of New York. The first Mrs. Lindsay, who died not many years after marriage, Miss Martha Cameron daughter of the late Senator J. Donald Cameron, of Pennsylvania.

THE AIIs PICNIC By Mary Graham Ronnar

It seemed that the pilot had told
 the Little Black Clock there was going to be picnic and had asked him if he thought John and Peggy
 would like to go.
 The Little Black Clock had said he was sure they would enjoy it and they had said "Yes" to the in- vitation without knowing what it was going to be.
 When they heard it was going to be a picnic they were delighted. And when they heard that it was going to be a picnic up in the air they were completely thrilled. ; The pilot landed up in the air. It was the strangest thing to do, but it seemed quite natural. Of course the Little Black Clock had turned the time way, way ahead.
 The landing place was something like a great flat deck of a ship. It was held up by large gas bags. It was very, very wide and large and there were long wooden tables and benches upon it. On the deck were trees, sand and earth.
 "They had to bring these up from the earth to make this a real pie nic ground" the Little Black Clock explained.
 It seemed the most amazing thing to be up in the air and to have stopped and to be walking about as though down on the earth.
 we have lots of landing places like this,'' said the pilot. They are built so they don't have to move, only once in awhile they go down to earth to be all fitted up once more"
 Other planes now kept arriving and soon everyone was ready. Many had brought picnic baskets with i them and they began arranging the i food at once.
 It was splendid picnic with de- | licious things to eat and when the meal was over they all played | games.
 John and Peggy were very popu- | lar because they had so many new i deas for games. But they knew | t was really because they were su9- gesting games so old Gin this far distant time) that they were new tofi Ill the others
