BY JIMMY GREENE

. the progress OF the bouts at the
Imperial Valley Athletic club last
night, the opening number alone
going the distance and knockoutc
finishing the other three.
Those fans who braved "a snappy
weather and were able to get away
from other engagements, saw the
sort of bouts that appeal to most
sports followers, all the boys being
! willing to take a chance and fight
! instead Of stalling around.
Bobby Pacho, fighting his first
southpaw, celebrated his baby's
first birthday by knocking out Leon
Limbraco, Pacific fleet champion,
in the second round.
AS he was lacing on his gloves
last night Bobby remarked thatN IA
year ago he was doing the same
thing to meet Red Stevens, and
celebrated the arrival of his BABY
by slowing Red away in the first
round.
Limbraco, packing dynamite in
his left. pumped away at Bobby in
the first round and the local boy
caught several stiff ones which set
him back on his heels. Limbraco
had the better Of the going until
toward the close of the round when
Pacho sank q heavy right in the
sailors midsection an indication
Of what was to come. That blow
took all the starch out of Leon.
At the opening OF the second
round Bobby sailed across the ring
and threw another hard one into
the same place. He gave Limbraco
no time to recover or get set and
ralned blows in on him, chasing
him to neutral corner where q
fierce hook to the chin set the
Filipino boy going and a couple Of
more dumped him on the canvas.
He took the count OF 10 on one
knee, not badly hurt but in no
condition to put much of a fight.
Hilario Hernandez, -husiling
little Mexican boy. sailed ont in
the first half of the double main
event to show the veteran Pete Sar-
miento what fighting really is. He
did too. Hilario set a fast pace
and had Pete bewildered with q
Nhirling bunch OF leather. Toward
the end of the round Pete unleash
ed few body blows that hurt. Hill
ario showed that they did, and that
was enough for Sarmiento.
The veteran came out in the sec
ond round and proceeded TO throw
wicked punches into Hilario's mid
riff uhiph cCD,, cai7caI hin, to tol-o
TO the bicycle. Pete was on a mot
orcycie however and chased him
down, dumping him for The count
IL two minutes and Sc seconds.
Capone Wins
Al Capone brought his Chicago
machine guns into the ring with
him and turned them loose on Pan
cho Villa. who apparently had left
his shooting irons home on the
mantle. Al only worked two min
uteS and IA seconds, having Panchc
on the carpet four times in that
space before Benny Whitman
raised his hand as winner.
Villa may be a good fighter and
he may not. He is a good gum
chewer however, his cud working
consistently even when he was
down on the floor taking the vari-
Gus counts.
Mickey Walker caught a tartar
III Johnny Woods who substituted
Tor Danny Mccoy IN the opener.
The weights were given as nearly
the same but Woods looked much
tlgger and heavier than Mickey.
The latter tried to make fight OF
it, while Woods was content to dog
it the greater part Of the tight,
opening up only in the final round.
A caulifloWer ear, opened up by
Woods blows to the head, bothered
Mickey considerably. AT that he
managed to take the second and
third rounds, the first being even
and The last three going to Woods.
Benny Whitman didn't get much
chance to work, except in the OPEN
er and he showed no hesitancy
about going in to break up Woods
and Walker with the gloves throw
ing danger all around him. Benny
works nice, handles the fighters
well and keeps moving, but man.
ages to be right in on every punch
thrown.
Another double main event is
promised for next week and has ev-
cry indication of being a wow.
Considering the football game
ether counter attractions, an d
events earlier in the week, a good
crowd was ON hand for the scraps.
