ALICANTE
BATTLE OFFERS
PLENTY TO FANS

A fight that neither bad weather
nor other attractions can prevent
the real boxing fan from seeing, is
the big attraction at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club tonight when
Baby Sal Sorio and Vivencio AL
cante square off for the 10-round
main event in which is n real ma
tural" bout.
Fans familiar with California ring
history know that Sorio is one dam
eerous hombre, who packs plenty
of skill, plenty of speed and plenty
of punch. He is rated the most
consistently hard puncher of his
weight and is looked upon with
favor to take the decision tonight
Alcante'S best bet to prevent such
thing happening, is to land one
or more of his heavy punches. The
Filipino boy is Shy on boxing eX-
perience, but offsetting 1t he has
a wallop that can flaten anyone it
reaches and he can take EN- too
Not even Sammy Acuirre. who
had every. advantage over the Fill

they fought here several weeks ago.
Sammy became disguised with him.
self after he had hit Alicante with
everything but the ring post and
still saw him coming in for more.
Alicante did something else besides
come in. He hurt Sammy plenty
Almost as much interest IS be-
ing shown in the semi-fin2l, be-
cause Homer Gaines. who meets
Russ Bradford is 50 well known
here.
Homer is a product of Imperial
and got his start in the local arena
He was a hustling, rip-snorting
scrapper, fast as creased lightning
but stubbed his toe when he was
placed in a couple Of main events
Then Homer went up % the
coast, licked all the boys in handy
style, got Joe Guerro's Mexican
crown and diamond studded belt
and changed himself from q colored
boy into the Cuban Kitten. Il
Bradford he will find a boxer who
is clever as the word itself He
showed last week against Teddy
Palacios. what a real clever boy
can do when he is faced by handi-
caps in height, reach and weight
Teddy got a boxing lesson for 10
rounds.
Andy Armstrong is on for the
special event. being due to meet Cal
McMullen of San Diego Andy
fought 9 rafting good fight against
Bobby James two weeks ago and
deserved the decision but had TO
take a draw. The Eo,tville colored
boy is going at a fast pace Just
now and while Aich1ullen IS un-
known here. Andy ought to make i
interesting for him.
The card will be started off with
Il return match between Kid Pan
cho Of San Diego and Joe Flgueroa
of this city The boys fought two
weeks ago and Pancho took The de-
cision after four sizzling rounds,
marred somewhat by low blows on
the part OF the home fighter. Joe
promises to keep EN- up tonight
and to make the count an even bet
by taking tonight's verdict. IN fact
Joe would like to get a kayo de
cision.
Following out the change IN time
made recently by the club, the first
bout will be called at $50 Fans
who want to see four good dghts
will make it a point 20 be on time,
for from start TO finish this card
offers plenty Of action.

Getting Down To Fundamentals

What are the fundamental issues confronting the
Lower Rio Grande Valley Of Texas?
Every man to his hobby.
The one would claim that conservation Of the waters
of the Rio Grande is the most important problem we have
to face.
Another would claim that the marketing situation as
it affects the prices our fruits and vegetables bring is the
one vital factor to be placed above all else.
And still another would claim that the attracting Of
tourists to our Valley in everincreasing numbers should
be placed first on the list Of things to be done.
Yet another would lay before us the claims Of this
section to a national advertising campaign designed to
bring here additional farmers, more business and profess
sional men, more industries.
And yet another would say that the securing Of water
transportation is the most sorely needed of all.
A wide variance Of opinions, you say? Yet, all are
right.
1t is hard for any one man to point to this or that
and say: There is the thing, the promotion of which will
mean more to this new country than any other thing
And SO we have certain groups working for this,
certain groups working for that, certain groups working
for the other. All are devoting time and energy to the
promotion of their pet project, and very few have little
or any patience with the other groups in the promotion Of
their pet projects.
Not only is there a woeful lack Of teamwork between
the groups as they work, each for its own project, but
the groups themselves are in some instances broken up
into other groups, wanting the same result, but not want
ing to travel the same road to reach that result.
This Valley should grasp one fundamental. it may be
stated one way or another, but to our minds it was most
clearly stated by Patrick Henry when he is reported to
have said I'VE must all hang together or we will all hang
separately"
To coincide all Valley activities that all NAV work
70 the same goal. the betterment Of the conditions under
when We are now living and under which we expect to
live in the future, is TO small task.
Mayhap it is an impossible task.

Among the saddest Of diseases to
occur to mankind l. the death OF
a mother from infection during
childbirth. This condition. scientii-
ically called puerperal septicemia,
has disturbed the minds or medi-
cal men for years. Methods have
been developed for preventing in
lection in childbirth which seem
tc be able 10 control the condition
in the vast majority or cases. At
tempts have been made TO dissemi-
nate this knowledge among physi-
clans. midwives and prospective
mothers. but for some reason rates
90 not seem TO decline very rapidly.
For even years vast sums OF mon
ev have been spent in the United
States under legislation which pro-
vided for the use Of government
funds for this purpose. Unf0rtu-
nately the money spent does not
seem to have influenced greatly the
control OF puerperai sepsis.
Recently DR.. @. II. Harmon OF the
Western Reserve University has
analyzed the deaths from this cause
IN the United States for the period
from 1922 10 1927 inclusive. The
figures show that there certainly
has been no tendency for the rates
TO decline In the city white. city

In hospitals under well controlled
conditions and when the childbirth

clan who understands thoroughly
the methods or prevention OF puer-
peral infection. the rates can be
