CLEVER BATTLE
BY JIMMY GREENE

6OxlIlB ldIlS W6Ilt llOIIle lTOIll tIlc
arena early last night, thanks to
the heavy wallops carried by john
ny Cavos and Joe Saldivar, who
ended their bouts but putting their
opponents to sleep in quick time.
They also went home convinced
that one Max farley is pretty
good fighter and that he thorough
ly won his victory over Babe Colima
in the main event which went the
limit of 10 rounds.
farley, clever little Filipino boy,
despite the name, won because he
beat Colima on infigllting through
out the battle. At long range Colima
more than held his own and bother
ed farley with short club-like chops
to the head which irritated the
Filipino but did not do any great
damage.
Continually bouncing around the
ring, Colima was a hard target to
| hit and even his occasional rushes
were not solved by farley until
toward the close OF the fight Then
| he started using an uppercut to
good advantage and had Colima
hanging on for the last three
rounds. At infighting Colima pre-
sented an open front for the Fill
ipino and the latter took every au-
vantage Of it.
Tarley's margin of victory was a
wide one, but he had a fight on
his hands all the time. Neither boy
displayed much punch, but they are
fast and clever, both being expert
duckers and dodgers. There were
DO knockdowns during the fight
though both boys went to the floor
when they slipped.
Jimmy Kramer, scheduled to meet
Joe Saldivar in the semi-final hurt
nis hand IN training and the vet
eran Art Monroy was sent into sub
stitute for him. Art has given the
fans great many good fights, but
his day is over. He tried hard to
| put it over on Saldivar in the first
round and his hay1nakers would
have done considerable damage had
they landed, even though Joe is one
tough hombre.
He took Arts best smashes with
out even noticing them and in the
second round he opened up and
| floored the veteran who was Just
trying to get to his feet when the
fatal 40" sounded. Art was game
but the cid pins were too far gone
to enable him to scramble up in
time.
Johnny Caves Wins
Johnny Ctvos cen sock. The for
mer Central Union football star is
slow starter and none of the fights
he has had here have gone very
long. Last nights ended in two
minutes and three seconds with Kid
Arando of Tijuana on the floor.
Arando was no set Ip either. He
showed enough in the few minutes
of fighting to convince fans that
ne lnCws a thing or two about the
game. He hit we'll and rocked
Johnny a couple of times with stiff
blows to the body but the local
boy took them and waited his time
The old left eventually found Aran-
dos jaw and that was the start of
the finish.
Cavos drove his man to a corner
driving home couple of more
blows to the head. When Arando
worked out of it Cavos followed
him across the ring and nailed him
flat with hook to the stomach that
looked to be hard enough to drop
an OK. Johnny ought to have more
fights. The fans like him and he
certainly pleases with that waliop.
Kid EXpoSito took the opener from
Babe Ruiz. The kid substituted for
Nino Perez who got caught In q
snowstorm or something and failed
to show up. Babe used to be able
to take trouncing for two rounds
an dthen come back like wildcat
to win his fight. He tried it last
night and looked awful for two
rounds and only slightly better in
the last two. Exposito beat him
all the way and the Babe had bet
ter get busy and do some hard train
ing If he wants to stick in the game.
The main event, the semi-final
and the special gave the fans a
good run for their money.
