your inquiry, we want to say that
we are satisfied and not afraid to
trust our soldier boys with a little
money. In fact we have quite bit
of confidence in them. We trusted
them with the destiny of not only
the nation, but the world, and now
think it wise to trust them with a
little cash, especially when it is
their own hard earned. In fact,
we would much rather the nation
would try to give them too much
than not enough. We don't like to
hear any say aught against sol
dier-not even those who wore

Two startling upSets in the Indus

Declared to be q human windmill

Joe Calves, who meets Ramon Mon
toya in the upper half of the double
main event at the Imperial Athletic
club Friday night, is planning on
trouncing the former Brawley boy

Calves has won nine out of nine

chinery the Philippine Islands have

Montoya is q veteran who can take
good care of himself as the valley

Homer Gaines is reported to be
more peeved about his recent bout
with Russ Bradford than anything
that has ever happened to him be-
fore and nothing Will satisfy him but
to score a knockout over the clever
lad who trounced him two weeks
ago.
Gaines is not alone in his thoughts
about knockout, for Bradford has
the same idea in his head. In two
fights here Russ has failed to show
a punch but he has promised to un-
cork it Friday night. II he does It
will make things rather interesting
to say the least.
Kid Pancho. the little boy with
the bay window, who has licked Fred
Figueroa twice, takes on Pelino Kilat
in the special event. Kilat throws
plenty of leather, but then Pancho
does the same thing, SO the fans
should benefit by their meeting.
Florencio Villa, hard-hitting I'M
perial boy, will take on Fred Fig
ueroa, who has twice been beaten by
Pancho and we have a hunch Villa
will do the same thing-probably
worse.

The Seals will come to San Fran

rates last Sunday, which the Seals
lost.

Entertained on the polo field and

a further chance to size up the

Riding Ell Centro horses, the Mex
icali officers looked yesterday like
sure winners in the game against
the local players. Reports from be-
low the border, however, are to the
effect that the Mexicans are furn-
ished with mounts much slower
than those OF Ell Centrans.
This should even matters up, since
