Imperial Valley press., 1931-05-29
MAIN EVENT TO
60 ON EARLY AT
ARENA TONIGHT


boxing card, is novelty to be in
troduced at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club tonight, when the
scrap between Young David and
Vince Cadiente will be put on af-
ter the first three bouts and will
be followed by two more.
The reason for the switch is the
necessity of Cadiente getting back
to his ship at San Diego in time
to avoid being A. w. o. L. The
little Filipino has obtained leave to
come over here to fight, but must
be back on his ship early tomorrow
morning.
Cadiente holds the championship
belt in the Pacific fleet, and If he
doesn't beat David tonight he
probably will go A. w. o. L. The
boys on his ship are betting on him
to win, and if he doesn't make
good, getting far away from there
would be a good piece of business
for him.
Apparently the little COB isn't
figuring on getting trounced for he
and his manager said they would
pass up expense money if he cam
not take David down the line
With record of ID Knockouts in
16 fights David is no set-up for
anyone and two Filipinos make a
wonderful fight, SO the fans should
benefit by the circumstances. The
boys are due to go eight rounds un-
less somebody has to take it on the
lam before that time.
All proceeds of the card, above
actual expenses, will go to the drum
and bugle corps of Boyce Aten Post,
American Legion. The fighters, the
Imperial Valley Athletic club, the
club attaches, and all connected
with the game are donating their
services tonight, the fighters receiv-
ing only expense money.
Backing up the main event are
five bouts, each of which is pre-
dicted to produce plenty of fight,
each pair of contestants being ex-
ceptionally well matched They are
boys who like to fight and they are
willingly giving their services to-
night to help the Legion, as a sign
of friendship for Harry Woodbury.,
club matchmaker, and for the op-
portunity to get future fights in
the arena.
Louis Reyes, the tough Brawley
bozo, who stood up under hard
trouncing from Art Monroy two

Andy Armstrong, the Holtville
colored favorite, will meet Rafael
Releo of Brawley, who has missed
his first two starts here but hopes
