.ELKS KAYOED BY
BANDIT ROMERO
in THIRD ROUND
BY JIMMY GREENE

III Bandits. in the old days, depend
ed upon the six-shooter TO become
successful in their professions. The
modern variety goes them a couple
better by using the automatic pis-
tol and the sub-machine gun.
Johnny Romero does his bandit
! ing with a pile driver tied to the
end of his left mitt, and when that
pile driver connected with Mr.
Tommy Elks of Arizona last night
at the Imperial Valley Athletic club,
Mr.. Elks must have thought the
/ Coolidge and Roosevelt dams had
hoped over from his home state
and landed on his dome.
Mr.. Elks got hit with the dam
after one minute and 10 seconds of
fighting in the third round, and
they could have counted 456 over
hN only it was too hot.
llr. Johnny Romero, alias THE
Bandit" is one powerful socker

isn't a Christian fighter. using his
right to tickle his opponents chin,
while the left is held back ready for
doings. In other words Mr.. Romero
is a southpaw, or left-hander. And
what left handler.
Some of the ringsiderss said he
is the hardest hitter we have seen
out here That is a hard thing
to prove. but he can hit and hit
hard.
Tommy didn't go down without
passing out a few compliments to
Johnny in the first two rounds. IN
| fact, he held the bandit person even
in The opener lie had difficulty
finding Mr., Romero, but he did
connect with few nice ones which
Johnny accepted and returned.
In the second Romero nailed
Tommy in a neutral corner and set
him back on his heels. Whether
he was hurt or not was open to
question. Mr. Romero evidently
thought the Arizona boy was
playing possum" for he didn't
close in. He gave Tommy the
chance to get out and Tommy took
1t, indicating that he wasn't hurt as
mucn as ne pretended.
The end came in the third on
pretty much the same sort of play,
only there was no "possum' about
it this time After fiddling around
for a few seconds Johnny chased
Mr.. Elks into a corner and let him
have one in the jaw that sagged

and then the bandit person let go

Silva Wins
The Christy Lewis-Louis Silva
battle went TO the latter. 1t wasn't
the sort of fight that sets the fans
on their ears. Put it down for
Christy, that he is a game little
colored boy, who stood up under a
terrific body punching for seven
rounds and then staged a rally in
the final canto that had the fans
pulling for him.
He didn't fight the wisest sort of
battle. Had he been content 20
fight Silva at long range he might
have Jared better Instead he let
the San Diego boy snag him in
close and as Silva likes the close-in
work, he made things awfully un-
comfortable for the colored lad
Romero took the first seven
rounds though Lewis might be
credited with holding his oWa in
the fifth.

GRANITE OBELISk TO
serve AS MEMORIAL
TO teddy ROOSEVELT

Washington, Mar. 25-The ma
tional Commission of Fine Arts
has today approved the design of
the nations memorial to Theodore
Roosevelt for his leadership in
forest conservation provided by the
Act of Congress introduced by
Representative Scott Leavitt. The
design finally adopted is a granite
obelisk of over 60 feet in height
which will rise from a mound at
the continental divide in the GEN.
ter of the Roosevelt highway south
of Glacier National Park and at
the boundary line between the
Lewis & Clark and Flathead Ma
tional Forests. The national Com
mission of Fine Arts recommends
that the highway be divided to
sweep around the monument on
either side, and the mound will be
curbed and improved to provide
the proper setting.
Bids for construction will be
called for by the Forest Service,
following the visit of Assistant
Chief Engineer George H. Lautz
Of Washing ton to the regional Of
flee Of the Forest service at Miss
oula about the April 3. The ap-
preparation under the Leavitt Act
is $4,000 to take care Of all the
features of the project.
The cornerstone of this memor
ial was laid by Corrine Roosevelt
Alsop last summer as the repre-
sentative of the family of Theodore
Roosevelt. Congressman Leavitt
has announced that upon the re-
turn Of President Hoover from
his present trip to the Caribbean
he will invite the President to par
ticipate in the final dedication of
the monument, during his contem-
plated visit to the West. President
Hoover had agreed to take part
in the laying Of the cornerstone
last year but was prevented from
going west.
