ahead with two goals that came one
Immediately after the other. The
score stood to when Frank Smyer.
star of the Ell Centro team, came
in with a horse he could scarcely
move out of its tracks. While Sryer
was changing horses the Mexican
team put over another goal, taking
the lead by one score.
The half ended just after this
goal.
One minute after the opening OF
the second half Mexicall scored
again. And again. Ell Centrans
pushed their tired horses desperate
ly, but could not stem the Mexican
cavalry attack
The locals netted themselves only
one goal in that second half, al
though the ball was in their end Of
the field perhaps a greater part OF
the time. Deadly accuracy and long
shots on the part Of the Mexicans
made them dangerous whenever
they had possession Of the ball.
The game was fast throughout Its
entire course. Horses and riders
were exhausted at the enc OF the
eight periods.
After the game each player was
presented to Governor Carlos TreJc
y Lerdo de Tejada, most distin-
guished spectator, and a beVy OF
beauty queens chosen for the oc-
casion from among Mexican society
circles.
A large silver cup was presented
to the Mexican team as the emblem
of its victory, while each player who
took part in the contest received q
small silver cup. The game was tol-
lowed by a reception and banquet IN
the Palacio last night, with arrange
ments made TO allow poloistS to cross
the border after regular closing
hours.
/ Members Of the FL Centre team
who saw action were Johnny Dono-
hue, captain and mainstay of the
squad; Dave Willoughby, Frank
| Smyer and jess Hill. The latter two
were outstanding performers during
the game, accounting for many OF
| the most thrilling El Centro plays.
The Mexican team was composed
Of Carlos Quinones, Juan LARA
| goiti Jose Morales and Jose c. Ken
edy. captain. Quinones and Kenedy
proved the best players for the cav
airy squad.

ARRECON WILL
TRY COMEBACK
in LOCAL RING

After q long lay-off from the
fight game, which he claims has
put him in good condition. frankie
Arregon is ready to step in through
the ropes again and heads this
weeks card at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club with Joe Soldivar as
his opponent.
For some reason there are many
fans in Imperial Valley who have
been hoping for years to see some
body knock Frankie'S block off. He
is a nice kid outside the ring and
a good fighter in it, and while he
has q strong following, ne has new
er been considered generally pop
ular.
And the underground dope is
that the fans who want to see him
trounced may get their wish Friday
night. Soldivar is not known here
but his press clippings tout him as
a sure enough fighter. He has been
training with Tod Morgan, former
junior lightweight champion, who
says Joe is the real goods when he
has a pair of gloves tied on his
wrists.
The boys are booked for 10
rounds, and Notwithstanding the
underground" stuff, frankie is
hoping to kayo Soldivar and get
crack at Bobby Pacho, who has re-
placed frankie as the idol Of valley
fans.
The Arregon- -Soldivar match is
just one-half of a double main
event which Harry Woodbury. has
arranged. In the other half SAM
my Aguirre will take on Herman
Ritterhouse. Valley fans know
Sammy. They saw him shellack
Alicante for 10 rounds few months
ago and they also saw him trim
Nickel O'Neil Sammy has boxed
