BY JIMMY GREENE

Joe Soldivar had his duke raised
as winner last night over frankie
Arregon, bringing to a close one of
the best all round cards seen here
in some time. 1t was a card filled
with variety-heavy slugging, fast
scientific boxing, and the thrill of a
! last round knockout.
Joe's paw was raised skyWard,
but he was the maddest little hor-
net in 40 counties. He wasn't mad
at frankie Arregon, whom he had
just licked, but he was mad at Joe
Soldivar. Mad because he hadn't
scored a knockout or beaten
frankie by a wider margin.
II was Joe's first fight against
southpaw and his first 10 round
scrap. He did well enough, taking
five rounds to three for Arregon
and holding the latter even in two
rounds.
frankie has gone back. There is
no doubt about that. A boy like
Joe wouldn't have stayed three
rounds with him few years back.
At that frankie looked better than
in his recent appearances here and
was in much better condition. He
stopped some heavy body blows
from Soldivar and stood up under
it.
Frankie's unorthodox style baf-
fled Soldivar who had few chances
to use his right, his most formida-
BILE weapon. When he did get it
in he rocked frankie plenty. At
times Arregon showed flashes of
his old time speed, but they were
only flashes. Time and again both
boys huddled up close to each
other, with neither making any
move to strike a blow. This caused
the fans to give them the Bronx
cheer, and was due to overcaution
on the part of both.
In the last part of the fight
frankie made desperate effort to
sink home the old left that has
toppled so many boys but he
couldn't make it. He took a sweet
pasting in the ninth when Joe got
his right working. Arregon made
better showing in the tenth, but
not enough to earn him the round
Herman RitterhouSe and Sammy
Aguirre supplied the climax of the
evening, when Sammy plastered a
kayo on his opponent in the middle
of the tenth round. 1t was nip and
tuck until that time, and the
Knockout caused considerable chat
tering among the fans. More than
one fan believed the blow that
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-21

caught Lamar on the whiskers and
send his mouthpiece spinning into
the audience. From that time on,
Lamar chose to hang on and pre-
vent further telling blows. Lamar
tried a furious rally in the tenth,
but was too far behind to gain any
thing except through knockout.
Townsend weighed 142 and Lamar
141.
Young Papke, usually noted for
his knockout wallop, couldn't show
much against Oral EubankS in the
i-windup, and the latter took a
four round decision.

His victory over Ebbets gave way to his show ing here against the colored cham pion instead of the Freeport blond who was originally slated for the bout.
 Ready to Go
 Gainer is reported in fine shape for tonight's conflict and is pointing towards scoring a victory. Realizing that a win over the Jewish youth means plenty of ring work, Manager Dick Gray has personally directed Gainer's training during the past week, and is also hopeful that his charge will be returned the winner.
 In the semi-tinal, an eight-round affair, Dick Onken, German heavy weight who scored a five-round knockout over Buddy Howard here recently, will go against Pat Hay wood of Philadelphia. Haywood will take the place of Howard who was erased off the card due to an ln- jured mitt. The Philadelphian has fought some good fighters in his class and is expected to give the German a tough argument.
 Two siX-rounders are carded. Jack (Red) Knight, New Haven, faces Charles Bedi, New York Italian lightweight; and Joe Vignal, Water bury will go against Joe Oliver, New Haven. Jimmy Paternostro, Newing ton, and Frankie Marine, New Ha- ven, will open the show in four round setto.

 Helsingfors.-A new golf ball, designed either for play on tle links or for aeronautical observation is being designed here by Nels Bjorg- kenSen, who became famous some years ago through his discovery of a way to cross caraway seeds with angel food cake.
 The new ball is slightly oval in shape. It can be collapsed and placed in ones steamer trunk. It is invaluable in case of a wreck at sea as it can be inflated quickly and will carry the observer for 15 days.
 Not only is the new pneumatic ball a marvellous stride forward in golf play and aerial observation but it will be of some assistance to the railroads which recently were hard hit by the depression. It re- quires an average size freight car to transport six of the balls. You can see how business will pick up.
 Nels says he is crazy to go to America to try his new ball in a putting contest. A site is being considered for the event. Ameri- here have suggested the Grand Canyon.
 Golfers in Reyk javik report they have had some success with the new ball. It butts well into the crevasses. It has revolutionized play in all Iceland, where 20-mule teams are now being used as cad dies.
 Everywhere throughout Helsing- fors, manhole covers have been re- moved for ardent golfers to prac- tice putting. Nels himself fell into a manhole the other night on his way home from a sewing bee. Author of "HOw to Annoy Ones's
 Opponent on Tee and Green"
