RELIEF PLANS
To De TOLD

Very few people in Ell Centro
really understood the relief set up
in this community last winter, al
though the program was in reality
quite simple, stated Mark NJ. Nun
son, chairman of the El Centre
Chamber of Commerce program
committee today. Knowing that
the enlarged program in effect for
the coming winter is much more
complicated, the chamber has ar
ranged to have DR.. NJ E. Dupont,
chairman OF the Imperial County
Amergency Relief commission,
speak at tomorl;ow chamber
luncheon and explain by means of
chart the relief and the re-em-
ployment programs of this COM
munity, and their relation to the
national programs.
The relief set up this year is
very complete and with little un-
derstanding of the program, Mum
son states, there is no reason why
individuals should be bothered with
requests for help as has happened
in the past. 1t is for the purpose
of explaining these matters to the
business men of the city that to-
morrow s meeting has been arrang-
ed and every business man should
avail himself of this opportunity to
get better understanding of the
various local and rNtional relief
branches and of the e-employment
work which will be carried on in
the community this fall and win
ter.
Luncheon will be served at noon
at the Hotel Barbara Worth and all
interested persons are welcome at

DEMPSEY DRAWS BIC CROWD
To SEE LOCAL FIGHT CARD

With Jack Dempsey. former
worlds heavyweight champion as
third man in the ring and the
largest crowd of the year packing
the arena. King Solomon, Calexico
took lo-round decision from Al
Schaff, Seattle, at the Imperial
valley Athletic club last night.
The valley boy who was six
pounds lighter than his opponent
was the favorite through the bout
and gave Schaff a lesson in box
ing. His left jab flashed out into
Al S face continuously and threw
the latter off balance repeatedly
Neither fighter seemed to have
Knockout punch in his gloves and
Schaff, after getting off to a slow
start and failing to do much dam
age to King, came to life in the
last two stanzas and showed to
much better advantage by his
punches to the body.
Both scrappers missed repeatedly
with punches that would have
caused plenty of damage had they
landed and Solomon failed time af-
ter time to follow up advantages
which his flashing left gave him
when he threw his opponent off
balance and there seemed an op-
portunity to slip over some wallops
that would have counted.
The fight opened with plenty of
action and then the boys settled
down to the business in hand. King
kept his left in Schaff's face most
of the time with Al retaliating with
stiff punches TO the body. In the
fourth round King rocked Schaff
with a one-two to the jaw which
hurt and in the following session
he climbed all over Schaff and
threw leather from every angle but
could not beat down the Seattle |
boy who could take plenty.
Action slowed down considerably |
in the next three rounds with |
Schaff swinging wild haymakers |
which didn t connect because King |
would either duck them or swing |
with the punches. Both boys |
seemed to be tiring but in the last |
two sessions they came TO life again |
and ended things in blaze OF ac-
ton.
The six-rolind semi-final, also !
refereed by Dempsey, was packed |
with action from start to finish /,
