PACHO WINS
At O[YMP| P|C

Bobby Pacho, Imperial Valleys
favorite boxer, won his battle at
the Olympic club, Los Angeles last
night, the referee stopping the con-
test in the fifth round to save Lou
Jallos from unnecessary punish
ment.
Jallos, a highly-touted easterner,
was knocked out several weeks ago
by Peter Jackson, who defeated Pa
cho here last Friday night The fight
was even for four rounds, but Pa
cho got his punch working in the
fifth and sent the eatserner to the
floor for a four count and had him
out on his feet before the referee
called a halt.
A letter received here from Larry
Morrison, Pacho's manager, states
Pacho is booked to fight Barney
Ross, lightweight champion of the
world, in the Olympic on April l.
Morris calls attention to the draw
ing ability of Pacho whose fight
with Jackson here last week packed
the local arena for the first time in
years. He points out that Pacho has
stayed the limit twice with Jackson,
whom Morrison declares is the best
lightweight in the world, and also
calls attention to the fact that both
Ross and Tony Canzoneri, who for
merly held the lightweight cham
pionship, have side-stepped jack
son. Pacho is ranked as seventh in
a list of 10 lightweights compiled
by leading sports writer's.
Morrison asserts jackson can
knock out either Ross or CANON
eri and that the colored boy can
name the round in which he does it.
AS for local criticism of Pacho's
drawing power, Morrison says last
Friday nights crowd is the best an
SWer to this.

AS a man to whom $4,000 repre-

selves in a tremendous winning
streak if they played a tie game.
Mr.. Johnston, after he had cooled

NEW YORK. March T. - l have
just seen a strange sight-a man
so Supremely proud of losing $4,000
that he is beside himself with joy.
The man is James Joy Johnston,
general manager of boxing for
Madison Square garden. Mr.. john
ston lost the $4,000 in promoting
the recent Carnera- -Loughran bout
in Miami. My visit to his office
was prompted by the same motive
which causes a man to call upon a
friend who had a great sorrow. I
wanted to tell him not to take the
setback too seriously, and to kiss
off the $50 degree Fahrenheit
roastings the boxing writer's were
giving him.
Imagine my surprise, then, when
l found him deliriouSly happy. His
derby was at even more jaunty an
gle than usual, his black cigar was
pointed dizzily toward the ceiling,
and he was all but doing an Aus
tralian crawl patting himself on the
back.

that beating you took in Mama. y
Beating? What are you talking
about? Why man. that fight was a
bowling success. I only just a

that prosperity isn't here again
They thought he had chiseled sal

congratulated him on the raise.
What raise?' asked Gomez, u
didn U get any raise. I'm getting

while the naval Reserve law provides
that officers and men of the Merchant
Marine Reserve shall receive not to
exceed one months pay year Of
their respective grades, contingent
upon an appropriation by Congress,
the latter has never made any pro-
vision for the payment, although re-
peatedly requested by the Navy De-
partment. He said, however, that
the importance of this class Of the
Naval Reserve is such that the de-
partment has not felt justified in
waiting for an appropriation, but has
proceeded with its organization, ad-
ministration and instruction as well
as possible on the purely volunteer
basis.
He said the membership in this
class is increasing in officers, but that
the department is not taking any en-
listed men in this group. He said
that the only enlisted man there was
a holdover from the war. He said it
was not the policy to take enlisted
men into this class, as the crews OF
these ships are turning over SO con-
stantly that it was felt that the de-
partment would be doing all it could
if it confined appointments to officers
and gave them such training as was
possible through correspondence
courses and furnishing a small num-
