The ink which descended on

shook off it's losing streak.
Shellenback won his 262nd game
in coast league competition the
first week of the campaign at OAK

in getting the side out in appear

But his old-time skill was very
much on display yesterday when he

Two fast and clever youngsters
mixed in the main event at the
arena last night and when the
last round was over it was found
that frankie Venegas' superior ex-
perience had won him the nod over
Bobby Leyvas. 1t was a dandy fight
from start to finish and kept the
large gallery of fans on edge
throughout.
Both boys started right in at
the opening gong and kept at each
other for the rest of the fight
Venegas appeared at a slight dis
advantage as he evidently is not
accustomed to mixing with south
paws but his superior reach kept
him out of difficulty. Bobby never
let up. He carried the fighting to
his taller and rangier opponent
even though at times this pro-
cedure seemed hopeless.
The first round was one Of the
fastest seen in the local ring for
a long time. 1t was biff, bang. in
and out. shift, away and then in
again with Bobby leading the Of
fensive and Venegas jabbing with
his left to keep Leyvas away from
him and off balance as much as
possible.
In the last half of the bout Bobby
showed the effects of the fast start
and slowed up considerably. Vene-
gas got in some Furnishing rights
to the head but they did not seem
to have much effect on the Yuma
lad who just kept coming in for
more.
The Anaheim youngster made a
hit with the fans last night and
it is hoped that he will be seen
in action here again and that very
soon. He knows how to handle
himself in all difficulties and his
defeat of Leyvas detracted nothing
from the name the latter has made
for himself here.
Art Mccullough proved himself
the better man in his semi-windup
against Hank Hamilton, San Diego
COB. winning by a technical kayo
in the fourth round. After Haml-
ton had gone to the canvas in this
GW4CC 44Olll AldA NoA-ORS W
the stomach, Bill Tackett stopped
the bout and awarded Mccullough
the decision.
The San Diego heavy seemed TO
have a fondness for the ropes and
found himself tangled up in them
almost continually. 1t was at these
times that Mccullough pounded
and slugged plenty and got in his
Furnishing blows twice forcing HAM
ilton through the ropes.
Hamilton showed willingness
enough but just didn't seem able
to handle the situation or get at
his opponent often enough to cause
much damage. Once or twice ne
opened up and cuffed Art about
the head with blows that carried
a sting but he would then back up
into the ropes and get pummeled
and knocked about.
Wilson Wins
Hamilton went down twice in
the second round for counts OF
9 and at the end Of the third
stanza he appeared on the verge
of going down for good but lasted
out the round, the finish coming
in the next session.

STANFORD To
Be FAVOR|TE
OVER TROJANS
BY LEICESTER WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

/ LOS ANGELES. May 5. The
reign of University of Southern
California as head man in Pacific
Coast track circles appeared DOOM
ed today. with the Indians from
Stanford farm scheduled to scalp
the Trojans by margin of three
points.
At least that is the best outlook
the local sports writer's could see
ahead for the Trojans-Stanford
on the long end of a 81 to 64 score,
perhaps closer.
True, the Indians thumped use
last spring at Palo Alto without
the services of Ben Eastman, crack
middle distance runner. but STAN
ford played a return engagement
here a few weeks later. and de-
spite Eastmans presence, the Tro-
JAMS won.
A Trojan victory would seem to
hinge on the chance of Al Olson or
Curtis McFadden beating out Phil
Williams of Stanford in the broad
jump, or for Francis Benavidez to
defeat Chuck Nimmo in the mile,
first event on the program. Nimmo
also is slated to run the half mile
against Estel johnson.
The Indians admittedly are
steamed up over the loss of their
captain Gus Meier, intercollegiate
high hurdles champion, who had
been counted on for brace of first
places in the timber topping event.
They, as a group. can be counted
on to make prodigious efforts this
afternoon. Meier broke his wrist
a week ago.
With fine warm weather prom
ised, it would appear that five or
more new meet records may be bet
tered.

new victim ut night by knocking
out Benny Miller, Los Angeles vet
eran, in the fourth round of a

Goodwin wrote an early finish to
the fight by uncorking a left hook
that landed flush against Miller's
jaw. The Los Angeles battler was out
but the handlers threw in the towel
when the count reached seven.
Goodwin, who weighed 174, had

VENEGAS GETS DECISION OVER
LEYVAS IN INTERESTING FIGHT

by much wild swinging due to the
fact that both fighters tired quick
", Murder Wilson took a six round
decision from Santa Espinosa.
Espinosa opened up very nicely
scoring the first blow of the fight,
a right to the stomach which made
Wilson pull in and cover up.
From that point on. however,
Wilson showed to advantage but
lacked sufficient punch to put his
opponent away for the count. He
piled up points enough to win as
he showed willingness to get in
and mix but EspinoSa failed to CO.
operate and held rather frequently.
The preliminary was a complete
surprise to the fans as its sudden
and unexpected finish in the sec
ond round was not looked for.
Jesus Hamarillo kayoed Johnnie
Becker, local Scrapper in the Sec
ond round of what was TO have
been a four round bout.
The surprise Of the scrap lay in
this, that Becker had opened up
with a rush and with hard rights
TO the head had taken a COM
manding lead which seemed GER
tain to pull him through and give
him the victory.
In the second frame, however,
Hamarillo suddenly swung into ac-
ton after a start which gave no
promise of any such action. He
literally climbed all over the El
Centro scrapper and Becker went
down for a nine count under
barrage of rights and leftS to the
jaw and stomach.
Getting on his feet after this first
Johnnie ran into an
other flock of fists and went to
the floor again, this time to stay
there.
Stage Badger Fight
Following the main event the
American Legion post staged It's
badger fight which had been ad-
pertised through the week and II
proved to be a wow--a bang up
affair which had the large gath
ering of fans who had witnessed
he fights ~ spaSms of excitement.
The first OF the two combattantS
% appear on the scene was the dog,
4 fierce, growing cannie who was
aeld only with extreme hazard and
difficulty by Sterling Oswalt, chief
If police. Wires were strung across
he canvas of the ring with iron
rings attached to slide thus giving
he animals all the rope and Tree
dom they needed for the mortal
combat.
Spectators who had been occupy
ng the ringSide seats were warned
TO take places of better vantage
away from the ring and after the
rope hitched to the dogs collar hao
been slipped through OF the. rings
On a wire the badger was brought
n.
This animal, christened Joe Pa
Iooka, was ensconced in a large
pasteboard box and was carried
in with extreme care. A rope which
extended from one end was care
fully attached to the same ring
to which the dogs rope was tied,
another rope through the top OF
the box holding the animal within
was released and then a sudden
tug on the first rope brought the
fighting gouging badger
into full view of the startled aud
ience.
But-Sir Palooka was merely an
humble and much abused old style
article of household use not gen.
erally mentioned in polite society.
When said article tumbled out onto
the canvas we really believe that
the most surprised being in the
whole arena was the dog as the
expression on his face implied that
he really expected something fierce
and ferociouS to come out OF the.
mysterious box which had been
placed so near his nose.
