STRONG BOUT
SET FRIDAY
and Lopez In Return
Battle In Harrington
Ring
Especial 70 The Heraldl


HARLINGEN, March 2s.-Who'S
who and what's what between
"Guero" Lopez. hard hitting Mon
terrey bantam, and Henry Hook.
the Indiana Hurricane who has
never been beaten In the Valley.
will be decided at the American
Legion arena here Friday night.
Hook came to the Valley about
four months ago and cleaned up on
al the good bantams TO be found
in this section until he ran into
Lopez, THE old man OF the mount
aims" in a Brownsville ring. The
judges gave the bout TO Hook. but
a large portion Of the. fans left
the arena feeling that a rank in
justice had been done TO Lopez.
Lopez is a colorless performer
who never wastes a punch or a
move and for that reason seems
slow. But there Is no doubt but
that he gave Hook far and away
the toughest fight he encountered
In the Valley. Hook fought a dirty
fight against Lopez and for that
reason riled up the fans.
Lopez has many hackers IN
Matamoros who saw him make
short shift Of Midget Aztec, Kid
Barrilito and others OF their ilk.
After the first Lopez-Hook fight.
the fans demanded a return bout.
but 1t could not be arranged at the
time because of a tilt between
matchmakers in the Brownsville
and Harrington arenas. The Browns
vile matchmaker had strings on
Lopez and the H~arlingen match
maker held the strings on Hooks,
and neither was willing to let his
man fight in the other arena.
This bout was the best seer in
Brownsville since the boxing game
was legalized. and II Is certain 10
attract a capacity crowd here Fri
day night.
a strong supporting card Is
being arranged.

Guero Lopez, hsrd-hitting Mon

an odd ring study. He lacks color to
such an extent that it almost makes
him colorful. There Is nothing SEN

The grim little fellow fought sew
eral times IN Brownsville and the
fans got the impression that he
could not fight. but they could not
account for the fact that he was
cutting down such boys as the Bar

The fact Of the matter Is that the

necessary. He doesn't burn up hall
