CROBM|ER SCORNS
BURNSAS REFEREE.
Some One Else Must Work
Match With 0'Mahoney
Thursday, Says Fred.

"A FORMALLY silent and soft
nj spoken Fred Grobmier today
v had raised his voice in protest
via long distance. His OBJ
lection, Grobmier disclosed, Is none
other than Cyclone Burns whom Fred
has petitioned Promoter Joe Turner
to rule out as referee in Thursday
nights two-out- Of -three-falls wrestling
feature with Dan O'Mahoney at the
Washington Auditorium.
This is the first time I've ever
suuawked on a referee" Grombier de-
clared. "but won't stand for Burns.
Cy did everything in his power to
handicap and cripple me in the Carl
baldi match. And don't intend to
allow incompetent, or Indifferent.
officiating to deprive me Of the chance
I've got Of upsetting O'Mahoney."
Though refusing to voice criticism
of Burns whom he considers conscien-
tious and hard working, Turner init
mated that an out-of-town referee
probably will be imported to handle
the assignment.
Turner Is Willing.
"v WANT everybody satisfied. both
the fans and wrestlers, before the
match gets under way" Joe
reasons. I'm aware that Burns was
open to criticism in the Grobmier-
Garibaldi match and therefore am
willing to change officials for this one.
Benny Bortnick is back from
Florida, brown as a berry and ready
to 60. However, intend using Benny
in the preliminaries and shooting a
nationally known official into the main
event. This is a tough match and we
need an outstanding man to handle
it."
Inasmuch as Gino Garibaldi's a.
minute stand against O'Mahoney rep
resents the longest distance any
American wrestler yet has travelled
against the County Cork Irishman,
followers here believe Grobmier at
least will extend Danno as he has
never been extended before in this
country. They point to the fact that
although he was officially declared
loser by a foul, Fred dealt out much
more punishment than did O'Mahoney
in competition with fiery Gino.

battle with Georgetown, fought
gallantly, stubbornly. but they lacked
the balance of the Terrapins, whose
loss of two undefeated battlers by in
juries offset the loss to Catholic Uni
versity of three freshman regulars
whose crimes were being first-year
men.
In defeat Catholic University never
theless stood out as powerful outfit,
q better team than the score indi-
Gated. An unlocked for draw between
the Cardinals highly-rated Red Flem-
ing and Johnny Gormley of Maryland
cut half point from Catholic Uni
Versity'S score, added as much to the
Terrapins' total and produced source
Of controversy that perhaps never will
be settled to the satisfaction of all
concerned. Fleming, with seemingly
overwhelming edge in height, reach
and weight, gained slight edge over
Gormley in the first two rounds of the
light-heavyweight battle, and then lost
his lead on Referee Harvey L. Miller's
scorecard because of striking the Terp
illegally in the third and final round.
The decision removed all chances of
Catholic University victory.
The Cardinals received another
tough break in the heavyweight bout
when a head-on collision near the
end OF the first round closed George
Orth's eye and caused Coach Eddie
LaFond to throw in the towel mid
way the second heat to avoid posi-
bility of an injury. Orth was credited
with the first round when Farrell de-
livered rabbit punch at the back Of
the neck, but the Marylander, despite
the loss of the round, was an odds-on
favorite to win over his inexperienced

superior in the other scraps. Jimmy
Young, Terp 115-pounder, required
only 40 to f1atten Ruben Miro, first
flooring the lanky Cardinal for a count
OF nine before slowing him away for
keeps. Both of the telling blows were
right hooks.
Angelo Restaino, featherweight, and
Capt. Eddie Thibodeau, lightweight,
staked Catholic University to a 2-to-1
lead, as expected, with Restaino whip
ping Bill Waller t. preserve an unde-
feated record for the season and
Ihlbodeau outpunching Dick Babcock,
substituting for Maryland's injured
Ivan Nedomatsky.

every start, punmeled Catholics Car
men La Sale in each of the three
rounds to win an easy decision in the
145-pound bout to tie the score at
%. La Sale took a real beating,
but still was swinging at the end.

the 155-pound bout and presented
the Terrapins with a lead that never
was relinquished. Oliver was groggy

The Valley Mid Winter Fair

Things do not just happen. and for that reason
1t Is not as out Of place as might seem at first glance,
to talk in the middle Of July about the annual-mid-
winter fair Of the Valley. tentative dates for which
have been set for November q through December 2.
For reasons absolutely beyond the control Of any
body, the 1884 edition Of the Valley Fair was not up
TO the high standard set for this institution in pre-
vous years, and in 1888 the fair was not held at all.
When the 1895 fair opens, the Fairpark auditorium
viii have been repaired, and the stage will be set for
q glorious exposition Of the advantages of the Rio
Grande Valley. a show Of the products and indus
tries of the section.
But things do not just happen, and If the VAL
ley Fair Of 1885 Is to be what all want it to be, action
must be started in the sultry days Of July for the
realities Of November and December.
It is pleasing to note that Manager A. L. Brooks has
set the ball rolling. Mr., Brooks has high and ambi-
tious plans for the 1895 fair. ambitions and plans
which neither Mr.. Brooks nor the city Of Harrington
can possibly carry out single-handed.
The days Of the "Harlngen Fair" are over. It Is
the Valley Fair" in name and should be the Valley
Fair In reality.
The Brownsville Herald earnestly hopes that every
single community in the Valley will get in the har-
ness and start pulling hard to make the fair the
outstanding event Of its kind In Texas.
It can be done.
