the Eagles boxing arena in Brawley
Tuesday night cheered Imperial
Valley amateur boxers until every
one became exhausted from yelling
while the amateurs put on the
greatest fight program ever wit
messed in the valley.
Eight fights-every one main
event-thrilled the large audience
with fast action. clever boxing and
real old fashioned Slugging. Half
of the time the fans were on their
feet demanding a KO. and urging
the young Scrappers on, not that
they needed urging. for every boy
put everything he had into the
fight and the best man Won.
In the first bout Bob Haggar
l12 of Palm Springs decisioned Don
Jones in fast and furious bout
that gave fans sample of what
the whole program would be like.
Haggar packed a good wallop and
too much experience for the Braw-
ley boy.
The second bout brought Herb
Nj dNGS O4 Ii StAAlAOs dAlO CGi1Al 1JlhCf
of San Bernardino together Graves
let go a flock of lefts and rights
to kayo the San Bernardino boy
in l minute and 25 seconds of the
second round.
At this point the fans became
aware of the expert work of the
management and referee Bill Tack
EFT in running off the bouts right
on schedule. Immediately after
one match was completed the next
fighters were in the ring ready to
go. No waiting, no stalling, but
all action
Adams Tough

Adams proved too tough for Al
Mamazano and Adams laid the
Filipino low in the second round
with a series of left and right hooks
to the point of the chin.
Bill White of San Bernardino
and Mike Castillo of BTawley put
on a great fight. The first round
was fast and furious-both fighters
threw gloves in all directions and
then started throwing ring posts
and water buckets.
The second round was a repe-
tition of the first. but in the third
Castillo slowed up. In the fourth
canto the gloves began to fly again
and Castillo was awarded an un-
popular decision.
Sylvester Lucio, whose first name
betrayed his true ability, blasted
Al Cantell, Westmorland Filipino, all
over the ring. Cantel put up a
game fight but could not match
the speed and power of Lucio. Bill
Tackett stopped the fight at the
beginning of the fourth round.

Kid Childers made clean sweep
of it for Ell Centro with a K.O. vic
tory over Mike Gotta of Brawley.

the first round In the second canto
however, Childers got warmed up
and slapped Gotta to the canvas.

pounded Gotta all around the ring
and then knocked him flat. The
bell saved Gotta but Childers re-
newed the attack in the fourth and
knocked the BraWley boy out in
49, seconds.

from BraWley took four round de-
cision from Cleo Shabs. Negro boy,

fast and clever, completely out
classed the Negro and earned a
popular decision.
MOrressettI Wins
In the final bout of the evening
Jack Morrissetti, the pride of Braw-
ley, took a decision over Harry
Ledford of San Bernardino. Nor
ressetti, who has not lost a fight
in two years of fighting easily de-
ciSioned the San Bernadino fighter
and may have gained K. o. but
the Coast boy kept backing up
and Morressetti could not reach
Ledford to get in solid blow.
AS the audience filed out of the
arena, praising the work of the
fighters, and the management, one
man said That was wonderful
and that's just what it was
WONDERFUL!
