In M a tch

Buck Derbin, middleweight SEN
Sation Of March Field. will battle
Julio Estrada. of the San Bernar-
dino Athletic club. in the headliner
of the amateur boxing matches in
Brawley Tuesday night.
Estrada lost TO Herman Graves in
his only start in the valley and
wasn't given a chance to show his
wares as ne lasted only one round
Derbin is reputed TO be a great
puncher and a fine defensive fight
or. Officials of the Eagles club
are planning to match the soldier
against Graves should he whip
The San Bernardino battler.
Larry LRdford. the only man who
has gone the full distance in a bout
with Graves will meet Dora Perez
in another feature bout. Ledford
is one of the best boxers to show
in the valley and uses his ring
knowledge to a decided advantage
against all opponents.
A battle that will probably steal
the show will match Eugene Boat
wright against Toby Solorzano.
Solorzano holds two wins over Les
lie Childers and is one of the most
promising fighters of the valley.
Boatwrignt has fought once in
Brawley and took a decision over
K. o. Ferguson. Boatwright is the
type of fighter that boasts no de-
fense. battling under the motto
that a good offense is the best de-
fense. He opens the battle swing
ing and throws punches in all di-
rections until his opponent is down
and out.
Other bouts on the card are: White
VS. King; Ortez VS.. Hagar: Childers
VS.. Chavarria: Joe Chavarria vs.
Craig; and Calvert VS.. Stames.

Law Was Disobeyed

Did you know that for many CEN
turtles there were laws which said
how much a person might eat? Ed
ward the Third of England made
one in the year 1886, by which his
subjects were forbidden to "go in
for" more than two courses at any
one meal-except on certain spec
ial occasions. Strangely enough,
though it was not long before peo-
pie began to disobey- and kept on
doing so-that law remained until
1856, when it was repealed. A king
of France made a law of the same
kind in the year 1340. It stated that
nobody in the land was to have
more than soup, meat and pudding
at one meal, and even the royal
banquets were kept down to that
limit.
