Post-Press Sports Editor

Joe Louis, who regained his title
as the Brown Bomber when he
blasted Jack Sharkey into uncon
sciousness last Tuesday, has again
thrown a scare into the top rank
ing heavyweights of the world.
His impressive showing against
the veteran Ex-Sailor stamps Louis
as one of the truly great Negro
fighters. Heavyweights who ex-
pressed confidence they could whip
the Detroit Annihilator who fell
before the blows OF Max Schmel-
ing a few months ago. are now shy
ing from a bout with Louis.
In Philadelphia, however, there
is a large, plodding heavyweight
boxer anxious to trade blows with
Louis His name is Al Ettore.
This battler. who holds decisions
and k. o. wins over a number OF
ranking fighters, has signed to meet
the Bomber on September 20.
Ettore packs a good wallop in
either hand, can absorb a lot OF
punishment and fights one OF the
most peculiar styles seen in pro
fessional fighting. His style, his
ruggedness and his ability to dish
out punishment will furnish Louis
a very busy evening, and don't be
surprised if the Philadelphian bangs
out a victory over the Black Men
ace.
The Hogue Loudermilk battle
scheduled on the amateur fight
card at the El Centre arena Friday
night promises to be one of the
fight classics of the season. Loud
ermilk it seems once whipped the
Big Boy in a street fight and is
confident he can repeat in the
ring despite the fact he suffered a
licking at the hands of the Jacum-
ba twin several weeks ago.
Loudermilk has been training
seriously for the bout as the Holt
vile lad has been looking forward
to the battle for a whole month.
Willard is particularly anxious to
whip the ambitious Holtvillian be-
cause Tuffy has been broadcasting
the fact that he will take the twin
into camp.
Holtville townspeople are lining
up solidly behind the Tuffy and
a large number of fans will journey
to El Centre Friday night to see
Loudermilk plaster the Hogue boy
and at the same time support the
card which will send its proceeds
into a fund for the construction of
a gymnasium in Holtville

Opinion was crystallized against
full payment to bondholders on dis

on percentages to be paid. Rose
suggested so cents on the dollar.
Johnson mentioned 25 cents. Other
estimates ranged from 19 cents to
60 cents.
West, favoring a reduction in
bonded debt payments, argued that
bondholders should be forced to
take some of the loss which farmers
have borne, instead of receiving full
payment on bonds which he said
may have been purchased from the
original holder for 19 cents on the
dollar.
Fugate argued for settlement of
bond problem as a means of in

TT goes without saying" he de-
clared, that We people in the valley
would like to see these factional
issues settle. Our greatest need
is for harmony. Once that is es-
tablished, our other problems will
be met easily. Imperial Vallty

conference with the party's presiden-
tial contender, Alf M. Landon, as a

COL Knox telegraphed Landon he
would be delighted to make the visit
The message added:
I'VE are at Armageddon again and
! prize highly the opportunity under
your leadership to fight battle to a
victorious conclusion is a far graver
crisis than that of 1912.
Both political and economic condi-
tionS call for a display of the same
qualities which endeared us both to
Theodore Roosevelt. I gladly place
myself under your orders and will
undertake 70 discharge every assign
ment with all the vigor and ability I
possess. We go forward to victory"

mony "on the eve of the most crucial
campaign in which the Republican
party has participated since 1854"
He termed the platform adopted at
Cleveland "a clear, concise, vigorous
statement of sound principles" de-
signed to meet the Nations economic
problems. He also indorsed the views
on portions of the currency and labor
planks set forth by Gov. Landon in a
telegram to the conclave.
