Cleaner Hitting.
By the Associated Press.

- AN JUAN, Puerto Rico, February
ga fiesta was scheduled in
the little town of Barcelonita
~ today as Sixto Escobar cele-
brated his retaining the world ban
tamweight championship in the first
title fight Puero Rico ever has seen.
Sixto outpointed Lou Salica Of New
York before banner crowd Of $4,000
fans to retain his crown in 15-round
rubber" fight. They had met twice
before with each winning one bout.
In the eyes of Referee Jack Demp-
sey, former world heavyweight cham
pion and contraction in the ring
show, Escobar's cleaner, harder
punching earned him the decision al
though Salica was the more aggres-
sive. Nat F1eischer and Hype Igoe,
New York newspaper men, and judges,
concurred in the decision.
Escobar opened an old cut over his
rivals left eye as early as the second
round and later brought blood from
his nose. Salica replied in the tenth
with a wallop that nearly closed Six
to's right eye. Escobar weighed 1171z,
Salica 1861.
For his part Salica conceded it was
q good fight and the better man had
won.
The crowd, which reached record
proportions despite threat Of rain,
was the largest ever to see fight on
the island.

Arcelli, favorite for many years

lengthy career, Arcelli has trimmed
such fighters as Steve Halaiko, Andy

tomorrow evening at o'clock in the
Willard Hotel. It's for fun only, and
big doings are expected. CommiS-
sioner Frank Bell Of the Bureau of
Fisheries, president Of the Hook and
Liners, will do the gavel pounding.
Contributing to the fun will be Rep
resentative Jennings Randolph Of West

speaker, and who is expected to bring
q tall tale or two from his trout and
bass bailiwick. Well-known and un-
known fishermen galore will be around
waiting to tap you on the shoulder
and tell about the one that got away.
Every angler in Washington
and vicinity Is invited to be
present to join in the merry
making. Come one, come all.
For those who are unacquainted
with the Hook, Line and Sinker Club,
here is the general idea. It's Wash
ington's newest sportsmen's organiza-
ton, founded for fun and frolic. There
are no dues, but each member is re-
uuired to submit two true fish stories
each year, and failing in this, is re-
quired to fish one hour in the Lincoln
Memorial Rejecting Pool. A portion
of the Round Robin Grill Of the Will
lard Hotel has been set aside for the
club, where members may gather at
odd moments and verbally catch fish.
1t was founded less than month
ago, but it has taken hold like MOTH
ing else before. Charlie Jackson, who
is Judge of the best fish stories, has
about a bushel already, and will you
believe it, some of them have come
from as far away as the West Coast?

dangerous rival for bantamweight
honors earlier in the season, inflicting
the first loss of rather colorful

Gormley, whipped by Matulewicz on
a close decision in the finals last year
is vastly improved and may run the

serious rival.
