S 7 r Z A K
B r Q K Z ri

Fred Davis, El Centro's unlucki-
est midget race driver, today car
essed his rabbit foot, bought three
new horseshoes and killed Is black
cats to offer to the gods of i'll
fortune after winning his first
midget race victory in more than a
year at the El Centro speedway
Friday night, the 18th.
Davis smashed the jinx that has
dogged him since early in 1886
when he loosed his speedy auto
to take first place in the main
event, trophy dash and first elm
ination race He also set the fast
est qualifying time.
Davis Immediately began prepar-
ations TO enter his auto in next
weeks races, so enthused was he
following his victory.
Bud Vess, who was out of the
running Friday night and Herrick
and Hetzel who placed second and
third in the main event, also plan
ned to send their cars to the track
next week to attempt to stop the
now seemingly unstoppable Davis.
Team races, which for reasons
unknown, were postponed Friday
night, will be held next week.

ChicoMadrid
Faces Shorty
In BrawIey

Chico Madrid, slugging Winter
haven lightweight, will climb thru
the ropes at the Brawley arena
Tuesday night to attempt to out
punch Shorty Hogue in a four
round main event.
Shorty who was repeatedly out
fought last week when he was
awarded the decision over Wilson
Mackey of Los Angeles, will open
the bout swinging Tuesday night
to gain revenge at the expense OF
the Winterhaven battler.
Madrid, however, is rough and
tough battler and predicts a k.o.
win for himself. He has watched
the Jacumba twin In action several
times and has built up an offense
and defense that he is certain will
pin back the ears of the highly
touted Jacumban.
