indians Face Ring Tests
Toughest In
Valley Will
Fight Thurs.

Sherman's Indian school boxers,
boxers who have made enviable
regulations against the outstand-
ing amateurs in all parts of the
state of California, will be forced
to put forth their best Thursday
night in the Ell Centro A. c.. for
the redskins will face a mighty
tough group of valley battlers.
Shorty Hogue, only undefeated
amateur in the valley, will meet
Henry Martinez in the main event.
Martinez is one of the finest boxers
ever turned out at the Indian
school and is given an even chance
to wallop the Hogue twin.
Those who saw Shorty in action
in his last fight at San Diego
however, are certain the twin is
unbeatable and refuse to believe
Martinez has chance.
Bigboy Hogue, who handles his
gloves equally as well as his twin
br4ther (some say he handles
them better) will clash with Uley
Davis in the semi-windup.
Davis employs a peculiar style of
fighting and may bother Hogue for
a couple of rounds. Bigboy, how
ever, is always dangerous and may
end the bout any time.
Jolting Joe Villegas, the only
valley lightweight who is rated
nearly as high on the scale as the
Hogues, will meet Tommy Young.
Young is a rugged Sherman stu
dent and is capable of making the
going tough for four fast rounds.
Sylvester Lucio, whose fists re-
semble a buzz saw when they get
into action, will try to cut down
Joe Menza in another feature bat
tie. Lucio is in fine shape and will
put on a great exhibition whether
he wins or loses.
Bert Birmingham, who is rated
as the valleys greatest slugger,
will try to land one of his hay
maker punches on Eddie Moore.
Leslie Childers and Cleo Shans
will take on a pair of fast moving
Indians, Lewis and Bernal in the
preliminary events.

the judge. Because the answer is
as obvious as a saber-toothed hen.
1t is:
Judge, who in the hell wants to
see it?"
That might get Braddock held in
contempt of court, but it would be
the proper answer. A Braddock-
Schmeling fight wouldn't draw
haircut money in this town, and
even If 1t would prizefighters are
MT in the business for haircuts, and
shouldn't be expected to fight for
them. Still, a contract being q
contract, the Garden Is likely to
awake one morning and find that
it has that fight, lock, stock, and
barrel. And when That morning
comes I want the aspiring conces-
sion in the executive offices It'll

A young boys attempt to escape the luxurious but inhospitable sur roundings of Yankee grandmoth- CTS mansion in New York to return to a Negro Mammy's humble cabin in New Orleans where he was rear ed, provides a situation of dramatic intensity in Rainbow on the Riv- er," Bobby Breen's current musical vehicle which opens Sunday night for a three day run.
 Cast in the Principal Production as a golden-voiced orphan whose Southern parents were victims of the Civil War, the brilliant boy lyric tenor has a role which offers him rare dramatic opportunities, as well as numerous occasions to display his amazing voice in song selections ranging from Negro spir- ituals and classical numbers to mod ern popular music.
 May Robson is seen as the austere, rebel-hating grandmother, while Louise Beavers is cast as a devoted colored slave whose sudden eman- cipation does not alter her love for her young white marster"

1--WE get some pretty nasty cracks"
he laughed.
Postal regulations permit any post
master or designated employe to open
at any time any package suspected
OF containing forbidden articles.
Years OF experience have taught postal
clerks pretty we'll when to suspect un-
mailable items.
ITS knack,' Wentzel said vet
eran clerks can tell pretty well just
by mans appearance"
Clerks must ask every patron about
the contents OF his package If a
parcel Of books gureles it is safe
bet the package will be tossed on the
suspected" pile for more careful ex-
animation.
Merchandise returned to store or
mail order house is always viewed with
suspicion, Wentzel added, because off,
ciab have learned from experience
such packages frequently contain let
ters giving reasons for returning the
goods.
Articles banned from the mails in
clude uncertified meat and meat prod
ucts. poisons, uncertif1ed plants, al
ooholic beverages, live animals, obscene
literature, firearms, explosives and
immoral devices. Dunning post cards
and envelopes bearing libelous or
obscene matter are also taboo.
Liquor raises delicate problem
which the department has not vet
solved. Since repeal OF the eighteenth
amendment officials have not been
able to figure out what percentage of
alcohol makes a drink Intoxicating.
There are exceptions to the animal
ban. Any animals which are in
offensive" and require no special care
en- route are acceptable. The ap-
proved list includes alligators and
turtles, the department ruled re-
Gently, but polecats and white mice
are "out."
