Criticism, that is constructive
criticism, is always welcomed by
any organization in progressing
and in making more friends.
FL Centro's Amateur athletic
club has been making rapid strides
in the progress Of developing fight
erS and has now asked the Sugges-
tions of its patrons to aid in the
Improvement of fights and of the
club itself.
A letter addressed to the Bench
Warmer gives one sportsman's S
views on the subject:
MR.. KINNE:
As a sports follower land very
much interested in any form of
sports / am appealing to your
better judgment and asking you
as one sports follower to another,
first, as you probably do not
know, the boys that fight on the.
amateur cards Thursday nights
probably have the poorest equip
ment of any A. c. in California
TO train with. 1 attend the work
outs every night. Sometimes there
are not enough SHOES, trunks or
maybe socks, and as the fights
are amateur it is the clubs place
to furnish equipment.
Second, and isn't that ring a
pretty thing? Old tape hanging
down where it is supposed to
hold the cushions in the corners,
and the ropes are sure swell.
made of plain garden hose,
enough to sicken a strange fight
er.
Aslo, let me remind you that
all you have to do is jump up
and down few times on the
canvas and you can create
dust storm that would make the
Dust Bowl in Texas turn its
head in shame.
Third, If you can answer this
one, questions will be answered
in a lot of minds and to the
other two questions. Where does
all the money go that is taken
IN from an arena that is packed
full every Thursday mite?
BY the way, how did you like
the fight between Graves and
Jackson?
guess now that Brawley arena
rs closed the Ell Centre A. c. man
agement can do most anything
they like. But it looks like they
would want to keep the arena
full and give the Club a nice
clean outlook. Thursday night
they substituted one whole fight,
left out fight, and then the
Graves-Jackson bloody brawI.
A story of this sort printed
would help everybody all the
way around. But sometimes it's
the truth that hurts.

Eastern loses to Tech. Roosevelt's
