Old Observations Amusing.

Estimates and observations regard
ing the industrial potentialities Of
Germans and Italians made hun
dred years ago are decidedly amusing
in the light of today. The Germans,
it was believed, would never reach the
degree Of industrial development nr
the density of population attained by
the French or the English. The
Italians, even to quite recently, were
believed incapable of intensive indus
trial work.

stanza of the BigbOy Higue- Villegas
scran.
Bigboy Hogue, who claims the
lightweight championship of San
Diego county, will meet his stiffest
test of the season when he attempts
to add the Imperial Valley cham
pionship to his laurels at the eX-
penSe of Jolting Joe Villegas.
Hogue's superior defense and an
noying jabbing attack make him a
slight favorite, but Villegas is eX-
pected to dish out lot of punish
ment in the infighting.
Shorty Hogue faces what may be
an even tougher assignment in the
semi -windup when he will trade
blows with Don Benzor, former
sout h ern California lightweight
champion.
Benzor, an experienced fighter, is
powerful puncher and has dropped
very few decisions in his extended
career. Backers of the Ontario lad
say the only reason BenzCr is not
southern California champ this year
is because he did not enter compe-
tition
Shorty Hogue is a superior de-
fense artist, and hits with hammer
like power. Whether or not Shorty
can outspeed Benzor may decide
the outcome of the bout.
Featherweight Title

Loudermilk climb into the ring the
featherweight championship of the

fighter, but Adams trounced Pacheco
