BIG BOY DROPS
U N p o p UL A R.
NOD TO YOUNG.

Imperial Valley gave four
seventhS of America back to
the Indians Thursday night
when Sherman Indian school
fighters annexed four out of
seven bouts from valley battlers
in the opening fight card of the
season.
Thursday nights bouts. the fin
est witnessed in a valley ring. were
climaxed by a near riot after an
unpopular decision of the Big
boy Hogue- Tommy Young battle
in the semi-windup.
Every bout was cleanly fought
and the opponents were perfectly
matched. The Indian school fight
ers were in marvellous condition
and made a fine record against
the valleys outstanding amateurs.
From the opening bell of the
preliminary, in which Pat Malone
lost a bloody battle to Clyde
Lewis of Sherman Indian school,
to the final gong of the main event,
in which Shorty Hogue decisively
whipped Henry Martinez. the bouts
were packed with action.
Shorty Hogue threw blows from
every direction in defeating Hen
ry Martinez, CI.F. lightweight
champion, and clearly won three
out of four rounds. His sizzling
left jab and sweeping right cross
again and again slowed the In
dian, but the CIF. champ was in
the running all of the way and won
the second round by slight mar
gin.
In the semi windup, Harry Wood
bury, nearly signed his own death
warrant by handing Tommy Young
a decision over Bigboy Hogue.
Hogue won three out of four
rounds on the Post-PreSs score
sheet, and even Young was sur
prised when Woodbury. raised his
right hand
The fans swarmed to the ring
shouting their disapproval and
only the quick work of officers
averted violence.
According to the PoSt-PreSs sheet
Bigboy won the opening round with
a furry of blows which opened
a cut on Young's face. He took the
second merely by throwing and
landing more punches.
In the third Bigboy had the Sit
uation we'll in hand but lost the
round when he fell through the
ropes. He lodged a sweeping right
and in backing up lost his balance.
He was back in the ring at six
and continued his assault on the
Indian.
Hogue easily won the fourth as
Young seemed about to drop.
Joe VillegaS made a brilliant
showing in defeating Joe Menta,
