Young lacked the old zip in the
main event last week and midget

MANUEL ORTIZ
KAYOS BEAR I'M
FIRST ROUND

Fifteen hundred screaming fight
fans Thursday night watched
Shorty and Bigboy Hogue, Jacum-
ba's famous fighting twins, add
more laurelS to their already vast
collection with thrilling victories
over Henry Martinez and Fred
Young from Sherman Indian school.
Fighting III the double main event
the twins kept the fans on their
feet throughout the bouts.
Bigboy clearly won three rounds
to defeat Young but Shorty was
barely able to exc out a decision
over the powerful, sharp-shooting
Martinez.
Shorty threw punches with piston
like force and regularity in the
opening two rounds and had Mar
tine2 hanging on for dear life at
thee end of the second round. But
the Indian, living up to his reputa-
ton for beings tough and to his
vow TO give Shorty the fight Of his
career held the twin even in the
third canto and took the fourth
by slight margin.
Hogue tired in the last round
and though he stopped most of the
blows with his gloves and arms,
many landed and took effect.
Bigboy, wary III the first round
against Young. dropped the stanza
to the Indian but came back with
a rush in the last three rounds that
left the Indian in bad shape. His
nose dripped blood from repeated
left hooks and right jabs in the
clinches. His lips were sWelled
from powerhouse rights and his
body was red from stopping
punches.
Bigboy was far too clever and too
fast for the Indian and only the
will power of the Sherman boy kept
him on his feet in that last canto
Manuel Ortiz, dynamiting Ell Cen
tro bamtamweight, poured rights
and lefts in Teddy Bear with speed
and precision to drop the Riverside
fighter after 55 seconds of fighting
IN the first stanZa.
Bert Birmingham clowned his
way to a decision over Babe Daro
and Don Woolridge showed vast
improvement in knocking out Pete
Gonzalez in the second round of the
third bout. Woolridge's left jabs
and right crosses kept Gonzalez on
the defense all of the way and
brought Don his most spectacular
victory of the year.
Cleo Shans kayoed Johnny Sc
quora in one minute of the second
stanza and Joe Ruiz cooled Ralph
Leckner of Imperial in the first
round of the opener.

st. Louis Cards, say, would do it,,
when they started a fight, some
player on the opposing team quiet
ly walked out and started actually

Dean man wouldn't get back until

Perhaps its a bit sadistic on my

accept his bid, and charge him.
I can see the light of glee in Roly-

as he let the first left hook fly.
Given a corner to stand in, SO
that he could not be made the
victim of the flank attack that
is so popular with baseball players,
and Tony, or any other half a
dozen fighters I could name, would
be an even money bet to lick the
entire first divisions of both ma
jor leagues in one afternoon.
If the cluboWners don't adopt
my suggestion of official bouncers,
think the least they could do
would be to buy their players long
wigs. Then the sissies could pull
each others hair when they got
mad. They wouldn't appear quite
so foolish doing that as they do
trying to fight with their fists.

MOTOR OUTPUT
BEST SINCE ~

The highest weekly production
since 1929 will be set this week.
with output Of cars and trucks
estimated at 1890 units as the
entire industry attains peak Ca
pacity after more than three
months Of strike turmoil, accord.
ing to the Automotive Daily News
mid.week survey of the industry.
This figure is up about 1000
units over the revised total Of
1879 ,068 for a week ago, which
along With the week just prior to
the Chrysler, Hudson and REQ
labor dispute, had previously been
the high points for the year.
A. D. N. says. Production is be-
ing speeded at virtually all plants.
and is likely that the current
weeks output will be maintained,
or bettered for the rest Of this
quarter.
The current weeks production
is well above the total turned out
in the corresponding period in 1885
when 117,6 units were run off
the assembly lines. The current
April rate compares favorably with
April, 1929 when 663, 81l units were
produced, according to A. D. N
figures.
All Chrysler divisions, which re-
sumed operations early last week
following a 30-day shutdown, are
now back at the peak production
attained prior to the strikes, the
newspaper says.
Hudson! Terraplane, faced with
a heavy backlog Of orders piled
up during the forced shutdown,
has increased its output constd.
erably and will produce an est.
mated $500 units this week, A. D.
