The state athletic commission
Saturday cracked down on Cali
fornia's amateur boxers in another
move to clean house among the
A. A. U. fighters.
Annually the state commission
takes steps to eliminate profes-
sional boxers from the ranks of
amateurs, both for protection OF
the game and for the protection OF
amateur fighters.
Amateur fighting is restricted
for the most part. to young fight
ers who visualize brilliant careers
inthe ring. Many of them, of
course, will never rise above pre-
liminary amateur bouts Others
will enter the bright light boxing
events
In either event it is not just that
young, inexperienced fighters be
forced to meet talented profess
sional fighters.
Valley boxers set down in the
latest state commission order were
Cotton Adams. Eddie Morales, Gus
LeyVas, and Raymond Munoz.
These boys boxed professionally
IN Yuma on May 1G Cleo Shans

The first month of the Pacific
Coast league race produced a pot
pourri of events and a variety OF
features perhaps unprecented
event in the unsettled month of
April.
Every series which did not pro-
duce the sensational, was at least
featured by the unusual.
Even the weather furnished a
topic of conversation in baseball
circles. Not a game in either
Seattle or Portland was cancelled
because of unfavorable weather,
while the climate caused four
postponements in California.
The race during the first month
was featured by what might be
termed the antithesis of topnotoh
pitching and monumental scores.
These two extremes were necessar-
lily segregated.
Apparently the early season
pitching was better than in several
years, and yet in isolated cases the
runs poured over the plate in
catastrophe proportions.
Perhaps, a bit of recapitulation
will give the fans something to
null or ruminate over, since Pres
ident Tuttle's circuit produced
about everything except a forfeit
ted game.
On the final Sunday of the first
month Of the season the San Die
go club scored thiry-two runs in
two games, the latter only seven
innings A strange climax to a
month in which pitching finesse
was an outstanding feature.
In proof of the pitching proves
we find there were twenty eight
games in which opposing clubs
were held to one run, or a total
four less than San Diego scored in
two games. An there were sixteen
other games in which opposing
clubs did not score a run.
The hardfought nature of the
competition is indicated by the
fact that there were twelve games
in which the clubs battled into eX-
ira mnings-one going fourteen
rounds only to be halted in a dead
heat by darkness.
