CaIexiieo
Card Tues.

Shorty hogue, now the heavier OF
the Jacumlza twins, who has met
three tough opponents in his last
three performances, will meet even
stiffer competition in the main
event at CaleXico Tuesday night.
His opponent will be Joe Cabrera.
In the semi-windup Bigboy will
tangle with an improved Alex Mon
toya. Jesse James Jackson and
Frank Cannett will battle in the
special bout of the night.
Cabrera. who handed Ray Velar-
de a much more impressive pasting
than did Shorty, is vicious punch
er. He is the rough and tumble type
OF battler who will take two to land
one. He has won twelve straight
bouts with the system.
Montoya, the most unorthodox
boxer in the valley, will give Big
boy a great deal of trouble. His
peculiar style has defeated more
battlers than his punching. And
he is a pretty fair hitter.
Bigboy has shown the class of
Los Angeles how it feels to take it
on the chin in his last four bouts.
He has scored three successive
knockoutS.
Jackson and Cannett will furnish
a wild-Swinging bout crammed with
action if past performances can be
used as records.

Tigers
to
Record

Two breaks and an accurate pass
ing attack enabled Imperial high
school to maintain its undefeated
record Saturday night when the
Tigers defeated Ell Centre B foot
ballers, 1870, on Spartan field.
Held Scoreless in the first quar-l
ter, and pushed off its feet by ann
alert Spartan defense, Imperial re-
sorted to a punting game in the
second period.
The quarter was scarcely under
way before the awaited break was
offered. Paul Horton fumbled
punt on the Ell Centro II and I'M
perial recovered.
Nakazano went over for the score
on a reverse from House. Bracken-
bury added the extra point.
In the second half Imperial made
use of a poor kick and penalty
of Is yards for tackling a punt
receiver on a fair catch signal
Two plays later House rifled a
pass to Brackenbury for the second
and final score of the game. The
attempted placekick was wide.
Ell Centro, with Thompson lead
ing the way, made a bclated drive
in the fourth quarter to advance
the ball deep into Imperial terri
tory. The drive begged down in the
Imperial IA.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct 81. tUP)
Cold facts on a hot hoSS race
tomorrows Pimlico Special in which
War Admiral and Seabiscuit will
have it out at mile mile and three
SiXteenthS:
Much has been written about
how small War Admiral is but few
persons erealize that Seabiscuit is
smaller At least that's what
the measurements of DR.. Harry c.
Crawford show, and he went over
them both as carefully as though
he were a tailor measuring them
for evening clothes. War Ad-
miral's Is hands 2l2 inches in
height make him half an inch taller
than Seabiscuit, and his overall
length is 9 feet inches as against
7 feet 10 inches for his rival.
The Admiral has an inch in muzzle
length 19 against 49, and his ave
erage stride is 81 feet IA inches,
Seabiscuit's 20 feet 1l3i inches,
The Buiscuit is heavier. however,
Weighting 1,040 pounds to $50.
The two horses are not kin,
despite the presence of Man O.
Wars name in the pedigree of both.
Only horses out of the same
dam are related, the femme line
being the basis of all relationships
in a pedigree. If the TWO
rivals were of the human family
War Admiral would be Seabiscuits
uncle, which is something he will
try to make the Biscuit holler in
the home stretch tomorrow. O..
A match race is nothing new for
Pimlico. In 1877 Congress ad-
journed for the first and only time
to watch horse race in order
that its members might see Parole,
Ten Brock, and Tom Ochiltree in
a triangular battle at Pimlico. g.
In case you're interested, the race
was won by Parole, the outsider in
the betting.
Seabiscuit has run the Pimlico
special distance in 1:55-4/5. d.
War Admiral's best time for the
distance was 1925. Charlie
Howard, the Californian who owns
Seabiscuit, won't need the thirty
dollars every Thursday they are
offering in his state as long as his
horse keeps well. The Biscuit.
who cost Howard only $500, has
earned 1881 ,4O5 to date. War
Admiral has collected $257.O5O IN
