Bench Warming
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor

BILE main events IN San Diego the
last of which is to come off this
coming Friday night, He wants
the Graves fight for his
own arena, that is quite natural
but in fairness to Platner, l am
sure he has not attempted to un-
duly influence the boys against
fighting for the local club, in fact
he consented without any undue
squabble for the twins to work IN
the local arena for the other boys
they fought. when we all realize
he could have killed those cards
had he been so minded.
The seating capacity of the To-
cal arena could not begin to hold
enough people to make it possible
to pay the expenses of the Hogue-
Graves fight as proposed without
a good raise in prices and it is the
opinion of the club that the fans
would not understand that. The
way I see it, while Platner wants
the show for San Diego. he would
readily consent for it to come to
El Centre if everything were fav-
orable.
The club needed the fight as
only two of the previous shows
paid their expenses. the boys are
both anxious to get the fight, but
it seems there is no chance to
stage it in El Centro under any
sort of a deal that will let the club
come out with any amount OF
profit.
This Is natural match, one
that the majority of valley fans
want to see and one that has had
a good deal of publicity in San
Diego also and if El Centro doesn't
want the fight the boys and their
handlers have no choice except
to take it to San Diego and get
the issue settled.
Every effort has been made to
give El Centre good professional
cards during the past few months.
We have witnessed cards that
would have been considered good
for Hollywood or the Olympic, and
at a top of s1.38 against their $500,
and this has been done at loss
of a good many hundreds of dol
lars by the local promoters. The
fans have showed their lack of
enthusiasm by staying away in
masses so it now looks as though
We will have to get our fights thru
