Guggino and Wright
Promise Exciting
Return Scrap
10-Rounder at Turner's
Goes on Tonight After
Presidents Speech

Return bouts usually are as dull as
sitting through movie second
time, but tonights 10-round bout be-
tween Carl (Red Guggino and
Oscar Wright, which headlines the
card at Turner's Arena, promises to
be an exception.
The reason is Wright's presence in
the ring, for the colored boy is short
on science but long on stamina and
permits no opponent to loaf under
penalty of a sudden kayo. Wright is
a prototype Of Henry Armstrong,
whose buzz-saw tactics carried him
to three simultaneous world titles,
and while the District scrapper is
no Armstrong at this writing he
shows promise and is willing and
anxious to learn.
Guggino, a veteran of the old
school Of boxing, whose punch still
carries sharp sting, taught Wright
few tricks a couple of weeks ago
in scraping out close decision, now
it remains to be seen how well Oscar
learned them. If he was an adept
pupil you can begin counting over
Guggino now. If not, chalk up an
other win for Carl.
The bout will not go on, incident
ally, until after the Presidents
speech at 10 O'Clock, which will be
heard at the Arena.
Tonight's card also features the
professional debut of another local
amateur, Eddie Kane, who meets
Pete Latzo of Fort Meade, in a 4
rounder and the return of Gus Mir
man, who will face "Powerhouse"
johnson. The semi-final pairs Jabo

ture bout at Grifflth Stadium on Au-

a hungry" fighter despite his COM

than a slice of Melba toast, which
puts Lee in boat with lot OF
other people. Savold, 1t Is interest
ing to learn, is annoyed with such
items as taxes, rent money and

The idea is to establish Savold as
fighter who has lost none Of his
ambition. Ranked with Melio Bet

as contender for Joe Louis heavy
weight championship. Savold SEEM
ingly would be inclined to be a rip-

checks are threatening to bounce.

Savold is quite fighter, whether
he wears silk shirts or overalls. He
has registered kayoes over Claudio

which 1t goes directly into the blood
stream. Just as humans cannot
absorb oxygen from water, neither
can the fishes take theirs from the
air.
A controversial point regarding
fishes is: Are they sensitive to
color?
There have been many scientific
papers prepared that appear to
prove that many species are sensi-
tive to color.
Lures Indicate Sensitivity.
Personally, we believe some fishes
can recognize some colors, because
Of the varying luck experienced with
different colored lures and plugs
It Is a well-known fact that red
and yellow mixed with white In
various combinations seem to pro-
vide the most provocative bats, and
because there is nothing else to
consider outside of color that must
be the cause Of the strike on some
combinations while others are ig-
nored completely.
The bright colors Of all reef
fishes, and their ability to change
them at will, Is another reason why
it is reasonable to expect fishes tc
be sensitive to color II they die
not blend them with their back
