These prove that bond dealers have lately been loaded up with govern ment bonds, that they have been turning their holdings over to banks. In turn, the banks have been reduc ing their dealers’ loans and increas ing their own holdings of govern ments. In other words, a process of dealer liquidation was on when the latest Treasury auction was held: he figures show that bank loans to dealers were cut $63,000,000 last week while bank holdings of gov ernments increased $47,000,000, Chi cago banks took $16,000,000 more ‘of governments that week, In non-banking languages this means that Mr, Morgenthau could have inserted a pin in a calendar, blindfolded, and have selected a bet ter time for his auction, ATURATION?; Excitement lboutl S the failure did not run very deep on the inside. Most trustworthy authorities believe it was a danger signal, but that signigicance can be over-estimated, For instance, they cannot see that it means the satura tion point for government financing is approaching, at least not over the immediate horizon, What calms them is the fact that excess reserves of banks have now reached the peak of $2,780,000,000. Thus, while the bankers might like to hold down on buying governments, they cannot, for this reason and others, Furthermore, they have so many governments now that the res ponsibility for maintaining the price rests almost as heavily on them as on Mr. Morgenthau, This may partly explain why Mr. Morgenthau was so tranquil as to suggest he had no apprehensions about the future, B]’F’I‘ERNESS: Another phase or’ matter is the inner relationship between the bond dealers and the Treasury: They have both now reached the ear-chewing stage. You can depend on it that the bond boys will do everything they can to make Mr. Morgnthau stop the auction bid ding system, The Treasury formerly played safe on bond issues., The interest rate was asually elevated Y%, sometimes more, abdve the zero point. But under the bidding system, the leaders are com peting to cut down their profits. SELF—PRESERVATION: The gov ernment is not the only one having trouble with the bond mar ket in the matter of interest rates. Some scouts for the SEC have dis- covered evidence lately indicating that bond dealers and brokers are| working together in informal com binations to prevent rates from going lower on private bonds, Several dealers combined recently to bring pressure on one bond house which underbid all competitors on a $10,000,000 institutional issue. “ELUSIONS: Latest book on the i V4 private reading list of the New Deal thinkers is one entitled “Extra~ ordinary Popular Delusions and the Maudness of Crowds.” It is supposed to have been written in 1841. Its re- vival is attributed to Bernard Ba ruch, who composed a foreword noting the similiarity of the delu-| sions, of past centuries with those of 1929, CARS, SPECIAL TRAINS BRING VISITORS The initial Labor Day crowds came and went on Sunday, including 750 excursionists who arrived here from San Antonio on a special train over the Missouri Pacific Lines at 6 a. m. Sunday and left on their return at midnight Sunday. In adidtion to these excursionists many others journeyed to Laredo by auto Sun day and took in the bullfight held in Nuevo Laredo Sunday afternoon. While many reached Laredo from outside points Sunday and Monday, quite a number of Laredoans took advantage of the opportunity existing for a two-days yacation and journey= ed in their cars southward into old Mexico, eastward toward Corpus Christi or northward to San Antonio and other points. Monday morning witnessed the arrival of many carg in Laredo from all directions to spend Labor Day, some of these re malining over here, while many others continued on trips to Monterrey and Saltillo. It was estimated Laredo had several thousand visitors Sunday and Monday. In Laredo Labor Day is being cele brated in a quiet manner, with all federal, state, county and city bran ches observing the day as a holiday, while many places of business re mained closed, giving their employes an opportunity to enjoy a short vaca tion trip to outside points, Bedsheets x x x Using Rope Of 2 Convict Escapes NEW YORK, Sept. 2-Mildly inter ‘ested street loungers today watched ‘Robert V. Miller 43 reputed inter ‘national swindler slip down a rope of bedsheets and flee from the Fed eral detention prison. Miller whom police listed in an ar rest record in many American cities and several European countries had been held under $50000 bail since his arrest May 13 on a charge of posses sion of counterfeit money and plates, Miller was known as “Count” Vie tor Lustig, against whom 39 arrests have been reported. The socalled “King of the Con Men” posed as a window-washer at a prison window before sliding to freedom down his bedsheet rope. 'Webb Farmers Get Government Funds Webb county got a fairly good share of funds from the Department of Agriculture as a result of its parti cipation in the cotton and corn?he~ measure, according to official an nouncement just made from Wash ington. Webb county farmers receiv~ ed approximately $11,900.99 out of the total of $46,074,292.6. paid Texas farm ers for participation in the cotton, wheat and corn-hog programs for the year ending June 30. The report shows that Webb coun ty cotton farmers received a total of $9,153.93, while Webb county corn-hog farmers who participated in the re duction program received $2,747.06. They did not share in the wheat pro gram, as no wheat is grown in this county.

West of this, the 15th District, has sent a number of Laredo friends copies of the bill he recently introduced in congress, which was passed and |signml by President Roosevelt, a«a thorizing the state department to negotiate a treaty with Mexico for a division of the waters of the Rio Grande and Tiajuana, In a letter accompanying the copy of the bill as it now exists Congress man West states: “Of course we are primarily inter ested in the Rio Grande. Also you will see from its terms that it author izes the president or any agency de signated by kim to construct any works or projeets necessary to carry out the terms of a treaty that may be negotiated with Mexico, “It is the unanimous opinion of all who have made a study of irigation and flood control on the Rio Grande that in order to accomplish these two things it will be necessary to construct several retaining dams, one of which, according to the informa tion I have received, will be located above Roma, one a short distance above Laredo and after more deve lopments along the Rio Grande a third in the Big Bend section. “These dams when constructed will eliminate the flood men:ice, and at the same time regulate the flow of the river by releasing the flood waters from the dams in such quan tities as will at all times provide a sufficient amount of water to ade quately serve both sides of the river.” Floods Threaten Kansas, Nebraska (By Associated Press) Residents of the flood-troubled Republican River Valley in Nebraska and Kansas apprehensively eyed ris ing waters Sunday in the wake of ‘heavy week-end downpours, Leaden skies held a threat of still more rain. Rock Island Railroad tracks were ‘washed out near Smith Center, where ‘the 3.8 inches of rainfall was des crided as “the haviest in 20 years,” WOMEN HAVE VOTE SAYS CARDENAS MEXICO CITY, Sept. 2—(#)— The right of Mexican working women to vote and enjoy other privileges of citizenship was proclaimed officially by President Lazaro Cardenas today in an address opening the annual four months’ session of Congress. Although the Constitution is not specific on that point, the President asserted the laws of the land grant women workers equal rights, and said their temperamnet “equips them to embrace sincerely and enthusias tically a generous. struggle, placing aside all selfish interest.” The guiding principle of Mexico's foreign policy, he asserted, was “hands off” the internal affairs of other countries. In return, he said, Mexico expects and has received similar treatment in réspect for its sovereignty. Referring to criticism of Mexico's religious and educational systems he said the “campaign of defamation of’ our institutions is decreasing” as the government's purposes become under- stood, President Cardenas said questions arising between Mexico and the Unit- l ed States over water distribution were near a solution, He gave no hint of Mexico's atti- tude toward the Ethiopian question! for the League of Nations Council session next Wednesday at Geneva, saying only “Mexico belongs to the league for a spirit of fraternity.” Fifteen rural school teachers have been killed during the year by “ignorant or.fanatic persons,” Carde-{ nas reported. but he said socialistic education had already begun to show benefits, MRS.

2 Society--A Complete Page For Laredo and Southwest Texas Women Caroline Chatfield Says Today Parents Can's Do Anything About the Inheritance They Hand Down to Their Children Nor Always Discipline Them in Such a Way as to Bring Out the Best in Them. They Can Teach Their Children Good Table Manners. Mothers, if you are perniitting your children to grow up with bad table manners you are committing a sin against them which you can never expiate as long as you live. For your children wn}l be handi capped in business and social life as long as they live. It is queer but true that habits practised three times a day at the table are the hardest to break. Children come out of homes where bad grammar is the rule of speech, go out into the world where they hear correct English spoken, soon catch on and correct their mistakes. Children who haven't been taught tact in dealing with their friends, or good taste in dress, in deportment, in reading, and expressing themselves, acquire i these things later when they observe tact and good taste in others. iBut table manners learned and practised at home stick to them like Dick’s hatband. Some time ago a young man made application for an im portant position with a large firm, His credentials were topping, his appearance was prepossessing and the head of the business was so favorably impressed with him, that he invited him to his home for dinner, expecting to sign the contract with him next day. This contract would have meant to the young man a large increase in salary, a big opportunity and, all things being equal, an established future. He sat down to the host’s table, ate like a pig at the trough and forfeited his chance at the job. His host was revolted at the sight of the young fellow’s table manners and remarked that he would be a liability rather than an asset to the firm, going out as a representative, looking like a gentle man and eating like a pig. That boy's mother cost him his opportunity. I Recently a woman who had the earmarks of gentility came into a restaurant. All eyes were upon her, for she was lovely to look at. Beautifully groomed, from her sleek black hair drawn tightly from her temples, exposing kitten ears, to the tapering fingers that finished zin polished, pale pink ovals. She talked on the tip of her lips, giving the impression of great fastidiousness. When she smiled a row of pearly teeth gleamed. Then an awful thing happened. The waiter !brought her luncheon and the vision was spoiled. She not only forked her butter, she forked her tonsils. When her pretty lips closed to rake off the load she carried to the “gin” there ‘was nothing in sight but a few inches of silver fork handle. She ipoked in bread, vegetables and meat as though she were feeding a food grinder and as though the more she packed in the better the grinder would work. All the while she continued to talk to her com panion, while his puzzled look indicated that the muffled sounds she emitted failed to make sense. One looked at her and wondered where she had got such vulgar manners—not in an institution, .for those in charge would have corrected her, not at a boarding house ifor she would have run off the other boarders and the land lady ‘would have called a halt. She had got them in her own mother's ‘home. She had learned to dress and groom herself in the pink of perfection after she left that home but her table manners were a habit so firmly fixed that she would keep them to the end of her days. They would cut her down and discount her wherever she went. It is not hard to understand how children slip into slovenly habits at the table without their mothers’ realizing what is happening. Mothers get so unutterably tired of correct ing all day. To get the little ones to eat what is set before them is the main objective, for there are just a few of them that will eat without being coaxed. If Mother sees the plate being cleaned up she is so gratified that she hardly notices the methods or the implements employed. If the milk is drunk she doesn’t notice whether it was poured into a mouth already full of food, gulped at one draught, or sipped like a liqueur. She is seeing beyond manners to muscle, flesh and blood and bone. Yet this doesn’t excuse her; this just explains her care lessness. Fathers and mothers can't do anything about the inheritance they hand down to their children. They can't always give them the sort of guidance and discipline that brings out the best in them. But any parents can set their children the example of good table manners and next to the good moral example this is the most important item in the account with the little ones. CAROLINE CHATFIELD.

They are not hargd to make.” She liked the sound of this and started making the pickles, The recipe read as follows: “Wash six quarts fairly large, ripe cucum bers. Slice but do not peel. Add one quart onions sliced, four large green peppers cut fine, Make a brine using one cup of salt to nine cups of water, Put the vegetables in this an let them stand over night, Drain, Mix six cups mild vinegar, six cups sugar one teaspoon each of white celery seed and of mustard seed.

Greta, as she grew, evidenced a strange power of making peoe« ple remember her and wonder what sort of elf-child she really was. School she detested, taking as her teachers wind and rain, storm clouds and the blow gray waves of the Baltic. Often while playing with her brother and sister she would become aloof, her sea-green eyes narrowed, the long lashes making shadows on her cheeks, “Hush! they would whisper, “She is ‘thinking’ again!”.... Uncle David took her for long trips into the country and Aunt Maja told delightfully weird tales of dwarves and of giant trolls whose foot steps were like thunder. Greta, según fué creciendo mostró un poder sobrenatural de ha cer que la gente que le tratara jamás se olvidara de ella. La peque Ñita detestaba a la escuela. Para sus profesores era ella una combi nación de todas las tempestades del Báltico.

E. McKENNEY Volumes have been written about the complicated plays of bridge. Writ ers have attempted to catalogue and classify them, so that students may recognize the plays when they arise, and execute them properly. This type of study is interesfing! and instructive. but it is ineffective unless supplemented with a good share of common sense No encyclo pedia of plays can be complete, and a player must constantly be prepared to reason out new situations which have not been encountered previous ly. Today's Hhand illustrates a very simple defensive play. which is not likely to be found in any classified list. West can defeat four hearts by proper defense, but a number of good players in that position failed to do so, because they did not study the possibilities thoroughly. e e West wins the first two spade tricks and South ruffs the third spade lead with a small heart. Declarer now leads the queen of hearts, which West refuses to win. A small heart is led towards dummy’s king. and West again ducks. From this point, declarer is help less. If he leads another heart, West will win with the ace, force out de clarer's last trump by a spade lead, and defeat the contract two tricks. Declarer’'s best course is to play clubs and diamonds until West ruffs, allowing him to make both the ace and seven of hearts which will defeat the contract by one trick. If West makes the mistake of win ning the first or second round of hearts, declarer will mzke his con tract easily for he can ruff the spade lead in dummy, (Copyright 1935, NEA Service, Inc.)

TAE uAREDO TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1985 BENEDICT ARNOLD WASN'T A TRAITOR TILL HIS OWN KIND TREATED HIM UNFAIRLY. Y ROBERT QUILLEN It requires unusual bigness of soul to be content as you are without making comparisons, Ordinary people wish to feel superior. They enjoy their advantages more by comparing them with the portion of less fortunate people, Their cake is made sweeter by the knowledge that other people must eat plain bread. In every community there is a minority of fortunate people vho feel superior because of their birth, education, wealth or righteousness. If they are tactful enough to invite no comparison, their advantage cause little bitterness, But some of them, vainer or less wise than the others, flaunt their superiority in a manner that makes comparison unavoid.sble.. They “rub it in.” And by so doing they cause much of life'’s unpleasantness. All forms of snobbishness are unlovely, but the kind that does the most harm is the holier-than-thou superciliousness of those made vain by their righteousness. They could, by example and understandng sympathy, help young peo ple to avoid wrong and develop decent pride in being clean. But they stand coldly and critically aloof from poor imperfect humans ,as though unconsciously trying to preserve the contrast that feeds their vanity. Their attitude seems to say: “Remain wicked, so that I can continue to feel superior.” Do you realize how completely one of these can ruin a sensitive boy? Say the boy works for one of them. He is a decent kid, but his char acter is yet unripened. He feels humble because he is poor, because he has little education, because his people are obscure, because he is young and green. Now make him feel morally inferior and his humility turns to bitter resentment. Suppose he breaks something of value and in sudden panic tells a lie to escape punishment., His sin is discovered and he is called before his righteous boss. The boss looks at him coldly, scornfully. He is called a liar and a sneak. He is too shamed and frightened to answer back, but he knows that he isn't getting a fair deal. He isn't really vile. The lie just slipped out because he was scared. He is being treated like a social outcast—a criminal, And the holier-than-thou contempt in the voice of his righteous poss tills him with helpless, sullen rage. Morbid brooding over such a hurt can make a decent youngster an enemy of all righteousness and a partizan of evil. He is made ‘“class con—l scious,” and his class is the one opposed to ‘“stuck-up” morality. THE EVENING “TORY T

Don't you like ‘em?” She stretched out the offending members and eyed .them with her pert head cocked on one side, “Well, if you really want to know —looks to me like you got ’em caught in a good, tigrt door.” “Wise guy! Before we get any deeper in this little argument I'd better tear up a sheet and we'll tie ourselves up.” And with this cutting reminder of other bitter quarrels and their black and blue aftermath she flounced out of the room, “A dollar—and me drivin' a truck al] day!

TO SAY that Virgie was the belle She praye dthat she had been captured in the hope of ransom, for then no great harm would befall her at the hands of the Arabs. But there was the chance, the horrid chance, that she would be taken far north and sold into the hideous existence of some Turkish harem. Jane Clayton had never bent in spine less terror before danger. Until hope proved futile she would not give it up. So long as Tar an lived there was every reason g, expect aid. Rogaba al cielo que su secuestro fuera sim plemente para exigir dinero por su rescate, pues de este modo los árabes no la inflingi rían daño alguno. Pero, se horrorizaba cada vez que pensaba en que habría de ser condu cida al norte y vendida a un acaudalado túrco para ser una de tantas esposas de harem, Era la primera vez que Jane sentía miedo ante el peligro. Pero, mientras viviera su Tarzán, siempre esperaba su salvación. —Y—m M M 0k —_——,_———,—,—— o L A E K r O ’g"{‘ Il! i g i I ,‘u‘! 5 D2Vl U e H i3 T i liess] 1 50 S i i i i S Y_OONW C niyre NEW YORK, Sept. 2—Diary: By post came Bill Hart's new western book touchingly inscribed.

Final Round Of Amateur Boxing Tournament Is Thursday FIRST TILT AT 4P.M.OTHER AT 9 NIGHT Nuevo Laredo’s strong La Junta “pall club, reputed to be the champ “jons of Mexico, will play host to the invading Nu Icy Bottlers in two games scheduled tolay, the first to be “this afternoon mat 4 o'cléck and the other at 9 o'clock night. Both games will be played at the La Junta park in Nuevo Laredo. The Aflstin team now counts with a strong club, having beat La Junta in their recent encounter in Austin last Thursday. Most of their former stars are now back on the team and with the addition of Morris Sands and Cotton Branum. two fancy field ing and hard hitting outfielders. the Bottlers will be fully prepared to giye La Junta a run for their money. Austin’s line-up will include the following players: Raymond ‘Potsy Allen will be be hind the plate doing all the receiving As pitchers they will have Tommy Fine, Norman Branch, Walter Beach, Graham “Lefty” Wright, and Dum my La Rue. Fine has a recotd of 21 fictories in 22 starts, Branch was a University of Texas ace, Beach won 16 games before losing one, Wright pitched the Bottlers to a victory over the University team and is a southpaw, while La Rue was for merly with the Wallace Engravers and pitched a winning game against La Junta in Nuevo Laredo recently. Any of the members of the hurling staff above will be ready to strut their stuff before the La Junta bat ters, Chester “Spot” Falk, John G. Munro or Otto “Swede” Lind will be on first base, Tony, “Poosh 'Em _Up” Burger will be on second, Mar -ty Karow. who was with Overton, “at shortstop, and Aubrey Graham on third base. In the outfield, Bob Janick will play centerfield, Larry Cox right, and either Lind or Munro in left field,, depending upon which one will be able to play first in case Falk is not able to get here. Both of these men have had a lot of experience on first base however, Lind playing for Temple and Dallas in the Texas league, and Munro being the re gular first sacker at the University of Texas in 1934, The time has come to put an md‘ to this hell-born business. 1 don't want my boy to die to enrich some body. —Senator Homer T.

By RAUL X. GONZALEZ Times Sport Editor Don't ever say I revealed the secret but it’s sacrilegous to labor on Labor Day. However, there’ll be some real honest to-gosh laboring with sweat and everything this afternoon when the La Junta batters exchange dirty looks with the Nu Icy Bottlers from Austin. Both teams are out for a victory s0 they’ll make work out of the old pastime. Meanwhile the fans will bake in the sunlight and swelter in the shade. Who :;ys there are no more martyrs? The sport world is full of em. The Bottlers are comnig prepared, to make it tough for La Junta, they have an o000 la la team that reeks with stars, but listen to what Weldon Hart, sport editor of the American- Statesman from Austin, has to di vulge on the subject. “Last March 23 the Nu Icy Bot tlers opened their '35 season here against Luling and got a good thump ing to the tune of 5-2. Evidently they didn't like it, for in the future and up to the present date they have avoided it as often as possible. “According to the officia] figures the Nu Icy had played 66 games through Friday night. August 30, had won 43 of them and lost 23 Vir tually all the losses were to tough teams—La Junta, Sabinas Brewers, University of Texas, Grand Prize of Houston, Brenham Sun Oilers, and other clubs ranking among the best in the state and out of it. “At that, the Bottlers have tackled only one club they have been unahle to defeat at least once—Brenham, which has captured three straight.. “Strong teams which the Bottlers have bumped in series include Over ton Humble Oilers, Texon Oilers, House of David, Refugio Firemen, Rainbow Bakers of Waco, Walace Engravers of Austin, Galveston Holly wood Club, and the Luling Red and Whits. They took two oit of three from an all-city team formed of the best talent in the Austn city league. “Nu Icy's trouble against the tougher teams has been lack of pitch- ers—they usually run out of depend able flingers before a series is over. Most of the summer there were only two regular pitchers on the squad. But for their Mexico trip, they have addel Norman (Red) Branch, Uni versity of Texas ace, and “Dummy’’ La Rue, former Deaf and Dumb insti tute star. Branch sost a 4-3 decision to La Junta at Nuevo Laredo re cenly, La Rue pitched the Wallace Engravers to a 43 victory over the same club at Nuevo Laredo a cou ple of weeks ago. Other pitchers are Walter Beach, who won 14 straight games before hedropped a ‘couple this season, Lefty Wright, and mmy Fine” So much for the Austin boy blues. La Junts wouldn't be the victim ol‘ THE LAREDO TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1935 naive optimism but there are other factors upon which it'll depend for a victory, They'll go out to first base, to second, and even to third but they'll always come back for the proverbial ‘Home Sweet Home,” and the necessary runs. At least that is the way manager FErasmo Flores hopes it'll come out. The Laredo ball club and Sam Mil ler's mountain music players are synonymous, A9nd by the way, we all fell for that one about Che Che Perez, East Dixie League star, being billed to “pitch definitely for Lare do.” 1 suppose we all like to be fooled some of the time but not to the point where it makes us look gullible. What is of importance is that 1 was fooled into putting it in print. Now people will begin to think I'm really a fool. After all I never fell for that one about “what's the difference between a building burn ing up and a buildiLg burning down.” o Peter Leyendecker's spacious white home with the tiled roof at Lincoln and Davis is surrounded by a grove of orange trees beneath which grow luxrient strips of grass, While he is out at the ball games, his horse.has a grand time prancing over it and taking nips at the tree leaves. I don't mean to say that the horse is starved for food, but the tableau presented was striking enough to be worth of mention, e s Interest is running high for the coming finals of the amateur boxing tournament. The fights for the dis trict championships ought to be good. Projects submitted to the PWA of fice include a swimming pool athle tic stadium, and polo field. Noth ing else could have gladdened the hearts of the local sportsmen. Right now the public is faced with the problem of going across the river for sportive events or doing without them. Greater attraction could be present ed with the above projects. o o Sport Diary- The softball league is getting started again this year.

Sept, 3—(#)— The 1'!‘ew interscholastic league has rul ed that no team may be forced to play a night bootball game in league competition, Roy B. Henderson, athletic direct or of the league, said games could be played at night if competing teams mutually agreed to do so. In the ab sence of a mutual atreement, how ever, he said “game must be played in the afternoon.” The increased scheduling of night sporting events necessitated the rule to control to some extent night games, Henderson said.

Locals Lose Twice To Pearsall Team In Ball Series By ROBE VALLE Showing out of practice and mak ing several errros, the newly re organized Laredo ball club lost 8-7 and 15-0 in its initial performance yesterday before the strong Pearsall Rangers, border champions who play ed a far superior brand of ball. In the morning affair, the locals took the lead and held it for a long time before they were caught up with and left behind With the score being 7-3 in favor of them, the Laredo players muffed their chance of win ning the game after the seventh in ning, Pearsall putting up a strong rally that netted them 5 runs for a winning margin of one. The final score was 8-7 in favor of Pearsall. A tight pinch came in the last in ning when the locals had chance to tie the score. However, Lefty Woods relieved Saddler at the box and re tired the inning with Pearsall still ahead- The afternoon game saw Laredo being massacred. Dovalina was out of practice and the Pearsall batters got 16 hits from him for a total of 15 runs. A decisive shutout score of 15-0 was the result.

The wealthy Ash-Orcutts, of Long Island, violently object to the mar riage of their manly son to the niece of a former cook at a railway con struction camp, solely on .account of the fact that the girl comes from the wrong side of the tracks and can boast of no “family connections.” But when the aunt inherits a for tune and returns from England mas querading under the fictitious title of “Lady Tubbs,” the obsequious Ash- Orcutts receive the supposed noble woman and her niece with open arms (and entertain them lavishly. Miss Brady, as the cook now turned lady, is still not satisfied, however, and with the aid of a contemptuous neigh bor succeeds in dragging from the closets of the luxurious Long Island mansion a pair of skeletons which the socialites had previously kept from each other.

McIntosh bowl, with the prelimiary bouts set to begin promptly at 8:30 night. The amateur fights here have been enjoying some popularity with en thusiastic crowds beng present at| each affair. With the finals coming up, a bigger crowd is expected as the fights will mark the crowning of the district champions who will go to‘ the regional at San Antonio. Winners will get their passage free with all expenses paid. Prospects for a regional winner in San Antonio are bright as the am ateurs here have displayed talemy in the ring that has surprised the pro fessionals. Each fighter has shired out in his own class, bringing out a style of de- livery that is all by itself. All weights have smoe talent scattered over them with great hopes being entertained for a winer at the regional. The flyweight class has one boxer who is especially outstanding. Fight ing with both hands, either of which carries a strong punch, Tereso Gnn-’ zalez, has shown that he rates far better than those with which he has been matched He has won all his fights by v.hc‘ ‘K. 0. route, seldom having to W’dlli till the third round.

Cassillas has a stabbing Jab.i while Duncan has a flooring punchi and boxes well. Duncan should come out ahead. The bantam weight class will have two which will be hard to decide upon. These are Frank Mendoza, and I. Romo. Both are holers appreciat- ing the fine arts of fisicuffs. The bout should be a good one. The rest of the fights have their points and will be interésting to{ watch, with attention being centered on the welter match between Lmsi Mendoza, C.M.T.C. runner up and Joe Alonzo.
