FIGHT TO BE
A ‘NATURAL’
Clever Fighter* Expected
To Draw a $200,000
Gate At N. Y.
NEW YORK. Aug. 29.—II
i anything is lacking to make to
night’s battle at the Polo grounds
between Kid Chocolate of Cuba and
A1 Singer of the Bronx a great gate
attraction, the fans have not found
it. With the promise before ‘hem
’ of two natural fighters meeting in
the year's "natural” of fights, they
have been wasting no time in get
ting to the l*x offices for seats.
Early estimates were that about
&O.OCO would pay $200,000 for the
privilege of witnessing the battle
\ between the clever Cuban and the
i New York slugger.
Each has a large local following.
, and their backers have been argu
ing for months as to their respec
* live fighting abilities. Added to
this was the question of weight.
The contract for the scrap calls for
* them to make 130 pounds when they
* weigh in at the Polo grounds this
after noon, but an unofficial agree
ment limits Singer to 128 3-4
pounds with a good sized forfeit
hanging on that poundage.
The streak of black lightning
from Cuba Is not expected to weigh
more than 124 pounds while Singer
returned from his training camp
under the limit set.
The battle Is scheduled to go 12
rounds, starting at 10 p. m., eastern
daylight time.

There was a glum-faced athlete
at Tucker field Wednesday after
noon. He was Jack Allen. The
lineman had just been told that he
would have to undergo an operation
for appendicitis. Jack watched the
practice with longing eyes, knowing
that it might be the last one he
would see for some time.
• • •
He played on the Eagle squad year
before last and spent last season in
North Texas. He returned this sea
son and had high hopes of making
the eleven. Jack would doubtless
have made the traveling squad.
• • •
Friends found him disinclined to
talk Wednesday. They made efforts
to cheer him up, but Jack couldn't
see it that way. He thought he
would be out for the remainder of
the season. It was a hard blow for
Jack.
• • •
The Eagle squad continued its
practice in scanty attire. The line
men were drilled by "Soc” Rato
and the backs were worked on by
Coaches Fessenden and Surtees. The
boys are getting a bit strenuous in
their warming up sessions, despite
the fact that the season is quite a
wav off. They are playkag touch
ball with vigor and are putting a
bit of exertion into their efforts.
• • •
One form of practice used was to
send two men down the field under
punts to cover the safety man.
"Boy” Newman did the receiving
and often eluded the two onrushlne
players with a deft side-step and
fast get-away. Newman is looking
even better than last year. He is
seared a golden brown from being
outdoors during the summer and an
nears to have put on several pounds
The added weight has not slowed
him down. On the contrary he Is
said to be 2-5 of a second faster
on the 100-yard dash
• • •
Davent>ort was sticking a vigornu®
boot into the ball. He spiralled
them down the field for fair distance
with accuracy. He mav enter a
three cornered fight for kicking
honors on the sauad. “Tin'' Samar.o
and "Big Dan” Barnhart appear to be
the most likely candidates at pres
ent. Samp no probablv gets th® most
distance through sK®er blasting
power. “Tio” is not ab’® to control
his punts as veil as Barnhart or
Davenport.
• • •
John tT^echet Sylvester, let It he
known Wednesday that he would
have to be considered wh®n the mb*
iect of a nlace kicker came tm. The

EAGLE GRID PLAYER OUT
FOR APPENDIX OPERATION
TEXANS IN THE
BIG LEAGUES
EACH DAY
■' ' ■ ..—.- .. i
The Brownsville Eagles were belt
ed below the craw Wednesday by
the announcement that Jack Allen,
member of the team two years ago,
would have to undergo an operation
for appendicitis. Allen was a fair
performer and he would have at
least made the traveling squad. 11
not first string. Allen returned here
after a season in North Texas and
was preparing to begin training
when the defective appendix was
discovered.
Allen was especially welcome ma
terial as he was a linesman and
there are two holes in the Eagle
forward wall to be plugged up. He
was of the opinion that he would
be out for the remainder of the
season. Allen was awaiting word
from his mother Wednesday as he
watched the practice from the side
lines. It is probable that he will
be operated upon today.
Lots of Hustle
The squad hustled around in good
style yesterday keeping up their
high spirits and vim. The husky
athletes are continuing tc work out
in trunks. "Most of them have be
come thoroughly coated with tan
and they appear in good condition
surrounded by friends who piled
him with questions. Goodrich was
confined to the hospital in San
An *nio for some time. He return
ed nome recently, and believes he
will be in tip-top shape soon.
* • •
A fight looks inevitable now, with
Roberto H.ljosa of Brownsville and
Sully Montgomery of Fort Worth
lined up to do a little cocking on
the afternoon of Labor day at Rey
nosa. Hinojosa has gone to Point
Isabel to do his training with Ralph
Leach, former Valley football star.
• • •
Hinojosa will get the chance to
come through in this fight. He has
been going like a house afire since
he began brawling about a year ago.
Roberto has slapped almdst all of
opponents to sleep in the early
rounds. Only one fiaht do we re
member in which he failed to do so.
That was his first joust with Ralph
Leach. Later he put the K. O. on
the Point Isabel husky.
* • •
But Hinojosa's opponents were
not well known in this section. Ro
berto made them look sick. Mont
gomery is known. Sully is one of
the recognized trial horses in Texas.
He’s crafty and mull of r^ng ex
opnenc". Against this ***nrmg.
Hinojosa will match the vitality,
strength and roum** of youth.
• • •
Several of the prelims on the card
look good good to us. Kid Gilbert
of Laredo is programmed to d*
things to Brooks Hoooer of San
Antonio for 10 rounds in the semi
final. Hooner is no stranger to the
Valiev. Billy Podrazo beat him bad
ly at Mercedes—but now. Podrazo
could pitch with the best of th*m
in the ring today. We sav “could”
because Podrazo died a short time
after his fight with Hooper.
• • •
Another bout that should please
the fans, is the one between Tony
Torres of Brownsville and Kid Guer
ra of San Benito. Guerra got hot
and tronnopd evervthmg in sight in
the Valiev for awV’e Then cam*
the beetle-browed Kid Monterrey.
Guerra has never been the same
since. Tom* thinks the time Is rine
and he w\l1 trv to knock the San
Benito rooster from his perch.
-i
even at this early stage of the sea
son.
A number of them spent the sum
mer in training camps and outdoor
recreational centers. Several in
cluding John Sylvester, attended
the C. M. T. C. camp in San An
tonio. Others were at the Kerrville
camp with Coach Raymond Plato.
Sylvester, generally rated one of the
best ends in the Valley last year,
has taken on considerable weight.
He now tips the seam around 171
pounds.
30 Working Out
Approximately 30 boys are work
ing out in t^e two-a-day practice
sessions being held on Tucker field.
The boys are continuing to drift in
and there will easily be 50 out at
the opening of the season.
The coaches are bearing down on
the new material. Fessenden states
that he sees the making of a good
eleven for next season in the young
sters.

HINOJOSA MONTGOMERY BOUT
HEADLINES LABOR DAY CARD
"Ladies and gentlemen, in this
corner Sully Montgomery, Fort
Worth, weight 195 pounds, former
Centre college football star and all
around athlete. In the opposite
comer, Robert Hinojosa. Browns
ville, weight 195 pounds."
That is the main event of ten
rounds or less to be held in the
Reynosa bull ring next Monday
(Labor Day) at 4 p. m.
A glance at the records of these
two exponents of the manly art of
scrambling ears, gives Montgomery
a wide edge. He is a veteran of the
ring and his fighting career has
seen him in battles with leaders of
the heavyweight division. A few
weeks before the famous Strlbling
Sharkey brawl in Miami he took on
Young Stribling and although he
was stopped by the Georgian, he
gave an excellent account of him
self. In fact. Montgomery has tan
gled with ’em all. He has glared
across the ring at Sharkey. Ma
honey, Renault. Ralph Smith. Babe
Hunt and many others numbering
the best in the heavy racket.
Hinojosa, former Brownsville high
school boy, while lacking the record
of his seasoned opponent, is a game
youngster. He has had a few
fights in the Valley and on every
Instance has given an excellent ac
count of himself. No one denies he
can punch and he has the ability to
take it. His opponents 60 far have
been unknown but often they are
plenty tough and Bob stopped them
in Just a few rounds. However, the
Brownsville battler can be depend
ed upon to be In excellent shape
and his youth and ambition mav
earn him a win from the cagey vet
eran.
