MEYERS AND ALTAMIRANO IN MAIN EVENT HERE TONIGHT
ROCHE TAKES
ON WHITESIDE
Cochrane, Wild Marine, In
Opener With New
Wrestler
Marcelo Alt&mirano, tall youth
from the land of fair ladies. Sin
Luis Potosi, will have plenty of
work ahead of him when he climbs
over the ropes at the V.F.W. arena
Wednesday night to meet Lee Mey
ers In the main. The rugged youth,
who has been out of wrestling for
a while, is meeting one of the
toughest opponents of his career in
Meyers.
This husky schnozzle buster has
been doing his stuff in the Har
lingen ring and fans \here express
the belief that he will prove 100
much for the San Luis product.
However, Mgyers sticks to wrestling,
if the other fellow will let him.
That proposition will more than
likely draw a hearty second from
Marcelo.
The tall youth, who has strength
and agility galore, Is a much im
proved wrestler over the green
youth who came out of Mexico not
so long ago. He has Improved his
technique and has added the color
and showmanship necessary to suc
cessful grunting as she is grunted
today.
There Is a strong possibility that
the semi-final will take the spot
light away from the main go. Dorve
Roche, the wild Illinois miner who
defeated Geo. Cochrane here last
week, is matched against Calvin
Whiteside. University of Oklahoma
product. This Is certain to be a
rough affair.
The opener pits George Coch
rane against Jack Thompson.

Who remembers that all-time
high for hilarious fights reached
here when Homer Goodman fought
“Kid Foy’’ in the Ft. Brown arena.
That fight furnished Brownsville
with the heartiest belly-laugh it
had in years.
Kid Foy skipped, pranced and
flourished his dukes with great
gusto. In fact, he did everything
but fight. He proved himself an
accomplished acrobat, a clever con
tortionist and a great fellow on the
bicycle of retreat. It took Good
man three rounds to catch him and
lay him low with a single blow'.
The old don has been wrondering
if Kid Foy isn't in our midsts to
day; if he couldn’t have been the
Texas Kid. w'restler now making
his home at Harlingen.
The Kid says his name is Foy,
and that “Prof. Brumley" taught
him the pugilistic arts at Sweet
water high school.
Jack Burns, may the Lord rest his
bones, was fighting here at the
time of the Goodman-Foy comedy.
Jack, wrorthy fellow that he wras.
had a penchant for high sounding
names and titles. One of them was
“Prof. Brumley.”
♦ * •
The state labor commissioner,
who will have theoretical control of
boxing and wrestling, furnishes the
heartiest carcajada of the season.
He is going to clean up the ac
tivities of the tin-ears and muscle
heads. Yes sir, just like (business
of snapping fingers) that.
Lloyd's has not furnished the of
ficial odds yet. but the commission
er has about as much chance as a
Royalist in Russia; or a Chink con
cession in Manchuria. Should,
however, he accomplish the mira
cle. he will konk the tug and groan
industry deader (if there be vary
ing degrees of death) than the pro
verbial door handle.
Public demand made wrestling
what it is today, and public de
mand wTill keep it pretty much as

er Vic Frasier.
| is, commissioner notwithstanding.
Peter J. Public wanted color and
showmanship, and. he got it with a
1 vengeance. Take these elements
away from the haach-aoopff! boys
and you will have very little left
for the kale contributing customer.
The plain, garden variety of
wrestling, sans the villain-Galahad
motif, lacks color and action. To
a spectator who does not know the
finer points of the game, poor but
honest wrestling has all the con
centrated fire and excitement of a
i life and death struggle between a
pair of pacific bivalves. The aver
age person who attends the shows
in the grunt foundaries does not
know a flying mare from a bar in
chancery, but he does understand
and appreciate vociferous threats,
belligerent bellows, wild haymakers,
bloody noses and kayoed referees.
Everyone enjoys a good brawl—
from a safe point of vantage.
• • •
Honesty to Burn. But—
The commissioner without doubt
is honest and sincere in his state
ment, but that evidently is not
j enough, judging from history of
: pugilism.
Take, for instance, the case of
i William Muldoon—the “Old Ro
' man" they called him—who died
: recently at the ripe old age of 88.
i From the time he was a drummer
boy in the civil war up through the
time he was champion wrestler,
trainer of John L. Sullivan and
head of the New York Boxing
commission, his undying war upon
the cheap crooks and chislers on
the shady fring of pugilism was
famed throughout the land. He
took an inordinate amount of pride
in his endeavors along this line.
But crookedness saw its heyday
in New York rings right under the
Old Roman's very nose. And he
had power to burn in all things
pugilistic.
Of course there was a reason—
the old man’s vanity. He was kind
ly disposed toward anyone who ap
proached him in hushed awe, feign
ed or otherwise. And that left the
backdoor wide open for the boys
with shady propositions.

a pair of victories over the San
Antonio Black Missions, the local
Rifles will renew their old grudge
rivalry with the San Benito Box

elements cheated them out of a
victory in their last start against
the 30-30's. Darkness forced the
game to be called after the clubs
had battled for an even dozen
frames with the count knotted.
Last Sunday the Rifles whipped
the Black Missions of the Alamo ,
City 12-8 and 13-3. Cannon, star i
hitter of the locals, lashed out a
home run in the first contest.

Carey May Quit A*
Garden President
NEW YORK. June 14. (^—De
spite lack of official confirmation,
there were strong indications today
that William P. Carey soon will re
sign as president of Madison Square
Garden, perhaps immediately after
the heavyweight championship bout
between Jack Sharkey and Primo
Camera.
Reports that Carey would quit on
June 30, the day after the fight,
brought neither confirmation nor
denial from the man who has head
ed the Garden’s affairs since the
death of Tex Rickard in 1929. These
reports had It that he would be
succeeded bv Brigadier General
John Reed Kilpatrick, former Yale
athlete, who now is a Garden vice
president.
The very fact that Carey refused
to deny the rumors led to the be
lief that some change in the Gar
den s officialdom was pending.
