A bashing one-two, culminating
with a jolting right over Jack Doss’
heart, gave “Wild Bill” Cabler,
Cameron county traffic officer, a
three-round knockout victory here
Thursday night in the main event
cf the card at the Vet Arena which
brought legalized boxing back to the
Valley. A near capacity gathering
of boxing fans, estimated at 2,
500 greeted the return of the fight
game with no uncertain terms of
welcome.
Cabler encountered little diffi
culty in shooting straight jolting
punches inside of Doss’ wide swish
ing swings, and meanwhile the Aus
tin middleweight had trouble solv
ing Cabler’s hands-up defense.
Shortly before the end of the initial
• round the Brownsville fighter drop
^ped Doss and he took nine, although
not badly stung.
Knockdowns Aplenty
Cabler, evidently in poor condi
tion, slipped and fell at the open
ing of the second stanza and took
seven counts in order to recuperate
from a wild toe-to-toe swinging
bee. Before the round was over the
Brownsville battler cocked Doss back
with a one-two to the head, send
ing him to the mat for a count of
nine.
The third canto had hardly begun
before Cabler dropped the Austin
slugger, who appeared very much
under the weather, for six counts
with a stiff uppercut. Doss scram
bled up and waded into Cabler with
his guard pulled extremely high.
The former grid star went under
the. high lifted left elbow with a
one-two to the body which ended
the bout. It was several minutes be
fore Doss was able to negotiate the
distance between the ring and the
dressing room.
“Gorilla” Morales, well-condition
ed Laredo bantam, made a hit with
the fans in decisioning Charley Del
gado, Brownsville, in the six round
semi-final. Delgado proved him
self a game-cock and a good ring
general in weathering Morales’
3d*hering attack for six rounds. The
LaSredoan appeared to have too
much stamina and experience for
the Brownsville youngster who holds
the T. N. A. A. bantam champion
ship. Featuring a rushing attack
with a swishing left, Morales took at
least five of the six rounds and
never appeared hurt by Delgado’s
best punches.
Delgado Earns Cheers
Floored for nine counts in the
second, third. fourth and fifth
rounds, Delgado earned the plaudits
of the gathering by getting off the
floor on each occasion and weath- ;
ering Morales’ best shots. Shiftv
footwork on Delgado’s part made
the Laredoan’s left go wild on many
occasions. Morales was overly anx
ious to score a kayo over the home

MACK'S FIND
f ■ - -n
Connie Mack is all smiles
these days over a hill-billy
rookie hurler from Eminence,
Ky. He is Johnny Marcum,
above, a right-hander who, in
the first two games he pitched
late this year, allowed only five
hits in each. “He’s here to
stay,” Mack says of him—which
is quite a statement for Connie.
town boy and drew' several warn
ings from Referee Doc Osborn for
overtime punching in the clinches.
K. O. Brown of Luling failed to
appear for his scheduled six round
er with “Soldier Jack” Burns.
Johnny Russo of Ft. Browm who
substituted succumbed to a quick
t. k. o. in the initial stanza. The
referee stopped the bout when it
became plainly apparent that Russo
was no match for the post’s cham
pion light heavyweight.
Beto Avalos, Brownsville welter
who used to fight on the cards at
Mercedes and Ft. Brown, hit Emilio
Zavala of Brownsville with every
thing in his collection of punches
but failed to make much of an im
pression on that solid punching
block. Avalos won every one of the
six rounds, but he appeared more
tired than Zavala when the final
bell clanged. This was six rounds of
punching sans the fancy frills, and
the fans cheered the exhibition lus
tily.
Bantams Steal Show
Perhaps the best fight on the card
was the opener in which Bat An
cira. Monterrey bantam, knocked
out Kid Tello, Laredo, in the fifth
stanza. Both of these boys were well
conditioned, they knew their jabs,
hooks and crosses, and they mix
ed w'illingly with all they had.
The barrel-chested little Ancira
had stamina to burn and he appear
ed stronger than his opponent. He
used a chopping right and an upper
cut with telling effect. However, he
ran into a lot of left hand leather
in trying to break through Tellc’s
guard. Ancira scored an eight-count
knockdown in the fourth, and nick
ed Tello again in the fifth with an
uppercut which wras good for nine
tallies. Shortly afterward a left to
the jaw', followed by a right over
the heart ended the hostilities.

Shoes laced too tight will make

A belt drawn tightly about the

A shirt, sweater or jacket of

New York Giants to Play
Washington In Big
Series
(By Associated Press)
The last lingering doubt has been
moved and it’s Jose Cronin and
his mighty men of Washington
against Bill Terry and his hustling
New York Giants in the 1933 World
Series.
The Senators, long regarded as a
“sure thing” to capture the Amer
ican league flag, reached the point
where they can’t be beaten by de
feating the last-place St. Louis
Browns 2 to 1 yesterday in a close
game.
Washington has six more games
to play and the second place New
York Yankees eight, but even if
the Senators lose them all and the
Yanks chalk up an unbroken string
of victories the final standing will
show Washington with 97 victories
and 55 defeats, the Yanks with 95
won and 55 lost.
The one remaining game saw
the sudden and complete downfall
of Johnny Marcum, the rookie
pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics
who startled the American league
by starting out with two straight
shutouts, and a 10-3 triumph for
the Detroit Tigers over the A’s in
their final clash.
Given a two-run lead in the
first inning by Jimmie Foxx’s 47th
home run of the year, Marcum
“blew” in the third and seven hits
and a Philadelphia error gave the
Tigers six runs.

With Hal Eustace \
Some 35 years ago, a leather- ,
lunged, barrel-chested son was born i
to a husky Irish contractor and his
good wife in upper New York state.
Before the young addition to the
family was able to investigate the
mysterious realm which existed be
yond the doorsill, the doughty father
saw opportunity beckoning from far
off British Columbia.
So the contracting equipment was
packed, and the family traveled to
Vancouver aboard jerky, clanking
trains which crawled across the con
tinent. Construction was booming
in the Pacific northwest, and the
family thrived in its new surround
ings.
As soon as Ernest—that was the
name his mother insisted upon—
was old enough, the contractor
knotted a pair of oversize boxing
gloves to the boy’s hands and pitted
him against his playmates and
brothers. Their backyard, in which
played Jimmy (“Baby Face”) Mc
Lamin and Vic Foley among oth
ers, was the scene of athletic jousts
every evening. In the contractor’s
scheme of things a man had to be
fast with his fists, and he was see
ing to it that his boys obtained prop
er training.
Ernest was a willing student of
the fistic arts and at the ripe age
of 13 he won the amateur flyweight
championship of British Columbia.
Trouble in School
The little irlsher was not what
might be termed a model scholar,
being given to brawling with the
toughies t ho attempted to invade
the precincts of Seymore school. Aft
er a series of boyish pranks, Er
nest and another youngster were
summoned to the headmaster’s of
fice. The Irish youth sat in the nail
listening to the yelps of anguish as
the headmaster birched his co
partner in scholastic crime. The
yelps were too blood-curdling, so
little Ernest, now 15, fled.
-He ran uptown and found the
citizenry wildly cheering a newly
recruited group of soldiers. There
was an idea—he’d join the army,
that’s what he’d do. But what about
his age?
After much argument and a bribe
of several dollars, Ernest got a
drunk enlistment sergeant to put
his name on the Dominion's roll of
fighting men as a “bugler.” Now the
boy didn’t know one note from an
other, but the army made allow
ance for small sized “buglers.”
The medico who examined the
stripling promptly challenged him
on his size. Thinking of future
“loans,” the sergeant rushed to Er
nest’s rescue. “But we’ve got to h$ve
him doctor; he’s the best bugler in
British Columbia.”
So Ernest was in the Canadian
army, but imagine his embarass
ment the next morning when they
handed him a bugle and command
ed him to do his stuff. But he was
in the army for keeps, and out of
the headmaster’s clutches.
In the Big Fight
The outfit soon moved to eastern
Canada, then to England and final
ly to the Big Front in France. The
Canadians swmng into action along
the Mons. in the retreat from
Mons, Ernest was knocked incon
scious by the butt of a German
rifle in hand to hand fighting. He
might have died there if another
fighting Irishman had not beaten
off the Germans and carried him
to safety. “Gee,” said the young

Irishman, “thc*e Heinies were as
thick as sardines.”
Several battles later, the Ameri
can-Canadian was wounded at Vlmy
after pushing through with his out
fit to the third line of German
trenches. He was booked to
“blightly” with a piece of shrap
nel in his left side and a bayonet
wound in the foot. While recove
ring in an English hospital he saw
the first American troops to reach
the European turmoil.
Shortly thereafter he was as
signed to the American forces in
England as a bayonet instructor and
athletic director. Boxing shows were
plentiful and Ernest never missed
an opportunity to improve his fistic
talents.
Title Fight in Australia
By the end of the war he was a
full fl • ed middleweight and a
good one. He returned to the U. S.
with his outfit and immediately left
for Australia where the boxers were
reaping fortunes. The Irishman re
mained there for a year and seven
months, winding up his campaign
by fighting Tom King for the Aus
tralian middleweight title. He lost
a close decision, but got $23,000 for
his share of the purse. A couple of
days at the race track ruined the
bank roll, and the Irishman re
turned to the United States.
Then came a hundred or more
fights all over this country, includ
ing such opponents as Harry Dillion,
Nig Yeager, Garfield Johnson,
Young Peter Jackson, Bob Muriels,
Geo. Courtney. Prank Farmer, Sail
or Lewis, Phil Bayes, K. O. Brown,
Tiger Flowers and Joe Jeanette.
Old injuries from an automobile
accident finally forced him to give
up fighting, so he attempted wres
tling at Dallas, in his first bout he
became incensed at his opponent
and knocked him out, taking to the
tall timber as the cops scrambled
for the ring billies in hand. But the
fans liked it. So Ernest adopted that
as his style of “wrestling” and soon
was a headline attraction in Dallas,
San Antonio and Austin. After a few
swings around the metropolitan
wrestling circuits Ernest blossomed
out as a promoter in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley. He’s been at it
ever since.
That’s a little of Ernie Stephens’
background history—he refuses to
tell the rest.

FAST FIGHTS
AT HARLINGEN
Wymore to Try Comeback
Against Martinez
Friday
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN, Sept. 22.—As ag
gressive as ever and confident he is
in igood condition, Dick Wymore,
veteran Valley lightweight, will hit
the comeback trail here Friday
night in the main event of the
boxing card at the Legion Sports
Arena. His opponent will be Mike
Martinez, up-and-coming battler
who has been deploying in San An
tonio, Houston and New Orleans
rings with a marked degree of suc
cess.
Wymoer needs no introduction to
old-head Valley fight fans, for sev
eral years ago he scrapped all up
and down the line between Browns
ville and Reynosa. He was probably
the Valley's outstanding scrapper
after Johnny Hughes brutally slash
ed Kid Ewing of Mercedes to pieces
in the old Ft. Brown skating rink.
Dick beat most of them, gave all of
them a whale of a battle and the
fans never failed to get iheir
money’s worth when he went into
action. His success in the Valley
ended when Battling Shaw, then
fighting out of Mercedes, became
the king bee of South Texas light
weights.
Other Veterans
Wymore has been training hard
and feels confident that he is in
top condition. An old eye cut, which
used to bother him considerably,
has had years in which to harden.
He and Martinez are booked for 10
stanzas, or less.
The eight-round semi-windup pits
“Gallo” Guerra of San Benito
against Juan Omar, Matamoros
choping block. Guerra was a favor
ite in Ft. Brown and Mercedes rings
until he ran into one barrel-chest
ed Kid Monterrey
The six-rounder brings together
Kid Blackie of San Benito and
Frankie Trevino of Matamoros. Tre
vinio is another holdover from the
heydey of four years ago
Two football stars, Jack West of
Harlingen and Jimmie Pace of San
Benito, are billed in a tour rounder.
The card gets under way at 8:30
