sLaredo Times, Laredo, Texas, Thursday, July 3, 1930Shaw and Garcia W ill InaugurateBy LOUIS ANDERSENWILMER ALUSON IM THEPICTURESFLOWERS for Wilmer Allison,youthful American Davis cup tennis player. Picturize him everywhere and first-page him wherever athletes and athletics and the fans of the world love to throw bouquets at a youthful winner.At Wimbledon in old England the Texan “sprang a sensational upset by eliminating Henri Cochet, world’s tennis champion, in straight sets in the quarter finals of the British championship. Allison won at 6-4, 6-4, 6-3,”According to the cabled news of the event “Allison's victory came like a bolt from the blue, It is the first time Cochet had been beaten by an American since 1927 when Bill Til-den defeated him in the Davis challenge round and John Hennessey stopped him in the national championship at Forest Hills.”Yes, flowers for the living. The American hands this bunch of Texas roses, daisies and zinnias to the Texas player who put the kibosh on the idol of France at Wimbledon, in thetight little isle.Texas first in everything. Texas with a population of 12,009,000 in 19401 Shut out the pigmies in all fields of endeavor, and give the old state a chance to grow, and its sons and daughters an opportunity to represent in foreign lands, as well as here at home, the empire commonwealth of America.Battling Shaw And Carlos'Garcia Meet AgainJACK SHARKEY the Boston Sailoris not satisfied with letting Max Schmeling keep the heavyweight title and yesterday he signed on the dotted line for another fight with the German to take place in the Yankee stadium on September 25.And this time Mr. Schmeling will not be able to win on a foul because the New York boxing commission has taken care of that when they made a rule several days ago that boxers fighting in the state of New York had to take care of themselves.Now that New York has this ruleand the Sharkey-Schmeling fight will take place Ihere, what will the German do? The answer is easy he will get whipped all over the ring.The fight is scheduled to go 15rounds, but it will do well to go tenrounds. There will no doubt be aknockout and Mr. Sharkey is goingto do the knocking,+ » •AND again the Masked Marvel winsanother match here with his famous arm stretcher holds.Last night at Fort McIntosh he beatChief War Eagle, an Indian, in thelast two falls of their match in shortorder.

Heap Big Chief had won the first fall with a leg hold. All of this, fair customers, was at the American Legion wrestling matches at Fort McIntosh.Oh yes, the preliminary match? That was terrible. One average clever boy plus one ham equals one rotten match. ,Poncho Vitela, who now calls Laredo his home for reasons peculiar to the promoter, ahd who has won every start here this season, won from Hal Scott on a fall in the deciding round.Vitela was not the ham.9! * ' ’ 1 ’ ' able to lie ‘“dazed” for several minutes, in order to make himself a hero when he returned to win the second fall.The fans were certain that Mr. Scott had read of a gentleman called Gustavo Sonnenberg, because he too, had learned to butt his opponent.In the last round, however, Mr. Scott forgot that he was. wrestling, thought he was boxing, slugged Mr. Vitela in the eye.

He jammed Mr. Vitela to the mat with such force that Mr. Vitela wasAh, there is where your going to be disappointed. Louis Andersen, the sport editor, decided to go out with the ladies, so he assigned a cub reporter to write this story. And the cub, seeing through Mr. MaskedMarvel's unpopular antics which he merely goes through to make the fans spend their money to see him beaten, which he never is, thought the Masked Marvel was a pretty good boy. • iWell he is. He’s some sort ' ofchampeen!He scowled, played the ropes, climbed out of the ring, but as usual, he won, Tiburcio.He lost the first fall, and the fans got hot The chief applied m leg stretch.But the chief couldn’t keep his hands to himself, so the last two falls were rather short. Just an armstretch after an arm stretch and thescrap was over.Mr. William Morgan, the golden voiced business manager, told the ladies and gentlemen, that beginning next week, all matches will be staged on Monday.
