As a matter of fact, Sada licked Torreoji all over the ring, and by* actual count won five of the six rounds of the JJgJjt* M Wgs .only because in the final rounds of the scrap that Torreon got in a few of h*s luCky, unscientific blows that seemed to please the crowd,SADA CLEVERER This fight between those two 3 18 pounders did not come up to all expectations. They sparred too much, and both were too careful to make the fight interesting to the blood-thirsty fans. Sada was easily the cleverer of the two, showing real ring knowledge, while Torreon fought blindly and would rush in slugging, hoping to Mind a lucky dream blow. The fight had is I a brilliant finish with both fighters h slugging furiously at oaeh others hoad for a knockout..Toe Montana, Mexico City,*knocked out John Hernandez, of Brownsville, in the second \ round of a scheduled six round go. He put the Mpride of the Valley to the canvass for the count of ten with a, left hook to the floating ribs wliich Hernandez claimed was foul, but which was clearly a fair punch. Hernandez had led the fight in the open‘ng round, anti had dazed his opponent several times, who was fighting cautiously for a knockout. Hernandez had gone down for a 9 count in the round previous to the winning one. MILLER PUNCHES GUERRERO Knockout Miller of Ft. McIntosh was the goat of the decisions in the semi-final round with Pedro Guerrero of Tampico. Outweighed 10 to 35 pounds, the plucky young soldier put up a game but , unscientific fight that, lookod more like a draw than anything during the evening. IfHhe decision of the judges in this fight was right, it* was because Guerrero got in, more short jabs during the clinches than Miller, but ,Miller clearly gavo him •the torture , in the open. The heavy, telling blows of that fight were landed by Miller, and not by Guerrero. Guerrero got the decision, possibly because he could take the punishment, and bodause he showed himself a boxor, while Miller exhibited only'the traits of a fighter. . The decision was booed strongly and Joudly by tho fans in the bowl, 'But it was the feature bout• * • . ,where the decision looked bad. In that fight,.

FoeBy GORDON SMKDLEYLast night at Hie Fort Mclntqsh bowl, there occurred an, event that was a pleasing surpriso to some funs, and a. heartablVC to others. Carlos Garcia mat his Waterloo. Bill Padraza from* Ilous-ton way brought out filsheavyartillery, and with tenaqjop^ de-termindness, proceeded to give Garcia not only a boxig lesson but knocked him completely off hit feet on three different occasions.This fight is epochal Jjia^much us It caused more dlscussimi; ncai fist fights amongst \ officials, anti many disagreements as to the decision. One of lho jifages \vju forced to obtain a bodyguard tto escort hjni home to his,, yii^ubers, and evidently from reports hV did not sleep so well.GROUP Ul.SCUHK IT In tho byways and highways ol our fair city groups could be found discussing the fight. One gnjup was for Gurchi, another for Pjt-draza. My co-worker and * great friend Feg AUuMuiTay,editor, ol our illtistrious medium thought Garcia won and has so written hb column which appears^, alongside this.' 1 thought Padraza won, We are all ^jititled to our opinions.• That is what makes sports so popular, 1 was sitting alongside of Feg, and I am rather surprised to find that ho was either sleepy or his eyesight was poor last night.PADRAZA QUICK 'Now for the fight, ft took Pn-draza about two minutes in the first round to make Garcia realise that he was at hist up against a real fighter, in the past G arc in has been able,to land, with pptent ease, pructlcully every blow ho delivered. Last night was very different. Padraza hardly moved out of his tracks and time and again ducked so cleverly that all .Qurliu could do was fan the air like some of our noted baseball pluybHP.lmve been wont to do in the pinch. CARLOS WANTED TO ’iJTT Carlos wunted to hit so bad lie could, taste it, so to speak, but Padraza just wouldn't have It that way.Out of «... clear sky in a round or so later came a knockdown.
