Mickey Erno and Bobby Mars in one of the shots and Ray Mclntyre and Jack Mande! in the other shot. A toss of a coin will decide -which one of these scraps will wind up the show. All four of these boys are willing workers, good punchers and carry a following. it appears that the El Rio stadium is again to be the scene of a big gathering of ring devotees.

Erno needs no introduction to El Rio Tans as he is the best crowd pleascr that ever appeared at this popular arena, Bobby Mare the Filipino Typhoon, has beaten Ernie Wood. Johnny God Inez and others since his last trip here. Ray Mclntyre asked for another shot 'at Mandcl. He claims he was not In the best, of shape at their last meeting nnd that he was unable to display his best ring work. Mclntyre is a hard hitler and always has a chance against a clever hoy like this Mande' chap.

This project -Involved purchasing the land and the payment of the damages to all improvements, also the paving of a portion of the two streets together with laying; sidewalks, curbs. moving and csaduits. fire -hydrants, terephone and poles.
