He is so-called because his first name is pronounced as if spell- ed “fiddle “The Ch Sardinias, cloate Soldier” is Eligio ‘uban Negro who fights under the name of Kid Chocolate. The winner might have been recognized us world’s bantamweight champion by the New York State Athletic commission hut for the fact that they will not make the division- al weight limit of 118 pounds. la Barba will weigh just under 122, with Chocolate perhaps half a pound lighter. l.a Barba is the beting favorite at odds of 8 to 5. Fighting his way from-a prelim- inary hcy at $5 per fight to one of the three higgest attractions in New York fight circl Chocolate has never lost a fight. He was knocked down and almost out by Joe Scal- faro, who has since been K. 0.d by Vidal Gregorio of Spain, but he got up to carn a draw. Chocolate has three inches of height and two inches in reach on La Barba, but the olive-skinned Cali- fornian has ring wisdom on Choco- late that can't be mcasured in inches la Barba atarted fighting when he was in high school and won the Olympic flyweight title in Paris in 1924 when he was only 19. A year later he won the flyweight title from Frankie Genaro and in 1927 clinched his claim to the world's champion- ship by defeating Klky Clark, the European champion, in a 12-round bout at Madison Square Garden. The little Ttalian’ then retired from the ring to enter Stanford Uni- versity, where he became one of the most popular figures on the campus in his freshman year. He plans to return to Stanford this fall to con- tinue his study of cconomics in preparation for a carcer as n stock broker, with s manager, George Blake, as his partner. Few fighters are more intelligent than La Barba in or out of the ring. One of the few things that Tunncy and La Barba have in commen 1s that they rcad Shakespeare. “I rather you wouldn't say any- Shakespeare be- cause that Tunney's gag,” l.a Barba reveal one fighter's personality. Afmong the other hooks La Rarba hus read while training for Choco- late are a hook of Austrialian verse, H. G. Wells' Outline of History, Wiggam’s Fruit of the Family Tree, Ward's Our Economic Morality, Pedler's Ritter Heritage and fresh- man readings “The Outline of History is my favorite book.” la Barba confided. “I have read it many times. Strange to say, fighting is not La Barba's favorite sport. It's foothail. He admits he rather play quarter- back on the Stanford footbail team than win all the boxing titles in the world. 86 much for that part of Ta Barba. ‘Tonight's mzht will he his eleventh since he returned to the ring. He has won all ten of them and knécked out three of his last four opponents. La Barba has lost only four fights in his career—two fo Johnny Vacca and two to Jimmy McLarnin, when the latter was a flyweight. Chocolate has handed eight fight- ers the first knockouts of their car- ecers, including Johnny Vacca, whom he finished in nine rounds.
