SAN' FRANCISCO, July fX Far away in the Philippines j
a little brown girl, who recently beenme the mother of a baby,
daughter, has been advised by now that her childhood sweet
heart, who went into the big w hite world of the west and be-,
came the first prize-fight champion of his race, has lost his'
title to death. .
Pancho Villa, the under-sized, peppery flyweight, died m !
St. Mary's hospital here Tuesday at the age of 24. To the
last he was a victim of the cynicism of the fight fan. who
knows that every alleged ailment to which a fighter falls heir;
i nnthinir more than an alibi. Pancho died from an abscessed .
and infected throat, which came upon him just before he
fought Jimmy McLarnin at Oakland, 12 days ago.

Villa came to America after win
ning the bajitamweight and fly
weight titles of the orient, and Im
mediately became a successful draw
ing card, winning the American fly
weight title about a year later from
Johnny Buff, the veteran Jersey
man. After losing to (Jenaro he
came back ln the fall of 1923 and
kayoed Wilde In a sensational bat
tle at the. Polo Grounds.
In the last year he had fouaht In
a dozen contests, ncne of which were
oi mucn import except his bout with
r ranxie Ash.
Villa was to have fought Ccnaro
again, but had been given six months
by the New York boxing commission
to recover from a sore shoulder.
The little brown fellow might not
even have died a champion had not
McLarnin. under a contract clause
been overweight. This prevented a
change of the title.
