"BRAVO, OLE!" forty thousand sombreros sail in the air as
the Champion of Latin America
rolls hi s international combat
weapon into the afternoon sun.
Ernesto "Pronto" Via is his name,
and gobbling gringos is the gentleman's game. With his ever
trusty peet crew Jose Gana (left)
and Cervesaverde (direcha) and
the trusty, powerfultwo-wheelcaballo which the Mexican fans
call "El Motll," Pronto is the favorite to win.
With the charming modesty for
which thA Latins are famous,
Pronto promises to win the coming 8-week International Cham·
pionship for Mexico. Power output of El Mota is a top secret,
but spies in the Latin Pits report
that the south of the border contingent has "a lot of beans,"
NEXT WEEK- With a hey-DoDDyaDd a brouhaha, we briDg on the
Cllaapion of the British Empire.
