There will be no weak spots in the team and with a good pitcher, such as garded as perhaps the strongest all round team in the league.
 Manager Benson has been con fronted with the problem of furnish ing strong team for Fl Centro, hay ing practically no local players fast | enough to be considered and with the necessity for economy always be- fore him. Inasmuch as he has ap- Parently solved the problem and has successfully met this difficult situa- tion the judgment of the local sup porters in selecting him has been vindicated.
 Brown and Vance, the Vernon bat Vance is speedy, has good curves and is coming all the time. This battery has not as good a reputation as some whom they will oppose this winter but in the judgment of good ball players they will be as fast as any on the desert this winter
 Easterly, who played with Imperial last year and who has been catch ing for the Cleveland American league team will play first base and change catcher. Easterly is mighty man with the stick and an excep- tionally fast base runner. It makes no difference to him how fast the the lot just the same. Second base has not been definitely decided upon yet, although it is possible that Bob by Watson will be chosen for that position. McClelland will play third or outfield Manager Benson is still base and Harkins will play shortstop corresponding with one or two other players but can make no definite an nouncement concerning them. It is also possible that Easterly will bring an infielder with him. Burness will play in the outfield.
 The El Centro players have been instructed to report for duty on Nov. and begin practice at once The first months subscriptions will be due on that date and should be paid promptly. Those citizens who want baseball and who have subscribed to-. ward baseball fund should meet their obligations promptly; the manage ment has been efficient and econo- mical and ought to be supported by the town to the last notch.

THE BLOOD LINE.
Moas Potent Factor In Telling tho Cor
rect Story Of Descent.


A drop Of the blood Of walrus
shows no relation with drop Of
whales blood or of the blood of any
other cetacean, such as seals or por-
poises, which, like the walrus, are
mammals that have taken to the
sea, says DR.. William Hanna
Thompson in Eyerybody's. Instead
of that, the blood Of the walrus i'm.
mediately reacts with the blood OF
horses, asses and zebras, thus prov.
ing that he is an equine that nc
longer crops grass, but goes where
he can live on an exclusively fish
diet. Likewise the hippopotamus is
shown to be modified fish.
Where the blood relationship ex.
lists, but is distant, these reactions
are proportionately faint, but where
no reactions occur there is no rela.
tionship at all. Thus geology indi.
Gates that birds are descended from
reptiles, and, oddly enough, the
blood Of bird shows a distinct
though very faint reaction with the
blood Of snake, but none whatevcI
with that of the winged bat or the
flying squirrel, for these are nam
mails.
On the other hand. the marsupi.
ais, once such a great family, but
now reduced to the kangaroo, the
opossum and small creature in
South America. have not single
blood relation left. As to man, he
has no relationship to monkeys, but
the blood Of anthropoid apes show.
a very faint reaction with his. Mean
time all the races OF man are unmis
takably Of one blood, whatever theil
color or abode.
Hence the blood is BY far tn,
most hereditary thing about us
Neither the shape of the skeleton
nor the contour OF the body mol
brain, heart, lungs, stomach, mites
tines, liver or skin nor even ances
trail habits about the great foot
question-how to eat or keep from
being eaten-are comparable to i
single drop Of blood for telling th'
correct story OF descent. All THU
gives a new meaning to the words
'Tor the blood thereof is the lif'
thereof" Likewise the old sayin.
that insanity runs in the blood nov
wears scientific look since bloos
and family are 50 inseparably asso
ciated.
