TEMPERATURE AND
RAIN BOTH SHORT
Hasn't Been as Warm as
Usual Nor Rained as
Much, Say Statistics.


El PasO Is starting out on another dry
year. Up to the first Of June there IS
a shortage of O.5e Of an inch Of rain for
the first five months, according to the
average which the weather bureau people
say the city is entitled to- Considerable
OF this shortage was piled up IN May,
which did not produce any rain though
the average for the month OF May and
roses IS OBS of an inch.
However, May was not as warm, on
the average. as the usual May. There Is
an accumulated deficiency in tempera-
ture OF 0.06 of d degree for each day of
May Since the first of January, there
has been an average dem-iencv in tenn
perature of 1.6 degrees each day. OF a
total Of 242 degrees for the five months.
Therefore Ell Pasoans must remember,
when it gets real warm this summcra
that they are somewhat behind on the
average and the elements have got to
catch up with that deficiency
The average temperature in May was
u degrees The highest was 96 on the
25th and the lowest was "A on the 9Th.
The highest the temperature ever got in
May in Fl PasO was los degrees and
the lowest it ever dropped was 40; this
covers the period of the 35-year exist
ence Of the weather bureau in FL Pas0.

last game of the series
Scouting is q much harder job than

a few years ago men would go out for
a big league club and If they saw
player of a little more than usual abill-
ty they would recommend right away
that he get a trial in major league
company It's not that way now. There
are too many Of these players to look
over, and the big leagues are crowded
with them right now.
when we look at a ball player now
we have to figure on what the com pany
is that he is playing in Then we ug-
ure on who it is that the recruit we
are looking al viii have TO beat out OF
a job. II looks mighty different then,
and the player has to be unusually
good before we recommend that he
go up
goose chases Imaginable. Travelling
men see a busher perform pretty well
and they write TO manager OF q big
league club they know Right away
the manager wires TO one Of his scouts
TO go out and look the man over. In
90 cases out of 100 the recruit isn't
worth looking at They are never ready
for the big league But we can't az
ford TO pass up one Of these tips. Just
the one that we would pass up might
be worth eli kinds of money to Us
