THE YEARS WORK.

There are certain elements of great prosperity in
Imperial Valley which remain undisturbed by the war,
and toward which the attention of the people here should
be directed
Chief among these the livestock and dairy inter
ests With butterat again to 81 cents and beef pork
mutton poultry and eggs commanding big prices there is
inowng of money which comes with the regularity Of
the calendar and which loses nothing in profit the in
dustes expand for the markets always equal to the
demand
And aside from these, there is slow drift toward
fruit growing, with the development of lines of produc-
ton that exceed the profits of livestock in proper
ton to acreage.
Cotton the Press has never looked as permanent
crop in this valley the land eventually must be too val
liable for that culture and may not be bad thing per-
manenty for the valley that this culture has received
something of check the tendency will be to divert de-
velopment to lines which give greater promise.
AS the situation stands, with the European war
almost certain to continue for year at yeast and with
prospect for the immense cotton yield of this year being
the market with the crop of year. there nothing
encourage the planting of cotton for the season.
and this fact should be thoroughly appreciated for the
good of all.
We can therefore with great benefit turn our faces
toward other great industries and bend our united wills
working out the future of the valley in those lines

been won and lost before the first ball
is pitched
The first series between the Giants
and the Athletics, way back in the
GAYS, of the Cross brothers and Rube
Wadiell, was such one. The Ath
letics depended to a great extent on
Waddell and Waddell suddenly went to
pieces several days before the first
game. Immediately the entire outfit
cult cold A baseball writer met
Monte Cross on the street in Philadel-
rhia 4 day or two before the series
and said that he wore the generally
bright and buoyant air of man who
is going to be electrocuted in the see
ond week of October. The whole team
went into the series in a trance of
Stage fright and the Giants romped
ever them.
Ty Cobb has remarked that it is 4
lucky thing for the Braves that they
clincned the pennant last Thursday, as
they will have had a whole week cf
comparative rest in which to prepare
for the big battle. There is some
ground for disagreeing with Mr.. Cobb
into this matter, as we have been
forced to do from time to time since
he became the greatest center fielder
IN literature.
These young men on the Boston
team will have time to rest-which
very few of them need-and they will
also have time to think, which is about
the worst thing they could do. Il
you were suddenly introduced to San:
Langford and five seconds later he in
suited you, there is an excellent
chance that you would bust him
abruptly with anything that might be
convcrient from your fist up. But #
you we're told week in advance that
certain hour you were going to he
introduced to Langford and that you
would be called upon to slam him five
seconds thereafter, you would not,
probably, go shouting down through
the days.
This is likely to be the effect Of the
weeks rest on the Braves. It will
doubtless help the pitching arms cf
the twirlers but not their peace cf
mind. In those last days at the Polo
Grounds they probably studied the
spot on the horizon where the ball was
last seen when Matty gave Frank
Barke- that low fast one inside. They
have also had some time to devote TO
the batting weakness" of the Ath
letics and learn how few and far be.
tween are these. If they had been
hustled from the National league race
right into battle with the Athletics
with only days rest between they
nigh have had some complaints from
the pitchers, but they would have still
lad the momentum of their great
rush.

believing that the Athletics will pre-

This is likely to happen in the case
of the Braves. 1t has been all In the
family all summer and a pretty bum
family it has been, take it by and
large. For several years the Giants
have been the only ball club in the
league and they were never IN that
time a truly great club. This year
the dear old Giant team has been just
2 plain squash.
The result is that the Braves have no
idea what real baseball team looks
like-and they have a whole week in
which to do lot of uncomfortable
guessing. This is likely to induce .

On Eve of Battle.
(By Frank G. Menke)


Philadelphia, Oct. 8.-On the eve
of the first battle between the Braves
and the Athletics for the baseball
worlds championship, these facts and
incidents stand out with considerable
prominence:
Ram may cause postponement of
the game scheduled for tomorrow. AT
least the local weather forecaster
says so, and he enjoys an enviable
reputation for truth-telling in this
community.
Bender and Rudolph will be the op-
posing pitchers, 40 matter when the
first game is played.
The Athletics are to favorites
III the betting on the series and odds
varying from 10 to 71a to to 4 are
Icing laid that the Athletics will win
the first game.
There is lots of Boston money in
sight and the chances are that the
cdds may be forced down to even mon
ey before the teams go into battle in
the opener.
Many freak bets are being laid.
There is a rare possibility that Con
ME Mack and George Stallings will
cnliven the first game with fist fight
as climax to the wordy battle in
which they engaged today via telc-
phone.
Our old friend, the ticket scandal,
is in cur midst again, but if he is not
careful he's liable to be jailed, as
the police have orders to arrest all
specs"
Both teams are in fine fettle for
the battle and are confident of VIC
tory.
The Braves are confident that Char

he VIII prove something, or something
else, There is also no doubt that the
Athletics are a better ball club in
ways which the figures do not show.
All of this it is our present intention
to slam at you at greater length in
the next day or two. There is third
aspect to the situation which is more
important than the one and equally
as important as the other mentioned.
This is what we are drifting toward
at this moment.
