WEATHER FORECAST.

Imperial Valley press., 1914-05-21

With Detroit still setting the pace
for the American League as this
switch in the line of battle occurred,
Jennings also faced sitter fight to
keep to the fore. Instead of the ST.
Louis Browns, White Sox and Cleve-
land Maps, the Tigers have had moth
ing to worry about except the wild
and untamed Yanks or Frank Chance.
Walter johnson, Boohling, the Bos-
ton Hraves and team in Philadel-
phia known as the Athletics.
That's all they have had to fear
durihg their first Eastern trip in
the tussle to keep in the lead. If
Walter Johnson doesn't kill some of
the batters mayb ethe Mackian ar
tillery will also spare a fielder or
two and Jennings will get back to
Detroit and the West in the same
spot with the other teams holdinp
the balance in the percentage column.
When Connie Mack decided to land
marines, however, occupy first place
and declare martial law it will take
sniping from the entire league to
dislodge him. If Jennings is able
to jump in and cop the customs
house during the firing, then it may
be another story, but that is on ahead
and why swim river when the troops
will soon be along with pontoon
bridges. %.

Playing Game of War

American dreadnaughts are un-
equaled the world over, but we cannot
risk the honor of the Stars and Stripes
by placing unskilled players in COM
mand Of the game. We must trair
our leaders, and it is for this that
weather-beaten old captains take g
severe course at the Naval War Col
lege at Newport, Rhode Island.
"Hcur after hour" says Louis E.
Browne, in an Illustrated article ir
the June Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine, "these future players of the
real, terrible game of war, wage
mimic battle upon great checker
board like table representing the ocean
and using as pieces toy dreadnaughts.
destroyers and submarines. To the Wis
itor, the sight of score of men on
bended knees, moving miniature ships
about in an apparently aimless man.
ner, gives the impression that they
have reverted to childhood.
"The game table is 20 #. square
and is marked off in inches, each
square inch representing square
mile. The board represents a portion
of the oceans surface 24O miles
square. Steel pins with colored flags
run through the tiny ships of painted
wood, serve to hold the toys in any
desired position on the table. Battle
ships are indicated by blue flags;
cruisers, by red flags; destroyers, by
white, and submarines, by green. The
American fleet is represented by toy
ships tinted blue, while. the enemy
is represented by red.
eff the toy fleet steams at any given
number of knots, the distance that it
moves over the game board can be
measured from scale without com
putation. The headway lost by ship
when turning is also computed on the
scale. A stick 40 in. long, divided into
units representing 500 yd each-onc
inch representing a mile-is used to
determine the distance between minia-
ture fleets. This takes the place of
the range finder on battleships, upon
which the accuracy of gun fire de-
pends."

The Man in the Uniform.

Baltimore Star: In the midst of
her grief the sister of one of the first
men killed among the American forces
which seized Vera Cruz expressed a
sentiment that should be echoed by
all Aemricans. She said that she
hoped her brothers death not only
would prove not to have been in vain
for the advancement of his country's
interest, but would also lead to q
more general respect for the uni
form of the naval service which he
wore.
There has been much righteous in
lignation in this country over the
discrimination practiced by some
places of amusement against the ma
val enlisted man in uniform. The
comment of this patriotic young wom-
an, who could thus dedicate her broth
er to the service of his country and
the vipdication of his livery while she
wept for him, should give a new di-
rection to the proper resentment of
practice which has neither excuse
nor justification.
The gallantry of marines and blue
jackets at Vera Cruz has added once
more to the debt which a grateful
country owes them. 1t could not be
more fittingly repaid than by the en-
actment of both federal and state
laws penahzing such discrimination
and requiring at home that respect
for the uniform which we are so Wig
orously enforcing abroad.

M'GRAW EXPECTS
VICTORY IN WEST
(BY HAL 'SHERIDAN)
(Writted for the United Press)

New York, May 21.-By the time
we are ankle, knee or waist deep in
June there may be several things
which have gone unanswered in May
that may begin to show signs of
solution. The National League teams
are more or less up to their necks
in their first Western invasion, while
the American League forces of the
West are trailing over the sodden
fields Of the East.
Up to and including this point West
has met West and East East, but
when the intersectional clashes scamp
er along real size up of the situa-
tion begins to shape itself into a sort
of form that permits the dopesters
to use up yards of paper in figuring
and then find in October that their
figures were worth just about as much
as the paper they scribbled on.
Insofar as National League matters
are concerned Manager McGraw ex-
poets to return to the Polo Grounds
in June looking much better, pen
nantly speaking, than he did when he
started his Western trip. When Nc
Graw hit Pittsburgh the Pirates had
won Is games and lost d, which in
dicates considerable ball playing.
Clark's crew, however, had been
tusslirg with the late lamented Chica-
go Cubs, St. Louis and Cincinnatti
McGraw had had the scrapping Phil
lies, Wilburt Robinson's Brooklyn
Dodgers and Boston to argue with
Now the tables have been switched
If they keep the bit in their teeth
and continue their dash over the pros
trate forms of the Eastern teams dur
ing this session as they did over the
Western half of the circuit, it will be
long hard chase before they are
caught.
McGraw has Mathewson, Tesreau
Marquard and Demaree, the "Big
Four" tuned for this Western tour
and expects to deliver. He figures
on the Pirates getting on the re-
ceiving end of several hard, solid wal
lops before they are through with
the Eastern bunch It is, so far as
any one is able to figure out, largely
a matter of Clark's pitchers continu-
ing to come through. McQuillen, the
comeback, has borne the brunt of
the pastime of standing opposing bats
men on their heads so far. Lurking
in the background Clark has Bon
Harmon, too, who has shown but
little during the early period. When
the sun begins to boil down, however
and Harmon loosens up he should be
a big help.
Harmon has been guilty of pitching
some rafting games and with the sup.
port the Pirates assure a boxman,
to say nothing of some effective stick
ing on the side, the ex-Cardinals may
yet come along with Mowry and Ken
ey and live down the fact that he
played in St. Louis.

doubles and three baggers for ass

Golden Has a Hero.
-

Golden has a hero and a very
young ore too. Willie Bennett,
Ia lad fifteen years old, proved
himself worthy of Carnegie
medal Monday afternoon when
he probably saved the lie OF
Mrs. Alex SeaJh and her two
year old son in a runaway acci-
dent on the streets of Golden.
Mrs. Seath and son Cunnie and
Miss Minnie Richter, drove to
Golden Monday afternoon for a
Measure ride. About a mile
this side they stopped to water
their horse which was from d
livery, and Miss Richter slipped
the briddle off so that the animal
could drink. The horse took
fright and started to run with
the mother and child in the bug
gy. Mrs. Seath put the child
between her feet in the bottom
Of the buggy and grasped the
reins in a frantic effort to stop
the horse. People along the road
gave chase and Willie Bennett on
horseback finally overlook them
after the runaway had dashed
madly through the business
streets of Golden turning three
corners. AS it approached the
depot the lad swung himself from
his saddle and throwing his arms
around the horses neck succeed
ed in bringing him to a stand
still.
Mrs. Seath had pluckily pulled
on the reins until exhausted ard
the reins drawn tightly across
the horses neck probably had
much to do to retard his speed.
Cunnie seemed to rather enjoy
the ride and in relating it to his
father afterwards he said, I'VE
lust left Minnie in the middle OF
the road and the horse just run
n ed like the debble.' ~
