The past week Sam F. Denomie has gone
over several prospective routes for cross
roads and will have map made cf each
prospective line gone over to forward to the
Interior Department at Washington, d. C.
in order that they may secure first hand tie
information how much territory that needs
these roads before the developing of these
lands lying in those sections can be under
taking and the amount that needs these roads
are good two-thirds of the reservations.
next week Mr.. Denomie will have an article

each prospective road for building and the
condition of the land ovef which it will run.

Great Baseball Season
Has Come to a Close

stepping ahead of Imperial. Brawley
from the first was unfortunate. That
team had some of the ablest players
in the league, but game after game
was lost by the narrowest of mar
gins, and when the Imperial team was
disbanded, some days since, Brawley
also dropped out.
Ell Centro had won the pennant, but
Calexico wanted revenge, and got it
in the five post-season games.
The season has been highly enjoy
able and, while it has not been finan-
cially profitable to the promoters, it
is probable in future years it will con-
tinue the practice to get big league
players here for winter games, max

The great baseball season came to
an end yesterday, when Calexico de-
feated FL Centre in a close contest
1t has been great season, and it
ends with divided honors, for, while
Ell Centre won the pennant, this city
was badly beaten in a series of five
post-season games for purse of $500.
The border city took four of the five.
The season opened with Brawley,
Imperial, Ell Centre and CaleXico
each having strong team, some of
the most famous players from the big
leagues being in each of the teams.
1t was high class professional ball
throughout the season.
For a time Imperial and Ell Centre
contested for leadership, this city fin

Piscal is laboring under the delusion

he left Washington. The purpose Of
the chase, he declares, is to hang

We are glad again-for the
third time in two years-to an

Goodyear policy on price Is
to give the utmost in a tire at

reductions are made to that

That always means, with our
matchless output, more for the
money than any other maker
can give.
