BIG PUSH BALL
TO Be FAIR
FEATURE

The only pushball west of the Mis-
sissippi river is being brought to the
Valley for a special series of contests
Ito be staked as one Of the many free
attractions at the Imperial Valley
Livestock Fair to be held in Ell Cen
Itlo, December 27, %, 20 and 30.
Details of the contest are now be-
ing arranged. 1t will be the first
event of the kind ever held in the
Valley, and, besides it's novelty, the
contest is expected to attract great
deal of attention because of the eX-
citement engendered by it.
The ball is huge rubber sphere
inflated with compressed air. 1t stands
close to 10 feet, and the one which
the fair management has secured cost
$500.
The object of the contest is to push
the ball over the adversary's goal line,
and the sides are made up of twenty
men each. Not only strength, but
skill, enters into the contest, and
those who have seen it declare it more
interesting than baseball or football.
In admonishing the jury to refrain
from any discussion of the case, the
c >urt remarked that it had learned
of some alleged indiscretions on the
part of the jurors, giving added eau
ton as to the conduct of the jurors
with respect to their department. The
court said that it had heard that the
case was being discussed by the jur-
ors in a manner prejudicial to court
procedure.

by way of Mexico City and Havana,
Cuba. He stopped over to visit
friends in Mexicali, who today showed
him over the Valley.
Senor Hernandez appears to be the
iron-nerved man his friends claim him
to be and his elastic step dvulges the
cat-like agility that every bull fighter
must have to avoid the deadly on
rpshes of wild bulls. His status in
Spain is one of high degree. Like

FARM LOAN
BODIES

Two fam loan associations were
formed Saturday afternoon at the
Wilson school building, thirty-eight
ranchers of the Ell Centro district and
eighteen from the Brawley district ef

filed applications for loans under the
provisions of the farm loan statute.

Louis Ivey Substitutes in
Pinch When CalexicO
Raises Big Rumpus.
League Standing.

Casters crafty pitching and Ell Gen.

cient to permit Calexico to take the
game yesterday afternoon from Ell
Centro, the score being 10 to 2. East

the pinches. Priests twirling was not
bad On the surface, but he could not
stem the tide when hits meant runs.
Also, his support was ragged and de-
spite his best efforts his teammates
Just couldn't aid him in taking the
game.
Gallaher started to umpire and i'm
mediately the Calexico players started
to jump on the ump. Gallaher called
time and the Calexico players refused
to play. In order to give the specta-
tors the benefit, Louis Ivey was called
from the grandstand and finished the
game. When the matter was called
t. the attention of the league presi-
dent that official could do nothing
else than give the game to Ell Cen
tro.
CaleXico made two runs in the first
inning, and that would have really
been sufficient to win, as CaleXico
permitted the locals to gather in
Trace of runs for sociability's sake.

BOARD o.. REGENTS
GlA HOLDING SESSION
Arrangements for Letting Con-
tracts Discussed; Institution
Heads Coming.

The question of arranging for con
tracts for the publication of the cata'
lOgues, for the janitor and dormitOry
supplies, for uniform regulations re-
garding the government of the var.
ious educational institutions, annual
budgets entertainment and. lecture
courses and kindred subjects, will
come up for consideration in a preim.
mary way before the state board OF
regents at the meeting which began
yesterday afternoon and will con-
time the rest of the week.
1t is probable that arrangements
will be made for the letting of con
tracts about the April meeting.
The board believes that a better
quality of goods can be obtained at
possibly reduced rates through let
uing the contracts in this manner than
by permitting each institution to
award it's own. The calls for bids will
be so arranged that local dealers can
go after the contracts in their home
towns, or after those in all the insti-
tutions if they desire. The contracts
will be on the basis of local delivery
at each institution. The board has
found this plan works successfully in
regard to fuel supplies and believes a
more general application of the sys-
TEN will make for economy.
In regard to rules and regulations
for the various institutions the board
recognizes there must be certain
amount of individuality and feXibility
for each, but also believes uniformity
OF certain character can be made ef-
fective in such manner that will be
beneficial. ... 'rH,'..''.- --.
The intent of the board appears to
be to let contracts and make resula-
tons for the institutions wherever it
can be done in beneficent way, with
out in any manner handicapping any
institution. - b.

college will appear before the board

Elk AND DEER SEEK
L0WLANDS FOR FOOD
Thousands Of Animals Being Fed
BY Federal Government in
RS.
Yellowstone.

Parties having just returned from
Gardiner Mont, and Mammoth Hot
Springs, Yellowstone National Park,
report witnessing one OF the most
wonderful sights conceivable. 1t is
known that Yellowstone National Park
is the greatest wild animal and game
preserve in the United States.
Owing to the unusual heavy snow
fall this winter, the animals have
sought the fats for forage, where the
snow is not so heavy or too thickly
crusted, as in the canyons. Around
Gardiner, being a sheltered spot,
thousands have moved to that loca-
ton. where they are being fed under
Government direction. BY careful and
quite accurate account there are abou.
5000 elk between Gardiner and Nam
moth Hot Springs and about 1890 on
the Gardiner fats at Gardiner, about
200 deer, SEQ antelope and so mountain
sheep. Many game enthusiasts and
others are going to Gardiner to wit
ness this extremely uncommon sight.
The animals are very tame, and many
unusual photographs and snapshots
are being taken; moving picture men
are also taking advantage of this rare
opportunity, and some world-famed
animal pictures will be the result.
Gardiner. is the southern terminus
of the Northern Pacific's Yellowstone
Park Line from Livingston, Mont, and
is located at the Park boundary, five
miles from Mammoth Hot Springs and
Fort Yellowstone, the legislative CEN
ter Of the Park.
