YOung's Wildness and Back
stop Blunders Costly
to Ell CentrO.
League Standing.

FL Centre got it's first peep of the
Calexico baseball teams yesterday aft
ernoon and while Calexico won an s
Ito A battle, it was demonstrated that
the Borderites are not as good as
trey have been touted. OF their eight
tallieS, not one was earned, while
Tackett's home run entitled the locals
to one earned run. 1t is true that
Easter pitched far better game than
diG Young, the latter's wildness being
e, tremely COSTLY, and which, taken
together with loose backstopping on
the part of Atkinson, cost the Ell Cen
tro boys the game.
There is no use in mincing matters,
for an analysis of the game shows
tt.at five of the six passes granted by
Young resulted in runs. Kent's error
and ]. Tackett's error in the fifth
allowed Dean to score. McMullen
added another in the eighth, reaching
first on a pass, stealing second and
making home on H. Tackett's bobbe.
Atkinson permitted the CaleXicO play
Iers to run wild on the bases, three
sacks being purloined in the first inn
ing.
Easter never allowed more than one
hit an inning, except in the fifth and
sixth. when a total of five were gar
nered. There We're plenty of mo-
ments when the home boys could have
copied the game had they been on
their toes, but they were not equal TO
the occasion.
Rath and Mallon each contributed
sensational plays at short, while
Smiths all around work at first was
bright feature. J. Tackett landed
on one of Casters offerings in the
eighth and all Left Fielder Ritter did
was to mount the fence and watch
the ball drop across the CaleXico turn
pike.
Taking the game as whole, it is
rather difficult to say anything good
about it, except for the above record
ed features and not forgetting East
er's classy work in the box.
In the first inning Rath singled, but
was doubled a moment later when
Kepley's pop was relayed from third
to second In the following inning
Kent rested at third and died there
also. The third saw Atkinson
perched on second and the fourth end
ed with Kent on first, The fifth
brought FL Centro's first score, being
the result of Atkinson's hit to right
and Easter's fumbling Of Young in
field hit.
FL Centre might have scored doz-
en- runs in the sixth had it not been
for several things. John Kelly laced
: one out to center, reaching second
when Paxton foozled j. Tackett's
grounder. Both runners advanced a
base when Easter uncorked wild

II. Tackett breezed for the second
: time. Kent walked, filling the bases.
Smith came through with a timely hit
to center, scoring two Atkinson
tapped to short and in the hurry to
l get Smith both runners were safe,
: but that ended the expectations, as
y Young flew to right field. The sew

LAND LESSEES
 BEGIN FIGHT
Appeals Filed By Four School Land Holders Against the Findings of Board of Appraisers of Land Commission

The first resistance by school land lessees against the board of apprais- CTS of the land commission took form yesterday when four appeals from the findings of the commission board of appraisers were filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court yesterday. The appellants are w. O. Moore, Martha J. Hansen, A. Starkweather and John Bonner. The papers in the appeals contain transcript of the proceedings before the commission, including copies of the applications to purchase. the various orders and the reports of the board of appraisers. Objection is then made seriatim to the ap- praisal of the improvements and es pecially to the appraisal of water rights. In every case too. objection is made to the appraisal of the land as too high while the appraisal of 1 the Improvements are held to be | too low.
 It is not disclosed what line of attack will be made by the lessees but it is believed that an assault is 1 to be made upon the land code and reliance seems to be placed upon, a | clause of the revised statutes con- strued to fix the value of the land at what it would be worth without | the improvements.
 In the case of Moore, the value | is fixed by the appellant at $5 an acre. Moore claims that his water | right is worth s2,O00 while the board l of appraisers by the Ntable adopted | by the board based on the Kent de- l cree found that the right was worth | s6S6.5S.
 In the case of Bonner, whose | school holdings are little less than l 80 acres, the board had placed the 1 improvements at $4,S46 and the value l of the land at $7,14S.30, the land be- ing estimated to be worth s10O an l acre. Bonner holds that the land 1 should not have been valued at more I than $50 an acre and that his water
 right was worth $100 an acre or
 nearly sS,OOO.
 The appeals in the other two cases l are in principle, the same and the
 divergence between the findings of
 the board and the claims of the
 holders is as great. The apparent
 difficulty will be for the court to
 arrive at any definite value of the | water rights, for none were fixed
 by the Kent decree, which only es-
 tablishes the comparative value of
 the rights of the different classes of l lands.
 The land commission has received
 something more than 100 applica
 tions to purchase. There have beer
 about eighteen appeals from tho
 findings of the board of appraiser:
 but nine of them have been with.
 drawn.
