It's a shame that the largest city
in the Valley will be out of the I'M
perial Valley baseball league this
year." exclaimed Cy Young, the we'll
known local baseball player who is
anxious to get back into the harness.
"We tried to interest the people of
Ell Centre to assist us in forming a
team for this season, ard only few
responded when we called meeting,
but | want to say that the few who
did show up promised their support,
both materially and financially"
We have to fall in line with our old
friend, Cy' 1t is shame that the
other towns have organized ball teams
and even a foreign city, Mexicali, has
come to the front with an aggregation
that is ready to join the league-and
the citv across the border will un-
doubtedly be admitted. Calexico, Cali
patria, and Brawley have purchased
new uniforms and are now playing
exhibitions in order to get into play
ing condition, and at the same time
waiting for the league to be organized
Thatcher Marvin, manager Of tho
Brawley team, telephoned today tc
inquire about Ell Centro's entry in he
league, and we told Mr.. Marvin that
nothing had been done up to this time

NEW FORDS ARE
EQUIPPED WITH
SELF STARTERS

Since September /, Edgar Brothers
Company have been receiving large
number of Ford cars equipped with
the storage battery and starting and
lighting conveniences, which additions
have greatly added to the desirability
If the Ford car.
&. ID. Otteson, manager of the conf
pany's Ford service department, has
issued the following cautions to own
ers\ of cars with the new equipment,
in order to prevent disappointments
and mistakes resulting from not Civ
ing attention to the batteries:
The battery should be tested every
Ten days or two weeks as to specific
gravity and amount of liquid in the
cell.
The specific gravity should be tax
en- by the use of battery hydrometer
and should read 1875 to 1900 for full
charge. If battery tests higher, the
charging rate of the generator is too
high and should be adjusted.
The electrolyte solution should be
high enough to cover the top of the
plates one-quarter of an inch deep
Use only distilled water to bring the
solution up to the proper level.
Batteries should not be used when
in half charged condition or wher
half full of liquid, and serious damage
will result from such use.
If the battery is properly cared for
the other units of the starting anC
lighting system will give no trouble
Under no circumstances will the
Ford company replace any defective
units on which the seals have beer
broken, and it is important that own
!, ers be careful that mechanics do not
tamper with these parts.
Battery service stations are ready
at all times to test batteries and will
be able to keep them full. For other
troubles in the starting system, bring
your ear to authorized Ford service
