Athletics Are Impressive.
The first round between the Ath-
letics and the Yankees convinced a
great many thousands of base ball
fans that the Macks are not to be
sneezed at. The fight which they put
up against New York was spirited and
full of vim. BRAZIL gives indica ton
OF being ball player who has just
got to his own With badly injured
hand, which was so painful that he
could not close it upon bat without
hurt, he went through the New York
games without a whimper. Even if
not natural first baseman, he is
such good ball player that he has
given confidence to the Athletic in
field.
Connie Mack has as good a third
baseman as there is going in Dugan,
and he plays better game than he
did last year because he has a lot of
confidence in BRAZIL and SAYS that he
has. Dykes had little to do in the
series. but Galloway was steadier
with the new first baseman. Though
the Athletics lost the first game by a
top-heavy score they were playing

Coach Schlosser's team of huskes
battering the line of Holtville's pet
football team. While the Central
warriors piled up a score of 20 to
6, it was much harder fought con-
test than the score indicates. In the
firts quarteR shortly after the kick
off, Holtville got the ball and started
march toward Central's goal, which
was only stopped by a superlative eff
fort on the part of Schlosser's team.
After holding Holtville for four
downs, Central had the ball and by a
series of line bucks and end runs
crossed oHltville's line for the first
touchdown of the game.
The outstanding star of the game
was Wakefield for Ell Centro, and
he lived up to his reputation as the
best open field runner in the Valley
league. Less spectacular but equally
effective was the work of David
Barnes in the line. The work of the
last named player is especially worthy
of mention as it is his first year in
the sport. Early in the game he was
forced to quit the team on account of
an injury, but came back in the sec
tond half and helped his team mates
to stop the hard hitting men from
Holtville.

Judge H. S. Cowan, big cattle own

shipping rates on cattle. = -
Judge Cowan is also attorney for
the National Livestock Association

High freight rates are ruinous to
stock growers" he said this morn
ing. "The government reduction of
20 per cent is not enough"
Judge Cowan remarked that it is
time for this country to wake up and
see what is the matter and correct it,
inasmuch-as most cattle have been
marketed from the pastures and
ranges and the railroads have gotten
from this years shipments a total
equal to one-fourth, or thereabouts,
as much as the net yielded to the
freight payers, yet much less net
than the pre-war period yielded to
them under the old rates.
The rates must come down and the
expenses Of operation must come
down.

unanswerable arguments to extend
to all rates the 20 per cent reduction
that the railroads made in September
following the recommendation Of the
commission to reduce the rates that
were over SO cents per hundred.
"Thc only answer was that the rail
roads under the 6 per cent guaranty
or standard of the transportation act,
could not afford to do it and that
Congress intended that they should
have that per cent which they had
not made and couldn't make with
present labor cost and other expenses.
"The country can't pay it and the
railroads say they can't do without
it. That is dilemma that confronts
the country as never before.
"Unless the labor board allows
wages to be reduced, and unless saw
ings can be made in expenses, how can
the producer get rates on which live
stock and agriculture can survive, un-
less method be devised for the gov
ernment to lend it's help? 1t is not a
case that will right itself, for these
