Difficulties Experienced

Like all new enterprises OF TINS ma
ture, the commodity associations
experienced many difficulties in their
early development First, it was
practically impossible to obtain dlrec-
tors and managers who had had eH-
perience in this type of marketln@'
Second, members were inexperienced
in this method of selling their commo-
dities, and most of them were not
familiar with the operation, manage
mcnt, purposes, and functions OF thelf
respective associations. This lack OF
information on the part of members
along with a lack of immediate finan-
ciaI benefits and with encouragement
and insidious propaganda offered from
the outside, has resulted in discomfort,
and in contract violations. Third, the
public was not familiar with the ad-
cantages which may accure to farm
ers, to distributors, to consumers, and
to the public at large, by more effi-
cient distribution of agricultural pro-
ducts.

The associations are organized uli-
der the terms of blndlhg coii'' ',
between the growers and the resP'o'
tive association, whereby the grove

modelled after, and practically ldenlic"l
with those used in California, Wher'
cooDerative marketing has ATTAINED
great success. The principle OF tn'

OLYMPIC WINNER

PARIS, May 29.-Chances for Amer
lea to land the 1924 Olympic games are
thought to be growing stronger with
each succeeding development of fric-
tion between the French Olympic com
mittee and the government authorities.
The games would be held at Los An
geles.
The latest move in the chamber of
finance asking for reduction of the
appropriation of 100000 francs would
make the government s contribution
only 15,000,000 franc, which the com
mittee considers far insufficient.
The international olympic committee
meets June 7 to consider the games,
and even if the chamber does not, in
the time, find a way to raise 15,000,000
francs for the fund, it is probable that
the international committee will ask
Paris to surrender.
While no official statements have
been issued, it is understood that the
international committee has found the
French preparation over delayed and
insufficient funds for the games and
will name Los Angeles if the American
city agrees to make suitable arrange
ments in time for the games.

WATCHING THE sCoREBOARD

Yesterday s hero, Rogers Hornsby,
ST. Louis outfieder, with his 18th and
18th lout, scored three runs and beat
the Pirates to 3. McHenry also hit
one.
Joe Judge, Washington first base
man, tied the score in the eighth with
a home with two on, singled in the
tenth and scored the run on Brewer s
triple that beat the Yanks, A to 3.
The Giants made it 5 in a row by
taking an easy game from the Phils,
8 to l.
Detroit scored four runs in the first
inning and was never headed, beating
the Cleveland Indians to 5.
Gerber, Brown, shortstop hit four
singles in five times up and fielded
sensationally, helping Dave Danforth
beat the White SoX 4 to 2.
Errors by Caveney and Pilletti and q
hit by Grimes in the sixth inning gave
the Cubs two runs and to victory
over the Reds.
Zach s Wheat s homer helped tt
score four runs in the eighth inning
but they were not enough and The
Robins got beat to 6.
Imperial Valley press., 1922-05-29

fore or as you receive the ball, not after
you receive it. To wait until you re-
ceive the ball before shifting feet
means too great loss Of time. Be in
position to throw when you receive the
ball. DO not take more than one step
to throw
g. Throw as quickly as possible but
not so quickly that you cannot get a
good throwing grip on the ball and put
a lot of speed on it. Don't sacrifice
speed of throw to getting the ball
away quickly. Practice will teach you
more about this.
Z. Throw the ball to the baseman in
good time rather than try to throw it
right on the toes of the runner. If the
baseman is not in position to take the
throw, send the ball about three feet
over the bag.
8. Instantly, when the ball is hit,
get rid of the mask. This is most i'm
portant.
8. Stand as close to the plate as the
bat swing will permit.
10. Learn to throw to all three
bases.
IL. Touch runners upon the feet
not upon the knees, hips or shoulders.
12. Make the throwing motion short
