GOOD DETECTIV ES

Probation Officer i. w. Swanson re-
ccived letter in MS mail yesterday
which he believes is an excellent ex-
ample of the ability of the postal de-
partment to deliver mail to its proper
destination and IN remarkably quick
time. The envelope containing the let
ter was addressed in an almost illegible
hand, "L. senccrl Labor offs, Califor-
nia,' and was mailed from Welutka,
Oklahoma, on September 80. The letter
is as follows:
81 have been inform to write to the
albor offs wish you would inform me
of the wurkins job so can Get in
! corspndes with them. Your very trOuly
l.. r. Afford. -
- How the post office ever connected
Il. sencerl' with Ell Centre, is a mys
! terry to me, said Mr.. Swanson, "but
it evidently was a good guess as | be-
lieve the man heard of the Imperial
Valley from friends here, or fror, some
one who had been here and returned
| to Oklahoma. He then decided to write
here for work, and thanks to the eff
cheney of the postal service, reached
the right place. While ! do not handle
| an employment agency, this. sort of
thing often comes my way and | get
work for the men if + can, so / intend
to write to Mr.. Afford and see what
can be done for him.

YALE And HARVARD
CONSIDERED BEST
IN FOOTBALL GAME:
Princeton Out of Running
This Season; Train
DrOp-Kickers
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Oct. l0.-For the pre-
sent year at least eastern football
seems to have returned the glory Of
Harvard and Yale. The two ancient
members of the "big three have
started on another season that should
produce fairly established title for
one of them.
Princeton, badly wrecked by gradu-
alton and house cleaning, hasn t the
bright prospects Of her fellow mem
bers of the trio that used to rule the
gridiron of the east without dispute.
Pennsylvania, Penn State, Cornell,
Dartmouth, Syracuse and the Army and
the Navy have fairly smooth course
laid out in front OF them.
Every coach III the east is working
at the development of drop-kicker5 and
the present season may bring out one
of the greatest arrays of booting stars
in history.
AS the western conference does not
get under way for another week, it is
hard to forecast what the middle west
will develop. Next Saturdays game
between Yale and Iowa, the conference
champion of 1921, will give Il good
line on both teams, as it is the first
important game of the season.

BASEBALL TEAM
PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR new SEASON
Billings-St. Louis Browns,
Lindamore-Los Angeles,
May Play Again

Prospects for good baseball team
in FL Centre this winter look pretty
fine today following first call for
tossers took the field enabling Acting
Manager Fred Gianola to get line on
his talent for the coming season. That
the fans in FL Centre want a team is
proved by a crowd of nearly 100 who
watched two scrub teams 90 through
their PAGES.
AS yet no definite lineup has been
arranged but there were several new
comers i'll the group yesterday who
showed up to good advantage and will
undoubtedly secure places on the team.
Prominent among these is Jamison, of
Varney, Brothers and Company who is
an experienced first baSeman. lie made
. hit with the crowd by the way he
handled himself around the initial sack.
And Baker, an outfielder, with Ed
gar Brothers Company, is sweet look
ing outfielder and made decidedly
good impression both with his stick
work and fielding ability.
Want To Come Back
Josh Billings, of the st. Louis Amer
leans, who caught for Ell Centre last
year, has made known his desire to
return here for the winter. He says
he can bring a first class pitcher along
with him. Lindamore, Los Angeles
third baseman, who also was on last
year s Ell Centre team wishes to play
here again. If these arrangements go
through, it will give FL Centre the
three professionals allowed by the
Valley League, who will form the back
bone of the team. Josh can be depend
ed upon to bring good pitcher if the
club wantS one.
With Tackett on third, Ellis on sec
ond, and Buck in the outfield, all three
of whom played on last years team
there seems to be no reason why FL
Centre cannot put out Il team that
will show the other towns in the valley
plenty of dust.
Efforts are being made to induce
Fred Gianoa of the First National
Bank to take active management of
the team and it is doubtful if n better
man could be secured. Fred knows the
game, he would have the respect and
confidence of both players and fans
and would be certain to produce an ag
gregation that would put Ell Centre
on the baseball map this winter. If hi
can be persuaded to take over the jo'
permanently, baseball stock in FL Cen
trO is due for rise and the baseball
public for Il mighty good team.

The meeting of East and West. each

The meeting of the Jones brothers,

In spite of the fact that straw

they have been thus far this sea-
son, an increase in the price of the
California product is slated for
next week. The present price OF

ting by wholesalers today. 1t is
nearing the end of the season in

that reason berries next week will
perhaps go back to 20 cents box
until local stuff arrives.
Rhubarb Is little cheaper
now selling three bunches for rs

Melted Gem Yakima potatoes
