Initial Battle Of Series

A closing out sale of home runs,
three -baggers piles of scores, gobs of

tured in the first of three games be
tween Calexico and FL Centre TO deter
mine the championship of the Imperial
Valley winter league. The border city
club garnered a grand total of IL tallies
10 10 for the home boys.
II was one chang up'' game of base
ball Yesterday with every player on
both teams seemingly able to do almost
ANYTHING he desired. More scores were
registered in this contest than in any
game played in the valley, it is said. a
strong wind blowing from the west was
largely responsible for many of the
long distance clouts.
FL Centre drew first blood of the
fracas in the first inning when Buck
came romping over the pan on a pretty
drive to the field by Hegi. Calexieo
tailed in the second frame for a lone
marker. Kepley and Hegi landed on
the bags and big boy Tackett ham
lnered the pill for homer. making the
local club leading by a margin Of three
scores.
Capt Stevens, manager of the OPP

advice about playing ball. They played

that it WASH I any fun for Ell Centro.

Calexico scored with the exception OF
the lucky seventh. Paddy Living

ened at critical time. They hit him
10 all corners of the infield and the
gardens In the sixth spasm the south
esn neighbors annexed five markers
and six in the eighth. To make sure
that they had the game tucked away
they tackled two more scores TO the
total.
FL Centre failed to get in on the
breaks In the third and fifth innings
the local team managed to fill the
bases but were unable to make proper
connections to realize runs.
The second home run occurred in the
lucky seventh when catcher Wheeler
smashed a burner over the fence

SAN QUENTIN BALL
LEAGUE is OPENED
United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, March PIT e
only baseball league in the world in
which there are no holdouts-and no
chance for holdouts-has opened at St.
Quentin penitentiary.
The San Quentin prison league is re-
markabie for several reasons In the
first place, managers have a very soft
time signing up their talent. The
ieagne also opens the season, as far
as the U. S. A. is concerned. Further
more, Judge Lands won't have any
trouble about preventing the players
from transforming after the season is
over.
Oh yes, il s the only league in the
world where the small boy who gets
the ball knocked over the right field
wall doesn't get INTO the grounds free.
There are four teams, most of the
players lailing from the native vii
lages the teams are named after: The
Seals, the Oaks, the Cubs, and the

HONORS ARE DIVIDED
IN ATHLETIC
CARNIVAL

Ell Centre and Holtville high schools
divided honors in the athletic carnival
Saturday at Holtville when representa-
tives of the two institutions waged
some wicked battles in volley ball,
tennis and baseball. The home young
stors captured the mixed double event
in tennis, lost in volley ball and smoth-
cred the opposition to the tune of to
0 in the grand old game.
The FL Centre aggregation evidently
hadn t fully eradieated 'all the sand
from their eyes before the morning
festivities were over. The volley ball
and tennis events was easily taken by
easterners. At least they were handi-
capped in some manner because the
lIoltville boys and girls had everything
their own way during the morning. BY
the time the l2 clock siren blew they
made the boast that the afternoon s
ball game would be taken with equal
ease. Three hours later they received
the surprise of their young lives.
Pile Up Scores
Taking the advantage of Holtville s
Ioor Unfolding, the local boys piled ur
an avalanche of scores before Holtville
knew what was taking place. In the
7 second frame Paine was allowed to
walk by B. Brown. Kleigel smashed
a long drive to the gardens scoring
Paine. Kleigel ran home on sn error to
third. Thomas also cross the rubber on
an infield hit.
Schlosser's s men found Mr.. Brown q
rather tough customer to hit. With his
dangerous out drop and peculiar slants
he retired 16 men to the bench. The
loose playing of the Holtville infield
proved rather inconsistent with the
pitching and the home boys played
"merry -go-round most of the contest
O'Brien, the young hurler for f
Centre, threw q classy game of bal
during the entire show. The speedy
work of the infield made an ideal com
bination. Nary an error was made
With the exception of the fourth inn
ing, Holtville had more than three men
at bat. All the players either were
retired by o 'Brien s curves or were
thrown out at first.
Goldie Allen won additional glory
when he connected with beautiful
home run in the seventh frame.

BIG THREE WILL
'CLEAN UP
FOOTBALL
Bv HENRY l.. FARRELL

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 27.-Yale, Har-
,ard and Princeton still pet each other
with the notion that there is no place
but Princeton, Harvard and Yale.
Having been told that there is some
thing terribly wrong with football,
Harvard, Princeton and Yale have set
about a cure in their characteristic
fashion.
One of the surest remedies included
is that Yale, Princeton and Harvard
biay only at New Haven, Princeton
and Cambridge, thereby not subjecting
their teams to contamination from the
wicked outside world.
The insinuation is also carried that
those not fortunate enough to attend
Yale, Harvard or Princeton should
come within the fortresses of virtue
thrown around the football fields of the
"big three and see how the game can
be made safe for the innOcents.
Intcrsectional games are also frowned
upon, the suggestion being offered that
Yale, Harvard and Princeton should
care for nothing else but the big three
games.
After holding up Yale, Harvard and
Princeton as the lofty examples of foot
ball perfection, it is rather strange to
see the "doctOrs from the three in
stitutions approve new rule that
would require every athlete to give q
financial statement showing all his
sources of revenue.
No doubt the west and south will be
quite shocked to learn that contain
mated athlete might go to Yale, Har
ward or Princeton.
There seems to be a lot of smoke
| about the necessity of cleaning up foot
ball. Many of the sores that seem to
have been found on the game arc
| imaginary. just because some Illinois
and Notre Dame players went on 6
lark and played in a professional foot
ball game, some are expecting the
wrath of the gods to fall on the nation
The ones that are yelling the lOudest
| about star college athletes getting some
money out of their talents are the
same ones that are doing the same
| thing-cOaches, graduate managers
I both of which classes are commanding
twice the money that Il player can get
| for an occasional game.
If there is anything wrong with the
game perhaps it would be better tt
start giving "baths' to the prOfes
sional coaches and the graduate man
| ayers.
