regular meeting of that body, it was
announced today by Secretary Coyle.
A committee OF three, Ross T. Hick
cox, Ray Edgar and A. H. Kellar, ap-

committees opinion, such a project
would find ready support of suffic-
lent memberships to insure its sue
cess.
Secretary Coyle was instructed to
prepare and forward to Chamber of
Commerce members and others ballots
or questionnaires to provide a record
of public opinion generally on the
proposition. This step was taken, 1t
was explained, so that the matter in
its detail could be placed before the
public. A plan for the construction Of
9-hole golf links and, later on, a
country club house, has been proposed
by a golf expert Of San Diego.
The matter of sign-posting city
streets was brought to the attention
of the board and George E. Boles was
named a committee of one to confer
with the city council on this "neces-
sary Improvement"

retaries, scheduled for Ell Centro, but
a week away, the matter of providing

here in the Valley was acted upon,
and Ell Centre was asked to volunteer
20 automobiles for next Thursday and
Friday afternoons. Calexico has al
ready volunteered to supply sufficient
machines for Saturdays program, 1t

Jack Dempsey, worlds heavy

extraordinary for one possessed of

Putting two and two together,
however, it puts little wind IN the
sails of the Dempsey-Carpentier Sec

Newspapers received today from
London dealt at length with the pro-
iect of Cochran to build a stadium
large enough to accommodate the
Olympic games, great international
fights and the big football matches.
Dempsey, back in New York, says
he has no definite plans but that ne

SEALS WILL HAVE
TWO FULL TEAMS
United Press Iessed wiz.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.--Two
complete teams and Is pitchers will
comprise the Seal squad that will GO
into spring training at Boyes Springs,
where excellent facilities have been
arranged.
The Seals aren't going to have any
easy time of it, as they did last year
at Monterey when bad weather de-
laycd the training greatly.
For one thing, it means a game
every day, and this should put the
Seals in tip-top form to open the
season.
Baseball history records that the
team that takes the lead early in the
season has the long end of the bet
ting when it comes to hauling in the
pennant. An early lead is hard to
overcome. Ard the Seal manage
mcnt is making all preparations to
can jump into the lead not only in
playing ability, but on form.
For another thing, the large Sea-
squad is a guarantee against loafing
even by the vets. 1t means lots OF
competition for the various jobs. AND
it would not be surprising, dopesters
point out, Tor Seyeral OF tae young
sters to show so much that they may
start the season with an old-timer OF
two on the bench. Furthermore, il
is going to give the management a
chance to size up many OF the young
sterS in actual play, without having
to take chance on them when games
count. ys;e
It was expected that Graham
would sell an outfelder or two before
the training commenced, but he has
decided to take them all into train
ing, and to make no deals until after
the teams returns for the annual
series with the Chicago Cubs.
The system is going to give Miller
great chance to look over all avail.
able Seal material, and this is what
Graham wants Miller to do. Which
indicates that Miller is not going tc
be a mere figurehead.
