With Dempsey. Perhaps he is not
good enough TO win tie title, but he
is best qualified TO give the cham
pion a fight.
Gibbons is fast, great boxer and
a fine two handed hitter He is
smaller than the champion, of
course, but ii is 4 smaller man who
is going to take the title away from
Dempsey.
Big men never have given Demp-
sey trouble in the ring and on the
other hand he has always had more
difficulty with L small. fast orpon-
Cnt.
Good managers in these days are
generally regarded TO be managers
who steer their charges clear Of all
dangers and traps in the path.
Harry Greb and Gene Tunney
canned their managers because they
didn't get them hard bouts.
Greb got peeved at George Engle
because he didn't get a chance with
Jack Dempsey and decided to handle
his own affairs.

with "Doc" BagIcr, because the
Doe didn t get him the engagement

SHEIKS COMING
HERE FOR TILT.
ON CITY FIELD
Scorpions at HOltville,
Brawley Burros Take
on CalexicO

Carrying Shanev, considered one
# the best, if not the hes pitcher
in the league, and Lefty Her
man, Pacific Coast Lacquer, the Cal
ipatria Sheiks viii make their first
appearance Of the season in Ell Cen
tro tomorrow, when they come here
70 tackle the Ell Centre lndepend-
ents. The Sheiks made a runaway
race of things III the first half of
the season, and though they have
met with sitter opposition in the
second half, they are still fOrmida-
BILE baseball outfit and any team in
the league will have a tough time
taking game away from them.
Tie Sheiks took game from the
Indepehdcnts in the northern city
on New Years day, and the locals
are hopeful of turning the table ON
them in this city tomorrow. The
Independents have been webbing
along i'm last place but are due to
take a brace and have no better OPP
p0rtunity than tomorrow. a win
over the Sheiks would mean a big
boost to their baseball standing and
with O'Brien in the box and going
right, such thing can be accom-
plished.
Scorpions at Holtville
The Scorpions will be i'll Holtville
tomorrow afternoon, trying to put
the skids under the Orientals and
have good chance Of doing so. OW
ing to the absence of Manager Ellis
from the lineup, due to weakness
from his recent illness, Ethridge, Il
new man from the Texas league will
b" seen in action on second base.
Ethridgc played with the locals last
Sunday and made Il great impress
sion ON the fans and other players
who consider him the best player to
bob up since the locals dug up
Baker.
Steele will be on the mound for
TIE Scorpions with either Murphy Of
Scott on the receiving end. The
Orienta! aggregation is dangerous
one and is certain to keep the locals
travelling at top speed for the full
length of the game in order to come
out ahead.
The third game in the league will
bring the Brawley Burros down to
CaleX;cs- to tangle things UP with
the Camels. \ win by the Scorpions
over the Orientals, and loss by the
CaleXico team, will greatly increase
the lead of the locals and that is
what all loyal fans arc hoping for.
All games in the league start
promptly at 2:30.

WOMAN POLITICIAN WANTS T o GIVE UP
so THAT SHE CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE GOODA
BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIT
NEA Service Staff Writer

YONKERS, y. Y, Feb 3--Jrstice
of the Peace Carrie R. Thomas will
90 before the state legislature
shortly to ask that her job be abol-
ished.
The woman, who WIS the first in
the state to be elected to such an
office and whose townspeople gave
her the largest vote of any candi
date, is willing to torego political
distinction it, by so doing, she can
better the cause of the common
people.
Justice Thomas would have courts
Of Cancellation supersede the office
to which she WAS elected.
=" The office of justice used to
be known as the poor man S court, -
she SAYS, "but | soon discovered
that this was not SO. Hundreds of
persons with small just claims were
obliged to pass them up because
they could not pay the fees.
" Under my plan courts would be
established where litigants would be
given legal advice without charge.
Then, if they still could not settle
their differences, they could carry
them into the higher courts.
II Politics for Good She II Do
The courts of Cancellation would
be open courts, for court paraphcr
Halia is very impressive to certain
types of mind. On the bench would
be enc, two, or three judges who
would serve without pay.
Nearly all small claims are just
ones, but the long waits imposed by
legal processes frequently wori Sc
v.re hardship on the poor.
Although she has three years of
Eer term vet to serve, Justice Fhom-
rs is willing to have the office done
away with at once so that the new
court may be established.
She describes her attitude as char
actcristie of the woman in politics.
