basketball this week the game has
! been postponed.
Walter Wakefield, captain of the
college team, and an old timer in
the game, claims to have one of the
strongest teams ever turned out in
the valley.
The team will line up as follows:
Wakefield, catcher, this is a new DO.

Ken Williams
Himself Here;
Visits Josh

Although FL Centre was unfortu-
nate enough to lose the baseball
game with Calexico Sunday, it was
honored with the presence Of two
real big leaguers as umpires for the
game, one being none other than
"Ken'' Williams of the st. Louis
Americans, the man who swiped
Babe Ruth s crown as the homerun
king Of the American League. and
the other being "Josh - Billings,
team mate of Williams, whom Ell
Centre claims for its own during
the winter season. k
Williams, who is on his way to
st. l4o1is to report for the baseball
season, is making the trip from his
home il Oregon by automobile, and
stopped over in this city to see
'Josh, and the latter induced him
to come out and help him umpire
Sundays game. "Josh' - introduced
the king of the sluggcrs to the
crowd and he was given a big hand
from the assembled fans. While
the teams were changing sides, Bill
ings and Williams enjoyed a game
of catch, and the latter showed re-
markablc Juggling ability with the
( ball, making il do tricks that mysti-
fled the layman.
Regular Guy
If the rest of the St. Louis Browns
are anything like Josh and
"ken,' it is easy to understand
why they make one of the most
popular teams in the big leagues
for both are regular fellows and
there is an entire absence of any.
thing family resembling up stage
about them. Williams expressed his
pleasure at the delightful climate
here, and remarked that ".Iosh
was fortunate in picking out such 4
splendid place to spend the winters
This was his first trip to Imperial
Valley and he hoped he would bt
able to come again.
While here, Williams and his wifi,
were guests of "Josh' and Mrs
Billings, leaving this morning OF
their way east. Josh will be 90
ing east very shortly, rs the Browns
are due TO head for Mobile the las
of this month.

Sport Magnates
Tie Strings to
Ball BankrOll
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
UNITED Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Out of the
$750,000 which the New York Yam
KEGS have invested in eight years in
baseball players, $5OG,00O was vast
ed, according to "Cap' Huston,
part owner of the club.
The "Cap" probably means that
$500,00o worth of ball players turn
cd out to be no good.
From the experience some of the
other clubs have had, however, the
Ianks were fortunate in cashing in
on onc-third of their investments
the way they have cashcd in.
The way high priced ball players
have Of failing to live up to their
price tag has finally brought mag
mates to the point where they have
adopted d policy against spending
huge sums for players.
John McGraw and Huston, two of
the greatest spcndcrs in the busi-
ness, say they VII! never put out
another fortune for players, and
when they stop spending, the spend
ing will stop.
McGraw has coming up next sea-
son, Jimmy O'ConncII, Il young out
fielder from California, for whom
he paid $4,000. If he turns out to
be as good a ball PLAYER as Pep
Young, for whom McGraw paid
5000, his boss probably viii be sat
isficd. He cannot aspire to do bet
ter than iris Speaker, who cost 5000
when he came up.
Willie kamm, u $l25,o00 third
bascman, is coming up next season
TO the White Sox. Young Kamm
will be doing fine in five years if
he is as good Il b;,ll player as Frank
lie Frisch, who cost the Giants his
rar fare from the Bronx.
Several other high priced young
players aro to make their debut
next spring. IF there is cue Cobb
Speaker, SisIcr. liornsby, S5challt OF
Alexander, the combined cost OF
whom wouldn I tempt Il minor league
owner now, in the bunch, the mon
cv will be well spent.
But there won't be. -
AS the club owners are getting of
the big spending idea, they are alst
getting away from trades. This of
season has been one OF the slimmest
Of years for deals. 'H
Only one swap of any importanc,
has been made so far and that tool

Most magnates will not trade un
