There was one deplorable thing con-
cernine the basket ball game Friday
evening between the Dolores first team
and Mancos second team that the
editor of the school notes does not
mention, and that is the fact that the
referee went rotten" early IN tne
f;rst half. After a succession of un-
fair decisions the audience began to
hiss and hoot him, this made him angry
and he called fouls for the hooting.
Schools should not send men out with
their teams who do not possess enough
real sportsmanship to give every con-
testant an equal chance regardless OF
results.

FIRST RANGER
GAMING CASE
! IS POSTPONED
Defense Claims That Case
Not Called in Proper
Manner.
SET WEEK AHEAD
Think 1t Fair to City,
Rangers and Defendants
to Try Case This Summer.

Trial of Lennie Anderson and u.
X. Carver, charged by indictment with
exhibiting n gaming table and bank,
was passed until next Wednesday. Au-
gust %. when called in the Ninety
fourth District Court "Wednesday
morning. The cases were passed at the
request of Dave Watson and c. NJ.
Chambers, attorneys for the defend
ants. on the ground that the cases
had not been set in the proper man.
ner and that they had not been given
sufficient time TO summon their Wit
nesses.
Mr.. Watson. in arguing that the
cases be passed. declared that it was
unfair to the defendants TO set the
cases hurriedly without giving proper
notice. Notice of the settings. Mr..
Watson said, were not published until
Monday, if then. He attempted on
Friday. he said. to ascertain if the
cases were set but the clerk of the
court was unable to inform him as
the papers were in the district attor-
ncy's office. adding that the "district
attorneys office is not a proper place
for the papers"
Rangers Are Transient"
Furthermore. Mr.. Watson said. ii
was his understanding that the SUE
mer court was to try Jail eases. As
Sistant District Attorney W. L. Ma
haffey insisted that he had telephonej
defense attorneys that the case had
been SET.
Judge McCrory suggested that the
cases should 20 TO trial because some
of the witnesses are rangers and are
transient" c. VI. Chambers brought
forth a laugh by remarking that Il
understand the rangers have moved
here permanently" Fred Russi. clerk
of the court. stated that Judge W.
j. Jeffries. who. on last Friday set
the cases. had later had him scratch
them off the docket when he learned
that Judge McCrory had been trying
only Jail cases.
Fair to Both Sides.
Judge McCrory suggested that "the
rangers have been here and the city
has had great deal of publicity.
and that it was only fair to both the
city and rangers that one of ahese
gambling cases be tried.
The court finally made the settings
for next Wednesday. the district at
torney's office agreeing.

New Record in
Lettuce Shipment

What is believed to be the 1928
record for lettuce shipments from
Imperial Valley, was established
Yesterday, when 164 carloads were
shipped, exceeding by 10 the pre-
viouy high record of Wednesday,
when ia carloads were shipped.
Although approximately 100 ears
have been ordered for today, it is
not believed they will all be used,
according to e. w. Runge, of the
Southern Pacific Company, yester.
days record is likely TO stand for
the balance Of the season.
Fear of a possible rain which
would destroy a large percentage of
the fully matured lettuce, induced
the growers and shippers to work at
top speed ali day yesterday and
spurred- them on TO the new high
water-mark. i" Shipment of 1874
cars represents 52,4S9 crates, there
being 800 crates to the carload.
Figuring an average of i8 heads TO
the crate, makes grand total of
2,jlj,200 heads Of lettuce, which
is almost sufficient to give every
man, woman and child in the state
an entire head of Imperial Valley s
finest.
