Initial Game in Mexico
Strong Teams Promise

Tomorrow will mark the opening
of the five game series between tn,
Palacios of Mexicali and the +
| Centre Scorpions in the border city
game to be played each Sunday
following, alternating between the
| two cities. Joe Flores, manager OF
the Palhcios, has gathered together
some of the best ball tosserS in Mex
leo and has succeeded in building
up team that is worthy rival OF
the champion team of two wears age
when Mexicali nosed out all entries
in the Imperial Valley Winter
League.
This past year, Mexicali was not
in the league, therefore set about
building up a league of its own,
and many hard disputed games were
played between the MeXicah teams
and those from Andrade, Yuma,
and other cities. OF the teams de-
veloped at Mexicali, there is not a
question that the Palacios are the
best of all. There is not weak
spot in the team, and having played
together all season, the players
work like Q well-oiled. machine.
Called at 2 p. m.
The game tomorrow will be called
at . O'Clock and preparations are
being made to handle good sized
crowd. All Mcxicali will turn out
to root for the favorite team. in

members of his staff, all of whom
are good baseball fans, The people
of Mexicali have supported their
teams Loyalty all season, and could
givesome valuable lessons in this
connection to many Americans.
RAY Ellis, who will act as man
ager of the Ell Centre team, is de-
sirous of having as many people
from Ell Centre and other valley
towns attend the games, so as tc
show the Palacios that the FL Cen
tro boys have the backing of the
folks on this side of the line. The
Ell Centre lineup as printed in the
Press earlier in the week, is un-

make the Palaeios hustle all the
way in order 10 come out winners.
The grounds in Mexicali are sit

BRIN CINC new
LUBRICANT TO
IMPERIAL VALLEY
Friction Eliminated BY
Mixture of Graphite
and Oil

Edward G. Aeheson, the man who
FIRST produced earborundum and
made it famous as the greatest
agent of artificial friction, and who
is conceded to have created greater
industries through his discoveries
than any eleetro-chenist living,
strangely enough, produced the very
opposite of his carborundun III
Oildag, a lubricant, now being
placed upon the Los Angeles mar
ket.
oildag was developed from Doe
tor Acheson 8 discovery of a me-
thod by which graphite could be
broken down into such minute par
ticIes that even under high power
ed microscopes the tiny forms ap-
pear to be but spots of light. Mix
ed with Aeheson oil, this defloccu'
lated graphite tends to build a
sheath upon the metal surfaces with
which it comes in contact, thus
preventing one surface from hub
binc upon the other and virtually
eliminating all friction.
Proves Test
The series of exhaustive tests
that Oildag has been put to in the
East by the big railroads in their
locomotives, by publishing plants
in their presses, by auto stsge lines
and great factories, have proven
this lubricant TO provide greater
resistance 10 the costly wear and
tear Of friction than any product
ever made, the distributors claim.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
for one, tested Oildag in the high
and low pressure cylinders of a
riant locomotive. Usually these To-
comotives cut the cylinders 70
pieces, almost, in about ten round
trips. After oildag had been sub.
stituted for the lubricant that had
been used the scoring and cutting
of the cylinders was reduced to
five one -thousandths Of an inch IL
thirty-one trips. And the bui'
rings which usually were worn
down on similar runs TO from sic
TO 7.16 Of an inch, were not not
worn a bit.
Great for Autos
Oildag gives the motorist the
same service in an automobile.
In an automobile engine, for ex
ample, the graphite leaves the OF
at the temperature Of the crans
case and attaches itself to all eX
posed metal. To all intents ant
purposes it becomes a part of th'
cylinder walls and other exposes
metal surfaces. II can only be re
moved by cutting away the surface

connecting rod bearings, wrist pin
and bushings, cam shaft bearing

surface, and IL put one ,nolecul
