ORATORY STOPS
ATHL ETICS IN
LEAGUE AGAIN

With Brawley High appealing the
decision of the valley Intcrscholastic
Athlete League in the basketball
contest to the c. /. E.,and with
Principal C. +. Collins of Imperial
personally fighting for his team at
c. i. f. headquarters, there is some
doubt of the outcome of the valley
basketball contest.
After Brawley failed to show up
for the game ordered to be PLAYED
against Imperial here last Saturday
when encouragement was given by
the c. |. r., it is not known whether
or not the game scheduled for Satur.
day here will be played. Central
High is to play one or the other
teams for championship, but until
the argument is settled there is Il
doubt as to which it will be.
Whilethe boys teams are con.
testing, the girls of Central High s
champion basketball team will play
Yuma High here Friday. There is
much interest in the game and Cen.
trail girls are sure of victory, they
declare.

SPORTS
Hold Lead Here;
Gains Made by
Holtville Nine

AS result of the Sunday games
in the Imperial Valley Winter
League, the lead has once more re-
turned to FL Centre, the Scorpions
row having clean hold on first
place which they are determined to
hold until the close of the season.
As the club standings read today,
FL Centre has the only teams that
are not tied up with some other
team for the positions they hold.
The Scorpions are firmly cntrench-
cd in first place, and the indie
pendents much more firmly imbedied
in last place. OF the rest Of the teams
Calexico and Calipatria are tied for
second place and Brawley and Holt
Vile for third place.
With such close race, and the
teams switching leadership so often,
the league should receive better
support than it has been getting re-
Gently and the fans owe it to the
players to get out and back them up
with their presence. Any one of the
three leading teams has a good
chance to win the championship, and
the players are deserving of all the
encouragement they can get.
Big Game Sunday
Right now the Holtville Orientals
are playing one of the strongest
games in the league. The eastern
boys got of ITO slow start, but
the material has always been there
and their defeats have been by
small margins. In beating Calipat-
tria two weeks ago, they managed
to do something that other teams
supposed to be much stronger, were
unable to do. They play the Scor-
pions in Holtville next Sunday, and
it should be game worth going
miles to sec. 1t should even be worth
the bunny trip from Ell Centre to
Holtville. The Scorpions want to
keep out in front. and the Orientals,
always dangerous, will be more
dangerous than ever before.

Few Changes in
Big Leagues as
Trading Is Slow
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Most Of
the major league managers are not.
satisfied over the material they
have to work with next season, but
the. majority will start with practic-
ally the same clubs they had last
year.
The two champion clubs will start
the season with Just about the same
lincups they had in 1922.
John McGraw says he is satisfied
with his worlds champion Giants
and the world probably will rise up
and remark" Why shouldn t he
.be?'
The National League champions,
however, will have two newcomers
Jimmy O'Connel and Jack Bentley,
who cost the club close to 100000
What this pair will DO to earn their
price will be one of the features
of the season.
If the Yankees succeed in getting
Eddie Collins from the White Sox,
they ought to be much improved
win the 1923 pennant.
Collins at second, Bib Falk in the
outfield and one of the young Sox
pitchers in reserve, would not make
the ,Yanks the losers even if they
have to part with Meusel, Ward and
Hoyt.
With Collins at second, the Yanks
would have an infield almost as
good as McGraw's million dollar
combination and with Falk in the
garden, the American League
champs would have at least one field
er.
Jake Daubcrt s decision' to re-
tire if he doesn't get the salary that
Garry Hermann says he will not give
him will force Pat Moran to make
q change in his infield. The Red
Leader probably will put Fonsaca
on first, if Daubcrt does not report,
and it would be fortunate move
as John McGraw thinks that F'on-
SEGA is one of the best first base
prospects in baseball.
-
The Pittsburg Pirates are still
looking for Il second baseman. Bill
MCKENZIE would like to get Sam
BOhne from Cincinnati, but after
Barney Dreyfuss started the rollers
under RUDE Benton when Garry
Herman had the deal closed for
him, it is not likely that the Red
chieftain will be inclined to do
anything under those conditions.
iris Speaker is working SO in
dustriouslv with the can that the
Cleveland Indians may have to ster
ont in April with 4 brand new team
iris obviously expects a lot of
youngsters to make good.
Ty Cobb will have a stronger
team in Detroit with Del Pratt on
second base and Rip Collins on the
pitching staff.
Everyone knows what kind of q
good ball player Pratt is and Collins
is lust waiting for someone to force
Ills talent out Of him. Cobb may be
that one.
Chances of the st. Louis Browns
depend in large part of what form
tie pitchers show down through the
stretch. The team is no better as a
whole than it was last season and
no team is going to win the pennant
on last years form.
Signing of Frank 'Husk' Chance
rs manager and the spirited bidding
he made for ice Boley and Max
bishop, two of the Baltimore stars,
might be taken as an indication that
Harry Frazee had decided to make
team of the Boston Red Sox, in
stead of bargain counter. Boston
fans will rise ell masse and veil
"lt's about time!'
