Wrigley Wants
to Make Good
With His Boys
BY United Press

LOS ANGELES, Feb. S.-Los An
gcles is going TO have ball team
this coming season that will make
al the rest Of the Pacific Coast
League clubs jump to keep up with
it, according to William Wriglcy, .Jr,
who has arrived here from the east
"Percy Jones, the right handler
who was turned over by the Cubs to
the local club is going to be the star
Of the league Wrigley predicted.
" All he needs is plenty of work, and
Wade Killifer says he will see that
Jones is given what he needs.
Last year the Angels lost Statz
and Aldridge, which put a big dent
in the club. This season only Nick
Dumovich goes TO the majors, and
the men sent to the club in exchange
will more than make up for the loss
of the young left handler. killifer
says that he has a good lineup now,
but if he needs more players all he
has to do is to say thc-word.
"Thcrc will be number of new
faces in the Chicago squad when it
arrives here, and some of them, |
am told, are bound to make the team
the first crack out of the box.
Things look good for both the Cubs
and the Angels.'

Scorpions to
Cinch Pennant
Sunday-Maybe

Sundays game with the Calexico
Camels will be the most decisive one
Of the whole schedule for the Ell
Centre Scorpions, for on a victory
Sunday, depends the winning of the
championship of the Imperial Valley
Winter League for the second half
sof the season. A win over Caiexico
will put the Scorpions sufficiently
ahead of the Camels so the former
can lose the game with Calipatria
on the following Sunday and still
come out ahead of all competitors.
AS the standing is now, the Scor-
pions are one full game ahead of the
Camels, their nearest rivals, and a
win over them Sunday will put them
two games ahead, so that defeat
by Calipatria on the following Sun
day, even IL the Camels should win
their game, will still aliew the Scor-
pions a sufficient margin to cntitle
them to the pennant
Camels Good Team
Manager Donovan of the Camels
has a well-balanced team, and is
placing his hopes for u victory in
Case, the star twirler Of the Camels,
who has been winning consistently
all season. The Camels slaughtered
the Brawley Burros last Sunday, and
against the slants served up by Case
the. boys from the north were help
less. A win over the Scorpions
would be very much to the liking of
the CaleXico boys, for they have
been smarting under the defeat ad
ministered to them several weeks
ago when the Scorpions ran hog wild
in the border town and put the skids
under the Camels.

Joe Steele will do the hurliug for
the Scorpions Sunday and should be
able to pull through u winner will

Lines Injure
All Athletics
By HENRY L. FARRELL
(United Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, Feb. Saint of
commcrciaiism, the greatest evil of
sports, is not confined TO professions
al activities Its influence ard its
bad effect are beginning to be felt
in amateur athletics.
Paul II. Henning, chairman Of the
registration committee of the central
A. 4. [. district and one Of the most
active supporters of amateur atillet-
les in the United States, recently
suspended ,Ioic Ray because the fam
ous little middle-distancc runner had
participated in an unauthorized box
ing tournament.
Big athletic clubs in New York
which were planning to feature the
appearance of Ray at their winter
meets protested. Hcnning was over
rulcds Ray was reinstated and Hen
ming resigned.
lleming declared it was Il ques.
ton of gate receipts and that viola-
tion Of the rules was not considered.
Until the big clubs began to fail
for the temptation of the "gatc, =
amateur track and field athletics
under the jurisdiction of the A. A.
L. were the best governed sport in
the world 1t is still an efficient orr
ganization. 1t has been criticized
for autocratic measures at times, but
strict discipline requires strict mcth-
DDS.
The A. A. L. is still wise and
scrupulous supervisor of the athlete,
but it should apply the same Jealous
attention to the clubs.
TO give an example of the lines
of distinction drawn between the
athletes and the clubs, a rcccEt in
cidcnt is recalled. Several big clubs
advertised and drew big crowds on
the promise that many star athletes
would compete. The stars failed to
appear and the crowds naturally pro-
tested with yclls of "'thc bunk. -
Loren Murchison, Jack ScholA and
Sol Bullet, three prominent athletes,
were summoned to appear before the
registration committee and explain
why they did not appear, 1t dcvcl-
oped that none of them had signed
an entry blank and that the club
Lad used their names without their
permission.
Scholz claims that it is not the
first time that he has been made the
victim of such practices.
Instcad of being so ever ready to
plaster Il suspension ON an athletes,
the A. A. U. ought to give some of
the club officials a vacation.

SAME OLD WEATHER

Those who have gone back late in
life to view the hills of their boyhood
invariably have been disillusioned.
The impression made on their i'm
mature minds had been vivid and had
not lessened with the years. When
compared with the actual later in
HE the tricks which an imaginative
recollection played upon the observer
were revealed.
A like condition may explain the
stories handed down respecting the
New England winters of Ions ago. of
the cold days, of the big storms, of
the deep drifts. We hear those and
accept them nearly all, and de-
rive, we fancy, little comfort in at
tempting to disprove them. But the
truth is mighty and Will prevail-if
we all lend Il hand.
Meteorological Hayes of the weather
station at st. Louis declares that
taken over a long period there is
comparatively little change in the
weather. The record shows that we
have some winters that are colder
and some summers that are hotter,
but these so rarely occur that they
do not change the average. But we
don't need any meteorologist TO tell
us that this winter has 4 heavy fall
of snow and plentiful cold weather,
is very unlike last winter, for in
stance, and it is to be hoped is diff
fcrcnt from that of next year.
