Miss Swanson has developed

RICHARD TRIES TO MATCH WILLS
MEXICALI BEATS
CALIPATRIA WITH
SHANEY AS STAR

With Bud Shaney on the mound,
and going like the proverbial ''house
a fire." Mexicali had little trouble
beating Calipatria yesterday after
noon, at McxicaIi, the final score
being 10 to 0. In addition to pitch
ing good ball, SEaney got three hits,
and was easily the star for the Pala-
clos.
The Palacics got to Mitchell, the
Calipatria pitcher, for three runs in
the first inning, and piled on four
more i'll the second. When the Pala-
clos started hitting him again in the
third, he was derricked, and Bill
Tackett of FL Centre, who was play
ing the Calipatria outfield, was call
ed to his relief. Bill lays no claim
to being pitcher but he managed
to blank the Palacios in the fourth.
They got to him for three runs in
the fifth and Bill then checked them
until the seventh when they scored
one run. In the eighth the Palacios
kept swatting everything Bill pitch
ed to them, and the Calipatria out
field was nearly exhausted from
chasing flies.
Tackett was easily the star for the
Calipatria team. He got three hits
and with the rottenest kind of sup
port, got by with seven innings of
pitching. Stub Baker, also a former
Ell Centre player, made three hits
and performed brilliantly in the
outfield. Outside of these two play
ers, also Bently and the first base
man, Calipatria was woefully weak
and had no chance to slaughter
Shaney, who was their star pitcher
last year.
A large crowd saw the game, in
Guiding a big delegation from FL
Centre who rooted hard for Bill
Tackett when he went on the firing
