Regarding Municipalities


Investigation of the several muni.
cipal organizations of Imperial
county has been confined largely 10
examination of audits and city
clerk reports. Brawley expended for
the year 1928 $4,000 less than
for 192l22 and Calexico $4,000 less
during the same period. III Centre,
however, increased its expenditures
by $4,000.
With an assessed valuation con
siderably in excess of Calexico, and
double that Of Brawlcy, the report
states, that the cost Of municipal
government in the county seat
would seem exeessivelyhig as com
pared to the costs in other cities Of
the county. During the past three
years tax rates in the cities show
a tendency TO decline. Brawley lev
led. isuccessively, $1.80, $40 and
$1.60; Calexico $1.4O, $1.14 and rs
cents while Ell Centre has fdh q
trifle under Brawley with $1.67,
$l.55 and $1.55.

series with Tuscaloosa High school here
this afternoon by collecting IS hits and
9 bases on balls off the combined de-
livery OF four Tuscaloosa pitchers for
q victory Of 8 to 2. Lanier had lost
to Tuscaloosa on Friday by a score of
to 8, largely due to the wildness of

The feature OF the game was q triple
steal in the second inning. A free
pass, three singles and a second walk
had scored q couple of runs and filled
the bases for Lanier when Kirkland,
Kaminaky and Williamson pulled the
steal. This so exasperated the pitcher
that he walked the next man, again
filling the; bases, but a timely fly to
the outfield ended the agony.

GEORGIA TECH
BLANKS AUBURN
IN SECOND GAME
Vicente Collins And SitZ
Both Pitch Well
Saturday

AUBURN. Ala, April 5.-(Special)
Georgia Tech made it unanimous and
took two to nothing victory in the
last game of the series here today. The
game was a remarkable improvement
over the first game of the series played
Friday afternoon. "Weenie" Collins,
pitching for Teach, was working his
first game of the season and showed
considerable form, allowing only three
hits to the Tiger batters. Sitz, al
though giving up seven hits, kept the
bingles scattered in such fashion as to
hold the score to a minimum figure.
Both pitchers went all the way.
Hits For Homer
Techs first marker came when Joe
Jennings, West Point lad and Tech
right fielder. poled long distance clout
into deep center for a home run. The
Jackets other score came in the sixth
when Albright hit safe to center after
which he went to second on Yeoman's
scratch infield hit; Collins and Jennings
struck out, Denicks walked; Albright
scored on passed ball to Davis. After
Palmasino had gone to first on balls
Baum hit to Maury who put Palmasino
out at second and retired the visiting
batsmen with all the sacks populated.
The Tigers threatened to undo Techs
progress on two occasions during the
game, The first came in the fifth when
Maury got a two sacker to right and
Self sacrificed him to third but was
stopped at third when Harrison flew
out to right making it three away.
Again in the seventh it looked as il
the score might be tied two and two.
Captain Griffin hit long one TO CEN
ter only to have his prospective homer
snagged down on a phenomenal catch
by Yeoman whose leaping stop spelled
gasping moment in the crowded
bleachers. Allen was on first when the
spectacular catch stopped short the
Tiger efforts.
Three double plays were put on dur
ing the game, Auburn getting one while
the Georgian copied pair of the two
way features. Techs first double came
in the fourth when Morgan stopped
Fancher en- route to second and put
Allen out at first in the seventh Nor
gan and Denicke again stepped into
the limelight with a double. Morgan
caught Fancher out and put Maury out
at first. Auburn's tow timer came in
the final inning when Reeves hit to
Stewart at third who threw to Maury
at second putting out Baum and re-
firing the side.
In addition to jennings homerun
Baum and Denicke found Sites offer
ings for two safeties. Stewart, for
Auburn, registered a pair of hits for the
orange and blue records. Sells fielding
in the left sector was good and he
halted a number of long ones from
