Howard Ehmke, Jack Quinn and
Curtis Fullerton are scheduled to
pitch Sundays game for Boston. Bob
Coleman, boss Bear, said Saturday
that he intends to start with Rube
Marshall, follow with Lupe Rodri-
guez and wind up with Clarence
Blethen. Marshall and Blethen were
just recently secured from the Sox,
Marshall being returned after a win
ming season with San Antonio last
summer when he became very popu-
lar locally.
Some fans wondered what business
Dick Reichle had playing first base.
Dick is a first-sacker by trade, if
the truth be known. He cavorted
around base one for Johnny Nee at
Evansville, Ind, practically through
out the 1922 season. The Red Sox,
however, secured him with the under
standing that he would be made into
an outfielder.
George Brovold made some valiant
efforts around third base. He stop
ped two drives which some third
sackers never would have seen. A
slightly muddy field and a badly
swollen stopping hand cramped
Georges style. The one fine stop
he made clearly he threw away TO
right field trying for a double play.

BASEBALL SEASON ON PAC COAST OPENS TODAY
YANKS BETTER
FIXED FOR this
YEARS R ACE

NEW YORK, April S.-With no
changes in the team that has won
the American League championship
three times, running, the New York
Yankees are better fixed perhaps
for the 1924 race than they were last
year.
The team ought to be improved
by the acquisition of confidence
from their decisive victory in the
wcrld series and by Improvement
and experience that they have ac-
quired since.
The real power of the Yankee
club can be realized from the fact
that the club has $4,000 ball play
er, Earl Combs, who may not be
able to break into the lineup. Combs
is an outfieldcr and his only chance
for regular job is to beat out
Whitley Witt for the place in center.
With Pipp, Ward, Scott and
Dugan, the Yankees have one of
the best infield combinations in
the major leagues. Pipp is one of
the finest players in baseball and
it is only meek, retiring disposi-
ton that has prevented him from
getting the credit that is due a
player Of his ability.
Ward ranks next to Eddie Col
Inns as the best second baseman. in
the league. Collins is slipping and
Ward is just getting a good start.
Dugan is the greatest third baseman
in the game. Scott is regarded as
doubtful for another hard season
but the chances are that he will
come again.
Ruth, Witt and Meusel form a
reliable combination in the out
field. Witt is hard working play
or and good off-day man. Moth
ing need be said of Ruth and
Meusel. Their class has long been
established. Schang and Hoffman
will do the bulk of the work be-
hind the bat. Schang isn't young
any more but he is invaluable be-
cause he has worked SO long with
the star pitchers of the staff.
The great strength of the Yanks
is found in the pitching staff with
Hoyt, Jones, Pennock, Bush, Shaw
key and a couple of good youngsters.

If there are any who are doubt
full about the amount of interest
in and the extent of inquiries about
Imperial Valley this spring, they
might drop in at the office of the
secretary of the local Chamber of
Commerce and ask about the daily
correspondence there.
The average week brings approx
imately $50 letters of inquiry about
Ell Centre, Imperial Valley, land
PRICES, climate, opportunities and
almost every kind of question that
could be imagined.
Those who are wondering about
Imperial Valley are not located in
the west only. A large number of
letters come from the east and oc-
casiohally one from abroad.

STRONGER THAN
PREVIOUS YEAR
First Game Between Los
Angeles, Seattle
at l.. A.
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, April 8.-Base-
ball season is on.
Providing the weather bureau 8
predictions of inclemency are not
brought to fruition, the Pacific
Coast League teams viii play their
first games in 1924 today If the
frumpish weather dictator does not
continue his Oregon mist today,
Z Seattle and Los Angeles will start
the opening contest for Southern
California at Washington Park.
A successful race this year is
assured, according to Harry A. Will
liams, president Of the circuit, who
declares that the league as a whole
is 25 per cent stronger than last
year.. He points out that the clubs
are nearer in the same plane, that
is, there seems to be no one team
head and shoulders above the others
as was the case in 1923 when San
Francisco had an easy time winning
the pennant.
"There may be the handicap of
wet weather for the first two weeks,
as this appears to be a late spring,
but there will be ample compensa-
ton in the subsequent prosperity
which rain insures,' Williams said
today
''suds'' Starts Game
a huge crowd is expected at the
local park today, if rain does not
prevent run on the ticket stand.
Business Manager Oscar Reichow of
the Angels intends to challenge ma
ture by dumping a carload or SO of
shavings on the grounds, so that,
if possible, the game may be held III
spite of the moisture.
Wade "Red' Killefer, Seattle
manager, announces that Studs
Sutherland, formerly of Portland
but whose temperament was affect
ed with morbiditv in the Sitting
atmosphere around the Beaver club
house, will start the game for the
Indians.
Marty Krug, Angel pilot, says
that the reliable veteran, Otis
"Docn Crandall will do his fling
ing.
Despite protestations from the
Angel camp that the local~3. hliie
will make short work of the north
erners, most fans are of the opln-
ion Seattle will not only win the
first game but the whole seres.
And they are probably right. From
the first of the season, krug has
been hectically trying to strengthen
his club. Perhaps he's succeeded
and perhaps he hasn t; but on the
face of the evidence, Seattle has the
best of the comparison.
