Imperial Valley press., 1925-05-18

{ ley in football, basketball,
track, tennis and baseball.
This is the splendid record
I hung up by the athletes at Cen
! tral Union high school during
I the 1924-25 scholastic year, the
/ first time in the history of the
/ valley that any high school has
/ taken the honors in all five
sports.
The baseball championship
was won at Brawley Saturday
afternoon, when the local team
defeated Calexico in play-off
game for the seasons title. Cen
tral took the gams, to 2, and
at no time were the local boys
! in danger, although CaleXico
/ was threatening at all times to
start a rally that would mean
trouble for the blue and white
squad.
Smarting under the defeat Of the
previous week, which enabled Cen
/ tral to tie up the league standing,
. Calexico went to Brawley determin-
F.. ed to win the game and the cham
pionship.
Credit for winning Saturday S
game must be given to every man
ON the squad, and to Coach Arm
| strong, who directed the play OF
the team from the bench. At times
when the boys were tempted to lag,
he spurred them on, and kept them
fighting through to the end.
An outfielder by profession, Earl
! Willoughby played star game at
first, jumping into the breach
when the regular first baseman was
unable to play. Earl handled q mum,
Der of difficult chances well, and
helped out with the bat.
Bobbie Allen at second, and Carl
Miller at short formed snappy
/ keystone combination. Miller lean
/ ed heavily on the stick Saturday,
/ getting three hits. and Allen man
aged to work the CaleXico pitchers
| for q couple of walks. then pester-
ed the life out of them on the base
/ lines.
Fansher Does Good Work
F.. Fansher. who started the season
| as a pitcher, and wound up Il third
! basaman. made his mark III the third
inning Of Saturdays s game by hand
ling three difficult chances i'll excel
/ lent fashion, two of them being for
force outs when the bases were
loaded. A slip at that time would
have meant plenty of trouble for
! Central.
The outfielders, Sawyer, Shawn
and Kaieyama, were very much III
Saturday game. In addition to
socking the pill, Sawyer made q
wonderful shoestring catchs OF
/ Heath 5 line drive in the fifth, and
later in the game cut off sure
: two base hit at second with Won
derful throw. Shawn, though going
hitless, covered plenty of territory
in center and made several hard
catches. Kaieyama, patrolling right
in place of Willoughbv, PLAYED a
mighty good game and proved a
difficult man for the CaleXico
beavers to pitch to. Following is a
