Victory by Central Will
Mean Tie Want
Home Support

Coach Armstrong has his high
school baseball squad indulgihg in
strenuous practice this week. in
preparation for the game with
Calexico in that city Saturday af-
ternoon, when the championship of
the valley for 1925 will be decided.
BY its dafeat Of Brawley last
Saturday, Calcxico established a
clean hold Oh first place Central
is in second place, and by taking
Saturday S game, the local boys
will be TIED with Calexico for the
championship, making play-off
game necessary.
Tho coming game means "A great
deal to Central, and the local boys
are particularly anxious to win it.
During the present school term they
have annexed the football. track
and tennis championships of the
valley, and they wish to take the
baseball championship along with
the other three. Saturday S game
will be, the last athletic event for
many of the local squad under the
blue and white colors, unless Il
play-off is necessary, as quite a
number of the boys are seniors,
playing their last year for Central.
Calexico has Il strong team, but
it is not considered any stronger
than the Central squad, which has
been going great guns in its last
few appearances. Central is strong
on pitchers, and has a good often
sive. The high calibre of it's pitch
ing staff is best demonstrated by
the fact that in the last three
games, only two balls have been
hit to Central's outfield
Want Home Support
With Il chance at the champion
ship looming before them, the
Central students are particularly
desirable to know that they have
the support of the local people, and
in this connection 1T is urged that
all who can do so, attend the game
at CaleXico next Saturday. Ca
leXico is backing its baseball nine
tooth and toenail, and there is no
reason why residents of the county
seat should not show as much con-
Germ about the local athletes, . is
the way one local merchant ex-
