WATER MEN GAIN
FIRST PLACE in
VALLEY LEAGUE

By defeating the FL Centre Me-
chanics at Imperial yesterday after
noon, the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict team once more obtained a
clean hold on first place in the
Imperial Valley Winter league, while
the Mechanics sank further into last
place with no hope Of getting out.
The Mechanics have not won any
of the eight games they have play
cd, and instead of trying to improve
their standing in the league thoir
only bet now is to try to win a
game before the season ends.
The score yesterday was 0 to 6.
and though the Mechanics played
good ball, the water men were able
to play better ball, and therefore
won. Sicrk, Hardin and Horton
worked for the district team with
Livingston, Rodriguez, Lee and Jcn-
sen toiling for the losers.
Hard luck also pursued the Valley
Steam Laundry team, which was de
fcated on the local grounds by tho
Southern Sicrras Power gang, the
score being II to ). O'Brien and
klicgle performed for the power
men with Dclmontc and Mcclure
doing similar duty for the knights
of the flat IRON"
The Standard Oil and Southern
Pacific teams were idle Yesterday.
Following is the standing of the
