3 MORE WRECKS
BREAK TEDIUM OF
LIFE ON HIGHWAY

No fatalities have occurred in
the past week on the National Old
Trails highway near -Winslow, but
enough accidents of various sorts
have occurred to establish Novem-
Der as "a record month for. such
1mishaps in this locality, with last
weeks many crashes, including the
fatal smash-up which cost the life
of Sylvester Setron of Ell Centro,
California. The most serious ac-
cident of the week occurred near
Ashfork Sunday night, when Mr..
and Mrs. ]. B. Drumm and their
daughter, Ida, of WinSlOw, narrow
ly escaped death or serious injury
when their car overturned.
1t was at first thought that Mrs.
Drumm was dangerously injured,
and she was rushed to the hOspi
tai at Gallup, but X-Rays disclos-
ed the fact that no bones were
fractured, and attending physici-
ans declared Mrs. Drumm to be
out of danger. - 49,
The Drumms were returning from
California. where Mrs. Drumm and
her daughter have been visiting
for some time A sharp turn in
the road near He'll Canyon caused
the overturning of the car. I'm
able to negotiate the turn, the ma
chine sweFved off the road, and
while it did. not completely go over
it was at such an angle that the
top of the machine, a sedan, was
torn away by an overhanging bank.
Mrs. Drumm and Miss Drumm
we're thrown from the car. Two
men, living in a station just above
the scene of the wreck, came to
their aid at once, and passing mo-
torists took Mrs. Drumm to Ash
fork.
Mr.. Drumm drove the damaged
machine to that city, and from
there went directly to Gallup on
the Santa Fe, Miss Drumm stopping
in Winslow.
George Lumpkins of Winslow
was badly cut when sedan in
which he was riding turned turtle
on the highway west of Winslow.
His injuries were not considered
dangerous, but were serious enough
to warrant his being removed to
the Santa Fe hospital in Los An
geles.
An element of comedy entered
into another wreck of Sunday night
when a heavy touring car got out
of control Sunday night and dash
ed through a cabin at the Harris
Camp Ground at the east end OF
town. demolishing the frail struc-
ture in approved slapstick fashion.
The car, which is owned by K.
r. Simon, was driven by 'Dichle'
Woods. Winslow school girl. Yer
non Simon, son of the owner OF the
machine, and Garland Caldwell
were the other occupants. Forum
ately, none were injured.
According to witnesses, the car
left the highway at the second
curve east of here, and made its
way to the cabin in series OF
jumps. 1t was said that the tracks
showed jumps of ten feet when the
car was not touching the earth at
any of it's four corners.
The cabin, luckily unoccupied,
made a poor buffer for the tour
ing car. The machine went com
pleteIy through both walls of the
little building, and spread cabin
furniture over considerable area
in the camp ground.

Brisbane Gives

Arthur Brisbane, rated as Amer

LEWIS FAVORED
OVER ROSALES
in MAIN EVENT

Boxing fans who recall how Ernie
Lewis made Harry Reiter look like ii
novice in the fight here a few weeks
ago, are using this fact as basis
for figuring Lewis to win over
Richey Rosales tomorrow night.
Reiter came here with a reputation
of being a punch 'em dead mauler,
but he never did get started against
the clever Lewis who swarmed all
over him, taking the bout with ease.
Lewis was 50 much ahead of his OPP
ponent that the former did not
look as good as when he fought
frankie Boldt earlier in the season.
Rosales, like Reitcr, is rcputed to
have q wallop that has put several
well known mittslingers in the
northern part of the state out of the
running. If he can make Lewis ex-
tend himself, the fans will be salts
fled, for watching the Tucson boy
going at top speed is considerable
pleasure for the fan who likes good
boxing.
Word comes over the underground
telegraph that Benny Chavez is not
in the least awed by Tommy Shull s
imposing record of recent victories
and that the former expects to show
the Ell Centre red head a thing or
two when they meet in the semi
final tomorrow.
Shull Should Win
On the dopesheet it looks as
though Shull ought to cop the de-
cision, being harder hitter and
equally as clever as Chavez. The
only drawback to a sure victory for
Tommy is his condition. He de
clarcs he is training right for the
fight, and will have no difficulty i'll
case the row should go the limit.
Battling johnson is another boy
who is paying strict attention to his
training these days. realizing that
he will be just about done around
here if he does not take Young So
lano for a trimming tomorrow night.
The poor showing the Tamarack bat
tier made last week drops him down
into the prelim class until he shows
something better. The johnson OF
few months ago would have had
an easy time with Solano. but the
johnson who looked so bad against
Andy Brooks last week would look
equally as bad against Kid Mex
young brother.
Homer Gaines is all set for the
opener with Kid Lefty, and the kld
will have to be good to get by the
clever Imperial colored boy.

being the score five years ago when
Brawley downcd Central, and history
is expected to repeat itself.
The Brawley team is heavy
one, composed almost entirely of
veterans. They have one husky
lineman carrying around 225 pounds
of avoirdupois and he is enough to
make trouble for several of the
lighter Central men.
Rooters Wanted
Coach Armstrong is confident that
his squad can put up a hard fight
against Brawlcy and neither he nor
the players are at all concerned by
the dark picture Brawlcy is paint
ing.
One way to help Central to win is
to have the team accompanied by a
large squad of rootcrs, not only
from the school but from the entire
city. Brawley makes it a point to
back its high school teams to the
limit. When the team is licked,
Brawley is licked, and when the
team wins, Brawlcy wins.
FL Centre should have the same in
tcrcst in Central and the sporting
editor of the Press urges every FL
Centran who can do so to get to
Brawley on Saturday afternoon and
help the local eleven to turn the
trick on Brawley. The game will be
called at 2:30 p. N.

The meeting was planned and
called by II. l.. Boyd of Los Angc-

to attend one meeting.
Several speakers will talk at the

FLETCHER THIRD
MAJOR MANAGER
TO BE DROPPED
Philly Pilot Given His
Release After Five
Tough Years.
By PAUL w. WHITE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Major lea
que managers are looking to their
jobs.
Since the close of the 1926 cam
paign three managers have been no.
titled that their services will be no
longer required George Sisler re-
ceivcd his walking papers from the
st. Louis Browns; Bill McKechnie
was let out by the Pittsburgh Pr
ates and now Arthur Fletcher has
been released from the Philadelphia
Phillies.
Whether there will be more new
faces in directorial posts next sea
son is not yet known. At one time
the report was rampant that Wilbert
Robinson, leader Of the Brooklyn
Robins, would leave the flatbush
fold, but this met with denial
from club officials and Robinson
himself
Successors to Sislcr, McKcchnic
and Fletcher have not as yet been
appointed. 1t is believed that the
Phillies may be managed next year
by "Stuffy" McInnis, veteran first
baseman let out by Pittsburgh at the
close of the season.
OF the three managers who have
received the blue envelope, Fletch-
er is perhaps the one to be the most
pitied. He has worked hard to give
Philadelphia a first division club in
the National league but has received
little help from club officials in the
way of satisfactory expense account
for the purchase of new players.
He has managed the club since
1927 and has at times provided a
scrappv lineup, but one which was
unable to win ball games.
One leader who has been criticized
numerically by the fans in past
seasons apparently has won a respite
Since 1929 Miller Huggns, manager
of the New York Yankees. has been
the target for many caustic remarks
But the Yankees success i'll the
season just completed silcnced many
of Huggins critics and the faith
which Colonel Jacob Rupert always
has placed in the pint sized manager
was justified.
OF all the managers in the big
leagues there is one whose job is
safe. It is 100 to ! bet that Rog
crs Hornsby will be leading the St.
Louis Cardinals next scasOn-and NO
takers. S-
