for the unequal score of the game.
The Bull Dodgers were going rather
strong, however, and might have been
able to beat the Mohawks had all
their players been present. Monge,
Romero, Alvarez and Jacks were some
of the best the Bull Dodgers had in
the game.
The Cubs scored first in the second
game, but were unable to hold the
hard hitting Badgers. The Cubs
support was not quite as strong as the
Badgers. The Cubs made three er-
rors during the nine innings, while
the Badgers made only one. Bob
Silvas allowed 10 hits, while Vickers
allowed nine. Blackburn OF the CUPS
had a perfect day, getting a hit ana
three walks out Of four times at the
bat. with perfect fielding record for
the game. Shropshire, Jacks and
Jordan were going best for the
Badgers.

CANTAL0UPE MEN
WILL TALK OVER
DECISIVE STEP

What is believed by prominent
cantaloupe men may develop into
one of the most important turns
ever taken by the industry-that
of securing the movement of all f.
o. b. cash sales through the medium
of a cooperative organization-will
be discussed at big meeting OF
melon growers and shippers on
Wednesday afternoon. The meet
ing has been called for 2 p. N. at
the Hotel Barbara Worth, and all
men interested in the deal are in
vited to attend.
The new organization, which is
known as the "Imperial Valley
Cantaloupe Growers Exchange"
will function upon lines which have
already proven both practical and
successful, having been applied by
the onion growers in Texas for sew
eral seasons, and by the California
Fruit Growers Exchange in this
state.
"The purpose of the exchange, I"
said Claude A. Brown, well known
produce man who has had first
hand experience with this method in
connection with the Texas onion
deal, "is to secure, assimilate and
distribute information regarding
the cantaloupe market.
Terminal market information, de-
mand, movement and general feel
ing will be used as a basis for the
operations of the exchange, which
will not function unless rs per cent
or more Of the tonnage can be Sc
cured. In this event, several out
side men will be in different parts
of the valley throughout the entire
season, visiting the packing sheds
and insisting on high standard of
quality for the pack to be handled
by the organization.
Because of its knowledge, the ex-
change will be in a position to put
the marketing of Imperial Valley s
cantaloupes on stabilized basis.
Growers are unanimous this season
in their opinion that something
must be done" to stabilize the sell.
ing end of the valleys big deal.
Specific details of that "some-
thing" will be planned at Wednes-
days meeting, which promises to
be of outstanding Importance to the
growers and shippers, and the en-.
tire valley as well.

CONVICTS WIN
LONG BATTLE
AGAINST FLOOD
By Z. W. LEWIS

NEW ORLEANS, May 90. -
Twelve hundred convicts today
were heroes of the McCrae levee
battle-a contest in which man
pitted his strength against the ele
mcnts at seemingly hopeless odds.
The prisoners may win, engineers
hoped today, after they had insist
Cd since Thursday that the wall of
the Atehafalaya river would go out
st any moment.
The result Of the superhuman ef
forts of inmates of the state prison
farm at Angola, aided by approx.
mately 1000 free negroes, is a bar
rier of sand bags, 30 feet high and
almost as wide. Water sloshed
near the top of the temporary le-
wee, but 50 far the dixie had held
back a flood which threatened to
inundate parts OF six parishes in

PACIFIC CROSSING NEXT GOAL
FOR AVIATORS TO ATTEMPT

safety Of planes consistent with
weight carrying capacity. With
some further exnerience in long dis.
tancn flights with heavy loads. tho
feasibility of the Pacific
flioht can be safely predicted.
Other authorities agreed too that
with the north pole covered' the
Atlantic crossed from New York to
Paris, and the western hemisphere
crossed and criss,crossed by Ameri.
can planes, the Pacific again will
engross the imagination of flight
promoters.
One notable effect of the Lind
bcrph success will be to re-awaker
confidence in the great efficacy of
stunt flights in promoting the ran
id DEVELOPMENT of commercial avia
ton, officials said. The unparallel
ed world wide enthusiasm over the
New York to Paris flight will be E
stimulus to officials and private
nr"'noters as we'll as aviators, it is
believed.
During the spring several prof
ects. including one bv Lindbergh
himself. have been under considera.
tion for flight from the Pacific
coast to Hawaii. One of these had
been in abevancn for lnok of finan.
cial support. This difficulty, 1t is
believed, may now easily be over
come. .e.r-n &c.,, .e......-.
Within the last year naval avia-
tion experts have made extensive
studies concerning the practicable
itv of flight BY airrlane from the
