And I'm sure it's a fact
That the boys along Wolf Creek

Chris Sands is on the market
Says he wants a chosen mate
Nab him girls this very moment
Before you find you are too late.
Pat Naughter needs a helper

You'll find him a splendid beau.
Freddie Sugden, handsome fellow,
Girls look out for him

Or he'll surely rope you in.
Theodore Dahl is still longing,
Watching still for n of you,
Now girls do be fast
For we are quite sure one school
marin has already answered yes.
Iowa Sugden, do lot forget him,
Freeze to him this very hour
He will make a model husband
Though he seems a little young.
But if you are up against it
And can't find one high or low,
Nick Giezebrecht, he will take you
If you'll bring along the dough.
Now girls, do not be bashful
For | know the way is clear;
And remember what l tell you
It's quite a while til next leap

Wednesday for the first Of a three
series with the local high

crown of this section.
Both teams have not been defeated
this year and each boasts an impress
sive record of wins over opponents In
their respective counties. Mission,
although defeated for the Valley
championship last year. has a long
string of wins extending back over
many years, and Coach Cochran be-
lieves he has another winning con:-
bination this season.
Each nine carries plenty of hitting
strength and at least two dependable
twirlers, while their fielding records
are about on a par for the current
season.
Thursday the ball tossers return 70
San Benito for the second game Of
the series and the place for the third
game, if a third game is necessary,
will be decided later.
Following is the probable lineup
for the opening game:

ar they flop three times they're
through" goes an old saying Of the
bleacherites, but
Fourth, not third time is charm
says Frank O'Doul Of the New Yori
Giants. and TO back up his words he
plasters National league pitching
all over Gotham and vicinity.
Lefty O'Doul has set himself the
tough job Of proving to National
league fans that his first three ap-
~pearanccs at the big time must not
be taken seriously. He means tc
stick this time-and how!
The great work of Andy Cohen
around second base for the McGraw-
men drew most Of the applause and
practically all the attention of Giant
fans in the early days of the cur
rent big league campaign. II the
fans had lifted their vision a little
and conferred their gaze into the out.
field they would have seen a sight
TO gladden. their hearts.
There was Lefty O'Doul playing 3
bang up game all over the grass. Al
bat he has proven a tower Of strength
for the cause Of John McGraw. He
looks like the goods.
O'Doul's first trip to the big time
was in 1919 when the Yankees grab
bed him from the San Francisco
Seals and tried to make a major
league pitcher out of him.
But ODoul didn't click. Back he
went in 1921 to the coast to con
tinue his excellent career in the bis
minor league there.
Came 1928 and another chance foi
Lefty. This time the Boston Red
Sox, remembering their great sue
cess with a fellow called George
Herman Ruth, tried to make an out.
fielder-pitcher out of O'Doul. How
ever, the c%mbination didn't work.
Once more Lefty O'Doul made the
disheartening trek back to the West
He hooked on with Salt Lake City
The Bees stuck him in the outfield
and kept him there.
The Chicago Cubs drafted Lefty II

GRAFTON and found himself still q
minor league player when the 1921
season rolled around. Tic played
with Hollywood until the Seals got
him back.
Last year O'Doul shone like a high
~ polished diamond for his old club.
the San Francisco Seals. He was
second in league batting with a .37s
mark.
On top Of this O'Doul hit SO
homers and stole 30 bases. His all.
around good work was so apparent
that he was named the leagues most
valuable player to his team.
Disregarding Lefty's earlier fail.
ures John McGraw decided to give
the boy another chance and-here he
IS playing for the fourth time in
the big time and looking like a sure
shot to stick.
O'Doul is no longer a youngster
He $ 80 and that's pretty late in life
for a player trying to get on in the
big leagues. NJ he IS ever going to
make good-now is the time.

DEFEAT EAST

irates Beat Giants;
Cinci Reds Defeat
Braves; Cubs Turn
Back Robin Crew
(By the Associated Press)

49, u A10OGAaLEu AIGH1V
Thus far the first sast-west series
has served to bear out preseason
predictions that the National league
race Of 1928 would develop into a
free-for-alI battle involving six or
more of the eight clubs.
The New York Giants and Brook
lyn Robins went into the West with
a firm hold on first and second
place, respectively, chiefly because
of cut-throat competition among the
western teams. Today the Giants
were still in first place although
sitting far from comfortably there,
and the Dodgers had dropped to the
fourth rung. Chicago, in sixth place,
was only a gam and half behind the
league leaders. .
All four eastern clubs were beaten
yesterday.
The Giants invaded Forbes field
and dropped a 6 to 5 decision to Dom
lie Bush's Pittsburgh Pirates. Bur-
leigh Grimes, traded by the Giants
for Vic Aldridge during the winter,
chalked up his fourth victory in six
starts, tanning seven men. Dutch
Henry vas on the mound for the
Giants and might have carried the
verdict but for poor support.
The Cincinnati Reds took advan-
tage of Ed Brandt's wildness 10 score
a z to 2 win over the Boston Braves.
The Reds tailed -four runs in the
sixth on two hits and five passes.
Hughie Critz had a busy day, max
ing three hits, n a homer. and
handling eight changes in the field
without a bobble.
The Cubs ran their winning streak
TO four games by turning back the
Robins. 3 10 Q, Percy Jones having
the edge on Jess Petty in n pitch
ing duel. Xxi Cuyler. injured hand
and all, returned 10 the Cub lineup
and drove in two runs.
Six Philadelphia hurlers were
subjected to n barrage of st. Louis
hits and the Cardinals won, Is to 4.
Highs homer with one on in the
fifth was the high spot Of the
Cards batting attack.
Over in the American league, the
New York Yankees suffered their
second shutout Of the year as Geo.
Uhle pitched the Cleveland Indians
to a 3 to 0 victory. Uhle gave up
four hits and completely silenced the
bats of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
The Athletics moved up to within
two games Of the leaders by nosing
out the st. Louis Browns at Phila-
delphia, 4 to 3. Cbb scored the win
ming run in the seventh on Joe
Hauser's safe hit.
A four-hit pitching masterpiece by
Ed Morris, carried the Boston Red
Sox past the Chicago White Sox. 5
to l., and out Of the cellar The Sox,
losing their seventh straight game,
dropped into last place.

WAGE FARLEY FAILS;
WANT PAUPER SCALE

Columbus, Miners and coal
owners failed to reach a wage agree
ment, following announcement by the
Policy Committee of the international
union that the Jacksonville agreement
would be replaced by district agree
ments.
Some Ohio coal owners insist on a
continued competitive feature,
whereby successive drops of wages in
the anti-union fields of Kentucky and
West Virginia will be met by similar
reductions by the Ohio Miners Union.
This is the position that the coal
owners have taken during the 16
months strike.
