Three hard boiled, two-fisted
fighting marines, one of them an
cX-German soldier, tied together
with "Thrcc Musketeers bond
staging a little private war of their
own in Russia and China, with a
real romance woven through it.
That is Il brief synopsis OF "The

cast, which comes tonight to Fox
Imperial Theatre. William Boyd has
the stellar role of Tex Calhoun,
with Alan Hale and Robert Arm
strong as his buddies. Diane Ellis is
the heroine, with Fred Kohlcr TAX
ing the part OF the william, who
causes more trouble for the three
than all the marine scrgeantS.
The story is 4 crackerjac de-
parting from the usual run of war
or service pictures. TO reveal much
Of it would be to spoil interest in
the production, which has new
surprise at each turn. Satnding out
prominently in the plot is the
friendship Of the three men for
each other. Bccausc OF 1t thcV

BRAWLEY TEAM
PLAYS CENTRAL
HERE SATURDAY

Brawlev High school baseball
team will be entertained by Coach
Armstrong; Central Union dia-
mond performers tomorrow after
noon in the seventh game of the
season for both teams.
The Brawley outfit comes here
with 4 reputation of being the Sec
ond best team in the league having
been yictors in five of the six
games PLAYED. The only loss suffer
ed was that to CaleXico, the league
leaders, earlier in the season. Then
the border boys won only by u
margin Of Il single counter.
Armstrong; team holds down
third place in the standings having
won three and lost like number.
Last week they defeated the i'm
proved Imperial club 16 to 3 with
an eighth inning rally that ncttcd
! eight markers.
The game tomorrow should be a
| tight affair if Ehmke settles down
| to business. Ted can pitch real
! baseball when he bears down but
likes to let up when he thinks he
has an easy batter to work on. y.
result the opposition scores ruE
when they should be blankcd.
The stocky hurlcr got away
badly last week and put his team in
Il hole during the first three
frames. However, after that only
one hit, 4 homer was made off his
! delivery. lncidently he smacked
| out four hits, three of them triples.
The rest of Armstrong s team is
showing Improvement, especially at
! bat With Il little more steadness
in the field they can be compared
with the best clubs in the league.
The locals 60 up against a veteran
outfit tomorrow afternoon, six of
the visiting team have played to-
gether last year. Westgard, Braw-
ley hurler is one of the best in the
loop but is no better, if as good as
Ehmke, when the latter is right.
The visitors have a number Of
! heavy hitters but are met in this
respect with several FL Centre boys
who are equally as good with the
! ash
The local lineup will be about the
same as last week with the possi-
oility that Cobleigh will not be be
! hind the bat. The kid looked good
last week even though he was off
! his feed. Price may catch and Matt
/ son will take over Ike S hot cor
ner.
Adams, at shortstop, against I'm
perial, looked great in the field
and has probably earned perman-
! cnt job.
The game starts promptly at 2:30
p. m. ON the high school diamond.
CaleXico retained the leadership
of the league when they defeated
Ioltville yesterday IS to 5. 1t was
the seventh straight victory for
the border boys.

story of Ella Mays life, the great

death.
Before Williams spoke, the min

forward to take over the funeral.
He was brushed aside with a gesture
and the mass of rain-drenched work
ers turned to their union leaders.

that France with her colonial en-
pire requires substantial superior

Old Quarrel, Too.
Authoritative information here
shows France and Italy already dis
agree regarding the significance to
be attached to the identical limita-
ton which was placed upon their
respective capital ships by the
Washington agreement which al
Iotted each 175,000 tons of the
largest type craft. Reliable infor-
nation indicates Italy will interpret
this French acceptance of capital
ship parity as an acknowledgement
of general naval parity.
To this contention, French spokes-
men reply that in ratifying the
Washington agreement France spe-
officially said the ratio were not
representative of the Importance of
the respective maritime interests
and could not be extended to other
categories of war vessels.
No Agreement.
Meanwhile, between worries over
the submarine question, (which, &C.
cording to MacDonalds statement
yesterday, must be settled before
anything is settled, for unless the
five powers agree in principle, no
further negotiations will go on, and
the boosted U. S.-British accord will
be exposed for what it is, a dis
agreement, on $4,000 tons of cruiser
