LOCAL GERMANS PLAN
 TO HONOR VON STEUBEN
Circulars Will Be Distributed to School Children Telling of
 German EcrO'G Life

German-American residents have porarily abandoned their plan to urge the city to name a park i'll honor of Baron Frederick von Stu ben of Revolutionary fame. On the occasion of his 200th birthday next Wednesday, however. they will dis tribute circulars among school chill dren and local societies describing the life and activities of the baron during the Revolutionary period.
 The original plan called for ob- taining permission to dedicate the park at Jubilee and East streets to the German on September 17 but this was given up when Mayor Quigley suggested naming Willow Brook park in honor of Steuben and Lafayette.
 Councilman F. William Huber said that the local group now plans
 to await a later opening to have a park named in honor of the German i hero.

WATSON CLAIMS
 PROMISES KEPT
Says Hoover Active in Bringing
 Relief to Farmers

Linton Ind, Sept II P1United States Senator James E. Watson. in a speech prepared for delivery at the opening of the republican fall campaign in Indiana here today, de- cIared that President Hoover and his party have redeemed every pledge and promise mad to the vot- CTS in 1928.
 He defended the present tariff act at length, and asserted that the ad- ministration had done much toward bringing relief to the farmers. In addition, Senator Watson said, the party had dealt quickly and suc- cessfully with the stock market col lapse of last October, the wheat sur plus, and the drought.
 The senate republican leader de- nied that the tariff act had anything to do with the present decline in prices, and placed the responsibility on worldwide depression.
 Henry Ford, Detroit automobile manufacturer, and Alfred r. Sloan. president of General Motors, were criticized by Watson for engaging in manufacturing in foreign countries, and along with others similarly en- gagged. in seeking free trade in this country.
 Senator Watson's speech was re- Cognized by the republican national committee as formally opening the nation wide senatorial and congress sional campaign.

Bows To Mackmen
In League Upset

In the most startling upset of the
season, the Mack and Mack squad,
hitherto considered one of the weak
sisters of the league, slaughtered the
league-leading Cramer Bakery team,
by the lopsided score of 20 to ).
-Four pitchers were used by the
bakery in an Intellectual attempt to
halt the uDceasing and monotonous
succession of base hits. The Mack
men tsarted their assault on Jordon,
coast ace, pounding eight runs over
the rubber in the first frame. J. b.
Evans, Price and Ugrin, his success
sors, had no better success with the
Mack batsmen.
Ted Ehmke and Brown, with five
hits each. led the Mack attack
while Neeley with three hits was
the only rCamer man to solve the
pitching of O'Brien, Mack hurler.
A special treat is in store for fans
tonight when an all-star team from
Brawley comes down to meet the

warm-up for the valley league,
which starts out next Thursday

Davis Cup Team
Minus Services
OF Three Stars

NEW YORK, July Il. WP>-Am
erica s youthful Davis cup team pre-
pared today to meet Italy in the
1880 intcr-Zone finals without the
aid of three tennis brilliant inter
nationalists-W William r. Tildcn IL
William Johnston and Francis T.

in the L. S. Davis cup record of the

Tildcn, who teamed with Johnston

PREPARING FOR
RECORD CROWD
AT FIGHT ARENA
Plenty Of Action Is Prom
ised In PachO-Siki Tilt
Tomorrow Night.

just one day and tight fans of
the valley will have another feast
set before them. We understand
that preparations are being made
to handle a record crowd at the
arena, for whenever Pacho is an
nounced on the card the faithful
gathers in large numbers. There
are no cOunter-attractions billed for
the same time and we expect to see
friends from all over the county,
from Mexico and Arizona and all
places where the fame of Bobby
and Sikh has reached.
Both give of their level best, all
the time. 1t is doubtful if they
know what the word quit means in
any language and they certainly
have shown their ability too often
to need much boosting from any
body. Why, brother, you will see
a fight that would cost you muchO
dinero at any club ON the coast, if
you could get in at all.
Mariana Cebu has always been q
favorite with the fans here. He
packs a terrific wallop in his left
hand and keeps boring in, looking
for that mnguarded opening and
when he finds it-wham, bang, cur
tains. Quite a number have tried
hard to smack him down but few
have succeeded. 1t looks though
as if Carl Hagar is the boy who will
give Mariana real battle. Mind
you, we are not stating that he
will win, not having as yet reached
that condition where we enjoy
prophetic powers, but, word Of
warning to Cebu-if he gets in the
way of that sledgehammer right, it
will be just too bad.
We are anxious to see Andy Arm
strong again after long absence
from the local ring. The Holtville
mauler has always been drawing
card in the valley and has given
the fans their moneys worth every
time he pulled on the gloves. He
meets Cecil Balding, Los Angeles
scrapper and as this is Balding's
first appearance here, at least for
this year, we couldn't get much of
lineup on him. However, Harry
Woodbury. says that the boy is able
to take care of himself and has
turned in flock OF good fights
along the coast. That sounds like
plenty good enough for US.
Lorenzo Reyes will try Lis
hardest to give Tiger Flowers an.
other setback in the prelim. The
Flowers boy seems to have lost
much of his Tiger nature in the last
two fights. Starting out like a
whirlwind he battered his opponent
about the ring for the first two
rounds and then wilted. At the
end OF the fights he seemed very
much subdued. Reyes says he will
knock him for whole garden of
flowers. Well see.
There you have a brief resume of
the card for tomorrow night but
there is one very important item
still to be mentioned: don't for
get that ladies with escorts will be
admitted free of charge. Give the
wife or sweetheart a real treat and
bring her out where she will have
some real fun. Bridge is rather
boring these warm evenings, any.
how.
