council, of which division Carey is
manager, and the visitors were here
on official matters, TO look over the
valley and report on business and
financial conditions existing here.
They were surprised at the pros
perity of this community when de-
preston prevails in other COM

duction of Imperial Valley and large
payrolls resulting from the lettuce
and cantaloupe harvests.

entertained at dinner by A. j. Mer-
cier, president of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of Imperial

The Englishman ayerted a brawl

With a laugh, the strangers then
identified themselves, the Britisher

chagrin, he was presented with a
book entitled How to Box"
To demonstrate, skeptieal read

CLEVELAND. July 3. U.P)-An.
aconda Smelt once said that If hi
hadn't loved horses he probably
never would have been one of the
best horseshoe pitchers in Calico
Rock. Ark.
With equal yeracity, Max Schmel-
ing could say he might still be
pushing riyets in tall buildings If
it hadn't been for limberger cheese.
To that vast army of faintheart-
ed who quail at the mere mention
of limberger, the revelation may
come as a severe jolt that this ar
ticle of food played contributing
part in shaping the career OF a
heavyweight champion. As h e
trained for his bout with Young
Stribling today Schmeling admits
it did.
1t was seven years ago that Max
dropped into a beer garden in Null
helm. Germany, for a frothing Sci
de- and a morsel of cheese. He
seated himself at a table and was
contentedly munching his sandwich
when two strangers, one a negro,
the other an Englishman, decided to
demonstrate.
Schmeling was told in unpolite
terms that he was making the place
smell something very much akin to
a stable.
Angered, Max arose and heaved
the remainder of his sandwich in
the direction of his critics. The
swishy cheese flopped against the

LEADERS HOLDING
THEIR POSITIONS
IN BOTH LEAGUES
BY LEO PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 3. U.P)-When
the Fourth of July dawns tomorrow
Philadelphia and st. Louis will be in
first place in the American and Ma
tional leagues respectively, and If
one of baseballs Oldest traditions
rings true those two clubs will meet
in the 1881 world series.
With very few exceptions, the
team which holds the leadership on
July has usually gone through to
win the pennant. That was the
case last year as far as the Athletics
were concerned, but the tradition
didn't mean much in the National
league. A year ago tomorrow the
Brooklyn Robins headed the parade
with the st. Louis Cardinals fourth,
six and one-half games to the bad.
Last year on Independence Day
the Athletics held a three-game lead
over Washington. This season they
will hold three and one-half game
margin. The Cardinals have an
edge of one and one-half contests
on the second place New York Gil
ants. While the margin is a slight
one, it is enough to indicate that
the Cardinals are the team to beat
for the National league flag for they
return home July 9 for 25 game
stand.
ST. Louis has an opportunity to
increase its margin today, by meet
ing the Philadelphia Phillies in
double header. They are the only
games on the major league schedule,
The Giants crept up to within a
game and a half of the leadership
yesterday when they defeated the
Cardinals 3 to 2.
Chicago also closed in on the
league leaders by turning back Phil
adelphia 2 to l in II innings.
The Brooklyn Robins made their
five hits off Silas johnson count to
defeat Cincinnati to 3.
Pittsburgh shut out Boston, l to
0, in the other National league con-
test.
Washington gained game on the
Athletics by defeating st. Louis, 13
to 5, as Philadelphia lost to Cleye-
land, II to 4.
New York closed its second west
ern invasion of the year with l3
to l decision over the Detroit Tigers.
Home runs by Ruth and Chapman
featured the Yankees attack or
Uhle and Hoyt.
Tommy Thomas shut out Boston
with three hits as Chicago White
SoX won 2 to 0.
