MAYOR HAYES ON
 SALVATION ARMY
Ind0rses Effort Being Made to Raise Funds to Carry
 on Work
TWO WEEKS CAMPAIG

The Salvation Army of Waterbury which includes WatertOwn, seems to have the good will and endorse r1ent of the citizens and general public regardless of profession or personal opinion inschurch or polf- tical affairs. The Salvation Army never enters into any questions, when a needy and unfortunate per- son comes to their attention, and the people of Waterbury know that in the Salvation Army they have an agency that is ready to serve needy humanity, regardless of color, creed or nationality, the Army lives up to the once popular slogan, "A man may be down but he Is never out" and right here in Waterbury Ad-, jutant Simons takes joy in reporting he has been able as the representa- tive of the army to help many of those who were a long way down, back to self respect and to posi- tion where they are self supporting and an asset to the community, in- stead of burden to the city. Ad- jutant Simons, the local commanding officer of the Army expressed con- siderable joy. when he received a letter of endorsement from the city's chief executive this morning. The letter is as follows:
 ITO the people of Waterbury: { "The Salvation Army, this week and next, is conducting its appeal for funds for the general main- tenance of it's work here, during the coming year. The sum that is sought is $6,945.00. s4
 ''The amount that is requested is modest, particularly in view of the good work these people carry on day in and day out, among those oyertaken by misfortune.
 T would urge the generous and wholehearted support of the entire community for the Salvation Army in it's effort.
 FRANK HAYES.
 Mayor"
 It is expected by the large com mittee of prominent citizens spon- soring this public appeal for $6.945. that those receiving letters or being approached, ,by a Salvation Army worker will respond generously.

The Coast League pennant race
still went to the strong today, the
teams in the upper division winning
their games despite extra inning
competition.
The Portland Beavers, in second
place, made a spectacular recovery
in the 14th inning against the San
Francisco Seals last night, scoring
four runs and winning, to 5. The
Seals made three runs in their half
of the period and the Ducks needed
four to win.
A similar rally in the last of the
10th won for the Missions against
the Oakland Oaks, also by to 5.
The Oaks turned in a pair of runs
and appeared to have broken their
long string Of defeats, but the Reds
came back with three markers and
took the game. 1t was the 18th
straight loss for the Acorns.
The victory kept the Missions in

On May TO- 1929, Eddie Garcia,
whom very few remember, climbed
into the ring at the local boxing
arena and found as his opponent, a
! stocky shock-headed kid from Yu-
ma.
The Yuma kid was clumsy and
appeared nervous. but he carried a
sock which found Garcia in the
third round, and down he went for
the count.
Bobby Pacho was the kid who did
it. 1t was his first fight in the To-
cal arena and he started off long
series of wins with this knockout.
incidentally it was the opening
fight on the card.
Tonight Pacho comes back to the
ring with all the prestige of being
a legitimate contender for the light
weight championship, by virtue of
the sound trouncing he gave to
Goldie Hess in their fight at Holly
wood a week ago.
Lest readers think we are piling
it on too strong for Pacho, we quote
Goldie Hess as saying after the
fight that he got more from Pacho
than ne did from Tony Canzoneri,
the lightweight champion Of the
world, or from Jack kid Berg, the
great English fighter.
Between that night in May two
years ago, and tonight, Pacho has
appeared in many battles here and
in arenas up the state. He has
taken a few trouncings and has had
a couple of draws, but each boy
who has beaten him has taken
trouncing later on. The only eX-
ception is Santiago Gorilla, and
Bobby took a questionable decision
from him in their first meeting,
only to lose in the second encoun-
ter. But Gorilla wants no more of
him.
Fans might be interested in look
ing over Pacho's record in the local
ring, up to the end of last year. His
fights since then have been SO re-
cent they are easily recalled.

CHICAGO, June 5. UP)-Dom-
mating the field of 334 picked stars
entered from rs colleges from coast
to coast, Southern California's track
and field team was an oVerWhelm-
ing favorite to put the finishing
touches on the greatest two year
record in history in the Natinoal
Collegiate Athletic association meet
today and tomorrow at Stagg field.
The withdrawal of all but one
member of the Stanford team vir-
tually has clinched the title for the
Trojans. Southern California won
last years meet with 55 27-70 points
and if all the members of the team
perform up to expectations the Tro-
jams will set a new high point total,
eclipsing the present score of 70
points made by Stanford in 1923.
Since victory for Southern Cali
fornia is practically foregone con-
clusion, it will be the first time
since the N. C. A. A. meet was es-
tablished in 1921 that any school
has been able to win the title two
years in succession. The Trojans

NATIONAL RACE
NARROWS DOWN
TO THREE TEAMS
BY LEO III. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 5. U.P)-The
mad scramble for the National
League leadership narrowed down to
three teams today with the likeli-
hood that st. Louis, New York and
Chicago would continue to battle
it out the entire season.
The pace setting Cardinals are
two games and a half ahead of the
Giants, while the Cubs in third
place are three and one-half con-
tests from the top. The other five
teams, headed by Boston and
Brooklyn, are seven games or more
from first place, and it is unlikely
that any OF them will challenge the
present leaders.
Both the Cardinals and Cubs have
demonstrated their superiority over
the other western teams in their
circuit and have been able to hold
their own against the class of the
eastern clubs. So far in the sec
ond intersectional competition, st.
Louis has taken two out of three
from New York, while Manager Ro-
gers Hornsby and his men have
whipped Brooklyn twice while los
ing once.
Pepper Martins single after
Adams had doubled enabled the
Cards to increase their lead yes
terday by defeating New York, to
5. The Giants had come from be-
hind to tie the score in the eighth
inning but Bill Hallahan. hurting
his first complete games of the
season, held the New Workers at bay
in the ninth.
Chicago kept pace by turning
back Brooklyn, to 4. Cuyler's
home run with Grimm on base in
the ninth inning provided the Cubs
the winning margin.
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated
Boston in 13 innings, 2 to l, al
though they were outhit by the
Braves, II to 7. Moss held Pitts
burgh to four hits until he retired
in the ninth.
Earnshaw In Form
A four run rally in the eighth in
ming gave the Cincinnati Reds a
to victory over Philadelphia
Benge held the Reds safe until the
uprising in the eighth.
George Earnshaw allowed but
three hits as he pitched Philadel-
phla to its third consecutive victory
over Chicago, to l. The Athletics
collected nine hits off Tommy
Thomas. One of them was a home
run by Jimmy FoXX with a mate
on base.
Washington continued to trample
the crippled Detroit Tigers, to l.
It marked the first time this season
Ain Crowder, Senator hurler, was
in his usual form. 1t was Detroit's
eighth consecutive defeat.
Wes Ferrell pitched the Cleveland
victory, a 10 to 2 decision over the
Red Sox. Ferrell gave the Red SoX
eight hits while Cleveland seWed up
the contest in the opening inning
by scoring four runs. In the ninth
the Indians scored six more, with
a home run by Ferrell playing q
big part in the attack.
The lowly st. Louis Browns made
it two straight over New York, 8
to g. Blaeholder yielded II hits but
was effective in the pinches. His
mates combed the offerings of Ruff
ing, Wells and Johnson for l3
blows, including a home run inside
the park by Levey, rookie short
stop OF the Browns.
