MACKMEN TAKE
FIRST GAME in
YANKEES SERIES
By LEO ii. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May IS. W.P)-Man-
ager Joe Mccarthy led his New
York Yankees to Philadelphia to-
day for a five-game series against
the world champion Athletics,
which will go a long way toward
deciding the 1881 American League
pennant race.
The Athletics, riding on the crest
of a 15-game winning streak nave
visions of a clean sweep over their
most dangerous rival and if this
ambition is realized the Yankees
will be virtually out of the fighting.
Connie Mack's team now is run
ming like a well oiled machine and
has not lost a game since May a.
With the pitching of Grove, Earn
shaw, Walberg and Rommel in top
form and the hitterS setting fast
pace. the AS believe they have an
excellent chance of equalling the
American league record OF 19 con-
secutiVe victories established by
Chicago in 1906 and the major
league record of 26 in q row made
by the New York Giants in 1916.
New York's initial attempt to
shatter the Philadelphia winning
streak failed, when the Yankees
dropped a 7 to game to the Ath-
letics at Yankee Stadium Sunday
Washington's Senators kept pace
with the Athletics and advanced to
within a half a game of the second
place Yankees, by defeating Boston,
10 to 9. Boston threatened in the
ninth, scoring runs and putting
the tying counter on base, but Sad
Sam" Jones went into the game and
retired the side.
The Cleveland Indians, who
broke a 12-game losing streak by
defeating Chicago Saturday, were
unable to repeat and dropped a
doubleheadet to the White Sox, 4
to and to 2.
Detroit ran its losing streak to 8
games by dropping the first game
of a double header to st. Louis, 10
to s, but came back to take the
second contest, 3 to /. Walter Stew
art held the Tigers to hits in the
opener, and Bridge, Detroit rookie,
retalated in the second game by
holding st. Louis to seven scattered
blows.
Near-Tie in National
st. Louis and New York remained
in a near tie for first place in the Ma
tional League, the Cards dividing a
double header with Cincinnati and
New York breaking even in two
games with Boston. Although the
two teams are tied in games won
and lost, ST. Louis still holds .013
advantage in the percentage col
umn.
Cincinnati's 3 to victory over
st. Louis in the opening game, saw

BENEFIT CARD
FRIDAY NIGHT
IN LOCAL RING

Looking back over the years
the Imperial Valley Athletic club
has been operating here, it is be-
lieved the fans have never been CIV
en- the opportunity of seeing two
Filipino fighters trading blows. Ger
tainly it has never been done in a
main event, and the fans have
thereby been the losers.
Two Filipino boys tossed into the
ring is assurance that there is 60
ing to be battle, the same as if
two gamecocks were used. They
Just take to it naturally and no
Filipino boy wants another to get
a decision over him.
That is the high spot of the BEN
eft card which Harry Woodbury.
has arranged for this week, all pro-
ceeds going to the American Legion
Drum and Bugle Corps. The corps
has been the pride of Legion men
here and is in need of bit of as
sistance. Woodbury. is a member
of it and has been instrumental in
lining up the affair.
Aside from expenses for the box
ers, nobody will get any money out
of the fight except the corps, all
officials donating their services for
the occasion.
To get back to the Filipino fight
ers, there are Young David, who
scored his 18th kayo in 16 bouts at
the arena last week and Vince Ca
diente, champion of the Pacific
fleet. Cadiente is a COB in San Di-
ego and his manager says he
doesn't even want transportation
and hotel money if Cadiente can't
make David take the short end OF
the battle.
Five other bouts have been ar
ranged, each one of them certain
TO provide lots of sparkle and ex-
element. Here they are: Florencio
Villa and Baby Ruiz; Vincent So
lano and Salvador Romero; KID
Pancho and Louie Garcia; Andy
Armstrong and Rafael Deleo; Louis
REYES and Gus Hernandez.
Villa is known here while Ruiz
is the tough little hombre who put
up couple of rafting good scraps,
one of them against the French
boy, Carpenter. Solano is local
while Romero is the kid who gave
David a terrific fight during the
winter. Pancho is from the coast
but has fought here several times
and is popular with the fans; Gar
cia fought here last week and didn't
look 50 good against the awkward
Lorenzo Reyes, but ought to do bet
ter this time. Andy Armstrong
well he's Andy Armstrong, and Del
co is the boy who went down be-
fore frankie West. Louis Reyes is
not in need of any introduction,
while Gus Hernandez is a big
shot" over in Tijuana.
There will be one single admis-
sion price for any seat in the house.
A buck does the work.

CENTRAL UNION
CRIDIRON TEAM
TAKES CONTEST

What may be expected OF Central
Union High school in football cir
cles next fall was indicated Satur-
day night when the Ell Centro Spar
tans waded knee-deep through
Grossmont high school to a startl-
ing A to O victory, the score rep
resenting seven touchdoWns and two
points after touchdown.
Getting off to a slow start, Ell
Centro scored 13 points in the first
half being kept busy guarding
against a possible score by Gross
mont. In the second half, however,
the locals opened up to score 81
points.
El Centro made numerous first
downs to only one for Grossmont.
Fumbles and bad passes were nu-
merous, but to be expected in a
contest between two green teams.
Captain Davis Wynne was star
of the Ell Centre eleven, running
off tackle, blocking, passing, punt
ing and standing out in every other
department of the game. He inter-
cepted several passes which made
Grossmont look bad Wynne served
notice he will be a hard man to stop
next year.
He was well supported by the rest
of the Ell Centro veterans, around
whom Coach Bob Armstrong hopes
to build his next years squad.
Fisher at left-end stopped every
thing that came his way and
downed the ball carrier on almost
every kickoff.
Vets Show Well
Tackett, who played center and
tackle, used his 1876 pounds to ad-
vantage, stopping everything that
came his direction. Butler, left
tackle, showed by his work that it
will be disastrous next fall to send
many plays through him.
Outside of last years veterans,
none of the players showed excep-
tional ability The running guards,
Berry and Templeton, played well,
but will play better with expert
SiiSN. T1bOue oo PAOoPCNtifC Pidy Si o
were given chance to get into the
game.
A fair crowd clicked through the
turnstiles, SO that gate receipts and
expenses were almost on a par. The
night was ideal for football.
The game showed several weak
spots in the Ell Centro team. Unless
some good backs are developed be-
fore the season opens, next years
team will be far behind that of
$780, Mediocre ability in the back
field resulted in poor blocking and
interference.
Coach Ketchen, who has worked
with the Ell Centro team in prac-
tice sessions, was on the sidelines.
Their performance showed the re-
suit of his coaching in the Al to 0
score. This game concludes the
athletic season for Ell Centro high
school.

Argentine Next
In Tennis Play

MONTREAL, May 25. UPJ-Hav-
ing shattered Canada's hope of in
ternational tennis success, the
United States Davis cup team was
enroute today for Washington,
D. C., to meet Argentina in the Am
erican Zone finals, May %, 29 and

The United States players quail
fled for the series by defeating
Canada, four matches to one, in
the North American finals. The
Argentina United States winner

mails to determine an opponent for

Sidney B. Wood, 19-year-old New

Frank Shields added a 6-1, Cd, 6-1

feat of the season. The Reds
pounded Grimes for II hits while
Silas johnson was holding the
champions to 6. st. Louis slammed
out Ia hits in the second game and
Jess Haines coasted to a 13 to 6
triumph.
Clarence Mitchell, veteran south
paw, hung up his fifth triumph of
the season to give New York a 10
to 7 victory over Boston, but the
Braves took the second game, 2 to
0, in six innings, with Ed Brandt
registering his seventh victory.
Pittsburgh made in two in a row
over Chicago, 10 to 7, and moved
into fourth place with the Cubs
dropping to fifth.
Gilbert's double and Finn's single
in the tenth inning gave the Brook
lyn Robins a decision over Phila-
delphia, 6 to 5. The Robins tied
the count in the ninth after Phila-
delphia apparently had sewed up
the contest by scoring four runs on
five hits in the seventh.
