pALACIOS FIGHTS
MUCH BETTER IN
WEL.TER DIVISION

Fighting better ana punching
harder than he ever did as a light
weight, Teddy Palacios, who heads
the card at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club Friday night, is max
ing a great showing in the ranks
of California welters, which he
joined some months ago.
Teddy will take on Joe Contreras,
another hard puncher, who has
been a big attraction in several
San Diego engagements. in an eight
round main event. The battle has
all the earmarks of being q good
one, Teddy being a known quantity
here and the reputation Contreras
has built up on the coast indicates
he knows what it is all about.
Second only to the main event
in interest, is the return match be-
tween Battling Paul and Joe Ruiz,
which is an extra bout on the card
The boys we're putting on one of
the best scraps ever seen in the To-
cal ring last week when Paul acci-
dentally fouled the Santa Ana
boy. They will have to fight to a
Knockout or a decision to get their
pay for last week and each is out
for knockout.
The semi-final will see frankie
West and Andy Armstrong tang
ling things up. Right now Mr..
Armstrong is going like a house
afire. He has found out that he
has a punch, he is speedy and
Andy has done a lot of good work.
He will have his hands full with
West, but if he gets a little water
melon coaXing from the ringSide,
Mr. West may take a trip south be-
fore the battle is over. West has
performed here before and the
fans know he can sock like a mule
kicks.
Another six rounder will bring
together Vincent Solano and Sal
Romero who staged a slashing fight
here two weeks ago. Solano was
given a questionable decision over
Romero on that accession. The
coast boy dumped the El Centro lad
to the canvas in the first round,
but Romero was not given credit
for it in the decision. This was
bob-tailed three round engagement
on the Legion benefit card. Over
longer route the boys will have
a better chance to see which is the
better.
Louie Garcia and Pilino Kilat
will open the show with a return
engagement from last week. Gar
cia won the decision then by a
great last round rally The boys
are well matched and they like to
throw leather
Ladies will be admitted without
charge again this week, providing
they have escorts.

Night Tennis
Is Now Possible

Six new flood lights recently in
stalled on the three tennis courts
at the high school were accepted
by the school board at a recent
meeting and the courts are now
open for night play.
An attendant will be on the
courts each evening between the
hours of 7:30 and 1920 o'clock. A
nominal charge for play will be
made to cover the charges for power
and attendant.
Installation of the lights was
made possible by subscription and
gives Ell Centro an additional sports
attraction. Those interested in
tennis thus will be able to play
throughout the summer. The courts
are SO situated that summer breez-
es will reach the players.
Credit for the procurance of the
lights goes to committee which
devoted a great deal of time to
raising the $500 necessary. Mem
bers of this committee and tennis
enthusiasts are expressing their
gratitude to those who contributed
the sum.
All who play tennis are invited
to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity for night play.

Crews Training
For Big Race

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June O..
UP)-The six crews already in
training here for the annual Pough-
keepsie regatta June 16 were sched-
uled for hard workouts today with
the possibility that Coach KY Eb-
right would send his University Of
California oarsmen through a time
trial over the regular four mile
course.
California was out on the chop
py Hudson twice yesterday. In the
first workout the rough water
swept away the washboard on the
bow of the shell and although the
accident was a minor one it handi-
capped the crew considerably. AZ
ter the sun went down. Coach Eb-
right brought out his crew again
and had his men cover six miles.

Comforts Of Home
A combined living room and Of

own radio with its 10-inch aerial.
Clearance demands the short aerial.
There are three sleeping rooms and
a large washroom.
The car has its own furnace and
electric fans installed for the COM
fort of those who attend classes as
we'll as for the two examiners.
Comfort is necessary, as Nichols and
HooSen live on the car the year
around.
Their appearance in the yards is
the signal for every trainman to go
about with the book of rules in his
pocket SO that he can snatch every
available spare minute to do a lit
tie reviewing.
The classes undoubtedly must be
instructive as well as interesting,
judging by the manner in which all
enter into discussions. To the un-
initiated, however, both questions
and answers resemble conversations
between inhabitants of some distant
planet.

REAL OBSTACLE
FOR ATHLETICS
BY LEO II. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 8. UP)-Wal-
ter Johnsons Washington Sena-
tors stood out today as the only
dangerous obstacle remaining be-
tween the Philadelphia Athletics
and their third consecutive Ameri-
can League championship.
Although five games behind the
pace setting Athletics, Washington
is in position to climb to first
place should Philadelphia falter.
Thus far the Athletics have shown
no sign Of let down but Manager
Johnson continues to drive his men
III the hope that eventually Phila-
delphia will crack enough to enable
his team to slip into first place.
Although the Indians have shown
surprising strength during the past
two weeks, Cleveland and New York
can practically be counted out of
the pennant scramble. The Yam
KEGS are nine games behind Phila-
delphia while Cleveland, in fourth
place, trails the leaders by 10 full
contests. The New York pitching
staff is too erratic for the Yam
KEGS to become a serious contender
while Cleveland appears to lack the
all-around class Of a championship
team.
The Indians advanced to within
a game of third place yesterday
when they defeated New York. 4
to l. After being held to one hit
by Charley Ruffing in the first
eight innings, Cleveland rallied in
the ninth and scored four runs on
n homer by Averill, triples by Por-
ter and Myatt and a single by Hod-
app. Yves Ferret held the Yankees
to three hits and could have scored
a shutout except for his tWo-base
wild throw in the fifth inning when
he tried to pick Dickey off first.
Foxx Gets Two
Two home runs by Jimmy Foxx
and the seven-hit pitching of Lefty
Grove featured the Philadelphia
Athletics 7 to 3 victory over De-
troit. FoXX's home runs were his
18th and 18th Of the season. Earl
Whitehill, Tiger hurler, allowed only
eight hits but Philadelphia punched
the blows in the fifth, sixth and
eighth innings.
Washington went on a batting
rampage and whipped the Chicago
White SoX, l8 to 4. The Senators
collected 20 hits off four Chicago
hurlers while Burke limited the
White Sox to eight safeties.
Walter Stewart pitched st. Louis
to a q to 0 victory over Boston. en-
abling the Browns to climb out of
the American League cellar.
Stewart allowed seven scattered
hits and did not permit a man to
get beyond second base.
The New York Giants climbed

place in the National League by
defeating the Cubs, 6 to l. Mitchell

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES CRAM
AS EXAMINERS COME AROUND

Deep study and concentration
were in order at the Southern Pa
cific station this week as William
Nichols and his assistant rolled into
the yards aboard their private car
and opened classes for examination
Of engineers, conductors, brakemen,
firemen, operators, yardmen and
yard masters concerning informa-
tion contained in the all-powerful
book of rules governing railroading.
Glasses are conducted by Nichols
and w. S. Hooson, his assistant, in
a classroom in the private car III
which they travel over 10000 miles
of railroad in making a round trip
of the system west of Ell PaSo. 1t
requires more than two years to
make this round trip, and they keep
1t up year after year. Nichols has
conducted these classes in the ira
yelling school for q years and is an
authority in railroad rules.
The book of rules is founded upon
generally accepted train operating
rules and is of paramount impor-
tance in safe transportation. 1t was
published June 5, $780, and was
compiled by committee of seven
experts, of which Nichols was a
member. Standard code rules of
the American Railroad association
are basis of the book.
1t is of paramount Importance
that trainmen become thoroughly
familiar with the rules in order that
they may never be at loss as to
the proper procedure at any time.
Hundreds of lives depend upon the
efficient performance of their duty.
Before entering the employ of the
Southern Pacific company, the ap-
plicant must pass written exami-
nation on these same rules and a
written examination upon the same
subjects must be passed before an
employee is promoted. Other exam
inations are oral.
Safety First
Should one of the trainmen be
lax in answering the questions put
TO him, he is in for intensive tutor
ing On the part of Nichols.
Railroads today have placed
safety first in the list of impor-
tance,' Nichols explained, land
these rules if followed carefully will
reduce the danger element to a
minimum. Accidents occur because
human beings are not perfect
He examined 25 men in Ell Centro.
The rolling classroom presents an
interesting example of careful util-
ization of space. A miniature rail-
way with many tiny automatic
block signals, an inter- locking plant
and other features found on the
actual system that would delight the
heart of any boy. The little rail-
road is used in illustrating points
in the rule book.
Charts maps and blackboards are
included in the equipment. Stere-
opticon views are thrown on a
screen from special projection
room. The seating capacity of the
room is 30 The red plush familiar
to railroads is much in evidence
here.
1t really is said that the ordinary
citizen and especially the ordinary
woman cannot take the course in
time tables. They might be able to
read them with more intelligence
and effectiveness, if such were pos
sible. Time tables are considered

Seeks Accounting
OF Partnership

Seeking an accounting of part
nership business and asking ap-
pointment of a receiver until such
an accounting can be made, E. M.
Brick yesterday afternoon filed
suit against James Barnes, his for
mer partner in the Valley Sheet
Metal Works.
The two formed a partnership
March 20, 1890, by oral agreement,
said the complaint. The partner
ship was dissolved by mutual con-
sent June 5, 1881. Barnes now con-
ducts the business irrespective of
the wishes of his former partner,
according to the complaint, and has
threatened to conduct it in such a
way as to be detrimental to busi-
ness interests.
