NEW YORK, June 81. U.2)-Are
the Three Musketeers" of the Phil
adelphia Athletics - Lefty Grove,
George Earnshaw, Rube Walberg-
risking their futures in an effort to
bring Old Man Mack his third sue
cessive American League pennant?
Are these men, byy starting almost
every third day in addition to do
ing a vast amount of relief work,
endangering the arms that put shoes
on their feet and roofs over their
heads?
These are two of the maj ipr ques-
tons being asked about the big
league circuit these days, and you
hear plenty of answers.
Some of the boys are of the opin-
ion that unless Lefty. George and
Rube ease up bit and start taking
some real rest between assignments
they are going to cut short their
playing careers by many years. They
argue that it is impossible for bone
and sinew to stand the pace these
three men have been setting since
the season opened; that something
Is bound to give way.
Other of the boys are just as
firm in their opinion that Lefty
George and Rube are running nc
risk in pitching so often, arguing
that more pitchers rust out from
inactivity than burn out from over
work. Burleigh Grimes, the big
he-man of the st. Louis Cardinals
is a firm believer in lots OF work
for pitcher.
This business of resting four and
five days between assignments is
the bunk Burleigh told the writer
not so long ago. IF we (the Cards
were not so blessed with pitchers
Id work every other day and like
it."
Mickey Cochrane, the AS great
catcher and the man who handles
| Grove. Earnshaw and Walberg, IS
another expert who can see nc
harm in a pitcher working often.
1.-Two years ago. Cochrane said

THREE MIJSKETEERS' WORKING
HARD TO WIN FOR ATHLETICS

recently, 'it would have been sui
eide for Grove to work as he is
working this year, for two years ago
he was wild and lacked experience
and pitched every bali as though
the game depended on it. Today he
uses his fast ball sparingly and his
head plenty. Give him lead of a
few runs and he coasts along until
an emergency when ne bears down
and pulls out"
Earnshaw always has been an
easy working pitcher. Besides,
George is blessed with tremendous
strength and can stand plenty OF
punishment. This business of
working overtime is not likely to
wear him out.
If one of them cracks it is likely
to be Walberg. The Rube is older
than Grove or Earnshaw and is
not as capable pitcher, thus max
ing it imperative that he bear down
to a certain extent all the way.

Baby Ruiz. What Tortolis didn :

two rounds could be written on the

the baby, and more than one fan
wanted it stopped. But hard
hearted Bill Tackett wouldn't stop
it. but made the baby go on, so the
baby got tough himself and stopped
the Rusher cold in the third round.

multitude.
Tortolis appeared to have too
many guns for the baby. The lat
ter's face was CORY. he was wohbly
on his pins, but he had a fighting
heart and found out that Mr.. Tor
tolls has a weak tumrny, a common
condition with his countrymen. The
baby landed on that tummy shortly
after the third round opened and
before Mr.. TortoliS could sink to
the floor the baby walloped him
again to the head. Tortolis made
it up at nine but went down again
from a weak blow and was counted
out. 1t was then some of the fans

was. but he was also one sick mu-

HOPE FOR new
MOUNTAIN ROAD
HELD BY ROBERTS

ID. B. Roberts. chairman of the
Mount Laguna development COM
mittee of the e. Centro Chamber
OF Commerce, reports that he is
hopeful that efforts of that COM
mittee to secure a road which will
connect the Mount Laguna area with
Cuyamaca will soon be crowned
with success. The plan is for a
road leading north of the Shrine
camp at Laguna, skirting Garnet
Peak and passing north of the La
guna Indian reservation, in view of
the Oriflame mountains.
Such road. according to Roberts.
will open up most attractive tim
bered area, north of the Shrine
camp. now inaccessible to cars. The
road as projected will pass the
base of Garnet Peak, the most at
tractive lookout point in the La
gunas. affording an unparalleled
view after Is minute climb. The
distance from Laguna to Cuyamaca
is approximately nine miles and
the proposed road will bring the
Laguna resort within Is minutes of
Cuyamaca fishing. While the La
guna area has many clear, noun
tain streams, these are too small for
fishing and a road permitting La
guna residents to drive to Cuya-
maca Lake will give enthusiastic
anglers an opportunity to drive
there for a days fishing and will
provide an attractive spot for pic
nicking or for horseback parties to
use as their destination. 1t is
more than 80 miles by the present
route to Cuyamaca. too long dis
tance to make it convenient for
outings at the present time.
This will be the third road lead
ing out of the Laguna area" states
Roberts. THE main highway has
been widened and gravelled and is
now being oiled, making a splendid
mountain road. The government
motorway has also been built this
summer, leading from a point south
of the Laguna post office to La
Posta Greek, and providing a much
needed outlet in case Of fire. There
is an unusual amount of activity
at the various camps and cottage
centers of Mount Laguna this sum-
mer because of the improved road
and great interest is being shown
in acquiring summer camps. At
tractive lots are available for a
small yearly rental and as fast as
these are taken up new sections
will be open. each location so de-
sirable that it is difficult to make
a choice. Laguna resort is now a
two hours drive from FL Centro and
1 believe when everyone realizes its
accessibility and learns of its beauty
it will become the summer home
of Imperial Valley.

BROWNS MAKING
LOTS OF GRIEF
FOR ATHLETICS
BY LEO Ii. PETERSEN

NEW YORK. June 81. U.R)-Not
that Philadelphia or Washington
need have any fears, but the st.
Louis Browns are threatening to SO
some where in the 1881 American
League pennant race.
The Browns were at the top Of
the second division today, thanks
to a winning squirt of five games.
Four of them over the world cham
pion Athletics.
Collins did his bit for the Browns
by pitching a TO victory over the
Red SoX yesterday.
Pat Caraway'S pitching and hit
ting featured Chicago's 4 10 3 VIC
tory over Washington in the other
American League contest played.
Caraway allowed the Senators
only five hits, two Of them home
runs by Kuhel.
The defeat dropped Washington
a game and a half behind the pace
setting Athletics, whose scheduled
game with Detroit was postponed
because Of wet grounds. The New
York Cleveland contest also was
called off on account of rain.
The National League leadership
of the St. Louis Cardinals was cut
to three and one-half games when
they dropped a l6 to decision to
Brooklyn while New York was de-
feating Cincinnati. The Robins
knocked Burleigh Grimes from the
mound in the first inning.
Bill Walker allowed only four
hits in shutting out Cincinnati, 2
to 0. Fullis' home run following
OFarrell's triple gave the Giants
their two runs in the third inning.
The Boston Braves made it two
straight over Chicago, to 3. The
Braves scored enough runs to win
in the first inning when they as
saulted Pat Malone for four runs
before he retired in favor of Sweet
land. Pittsburgh continued its list
less playing and dropped a l3 to
2 verdict to Philadelphia.

Warmer Defeats
Fidel La Barba

HOLLYWOOD, June 81. WP)-
Claude Warner, Bakersfield, was
awarded a ten round decision over
Fidel La Barba here last night.
The decision of Referee Billy
Burke was popular with the fans
but sports writers agreed unanl-
mously that La Barba won the
fight in a walk.
The majority Of experts gave La
Barba all but two rounds and some
gave Warner only one, the third.
The crowd, however, objected to
the tactics OF La Barba, who side
stepped, clinched and slowed up the
fight.
La Barba weighed 1851 pounds
and Warner 124l2.
James Merriott took Pete Moore,
substituting for Pickle Heintz, for a
ride and dumped him for techni-
cal knockout decision in the fifth

II We were Johnny Torres We
would never climb into the local
ring again unless they permitted us
10 bring in a bagful of four leaf elo-
vers, a couple Of dozen rabbits feet
and at least a dozen Of well made
horseshoes.
For Johnny was on the wrong end
of technical knockout decision in
the fourth round of the main event
last night, the verdict going to
Young David, and marking the third
time disaster has overtaken Torres
here.
The first occasion was two years
ago when he faced Bobby Pacho.
It was a great fight until the eighth
round when the rain poured down
IN a deluge that stopped the fight
for a draw decision. On Johnny'S
next appearance Pacho was also his
opponent. Bobby socked Johnny
one in the eye and the eyelid got
rolled under so that Johnny thought
his eye had been knocked out. He
couldn't see and lost that fight on
a technical knockout.
1t wasn't exactly bad luck that
halted Johnny last night, but a ter
rifle right to the heart at the close
of the third round. 1t came just be-
fore the bell stiffened Johnny as
though he had grabbed a Southern
Sierras cable. He didn't fall but he
held on for dear life, and managed
tc make the few steps to his corner
where he flopped on his chair. He
refused to come out for the fourth
round and there was nothing Tor
Referee Tackett to do but give the
decision to David. In not coming

Gle that didn't do it any good.
They only went three rounds and
David took the three of them, the
first and third by shades. but the
second was the Filipino's by a mile.
The cut on Johnny's nose which
bothered some of his followers was
not serious though it looked So L
was a recently received cut that was
reopened and while it bled profuse-

David showed last night that he
is a good little fighter. True, Tor

for one or two flashes, and then
the Filipino held his own with him.
He can take EN-, too. Always a
hard hitter, Torres socked him
square on the jaw but the Filipino
took it and never faltered.

What's in Quality?
Of course, you can buy silk

reliable makes of hose in rvice

even all-silk chiffon, can be

getting hose for less than a

the better grades are more
hose with the quality, the clear

how much less you have to pay
