 "Boop q Doop" Dugay dethroned Johnny ManzO as tOp.n0tch bowler. Our bashful Eddie rolled . fine score of 374, while the best Johnny could do was sos.
 Eric Larson, "The voice with the school girl complexion" and junior member of that famous combination of Larson and Roden" is slowly but surely staging a remarkable of giving you a good trimming, and would you believe 1t? He makes you like it-by yiminy!
 TOnights games mark tho begin. ming of the last round; tho first four teams are pretty well punched up, so we are looking forward to some of the hardest fought matches of the year.
 Our special correspondent asked the captains what team was most likely to finish on top, and here are their quotations:
 Capt Jim Cooney, Athletics. If my game leg can hold out about live more weeks, my team will breeze in easily.
 Capt pobby Hamel. Yankees: I expect a lard battle from the "A's." but if I can convince Bill Hamel to stay home 8 few weeks, we're the | champs.
 Capt Louis Piedmonte, Red Sox: With Riley and Cardy to worry the oppositions, the sox are bound to get sOmewhe.e.
 Capt Castelano, Giants: Just watch our dust going in the home stretch. we'll accept congratulations, now. + Capt Jack Hamel, Cubs: I pick the "A's" to finish on top; but watch them get . beating tonight.
 Capt Al Roden, Tigers: It's bo- tween tho "A's" and Tanks: but my worry is staying ahead of the Pl- rates.
 Capt Leo Hamel, Pirates: pick the Tanks by a nose, but think my Pirates are the best in the league.
 Capt Walter Schultze, Braves: The "A's" look good to me; but watch them all, when they stack up against my Braves.

TRACK AND FIELD MEN ON
PACIFIC COAST GOING GOOD

LOS ANGELES, March 80. U.P)--
A strong suspicion that athletes of
the Pacific coast would continue to
walk off with most of the honors In
the coming national intercollegiate
and national Amateur Athletic
Union track meets, was further
strengthened today as returns from
three big meets on the coast fur
nished fodder for the fans.
Although actual competition has
been underway in the west for just
a few weeks, marks registered in
Saturdays competition were equal
to or better than usual raidseason
performances in many instances.
Perhaps the best mark on the
coast was set by Harry Carter,
Olympic club miller, who won the
four lap event in four minutes,
II $40 seconds in a meet between
the Winged-O performers and the
University of Southern California
here. Cliff Halstead, Southern Cal
ifronia, nosed out for second place
by DR.. Paul Martin, Swiss middle
distance star, was clocked in four
minutes, 81 3-5 seconds.
Frank Wykoff, Trojan ace, de-
spite an epidemic of broken bones
and gashed legs, was in top form.
winning his favorite sprint, the
100-yard dash, in 3-5 seconds, and
coming back to cop the 220-yard
dash in the excellent time of 81 l-5
seconds, which was a world record

Training Camps
fBy United Press

tby Omtt0 TTCSSt
Coast athletes indulged for the
most part today in well earned rest
after a strenuous round of week
end exhibition games.
At the top OF the heap tooay were
the San Francisco Seals, who added
to their extensive laurels by defeat
ing the Chicago Cubs S to 3 for the
third time in succession. Before
this series the Seals won three out
of four games from the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
The Mission Reds took on the
Cubs later in the day but with vast
ly different success, the Cubs WIN
ming II to 8.
The Oakland Acorns also came
out on the wrong end of their game
with the Chicago Cub reserves, los
ing to 0. Sheriff Blake gave the
Acorn batters only four hits.
The Sacramento Senators dropped
an to contest to the Detroit IT,
ger reserves, the last of four games
these teams have played. Owner
Lewis Moreing announced he will
keep Stanley Hack, who has been
working out at third base.
The Seattle Indians, both regu-
lars and reserves, Jared poorly. At
San Jose the Portland Beavers
scored their second straight victory
over the Indian regulars, Is to 8.
The teams play in Woodland, the
Indian headquarters, Tuesday and
Wednesday.

INFIELD BLOWS
BRAWLEY GAME

Brawley forged ahead in Imperial
Valley high school baseball ratings
Saturday afternoon, and Ell Centro
dropped back a notch when the
Brawley nine chalked up a 13 to 6
victory over the El Centrans.
This victory puts Brawley and
Calexico high schools in favored
position to win the Imperial Valley
championship, since each squad has
defeated Ell Centro.
Ten errors by the infield spelled
defeat for Ell Centre Saturday, on
the Brawley field. Cary and John
son, with four errors each, were the
chief offenders. They usually play
errorless ball, but were off form
Saturday.
Ehrnke pitched good ball for Ell
Centre during its six innings, but
his team mates offered no support,
with the result that Brawley scored
10 runs while he was ON the mound,
although the north side team got
only four hits. Wynne, relieving
Ehmke, allowed only two hits and
looked good in the short time he
worked.
Wynne, with three hits and three
runs, was the big factor in what
little scoring Ell Centre did. john
son got two hits and three runs, and
Cunningham two hits.
Brawley's new pitcher, Swinney,
hurled well in his first game. In
spite of heavy hitting at times by
the El Centro batters, he was steady
throughout, and was backed up by
almost errorless ball. He struck out
seven opposing batters. Ehmke also
struck out seven, while Wynne
famed three. Soto caught for
Brawley, while Hester and Price
we're Ell Centro backstops.
The box score shows El Centro
With six runs, nine hits and 10 er-
rors, while Brawley has l3 runs, six
hits and one error.
In a game this weekend Ell Gen.
tro baseballers will meet the Cali
patria nine.

the mile, and took all three places
in the 120-yard hurdles.
Lab-ucherie, with l3 points, was
individual star of the meet. A re-
turn match with Yuma will be held
here in the near future. AS both
teams have a number of individual
stars, the meet should be worth
watching.

but the developer of champions was
SO impressed by Franks flying feet
that he indicated he would bark
on the Glendale youth for 10 points

received another boost when Cap

Four goals On penalties yeSter-
day afternoon aided materially in
the victory of MeXicali cavalry Off
GERS over the Ell Centre polo team,
when the officers outrode and out
played Ell Centro to a to 2 victory
on the Palacio field in Mexicali.
Jess Hill, one of four men on the
team, nevertheless played about
three fourths of the game for his
team. Hill was the only man on
his squad who played a faultless
game, worrying the opposition more
than any other.
Absence of Frank Smyer was felt
keenly by the Ell Centre four
Smyer became suddenly i'll yester-
day, and was unable to play. Tex
Fowler, newcomer to the Ell Cen
tro team, took Smyer's place. Fow-
Ter rode well, but was unable to
prove much of an offensive threat
Many felt that DOC" Strickland
watching from the sidelines, should
have been used in Smyers place.
Dave Willoughbly rode we'll, play
ed we'll and hit the ball, but failed
to cover his man when on the de-
fensive. 1t was Jose Morales. Will
loughby's opponent, who was re-
sponsible for most of the MeXicali
goals.
Johnny Donohue, playing back in
defensive position, found himself
overwhelmed by two men when the
officers started down the field with
the ball
Hill and Willoughby, however,
were largely responsible for El Cen
tro's showing in the contest.
A Mexican captain with an Irish
name was the biggest threat and
most dangerous man on the Mexi-
cali team. Jose C. Kennedy, captain
OF the Mexican four, played bril-
liantly and was ably seconded by
Morales. Carlos Quinones and
Juan Larragoiti constantly worried
the FL Centrans.
The Mexicali men earned two
goals by hard riding, and four more
on penalties inflicted on the Ell
Centre squad.
