BAILEY
BOUT TO HEAD
FRIDAYS CARD

Nose Bailey, clever and shifty
! colored boy who has come up from
the preliminary ranks in the past
year to be considered one of the
best lightweights in Southern Cali
fornia, will face Louie Silva, a rug
ged, two-fisted puncher, who is also
skilful boxer, in the main event
at the Imperial Valley Athletic
club tomorrow night.
Bailey was over here from San
Diego a few years ago, fighting in
the preliminary class, and has just
finished an extensive campaign in
the northwest in which he has had
considerable success.
Silva has fought here several
times in recent weeks, putting Louie
Reyes away and also giving Christy
Lewis trouncing.
In the semi-final Andy Arm
strong, who decisively whipped Art
Monroy last week, will mix 1t up
with Bobbie Ratzliff, who ran into
trouble on last weeks card with
Battling Paul. The latter sank the
coast boy in the fifth round.
This ought to be a good scrap,
and will be better one if Andy is
unable to connect on the Ratzliff
chin. That is Bobbie's weak spot
and If he can protect it he can
make trouble for the colored boy.
Johnny Cavos, former Central
Union high school football star, will
make belated start in the local
arena by taking on Frankie West in
the special event. Johnny was sup
posed to fight last week but in
jured his hand and was unable to
pass the doctors examination. His
hand is now reported in good shape,
and If he can get by West, he ought
to have q few more assignments on
the local cards.
Louie Reyes, the tough boy from
Brawley. who always makes a fight
of it, is in the opener with Ray
Golden of San Diego as his oppo-
nent. Reyes was in the semi final
spot for several weeks here, but met
with reverses and is out to battle
his way back to higher rating.
The usual low summer prices will
prevail tomorrow and ladies with
escorts will be admitted without
charge. First bout is set for
o'clock.

This Woman Lost
Ga Pounds of Fat

Mrs. H. Price of Woodside, L. L.,
writes: "A year ago l weighed 100
lbs. l started to take Kurschen and
now I weigh 126 and never felt bet
ter in my life and what's more,
look more like 20 yrs. old than the
mother of children, one 10 and the
other 18. Every one of my friends
say it's marvellous the way I re-
duced."
To loose fat wit hspeed take a half
teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass
of hot water before breakfast every
morning-don't miss a morning-an
85 cent bottle lasts weeks-get it
at Clements Drug Store, Valley Drug
Co.. Shirer Drug Co., or Ell Centre

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
in T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

SEABRIGHT, N. j., July 80 U.P)
When Miller Higgins, that little
ball of concentrated dynamite, was
driving his New York Yankees of
1926, '27 and % through the Amer
ican league with all the subtlety OF
an armored tank gone beserk, base
ball men said the game never had
seen the likes of the mite manager
and his battering babies; that the
slugging, blasting men of Manhat-
tan were the outstanding team OF
all time.
True, mates. the : nkees were a
tremendous machine oack in those
days, what with Pennock, Pipgras
Hoyt and the rest pitching like de-
mons and Ruth, Gehrig and COM
pany hitting any and all balls out
OF the lot and into Mrs. Greenberg IS
back yard. But the Yankees. great
as they were, are likely to be dis
placed as the team of the age
when September fades into October
and Connie Mack presents his Phil
adelphia Athletics = three times
champions of the American league
If these same Athletics go on to
whip the best in the National for
their third successive worlds series
(something that has never been ac-
complished) then the AS and not
the Yanks must be classed as the
super outfit of all time.
That the AS will win in the Amer
ican is as certain as death and
taxes, if not more so. Moreover
they are almost sure thing to
better the Yankees American mark
of ITO games won in 1927 and it is
not entirely beyond the bounds of
reason to expect Mister Mack's boys
to surpass the all-tiine record of
116 games won in a single season
established by the Chicago Cubs in
1906.
To turn this latter trick the Ath-
letics must win As of their remain
ing Sc games. A tremendous task,
it's true. but one entirely within the
ability of team that today is IL
full games ahead of the field and
ticking off victories with a regu-
larity worthy of first class metro
tone.

Young Plan 51as and Dawes Repara-

instance, were of points. Uruguay SIS

tone in exchange. Serbian rs gained
point and italian descriptions were
higher Austrian and Hungarian bonds

other prime foreign obligations were

of opinion on the stock market con-

it is doubtful that worthwhile gem

Pask g. walbridge. Stocks appear to

Hornblower a. Weeks.-We feel the

the PruSsian plebiscite Sunday the

future.
Clark Williams & Coin view Of

tinued irregularity in stock market price
movements can be expected.
