MOTOR CARAVAN
WILL MAKE TRIP
OVER OLD ROAD

Because of the enthusiasm over
the last motor caravan to. the des-
ert, H. L. Bush. chairman of the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce
highway committee, is arranging
another motor trip for those who
are interested in becoming better
acquainted with desert and noun
tain scenes surrounding El Centre
to be made next Sunday. This trip
will be to Canebrake Canyon and
OH to the vallecitos Stage Station
and Campbells ranch and will
cover three interesting routes, that
of the old Butterfield Stages. the
proposed Imperial Highway, and
the route which will ultimately form
the direct road to the Laguna noun
tains.
The party will meet at the Ell
Centre chamber headquarters at s
o'clock Sunday morning and start
promptly at that time in order
that the mountains may be reached
in the morning, before the heat of
the day. Bush, who is familiar with
all the details of this route will
lead the party and word has been
sent to Campbell's ranch that the
party will stop there for short
visit. Plans are that each car party
will take its own lunch and the car
avan will stop at one of the at
tractive picnic places along the
route and eat luncheon.
1t is expected that the desert
flowers along the way will be in
bloom and if SO the desert and foot
hills will present a beautiful sight.
This road is not difficult to trav-
erse and the old stage stations
which are still standing are filled
with historical interest for the
sight-seers. In addition to the bril-
liant flowers at this time of year.
the octollo and cholla cactus are
now blooming and rare treat is
In store for lovers of desert scenes
and desert blooms if they make the
motor trip next Sunday.

ATTORNEY ASKS
PERMISSION TO
ABANDON CASE

Because his client refused to fol-
low his advice in legal matters, r.
B. Whitelaw of Whitelaw and
Whitelaw, attorneys, yesterday az
ternoon filed a motion that he be
allowed to withdraw as attorney for
Horace c. Kellog in the latter's suit
against his son. Charles Kellog.
The suit of father against son was
filed to quiet title to homestead land
/, near the southern end of Salton Sea.
The father asserted that his son
claimed some right TO the property,
but that the claim is unjustified.
The son asserted that he advanced
large sums of money on the land.
After many continuances, the case
has been set for trial April IA.
Whitelaw asked hearing on his mo-
tipn to withdraw April 3. in order
that Kellog may be given time to
substitute attorneys.
Efforts of Charles II. Kellog to
reach a settlement have proven fu-
tile. said Whitelaw in an affidavit,
although the settlements offered
seemed to the attorney reasonable.
In the matter of pleadings before
the court, also. the elder Kellog has
refused to follow advice Of counsel.
according 10 the affidavit.
The plaintiff refuses to go on trial
on the theory of his counsel, and
it is impossible to go to trial on the
theory of the plaintiff, said White
law.
It would be unfair for all coll
cerned for Whitelaw to continue as
attorney for the plaintiff, he said.

FRIDAY BOXING
CARD PROMISES
LOTS OF ACTION

Two little men who know now to
fight and who want to fight all the
time they are in the ring. will face
each other in the main event at the
Imperial Valley Athletic club to-
morrow night to finish off battle
which started last week.
Young David, the sensational Fill
ipino fighter. who is a valley pro-
duct, will try TO repeat his knock
out of Babe Adams. And Babe will
be in there fighting for all he has,
10 square accounts for the trounc-
ing he took last week And as a
tip to the fans it might be said that
Babe is likely to do it.
He jumped into the fight last
week shortly after arriving on the
coast from st. Paul, when Jimmy
Alvarado. booked to fight David,
was unable to appear. Although out
of condition Adams gave David all
the fight he wanted until the fourth
round, when he went down from.
exhaustion and from several ulin-
territorial low blows which David
had thrown.
Adams Immediately jumped back
in the ring at the conclusion of
the fight and asked for return
match. David was right behind
him with an acceptance. and they
agreed to go 10 rounds this week.
Both boys are fast, good boxers,
they can hit and they can take
plenty of punishment. They crowd
ed more fight into four rounds
than the average fight has in 10.
In the semi-final, George Good
rich, who has been out of the ring
for a couple of years, will try a
comeback with Cecil Jordan as his
opponent. Some years ago George
used to be the big attraction at the
local arena. His fights with Pat
McNulty and Joe Brown are we'll
remembered by the fans. None of
them will ever forge. the night Joe
Brown dragged himself up from the
floor to knock George for a loop
after the latter apparently had the
battle won.
If Jordan can produce anything,
the fans ought to see plenty of
fireworks. George has kept in
condition but has done no fighting
for long time and he ought TO be
in shape If he ever is going TO be.

fellow who has made hiself solid
with local fans, will take on Sant-

NOTED DRIVERS
OF RACING CARS
TOPERFORM HERE

If you can't go to Indianapolis
for the world-famous Five Hundred
Mile Automobile Classic, drop over
to Imperial county fair grounds on
Sunday afternoon. April II, and see
the same big-shot racers who will
put the thrills in the Indianapolis
event, tearing up the dirt In the I'M
perial Century, hundred mile race
that will be the big event In an
afternoon of auto races"
The foregoing declaration was
made today by Ben Hulse, president
of the Imperial county fair board
and one of the instigators of the
big auto race program that will
bring thousands of fans from all
parts OF Southern California and
Arizona.
The Imperial Century will be the
last big auto racing event in the
west preceding the indianapolis af-
fair. From the local track many of
the drivers will entrain for the east
and several of the machines that
are to appear here are to be ship
ped direct to Indianapolis. Hulse
stated
1--WE are assured by the A. A. A
authorities, under whom the April
IL races are sanctioned, that the
drivers in the hundred mile event
are sure to put everything they have
into the race because they will want
to know just what their machines
can be expected to do at Indian
apolis."
Such nationally known drivers as
Ernie Triplett, who has been
knocking em over" at Ascot and
other coast tracks; Francis Quinn,
"Stubby" Stubblefield, Walt May,
Babe Stapp, Louie Meyers, Wild"
Bill Cummings. Herman Schurch,
Freddie Davis, the latter two being
local boys; Johnnie Krieger, Earl
Mansell, Kelly Petillo, Mel Kenealy,
George Conner, Bob Scovell, Fred
Merzney and Chester Gardner, are
already signed for the event. Joe
Bush, who is in charge of arrange
ments for the races, returned today
from a trip to Los Angeles, and
states that all preliminaries for
making the race official, have been
arranged.
The Imperial race course is rated
as one of the finest dirt tracks in
the west. In previous racing events
some of the same drivers who are
to appear here on April IL, knocked
off new dirt track records.
The Hundred Mile event is to be
the longest even ever run on the
Imperial track. Officials have ap-
proved the track and state that it
will stand up under the strain of
the terrific speed.
Imperial county is very fortunate
to get this race" Bush stated upon
his return from the coast. There
are many larger communities who
would give much to have the wind
up event just preceding the Indian
apolis races, for every racing fan
knows that the drivers will go the
limit to try out their machine. Each
driver is anxious to determine
whether his machine is in perfect
running order and the hundred mile
grind is pretty certain to bring to
light any defects that may be pres
ent.
II hope that every person in the
valley will make it point to have
q seat in the grand stand or bleach
ers at the county fair grounds track
on April H. Almost everybody
would give lot to see the Indian
apolis races. Here is chance to
see the best drivers who will appear
at Indianapolis, trying to prove their
machines in test race

LOS ANGELES, April 2. U.P) -
The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles
Angels open an abbreviated series
of two games here today, with the
Hornsby team fighting to break even
in its spring training games. The
Cubs, losing yesterday TO Pittsburgh
by an IL TO score. found themselves
with only II victories against IL de-
feats this spring.
A seven run blast Of the Pirates
drove Bud Teschout from the mound
in the fourth inning, and it was
useless for the Cubs to try to over
take that lead.
AS to hitting. though, glance at
this: Home runs, Grantham, Tray
nor, McClanahan, Hornsby. Zack
Taylor; three-base hits, English,
Hemsley, Jensen; doubles, Hornsby,
Grimm, Jensen, Traynor, Suhr and
Hemsley. The other eleven blows
were measly singles.
LOS ANGELES, April Q. tU.P) -
A double play In the ninth inning
with the bases loaded prevented a
Fresno State rally, and Occidental
College won its second game of a
series here yesterday, II to 7. Stony
Johnston hit a home run with
Schroeder on base in the first In
ming. and the Tigers we're never
headed. Parsons and ToombS each
hit three safeties for the visitors.
SAN DIEGO, April 2. U.P) Dave
Barbee, 1880 Coast league home run
champ, hit a four-ba6e blow with
Callahan on base in the last of the
ninth, to give the Hollywood Stars
an IL TO 10 victory over the San
Diego nine, made up of four Holly
wood players and five local boys.
Anderson held Hollywood to four
hits until the eighth inning, but
folded. He also hit four times in
four trips. Rowe, San Diego, hit
two home runs and Green of the
Sheiks added another.

On this hop we experience ed every kind of weather imagin- able.'' Post in describing it per sonally, while plotting the plans, said: T few for three hours and half Sunday night. with the weather so bad outside of the plane that l didn't see more than the class on the cockpit 0f the plane for that length of time. thought then, Well. I would a damn sight rather croak flying across the Der ing Sea th- crack the snip down south after I'm almost home. We managed finally to see enough light 10 guide the ship in safety and all the way coming across Boring Sea We saw miles and miles of ice flows, moving steadily northward, into the straits. Cold and hay visibility prevented US from going to a high altitude We tried it once and almost froze to death Our course was a lic,lc north of Nome in a semi-circle and for the last two hundred miles into Solo mon we flew above the clouds. When we came down underneath them, we were above safety, only a few n,iles from the held at Solomon"
 "Gatty is some navigator, and I'm strong for him." said Post. when he got c1t of the plane at Solomon.
 Getty, when ne got out and shook hands with Wiley, said to him; Wiley, you're sure some pilot; We made it and you certainly know how to fly that plane. I thought We were gone once, hTt I know nv that when you arc at the stick, we are going to pull thru"
 When they set foot on the field at Solomon, Post said My. but we are glad to put our feet on good American ground again. 16 hours in that bloody plane over water and no-ma s-land is enough for us but its colder than son pf-a-snn' up here.'
 Both the fiiers turned the ser viring of the plane over to George Laiblin. of the "Indepc ndent" Air ways. He supplied the plane with 100 gallons of gas and about 15 gallons of oil. Mea nwhile the two fers had a good meal, and then prepared to take of. Then was when they experienced their troub les, both in getting out of t", sand and when Gatty was injured.
 Several people were on hand to help in anything to get them on their way Movie films and still pictures for the outside were talk en and the fljers took them with them in the plane where they will be delivered in New York
 And SO ended a brSef general account of their experiences in flying half, way around the globe. In case any one is interested in them a month from now, you will probably find their syndicated story of their entire flight from New York around the world to Nome and back to New York, in the New rE Times.

 Flying from Moscow across the breadth of Russia and Siberia. the round the world aviators Post and GatIy were feeling fine, and their plane was holding up fairly well when they arrived at Solomon, al though their nerves were on edge after continuous flying for six days.

They said We refused to stay for the banquet. and told them we had Q get going, but apparently that d In't have much affect on them for they turned around and issued or d"rs forbidding us from taking of the field. and eveh went so far as to place detail of soldiers aroun9 he plane to make sure We didn't get away. Well. what wee we to do? We decided then We had bet fer stay, which we did. and had q damn good time.''
 Wiley Post declared The Soy- jets are OK; they did everything possible under the sun for us. and tried to speed us along as fas; as We could go, hoping that we broke he record all to smit hereens."
 Everything went fine with the plane all the way to Blagoves- cho nsk where they landed in the mud. Post. in telling of the in cident, said We planned to pick up weather etc. at that place. and wen We arrived over there it was almost dusk and all we could sec Was q field of mud and water but We had to land so put her down. As soon as we stopped, the plane settled down until the mud GOV cred the entire landing gear and the plane rested On her belly. We finally managed to pull her out, with assistance from whole reg: meut of soldiers and ropes, and then put her up on high ground and started of. We managed to get to khabarovsk after the take of where we delayed long enough to check onr motor"
 Tomorrow, the story will be con tinued, due to the lack of space in todays issue. It gets more in teresting as they proceed, and when you read the rest. you'll like it.
 Wiley Post said. after eating good American food at Solomon, brought to them by ail'plane from the larder of Mrs. Rose Lescher
