FavOriteS Win In
Night Baseball

Favorites won in a double bill on
Wilson Field last night when the
Imperial Valley Hardware baseball
squad trounced the Nevada -Califor-
MIA Electric company, 10 to l, in
the opener and the Shirer Drug
team nosed out the Golden State
Creamery in Is to l3 thriller.
Garcia, Hardware pitcher. was
highly responsible for the break in
the Nev-Cal winning streak when
he held that outfit to four hits. He
was aided by White, who turned in
four hits for the Hardware bunch.
Post, Shirer shortstop, continued
his assault on the offerings of op-
! posing hurlers when he collected
two triples and a single for the
family album. Paris and Howard
hit three each for the Creamery.
Paris, after driving out a double
and two triples, was deprived of a
home run by his own error in fail
ing TO touch first.
Postponement of the contest be-
tween the Mack and Mack nine and
the Calexico All-Star team was
deemed advisable when it was
found a number of the All-Star
players contested for the Hardware
squad last night. The Valley Laun-
dry will substitute for the All-Stars
tonight, however, and should give
the Macks a tough fight.

Mrs. Moody was invincible in 1929

Many a ball has gone over the

since Mrs. Moody first assembled the
tennis throne. When she took the
court against Mrs. Mallory in 1923
she was a gangling, pig-tailed girl

CHOCOLATE GETS
KAYO VERDICT in
BOUT WITH BASS

PHILADELPHIA, July 16. U.P)-
Kid Chocolate, 24-year-old Cuban
negro, and one of the finest boxers
seen in the American ring during
the past decade, today held the
worlds junior lightweight cham
pionship, and stood out as strong
candidate for two more important
titles-the featherweight and light
weight.
The Cuban boxing master. who
was born Eligio Sardinias. climaxed

last night with a seven round TECH

MILLS-SAVADERA
BOUT WILL LEAD
FRIDAYS CARD

Having two days in which to re-
cover from the governors visit and
possible over Indulgence in water
melons. Imperial Valley boxing fans
ought to be in shape tomorrow
night to see the boys throw the
gloves on the fight program that
has been arranged for the occasion.
There are no shining lights" on
the card. but on paper it looks like
a schedule that ought to produce
real fights. Incidentally some OF
the fans who travelled to Los An
geles Monday night to see the Cam
zoneri Payne ruckus, come back
with reports that they see better
scraps here and that the Bobby
Pacho-Goldie Hess scrap was the
best on the card.
Tex Mills. the wild broncho of
the Lone Star plains, will share
major honors with Pete Savadera,
who learned to bounce Mexican
jumping beans down in Mexico City,
and also learned how to bounce
supposedly tough box fighters out
of the ring.
Whether Tex will be able to func-
ton properly, minus chaps, spurs
and six gun, remains to be seen.
On previous appearances here he
showed that he doesn't need any
thing more than the two hammers
on the end of his wrists. However,
reports from the coast section,
where Pete has been battling, indi-
cate that he can do bit of ham
mering. too. If they both hammer
the fans will be the gamers.
Baby Ruiz, VINO makes as many
faces in the ring as Lon CLANCY
used to make on the screen, gets
the semi-final spot against Speedy
Lucas. who is supposed to be COM
bination of lightning, money and
butter on a hot plate, all of which
move rapidly. They do say that
Speedy can do a mans sized job of
humping, and if so, he had better
bring full supply, for the Babe is
one kid who can take plenty of it
and win in the end.
frankie West gets a chance to
shine again with Battling Paul as
his opponent. Paul is having better
than fair success since his return
to the ring and with his speed he
ought to be able to do things to the
slow moving West, who does no
boxing but hits like the fall of a
trip-hammer.
Vincent Solano and Lorenzo
Reyes will open the show and there
ought to be fireworks, for Solano is
the type who can make Reyes fight
and when Lorenzo really has to
fight he can.

pearance will shoW the result of this restful
sleep and new vitality.
Take Ovaltine not only for sleeplessness, but
whenever you feel nervous or run down.
Thousands of people, on doctors advice,
also take it as stomach conditioner. So
whenever you begin to 'feel' your stomach,
just take teaspoonfuls of Ovaltine in half
glass of warm milk with your meal. You will
be surprised at the way it helps your stom-
ach and rests your stomach.
For Ovaltine, when taken with a meal, will
digest the major portion of all the starch
content of other foods you have eaten. In
this way Ovaltine not only relieves distress
but actually helps the cause of the trouble
Also this is one of the reasons why Ovaltine
helps to put you to sleep at night, for diges-
tive unrest is one of the main causes of sleep
lessneSS.
Start tonight! Just phone your druggist or
grocer for tin of Ovaltine. Mix to tea
spoonfuls in glass of warm milk and drink
just before you go to bed.
Whatever you think of the claims made for
Ovaltine, just try it! 1t has brought restful
sleep and teemlng energy to thousands.
You'll be surprised at what it does for you.

A|RFORCE
Dominion Officials Declare
Uncharted Course Fraught
With Peril at This Season

OTTAWA. July 81 0.N.SD.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and
officers of the Royal Canadian
air Forces today were at logger
heads over the route which the
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh
should take on their flight across
Northern Canada en- route to
Japan.
Colonel Lindbergh has refused
to accept the suggestion of the
Canadians that the northern
route selected by the American
flier might be especially
dangerous at this time of year, 1t
was understood.
Insists On Unmapped Route
He has insisted on taking the
uncharted route to the north in
stead of the more SOutherly way
along the Mackenzie River, which
the Canadian flierS have urged
him to follow. The southern
route was followed by Post and
Gatty in their record dash
around the world.
Colonel Hanford MacNider,
United States minister to Canada.
today belittled the difference of
opinion between Lindbergh and
the Canadians and said that was
no serious cleavage on the ques-
tion of routes but that "details
of the route in the northern
directio~ were discussed at some
length by Lindbergh and
Canadian Tiers"
Color i and Mrs. Lindbergh ar
rived here yesterday from North
Haven. Me-, after flight of three
and one-half hours They were
welcomed here by officials and
aviatorS and went Immediately to
the home of Colonel MacNider.
Continue Trip Tomorrow
They planned to remain here
until tomorrow, hopping then for
Moose Factory on James Bay, the
next stop of their 70O0-mile trip
to the Orient. Moose Factory is
461 miles from Ottawa.
Captain Mandesley, of the Can
adian Air Force, said he strongly
opposed Lindbergh going from
Baker Lake or Beverley Lake
further west to Bathurst Inlet,
thence to Coronation Gulf and
from there to Aklavik. He added:
81 am strongly opposed to
this route. 1t has been flown
but once successfully and then
there were two machines. For
a single plane to attempt this
flight is running an unjustifi-
able risk"
