CHAMBER PLANS
TO MAKE CHURCH
SURVEY OF CITY

At the solicitation OF several of
the city's pastors the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce is sponsor
ing a religious survey or census OF
Ell Centro. Three years ago the
chamber sponsored a similar activ-
ity and the results were very grati-
flying to the pastors Of the city.
Details of the plan were worked
out at a meeting at Ell Centre
chamber headquarters held yester-
day and attended by Rev. Bailey,
Rev. Gum, Rev. Malan, Rev. Gray
and Manager Hays of the chamber
of commerce. 1t was decided to
district the city in block parcels and
each Of the church organizations
participating will take one sector
or section of the city and eacn has
agreed to conduct the canvass of
such section. While several of the
city ministers did not attend yes
terday's conference, every clergy
man of the city has signified his
intention of assisting in the work.
The date of the survey has been
tentatively set for one day during
the first week in November Pastors
will announce from their pulpits on
Sunday the plans for the survey
and will ask for volunteer workers
or name church members to con-
duct the survey Based on the ex-
perience of past years, Hays states
that he believes that the survey car
be completed in a single day, per-
haps in one single morning. Much
commendation is expressed on all
sides of the move to make this
church survey of the city as the
information thus obtained is of
much value to the churches and
their pastors. Forms are being
prepared by the chamber of COM
merce staff and city maps are be-
ing divided so that the work may
be carefully planned and efficiently
conducted during the morning of
the day selected.

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. W.P)-
Franklin Adams, counselor Of the
Pan American Union, has discover
ed what he believes to be health
giving properties in lead pencils.
While not confessing to the numbe.
of pencils he devours in one day,
Adams enjoys the reputation OF
being the champion pencil consumer
of the world.
Last week he celebrated his 63rd
birthday. He has worked for the
union % years and has been absent
on account of illness but one day.
That unique record, he asserts, is
due to his daily ration Of pencils.
The one day he lost was the day
the messenger short-changed him
on pencils, and he languished forth
with.
His preference is for heXagonal
yellow pencils. Hexagonal because
they afford more biting surface, and
yellow because he has found yellow
paint to have a distinctive flavor,
exquisite to the epicure.

Night GOlfing
Is Successful

CLEVELAND, Oct. "a. (U.P)-
Night golf, aided only by the light
of q pale moon, was successfully
played here last night by Harold
Paddock, president of the Moreland
Hills Country club, who scored 38,
three over par, on the first nine
holes.
A Jest in the clubhouse started
the demonstration, Paddock con-
tending to several cronies that if
one suppressed his hooks and slices,
night golf was a simple matter.
Paddock proved his point by man
aging to stay out of the bunkers.
Friends held a white handkerchief

FUTURE FARMERS
HEAR ADDRESS BY
STATION EXPERT

w. w. Weeth. manager of the
University of California experiment
station at Meloland, was the speak
er this week before the Future
Farmers of America organization at
Central Union high school.
Weeth gave a detailed description
of a large number of experiments
which are being conducted under
his supervision at the experiment
station. The boys were especially
interested in his discussion of mill
dew-resistant cantaloupes.
His explanation of the expert
ments to determine the correct
time for the cutting of alfalfa also
proved very interesting. Weeth said
that the plots which had been har-
vested when one-half in bloom had
given by far the best results. He
described the Sudan grass plots in
which an attempt is being made to
produce absolutely pure seed which
will be entirely free from Johnson
grass seed.
According to Weeth, Berseen clo-
yer has a big possibility in Imperial
Valley as it makes a good pasture
and fair hay, with the result that
it increases butterfat production
about 10 per cent over the produc-
ton when alfalfa is fed.
In addition, experiments with the
following crops were described:
Peas, oats barley, flax and wheat.
The large seeded horse bean,
which has been produced in the ex-
pertinent station with a crop of
about 81 tons per acre, green weight,
and 7 tons. dry weight, is proving
very satisfactory as winter cover
crop. Other successful winter cover
crops tried, in the order Of their i'm
portance are: Small horse
bean, Calcarata vetch, wooly-podded
vetch, and fenugreek.

WORLDS WELTER
CROWN AWARDED
TO YOUNG BOXER

BOSTON, Oct. "a. U.P)-The
worlds welterWeight championship
belonged to Lou Brouillard of Dan
ielson, Conn, today by virtue of his
hammer and tongs victory over Jack
Thompson of Chicago at Boston
Garden last night before 1920 per-
sons.
Brouillard snatched the cham
pionship from the Chicago negro in
the face of predictions that his
youth would be no match for the
skilled Thompson. The Connecti-
cut boxers 10-round decision victory
in July in a no-title contest was
discounted because Of Thompson's
poor condition.
Brouillard weighed 146& and
Thompson l46.
All but two rounds were awarded
to Brouillard The second was
counted even and the l4th was won
by Thompson on a whirlwind finish
that had Brouillard backing into the
ropes.
Brouillard scored four knockdowns
but one of them was gained after
a momentary wrestling bout and
was not clean-cut. The first two
we're in the 10th, LOUIS best of many
good rounds.
Thompson, groggy from a severe
pounding, was sent to the canvas
by a steady tattoo of blows and re-
mained there for a count of two. He
jumped up only to be sent down
again and this time he remained for
a count Of nine.
In the 18th Thompson sank for
a count of seven under a left to the
heart. He won the next round but
the 18th was Brouillards.

SPARADE'
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
limited Press Staff COrreSpOnden

NEW YORK, Oct. "a. U.P)-The
New York State Athletic commits
sion, of which William Muldoon, the
greatest Roman of them all" is
chairman, today was in undisputed
possession of the all-time record for
muddled thinking and inconsistency.
The commissioners, or the three
dumb dukes, as they have been apt
ly called on more than one occasion,
clinched both records yesterday
when they created a new dread
naught" heavy class and refused to
recognize Tommy Loughran as fit
opponent for Primo Carnera.
1t is not hard to imagine who
was behind the creation Of the
"dreadnaught' or super -palooka
class. Mister Muldoon, who used to
be quite the shakes as a wrestler
and who still thinks like one, has
been planning this new class for
more than year.
Members of the super-palooka
club must weigh not less than 220
and stand 6 feet 3 or more bare
footed. Mister Muldoon named
Carnera, Victorio Campolo, Walter
Cobb. George Godfrey and Jose
Santa charter members. The fact
that Godfrey is barred from fight
ing in this state made no differ
ence to Muldoon. The super-pa-
lookas must fight only fellow mem
bers, and will not be allowed to pick
on 20O-pound midgets.
Creation of this extra division is
a direct about-face on the part OF
the commission. For several years
it has been down on trick" classes,
refusing to recognize the Junior
lightweight and Junior welterWeight
champions.
I'll lay you even money that
Einstein could not figure out why
the same commission barred Lough-
ran as an opponent for Camera, and
then, in the same breath okayed
Campolo as a fare for the big Ital-
ian. Loughran all but chased Cam
polo out of the ring here a few
months back.
Just to make sure its claim to
the goofy championship would not
be soon challenged, the commission
issued an edict that hereafter no
boxer may skip a class. If light
weight outgrows his division he may
fight as a welter but cannot meet
middleweights. The commission
didn't say, but this ruling looks like
a direct slap at Mickey Walker, who
jumped the light heavies for a crack
at the heavies. Walker is the guy
who gave Jack Sharkey, Muldoon's
pride and joy, such miserable eve
ming lately.

Ike Price defeated BraWley high
school Z to 0 on the Brawley field
last night, ably aided and abetted
by Pat Fisher, Jones, Berry, Byrd
and other members of the Central
Union high school football team,
playing the best game seen in the
valley in many long moons, before
the largest crowd ever to gather on
the Brawley field.
Grandstands and sidelines were
closely crowded, while some who felt
the depression too keenly watched
from trees skirting the fringe of
the field. Ell Centro sent a crowd
as large or larger than that con-
tributed by Brawley.
Brawley's stone wall line was
weak sister before long passes from
Price TO Fisher. The aerial attack
was responsible for Ell Centro's one
touchdown, when Price hurled the
white pigskin used in this game 80
yards through the chilly ozone into
the waiting hands of Fisher, who
had sneaked away to a place he
knew where he could make good
run to touch the sod behind the
goal line. On a line buck Price
carried the ball over for the extra
point, the last made during the
game.
This came in the third quarter
after the teams had ranged back
and forth over the length Of the
field for one entire half without

 IN GOLF TOURNEY
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

(OnlLcQ freSS 0tdH SOFrcSIOuUcntI
 Olympia Fields. Chicago. June 25 legiate golf championship entered the quarter-final round today with four middle westerners, three east erners and one southerner left in the running.
 Pairings for the ss-hold quarter finals follow:
 [, Upper half:
 John Florio. Ohio State, vs James Reston, Illinois.
 Robert Kepler, Ohio State, vs Sid ney Moves, Yale.
 Lower half:
 George T. Dunlap, Jr., Princeton, vs William Redmond, Notre Dame.
 Jess Rainwater, Tulane, vs Tom my Aycock. Yale.
 Rolling Along.
 Surviving yesterdays two 18-hole matches in the blazing heat, little 11S-pound George Dunlap of East Orange, N. J., and Princeton, be- came a favorite to retain the title he won last year from Lawrence Moller, Notre Dame. Moller was put out in the first round yesterday by Sidney Moves, Yale. and 2.
 Both Champions.
 One of Dunlap's chief rivals for the title is Tommy Aycock. bespec- tacled Yale lad who halls from Jacksonville, Fla, and won the in- tercollegiate crown in 1929 but did not compete last year.
 Dunlap and Aycock were favored to meet in the lower bracket semi final, with the winner likely to go on to the title.
 Two victors in 21-hole match yesterday, Robert Kepler, Ohio State, and Sidney Moves, Yale, met in the other top brakcket match.

The field of players ranged all the way from the writer, who protested at the merger handicap of 27 allotted to him, to one "Mr Connalley," who in private and screen life is known as Robert Tyre Jones. A handicap of plus ten was allotted to "Mr Connalley." Con- nalley, presumably was given an alias in honor of ''One Eye" Con- nalley simply because Bobby Jones does not belong in the Johnny Walker Cup" matches. "One Eye" made his name by breaking in on such affairs as prize fights without being in any way deserving of ad- mission.
 It's a Secret
 The Johnny Walker Cup" com mittee announced confidentially that Jones was playing under an alias simply because Jones and his play ing companions did not want to per- form before a gallery. The effective ness of this move Is best shown in the fact that every one of the 10,- 900 Columbus taxi drivers, along with the less glamorous of the cit- zenry were whispering behind hands that Bobby Jones is playing golf here to-day. A near record gall lery was assured.
 Call Him Gene!
 Among the lesser and greater lights of the field are James Joseph Tunney, who told the writer he Charles Francis Coe, magazine writer, and most of the golf writers of Chicago and New York.

 Meantime, Charles Whitcombe, captain of the British team, and Walter Hagen, leader of the United States forces, were making final de- cisions about the lineup for the Ry- der cup contests. Two-ball four somes will be played tomorrow and singles contests Saturday.
 Horton Smith Bcnchcd
 It was believed that the lineups would call for a singles match be- tween Hagen and George Duncan. Each captain has ten players at his disposal. Hagen is expected to use himself, Johnny Farrell, Gene Sar- azen, Billy Burke, Leo Diegel, Al Espinosa, Densmore Shute and Wiffy Cox. In the doubles, he may substitute Horton Smith or Craig Wood for Shute. Smith was an original team member but his play has been off recently.
 The British lineup is expected to include Captain Whitcombe. George Duncan, Archie Compston, w. H. Davies, Abe Mitchell, Fred Robson, Ernest Whitcombe and Syd Saster- book. Bert Hodson and Arthur Havers are other British players available.

BABE HERMAN ON
 CANzONERI CARD
 TONIGHT AT ROCK
Former Kaplan Nemesis Meets Jerry Emard = Dubois Boxes SOmbathy

l Al Weill presents another me 1 program of bouts at the White City
 Stadium this evening, with Tony l Canzoneri, worlds lightweight
 champion, sharing the spot light in
 the ten-round feature attraction,
 with Herman Perlick, Kalamazoo,
 Mich. pounding star. The encoun-
 ter will top 34-round card and
 the first bout is scheduled for S:S0 o'clock.
 Canzoneri arrived in New Haven | early yesterday and is in fine phy- seal shape and anxious to get into the ring with Perlick tonight. He is highly confident of coming through with win and even be- came a bit boastful in contending that he would put the Kalamazoo artist to sleep before the fight was very old.
 Talks of K; o. In the event that the little Italian sensation is successful of making his boasts a reality, he will have accomplished something quite few of the leaders in the lightweight division have failed to do by wide margin. Pedlick has met great many god mixers but he has yet to go down under sleep producing punch.
 Perlick, on the other hand, has his guns pointed to give Tony all the fight he is looking for. Perlick says that he has met men of Can- zoneris calibre before, and as he held no fears for them neither does he fear the Italian flash. He, too, is confident of winning and he goes further to say that Canzoneri will k'tow that he has been in real battle when it is all over. Remember Babe? The semi-f1nal attraction billed for eight rounds will bring together
 Babe Herman of New York and Jerry Emard. Holyoke, Mass. light weight sensation. Herman will sub- stitute for Henry Perlick, who was erased from the card due to a badly damaged left eye received in a workout in New York last Satur- day. At first it was thought that Henry would be able to go through with his bout with Emard but at the advice of his physician he was ordered not to take part in the fight Henry arrived in New Haven yesterday and will be on hand to act as a second to his brother Her man.
 Matchmaker Weill made a fine substitution. Fans will remember Herman's great fights with Kid Rap Ian at New Haven and the worlds featherweight championship bout at Waterbury a few years ago. In one of the six round matches Romeo Dubois of this city and Jules Sumbathy, Bridgeport mitt- ster will have it out. These boys were booked for an 1S-minute ses- son on the last card, but threat ening weather cut the bout to four rounds with Dubois getting the
 palm. It was a great battle while it lasted and it should carry plenty of action in it tonight. The fans will enjoy the encore.
 The second six-rounder will show Maxie Pink, clever New Yorker and lilly Kohut of Brooklyn, trading punches. Both ofthese boys are hard punchers and it is more than likely that they will steal some of the thunder from the rest of the card.
 Weill has a found rounder for the opening attraction. It will have as | it's principals Steve Vane of Derby, | former amateur sensation and Jim | Paternostro, Newington punching specialist. The bout should put the
 fans in good form for the warfare
 which will follow.
