LONG DELAYS

FANS
By FRANK G. MENKE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2.-UrlCss
the judges of the Olympic races
proceed to speed up their deci-
sions, the entire multitude which
has been attending the leg muscle
combats will go completely daffy
from shattered nerves due to
prolonged waiting for verdicts.
Nothing like the indeciSVeneSS,
the prolonged poWWoWS and the
age-long discussions over who
won a heat, who was second and
so on ever has happened OH the
American Continent.
The officials have taken from
10 to is minutes to make up their
minds as to who was who and
what was what on duels where
the finish was of blanket variety:
they have held up the official
declaration anywhere from 10
minutes to more than an hour.
Taking Their Time
And it has been their quaint
custom to order the next race
delayed until such time as they
have come to conclusion rela.
tive to the preceding heat.
The policy of there's no hurry
about this" has been extended
even to field contests. Often the
combatants have long gone from
the scene of conflict before any
announcement is made as to who
won and usually there is long
delay after th0t in clarioning the
complete result.
About SO per cent of the eX-
pertS on field, who were directly
on the finish line. and just that
number of humans who were
seated opposite it in the stands,
thought that Ralph Metcalfe had
won the 100 meters by a margin
of more than a foot going away.
The announcer backed them up
with his immediate statement:
"Unofficially the result is Met,
calfe, Tolan and Jonath."
Unofficial Announcement
Metcalfe was given a roaring re-
ception. Tolan loped over and
extended a hand of congratula-
ton. The others in the race
tossed "CheerioS' at Metcalfe.
Lawson Robertson, chief coach of
the American track and field
team and who was directly on
the line, thought Metcalfe was vic
tor by a comfortable margin.
Those who had wagered against
Metcalfe paid off. Newspaper bull
letins were flashed stating that
Metcalfe had won, Tolan was sec
ond and Jonath third.
While the crowd sat and waited
for something else to happen, and
occasionally watched the hammer
throWers doing their stunts, the
judges continued in a huddle.
They huddled and huddled, and
then, to the utter astonishment of
the crowd, which sat mute during
the announcement-and after
1.-THE loud speaker doomed that
it was "Tolan, Metcalfe and Jo-
nath."
Those pondering judges must
have realized that they booted
something, because when the
semifinals for girls was run, and
the finish was close, they took no
further snap Judgment" This
time they went into 81 different
huddles, and then repeated the
exercises. Meanwhile, the girls,
who were lined up for the second
semifinal, were told that the race
would be delayed until such time
as the judges made up their minds
as to who finished where in the
first Semifinal.

RIVERSIDE PECAN
GROWER MAKING
VALLEY SURVEY

r. A. Harris. riverside pecan
grower, who spent several weeks III
Imperial Valley before Christmas
looking over the pecan situation in
this section of the state, was again
a visitor at the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce yesterday. He is ac-
companied by Mrs. Harris.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris stated that
they expect TO remain in Imperial
this week TO study conditions here
in connection with the growing of
pecans and that it is possible they
will later take up their residence
here if they find conditions as they
expect.
For many years a pecan grower
and investigator, Harris has a well
established pecan orchard in Riv-
erside where he has done much eX-
perimenting and has produced a
new variety of nut particularly
adapted to commercial purposes
He stated today at the local cham
Der that he believed Imperial Val
ley is the ideal location for pecan
growing and that there is a need
here for permanent crops. He be-
lieves that the pecan acreage will
show steady increase in this COM
munity and that eventually pecans
will be one of the major perman-
ent crops of this section.

A NOTABLE CAREER
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

THE career of William Wrigley, closed
by death yesterday at Phoenix, is typ
lcal of the career of many of the nation s
greatest leaders.
Comparatively few of the millions who
knew of Wrigley as the chewing gum
king, owner of big league baseball
team, a whole island and numerous other
properties, knew also that at one time
he slept on the sidewalks, with his coat
for a pillow.
A street gamin, he was, living a hand
to mouth existence in the metropolis Of
the country, but unlike other gamins, he
was not content to remain such.
The same ambition for better things,
which caused him to run away from
home to avoid working in the disagree
able atmosphere of his fathers soap fac
tory, drove him to seek better means OF
making a living than the street afford
ed.
Although he was to try the soap in
dustry again, he could not remain con-
tent in it. Becoming a salesman in
small way, he Immediately recognized
his proper sphere and began his spectac
ular climb to the heights.
Wrigley amassed great fortune. But
he did it himself, through his own efforts
and his confidence in his own ideas.
There was no inherited wealth for him,
nor did he get his fortune by sharp prac-
tices upon others.
He gave the people what they wanted.
Chewing gum may be one of the eXtrav-
agances of life, but Wrigley created the
impression that it was a necessity and he
succeeded in passing this impression on
to millions of others.
There had been chewing gum long be-
fore Wrigley went into the industry, but
it took his genius for salesmanship to
make it almost indispensable to millions.
His career is an outstanding example
of the opportunities offered in the Unit
ed States, and despite the wall of the
calamity howlers, such opportunities

!. Y. HARDWARE
ANNOUNCES BIG
Is DAYS SALE

For nearly a quarter of a GEN.
tury. which in the history of the
valley is a considerable period of
time. Imperial Valley Hardware
company has been going and grow
ing. As produce shipments from
the valley increased from a few
hundred car loads to tens of thou
sands per annum, this big, valley
wide organization has increased the
number of its stores, multiplied the
lines of merchandise offered and
built the value of its stocks from
few thousands to hundreds of
thousands of dollars. In short, this
institution has not only grown with
the valley but consistently has
maintained its position among the
pace-setters of this little empire.
Now. according to executives OF
the firm, its management not only
takes IAN optimistic view of coming
business conditions, but is embark
ing on a valley-Wide merchandising
program which will emphasize the
investment possibilities, for the
head of every family, which today's
low prices have enabled merchants
to provide for their trade.
The price decline, which start
ed in 1929, one of the l. V depart
ment heads remarked, demonstrate
ed the fact that prices, which had
been mounting for several years
cannot indefinitely proceed in one
direction. The swing of the price
pendulum, as always before under
similar conditions, has carried
many prizes too far down the scale
with the result that some lines OF
merchandise are available today
at less than production costs. Ma
turally, manufacturers will not con-
tinue to produce at a loss. We
believe the future price trend will
be upward, so we are urging our
customers to take advantage OF
current savings and supply both
present and future needs"
Elsewhere in this issue is a full
page announcement by Imperia
Valley Hardware company of a val
ley-wide sale, which is to open to-
morrow and continue, with new
features daily, for Is days.

new TRIALS TO
BE SOUGHT IN
DAMAGE SUITS

Two automobile accident suits
continued to wave rebellious heads
in superior court today. after they
had been settled by juries, and
damages awarded.
In both suits attorneys yesterday
afternoon filed notice of intention
to move for a new trial.
One suit is that in With Soichi
Fuiianani o obtai med judgment
against Earl Y. c. Northrup Mrs.
Agnes Northrup and Earlene North
rup for S1250. because of injuries
suffered by the Japanese May l3
when a car driven by Earlene
Northrup collided with his at Mas
on's Corner south of Ell Centre.
The other suit was brought by
Miguel Alcaraz and Anastasio Gut
ierrez against Harold Edmondson
for damages suffered by reason of
injuries received in an accident last
June l on the Los Angeles highway
two miles west of Westmorland. A
jury awarded Alcaraz Sl400 dam
ages, and Gutierrez $500.
Each notice of intention TO move
for a new trial gives as the grounds
for the move errors in law during
the trials, newly discovered eyi-
dence favoring the defendants, sur
prise and accident during the
trials, irregularities in the proceed
ure, excessive damages and insult
fiency of the evidence TO warrant
the verdictS.
Edmondson's move for a new trial
also charges misconduct on the part
Of the jury which heard the case.

Cagney Stars In
New Production

Taxi, starring James Cagney
with Loretta Young in support, is
the attraction for tonight only at
Fox Imperial theatre.
The red-headed Cagney, who has
leaped to the front ranks of the
younger film players in a compar-
atively brief time, has an excellent
role in this production, that of a
hard boiled taXi-driver who seeks
romance and adventure, getting
both.
New York is the locale of the
play and anyone who knows of the
metropolis knows that its taXi-driv-
ers are a hard lot, who are in on
all of the excitement that Gotham
can produce.
There are no dull moments in
Taxi, but there is plenty of eX-
element, comedy and a bit of pa
thos now and then.

M'COy Hearing
Is Postponed

In order that investigators from
the district attorneys office may
obtain further evidence, prelim-
mary hearing of evidence against
A. L. Hendrix. charged with the
murder of w H. Mccoy near Holt
vile January 10, was continued yes
terday afternoon until February II.
Since the case cannot, under any
circumstances, go to trial on the
February criminal calendar in su-
perior court, it will be set over
when Hendrix is arraigned there
until March.
Hendrix is charged with beating
Mccoy to death in an argument
over cattle, which were the object
of law suit between the two. A
coroners jury, which held Hendrix
responsible for the death of Nc
Coy, failed to state in what manner
the latter came to his death, wheth-
er by a beating by Hendrix fists
or with some other weapon.
