A THOUGHT

Sing not my praises to the sun
 In all sincerity or simple fun, Or thank the gods for blessing you. With pattern owned by few. Blow not my trumpet to the crowd, And glory in it being loud, And do not hold me to the light, To boast that am always right. For some dark day. you
 May mumbling mutter, how untrue.

fall as the fine pay of Ouimet and

After describing some wheather
he ran into in the United States
which was SO hot it could almost
be "cut into slabs with blunt knife"
Wignall winds up with the state
ment that ''the humidity of the
United States can do more to lick
man than par golf"
That last is a pretty strong state
ment. And if it wasn't so hot we'd
challenge it. Well challenge it
anyhow. Par golf is lot tougher
to lick than the weather. And
when you get sub-par golf shot
at you, it doesn't matter much
whether it's hot or cold, dry or
wet, humid or What-ever-it-is-
When-i -it-isn't- t-humid

CHICAGO, Sept. 10 = The New
York Yankees have Lou Gehrig,
one of the greatest sluggers in all
baseball history, in their infield,
and the Chicago Cubs haven't a
hitter on their entire team to COM
pare with him.
There's an edge that's hard to
overcome, but comparing the in
fields of the two prospective world
series rivals as units. either often
sively or defensively, the Cubs
quartet does not concede anything
to the Yankees combination.
Averages show the Cubs are bet
ter both at bat and in the field,
and many keen baseball observers
think the Chicago quartet will prove
it in the forthcoming world series.
But with slugger like Gehrig
around. one mighty blow from his
bludgeon can nullify lot OF fancy
fielding plays.
The Yankees infield is older, and
more experienced, yet Frank Cros-
etti, New York shortstop, will be
the youngest regular on either
team. Three members of each in
field have had world series ex-
perience. OF the Yankees, Gehrlg
and Lazzeri have played in three
each. Joe Sewell has played in one.
Of the Cubs, Mark Koenig, teamed
with Gehrig and Lazzeri in three
when he was with the Yankees,
and Charlie Grimm and Woody
English played in the 1929 series
against the Athletics.
Gehrig has the outstanding world
series batting average, hitting .348
in 1926, 1888 in 1927 and .545 III
1928 for a grand average Of 1888.
Grimm batted .389 in his one series.
Lazzeri averaged .226 in his three,
and Koenig 232, but the latter
was the batting star of the 1927
series with an average Of 500.
English batted 100 against the Ath-
letics. while Sewell batted .3l9 for
the Cleveland Indians against

PREBLE URGES
new METHOD IN
AUTO TAXATION

That automobile owners be re-
quired to show tax receipts before
obtaining licenses was the sugges-
ton placed before the board of su-
pervisors this morning by A. Y.
Preble
Although the supervisors seemed
unanimously in favor of mailing
some such recommendation to the
state legislature, and of asking the
cooperation of the Automobile Club
of Southern California in obtain
ing legislation to that effect, no
action was taken this morning.
1t was Preble's suggestion tnat IL
censes be issued by the county tax
assessor, and only when automo-
biles taxes had been paid. Other
members of the board, however, felt
that the showing of tax receipts
should be sufficient to obtain IL
cense, as recommended by the state
convention of county assessors.
Business transacted by the super
visors this morning was mostly of
a routine nature, including the ap-
rointment of John Scarborough to
fill out the unexpired term of Fred
Thompson as constable of the Nj
land township. Thompsons resig-
nation was accepted.
The supervisors also accepted 346
names representing members of
election boards to serve in Imperial
county at the general election No
vember 8. In El Centro 70 persons
were chosen to serve on election
boards at II precincts.
