HAYS REPORTS
ON ROAD TRIP
TO EAST AREA

Much highway work Of import
ance in Arizona was reported today
by Robert Hays, manager of the Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce, who
returned this morning from three
day trip over the highways of the
neighboring state. Hays made the
trip in company of the San Diego
planning commission, other county
officials from San Diego and George
kellogg, secretary Of the Imperial
Highway association.
Hays reports that the Blythe
Wickenburg- Phoenix route has been
completely graded and is ready for
its oil surface and oil is already be-
ing applied at two points on the
road. This road, from a construc-
ton point of view, according to
Hays, will be one of the finest in
the west, with straight alignment
and wide, high roadbed and it is in
tended to be a high speed arterial
road.
The party, after stopping over
night and having dinner with Of
ficials of the Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce OH their first day out OF
San Diego, journeyed through Phoe-
nix to Lordsburg, New Mexico,
spending much time in the latter
city ascertaining the highway sit
uation there. They report that the
people of Lordsburg have aligned
themselves with Phoenix and are
recommending all travel to take the
Globe Phoenix road. thus cutting
out entirely any travel over the
Tucson -Yuma-El Centro and San
Diego road, except that traffic
which is allowed to filter through
at Phoenix and return to the south
ern road. This situation, Hays
states, means that it is imperative
that groups in Southern California
and southern Arizona unite to in
crease travel over the Tucson-Casa
Grande- Yuma and Ell Centre route
for, the Ell Centro chamber man
ager stated. upon the final compile
ton of the Blythe-PhoeniX road,
there will be no traffic whatever
over the southern route unless con-
certed action is taken by those COM
munities which lie on the southern
route to retain such traffic.
The party, which stopped at the
Ell Centro chamber this morning
was headed by Fred j. Hansen
president of the San Diego county
planning commission and included
engineers and the legal advisor of
that body Stops were made dur
ing the trip at Blythe. Phoenix

In the recent tax check up in the

tween the taxes spent at Central

ley. The FL Centro high school
district spent only 80 per cent OF
the money expended in the county

last year. Since taxes are a major

In the constitution oratorical con-
test at Central, Friday morning, two
people tied both for first place and
for second place. Melvin Wilby
and Carl Sato took honors for first
place, and Margaret Hill and Irene
Powelson we're tied for second place.
These students will compete for
honors III the country contest soon.
Alex Novak acted as chairman in
the contest in which a number of
high school students took part.
A heated political campaign has
been started at Central as a pre-
liminary to the school elections for
student body officers which will, be
held before long. Petitions have
been submitted nominating Ebert
Berry and Munson Dowd for the
presidency, John Couch and George
Mann, for the place of vice-presi
dent; Velda Percival, Blanche GoSs
and Alta Waterman, for secretary;
and Margaret Page, Florence Hess

Infield and 0utfield

Washington's infield and out
field shape up wen enough, al
though the former has never
regained the pepper it had so
long as Joe Judge was holding
down first base. Young Joe
. Kuhel, the $65, 900 Kansas City
graduate, will play first base if
Walter johnson and Clark
Griffith have anything to say
about it.
There was no disposition on
the part of either Of them last
season to let Judge return to
his old place when he recov-
cred from a spring attack Of
appendicitis.
Judge is still with the club,
but only because he couldn't
be traded advantageously over
the winter.
Buddy Myer will play second,
Joe Cronin short and OsSie
Bluege third; thus completing
as good a looking infield as
many teams would wish to see.
I-uhel is far from being a bad
fielder, but is a light hitter. At
that his fielding lacks the grace
and naturalneSS that Judges
did and he doesn't lend the
team the confidence and driv-
ing power that judge exuded.

Pitching Is Inadequate

Heinie Manush is expected to
have a good year in 1882, his
1881 effcrt being off some 80 or
40 percentage points at the
bat. Sammy West is all any
body could hope for in the CEN
ter spot and Carl Reynolds at
-3 can't by any means be
washed up.
So the infield and outfield
are well enough balanced, but
the pitching appears inadequate
at this writing.

Moe Berg, formerly of the Cleve-
land Indians, Roy Spencer, like
his predecessor, Muddy Ruel, will

though they might not stick with
the Griffmen this year. Thus
their earnest efforts here in the
daily practice sessions which
have found them willing to dc
anything to attract attention.
Delaney is by far the larger OF
the two, despite the fact that he
is not as tall as Boyle. Still the
scales tell the story that they
weigh exactly the same-175
pounds.
Both Love Game
But all this is beside the story
Delaney and Boyle want to get
somewhere in baseball because
they love to play it, also they
love to pitch it. Both display a
noticeable talent for the game
but lack the polish needed to be
real big leaguers.
Still, with such able coaches
here, headed by Owner Griff and
Manager Walter johnson, both
may be taught the tricks of the
trade" which may result in the
landing Of jobs. But that is to be
seen and not told.
Delaney received a trial with
the Boston Braves last spring,
but was cut adrift after the
training season. Living in Chi
cago, the youngster" managed to
see Manager johnson one day
while the Griffs were in the

ing him a tryout during batting

to advise owner Griffith about
giving the youngster a chance
