CHAMBER GETS
MANY INQUIRIES
ABOUT VALLEY

Inquiries coming daily 70 the FL
Centro Chamber of Commerce
indicate that the period of recon-
struction is at hand in many parts
Of the country and that the man
ner in which Imperial Valley has
weathered the so called "depres-
sion" has impressed residents of
other sections. These inquiries, ac-
cording to Robert Hays, manager
of the local chamber, are not con-
cerning work nor merely tourist let
ters but are from persons who are
interested in making Imperial VAL
ley their home, in buying city prop
erty or farm land, and in establish
ing themselves permanently here.
"We have never had so many
worth while letters in the spring OF
the year before, Hays states. per
haps more inquiry letters are re-
ceived in October and February
than any other months. but these
are in great part from persons
who wish to get work during the
vegetable shipping seasons. The
number of incoming letters re-
ceived at the chamber during the
past three weeks has been amazing
and those inquiring about working
conditions could be counted on the
fingers of both hands. Daily We
receive letters from persons who de
sire to know more concerning farm
ing in this community; they are not
interested in renting or leasing but
want to purchase small farms and
require detailed information before
making a definite decision to come
here. These are people who are in
terested in making nominal living
rather than untold wealth, people
who ask about schools, recreation
and general living conditions, and
we answer these letters carefully
because they are from the type of
persons who, if they cast their lot
with the people of Imperial Valley,
will be of benefit to the commun-
ity".
Tourist letters asking about
points of interest in Imperial VAL
ley, itineraries and hotel and auto
court accommodations are increas-
! ing in number, also, according to
Hays. who believes that more tour
| lists will pass through Ell Centro
this summer than in any one past
summer season. These letters, too,
he points out, are well written and
literate, indicating a western move
ment of tourists who are planning
real California vacation and de-
cline in the number of transients
who merely keep moving with no
definite destination and nothing to
offer the communities in which they
stop.

Hamas Defeats
Loughran Again

PHILADELPHIA, May II. UP
Tommy Loughran, veteran Phila-
delphia heavyweight, staged a
come back" despite his second de-
feat by young Steve Hamas, for
mer Penn State grid star.
The former light heavyweight
champion lasted 10 rounds last
night against Hamas, who knocked
him out three months ago in New
York, and most of the $4,000 fans
in convention hall thought Tommy
should have been given the de-
ciSion.
The crowd voiced its disapproval
of the verdict by prolonged booing
and kissing. Newspapermen at the
ringside were divided in their
opinions.

SENATORS AND
CUBS PICKED TO
WIN REMNANTS

NEW YORK, May II. U.Pa-Un-
expected trends in the major
league pennant races have caused
Jack Doyle, Broadway betting COM
missioner to issue a new set of
betting quotations. making the Chi
cago Cubs and Washington Sena-
tors favorites to cop the flags in
the National and American leagues,
respectively. His first place quota
tions follow:
National League-Chicago, 3 to 2:
New York, to 5; st. Louis, 2 to 1;
field, 10 to /.
American League - Washington,
7 to 5; New York, to 5; Phila-
delphia, to /; field, 10 to l.
In his preseason quotations,
upon which he expects to lose con-
siderable money, he had picked the
st. Louis Cardinals and Philadel-
phia Athletics to repeat for the
pennantS.
Mr.. Doyle did not sleep so well
last night, because the Cincinnati
Reds had advanced to third place
by downing the Philadelphia Phil
lies yesterday, 4 to l, dropping the
Phillies to fourth place. Red Lucas
allowed the Philadelphia club only
five scattered hits.
Lefty Hallahan demonstrated
why he is called wild Bill in the
final twelfth inning of the
Brooklyn-St. Louis Cardinals game.
He tied the major league record of
three wild pitches in one inning,
and gave the game to the Dodgers,
6 to 8. Jim Collins hit a home run
in the fourth.
Boston at Pittsburgh and New
York at Chicago were washed out.
In the American league, Johnny
Allen, rookie pitcher, yielded only
five hits to the st. Louis Browns,
enabling the New York Yankees
to score 3 to shutout. Allen
helped win his own game in the
fifth when his triple, coupled with
an error by Melillo, gave the Yanks
their first run.
Other games were postponed by
cold and rain.
Yesterdays Hero-Johnny Allen,
rookie hurler of the New York
Yankees who pitched his first COM
rlete major league game and
blanked the ST. Louis Browns. He
also tripled to drive in the Yank' S
first run.

 This is his reply to the case brot against him by Samuel Seabury, counsel for the republican con- trolled state legislative committee appointed to investigate into the sensational allegations of corrup- r5on of New York's city mayor.
 The goyeNnor's action will be of national significance because of the fact that the case has been injected into the national political campaign,
 Roosevelt will probably take wla tever action is planned in the near future.
