SKUNK PROVES
HIS MIGHT ON
BALL DIAMOND

Like a roaring mob of college
students parading across the field
between halves of football game,
one John Doe Skunk last night
split a baseball game in half to
parade across Wilson Field just as
effectively as could several thou
sand students, after which the Ell
Centro All-Stars resumed the con-
test to defeat the Brawley All-Stars
IA to 13.
j. D. Skunk chose the third inn
ing for his impromptu celebration
of nothing at all, clearing the field
in nothing flat and causing vir-
tual riot among the spectators,
who lined all sides of the park.
A mob of youngsters gave fear
less chase with an ash can as their
only weapon. Luckily the skunk
remained polite throughout the
proceedings. Safely slowed under
the ash can, the skunk finally was
removed from the field, amid
cheers, and the contest went on.
A more hectic game has seldom
been seen at Wilson Field. Braw-
lev led 3 to l at the end OF the
second inning. AS the invaders
entered the fifth inning they were
behind 10 to 4. The sixth inning
found the score tied at 10-all. Ell
Centre went ahead IL to 10 in the
last half of the sixth, but relin-
ouished the lead when Brawley put
over three more tallies in the sew
enth.
When Ell Centro came to bat in
the last of ninth, with Brawley
leading 13 to IL, it seemed that
the north enders we're about to win
for the fourth straight time. A
walk to Wakefield and successive
hits by Hamilton, Baker and Dan
iels scored the three runs necessary
to win.
Ehmke and Hammerslaugh Tor FL
Centro and Post for Brawley were
batting stars.
Wilson Field will be dark tonight,
the Imerial Valley All-Stars and
the girls team playing ut Yuma.
Brawley will visit Ell Centro several
times next week.

COAST GRIDIRON
TEAMS TO OPEN
PLAY TOMORROW

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.
QIP) - Skirmishes preliminary to
major offensives of the football
season engage three conference
elevens on the Pacific coast to-
morrow.
Navy" Bill Ingram will introduce
his latest University of California
product in double-header pro-
gram at the Memorial stadium. The
California Aggies provide the open
ing opposition and an all-navy
team faces the Golden Bears in the
second contest.
Stanford will be subjected to its
initial test against the Olympic
club eleven, while in the northwest,
Oregon State makes its debut at
Spokane, drawing a rugged foe
in Gonzaga university.
The remaining coast teams re-
main idle for another week.
Only 80 players will be used
against the combined Aggie and
navy forces, Coach Ingram has an
nounced, as he does not care to
waste a years eligibility of prom
Using but inexperienced prospects.
The Golden Bears are favorites in
both contests.
Last weeks defeat by the west
coast army indicates that the Olym-
pic gridsters may not be the same
powerful opposition against the
Cards as in other years. Coach
Glenn Warner was busy today,
however, seeking tackle substi-
tute to replace Palamountain, who
wrenched his shoulder in scrim-
mage this week.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs, short in
man power but always equipped
with few stars, may possibly pro-
vide the seasons first upset against
the Beavers. Previous contests be-
tween the institutions invariably
have been close and bitterly con-
tested.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
In TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Following
our usual custom of seeking culture
from abroad on alternate Thurs
days, we were reading through
London Gazette yesterday when our
eye happened on an item from
Stokes Poges (maybe it was from
Upper footing or Swaffham) that
arrested our attention.
The dispatch from Stokes Poges
told how an enterprising boxing
promoter had increased attendance
at his weekly shows by engaging an
orchestra to play between rounds.
And they say the British are back
wardl Why that Stokes Poges en-
treppeneur has sounded new note
that will revolutionize box fighting.
He has taken the first step
toward wiring boxing for sound,
SO to speak. We predict that in
few years boxing will have sound
effects exactly like motion pictures.
Hard by the ringside will be an
orchestra interpreting each blow
upon its instruments, calling the
fighters shots with trumpet, sax
aphone and tuba. Customers in
the 81 seat, though unable to see
the fighters, will be able to follow
the progress of the fighters by lis
tening to the orchestra.
The champion enters the ring
and the orchestra Immediately
strikes up "Clap Hands, Here Comes
Sharkey," and then glides into
Just Before the Battle, Mother" /"
When the men fall into the clinch
the leader, quick on his cues, could
send his men into something ap-
propriate like 1.-TWO Hearts that
Beat in Three-Quarter Time" and
1.-THE Night Was Meant for Love" "
Continued stalling around would
bring on the blue Danube" and
Merry Widow" waltzes.
Music Always Ready
Supposing the champion was off
his timing and unable to land his
Sunday punches. Those in the
cheaper seats would be informed of
the situation with a clear rendi-
tion of "Oh, How I Miss You To-
night" And when the champion
did get his devastating hook to
working the orchestra, with the
champions opponent singing the
refrain, would swing into when
You Left Me-"
No matter what happened in
there in the ring, our orchestra
would be ready. In case of foul
the minute the stricken one hit
the floor the musicians would move
into "Moanin' Low"then face into
"Was That the Human Thing To
Do?" the muted trumpets express
ing the fallen gladiator's suffering
much more poignantly than ever
did Joe Humphreys silver-toned
bellowings.
Should a fighter have both o1
his eyes closed, his handicap would
be announced with Dancing In
The Dark" And a knockout would
be heralded by the playing of "One-
two -three-four, Sometimes I wish
There Were More" in keeping with
the timekeeper's count.
On those rare occasion when q
"fixed" fight was spoiled by one OF
the young men forgetting his in
structions and dropping his oppon-
ent into the petunias, that old Ber-
lin favorite You Forgot To Re-
member" would be busted off and
given whirl.
Only 80 more shopping days be-
fore Christmas.
