- ~~@SeS
I have seen Joe McCarthy's
club in action. That's why
they're my choice. On account
of being in the American League,
I do not know anything about
the Cubs and what I don't know
never botherS me. This gives
the advantage to the Yanks.
Other years, in sizing up the
contenders, have used ouija
boards, statistics and opium. In
1927 even used Scotch whisky
and came out right. But this
year I have decided to do my
doping without any accessories,
However, if anybody has a good
case of beer to offer, I will listen
to reason and sit down with him
and explain my choice.
Dumber Experts
A lot of the dumber experts
give the Yankees the advantage
because the series opens in New
York. That's where they're all
wet and I'll explain that, too.
Just before the first game starts
at the Yankee Stadium, the Yanks
will look toward a first-base field
box to see the first ball thrown
out. And when they see some guy
besides Jimmy Walker make the
toss, they will think they are out
of town and it will be the same as
playing the opener in Chicago.
On the other hand, when the
Yankees do get to Chicago, they
will find out AL Capone and his
boys are in Atlanta on protracted
business and Ruppert's club will
go out and not be afraid of win
ming a ball game and getting
bombed.
This sort Of equalizes the psy-
chology and splits it up $3.50. I
expect to see the Ianks take
both sos.
My other reasons for picking
New York is that they won't have
the advantage of Hack Wilson
playing center field for the Cubs.
The last time Hack played in the
fall classic he would have caught
more flies if he'd been out in cen
ter field with smoked glasses and
a tin cup in his hand. There's
only been one time this season
when Hack has been sure Of him
self in the field, and that was
the day of the eclipse, when they
aol1nI In1 off
Cubs Hopes Dashed
Babe Ruth will be in the game
to strengthen the Bronx outfit,
also. One time, about 10 days
ago, when the Babe was taken
sick, the Cubs hoped his stomach
ache would only turn out to be
acute appendicitis and he would
be all right again-anout the mid
die of November. But Babe has
responded to treatment, and he
will be in the lineup blasting
them out, if they can only blind
fold him before game time and
get him past the hot dog stands.
The Cubs have a strong pitch
ing staff, but I predict they will
go to pieces. When a Chi pitcher
gets on the Yankee Stadium
mound and sees the capacity
crowd, he will start multiplying
$4,000 by $3.50, $3.50 and smaller
sums, and by the time he gets
his own share figured out, he'll
be on his way to the shower
baths.
Those are my big reasons for
favoring the Yanks. In tomor
rows heaping installment, I will
pick the Cubs platform to pieces.
The Washington times., 1932-09-24

The slugging average for the
two outfields in which total bases
are figured rather than the num-
ber of hits the New York average
is .513 and the Chicago figure is
.443. Each outfield group is cred
tied with 90 two-baggers. but the
Yankees lead in the longer hits
with 81 triples against II and IS
home runs.
These figures are offered as evil
dence that the Yankee outfield
carries an advantage over the
Cubs in the hitting side Of the
game. Granting that the two
groups are equal in a defensive
way the hitting seems to give us
the edge.
Babe Ruth's fourth article on
the World Series will appear Mon
day.

Navy Film At
Fox Imperial

Naval aviation from the enlisted
mans viewpoint, is the object of
the picture, Hell Divers" which
opened last night at Fox Imperial
theatre, and which will be shown
tonight and tomorrow night.
Previous pictures have dealt with
army, navy and marine affairs
chiefly from the officers version,
but in Hell Divers" the chief
characters are chief petty officers.
Wallace Beery is seen as an avia-
ton chief machinists mate aboard
the Saratoga, while Clark Gable,
as an exponent of the newer navy
school, has a similar rating.
Beery, as usual, is hard-boiled,
rough and touch and has constant
clashes in work, love and play with
the younger man. Their battles
are epics and the constant "hazing'
provides opportunity for much
comedy.
The old veteran eventually
proves that his heart is in the right
place for he gives his life in saving
that of the younger man, not thai
he likes him any better but be-
cause it is the thing for the navy
to do.
Others in the cast are Conrad
Nagel, Marjorie Rambeau, Dorothy
Jordan, Cliff Edwards, John Mil
jan, Marie Provost and Alan
Roscoe.

A trying problem faced customers
at the third Olympic winter games
today-Should they trek out to
Mount Haevenberg and watch the
two-man bobsled teams tear down
the ice runway in a three-cornered
race with death and a stopwatch,
or should they stop at the stadium
and watch the finalists in the
10000-meter race and mems figure
skating?
Most of them decided to take a
chance on the babbers, heavy
travel on most of the roads there
indicated. Competition among the
bobbers is keen, and keen compe-
tition brings on recklessness, and
reckleSSneSS, in many instances
brings on the doctors and the

Sixteen teams, representing eight
nations, were scheduled to tee off

of the MeXicans.
The burglary with which Encar-
nacion and Jesus Torrez, jr., prob
ably will be charged is that of the
Wayne Preece ranch house four
miles southwest of Seeley last
Thursday afternoon. Clothing
taken from the Preece home was
among the articles found in the
camp. Both of these Mexicans ad-
mitted first to Gillett and then to
Sharp they burglarized the Preece
residence.
An expensive electric dynamo
was found in the camp, and the
MeXicans admitted stealing it more
than a year ago from a warehouse
in Seeley, officers said.
The Frigidaire they admitted
stealing from a japanese in Ell
Centro over year ago. Officers
today were engaged in trying to
locate the Japanese.
The Mexican camp is located
across ditch from a lonely coun.
try road. Three separate roads
lead into it, and each was well
used. Two dogs, who kept up a
fierce barking during all the time
the officers were there, were
chained to stakes, one on either
side of the camp.
Campbell and Castanien located
the camp during routine search
of all Mexican camps in the dis
trict, and while searching fol
stolen articles. Jesus, ST., Migue
and Encarnacion were arrested al
that time, but the deputies were
forced to return Saturday nigh
and lie in wait for Jesus, jr., be.
| lieved one of the most active o.
the group.
Activities of the Mexicans have
extended over period of many
months, officers believe. Many oil
the articles found in the camp
while fitting the description oi
goods stolen from various places
the past year, could not be posi-
lively identified.
From one of the prisoners the
deputies took a complete set of
skeleton keys, designed to fit resi-
dence doors or padlocks.

You'll find Seppela," the man in
the dirty mackinaw told me, upon
the top of the hill back there
feeding his dogs"
Guided by the yelps of the
hungry pack ploughed up the hill
through snow and darkness to a
ramshackle barn where the old
Alaskan musher and his team of
sled dog huskies were stabbed.
swung open the door and there,
knee deep in straw, stood Leonard
Seppela, hero of the dash to Namc,
dishing out hamburger and bones
to his l5 Siberian huskies. He was
too busy and the dogs too hungry,
to notice my arrival.
AS he fed the dogs Seppela talked
to them, praising some, fussing at
others for their work during the
25-mile workout over the mountain
racing trail a few hours before.
He was bawling out a big, shaggy
gray fellow as I walked in.
Listen you, Sepp, the next time
you fold up before a race is half
over and have to be carried home
in the sled, I'm going to wrap your
shaggy carcass around the nearest
spruce tree and leave you hanging
there" Sepp went on gnawing his
bone.
Seppela left Sepp with a pat on
the head and moved on down the
line, speaking to Sniqruk, Kingiak,
Tserka, Kreevankak and Bonzo, in
turn.
1t didn't take long for me to find
which dog was closest to Seppela's S
heart. When the frost-bitten, bow
legged little old musher got around
to Bonzo he dropped to his knees.
took the husky's big head in his
arms, and turned to me:
Son, here's a real dog. A real
DOG. Gentle as a baby, smarter
than most men and tough and hard
as load of rocks. Been offered
thousand for him, but 10 times
that much wouldn't make me part
with him. And Lord knows need
the money.
I'm telling you that I could put
this dog at the head of a bunch
OF cream-lapping poodles, and he'd
make 'em haul you over the tough
est stretch, or make 'em plenty
sorry they didn't. When 1 hit the
trail with Bonzo out in front I
know I'm going to get there, even
II you throw a blizzard and an
avalanche in our faces. He's the
best lead dog in Alaska, and that's
saying plenty
told him how more than a few
people considered that 1925 diph-
liberia dash to Nome nothing moro
than a publicity stunt.
Publicity stunt, eh? Well. il
would take a pretty crazy sort of
guy to hit out over a 200-mile trail
with the thermometer down to &c
Or so below, and it showing SO hard
you couldn't see the lead dog, all
for a little publicity.
Let me tell you something. NV
daughter was the first person in

PETTY THEFT GANG BROKEN
UP BY VISIT OF OFFICERS

What is generally believed among
law enforcement officers to be one
of the most active burglary and
petty theft groups in Imperial
Valley was broken up Saturday aft
ernoon and night with the arrest
by deputy sheriffs of four members
of Mexican family living approx
imately a mile south and a mile
east of Seal Heights.
Don Campbell and LLOYD Cas-.
tanien, deputies, arrested the Mex
leans when they discovered a re-
mote camp stocked with miscel-
laneouS articles which included
electric motors, an ice box, a frigi-
daire, a victrola, motion picture
protector, automobile parts, expen-
sive clothing and numerous other
articles.
The Mexicans placed under ar
rest were Encarnacion Torrez. 26.
Jesus Torrez, jr., 10; Miguel Torrez,
80, and Jesus Torrez, sr., 70. Burg
larry charges were to be filed today
against at least two of the Mexi-
cans, and possibly against three.
The elder Torrez and his wife, who
was not arrested, probably will be
turned over to immigration author
tiles, or prosecuted on a charge of
possession of marijuana.
A quantity OF this drug, rolled
into cigarettes, was found at the
Mexican camp.
Shortly after their arrest con-
fession was obtained by Harold
Gillett, sheriff's investigator, and
yesterday morning Tom Sharp, in
veStigator for the district attorney,
