A triple collision on the Meriden
 road early last evening in which a five-ton truck ploughed through
 the front of A. s. Nodine's florist
 shop, paved the way for the ap-
 pearance in court this morning of
 Joseph Kozak, 25, of 95 Bull ave-
 nue, Wallingford, on the charge of
 reckless driving. Only part of the
 evidence in the case was recorded today, a continuance until Saturday
 being requested by counsel for the accused. In addition to the exten- sive damage to the store a car driven by James Quinn, a former captain in the local fire depart ment, was wrecked. A car operated by Fred w. Harper of Cheshire es- capped the mixup.
 The only explanation given in- formally to the police by Kozak is l that he attempted to pass Quinn's I car and his machine swerved to | one side, the rear end crashing against Quinn's machine. As the brakes of his car failed to hold the I truck continued on its way into the florist shop. An assortment of plants and flowers were ruined be-
 meath the weight of the cumber- 1 some visitor. Traffic Officer Bern ard Burns was sent to the scene of the crash and excitement to check up on the casualties.
 Quinn, who resides at SS Ives
 street was driving towrad East Main street. Kozak in trying to
 pass swung to his right instead
 of his left and a collision resulted. Quinn's machine was rammed with
 considerable force against a tele- graph pole. The next crash came
 when the truck entered the florist
 shop. Half of the neighborhood
 was on the scene within few min-
 utes. No one was injured in the
 excitement.
 The other case on the docket of
 court this morning was that of

Important Session at The

Next Mondays meeting of the Civitan club will be an important one and all members are requested to put in their appearance at the Hotel Elton at noon at which time it will be definitely decided whe- ther to continue or disband the club for several months.
 Poor attendance at the last few meetings have caused the govern ing board to take action. It is probable that schedule will be adopted to meet once or twice a month, instead of weekly. The club personnel totals about 12 and many a meeting found but half that number present.

this morning, the Democrat and board of education office were be- sieged with phone calls from anx- ious parents endeavoring to make certain of the dismissal.
 The rain commenced in the early hours of the morning and contin- ued that way the greater part of the morning. Walking proved detri- mental to pedestrians who were recipients of many splashes from automobiles.
 The wind last night added to the difficulty in getting around 50 much so that 1t required strength as well as courage to push through it and keep on one's feet. The storm made up quite lively time at the going out of winter an the com- ing in of spring.

Bic LEAGUERS
START SEASON
BY JACK CUDDY.
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW vCPK. April -. = With
an enthusiasm similar to that
which greeted beer, the nations
fans were ready today to welcome
baseball back More than 100000
of the more fortunate were expect
ed to attend opening contests on
eight major league fronts.
Appetites of baseball-thirsty fans
we're whetted by prospects of closer
pennant races in the two circuits,
resulting from a hodge-podge OF
changes during the off-season, and
they were anxious to test the KICK
that the games braumeiSters nave
given the 1888 concoction.
The races seemed almost certain
to be enlivened by wholesale shifts
of players, injection of new man
ayers. possible effects of salary re-
ductions, and one change OF own
ership.
AS owners and fans prepared to
give the game its traditional send
off with bands, flag-raisings and
first-ball tossings, everyone was en-
thusiastic except the weather man.
That dour individual predicted pos
sible showers for four major league
cities.
President Roosevelt's arm was
reported In excellent shape to throw
out the first ball at Washington to
start off two pretenders to the
American League throne: the Wash
ington Senators and Philadelphia
Athletics. There was a possibility
of rain.
Vice-President Garner was to
lead a parade of players. Joe
Cronin. youngest manager in the
majors. expected to start Alvin
Crowdcr and Luke Sewel against
Lefty Grove and Mickey Cochrane
of the Athletics. About 10000 fans
were expected to attend.

NEXT MONDAY
To START OFF
BIC TOURNEY

Boxing fans from far and near
making up the largest crowd to
ever witness a ring show in Imper-
ial Valley-will throng into town to
see powerful heayyweights knock
each other bow-legged in battles
of giants" in the grand opening of
the great A. A. U. Southwestern
championship amateur boxing tour
nament on the Imperial Valley
arena battle front here next Mon
day night. The mighty ring classic
continues for three nights.
Although there will be furious
fighting in all. other weight classes,
too. huge man.mountains will climb
into the ring and send each other
crashing to the canvas in what are
expected to be the widest and
most sensational ring conflicts ever
seen in this part of the country.
The bitter tourney fights will be for
three rounds each with the El Gen.
tro fistic prides blasting away at the
out -of-town foemen.
Accompanied by hundreds of Wis
iting fight followers, the rugged in
vading ringsters, now training in
their respective home towns, will
swoop into town bent upon batter
ing their way to victory over the
Ell Centro favorites.
Bill Clements, president of the
Imperial Valley Athletic club, and
Pete Buzukus. matchmaker. are
rushing plans to care for the over
flow crowd Monday night. In case
the weather is too warm the top of
the arena is to be removed and in
event the nights are cool the top
will remain over the arena. The
box office and doors are to open
Monday night at p. m. The first
fight is to start promptly at 8:l5
and the last struggle will end not
later than 1890.
The El Centro warriors go
through another big free workout
at the Imperial Valley arena to-
night.
Clements drug store is expected
to be a virtual beehive when the
seat sale opens with bang there
tomorrow morning. Most popular
prices will prevail for the big fights
despite the bigness of the event.
From Is to 20 wild and gruelling
three-round fights will make up the
card Monday night. The fights will
be offered in rapid-fire order Be-
fore two ringmen leave the ring, an
other pair will be seen climbing in
with gloves on and rarin' to get
going where the others left off.
Amateurs fight from gong to gong
or until one or the other is knocked
out. They know not the meaning
of the words "stall' or "back-up".

PONTIAC SETS
HIGH MARX IN
MILEAGE TEST

With reports still incomplete in
Pontiac's nationwide economy test,
the best record received to date is
held by a Detroiter, Ralph Yeck-
ley. 1860 Seward avenue. Driving
Pontiac straight eight two door
sedan, Yeckley obtained 50 miles
on a quart of gasoline which is
equivalent to 20.S miles per gallon,
according to word received here BY
John R. Robertson, valley Pontiac
distributor.
Approximately $4,000 persons in
various parts of the United States
have tried their skill as economy
drivers with the new Pontiac eight.
Each test car is equipped with q
one-quart auxiliary 'tank" a glass
lar which feeds exactly one quart
of fuel through a rubber tube to the
carburetor.
According to data gathered at
Pontiac headquarters here, major
ity of the drivers are obtaining
from 16.5 to Is miles per gallon.
A few have obtained mileages as
low as IA and Is, while several have
approached to within a fraction OF
Yeckley's record.
The gentle action of the long
permanently -lubricating, hydraulic
aIly-controlled springs in the new
Pontiac straight eight, is supple
mented at 81 points in the chassis
by the cushioning and silencing ef-
feet of rubber insulation.
The motor is cushion-mountec
on five thick pads Of permanent
rubber compound. Rubber insul-
ates the rear axle from the springs
the springs from the frame and
the frame from the body. Even
the front tenders, mounted as a
unit on a single supporting men,
Der. are attached through rubber
to the front cross member of the
frame.
Cone shaped hollow pneumatic
rubber stops on the axle serve as
auxiliary springs by absorbing the
shock of the frame. on the axle
which might result we're the wheels
violently to encounter a large
bump or deep depression.

LAST NIGHTS BOXING CARD
FEATURED BY THREE KAYOS

What had been scheduled as a
10 round main event on the box
ing card at the El Centre arena
last night had a sudden and per-
manent ending in the second round
when Max farley, fast moving
and hard hitting Filipino slipped
over a haymaker on Kid Munoz Of
Yuma.
Evidently determined to get out
of the cool air as soon as possible
farley tore right into the boy from
Yuma with the opening gong and
had Munoz down for a count of
nine with a hard right to the jaw
before the round was a minute old.
Munoz weathered this round, how
ever. but in the second farley did
not give him a chance. Another
hard right to the head put the Kid
on the canvas again for nine count
and when he got back on his feet,
Max swarmed all over him. The
Knockout blow was a terrific right
TO the Jaw which lifted Munoz off
his feet. Bill Tackett tolled off the
fatal 10 just one minute and 80
seconds after the round had op-
ened. farley weighed l26 and Mu-
noz 125 pounds.
In the six round seri-final be-
tween Gene Espinosa, Manila, and
frankie Brown. San Diego, the end
ing was even more sudden than in
the main event. Hardly had the
settled back into their
seats after the opening bell than
Brown was down for a count OF
eight. It was all over then and
Imperial Valley press., 1933-04-12

there for when Brown got himseli
upright again he was met with an
other right to the jaw whic flat
tened him again, this time for a
nine count. The knockout came one
minute and 40 seconds after the
fight had started, neither boy hav-
ing had time to work up a good
sweat
Romero Wins
The special event was a four
round bout between George Ro-
nero. 1877, San Diego, and frankie
Hurst, 134, Los Angeles, which went
to Romero by decision. Hursts pc
culiar style of fighting and a left
which he kept constantly in Ro-
mero's face had the latter guess
ing for the first two rounds and he
could not get inside to do much
damage. In the third stanza, how
ever. he found the key and getting
Hurst off balance he kept his ad-
vantage and hammered him with
everything he had. 1t was one hec-
tic round, Hurst being down six
times during the session. In the
final round he was almost out on
his feet at the bell and the decision
went to Romero.
BY far the best fight of the eve
ming was the second event, a four
round affair featuring Kid Jaraada,
Manila and Nino Perez, San Diego.
Both boys weighed 116 pounds and
trTl,0 ,0l q Af n c11nvxr for tho
customers. They started in at each
other from the beginning and never
let up during the entire four
rounds, showing plenty of willing
ness to take as well as give plenty
of punishment. Bill Tackett'S draw
decision received the approval OF
the crowd which gave the boys
quite a hand when they climbed
through the ropes after the fight.
Spud Kelly. San Diego, won on
a technical knockout in the open
ed from Benny Solomon, El Centro.
Solomon was put down for an eight
count in the second and in the
third he went to the canvas twice
from the punishment Kelly kept
inflicting on his midriff. After the
last time down, Tackett stopped the
fight and gave the victory to Kel-
".
A fair sized audience witnessed
the bouts with all the amateur
boxes from El Centro who are to
take part in the tournament start
ing next Monday evening being
among the most interested specta-
tors present.
