Pat SulLiUan
Killed By Car

Struck by the South-bound train
a short distance north of the Euclid
avenue railroad crossing shortly
after seven o'clock last night. Pat
Sullivan, 65, we'll known local plas-
tering contractor, was almost in
stantly killed when he stepped from
behind an oil tank car directly on
to the tracks in the path of the on
coming train. His body was dragged
about SO feet along the track and
was SO horribly margled that iden-
tification was possible only by pa
perS found in his pocket.
Sullivan had but recently been
discharged from the hospital follow
ing an operation and had been in
i'll health for long time past. Ad-
ded to this is the fact that he was
minus his left eye for many yc1rs,
the side he had toward the train
when it struck him.
The dead man had resided here
about 20 years and, according to
his own statement made TO men,
bers of the Eagles loge of which he
was the inner guard, he had no
living relatives.
Funeral services were conducted

educational trends at KiWanis club
luncheon at the Barbara Worth
hotel yesterday
He explained the progress made
and said that while everyone was
able to recognize the progress made
in the development of machinery.
1t was few who could detect the
vast advance and improvement IN
educational methods.
Many of those present, including
himself, he said. learned the alpha

Collins said, child learns to read
and to spell before he learns the
alphabet. 1t is a common thing
for children to have read seven or
eight books in the first grade while
one book was about the limit in
olden days.
1.-The years have taught school
heads an economical way to carry
on the Schools Collins said. He
quoted figures showing material
reductions in the cost per pupil over
the last 10 years. Each year shows
a decline in cost but an improve

ALL-STARS IN
GREAT VICTORY

Two thousand rabid night ball
fans crowded the Wilson school
grounds last night TO see the 1. v.
All-Stars trip up the Urban Out
laws of San Diego in one of the
most thrilling games to be played
on the local lot this season. The
final score was 10 and the game
was every bit as good as this close
score would indicate.
Joe Hurst and Charlie Comstock
engaged in pitching duel and the
game was decided when Frank
Smith of the All Stars picked out
one of Comstock's choicest offerings
and parked it over the barrier for
home run. Each twirler kept the
opposition down to three hits while
ComStock famed l6 and Hurst Is
batters.
Ted Ehmke turned in the fielding
spectacle of the game when in the
third frame with two men on the
bases he made a running dive and
caught Chet Smiths line drive
which was tagged for four bases
had it gotten away from Ehmke.
Forshey also fielded brilliantly and
was instrumental in keeping the
visitors away from home plate.
The Outlaws threatened to score
in the third, fifth and eighth in
nings but superb fielding on the
part of his teammates pulled Hurst
out of tight spots. In the sixth in
hing with one down, Williams and
Ehmke singled but their mates could
not produce the punch to bring
them all the way around.
This was the first defeat for the
losers this season and they are ask
ing for a return game which will be
played probably some time next
month.
Next Thursday night the Red
lands team will be down for a game
with the All Stars. This will be an
other corking good game as the
Orange Belt team has been going
high, wide and handsome this year.

WARMING Up
By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, June 10.-Coming
from behind with five four -baggers
in the last three games, Jimmy
Foxx, 1882 home run king of the
major leagues, appears to have
started an earnest title defense.
The Philadelphia Athletics slug
ging first baseman is tied now
with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig,
the Yankee home run twins. at IL
each for circuit clouting honors in
the majors.
Last year Foxx came within two
homers of tying Babe Ruth'S all
time record of so in a season.
Foxx and Gehrig rose to a tie
with the Bambino yesterday when
each garnered a four-bagger as
New York nosed out the Athletics,
7 to 6. Gehrig's blow came in the
first inning with two aboard. Tony
Lazzeri contributed a homer in the
eighth with two on, to win the
game. Foxx hit for the circuit in
the seventh.
Washington kept pace with the
ledulIlB dIlketS ny ClOullCliiB DOo-
ton, 7 to 2. Earl Whitehill allowed
the Red Sox seven scattered hits,
His mates found George Pipgras
and Bob Weiland fer 10.
Luke Appling's home run in the
14th inning gave Chicago a 10 to
9 victory over Detroit. The White
Sox overcame Detroit's lead with a
five run rally in the ninth to send
the game into overtime. Al Sim
mons hit a homer for the ChisoX
and Harvey Walker for the Tigers.
The Chisox made 18 safeties to De-
troit's Ia.
In the National league, the st.
Louis Cardinals replaced New York
in first position by smothering Chi
cago, IL to 2, while the Giants were
idle. 1t was the Cards 10th victory
in 19 contests.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, who had
lost eight games in nine starts, cele-
brated Hans Wagner day by blank
ing Cincinnati 2 to 0, when Steve
Swetonic held the Reds to six hits.
These were the only games Sched-
uled.

MAY REMATCH
MAKES AGAIN

NEW YORK, June 10. U.P)-The
aftermath of Make Raer's 10 round
technical kout over Max
Schmeling may be crystalized as
follows:
Jack Dempsey is ready to match
Baer with the winner of the Jack
Sharkey-Primo Carnera title fight
on June 20. It would be staged in
New York in Steptember. If Car
nera wins, this probably would be
impossible because the Italian is
tied up with Madison Square gar
den for another fight
If negotiations for Baer title
bout fail, Dempsey said last night
he probably will stage a return
Baer-Schmeling bout in New York
in September. Joe Jacobs, Schmel-
ing's manager, is hot after this
match, offering to bet $4,000 on
the side that the German will re-
verse Thursday nights result.
Should the New York public
show lack of interest in this return
bout, Dempsey said he might stage
it at Miami or Los Angeles during
the winter.
Baer may accept a four day show
ing at a Broadway theatre next
week before starting on a nation
wide exhibition tour at Buffalo, N.
Y, Friday night. Schmeiing's plans
are indefinite. He is visiting an
uncle, Albert Fuchs, at Bloomfield,
N. j.
Miss June Knight, actress, an
nounced her engagement TO Baer,
bue the "Livermore Larruper" said
he couldn't verify this because he
wasn't divorced from his present
wife.

SECRETARY OF
HIGHWAY PAYS
VALLEY VISIT

l.. c. Townsend, secretary of the
Broadway of America association,
accompanied by his wife and daugh-
ter, were visitors in Ell Centro to-
day. Townsend is making a tour
of all points along the Broadway
for the purpose of organizing a
Broadway club composed of indi-
Vidual members in the cities and
towns which lie on this transcon-
tinental highway, which extends
from Broadway, New York, to
Broadway, San Diego.
"Every business man on the
Broadway receives some benefit,
directly or indirectly, from the
Broadway of America Highway as
sociation," stated Townsend. "Be-
cause of this benefit the associa-
tion this year is asking every bus
mess man to become a partner in
the association through a member
ship, the minimum cost of which is
but one dollar per year. BY spread
ing the expense among many rath-
er than few the financial cam
paign of the association can be
cleaned up in a hurry and more
people will be interested in the
Broadway.
Accompanied by Robert Hays,
manager of the Ell Centro chamber,
Townsend visited other cities of the
valley today to explain the plans
for the Broadway Booster club
The campaign for members will be
conducted by each community in
dividually and in Imperial Valley
will be under the direction of Leo
Hetzel and w. A. Tondro, of Ell
Centro, and A. J. Mercier, of CAL
exico, all of whom are directors in
the Broadway of America associa-
ton.
