Pair OF PaIookos

DENVER. Colo, April 4. U.R) -
A couple of ambitious Young Colo
rado men stand a good chance of
having their physical features al
tered somewhat tonight.
The two boys will swap punches
with Max Baer, that personable
young man who has become quito
well known as a contender for the
heavyweight boxing championship
Baer, who stopped off in Denver,
where he was born at very young
age and lived until he was an old
man of nine years, was scheduled
to step two rounds, or less, with
Willie Midivitch and then repeat
the performance with Sam Greer.
Each is big enough to know bet
ter. Midivitch stands 6 feet, 4
inches in height and weighs in at
2l0 pounds. Greer, a Negro, is a
little fellow. He weighs only 200
pounds and IS feet l inch tall.

To
Be HERE SOON

An advance copy of the new I'M
periai Valley directory has been
received at the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce and a check of this
volume shows it to be very COM
plete and accurate. The last di-
rectory issued was for 1880 and a
need of a new county guide has
been felt for more than year by
the chamber staff and business
houses.
1t is gratifying to note that the
population of. Imperial Valley is
given as $4,000, based on the num-
ber of individual names in the di-
rectory with allowance for women
and children whose names are not
listed separately. The Los Angeles
Directory company, publishers of
the new Imperial Valley directory,
have formula for estimating pop
ulation, worked out from years of
experience, and the estimated pop
alation of Imperial Valley in the
directory issued prior to the 1890
decennial census gave the popula-
ton at $4,000. The census figures
were 60,903, and the present esti-
mate of $4,000 indicates that the
valley is making steady growth in
population despite present farming
conditions which would normally
cause a decrease in rural popula-
ton.
A number of sound value increas-
es are noted in the new directory.
School values are $133,000 higher
in 1888 than 1890 and desert land
values $4,000 higher. Postal re-
ceipts for the county have gone up
$4,000 and the value of mineral re-
sources is $4,000 higher than three
years ago. Although the total value
of Imperial Valley crops is consid-
erably lower for 1892 than 1929,
1900 more carloads were shipped
There are 300 more property own
ers in the county, which are un-

BASEBALL To
START TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4. (U.H
baseball made its
1888 debut in advance of the major
league season today when the Pa
cific coast league launched its 31st
annual campaign.
The inaugural marked the return
of two-bit baseball to the coast,
bringing with it optimism among
club owners of an improved season
in point of attendance figures.
The champion Portland Beavers
started the season as favorites to
repeat. They were meeting the San
Francisco Seals here. Hollywood
played Sacramento at the capital;
Seattle was meeting Los Angeles in
Los Angeles; and Oakland enter
tanned the Mission Reds.
Generally fair weather brought
forecasts of swollen crowds, al
though no attendance records were
expected to be smashed.
Predicting that his team would
retain its championship this sea-
son, Manager Spencer Abbott of
Portland picked Sam Gibson to
hurl the opening game. Bill Hen
derson was scheduled to oppose
him. Gibson wore the uniform OF
the New York Giants last season
and previously pitched for the
Seals.
Los Angeles, Hollywood and Sac
ramento started off the season as
aggressive pennant-contenders. Mis-
sions, backed by galaxy OF am
bilious rockies, was considered a
dark horse. So was Seattle.
Fay Thomas, whose career in the
American League was brief, drew
the opening mound assignment for
the Angels. Haid was the probable
starter for Seattle.
In the Oakland-Mission game,
Cole was slated to start for the
Missions and Ludolph for the Oaks.

Terry. He's a likeable person,
which is more than you can say
for some of the managers iE the
national league ana Junior circuit,
as they've been calling the Ameri-
can for a century or two. But what
goes for Bill goes for Connie Mack
Gabby Street, Charlie Grimm, Joe
Mccarthy and all the rest. Can
you imagine Joe Mccarthy master
minding the Reds into pennant
this year? Or DOME Bush failing
to MASTER mind the Yankees close
to a flag in the American?
II you are inclined to believe We
underestimate the Importance OF
the decisions a manager and his
assistants make during the course
of a season, please remember what
a simple, simple game baseball Is
It's SO simple and unchanged from
what it was two decades ago that
Hans Wagner, who, outside of a
Wittle semi-pro ball hasn't bothered
with the pastime since 1917, can re-
turn as a big league coach without
having any back lessons to make
up. The things that constituted in
side baseball when Hans was an ac-
tive player constitute inside base
ball today. For contrast, imagine
the new tricks football coach who
quit the game during the war would
have to master today before return
ing to active duty.
Nine -tenthS of the strategy 10
baseball Is sheer guesswork and de-
pends upon sheerer luck for sue
cess. For example. pulling pitch
pr. deliberately passing a certain
thev cannot cover up-the fieldina
batter to get at another one ano
the hit and r1ln These things are
lust like splitting opeEers--it's 9
smart thing if YOU catch.
We also believe that the impor-
tance Of a manager as a leader ano
organizer is highly exaggerated
Most of the talk about baseball art
lists being temperatmental and need
ing a leader who they revere ano
respect to guide and inspire them
is malarkey. Most modern base
ball artists are business men enough
to know that their earning power
depends largely on the one thing
hitting and pitching averages.

GRAPE SUGAR
TEST RAISED

Valley grape growers will be in
terested in the news that the state
senate has passed bill raising the
minimum sugar test from II to ID
per cent in all districts of Califor-
MIA with the exception of the
Coachella and Imperial valleys
where a II per cent sugar test has
been required, according to m
formation received by B. A. Har-
rigan, agricultural commissioner.
The measure has been adyocat-
ed by growers in order to stimu-
late both the sale and the con-
sumption of Thompson and Malaga
varieties, increasing their demand
for them as table grapes by in
creasing their palatability.
Since this bill has been passed
there has been talk of raising the
standard to 10 per cent sugar test
for the rest of the state and those
growers interested are asked to IN
form the state department of agri-
culture SO that the measure may
he amended if desired when It
con es before the assembly.

creased about 500. The directory,
however, shows 1892 less farms op-

VALLEY WAN | TIE STANDARD
Of LIVING REDUCED thin
The Imperial Valley Morning Farmer
has been declared unfair to organized labor
by members of the Imperial Valley Typo
graphical Union, No. 7O7. This action fol-
lowed a number of conferences at which The
Farmer management was given every oppor-
tunity to continue harmonious relations
with the union
At special meeting called by the exc
cutlve council we reduced the night scale of
wages to the day scale, Notwithstanding the
fact that the night scale invariably calls for
30 cents shift more. Our present day scale
is So per day, figure par with printers
scales throughout the nation
1t has taken years of effort for men,
bers of the local union to build up the scale
to a decent standard of living. A nation
wide, compulsory fve-day week for the allie
waiting of our unemployed and heavy dues
and assessments to enable us to carry on
during this critical period makes the present
net earnings of a local member approximate
ly $3.50 per week.
Reduction in pay on the part of The
Farmer is more far-reaching-it not only ex-
tends to the printing fraternity, but means
that every class of labor will have to guard
against a cut in wages to meet the condition
that is being fostered by The Farmer. The
Farmer is the only shop within the jurisdic-
tion of this union to reduce wages. 1t is the
only one to go on record to reduce the STAN
dard of living in Imperial Valley.
We hoped The Farmer composing room
would be manned by crew of competent,
local, union Workers-men with families and
homes right here in Imperial Valley. In
stead of that The Farmer management has
elected to secure out-of-toWn, non-union
workers and declared lockout of union
workers, virtually seeking to destroy all that
we have striven for and attained, forcing us
to battle as best we can and our limited fl
nances will permit.
We plan on issuing literature from time
to time which we ask you to please read that
you may be enabled to Judge the merits of
our cause in this battle for Justice and
Brotherhood of Man-age-old American ira
ditions-and for uphoding the American
standard of living which the stand taken by
The Farmer would destroy

Nsgust 1, the opening day for govern
ment acceptance of pledges.
approximately 1000 employees
are receiving the benefit of the re-
duced hours, with Of course, no
reduction IN pay" says Mr.. Odle.
''In order to maintain our usual
high standard of service to our
customers, this necessitated the
employment Of about 200 more
men.
while our salaries have always
been higher than the average paid
by others in the retail automobile
accessory business, and while our
statesmen have always worked
a shorter number of hours than
others in this business, we have
pladlv done our part and signed
the agreement with President
Roosevelt.

pany has always adhered to the
high standard of quality and ser
vice established with the opening
of its first store in the west sew

fair price and fair working con-
ditions for our people.

FARMER CREDIT
EXPLAINED BY
MARICOPA MAN

MESA, Aug. 18-Frank v. Ander
son, secretary of the Maricopa
County Farm Loan association has
received the following information
from the Farm Credit administra-
ton, Berkeley, Calf, relative to
farm loans. He has requested the
Journal Tribune to print it in full:
Reduction or "scale-down" OF
farmers obligations has become an
important subject for discussion in
connection with farm finance re-
lief being administered under the
Emergency Farm Mortgage Act of
(NLay 12) 1888.
Tre necessity for the scale. down
in many cases was explained by
William H. Woolf, Agent Of Land
Bank Commissioner for the States
of California, Arizona, Nevada and
Utah, who said that study of ap-
plications shows that many of the
farmers applying for loans are in
such mad financial position that
they are virtually insolvent and
that there must be a scaling down
on the part of the farmers credit
ors to point where the farmers
will have an equity of at least $3.50
of the value of the farm property
before the Agent of the Land
meet established conditions if a
loan.
II want to state clearly said
Mr.. Woolf, that the Commission
er's Agent is neither court nor
a mediator between the farmers
and their creditors in effecting
these scale downs. The conditions
under which the Commissioner
loans may be made are clearly es-
tabliShed and it is entirely up 10
the farmer and his creditors to ar
rive at an agreement that will
meet established conditions if a
loan is to be made.
Creditors should observe that it
is to their advantage to allow a
reduction of obligations in cases
where loans could not otherwise be
allowed, for, if a scale-doWn will
enable loan to be passed it US
ually means that there will be cash
available for the creditors that
could not be obtained from other
