Time Still SaUed
By Using Airmail

Even though Imperial Valley lost
direct air mail service by elimina-
ton of the route between Phoenix
and San Diego, FL Centrans still
may save time by using air mail,
according to c. c. jenkins, local
postmaster.
BY starting air mail on the 2:30
train in the afternoon, two hours
will be saved on the trip to Los
Angeles. as the mail will be trans
ferred TO a mail plane there, said
jenkins. Air mail is carried from
Los Angeles to New York in 81
hours.
All beacons marking the route
between Phoenix and San Diego,
via Imperial Valley, have been re-
moved. jenkins said, and the valley
now has no direct air mail service.
The beaconS were installed TO guide
pilots in night flying.
Residents may assist postal en-
ployees here by depositing as much
Of their mail as possible for the
2.3O afternoon train. The bulk Of
FL Centro mail is deposited in the
post office after 2:30 O'Clock and
must be handled for the $3.50 train
according to jenkins.

NE N DEAL IN
LOCAL BOXING

The spirit of "New Dealp inaug-
urated by President Roosevelt in
national affairs has permeated I'M
perial Valley boxing as is evident
from the set-up for next Friday S
program at the local arena.
Bobby Pacho, idol of fans here
for many years past, is to return
as headliner to the ring where he
made valley fight history and also
a lasting name for himself. AS op-
ponent to Bobby, is Alex Hadrian,
Detroit scrapper who has given a
splendid account of himself since
coming to the coast and will give
the fans all the fight they want
no matter whom he may stack up
against.
This is no setup for Pacho-not
in the least. Just a few months
ago Bobby lost to Peter Jackson,
state champion, Los Angeles Negro
by a knockout. Since that time
jackson has also met Hadrian and
gave him everything he had. with
Alex plodding right along with him
all the way until a battered eye
made it impossible to go any furth-
er and the referee was forced &c
award Jackson the verdict on
technical knockout.
Here is the making of a good
fight. Pacho can give plenty, ey-
eryone who has seen him fight
knows that. Now he is up against
another Tom Heeney who can take
plenty and keep on coming in fol-
more. Those who have seen Alex
fight since his arrival on the coast
say that it takes plenty of hard
Wallops to slow him up for even
a moment Bobby will have his
/ hands full next Friday night.
Charley Ike, recently appointed
referee for this section of the state
will be the third man in the ring
for Fridays card. The fans are
right behind the managers of the
Athletic club and are ready to give
unstinted support to any move thai
will bring better boxers, evenly
matched, to the valley. A sugges-
/ ton offered by an increasing group
Of fans is to the effect that Ca
MouSseau be brought back again as
announcer. Those who remember
| the golden days of boxing here
when the arena was generally jam
med to capacity and fighters really
/ fought, are behind this movement
/ to bring Cal back again.

La Barba Likely
To Lose Eyesight

LOS ANGELES, June 6. U.H-
Fidel La Barba, American Italian
boxer, may lose the sight of his left
eye, it was learned today when the
fighter was forced to return to a
darkened room.
An operation was performed on
La Barba s eye several months ago
after he was defeated in New York
by Sailor Tom Watson of England.
Yesterday bandages were removed
from the injured eye, but physi-
clans counseled La Barba to return
to a darkened room so science may
have another chance to save the
eye.
La Barba sprang into boxing
prominence when he won an Olym-
pic championship in 1924 and then
turned professional under the man
agment of George Blake. He won
the flyweight title and retired un-
defeated to enter Stanford Univer-
sity. Following an 18-month alb
sence from the ring he returned
to enter the featherweight divis-
ion.

MAGGIOS WIN

Staging the most startling upset
of the night ball league season
Maggio's Fat Boys showed the Shi-

of hits and runs on Wilson field
last night and emerged with the
long end of a 21-3 score. This de-
feat. following the one administered
to John Kepley's boys last week by
the Golden Staters, almost elimi-
mates them from championship
honors.
The losers contributed to their
own downfall when their defense
went to pieces, six misplays being
chalked up against them.
The first inning passed without
trouble and then in the second came
the deluge when hits and errors
followed in quick succession to give
the winners eight runs. Not salts
fled with this taste of blood the Fat
Boys added four more in the third.
Then came a breathing spell for
one inning and another barrage OF

Held scoreless until the seventh
inning, the Druggists put over one
run in that inning and added two

came for, we told Madame, was to
find out the winner of the Max
Schmeling -Baer fight at Yankee

knew all, certainly she could give
lis the winner.
Yes, Madame could give Us the
Winner but it would take a little

private thinking chambers. We had
read the Elks magazine for last

were growing a little nauseated
from the odor of incense that clung
to all the trappings of the estab-

with the verdict.
"I predict Baer. BY a knock

We told Madame, in roundabout
way, that she was crazy; that if
there was any "knockawayine,
Schmeling would do it.

Madame continued, his name is

We had to agree with the seeress
about the four business. Four does
seem to be Baer'S number. He
usually has, we recalled, four loves,
four managers and four lawsuits,

PALO vERDES
REQUIRE CARE

Future growth Of the many
hundreds of palo verde trees which
have been planted on the streets
Of FL Centro during the past two
winters depends upon the care they
get at the present time, according
to Mrs. J. S. Jones, chairmen of
the FL Centro Chamber of Com
merce tree planting committee.
Mrs. Jones has had charge of the
distribution of the chamber palo
verde trees and has instructed in
dividuals in the proper method Of
planting and caring for the same.
Her interest at the present time
is in seeing that the palo verde
trees have proper irrigation.
young palo verde trees should
be watered quickly" stated Mrs.
Jones today Buy that 7 mean the
water poured on and allowed to
seep quickly through the ground.
Slow irrigation or standing water
in hot weather will destroy the
roots of the trees. The most sat
isfactory method of watering the
palo verdes in warm weather IS
to see that the ground around each
tree is we'll cultivated and a large
bowl dug out Of the ground around
the trees. Each evening after the
sun is down, this bowl should be
filled with water. If the water
does not seep into the ground
quickly a trench, circling the tree
about three feet from the trunk,
should be made and the water
turned into the trench rather than
directly on the tree"
Mrs. Jones cited the palo verde
trees in the newer residence Sec
tions in the western part of the
city as examples of proper care
and resultant growth. Trees which
were planted a year ago last Feb
ruary and have had proper care
are blooming at the present time.
B IF trees have not shown much
growth it would indicate that soil
conditions or methods of irrigating
are not correct, according to Mrs
/ Jones.
: THE chamber tree planting COM
mittee is particularly interested in
/ seeing every palo verde tree make
/ the greatest possible growth, stat
ed Mrs. Jones, because we are
/ planning our first festival of the
palo verde when the trees through
out the city bloom next year This
festival will attract many visitors
to FL Centro and we hope TO have
