two runs that meant victory and
that was that.
Hurst and Ritter, rival pitchers,
both pitched steady games. Every
body knew what to expect from Joe
and he delivered; but fans who had

Fat Boys Score First
The first inning was scoreless.
The Fat Boys who were first at bat
went out in 1-2-3 order. In the
Cox Brothers half OF this frame,
Hurst and Jepway both singled but
were left on the paths when Post
took three healthy swings and
struck out.
Tony Maggio's boys scored their
first run in the second Stanza. Black
waited out Hurst and got a walk.
He took second on passed ball and
scored when Thomas shot double
to center. Young and E. Ritter fan
ned as Hurst bore down and Wylie
was an easy out on fly to third.
The score remained 10 In favor
of the Fat Boys until the last OF
the fourth when an error, three
walks and a double gave Cox's three
runs and a commanding lead in the
game. Post opened this session by
getting a free ticket to first. Head
was out on a fly to third and Briggs
got a lift on an error. Both runners
advanced on passed ball. Provence
famed but Beechey and Williams
were walked. Kretz bounced a dou-

LAND
EXPLORED BY
TWO YANKEES

PHILADELPHIA, April 26. U.P)
The mysterious land Of Svanetia,
buried deep in the heart Of the
Caucasus mountains, has been ex-
plored by two Americans.
Syanetia Is a country the size of
New Jersey, with several thousand
inhabitants who call themselves
Swans. 1t is one of the most mac
cessible and little known lands of
the world.
Julien Bryan Philadelphia, and
Tom Cobb. New York newspaper
man, managed to get several reels
Of motion picture film showing life
among she Swans. From Shaw
Show, a tiny health resort in
Southern Russia, they Travelled west
down the Rion river TO its source.
AS far as Gebi they Travelled by
horse and cart, but beyond Gebi
was a land inaccessible except by
foot, and then only during three
months Of the year.
Sheer valley walls and wide ice
fields were traVerSed before the
expedition reached the land Of the
Swans.
Primitive People
Here they found primitive peo-
pie, separated from each other by
ice and granite ramparts. So COM
plete was the separation that
neighbors a few miles apart were
alien in dialect, dress and customs.
The villages consisted of stone
houses built in the 18th century.
Each had a tower 10 protect the
owner from enemies. Either white
washed or weathered TO rich
brown, the houses hung TO the sides
Of banked cliffs. The capital OF
Syanetia is MeStia, distinguished
from the other villages only by
possessing a few more houses.
The Soviet influence has pene-
trated even TO Mestia, the explorer
reported.

nine safeties, some OF which were
clustered for three tallies in the big
eighth inning. st. Louis made
three errors.
Cubs Keep Pace
Boston at Washington was post
poned by cold weather.
In the National League, the amaz-
ing Cubs stretched their string OF
victories to seven, just two less
starting record. They established
a record yesterday for seven con-
secutive games without using a sub
stitute as they trounced Cincinnati,

WILD NINTH INNING SUGGEST
SCORES WIN FOR COX BROTHERS

In a wild ninth inning rally dur
ing which a swarm of base hits
gathered about the hapless head of
S. Harris like angry bees, the night
ball team representing Cox Brothers
in the city league steamrollered two
tallies across the plate To defeat
Maggio's Fat Boys by 5-4 score. II
was the first appearance of either
team on the diamond this season
and the game they staged was one
which kept the fans in suspense
throughout.
AS the last half of the fateful
ninth opened the Fat Boys were in
the lead by one run and it appear
ed that Jack Kepley's team was due
for defeat. Whether Jack gave his
boys a short pep talk or n shot of
something CD or perhaps they made
IL up on their own hook, will never
be known definitely, but in this last
stand they went wild, berserk, or
what have you, and pounded the
apple to all corners of the lot. When
the winning run crossed the plate
there were no outs and .he remain
ing warriors were still grouped about
home plate with their war cluos
ready to continue the assault If nee
essary.
Here's how: Beechey was walked.
Williams raped singing double
over second, Kretz tapped a single
past first, Joe Hurst followed with
another base hit and DC Jepway
nearly tore Ritter wide open with
a terrific clout which hit the Fat

lightweight boxer, and a good one,
is carrying.
Veteran of 425 fights in the ring,
and with a record for always doing
his best, the old warhorse never got
up into the championship class, but
when he hung up the gloves a year
ago he had the satisfaction of know
ing that every fan who ever saw him
fight Is for" him, and that's some
thing 10 think about.
And Trench has picked out El
Centre as the place to see what he
can do in instructing youngsters in
the art of boxing, helping business
men reduce their waistlines and in
promoting fights at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club.
When he was here several years
ago for a fight with Bobby Pacho,
Trench fell" for Imperial Valley.
He wanted TO stay here and sports
followers had already picked out a
Job for him so he could have "cof-

strong.
