LOS ANGELES, Jan. u. U.P)-
The Los Angeles baseball club of
the Pacific coast league likely will
become guardian angelo of some
western association club, it was
learned today.

of the Angels, said club officials
probably would accept an invitation
TO sponsor one of the class C en-
tries as a farm for young players.
The circuit, recently reorganized, in
cludeS Springfield, Mo-, Joplin, Mo.
Bartlesville, Okla, and three other
cities to be named later.
eff we determine to support a
club" Reichow said, "we might
send our manager back there to
handle the players. We need a club
like one in the western association,
which will be a class c organiza-
ton, for the purposes of seasoning
our players.
Two of the reasons we won last

If the Angels accept the offer,
which came from Tom Fairweath-
er, president of the western associa-
ton, they will be joining the Gin
cinnati and st. Louis clubs of the
National League and Boston and
Detroit clubs of the American
League in promoting the class c
loop. The Angels last year planned
with several other coast league clubs
to sponsor clubs in an Arizona state
league but the league organization

This Lettuce
Has Big Head

What is claimed to be the largest
head of lettuce in captivity is now
on display at the Ell Centre Cham
'ber of Commerce and has been pho
tographed by Leo Hetzel in order
that photographs may be sent back
home to convince residents of the
east that Imperial Valley is all we
claim it to be when it comes to
raising winter crops.
The head, raised by the M. o.
Best company, is estimated to be
about two-dozen size. The usual
shipment in Imperial Valley is four
and five dozens, with five dozen
largely predominating. The head is
perfect, of high quality, and as firm
and hard as the proverbial rock.
Robert Hays, manager of the To-
cal chamber, after careful computa-
ton, states that this head of lettuce
would last the most ardent lover Of
the famous Imperial Valley white,
winter, iceberg head lettuce about a
week and would make enough salad
for a family with three sets of twins
and several triples of triplets.

game to the Tucson High School,
Badgers by 42-10 score on the To-
cal gymnasium floor on Saturday
evening.

played than the score would indi-
cate as the Apacnes put up a gal
liant fight throughout the entire
contest with a jinx hanging over
them at all times when it came tc
connecting with the hoop, and left
them on a far shorter end of the
score than their performance justi-
fled.

tremely close first quarter in which
close guarding kept both quintets
from effectively connecting with the
basket and left the score at 80 in
the Badgers favor as the frame clos
ed. In the second quarter the Bad
gers began to break through the
Apache defense for a string of
field goals that gradually placed
them into a 1914 lead at the half
time, 32-7 count at the end oil
the third quarter and a 42-10 score
at the close of the game.
