PAUL LUkAS IS CLOBE-TROTTER
 BY REPUTATION
John Wayne Is New Star m Westerns-Double
 Bill Closes Tonight

Paul Ldkas, who has the leading role witdh Loretta Young in first Nationals comedy dealing with the great American pastime of bridge, Grand Slam," which closes at the Coliseum Theatre tonight, has the reputation of being a cosmopolite, having wandered over more parts of the earth's surface than any other Hollywood actor. He claims that his penchant for travelling came as a result of being born on fast express train just as it was pulling into Budapest. Tt must have been a sort of inherited ten dency," he said At any rate I have been on the go ever since"
 Although he is one of the young est of the hard-riding western stars of the screen, John Wayne has forged to the front with amazing rapidity since his tall, well-knit figure first flashed in front of the lens. In his latest four-star west ern picture, "The Telegraph Trail, " which is also closing tonight at the Coliseum Theatre, he is sure to win new followers as the young government scout and Indian fighter, forced to cope, single handed with an Indian uprising that threatens to exterminate an entire frontier settlement.

FRIDAY CARD

Art Mccullough, local heavy
weight is training this week for the
fight of his career as he is to meet
Sal Salvador, Mexican heavy, in a
10 round return go next Friday
night at the local arena. Sal is the
, first opponent who has made Art
go over four rounds for a decision,
his first three fights here having
been won by kayoes in the early
rounds of each event.
In their bout last Friday the two
heavies put on one of the fastest
heavyweight scraps seen here in
years. Mccullough had a hard time
landing his famous right solidly on
the fast and shifty Mexican. Saliva
dor had wrong impression of the
local boys capabilities and found
out his mistake when it was too late
to get going properly. He has pro-
fitted by this error and will be ready
Friday to pile up an advantage right
, from the start.
Mccullough showed fans Friday
night that he can take it as Saliva
dor landed several husky wallops
that would have flattened a less
staunch opponent and with another
weeks training behind him, he feels
he will be able to take whatever
else Sal might have in reserve.
1t is hoped that Bert Colima, who
shas been Sails instructor during the
three years he has been in the game
will be able to be in his protege's
corner this week. Sal feels that
with Colima to direct him here the
story will have an altogether differ
ent ending.
This fight will be the main event
on the program for this week and
the management is arranging other
bouts of high class to round out
the card.

INDIANS TAKE
LEAGUE LEAD

NEW YORK, May 28 U.P) -
Walter Johnson's fast-stepping In
dians have wrested the American
league lead from the floundering
Yankees.
Improved pitching and excellent
all-around play meant seven VIC

eastern invaders. The Yanks, stag
gering through the west with weak
hurting and lowered morale, lost
eight out of Il.
The Indians took the lead yester-
day by nosing out the Athletics, Z

AS clicked off five runs in the first.
Cleveland won in the fifth when
Hale's homer provided the tying
run and Trosky tripled and scored
the marginal tally on Pytlak's fly.
st. Louis crushed the Yanks, 16 to
7, after hammering Ruffing, Des-
hong, and Smythe for Is hits. Camp
bells homer with the bases loaded
featured the Browns eight-run rally
in the fourth.
Washington downed the White
Sox, to 6, pounding Jones and
Tietje for IA hits, some of which
were clustered for. three runs in the
third and four in the sixth.
Boston remained in a tie with the
AS for sixth place when the Red
Sox lost to Detroit, 9 to 2. The Tig-
ers collected IL hits off Rhodes and
Pennock.
The Cardinals increased their
lead on second position by whipping
the PhillieS, 5 to 2, in 10 innings.

eight scattered hits.

Tor a temperance at Wilson field

first half of the present season.
In the seasons opener the Stude-
bakers trimmed the Coca Colas and
although the former team has a
firm hold on first place in the
league standings at present the
Coca Cola aggregation is always a
dangerous outfit to meet and may
turn the tables. No matter what the
outcome might be it should be real
ball game.
Tomorrow night the Cramer Bak-
cry and Golden State teams meet.
Cramer's have been contesting the
league leadership all through the
first round and at present are in a
second place tie with the Cox Bro

In any event We believe that three
real ball games are scheduled for
this week and we hesitate to make
any predictions as to the probable
outcome of any single one.

RETURNS WITH
TWO TITLES

With two state titles tucked in his
grip, Leroy Kirkpatrick, Central
Unions crack athlete, returned
home yesterday from Berkeley
where he won both the high and
low hurdles events, being the only
double winner in the meet and get
ting third place in competition for
his school
KirkpatriCk's time of 14.7 seconds
for the high hurdles broke the C.
I. F. record for that event, and also
broke the record for Edwards field.
at University of California, where
the meet was held. In the low hur-
dies event, "Kirk's" time was 23.9
seconds, which tied the C. I. F..
mark.
In neither of the events was the
local boy pushed and his time was
slower than he has made in pre-
vious attempts, his marks which
have brought him the worlds inter-
scholastic title for both events being
14.5 seconds for the highs and 23.5
for the lows.
Heavy rains throughout Friday
and Saturday morning made the
track at least a second and a quar-
ter slow, according to the opinion
of observers and newspapermen.
Kirkpatrick's performance was
stellar throughout as he knocked
over no hurdles either in the finals
or in the preliminary heats. He had
been advised to seek sure clearance
for each hurdle rather than an at
tempt at a low record, and needed
the advice.
San Francisco and Berkeley pa
pers gave the local athlete consid-
cradle praise and predicted bril-
liant future for him, one paper COM
pairing his time with that of most
college hurdlers, to the detriment of
the latter.

What effect do you expect the

lean Canal to have upon the pros
perity of the Ell Centro district? Do
you not expect construction work
on the west end of this canal and
the Coachella Valley canal TO be a
great stimulus to business in Ell

opening up of the new irrigation

after the completion of the Hoover
