LEAGUE GAMES
BY limited Press

A dark and deeply-laid plot was
to begin its unfolding today in
Los Angeles where the second
place Mission Reds and the lea
gue-leading Los Angeles Angels re-
new their competition for first
place, now held by the Angels by
four full games.
Charles (Gabby) Street, mana
ger of the Reds and one-time pilot
of a worlds championship team,
was back OF the plot. aimed at
the Angels stranglehold on first
place. Street has figured out that
southpaw pitchers can and do stop
leaders. So he persuaded the Pitts
burgh Pirates to return left-hand-
ed Roy johnson to the Reds post
haste. Then he maneuvered his
other left-hander. Clarence Nit.
chell. so that the spitball ace, still
will be available for at
least two games in the series. The
Missions manager also plans to use
Johnson twice. The player is due
today or tomorrow.
Street may not have a southpaw
available for the opening of the
series today but he intends to shoot
lefties at the Angels in at least
four games. Mitchell shut them out
twice in their series here two weeks
ago.
While Los Angeles and the Mis-
sions are battling for first place,
the San Francisco Seals and Holly
wood will contest for third place
on the formers home grounds.
The Seals hold the place by one
half a game.
In the other series of the seventh
week of the campaign, Portland
plays at Oakland and Seattle at
Sacramento. The game at Sacra-
mento is the only night contest on
today's schedule.

be determined.
The baseball world will fix its BIZ
noculars particularly upon the
Yankees and Chicago Cubs, leaders
of the American and National
leagues, respectively, during the
next two weeks. They will be max
ing their first long road trips. Fail
ures on the road last year cost both

Yesterday the Cubs recaptured
the National lead by shading the
champion Giants, to 2, in 10 in

Idle Pittsburgh dropped to second

Terry and Camilli KEEP: the score

their respective clubs.
In the American league, Detroit
rose into a third place tie with idle
Philadelphia by virtue of a SO shut
out over Washington. Rain ended
the game after the sixth. Vic Sor-
rell held the Senators to two hits.
The White SoX downed the Red
SoX, 8 to 2, behind George Earn

Grove, in the second relief attempt
this season, pitched exceilently for
the Red SoX during six and two
thirds innings. The White Sox had
garnered six runs before his arrival

Rain, wet grounds and threaten

HEAVIES To
STAGE MAIN
EVENT HERE

Art Mccullough, El Centre heavy
weight boxer and claimant of the
county championship at his weight,
gets his first main event Friday
night. Art has never gone over three
rounds here. Two weeks ago he
kayoed Hank Hamilton of San Di-
ego in the third and last week he
stopped Mike O'Grady, former Wis
consin football player in the first
session.
On Friday night the fans will
have a chance to see what Art can
do over the 10 round route against
an equally good puncher. His oppon-
ent for this match is Jack Dillon,
young Canadian heavy who has
been in the game for the past three
years. While not a finished fighter
Dillon is strong and crowds his man
continually and never stops throw
ing leather.
This will be the first 10 round
heavyweight battle in the valley
since Willie Henry, Negro light hea-
vyweight, fought big Sam Baker.
Henry finally winning after he had
been floored a half dozen times and
Sam had been down at least nine
times.
The remainder of the card looks
first class with Frankie Venegas,
the Anaheim boy who has won the
main event here the last two weeks,
put in the semi-final with Snowy
White, a junior lightweight from
San Bernardino. White will out
weigh Frankie at least six pounds
and is a tough puncher.
Armand Brisson, the little French
Canadian who boxes main events in
British Columbia and is stable
mate of Jack Dillon, will box Mike
Villareal in the six round special.
This should be the fastest bout OF
the program as both boys weight the
same and have the same reach.
Brisson takes the place Of Al Ro-
nero who has a temporary miSun-
derstanding with the athletic COM
mission and will meet the winner
of this bout later.
Pelino Garcia and Obie Miller are
signed up for the preliminary. La
dies with escorts will be admitted
free, according to the management.

LONDON, May Is. W.H = IF
you're looking for column" sug-
gested Chandler Egan, why don't
you get Jack Westland and Johnny
Dawson together, buy em a couple
of ales and ask them about the
time they visited Lord and Lady
Astor and barely escaped wearing
tuxedos to an afternoon of racing
at Ascot?"
The Messrs. Westland and Daw-
son were cornered, the ales brought,
and the question asked. I got the
story, it was in 1929, and Jack
and Johnny, with highly insult
ficient funds, were at Sandwich for
the British open. Lord and Lady
Astor met them. liked them, and
asked them to be guests at Give
den, their summer home near Lon
don, for 10 days.
I'VE accepted" Westland said,
"and I'll never forget the morning
we arrived at that gorgeous place.
To save money travelling around,
Johnny and I had bought a 1914
model Vermol automobile. You
can imagine what it looked like
I tell you We paid less than five
dollars for it, and that it didn't
have a top, tenders, lights nor
brakes, and would get so hot after
a few miles that the engine would
keep running 10 minutes after the
switch was turned off. The first
time we rode in it I was driving
down a narrow little street in Sand
wich I turned corner and found
myself in a dead end street, with
a house smack in front of me. I
jammed on the brakes, but I just
might as we'll waved my handker-
chief for all the good it did.

to Johnny.
HE did, but discovered it al
ready was on. A second later We
cracked into the front of the house
and bounced back. Well, the Ver-
mol looked even worse after that,
and we must have been something
to look at when we chugged into
the grounds at Clivenden at about
three miles an hour.
Some sort of second foot
man or valet in red coat took
charge of us when we arrived. He
showed us our room and told us
to hurry and get dressed that Lord
and Lady AStor were taking us to
Ascot at noon for the races. We
had seen enough pictures of Ascot
to know that it was as much a
fashion show as it was racing, with
the women all dressed up in every
thing in sight, and the men in
toppers and gray tailcoats. Well,
we didn't know what to put on.
Finally we decided that even
though it was the middle of the
day, and even though we were
going to horse races, we'd put on
our tuxedoes. 1t was the only thing
we had.
80 we got all dressed up and
started out the door. We hadn't
taken 10 steps when the fellow
in the red coat ran up with a
look of absolute horror on his face
and told us to get back in the
room. He almost pushed us back
in there. Then he explained that

NEW YORK, May Is. - This is
May Is, the day that the axe swings
throughout the major leagues as
managers chop down their squads to
comply with the 23-player limit
which goes into effect at midnight.
1t is day of dread for rockies
trying to gain foothold in the big
time and for veterans who are slip
ping. Some of them must go. Most
of the 16 clubs must sell, trade, op-
ton out or release from one to three
men to keep within the limit.
Boston's Red SoX reduced to the
limit yesterday by giving Joe Judge
veteran first baSeman, his uncondi-
tional release. Detroit released on
option Steve Larkin, right handed
pitcher, to Toledo of the American
association. The New York Yankees
are expected to send Norman Kies, a
rookie catcher, and Pitcher Charley
DevanS to their Newark farm club
for further seasoning. Cleveland will
release one man, identity as yet un-
known. The Dodgers released Phil
Page. left handed pitcher, and
Glenn Chapman, utility outfielder,
to Albany of the International cir
cult. and so on.
May Is is doubly important this
year because tonight eastern Amer

GET ANOTHER
WEEKS GRACE

LOS ANGELES, May 10. U.P)-
King Levinsky, the Chicago fish
peddler. was given a week s grace
today to return to Los Angeles and
keep ring appointment with Art
LaSky.
The Kingfish took "runout
powder" last Friday night after
being denied a poStponement of
the bout that was scheduled for
tonight at the local Olympic. His
disappearance remained a mystery
until yesterday when it was learn
ed he had telephoned from T1icum-
carl. N. M. that he and his sis
ter, Lena. were motoring east. 1t
was presumed they were bound for
Chicago.
Levinsky'S defiance left Promot-
er Lou Daro in a tempest. He
threatened to sign a warrant for
the fighters arrest.
"I'm getting out a warrant for
Levinsky," Daro shouted. II ad-
vanced him $500 on this fight and
he runs out without a word. We
have sold over $4,000 worth of tic
ketS. If he doesn't show up by
2:30 p. m. Tuesday I'm going to
prosecute. ~
Daro later cooled and turned the
arrangements over to Matchmaker
Tom Gallery who said the bout
would be postponed until next
Tuesday night to give Levinsky a
chance to return.
The state athletic commission
threatened to suspend the Kingfish
for a year if he fails to report.

A wild insurrection took place
in El Centro last night and when
peace was finally brought to
troubled baseball field it was noted
that Maggios Fat Boys had arisen
in their might, had smacked the
old agate to all corners Of the lot
and handed the Cramer Bakery
outfit their first defeat OF the sea-
son. The final score was 1913 and
for the first half of the game 1t
appeared that the total for the
Fat Boys would mount to even
greater heights.
Lynn Stewart dependable twirler
for the Bakers was slightly OIL
form last night. Added to this was
the fact that the Fat Boys had
their bats oiled up, their batting
togs on and were not to be denleo.
Any other pitcher would probably
have feared the same had he been
tossing them up to the Fat Boys
last night. Stewart got things un-
der control during the second hal1
of the game, put an effective damp
er on the batting spree, and ended
the scoring orgy in which the VIM
ners had indulged during the tirst
half of the game.
The Fat Boys started right in to
put the game away in the flrst
stanza. Baker. first man up
scratched an infield hit. Young
walked and the best Lara could
do was a strikeout. Black bounced
a hit over the infield scoring Baker
and Young and scored Jew mo-
ments later when Thomas walloped
a two batter to center. Willlngham
scored Thomas on single. Eman-
uelli got a pass to first. E. Ritter
famed and S. Ritter was out at
first to conclude the inning during
which four runs were scored.
Not content with this lead tne
Fat Boys added another in the
second when Lara was sale on an
infield error and scored on Black S
long double to left.
The Bakers scored their first
run in the third inning. Allen was
out on a fly to left. B. Stewart
got a life on an infield wobole
and Neeley walked. Smith popped
| a high fly to the first baseman
but L. Stewart scored B. Stewart
when he singled down the third
base line. Valverde brought the in
ming to a close when he struck
out.
Young Hits Homer
Four more runs were scored oy
the Fat Boys in their half OF the
fourth on four hits and two errors.
Baker beat out an infield hit and
scored when Young lambasted the
ball for a home run. 1t was hard
hit ball which travelled over sec
ond base and into the cars lining
the field at right-center. Lara was
an infield out. Black and Thomas
were safe on infield errors and
scored on singles by Emanuelli
and E. Ritter. Willingham and 5.
Ritter were outs to finish the IN
ming.
The Bakers threatened in their
half of the fourth when Daniels
opened with an infield out. White
sneaked a single through second
but was forced at second when
Garcia's hard hit grounder to
short was taken for the putout
Allen famed leaving Garcia on
! first.
In the fifth frame the Fat Boys
scored their final run OF the game

Young singled through first putting

DYEING OR BLEACHING
THE HAIR
By
MARJORIE DUNCAN

MY ADVICE to women who are
iN1 tired of the color nature gave
their tresses is: think not twice but
several times before you decide
and then If you must dye, let an
expert do 1t. Home dyeing is such
a difficult task and success a rather
rare phenomenon that it is best to
follow the advice of Puck-"dOD't."
In the first place, as color art
ist Nature Is very clever. Look
around you. See how well skin,
eyes, brows, lashes and hair usual
ly 90 together. Sometimes even a
slight bleaching or dyeing of the
hair gives a very artificial look to
the color scheme.
There are many excellent dyes
and bleaches on the market, so it
Is not these products particularly
in the finer grade) that / object TO.
Dyeing should be done by an expert
Having found a specialist who
really does excellent work and sat
isfied with the first dyelng. it Is
well to return to the same expert
when the hair needs retouching and
when the new hair that has since
grown in at the roots needs dyeing.
She will know what dye was used
before (and 1t is important that the
same sort of dye be used again).
She will know how much to use and
so on. And 1t is very intricate and
technical to get an even and natural
coloring and have the new hair
that is being touched up" blend
perfectly with the hair already
dyed. One thing women do not re-
member Is that hair once dyed must
be retouched every so often. Many
are under the mistaken impression
that one sitting is all that is neces-
sary. 1t isn't.
There are still many women who
feel that graying hair is a symbol
Of age, even though most beauty
authorities contend that 1t can be
made a definite mark of beauty and
distinction. II graying hair affects
your spirit as well as your looks.

expert do It. II your hair Is
streaked and rinses won't help, you

treatments such as brushing and
massage seem slow and rinses won't

too many women who are slow and

WANTS TO KNOW
HOW THE CURVES
GET THAT WAY"

From the top of her night club
piano Helen Morgan looks about her
and sees curves and still more curves
and finds them all delightful.
But it is not necessary to climb to
the top of a piano to observe the
anatomical phenomena which Miss
Morgan discusses. There are curves
on every hand, sometimes emerging
where they had been least suspected.
Everywhere the boyish figures of yes
teryear are blossoming seductively.
The flat-chested and slab-sided femi-
nine contours of predepreSsion days
are as extinct as petticoats. Prob
ably it may be set down to feminine
contrariness that the curves of fash
ion began to swell when the statis-
tlcal curves Of business were all de-
clining.
How the transformation has been
effected Is source of continual
amazement to the uninitiated. Miss
Morgan gives hint: "The women
took tuck in their waistlines, pulled
them up a bit and 10! The curves
were there" She also lays it to the
times: repeal, good food and good
fellowship. But the curves beat re-
peal to it by at least q year. Some
thing must be said for food. The
sweet young things who used to
starve on Melba toast, a lean lamb
chop and glass of water now frank
ly admit that they like pot roast and
mashed potatoes and are no longer
afraid to eat them.
That's break for the beef and
potato industry. One wonders, how
ever, how long the mode will last
and shudders at the painfulness of
the defation when the curves go out
as suddenly as they came in.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
