II you ask Jack Hagerty, Hoya coach,
about Williamson, he'll tell you the
lads 23o pounds are nearly all foot
ball meat and bone. Ask Williamson
about himself, and he'll launch into a
discourse on the qualities of Hagerty
as a coach and inspiration.
For Hagerty it was who gave Will
hanson his first real chance to prove
himself The big kid from st. Johns
apparently had little but heft when
he came to the Hilltop. He played
no foot ball in his first two years at
st. Johns, made only the second
team as a Junior, and as a senior
played few games as f1rst-stringer.

TINE Cardinals then put him in
charge of Oliver French, who
was business manager of the St.
Joseph club and is now in the same
position with the Greensboro, N. c.,
club. French took him to his home in
Charleston, Mo-, and saw to it that he
kept within the limits of the budget
set for him by Hickey.
Sent back to Houston In 1881, he
returned with a bride, who really looks
out for him and his finances Jerome
Herman Dean goes nowhere now with
out the spouse; she makes the road

Fulton Brylawski wants to know and
the question he has put up to the
United States Golf Association for de-
cision.
1t all happened at Woodmont few
days ago in an important match. With

caddie, believing the ball would stay
short of the cup, didn't pull the pin
out until the ball lobbed over the lip

he knocked the ball Is feet away. And
now the question is whether the ball
may be deemed to have holed out and
whether the penalty for ball striking
the pin applies in four-ban match
play.
John G. Jackson, chairman of the
Rules Committee of the U. S. G. A.,
will make the decision.

Hello Branch, or Boy!

DUT there was little chance OF
ID Dizzy Dean getting lost in the
crowd. He was sent at the start
Of the 1880 season to the st. Joseph,
Mo-, club, and before many days
passed, Branch Hickey had cause to
look up the record Of Jerome Her
msn Dean.
There was no record, but Dizzy
took care of that. He marched out
Of st. Joseph hotel one evening and
didn't return. Several days later he
was presented the bill, but he fumed
and argued that there was a mistake.
Il amt been there in a week." he
roared.
The Cardinals paid this and several
other bills contracted by Dizzy, and
put a black mark against his record
Then they had cause to notice Dean
for another reason. He had won IT
games and lost only 8, so before the
season Was over the Cardinals had to
take him out of ST. Joseph and send
him to the Houston club in the Texas
League.

IN JUNE IS, which is the last day
~ to make intra-league trades
without first asking waivers on
a player, Hickey offered to barter Leo
Durocher to the Cincinnati Reds for
Mark Koenig. Koenig was playing
great ball for the Reds at the time,
and Hickey figured the addition of a
good switch-hitter would add power
to the club-especially the addition of
Koenig, a great money player when
with club that has chance to win
But Larry MacPhail, vice president
and general manager Of the Reds,

HURRY 1T, PLEASE

General satisfaction with the bids
submitted at Yuma yesterday for con-
struction of the first part of the ALL
American canal, and a strong hope that
a contract will be let within the next
two weeks, is the prevailing opinion
throughout the valley today.
1t is not making a wild statement to
say that 80 per cent of the valley res
idents are satisfied that a desirable bid
will be found among those submitted.
The remaining 10 per cent either has no
thoughts about the subject or would not
be satisfied with any sort of contract
unless they were given full control over
it.
Four of the five directors on the I'M
perial Irrigation District directors have
expressed their satisfaction with the
bids and possibly before this appears IN
print will have gone on record as rec
commencing that the reclamation SER
vice accept the lowest practical bid and
award the contract
It is estimated that 10 days or two
weeks should be sufficient to enable the
various bids to be checked and decis-
ion on the contract reached.
According to a representative of the
PWA who was here yesterday, actual
construction must start 80 days after the
contract is let This would throw the
commencement of work into late sum-
mer.
Under the regulations of the PWA,
which will have supervision of the funds
allotted for the canal work, labor for
the canal is to be obtained through the
National Unemployment Service and all
employed on the canal must be register
ed through this agency.
The local Unemployment Service agen-
CIV reports that 1000 valley residents
have already registered for canal work
and in addition to these 1000 applica-
tions have been registered from residents
outside the valley. Preference is given
to veterans with dependents, then to
married men with families, single vet
erans and single men. All, naturally,
must be competent for the particular
work for which they are to be engaged.
Daily wages will range from 40 cents
per hour for common labor to S1.25 per
hour for skilled labor and the 40 hour
week will be maintained
There is sufficient labor already reg
istered to provide all that will be need
ed on the canal, according to officials.
It should be the duty of all to discour-
age any influx of labor from the out
side. for there will be no work for them
and thev will only add to the confusion
by being here jobless.
Actual start of work will mean the
beginning of a long period Of activity,
not only in the eastern part Of the coun-
ty but throughout the entire valley. 1t

doing just now

the Fox. Tell me-"
"Uncle Wiggily is in the garden,
hanging up the clothes!" said the
Bob Cat.

hoWled the Fox. Il suppose the next
joke will be that you'll tell me along
came blackbird and nipped off his
nose"
Nothing OF the sort!" snapped
the Bob Cat, trying to sit on his sill
ly tail. when saw Uncle Wiggily
he was hanging up sheets on the
line. The sheets are so big he can't
see us sneaking up on him, SO We
can easily catch him. And no black
bird had come along to nip off
his nose when I was there"
"We'll be the blackbirds!" chuck
led the Fox. We'll nip off not only
his nose but his ears Ha! Ha! Hal"
"Ha! Ha! Hal" laughed the Bob
Cat. Though if Uncle Wiggily had
been there I think he would not
have laughed.
So the two Bad Chaps went
Sinking along toward the rabbit
gentleman's hollow stump bunga-
low. They were swapping their teeth
and lolling out their tongues, for
they were getting hungrier each
minute.
BY this time Uncle Wiggily had
begun to hang up the pillow cases
by one edge as his wife had told
him to, so they were like big white
bags hanging out on the line with
the wind blowing them out.
"It is fun to hang the clothes, -
said the rabbit, gently twinkling his
pink nose. Then, all of a sudden,
Robin, the bird for whom he had
| made the bath, flew over the fence
hastily calling:
Hide yourselfl Hide yourself, I'm
Gle Wiggilyl Here comes the Fox
and Bob Cat. Hidel"
But where can hide?" asked
the rabbit. "I can't run into my bun
galow, for they'll see me and stop
me. Oh, dearl"
Hide in one of those bags" whis-
pered the bird, pointing a wing al
hanging pillow case. Jump in one
and hidel" Uncle Wiggily did this
and soon he was snuggled down in
side the hanging pillow case on the
line.
Along came the Bad Chaps. There
was no sign of the rabbit. They ne
yer thought of looking in the pill
low case. Ha! Ha. Ha!
"Fooled againl" snarled the Fol
and he made a face at the Bol
Cat.

can blow through them and dry
them more quickly"
Il will said the rabbit gentle
man and he began.
Uncle Wiggily had hung up some
Of the sheets and was thinking it
was rather fun than otherwise, and
he was standing between two sheets
on separate lines SO he couldn't see
who was passing along the wood
land path just outside his bunga-
low fence.
Perhaps it was a good thing the
rabbit gentleman couldn't see who
was passing, for ne might have hop
ped inside and stopped hanging up
the clothes. 1t was the Bob Cat who
went Sinking along the path, as
hungry and unpleasant as ever. All
Of a sudden the Bob Cat looked over
the fence and saw Uncle Wiggily
hanging out the clothes.
"Shiver my whiskersl" softly
mewed the Bob Cat like a sailor
puss. There's Uncle Wiggily He
can't see me on account of those
big sheets. I'll go get the Fox and
well come back here and nibble
him. I am very hungry for nibbles
this morning"
Taking one more look at the bum
ny rabbit gentleman, who knew
nothing Of the bad luck waiting for
him, the Bob Cat ran as fast as he
could to the den of the Fox.
