COLLINS GOES
To CARDINALS

NEW YORK, May 8 W.P)-- "Fid-
getty" Phil Collins, right-handed ace
of the Phillies, reported to the
Cardinals today, giving the world
champions their fifth starting pitch
er and ostensibly bringing them
hope of relief from the embarrass-
ment of nesting in fourth place, be-
hind even the Dodgers, in the Ma
tional League standings.
Acquisition of Collins yesterday
in straight cash transaction added
an experienced winner to a pitch
ing staff none too sturdy beyond
the Deans and composed of Bill
Walker, Wild Willie Hallahan, and
a bullpen full of rockies and relics.
With Collins in uniform, the
Cardinals were scheduled today to
begin their twice postponed start of
the Brooklyn series. The Cardinals
can, by winning today. knock the
Dodgers out of third place and re-
main in position to take advantage
of any lapse by the league-leading
Giants and second-place Cubs.
The Giants, in front by so scant a
margin that the fourth-place Cards
are only two games back, retained
their position yesterday as rain
washed away all National League
games and one of four in the
American.
The White Sox increased their
lead and simultaneously knocked
the Yankees out of third place into
a tie with the idle Red Sox by beat
ing the New Workers, to 3.
Chicago moved half game further
ahead of the Indians, rained out
with the Red Sox, and did it with
an attack that drove Lefty Vernon
Gomez from the hill.
Detroit got five hits from the
pitching of Tommy Bridges and
beat the Athletics, 5 to 3, on IL hits
allowed by Cain, the loser, and
Marcum. Moses hit homer in the
eighth with FoXx on.
Whitehill scattered nine Brown
hits and Washington won, 7 to 3,
from the whole st. Louis pitching
staff.

D|CKER WITH
LONDOS FOR
MA TCH HERE

John Contos, the man who in a
few short weeks has had everyone
in El Centre and the Imperial
Valley talking about his wrestling
matches, today announced that he
has been conducting negotiations
with Ed White of Chicago, manager
of Jim Londos, to bring the worlds
champion here soon. It is under
stood that White is demanding a
minimum guarantee of $2.500 for
the champion. If Contos is success
ful in securing Whites signature to
a contract, the Gorgeous Greek"
will probably appear here within a
month, against suitable opponent
Friday night will see the third of
the present series of wrestling
matches. Sander Szabo and Ted
Christy. who put on the roughest,
slam-bang match ever to be seen
here, return this week to fight it
out to a finish. winner take all"
by order of Inspector Harry Wood
bury of the State Athletic Commits
sion. The other half of the double
wind-up sees Vincent Lopez pitted
against Gene LaDoux According to
Jacques Curley, veteran New York
promoter, Lopez is on his way to the
championship and may some day,
soon replace Jim Londos.
The preliminary to what appears
the best card yet to be presented
to Valley fans. will have JagaI
Singh, who became instantly popu-
air here last week, against Michele
Mike Romano, claimant of the
Italian championhip. From the
standpoint of holds and strictly
wrestling tactics and ring general
ship this should be one of the best,
if not the best match yet to be
billed here.
Kimon Kudo, the Japanese jiu
jitsu artist who has proven the
sensation or the Los Angeles Inter
national Elimination Tournament,
will meet Dodo Sikh, the Senegalese
Negro, in the special attraction.

PARTAN NINE
DEFEATED BY
BORDER TEAM

Calexico yesterday retained its
hold on the valley baseball cham
pionship by defeating Central high
school 1912 on the local diamond.
Losing this game tied Central with
Holtville for third spot in league
standings.
The Spartans played good ball,
but were unequal to the slaughter
ing attack of the Bulldogs who
have a ctean slate OF victories for
the entire season.
Honors on the Spartan team
went to Bill Jones, pitcher, who al
lowed only four hits for the first
six innings, and averaged two
strike-outs per inning for the en-
tire game. The three Spartan hits,
made in the last inning, were
knocked out by Scroggins, Payne
and Jones. Otherwise, it was a hit
less contest for the Centralites. .
The Spartans had four errors
chalked up against them and the
Bulldogs, one.
Central played nine games dur
ing the season, winning five and
losing four. Another game was lost
to Brawley by default, making the
score five and five for the local
school.
Although Coach w. S. Taylor is
losing some of his best men this
year by graduation, he is already
building for next years team.

.SFRTRARADE
'MS&H
By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 8. - Brace
yourself gentlemen, for I am about
to give off a winner in the fight
between Lou Ambers of Herkimer,
N. Y, and Tony Canzoneri of
Brooklyn, which is scheduled for
Madison Square garden Friday
night.
They are fighting, if the reams
and reams of Brother Francis Al
bertanti's publicity are not up to
some mischief, for the lightweight
championship of the world. AS I
understand it, the guy who does
the best will be named successor TO
Barney Ross, the boy who chucked
the title for more dough, and-in-
cidentally-who could lick both of
'em seven days a week, including
Saturday, when you are supposed
to be in the tub and not in the
ring.
I like Ambers. If he is as good
Vas they say he is, and if Tony The
Can-Can has gone back as far as
they say he has, Ambers should put
Tony away inside of 10 rounds. But
don't feel that. I don't think Am
bers is quite the man he is sup
posed to be, and don't think Can
zoneri has faded that far. My guess
and it's strictly that, just like
Omaha was in the derby-is that
Ambers will win fairly comfort
able decision.
I pick Ambers only because of
one thing. He is young He has
about six years on Canzoneri,
which means he is a little faster,
little stronger, a little tougher.
He can go three minutes every
round. Canzoneri can go "all out"
only for minute of the three.
A few years ago, Tony was the
little bulldog hammered down
Mickey Walker. With the ring of
the bell he'd come out strutting,
sure of himself, tough, and ready
to give and take for three straight
minutes. He's old now, as fighters
go. He's hell for so seconds, but for
those other two minutes he's dodg-
ing around. hoping his legs hold
him up to the finish.
In picking Ambers, I want to as
sure you that if Canzoneri could
shed few years and go in there as
he was at his best, this Ambers
with his monkey business wouldn't
last five rounds. They say he is
fast. But Tony could catch him.
That he has peculiar style. Simi-
lar to Greb's, and throws punches
from every direction. Tony would
solve that. And they say he is hard
to hit. You could bet that the Tony
Can-Can of few years ago would
hit him-very hard and very often.
The Canzoneri / am talking
about is the one who would have
given the Leonards and other good
ones pleasant time of it on the
best day they ever saw.
The Canzoneri I am picking to
lose to Ambers is just a moon
faced, pleasant old gent, who will
be watching the clock two minutes
out of three, wondering if his legs
will hold up, and thinking about
those big easy chairs on his MARI
boro farm.

could be passed by the partner, especially if North had stretched his hand to bid two hearts.
 The Play
 Vests opening lead against the three no trump contract was the three of spades. Declarer car count two clubs. two diamonrs and a spade. To make his con- tract, he needs four heart tricks or three hearts and two spades.
 So the first thing the declarer has to do is to hope that East h Ids the king of hearts. If he does, he must get in dummy twice to take the needed finesse.
 Declarer's first play was the nine of spades from dummy. East naturally played the ace. Would you play the four spot on this trick? If so, you wouldn't make the contract. You must droy your king on East's ace, thereby un- blocking and creating an entry into dummy with the jack of spades.
 This entry. with tho acc of clubs. gives declarer opportunity to ilnesso the heart twice. thus allowing him to make four henrt tricks. This neat unlocking play cf0ated what is termed . hidden entry.
