SOUGHT IN

head of the famed "G-Men," for
assistance in the fiendish Mary
Stammer murder mystery was

A copy of an all-important fin
eerprint, found on Q broken back
door glass shortly after the fiend
entered the 5tammer home and
disrobed his wounded 14-year-old
victim was sent via air mail to
Washington, D. c.
"I have asked Hoover to send a
COPY Of this fingerprint in his

tigation bulletin to every police
chief in the nation" Moore said.
Authorities are convinced the
crime was committed by q mature
person and have eliminated all
youths in their early teens from

JAYCEE NET
TEAM LOSES
To SAN DIEGO

Netsters from San Diego State
college invaded the valley last night
to snatch a victory from the Cen
tral Jayeee tennis squad in a series
Of eight hard-fought matches.
The coast players took three
singles and tvs Soubles matches.
The last match of the day, which
would have swung the victory into
/ ICenuals lap, was a noJly-contested
affair running to three sets
With the sets even up. the local
players were on the verge Of win
ming the third set when they blew
up, and Kellogg and Alec added the
final victory to san DiegoS list
defeating Walker and Mayfield 3-6.
6-S. 1913.
Probably the best playing OF the
evening was seen in the first singles
in which Brownstein tSD) won from
Holiday, 81. 60. Holiday put up
q good fight in the first round, but
the San Diego player proved to
have more staying power than the
.Centralite.
Bugg and Brock were also out
standing in doubles play, being
about the strongest team to appear
in the valley this season. They
took the first doubles match aom
Xinne and Holiday, 60, 6-2.
Other results in the singles:
Kinne Geo def. Wakefield (SD)
6-1. 60: Saario Geo def. Shaler
(SD) 6-3, 4-6, 6-3; Loris SD def.
Wiggington Geo 6-2, 6-4; Fox
(SD) def. Mayfield CEC) 6-3, 3-6,
Ga
Wiggington and Saario won one
doubles match for El Centre, defeat
ing Brink and Barth 6-2, 6-1. The
tourney was scored on a system of
points, one each being allowed for
singles and two for doubles
The Jaycee will play a return
match with San Diego in the coast
city on May II. They are also
scheduled to meet Brawley Junior
college next Monday.

WIND HALTS
TEAM WORK

Yesterdays strong wind played
havoc with the baseball workout
Coach W. S. Taylor had planned
for his Spartan crew on the high
school diamond, stirring up dust
and making things otherwise un-
comfortable for the balltossers until
they were driven into the GYM
nasium, where a short soft ball prac-
tice was held,
The Spartans are scheduled to
meet Imperial here some time this
week, a definite date not having
been decided. The junior college
has a game with the same school
this afternoon, and will probably
play the Spartans in practice con-
test tomorrow.
Taylor's men are not particularly
worried about the Imperial meet,
having won their first game with
this outfit fairly easily.

NEW YORK, April 16-America's
greatest professional sport moved
off to a promising start today
when the 16 teams of the major
league baseball circuits We're sched-
uled to begin what may be two of
the closest pennant races in recent
years.
Today's big baseball capitals were
Washington and Boston-Washing-
ton where President Roosevelt's APP
pearance will make an otherwise
routine Senator's Athletics contest
into the game of the day, and Bos-
ton where Ruth, transferred from
the American to the National
league, may give some line on what
his presence may mean 10 the
Braves.
Baseball experts already have
decided that the National league
race will be fought out by the
world champion st. Louis Cardin-
ais and the New York Giants with
Chicagos Cubs and the Pirates of
Pittsburgh furnishing major op-
position.
While the fans were waiting for
the President and for mayors to
comply with an ancient custom Of
throwing out the first bail they
settled down to debate some prob
lens which won't be determined
for many weeks. Some of them:
/. The help df any Babe Ruth
will give the Braves, and whether
the Yanks were smart in letting
him go.
