Central Nine To
Battle BraWley
Next Saturday

With three more games left on
the program, Coach w. S. Taylor's
Spartan baseball squad yesterday
began preparations for their forth
coming contest with Brawley to be
played there next Saturday.
AS the season draws to a close,
the good results of many workouts
together begins to become appar-
ent with a consequent improve
ment in teamwork noticeable. The
Spartans, in their last game, put
out some of the hest field work of
the season, department in which
they we're exceedingly weak not SO
long ago. Much practice in batting.
with a more intelligent approach
substituted for the wild swatting
of the early part of the season,
have brought a higher percentage
of hits, also, Of late.
Yesterday afternoon, Taylor and
his men talked over the mistakes
made in their most recent appear
ance, with the laudable intention
of eliminating similar moners in

sion stressing hitting finished the

wrong. All horses can't run very
fast. Some can't run at all. Take
Roselli, my choice in the first race,
for example. Roselli, whose par
ents were a Mr.. Traumer and a
Mrs. Hussy, made it plain that he
was not Of the athletic sort, but
was meant for books and quiet
meditation, the second the man
who starts races let the field out
of the little green boxes on the
other side of the track. And the
jockey, who kept hitting Roselli
with a stick, only made matters
worse, for every time he whammed
down. Roselli would stop to turn
and look around with 'what-the-
hell-is-g going -on-here" expression.
Trupenny was my selection in
the second. 1 picked him for his
looks. In his way he is pretteir
than Clark Gable. Parading down
the track he looked like something
an artist had painted. And when
the wire went up he still looked
that way.
Science FlopS
When it came time to pick the
third I made up my mind to make
my choice on pure science. I got
one of those charts that track the
entries right back to Ben Hur's
time and went to work. finally
decided on Galanthus, because he
came from such sound stock. Ac-
cording to the chart, bigamy was
the only crime in his family.
Unfortunately, Galanthus proved
to be a black sheep. He was the
last to get off and throughout the
six furlongs he improved his grip
on last position with amazing res
oluteness. In the fourth I like
Allen z. He was happily named.
He started A and finished 2. Tt
was Sentry in the sixth, and Sem
try stood guard throughout.
At the risk of sounding bitter,
I'd like to say a word about a
racetrack; the crowd that was at
Jamaica yesterday. I suppose it
was a normal one. If it was, then
we'd better stop fretting about the
of the breed of horses
and begin worrying about the men
who follow them. They were
tough, they we're sad, they were
shabby. they were flashy, they were
worried.
There's no other crowd like a
race track crowd There's happi-
ness and laughter in football, base
ball, hockey, tennis. polo, and all
the other crowds you can name.
But race track crowd is grim
with a grimness that depresses, sad
with a sadness that tells of de-
spair. Why? 1 don't know, but
my guess would be that it's because
racing is not sport, but a dirty
business.

To tell you the truth I had al

some reason, I had an idea all

SILVER PRICE
MAY INCREASE

WASHINGTON, April %. U.P)-
Another increase in the treasury
price for domestic newly mined sill
yer appeared imminent today when
the price of silver rose above 70
cents per ounce in the world mar
kets.
The treasury on April 10, raised
its price for domestic newly mined
silver to Till cents per ounce from
6464 cents per ounce. The world
price of the metal at that time was
64 cents.
The treasury has found it i'm
practical merely TO pay the world
price of silver for domestic metal
and has preferred to set a premium
above the world figure.
On this basis, it was understood,
the treasury would increase its
price for domestic newly mined sill
yer TO somewhere between IS and
30 cents per ounce, should the price
of the world metal exceed the pres
ent treasury quotation.

INVASION Of
MOTH WORMS
At COACHELLA

RIVERSIDE, Calf, April %. (U.P)
An invasion of millions of three
inch moth worms which have in
tested Coachella valley farm lands
for more than week, was being
repelled today.
Deep burrows were being plowed
around fields as emplacements to
turn the ravaging insects from in
Testing growing crops. Ranchers
were augmented by SERA crews in
the battle against the insect plague.
The worms, which measure three
inches long and three eights of an
inch thick, had spread across a
wide section of the valley. The in
vasion was reported at PalB
Springs, Garnet, Edom, Oasis, Mee-
ca and west of 1ndio.
Reports to Alex P. Hansen, chief
deputy county agricultural COM
missioner, indicated the combative
measures were being successful.
The burrows were lined with holes
in which the invaders were being
trapped and destroyed.
The worms, which Swarmed into
the valley from the hill lands, are
the larva of the white-line sphinx
moth and of the common army
moth. Their extreme length per-
mits them to travel surprising dis
tances in single day, the commits
sioner' office was informed. Gil
matte conditions were blamed for
the invasion.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press


The Seattle and the Portland
clubs were at home today for the
formal openings of the baseball
season in the northwest after three
weeks of fairly successful iousting
on California diamonds.
While neither team won a ma
jority of its games on the long
road trip, the clubs showed suffi-
cient power to be rated as likely
contenders. With the advantage OF
playing on their home lots, they
may change the course of the Coast
league pennant race during the
next few weeks.
Seattle especially is expected to
be formidable in its own park. The
Seattle batsmen specialize on long
high flier, which fielderS pocket in
large parks but which often go for
homers on the Indians field.
The Indians, who meet the fifth
place Sacramento Senators today
won four and lost nine on the
road. Their record would have been
better had they not run afoul OF
Oakland at time when the Oaks
were on a rampage. They lost four
straight to the league leaders.
Portland, with record OF six
wins and nine defeats, is tied with
Sacramento. The Beavers meet
Oakland and the ensuing series be-
tween the two teams with fence
busting batsmen should be inter-
esting. The Oaks, however, appear
to have the steadier pitchers. They
took a record of nine straight wins
into today's combat.
Back in California the San Fran
cisco Seals fourth place array
made their first visit to Los Ange-
les to meet the 1884 champions
now resting in second place. In
San Francisco in a night game, the
Mission Reds, who have lost their
last 13 games, will meet Hollywood
third in the league to date.
No games were played Monday
as the teams were travelling. The
series started today will continue
through Thursday, when the teams
again move around under the split
week schedule.

INTEREST Of
FANS AROUSED
BY WRESTLING

War on the El Centre wrestling
front, dormant for several years,
flares up again Friday at the City
Limits Arena with an all-star card,
featuring Man Mountain" Dean as
John Contos' opening gun in his
campaign to restore the profession
al mat game to popularity here.
While many of the fans will be
on hand to see the Man Noun
tain" in his first appearance here,
others will throng the arena for
the FL Centre debut of Vincente
Lopez, the Mexican wrestling ace
who made a monkey out of Dean
only last week in Los Angeles.
The bearded Georgia hill-billy is
one of the most colorful wrestlers
and has earned reams of publicity
by his work in the past few years.
He hit the spotlight at the Madison
Square Garden in New York sew
eral years ago and has since held
front rank among the country's
grapplers.
Dean will need all his publicized
strength and -generalShip to
toss Matros Kirilenko, his Open
ent Friday night. Kirilenko is in
this country as RuSsia's represen-
tative in the international wrest-
ling tournament now being con-
Quoted in Los Angeles and has
been in the limelight in the Euro
pean wrestling rings for number
of years. He is seeking his fortune
and fame-in this country after
a sensational career throughout
Europe.
Vincente Lopez, the Mexican,
tackles a difficult foe in Pat Fra
ley, the Free State Irishman. Lo-
PEI is on his way up the mat lad
der and has much at stake in this
bout. He is angling for bout with
Jim Londos, the worlds champion,
and a setback would mean being
relegated to the preliminary ranks
The other feature bout on the
program will be the match between
Jua nHumberto and Al Tafrof. The
former has been going like prairie
fire since his invasion of the west
coast and this battle should be one
of the fastest of the night, as both
boys are anxious to scale the grap-
pling heights.
An added attraction is the pro-
motors invitation to the ladies, ad-
miting them free-except for tax
to the unreserved general admis-
sion seats, provided they are ac-
companied by an escort.
