Winter book operators cleaned
up when Brevity was nosed out. 1t
was a rich haul for the future book
gamblers. First, Hollywood was
withdrawn and all coin bet on that
horse went into their pockets. The
future book play was chiefly on
Brevity and Hollywood.
TINE reason the Derby is run as
Il the sixth race on the days
program Is explained by the bet
ting. A late start gives the track
owners more time to separate the
customers from their money. If
the fans have any coin left by that
time they can still lose 1t on the
seventh and eighth races.
Brevity caught and passed Bold
Venture a couple of jumps beyond
the finish line, but there is no pay
off. for extra innings in horse rae

L. ners in advance, get in touch
with H. Bason, at Radio Station

readers to pick the Derby And out
of a flock of selections received, H.
Bason was the lone "handicapper"
to name Bold Venture as the win
ner. His second choice was Grand
Slam and Brevity third
Others had Brevity and Indian
Broom in their finishing positions,
but chose other horses to land in

Venture to place or show. But Mr..
Harry BaSon, the well-known ticker
of the worries, topped the field.

Joe Garcia, a well drilled San Di-
ego lightweight who has been de-
feated only once in more than a
year, will take on the Willard Big
Boy" Hogue in the main event at
the El Centro Athletic club Friday
day night.
Big Boy Hogue has been angling
for return match with the San
Diego battler, for Garcia is the only
fighter who holds a victory over
Willard, and Big Boy is out to Grace
the defeat.
Garcia, however, is more eXper-
fenced and far tougher than he was
when he met Hogue several weeks
ago. On the other hand Hogue has
not been in the ring for more than
three weeks due to a back injury
and Hogue supporters fear Willard
will not be able to absorb the pun
ishment he soaked up the first time
he met the San Diego champion.

Young Set
For Midget
Race VIM

Still Growing over the fact he won
first place in the main event at
Phoenix Sunday, Hardin Young to-
day began a complete checkup of
his tiny speedster in preparation for
Thursday nights races at the El
Centre speedway.
Young drove a steady but un-
eventful race to win at the Arizona
track and is confident he can re-
peat the procedure on the El Gen.
tro track.
Other Imperial Valley drivers
didn't seem to agree with the Braw-
ley speedster Monday ana some of
the El Centro boys voiced a predic-
ton or two of their own.
When interviewed by special re-
porter ER-3 Fred Davis modeStly
picked his number 5 car as the WIN
ner of the main event. 7 have my
auto in perfect shape for the grind"
Davis said, "and unless Young puts
an airplane motor in that snail pace
motcrboat Of his I'll lap him doz-
en- times"
Somewhat overcome by the mod
est prediction Of the usually conf
dent Davis operator ER-3 breezed
over to Ward Swarthout's midget
race station to ask Ward a few ques-
tions about the race.
Swarthout, busy pounding away
at his Blue Streak, failed to pay any
attention to the reporter until he
heard ER-3 mention Hardin Young.
Swarthout leaped to his feet ges-
ticulating wildly and shouted at the
top of his lungs, IF I don't beat
that guy Thursday I'll give up rae
ing" His mechanics, however,
blasted his story about giving up
the game when they told the special
reporter that Ward had made the
same threat every week since the
opening of the El Centro speedway.

Knuckle Dali.
All three of the Giants pitchers
have deliveries the Yanks don't see
in the American League. In a four
out OF seven game series that trio
might silence the YankS' Big Ber-
thas long enough for the underdog
Giants to creep through to victory
before the American League mar
auoers get the range.
The Giants have the games great
est pitcher on their side in Hubbell
He has run up l6 straight victories
in compiling record of % triumphs
against defeats. He is counted on
for two victories. That means if
Hubbell wins twice. the Yanks must
capture four Of the other five games
to take the title That's a difficult
assignment.
But many students of the game
believe Hubbell, for all his greatness
won't be able to smother the Yanks
more than once-that the Yanks
will get wise to his screwball in the
first game, and hit hin enough to
win the second time he faxes them.
Fitzsimmons and Schumacher
have had only fair success in their
own league this year, but National
League partisans believe they will
be more effective the first time they
face the Yanks because of their un-
usual deliveries, foreign to anything
in the American League.
The Yanks' three top pitchers are
Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez and
Monte Pearsonj Manager Joe Nc
Carthy's decision on his opening
pitcher may have a big effect on
the outcome of the series. He may
start his No. l man. Ruffing, or he
may gamble with Gomez, who is

figured on to start the third game.
has back ailment which has faileQ
to respond to treatment and he may
be out of the series. If Pearson is
out, Pat Malone or Johnny Broaca
will step up as a starter.
Any discussion of world series
pitching comes right back to Hub
bell. He holds the key to the SER
les. If he should lose the first
game, the Yanks might sweep
through to four straight, betting the
Giants pitching from pillar to post.
This writer believes Hubbel will
stop them in the first game. and
the Yanks will win the next four in
a row, beating Hubbell the second
time out.

Negro amateurs, Ely Flowers and
Herman Graves. will head an all
star card at the Brawley Eagles
arena tonight when they meet two
Of Los Angeles favorite sluggers.
Hugh Glass and Ernie Pollock.
Flowers will find Glass one of the
toughest men he has met and will
have to put on his best form to take
a victory over the Los Angeles fight
er. Glass has kayoed his last six op-
ponents and is determined to add
the Brawley Negro heavy to his hs5

Ernie Pollock, of The Main Street

Matchmaker Al Finkbeiner an

matched with this year.
Graves, who can always be count
ed on to he in perfect physical con-
dition, is reaGg for the battle and is
anxious to ko. the Los Angeles
fighter to convince even the Braw-
ley fans that ne is the outstanding
fighter in the valley.
Sylvester Lucio, rated as an out

lightweight title. will meet another
Los Angeles fighter. Ray Gray, in
the sixth fight.
LuciC is a fast-moving fighter who
packs a kayo Wallop in either hand.
His recent victories over Bill White
