up and resume the revelries he left
of in Exeter these centuries ago"
We were insistent about the white
witch, and finally. after a conference
of the city council, we were referred
to Jan Stewer. Jan Stewer, in case
your knowledge of modern literary
England Is as scanty as ours, Is the
pen name Of A. j. Coles, a playwright
who is q master Of the Devon dialect
and an authority on such things as
white witches. Leaving the Of1cial
Information Bureau to the scenes
and pots of steaming hot tea that
had just been brought in, we ven-
tured forth again.
More Difficulties.
Mr.. Coles was most courteous as we
explained our mission. There was
something in the int0nations Of his
voice, however, that presaged more
difficulty. Then We learned why.
"The white WITCH" said Mr.. Coles,
"died not long ago."
We felt a sudden depression.
But will there be q new one?" we
asked desperately.
II don't think So" About then
We had the uncomfortable impression
that if We were Mr.. Coles We would
be laughing at us. He, however, was
most sympathetic. You see, there
is really no need for one. For q long
time now his incantations were only
ritual. Only few very ignorant
people actually believed he was magic.
His cures were just colorfui ceremon-
les, maintained by tradition long after
they had lost their original mystical
meaning. In America, / believe, you
throw rice on a bride. That, too, il
an ancient custom, retained because
1t is amusing. But centuries ago
when it began, people believed that
rice, a symbol Of fertility, would have
the magical effect of bringing the
bride many fine children"
We said nothing. OF course, We

should have known the only remaining
witchcraft would be In darkest Az
rica. But there are so many strange
things in foreign country that you
are ready to believe anything that
is told you. That Is why 1t Is well to
know what you are about II you wan
der on the beaten path OF tourists.
Even on them. however, there are
strange tales on the lips of your guide.
As these things went through our
mind Mr. Coles must have suspected,
for he was kindly. He saved our
face"
1T is true. however" he said, "that
some Devonshire farmers have writ
ten to a Mr.. Paynter in Plymouth
asking him to cure their ailing cattle
or Danish some evil eye. You see,
they have heard him make talks on
the wireless about the white witch,

still in the profession kept increasing.
Finally we ended up at the Official
Information Bureau of the Exeter
City Council. 1t looked like any
American chamber Of commerce, and,
asking after the white witch, we felt
as sheepish as If we were asking for a
suit of armOr at an F. street tailoring
establishment.
The man with the high collar be-

ing English custom Of politeness, how

One of the greatest softball games
ever witnessed in Imperial Valley
was played on the Calexico diamond
Tuesday night when CaleXico and
Ell Centro battled 19 innings before
the harder city nine managed to
exc out a 81 victory.
Homer Chambers, strikeout king
of the valley, pitched a beautiful
game for Ell Centro allowing only
1our hits over the entire distance
and whiting IS batters.
Inning after inning the Calexico
batters strode to the plate, each man
hopeful of breaking the spell, but
each slugger took three swings or
popped up.
Finally in the seventh Holcomb
broke the ice with a sizzling two
Dagger into right center field the
first hit off Chambers, to score
Hashem who got on base on Ted
Ehmkes error.
In spite of the lapse of support
Homer bore down and baffled the
Calexico batters until Flores parked
a four base blow deep in left field
to break up the ball game in the
eighteenth.
FL Centro kept pecking away at
Kelly's offerings and managed to
chalk up eight hits. but poor base
running and alert play on the part
Of the Calexicans deprived the Ell
Centrans of any scores until the
ninth inning.
It was Chambers who started the
rally in the ninth. He slapped a

single past second and then scored
a moment later on a fielders choice.
Ed Kelly stamped himself as the
outstanding ball player in the league
with his stellar pitching perform
ance and alert play in Tuesday
nights game.
Kelly's quick thinking saved the
game for the Calexicans several
times. In the ninth inning with
the bases full and two men out,
Hurst hit a hard roller to Kelly. He
fumbled the ball a moment and
started to throw to home but saw
that the runner was certain to score.
He turned and threw to first to
catch Hurst for the final out of the
inning. Had he lost his head and
thrown home the bases would still
have been full, and a walk, an er-
ror, or a hit would have won the
ball game.
Then in the seventeeth canto
Kelly's alertness again saved the
ball game for the border city.
The first Ell Centro batter reached
first on an error, and went to sec,
ord on a passed ball. Stewart then
hit a roller to Kelly. Ed faxed a
throw to first, whirled and caught
the runner on second. off base.
The next two batters hit singles
but no scores were made and Kelly
settled down to whiff the next two
batters TO end the inning.
Tuesday nights game will go
down in the record books as the
greatest game played on a valley
diamond.
