Midget race officials anticipate

in record time.
Six cars were punched as the
drivers rounded the final turn, each

his position. Fans were standing

one-legged guy named Bill Terry
up there to take his cut.
He drove in the winning run in
the 10th inning yesterday, just
at a time when it looked like
the Yankees were going to sweep
on to their fourth straight victory
If you go near the Giants dress
ing room, big Bill is liable to
snap your head off, and the boys
who make a living writing about
baseball say he is the most un-
popular manager in the big
leagues. Maybe SO, and maybe
not, but when the count gets to
three and two-a5 it did today
and the ball is on the fire, it
must be pleasant for the Giant
rooters to see the big guy with the
three on his back and ice water
in his veins up there waiting for
the sweet one to come through
waist high.
Big Bill was as nervous as a
lazy dog in the sun as he waited
there for Pat Malone to pitch
TO him. Joe Moore was on third
base with the run that won the
ball game. Malone hitched up mis-
pants and went to work on Ter
ry. The first one was a foul
over the grandstand. So was 'the
second one. The third one was
a ball. So was the next one,
Then there rolled in a pitch that
could have been anything. From
the grandstand it looked like it
nicked the corner of the plate,
but Terry has been watching base
balls come sailing up for 18 years.
He never took his bat off his
shoulder.
The Yankee infield was a-jitter.
Urnpires shuffled the dust. The
one calm man in the ball park was

Bill Terry. Malone wound up and
let go fast ball. Terry reached
for it with that lazy, unhurried
3wing Of his and it shot toward
center field. Joe Dimaggio loped
over and took it, and as soon
as the ball hit his glove, Joe
Moore raced for homo with the
winning run
That's only half Of the story
about Big Bill and his icy nerve
He has no more business being
out on ball field than the Venus
eli Milo, who as you will recall
has no arms. Bills arms are ali
right, but his left leg is swollen
up like a honey-dew melon at
the knee joint. He can't slide.
1t hurts him to run, and he ought
to be strapped up in a plaster
cast before his torn cartilage
breaks loose and cripples him for
life.

Ray Rogers
Bill YOUNG
To TangIe

Ray Rogers, Holtville heavy
weight, and Bill Young of the U.
S. Navy will tangle in the opener
of what promises to be the finest
amateur fight card of the year at
the El Centro Athletic club Friday
night.
Both battlers are capable of
throwing knockout punches with
either glove and can be counted on
to mix it from the opening bell.
Rogers. undefeated in the valley
arenas, is pointing for match with
Ely Flowers, sensational BraWley
Negro The Holtville heavyweight
challenged Flowers three weeks ago
but Ely refused to accept the chal-
lenge.
Rogers is determined 10 make an '
impressive showing in his battle
against Young in order to force
the BraWley Negro to enter the
ring to defend his claim to heavy
weight honors in the valley.
Herman Bomber" Graves, the
boy with an iron jaw and wicked
punch, will meet another Navy
champion in the main event. Graves
has already knocked over couple
of navy champs and intends to add
Ralph Cronin to his list of kayo
victims.
Joe Villegas, hard hitting FL
Centro lightweight, will meet JIM
my Lyons, San Diego Exposition
champion. Lyons, though he does
not pack a punch that will equal
Villegas right hook, is great de-
fensive fighter and may be able
to ward off Joe's favorite right
hand blasts.

FL Centre high school, by virtue
Of its 60 victory over La Jolla last
Friday night became a favorite TO
cop the championship Of the val
ley for 1886.
The line. the heaviest in the
valley, demonstrated its power on
several occasi ions by opening huge
holes in the La Jolla line. However.
the play of the Spartan forward
wall was sloppy at times. lacking
punch and coordination. While the
lapses on the part Of the line did
not cause the loss OF the ball game
against La Jolla. such lapses NAV
prove disastrous against the alert
Calexico and Brawley SQUADS.
Coach w. s. Taylor, who had no
experienced backfield candidates
from last years team, has eroomed
a fine scoring machine. The El
Centro backfield boasts, speed.
power and deception and may turn
out to be as strong as that Of Cal
exico.
Juan Kirkpatricl showed up well
in the La Jolla game. He broke
away for several substantial gains
and followed his interference nicely.
His punting vas good but his pass
es lacked accuracy and power. With
another two weeks Of practice,
however, Kirkpatrick may develop
into competent passer and one of
the few triple threat men to grace
a Spartan backfield N recent years.

pcnents he should be given a

No one was outstanding for the

Blocking was so poor on the part
of the J. c. backs and linemen that
the only play that netted the Arabs
more than 10 yards was McLaugh-

Mclaughlin tried a quick kick

WORKERS REALLY
 GET BIG SHARE
Executives in Recent Sur. vey Shown Getting
 Small Percentage

Happenings that affect the din- Yer pails, dividend checks and tax bills of every individual. National and International problems insep- arable from local welfare.
 A commonly heard complaint against American industry is that too little of the total payroll goes to workers and employees in the low and mlddle.pay brackets, that too much goes to officers and other highly.paid executives,
 But, according to Q recent Sur- vey in the United States News, tho executive gets Q very small part of the nations wage payments- tho workers Q very large part.
 The News provides exact figures for two years, ieS4 end 1885. Tn the former year, industry and business paid out S2b, ,220, ,000, 900 In wages to persons in low and moderate income brackets. It paid e7so,o 00,O00 In sale aries to executives, Thus, the work CTS got 07 per cent of the total and tho executives per cent.
 The relationship between wages and salaries was practically iden- tioAl in the following year. Work CTS got e27,664, ,0oo, ,000-eXecutiVes seeB, 100000.
 The News bases It's figures large. ly on Q comprehensive survey made by the National Association of Manufacturers, and on another sur- vey by the Department of Com- Tnerce. According to the former survey, executive salaries, including oil bonuses, amounted to 0-i0 of one per cent of industry And business sales, and average i3 cents on each share of common stock outstanding. This survey sAid further that 0x- ecutlve salaries and bonuses dwindle into inSignifieanoe when compared with taxes paid by industry. Where executives got 3 per cent of the total payroll, total tax lovioS on industry equalled 34 per cent of oil tho money paid for labor and manage II1ent.
 It is an interesting fact, produced by other surveys, that tho exeou- tiveB' share of the payroll lessens on Q percentage basis in depressed times, rises in good times. When business goes downhill, executive pay Is almost invariably heavily slashed, and many minor executives are laid off.
 To carry the breakdown of pay roll farther, out of money paid to workers, b7 per cent goes to hourly and piec.work employees. The bal. ance goes to salaried workers clerks, Saiesmen, Stenographers, etc.
 Thus, 1t becomes apparent that If industry were able to hire It's eX- ecutives for nothing ct all, the re- sulting saving would allow only on extremely small increase in the pay of the workers.
