ball tournament starting September
IL, are doing more to put Imperial
Valley on the map than even the
most optimistic supporters of the
team hoped. When Noel Smith,
business manager of the team, was
promoting the idea many business
men, including chamber of COM
merce officials, scoffed at the idea.
The persistent business manager,
however, put the idea over and
even those men who opposed the
trip are convinced that the barn
storming All Stars have already
done a great deal to advertise the
valley.
Following is a letter received
from the secretary of the Deming
chamber of commerce.
Your own home boys, the I'M
perial Valley All Stars, played the
Deming All Stars here last night
to big crowd, and gave us very
nice $50 trouncing. However, we
are all tickled to death that it was
Mt worse.
"This section of the country has
never seen such soft ball pitching
as that furnished in last nights
game. I also want to compliment
you on the wonderful bunch of
clean cut young fellows Ell Centro
sent out. They are a real credit
to any community, and will do
much to bring fame and much
fine advertising to your locality.
II personally met all of the boys,
and permit me to say that never
in all my experience have I dealt
with a more manly, congenial, hap
py bunch of men. They are big
asset to any community, and you
should certainly feel proud of them.
knowing that they have a su-
perior team to any in this size
town, they do not try to assume a
superiority complex and lord it over
the other team.
"The boys left this morning, and
right now, I have people dropping
into my office, and complimenting
me on bringing such a sterling
bunch of real players into the COM
munity. They are certainly more
than welcome here for a return
date at any time. Naturally, we
know they'll beat US, but we're
mighty glad they came, and we are
willing to be beaten by those boys
any day in the week.
You people there have always
treated me so fine on every visit
that I wanted you to know that
you not only treat 'em wonderful
in your own home towns, but send
out missionaries in the shape of a
softball team that will make thou
sands of friends for your cities. If
auy of your residents ever travel
east on U. S. 30, be sure and have
them stop in at the office here.
"Complimenting the Imperial
Valley on the high class type of
young men in their team, and sin
cerely hoping they return home
with the National Championship
tucked under their belt, I beg to
remain"
Sincerely,

/ was, what with playing with Bob

you'll be all right"
Here MaIcOlm's excitement i'm
telling of his match with Jones
almost Overcame him. Scotch and
Hungarian cascaded from his lips
as he told me every single stroke
made by Bobby. We were only on
the second hole but he insisted
on cutting across TO the long
seventh and pointing out the ex-
act spot where Jones made, in his
opinion. the finest golf shot of all
time.

Jones, it seems, topped his drive and
it fell in a cluster of rocks and BUSH

IN never forget him walking up
TO it," Malcolm explained. HE
stood looking at the ball moment,
scratching his head and pushing his
cap back and fourth. Then he
pulled brassie out of his bag, took
one more quick look and banged
that bloody ball 225 meters straight
up the hill. I near died. T'here1l

the Cubs defensive deficiency at

From the second inning in which
Travis Jackson, Jim Ripple and

game was all Hubbell's. He struck
cut only three.
Two homers by Phil Cavarretta

sixth inning they held S to 3 lead
