Impressive

While Kiman Kudo continues to
run up his string of victories over
opponents on the coast. Imperial
Valley mat fans are looking for
ward to the Japanese meeting with
Billy Sledge in the El Centro arena
on Friday night.
Kudo has already VOL two match
eS this week and plans to make
Sledge his third victim in the main
bout Friday. Sledge however, has
ether plans and the Texan is brush
ing up on his drop-kicking so that
he can trim the tricky Oriental.
In another great match scheduled
on the card this week, George Kon-
deliS, a newcomer from Greece, will
take on Everett Ribbons. Kondelis
has not wrestled in the United States
before and will make his start in the
wrestling game in this country in
the City Limits arena.
According to John ContoS. match
maker, the Athenian is one of the
greatest grapplerS to perform in the
valley in years. KondeliS is reputed
to be one of the best in Europe and
may be the next champion of the
world. Contos declared.
Bronco Valdez, great Mexican
grappler. will take on Jerry Mono
han in a rough and tumble match
that should be thriller. Monohan
has been going great guns lately
and always can be counted on to put
up great battle.
Valdez holds wins over nearly ev-
cry important mailman in Califor-
mia and intends to add the Irish
man to his long list of victims.
In a match that may steal the
show, Harry Jacobs, 300 pound vet
eran of mat wars will take on Casey
CClumbo. Jacobs employs every
foul tactic that any grappler ever
innovated and has concocted some
new ones himself to make life mis-
cradle for any opponent that con-
fronts him
Columbo will indubitably be able to
take care of himself in Fridays
match however. and should Jacobs
try any foul play Columbo will prob
ably retaliate with the same meth
odS.

Bench
Warming
BY b. KINNE

Coach Ed Covington's fast step
ping baseball team is again favored
to annex the championship of I'M
perial Valley. With only three let
termen lost from last years club,
Calexico looms as one of the
strongest teams to represent val
ley school in many seasons.
At pitcher Covington has Joe An
drade, the most colorful all around
athlete in Imperial Valley. Andrade
is considered one of the best high
school chuckers in the southland
and should experience little diff
Guilty in completely battling valley
batsmen.
Calexico also has two other
chuckers on the roster, Gamlln and
Yturralde that are capable of turn
ing in first class performances.
At catcher. Covington has a veter-
an of three years, Bruce Ritter.
Ritter is a great backstop and a
strong batter. On first the Bulldogs
have Stinson. He is great defen-
sive man and one of the most de-
pendable sluggerS on the team.
On second base is Mendoza, a
freshman and on shortstop Coving-
ton has another first year man,
Mendez. Both boys show great pos
sibilities and capably fill their pos
itions.
Sanchez will hold down third base
and Samaha, Arce and Yturralde
will patrol the outfield.
Calexico made a fine showing in
the recent American Legion base
ball tournament held in San Diego.
The Bulldogs held San Diego high to
a 81 win in the first round and then
went into the consolation round
which they won easily. In the final
game of the consolation round CAL
exico swamped Fallbrook l7-2.
If any valley high school holds
the CaleXico baSeballerS to less
than 20 runs they will be lucky.
The old saying Go take a flying
leap at your shadow might be ap-
piled to Billy Sledge who will tackle
Kiman Kudo in the main bout Of
the wrestling card Friday Kudo is
noted for his agility, and is one of
the hardest men to hit with fly
ing dropkick in the wrestling game.
Since the flying dropkick is
Sledge's speciality some leaps at his
shadow may teach him way to
kick out a win over Kudo.

CBucky) Harris, boss of the Wash
ington Senators.
We've got nice set of new fell
lows" Harris said today They're
kids that nobody expects too much
of, not even themselves. That's the
way I want it. I'd like to see them
come through and get a few games
under their belts first and then let
them think they're good
The player most watched by the
Washington management is John
Buddy Lewis. a rugged young in
dividual from the mill district near
Gastonia. N. c. He's set to play third
base in an infield which will find
Veteran Joe Kohel at first; Buddy
Myer, leading American League bat
ter of 1885 at second, and Cecil
Travis at short.
The Washington outfield is by no
means final. Al Powell will be at
center and Jess Hill acquired from
the New York Yankees, at left. Right
field is being fought for by the vet
Grams Carl Reynolds and John Stone
The first four shock troopers of
the Senators pitching staff are Jim
Deshong. Ed Linke Earl Whitehill
and Louis CBuck) Newsome.
There are four other pitchers
Henry Coppola and Dick Lanahan

TO PITCH TO
ANY PLAYER

BRADENTON, Fla, March 10.
U.P)-Peace was reported to the
ranks of the St. Louis Cardinals
today when Jerome (Dizzy) Dean,
star pitcher, signed an agreement
to pitch to anybody on the club,
thus ending the verbal duel be-
tween Dean and Catcher Virgil
Davis which has ragged for weeks

president, brought Dean and Da-
Wis together today and both play
ers embraced each other, shook
hands and agreed there was moth
ing to their battle.
Rickey's success in bringing the
two together indicated Dean is
certain to sign soon. He and Dir
zy began a conference somewhere
in Bradenton today, meeting
certain to end with Deans sig
nature on a st. Louis contract
The three conferred secretly
early today somewhere between
Bradenton and Saratoga
Davis, who denied he ever threat
ened Ito punch DizzyS nose when
he steps into tne CluDnOuSe, re-
turned tC Bradenton and told the
United Press about the meeting.
Il never threatened to punch
Dizzy" Davis said. Il have too
much sense to make such an ass
of myself
THE whole thing was nothing
to get mad about. I couldn't get
sore at Dizzy because l think he's
the greatest pitcher in the world
When Dizzy's wife, who has
taken an active interest in his
affairs, learned Of the melting she
was angry because Diz had prom
ised her he would play golf today
The meeting was interpreted as
a peace mCve on the part of Dean

reported sum of $4,000

1t was a pleasure. too. For you
never saw such turf III your life.
1T was so fine, that the fair
ways were better than any green

dind't last long. The Royal gar
deners, Sho had tended the turf
for years, and loved each blade Of
grass as though it were a baby,
became absolutely Mortified when
they saw some of the dub players
dig those big divots dubs always
dig. So, after about a week of
play on the Royal grounds, came
a message that the Kaiser would
not countenance his turf being de-
stroyed. So we had to move back
with the soldiers"

CENTRAL BATTERS
IN PRACTICE

In preparation for the game
against Brawley on Saturday Coach
w. S. Taylor sent his charges
through a stiff batting practice
Tuesday afternoon. Taylor plans to
continue batting practices all week
and try to get the Spartans into
top shape for the battle against the
Wildcats.
BraWley has a strong baseball nine
and is considered the only obstacle
in the path of the defending cham
pions from Calexico.
The Ell Centre game is regarded
lightly in the northern school as the
Wildcats figure Central a cinch.
Brawley is pointing for the game
against the Bulldogs a week from
Saturday.
The Spartans looked pretty lousy
against Imperial last week but the
fact that they are really going to
work to improve their ball club may
find the Central nine on top at the
end of Saturdays game.
LaWlesS and Hall are slated to di-
vide the pitching honors against
Brawley and if the infielders give
their chuckerS some support the
Brawley team may find themselves
blasted out of the pennant race.
Imperial Seconds Win

ond team defeated the Ell Centre
rockies 12-11 Wednesday afternoon.
O'Guin and Sugimoto worked on
the mound for Ell Centro and limited
the Tiger seconds to three bingles
but errors in the infield proved cost
ly.
In the ninth inning Ell Centre
filled the bases but could not bring
home the winning scores.
James Moore led the Central bats

never in doubt.
Orvil Coates started things going
early in the first period when he
slapped a one handed shot into
the hoop from outside the foul
circle. He followed this with an
other score from the same place
which was succeeded by a nice set
up shot by Alex Novak.
The early scoring spree on the
part of the Hardware team seemed
to take the life out of Cox Brothers

Roy Misenheimer played brilliant
basketball in the championship
game and stamped himself as the
outstanding defensive man in the
