OIL POUR Ed
ON OVAL FOR
RACE EVENTS

Eight thousand gallons of Gil, 90
per cent asphalt. has been poured
on the Imperial Valley Midget race
track, packed down and put in top
shape for Thursday nights races.
The track, now rated as a hard
surface oval, can truly be tabled as
the fastest track in the west. The
asphalt surface will absolutely elm
mate dust and assure spectators OF
the very best in midget racing.
AS an added attraction special
match race has been arranged to be
run off among the winners of the
main events of the last three races.
The contestants will be Hobart
Herrick, Frank Hetzel and Fred
Davis. The race will be called the
Carl Vogt race as Vogt will donate
a cash prize to the winner of the
10-lap event.
The 4O-lap event promises to be
one of the most close contested races
of the year. Every car is capable of
high speed and sturdy enough to
complete the grind without me-
chanical difficulties.
Because the track will be in per-
feet condition the drivers will open
up their cars and provide the fans
plenty of thrills as they speed their
autos around the curves in des-
perate effort to take first honors in
each event.

RAMAGE AGAIN
NEAR TOPS In
HEAVY RANKS

LOS ANGELES, July 8. W,P)-
Handsome Lee Ramage of San Di-
ego, Calf, bounded back into the
heavyweight limelight today on the
strength of a cleancut decision over
King Levinsky, Chicago mackeral
huckster, in a 10-round bout here
last night.
The San Diego heavyweight, who
returned last year when Joe Louis
knocked him out in few rounds,
handed Levinsky one of the worst
beatings he has received in years.
Ramage confounded critics who
had tabled him as a "hit-andrun"
fighter by standing shoulder to
shoulder with Levinsky and getting
the better of the slugging duel.
Levinsky did the backing away this
time.

Pawned Emblems
Lead to Widow
Of Football Star

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 8. UP
The little jeweled emblems that be-
longed to E. H. (Ted) Coy of Yale,
one of footballs immortals. today
led to the discovery that his widow
is now a kitchen domestic who found
food more dear than symbols OF
athletic proWeSS.
The emblems, a gold medallion,
gold football and a skull and bones
badge, were paWned.
They were pawned, along with a
wedding ring set in emeralds, be-
cause, Mrs. Coy said, she had to eat.
Today the jewels were in the
hands of Skull and Bones old and
exclusive Yale society where the
pawnbroker sent them at the re
quest of members.

PULLS RUNOUT
AT B R AWLE

Eight slow and uninteresting
bouts we're run off at the Brawley
Eagles club Tuesday night before
the poorest crowd of the season.
Toby Solorzano failed to show up
for his battle against Larry Led
ford in the main event and the club
officials matched Willie Estrada
against C. Coreno in the main go.
Estrada outclassed Coreno and
coasted to an easy decision in a
slow and poorly fought battle.
Ernie Carter, who is rated as
the best lightweight in the United
States, kayoed G. Sanchez in the
second round of the semi windup.
Carter, a tall Negro throws the
fastest left ever seen in a valley
ring.
He flipped his left all over San
chez face time and time again.
When he finally decided to end the
fight he crossed a right that knock
ed Sanchez flat in 1855 of the second
canto.
Bill White decisioned Sylvester
Lucio in the sixth battle, Vibian-
ciano kayoed L. Jamison in 1:23

fight, and C. Sandoval took every
round of the fourth contest to win
the nod over Ralph Morales.

Jne supremacy OF Cne american
league in the all-star game.
Led by the Cubs and the Cards
the National leaguers conquered
the American league stars yester-
day for the first time in four all
star cCrnbats, to 3.
1t was the most dramatic game
in the all-star series, played be-
fore the smallest crowd ever to
see baseball's carnival of diamond
celebrities Only 25,434 paid to
see the game. Nearly 1900 empty
seats yawned before an estimated
$2,500,000 worth of ball players
performing in a perfect baseball
setting
Three National league pitching
aceS-Carl Hubbell of 1888, Dizzy
Dean of 1884, and Lon Warneke of
1935-roSe from recent world series
triumphs petrify the American
leagues "murderers row." The
sluggers who manufacture death in
Athe afternoon for rival pitchers
lin their own league curled up be-
fore Deans blazing speed, Hub
bells tantalizing screw ball, and
Warneke's battling change of
pace.
\ Sons of Southwest
, Those three, long, gangling sons
of the sCuthWest-Dean, Hubbell,
and Warneke-gaVe the assembled
American league sluggers the
measly total of three hits in eight
and one third innings. That's
National league pitching the all
star game has never seen before.
The Cubs and the Cards ganged
the American leaguers. The Cubs
scored all four of the National
league runs. The Cubs manager,
Charley Grimm, directed the Ma
tional league team. Gabby Hart
nett, the Cubs catcher, worked the
entire game behind the bat, scored
one run and drove in another.
Only four players outside of the
Cubs and Cards played for the Ma
tional leaguers and two of these,
Lew Riggs of Cincinnati and Mel
OFT of the New York Giants, didn't
get into the game until the eighth
inning. The other two players
were Hubbell, who shared in the
brilliant pitching, and Pinkey
Whitney of the Phillies, who play
ed third base most of the game.
.. Di Maggie Tragedy
The National league made quick
raids on Lefty Grove, lanky Boston
Red Sox fireball pitcher and School
Boy Rowe, the No. l moundsman
OF the world champion Tigers.
The game was a minor tragedy
in the budding career of ice Di-
Maggie the Yankees Little Bm-
bino" who has made one of the
greatest starts ever made by a
major league rookie. Everything
Joe did seemed to be wrong. Fate
kept shifting him into the spot
light and he couldn't produce. He
made two costly blunders. He went
hitlesS in five times at bat. He
hit into a double play once, pop
! ped up twice, grounded out once,

TOO MUCH GOLF
RUINS RUNNER,
TRAINER AYERS

PRINCETON, N. j., July 8. WRt--
Matty Gels, Princeton athletic train
er, today furnished the answer to
Bill Bonthron's poor track per-
fOrmances this year.
Bonthron, holder of the worlds
record for 1900 meters, finished
fourth in the event in the national
A.A.U. championships last week.
TOO much golf, that's all" Gels
said. His muscles are too tired.
He was in condition to run the
1900 in 1852 Saturday, and then fin
ished fourth when the winning time
was only 3:54.2.
HE has been playing 40 to so
holes of golf a day, all during the
training season, and that's too much
for any man, let alone one who
aspires to be a runner"

Calexico Flying A virtually
clinched the first half in valley
league play Tuesday night with
20 victory over the Ell Centro
Merchants.
Should the Calexicans lose their
final game to Holtville Friday night
and BraWley should beat Ell Cen
tro the two clubs will be tied for
first honors.
However, we pick the CaleXicans
to trim the Holtville Bakers and
the Ell Centro Merchants to whip
the Brawley nine in the final games
of the half.
Ernie Carter rated as the best
lightweight in the United States
and who defeated Don BenZOr
i'm "a close battle last week, is
scheduled to appear in the valley
ring against BenzOr in a rematch
in the near future.
Carter boasts one of the fast
est lefts ever seen i'm the valley
and literally slaps his opponents
into submission.

Joe Hurst, Ell Centro chucker,
hurled one of the finest games of
the year Tuesday night against
the CaleXico team. 1t was a
heartbreaker to lose, but it DEM
onstrated to other teams in the
league that Ell Centre will be in
the thick of the battle next half.
The fights held in Brawley Tues
day night were the poorest seen
in amateur competition in the val
ley. Every fight was slow-so slow
that the few people that attended
the fights began leaving before
the battles were over.
Nothing destroys interest in a
sport SO quickly as a poor eXhibi-
ton. If the BraWley club wants
to continue to make go of the
amateur fights it must cut out the
many subsitutions on each card
and quit scheduling inferior
matches such as were witnessed
Tuesday night.
With the midget race track COM
pletely rebuilt and surfaced with.
Asphalt, fans can look forward to-
the most exciting races of the year
Thursday night.
The cars will be able to reach
higher speeds and officials of the
association are digging out the
record books to compare Thurs
days times with the best records
made throughout the U. S.

Duke Ellington
At Howard

Duke Ellington - Washington
boy and that incompatible king
of jungle music. opened with his
famous band as the featured spot
on the Howard Theater's show bill
yesterday.
His first appearance here this
season, Ellington, with his dy-
manic personality was given
riotous welcome by the audience
as he stepped out on the stage
to lead his band in it's part of
the bill. Jazz, swing and jungle
tunes, many of them his own COM
positions made up his part of the
entertainment. In a Sentimen,
tai Mood" and Harlem Echoes
were among the tunes very well
received.
Ivy Anderson, songbird with
the orchestra was given big
hand for Love Is the Strangest
Thing" All in all, Ellington proved
to the home folks that his band
is still among the famous.

Rood to Glory
At Columbia

Road to Glory" a grim recital
of wars awful tragedy, returned
for a weeks engagement at Loew's
Columbia Theater. Gripping, hor-
rible, few pictures of the World
War have been more graphic or
more terrible in portraying the
starkneSS of battle. Almost en-
tirely devoid of any lighter Sc
quences, this is study of the re-
actions of men under great stress.
Superb acting is essential to a
film of this type and Warner Bax-
ter, Frederic March, Lionel Bar
rymore, and Gregory Ratoff, aided
by a cast of excellent players,
makes this pulSing and vital pro-
duction. June Lang lends the only
feminine personality as a nurse,
the idol of Captain Paul (BaXter)
and the betrothed of his lieuten.
ant (March).
Lionel Barrymore is Private Mo-
ran, in reality the Captains father.
Truly it might be said that no one
except this eminent actor the
greatest Barrymore, could attempt
a role such as this and make it a
gem.
A short comedy built about that
popular song, Music Goes Round
and Round" is mildly interesting
and with a Terrytoon and Hearst
Metrotone News rounds out the
program. H. K.

OLD HUTCH AT CAPITOL
"ZiegfeId" on
Final Week
At Palace

THE Great Ziegfeld," a picture
which glorifies a master Snowman,
continues at Loew's Palace for a
second week.
This huge production, running
full length to capacity houses, not
only gives insight to the gorgeous
girl-shows of the late Florenz Zieg-
field, but is a fine tribute to the
man who struck a new note in
show business.
The story starts with the Chi
cago Fair of 40 odd years ago
when Ziegfeld was promoting
Sandow, the Strong Man. There
wasn't much money in this but
our friend had ideas and was able
to garner enough to make a start
in New York. On talent scouting
trip to Europe, he signed the
the lovely, vivacious Anna Held;
the romance of these two is the
atrical history.
On another trip, this time to the
burlesque houses, he saw and
recognized the comedy talents Of
Fanny Brice. Then followed the
sensational Follies; glittering spec
tacleS, exquisitely beautiful girls,
fascinating tunes which have lived
through the years. Ziegfeld the
star.maker! Fanny Brice was only
one who found fame and fortune
under the hand of ziegfeld.
Ambitious productions such as
THE Three Musketeers, Rio
Rita" and "Whoopee" in which
Ziegfeld attained his dream and
made good his boast of having
four productions running cur
rently on Broadway, made head
liners of such persons as Dennis
King, the exquisite Harriet Hoe
tor, j. Harold Murray and Eddie
Cantor. Ziegfeld's marriage to
Billie Burke, the birth Of his
daughter. Patricia, his financial
losses, are dramatically pictured
in this screen play.
William Powell, Myrna 10y,
Luise Rainier, Frank Morgan,
Virginia Bruce, Reginald Owen,
Ernest CosSart and Nat Pendleton
handle their roles in mastery
fashion.
You'll like this show! 1t has
beauty, action, comedy, drama,
music and some very fine acting.
Because of the length of the fea-
ture, only a Hearst Metrotone
neWSreel is added.-K. Y.

Guild Offers
A New Play

The Theater Guild, with pleas
ant memories of five brilliant
successes last season: THE Tam
ing of the Shrew" and idiots
Delight" with Lunt and Fontaine;
End of Summer" with Ina
Claire; Call It a Day" with
Cooper md Merivale, and "Porgy
and Bess," is inaugurating the
new subscription season with a
sparkling and sophisticated com
edy by Julius j. and Philip G..
Epstein And Stars Remain, "'
with Clifton Webb and Helen Ga
hagan.
This will be the second play of
the legitimate season at the Ma
tional Theater, on Monday night,
october 5. Besides Mr.. Webb and
Miss Gahagan the cast is of the
usual Theater Guild brilliancy, in
Guiding as it does such gifted
players as Claudia Morgan,
Charles Richman, Ben Smith,
Mary Sargent, Suzanne Jackson
Richard Barbee and Edgar Kent
While And Stars Remain" is a
bright, gay and sparkling comedy,
it has also an underlying theme
of serious drama, dealing as it
does with the ever-growing clash
between liberals and conservatives,
some of whom are ultra in their
convictions. The play is of most
timely interest for two of the
scenes take place in the midst of
heated political campaign. Still
this is in essence a comedy for it
is replete with many scenes of de.
lightful light comedy. This ad.
mixture of comedy and drama
makes for realism and naturalism
To state that the stage direction
is in the hands of Philip Moeller,
means much to the theater lover,
for he has an unequalled record
of outstanding successes in the
theater.
