Annex Entry
Like Real
Champs
BY GINO SINH

That old adage that two heads
are better than one also applies
to two bowlerS, though, like the
heads, the maple-Spillers must
have a bit Of talent.
The sixth annual Washington
Times Atlantic Coast Doubles has
a surprise entry that proves this
point.
The seasons sensations, Louie
Ruche and his partner, Henry
Penfold, who, while not a star, has
been walloping duckpins success
fully for years, Saturday night
staged as pretty a piece of click
ing" at the New Recreation Al
leys as has ever been witnessed
on bowling alleys, to win them
selves a free entry in the doubles
classic.
This pair, unheralded and de-
cidedly underdogs with such tan
demS as Joe Harrison and Ed
Blakeney and Howard Parsons
and Hokie Smith in the running,
smacked out TAI set to tie Irwin
Simon and Perce Elicit, another
"dark-horse" entry, and then beat
them out for the free entry in a
roll-off.
Ruche and Penfold bowled like
real "blue-bloods" of the drives,
chalking up vital marks in the
final frames to catapult mediocre
games into winners.
With victory in their grasp,
Elicit faltered in the stretch and,
though Simon shot a nifty 394
high for the preliminary, this un-
fortunate pair watched someone
else cop the coveted prize.
Paul James and Irish Murphy
also had the satisfaction Of
placing ahead Of stellar combina-
ton, finishing third with 1856,
Murphy banging out q 800 set.
Murphy had high game, $50.

Griffith Without
Date To Seek
Hems|ey
By LAWTON CARVER

NEW YOIh, DeC. 1.-r1rSG 1alnL
zephyrs Of the baseball trade winds
which blew through Montreal last
week began to be felt in New York
today as the congregation gathered
for the major leagues meetings
opening tomorrow.
CLARK Griffith, Washington
president, said he'd like to get
Catcher Dollie Hemsley, of the
Browns, or any other firSt-string
receiver. However, Griff had no
appointment to talk trade or sale
with Rogers Hornsby, with regard
to Hemsley.
Always optimistic in matters Of
this kind, the rumorists have rigged
up a half dozen good deals for an
nouncement here, with old "Diz"
still the center of interest. Aside
from that, events bearing on the
lives of two other baseball per
sonages are likely to share in
dominating the situation.
OCaA OASCuSSlOH k1Ob
All of the conjecture fomented
over Dean at Montreal has been
brought here as part of the gen.
eral hangover, along with Babe
Ruth's deferred decision on an
offer to become manager of the
Albany, international League club,
and possible settlement of the Bob
Feller case.
According to some observers, the
Cardinals are going to have to get
rid of their great and loquacious
highlander in self-defense, If
they haven't already done so.
Dizzy hasn't made any long-diS-
tance broadcaStS from Florida
lately but he has heard plenty,
including that tn Cardinals
turned down a 100000 offer for
him by the Cincinnati Reds.
Typical Ammunition
That is the best ammunition he
has had yet for his annual spring
holdout battle. The Cards already
have Lon Warneke, the ex-Cub, on
the payroll, and the suppoSition is
that if they did not actually OBJ.
tain Warneke with a definite idea
of getting rid of Dean, they will
pursue this course now to keep
from dividing in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 between two pitchers.
Yet, he is liable to be right back
at st. Louis.
Babes Decision Due
The Babe is to do some shopping
among the major league moguls,
then announce his decision on the
Albany offer.
While he has declined in the
past to go into the minors, even
as a pilot, there seems to be rea-
son to believe that he might grab
this berth. He wanted to talk to
Clark Griffith before accepting or
declining the Albany offer.
All of which brings us down to
the dynamite-that Feller case.
Heretofore, only three courses
were seen for Commissioner Ian
dis in his decision, which will be
based on whether or not the
Cleveland Indians are guilty of
violating baseball law against a
major league club signing a sand
lotter.
May Fine Indians
The judge may declare him a
free agent, give him back to Des
Moines, which may or may not
have prior right, or give him to
Cleveland. But he also may de.
eide to slap a fine on the Indians.
That isn't a comforting thought,
considering the import of his de-
cision as it will bear on baseball
in the future, coupled with the
fact that as juriSt he one time
plastered on a $29, 100000 fine.
If he should fine Cleveland any
part of that it would be somewhat
annoying.
His verdict is expected by Thurs
day at the latest, when the majors
go into joint session after separate
meetings tomorrow and Wednes-
day.

News Behind the News
BOrah, Knox Clash in Primary -.
Senator May Get Boost Detegd-
ton May Split -.

WASHNGTON-The next big political date
is April IA, when Senator William E. Borah and
Col Frank Knox compete in the Republican
If Borah defeats Knox in the latter's home
state a result Borans friends confidently pre-
dict that will be the end of the Knox candidacy
for all serious purposes, and very big boost
for the senator from Idaho.
Illinois is the only state where it is yet cer-
tain that the names of two major candidates
will go before Republican voters in such way
that the electors will be able TO make choice
between them.
It's primary is divided into a preference vote
and a vote for individual convention delegates.
There is no particular connection between the
votes, and even if one candidate wins trem-
endous preferential victory, the delegation is
likely to be split.
Nevertheless Borah will be in a strong psy-
Geological position if he obtains popular en-
dorsement in illinois, Ohio, Nebraska. and Penn
sylvana-stateS where he already has filed-and
in other states where he may file later.
o Q
Unwi1ngness of Governor Landon to enter
preferential primaries against Borah has been
attributed to the KansanS desire not to antag
onize the senator and his friends, but Borah is
understood to be bitter because he can't meet
Landon on the battlefield of ballots.
Build-up Of the Borah candidacy in the
primaries fits in nicely with the theme argu-
ment of his followers that he is the only Repub-
lican candidate who is experienced in national
affairs. has large national following and can
meet Roosevelt in the election campaign on equal
terms.
The popular vote the Senator receives in
primaries will indicate the Importance of a
possible Borah bolt from the party ticket AL
though anti-Borah politicians profess not to
believe in that possibility some men who have
known and observed Borah for a long time in
sist that they wouldn't be surprised if he should
bolt this year crowning act in long career
of political insurgency and independence aSslln-
ing that he is neither nominated nor given
voice in framing the party platform.

HELP THE RED CROSS SUPPLY
FUNDS FOR FLOOD VICTIMS.

Today, the Ell Centre Red Cross chap
ter starts a hurried driUe for funds to
be used to aid Eastern flood UictiBis.
No cause is more ICOrthy of support.
The need is great, and every person in
III Centre, HOitUiIe, Heber and SeeIey
should do his part.
The Red Cross, Great Mother of
Charity" is rushing aid from all parts of
the United States to the hundreds of
thousands of people who have been left
bereft of food, lodging, clothing and the
necessities Of life in the terrifying floods
which have swept sixteen eastern states.
This is the greatest flood calamity
in this country of recent history. A
quarter million people have been left
homeless. Damage to the extent of two
billions has been done. The number of
deaths and missing persons has mounted
into the hundreds while pestilence, sick
ness and danger of epidemic is being
valiantly fought by armies of doctors
and nurses.
To help meet this emergency, the
Red Cross is using every effort. Funds
are needed for immediate help and the
call has been sent to every community
in the forty-eight states for donations
to total S3,0O0,000.
The Ell Centre chapter is now hard
at work endeaVoring to raise their quota
of S675 The territory of this chapter
includes Holtville, Imperial, Heber and
Seeley and the farming areas around
these towns. In order to speed the gath
ering of this fund, this newspaper has
been called upon to act as clearing
house for funds, which assistance it is
more than glad to render in behalf of
such a worthy cause.
This is the biggest emergency condi-
tion that has faced charitable institu-
tions since the depression. In former
years, the regular and accepted system
of meeting such emergencies was
through organizations such as the Red
Cross. AS a result of government acti-
witty during the depression, it IS possible
that some folk might consider the ham
ding of such need as a government JOB
This is not however, a case for the
federal agencies. Their task will come
in rehabilitation of the derelict families
in rebuilt homes, and in lending money
to business and industry to recondition
factories and buildings. The care OF
the needy, cold, and homeless human be-
ings is a job for benevolent-minded peo-
pie of all the states, working through
the agency of the Red Cross.
Many valley people nave 1TIeHuS or
relatives in the flooded areas. They es-
pecially will be interested in cOntribut-
ing quickly and whole-heartedly to the
much needed fund.
We are confident that all Imperial
Valley, blessed as it is with countless
comforts and benefits, will rise to the
occasion and meet the local quota IN
record-breaking manner.
Send YOUR contribution to The Red
Cross, care of this paper, now.
