plan their march in Olympic sta
dium Aug. l before Chancellor
Adolf Hitler and other high Ger

TO be decided at the meeting was a
new and typically American salute
in place of the "eyes right gesture
which the American athletes gave
at the winter Olympics and which
was not we'll received.
Il favor something typically Am
erican, such as doffing hats and
placing them over the heart" "
Brundage said before the meeting.
The athletes prepared to resume

Attendance records fell at the
Ell Centro softball diamond Friday
night when the nightball enthus-
lasts from every section of Imperial
Valley crowded their way into the
park to see Brawley and Calexico
battle it out for the championship
of the first half of valley league
play.
The bleachers were crammed
with people, hundreds more were
lined against the fences inside the
park and still more witnessed the
tilt from their autos parked around
the field.
And what a game it was. Both
teams battled tooth and nail,
fighting for the victory that meant
championship for the first half.
Eddie Myers twirled a master
piece for the CaleXicans. His rise
ball floated across the plate tempt
ing the Brawley batters to swing,
and when they did the ball seemed
to rise just out of reach. Nineteen
men went down on strikes and only
one Brawley batter, Harvey Shirk
could get hold of ball for base hit.
Mr.. Shirk really took hold of one
too for the sphere scared out of
the park for home run.
Art Rubideaux, BraWley hurler,
pitched his heart out to win and
twirled a beautiful game but the
luck wasn't with him. Errors were
responsible for two CaleXico runs.
Art gave up only three hits over
the entire route and whitfield 10
men.
The only thing to detract from
the glory of the victory for the Cal
exico team was the injury of Eddie
Kelly. Kelly, who scored the first
run for the CaleXicans, hurt his leg
when he slid in home. Serious
ness of the injury was not deter
mined Immediately.
The amateur fight program at
the Ell Centre athletic club Friday
night was one of the best of the
year.
The VillegaS-Benzor affair was
one for the books. Both boys threw
everything they had and more at
the end of the fight both were so
exhausted they could hardly stand.
Villegas proved that he will be
plenty tough man to beat with
couple mere fights under his belt.
He had had only four fights before
tangling with the champ and only
Benzor's ring strategy saved him
from certain defeat.

Fans who have formed the idea
that CaleXico will lay down now
that it has won the first half in
the valley league might as well for
get it, for Johnnie Carroll, man
ager of the Flying A club, vows his
team will win the second half play,
though he admits it will be a tough
battle.
The CaleXicans stand good
chance to repeat in the second
round, however, as no team in the
valley can match their pitching
staff of Kelly and Myers, and not
a team in the league can come
close to tieing their spirit.

FARM WAGES
RISE SHARPLY,
FIGURES SHOW
April Rates Highest Since
1881; Labor Supply
Decreases.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Farm
wages paid on April / were the
highest for that date since 1881,
according to a report released to-

ment of Agriculture. Rates month
with board averaged $29.89 the coun-
try over; month without board,
5000; a day with board, $105, and
without board, S1.43.
The supply of farm labor exceeds
the demand, but by a smaller mar
gin than on Jan. l this year or on
April a year ago. This is attribut-
ed to higher wages.
The April supply figure is re-
ported the smallest for that date
since 1929, the reduction being at
tributed to increased Industrial en-
ployment, and to 1.-The many relief

MARCH CONSTRUCTION
RISES 40 PER CENT
Contracts in 81 States Valued at
S199,62S,300 in Month.
Times Specinl

meS Sp6CtUt
NEW YORK, April 18.-March
construction records, despite severe
winter and harsh floods, show an
increase of 40 per cent over Feb
ruary, and gain of approximately
81 per cent over the total reported
for March, 1885, the F. w. Dodge
Corporation reported today.
Contracts in 81 states during
March were valued at $199, 1923, 300,
compared with $142O50,20O for
February, and only 1922, 940,500 for
Barch, 1885. Increases in construc-
ton were shown for residential and
nonresidential building as well as
for heavy engineering types.
Gains over last year were we'll dis
tributed geographically, with each
of the Is major districts east Of
the Rockies participating except the
New Orleans territory. Increases in
construction as compared with Feb.
ruary, 1886, totals were shown for

TRUCK DEMAND
AT HIGH LEVEL
Domestic Sales Expected to
Establish Record This
Year.
Times Special

tWeS SpectuB
NEW YORK, April 18.-Demand
for commercial motor vehicles has
been at high level thus far in 1886
and, given sustained activity of gen.
eral business, this year is expected
to set a new high for domestic sales,
the Standard Statistics Co. report
ed today.
Final registration data for 1885
revealed that more than $4,000
commercial units were sold in this
country, or about 81 per cent of
the 1929 peak. 1t is estimated that
domestic sales in the first quarter
of 1886 were close to Is per cent
more than year ago. Such rate
OF improvement may not be fully
maintained through the year, in
view of the substantial volume of
this type of business which was de-
veloped in the latter part of 1885,
but a reasonable expansion is in
dicated, which should bring the 1886
total we'll ahead of the some $4,000
units retailed in the previous peak
period.
The larger vehicles, of course, still
represent only small part of truck
sales, but it is probable that this
division will expand somewhat more
than the lighter classifications in
the intermediate future, as the
heavy industries extend their re-
covery trend. Bus sales have also
been substantial, rejecting the mod
ernization of transit facilities of
many urban systems and also an
active interurban vehicle business.

NEW YORK, April 18.-Textile
mill activity during the first two

8 per cent over the corresponding

current issue of Textile World.
The increase did not apply to all
fibers, however; cotton and wool
were up, silk was off, and rayon
was about the same. With official
March statistics not yet available,
the most trustworthy opinion is
that the effect of floods on produc-
ton was limited.
