Divine RctributiOn-

The Lewis Mitchells, new Mr.. and
Mrs. act in the California Highway
Patrol, returned to their home on
Broadway one night this week after
an enjoyable evening out to find
the interior in one grand, terrible
state of dishevellatiOn-if we may
coin a word Kitchen utensils re-
posed in the living room and the
best wedding gifts were on the
kitchen stove. Cracker crumbs and
paper crunched under foot. Right
ly or wrongly, some people from
-Holtville get the blame, and RR
ould say that their troubles are

An imaculately groomed Irish

carried a coffee can. The disdain-
full aristocrat did not change his
pace nor turn aside for the trucks
and automobiles zooming the slush
on either side of him. He trod his
way west to Seventh street and
then turned sedately north. Where
he came from, where he went and

sion some weeks age, Professor
Alan c. Taft, assistent aquatic
biologist of the natural history

TODAY'S
Sports Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE

SARASOTA, Fla, Feb. 3. UP
A WarWhoop which shook the palm
trees two fairways away suddenly
came from the 10Th green of the
Bobby Jones golf course.
Dizzy must have sunk a long
one,' drawled Yves Terrell, and
continued his long pull on the glass
of milk on the clubhouse porch.
We weren't long wondering, for
a moment later Jerome Herman
Dean, the Dizzy one, his shirt tail
waving in the wind his face split
in a grin as long as a mashie
bitch, came laundering into the
clubhouse.
Hot dam, did you see that
one?" he yelled. I'm as far of
from that cup as second base, but
1 kissed it in. Waitll that Babe
Ruth hears about it. I hope he
heard me yell-itll break his heart.
Gimme a beer, boy"
He fixed me up playing level
yesterday" Dizzy explained. And
was so cocky today he bet me near
ly two hundred dollars he'd come
closer to a rs than I would to a
95. That putt, which was longer
than you can throw, Yves, made
me just 85. Babel have a devil
of time getting anywhere near
rs. He was out in more'n forty
and I saw him take a seven on
the tenth. He was cuSSing some
thing awful"
Later, when a shower had cool
ed him off, Dizzy forgot golf long
enough to talk baseball; of the
coming season, of his chances, the
Cardinals and the chances of the
other clubs.
1.-The National race" he said,
yanking on sock, lis going to be
between us and the Giants. You
can throw those Cubs out. They
won't like that, because they're
champions, but go ahead and throw
'em out just the same. What they
got? A one-man pitching staff in
Warneke, a fair infield and a bunk
outfield. You can't repeat in our
league with that. They wouldn't
have won last year if they hadn't
pulled one of those things that
happen every hundred years, and
won those tWenty-one games in a
row. Don't go around betting on

HUSBANDRY CLASS VISITS

The animal husbandry class of the
Future Farmers were the welcome
guests of Frank Hopewell, of Imper-
ial, recently.
The class went to Hopewells hog
ranch, west of Imperial, where they
were shown the entire stock, which
consists of more than 1850 hogs. The
stock is fed the Ell Centre garbage
and occasionally grain.
Lloyd Hopewell, the son of the
rancher, was engaged, at the time
of the visit, in vaccinating the hogs
cholera and pneumonia. This
proved to be valuable and interest
ing lesson. Mr.. Hopewell, after ex-
1laining the feeding and breeding of
hogs, gave an interesting talk on the
prevention and control of hog dis
eases.

clubs that have to do that to win"
Did he think the Cards were good
enough to lick the Giants?
Sure we are. We only missed
the pennant by game last year,
even with Med wick and Collins,
a coupla $50 hitters. batting under
IT'S for the last 80 games. Our
pitching is bound to be better. Now
that men Daffy have got some
help, you watch that Parmelee go.
That Terry didn't give him a
chance. He'll win 20 for us, Daffy
he'll win % or %, and I'll take 26.
Yeah, 26, that's the number
want. I decides on 26 because I
won 80 two years ago, and 20 last
year. This year I'll figure I'll get
two less
Did he figure he'd win two less
because he was losing his stuff?
Nav, not that. I got more stuff
than 1 ever had. I can still fog EN-
through just as fas as 1 want to-
People said all that work 1 did
last year had whipped me down
for good, and that I wouldn't be
so hot this year. They're crazy. I
got tired as the devil last year sure,
cause I was working all the time.
But I'm rested now, and my arm
never felt better. I just picked 26
as a number because I like it. I
might do a lot better than that"
Through the locker room VIM
dow Dizzy spied a big crowd NOV
ing up the fairway-the signal that
Ruth was coming up the last fair
way. Grabbing his coat and tie
he headed for the door, bound to
collect his debt. At the door he
pulled up quickly and called back:
When you write about those
Cubs say a good word for that kid
Cavaretta who plays first base for
'em. He's a hard guy to get out
even if he wasn't SO hot in the
series with the Tigers. He's just
a kid, and he'll get lot tougher"

Basketball
Tourney To
Be Stunned

Calipatria's high school quintets
have again refused an invitation to
enter the Ell Centre basketball
tournament scheduled for Friday
and Saturday of this week.
The north end school, under the
first year athletic direction of
Coach Bonn, turned down an in
vitation to enter the tournament
when it was originally scheduled
for December. The meet was post
poned at that time because OF
weather conditions. Coach w. S.
Taylor of Central high school ex-
tended a second invitation last
week and this was also refused
by Calipatria.
The present set-up will leave
five teams for the tourney. Rep
resentatives from each of the five,
Imperial, Holtville, Brawley, Cal
exico and Ell Centre, drew up a
tournament schedule which places
Brawley and Ell Centre on the
floor in the first round. The loser
will be dropped from further COM
petition in the meet. CaleXico
drew a by in the first round and
will have only to meet Imperial
before assuring itself a place IN
the finals.
1t was learned today that nego-
tiations were being made to bring
the Ell Centre Junior college light
weights into the tournament. Al
though the high school teams IN
the valley have agreed to the plan,
it must be okayed by the Callfor-
mia Interscholastic Federation be

The Junior College basketball
team has done it again. Coach Ro-
Land TaylOrs Arabs of the desert
came back from defeat at the
hands of an invading horde from
Phoenix only the night before, to
squeeze through to One-point vic
tory over the visitors Saturday night.
They faced the same Overwhelm-
ing odds which the Arabs have had
to encounter throughout the hoop
season. They also displayed the
same attitude toward their much
stronger opponents. The Arabs don't
take their games too seriously, but
keep up an unshakable drive to win.
Even i'm defeat, and don't think the
Arabs don't know what that is,
Coach TaylOrs charges can laugh
and fight to the very last minute.
The Jaycees have lost CALAMITY to
the ella Junior College, the Cali
fornia Bears, las pound team, and
the coast mariners. But in every one
of theses losses, the Arabs have con-
WINGED fans that they know how to
play basketball.
Ell CentrO's invitatiOnal basketball
tournament may prove quite inter-
esting with the league having been
just completed. The first round in
the tourney will see Brawley and Ell
Centre opposing each other. They
tied for top position in the valley
league. Then i'm the event that
Brawley wins and is also conqueror
Of H0ltville, ii will meet CalexicO
in the finals. Only a few who un-
derstand what really took place be-
tween these two latter teams i'm

understand the significance of this
contest.
