My pick of the Giants was made

single health chart. I didn't
even ring up the rival managers

amateur fighter who has lost only
one fight in more than fifty bat

Wizards impressive winning
streak in Imperial Valley amateur
arenas was snapped by Joe Garcia
several weeks ago in the Ell Cen

evenly matched, well fought fight
a battle that fans are still talking
about.
1 was a slam bang affair from
start to finish. Neither fighter
gave ground. Instead they stood
tee to toe and slugged each other
with a steady rain Of blows that
had fans standing on their seats
shouting at the top of their lungs,
shouting for two youths who were
fighting their hearts out for vic
tory.
AS Hogue left the ring, the loser,
fans gave him a wholehearted ova-

and reverse the decision.

the feat. He will enter the ring

as the best lightweight in the

Boys Fail
To Appear

Several hundred Imperial
Valley amateur fight fans,
who travelled to the Brawley
Eagles arena Tuesday night,
turned away disappointedly
when they were informed that the
scheduled fights had been called
off because the auto transporting
the Los Angeles battlers to Brawley
had broken down in Ell Monte.
Reporters who stormed the dress
ing rooms found that Floyd Brown
had departed toward Ell Monte in
his trusty auto to bring the fighters
on to Brawley but his car also
broke down enroute.
Fans were invited into the arena
to watch a few of the valley anna
teurs, including the colorful Hogue
twins, workout in preparation for
the fights in Ell Centro Friday night.

Imperial Valleys transforming all
stars. the team that represented
California in the national softball
tournament in Chicago, will breeze
into Ell Centro Thursday complet-
ing a trip that took them through
20 states and netted the valley more
valuable advertising than any like
movement ever sponsored by the
citizens of this area.
The all stars played in more than
40 games while on their tour, play
ing bGfore approximately 100000
people. Many hundreds of thous-
ands more read of the Imperial VAL
ley team in various newspapers
throughout the nation and thous-
ands more heard a play by play ac-
count of their tournament games
in Chicago.
The valley team lost only seven
games out of the 40 played and
their 33 or more victories were
chalked up against the strongest
scftball clubs in the nation.
Many events are scheduled
throughout the valley to honor the
returning athletes.
Jerome Dizzy Dean, ace of the
st. Louis Cardinal pitching staff, in
fact the only real pitcher on the
staff. is probably the most oisap-
pointed major league ball player
or Diz worked harder than any
hurler in either league during the
last months of the campaign ano
won more than his share OF the
games. but the rest of the st. Louis
pitching staff could not hold up its
end of the assignment, AS a result
the Cardinals finished five games
behind the league champion, New
York Giants.
Dean who worked in 13 games ir
the last 20 days of the pennant
fight, recently remarked that only
four Of the Cardinal roster, three
besides himself. belonged in the
major leagues. Pepper Martin, Joe

If one checks over the Cardinals

will find that OF Diz isn't far wrong

These two threw in their lot to-
gether in The Washington Times
Atlantic Coast doubles last week
and demonstrated to the world
how q doubles team should "click."
Barnes toppled over the largest
number of pins, 1245, but 1t was
Pacini's tenth box spare and seven
count in the final game which
clinched the crown. Pacini'S total
was 1888 and their grand total was
far short Of the events record,
2601, rolled by Joe Harrison and
Dutch Newman in 1898. However,
it was just enough to beat out the
faSt-closing Joe Harrison-Ed Blak-
eney combine by six pins and that's
what they pay off on.
Blakeney High Man
Blakeney, incidentally, had high
1O-game set Of the tournament,
1866, which, considering the bril-
lance of the field, wasn't a whole
lot. The hot pace Of the first four
games Of the final block told too
heavily on Bill Krauss and Astor
Clarke and they hmped home
third with a weak 208 final game.
But in their great drive during the
first four games they had the
crowd on edge. Clarke had the
doubles high game, 161, and high
set, 665.
Pacini demonstrated that his
triumph was no flash in the pan

Promise
BY GARRETT WATERS

A team that hopes to make trou-
BILE aplenty in the interhigh bas-
ketbal series.
That's the aim Of the Roosevelt
Rough Riders as they drill daily
in the Roosevelt gymnasium.
The possibilities are bright at
that. Coach Herman Lttman
has an ambitious group Of young
sterS around him for one thing.
And the talents Of the majority
are topnotch.
For instance there's Joe Conner,
captain, who has the makings OF
a real basketball star. Joe jumps
center.
Then there's Frank Bailey, fast
and accurate, at forward; Bill Fo-
gel, developing rapidly as a guard;
Sherrod Robertson, dependable in
the back court, and Ray Fridrlck'
the newcomer who flashed IN
football, as an up and coming tor-
ward.
Group Looks Best
Littman hasn't decided on this
combination as "first string" as
yet, but from recent practice ses-
sions they loom as the cream OF
the mentors crop Of candidates.
A team must have reserves, how
ever, and good ones. Littman Is
covering this end by drilling the
remainder of his squad earnestly.
Among the likely looking young
sters are Doyle Royle, Charles
FindIey, Harry Freund, Eddie
Brown, and Johnny Miller, for
wards; viii Love, Paul Rusher'
Blaine Wicklein, John Brennan,
and Eddie Gerstenfeld, guards,
and Harry Moore, center.
Most Experience
Royle and Rusher were reserves
on the varsity last year and can
be said to possess the most expert
ence. However, the majority OF
the others are Junior varsity
players who gained valuable eX-
perience in games Of lesser light
last season. They include Bren-
nan, Freund, Wicklein, Brown,
and Miller.
The Riders open their season
Friday when Montgomery-Blair Ii
met in the Roosevelt gymnasium
at $3.50 D. m. Unless other games
are scheduled before the Christ
mas holidays, the team will not
play again until January S, when
st. Johns is engaged at Roose-
velt,
The Maryland Frosh are listed
on January 8 at College Park and
then Tech High, January IL, In
what will be Roosevelt'S debut in
the interhigh series.
Speaking Of the spirit Coach
Iittman has developed since
basketball was started, it has even
reached to his board Of managers
and assistant managers" includ-
ing Bernie Joy, Bob Waters, and
Bob Easton. These boys attend
to their chores as well as some OF
the candidates out for the team.
