DANzTG, July 8. U.P)-The first
serious rift in German-Polish re-

to go to war with Germany even
in defense of her treaty rights in

suggestions that the League of
Nations could muster an interna-

Poles remained unequivocally OPP
posed to any German move to

of Nazi activities in Danzig to
emphasize league inability to cope

Germany, however, was expected

CaleXico Flying A softballers
nearly lost their title as the hitless
wonders of the valley league Tues
day night when they went on a
batting rampage to bang out three
home runs, two triples, a brace of
doubles and a flock of singles to
rout the BraWley Merchants 18-1.
The victory stamped the CaleX-
leo nine as the outstanding favor
lite to win the championship of the
second half.
Because of the vigorous protests
voiced by the fight fans when Bill
Taekett raised the right hand of
Don Benzor in token Of victory over
Jose Ybarra in their fight two
weeks ago. matchmaker Noel John
son has lined up two expert, at
least We hope they are expert,
judges to help TaCkett decide the
winner Of next Fridays classic be-
tween the two battling light
weights.
Nov that the Hogue twins have
definitely established themselves as
the class of the bantam weight di-
vision in the valley, matchmakers
Of the two clubs should insist they
meet some of the leading coast
bantams. In their last few fights
the twins have had cinch battles.
By giving the twins stiffer COM
petition the clubs can give the fans
better entertainment and at the
same time give the Hogue boys
chance to improve their fighting
style against the best in the anna
teur fight game.
Brawley batters again failed to
solve the slants of Eddie Myers
when they faced the lanky Cal
CXico chucker Tuesday night.
Myers let the Brawley nine down
with one hit, a scratch single in
the ninth inning. In three games
the Brawley batsmen have gar
nered only two hits off the Cal
exico hurler.
Herman Graves plans to 60 into
the ring and k.o Chief Robbins in
even shorter order than he did
when the two pugilists met before.
The Chief was upset in more ways
than one when Graves slapped him
TO the canvas and VOWS he will turn
the tables Friday.
