ings, the nightriders justified
their violence with moral admo-
nitions. They gave Fowler two
messages for his neighbors, in
structing one to "stop beating his
wife" another to "stop drinking
liquor" =
Fowler, a lifelong resident OF
this section, is highly respected
and never has been in trouble:
He could give no explanation OF
why the floggers singled him out
for violence.
He told Sheriff Sessions, how
ever, that the hooded men de-
manded he edo something about
a warrant" involving a youth
charged with being drunk and dis
orderly. He told them he had no
power to do anything, and they
fell upon him with the lash.
Sessions appealed directly yes
terday to Governor Olin D. john
ston for aid in stamping out the
nightriding band. He said inves.
tigation will begin "in earnest
with arrival of state constables.
Meanwhile, he hoped federal
agents would take a hand.
The lashing here followed by
only a few days revelation of &C
tivities of a similar band in North
Carolina which whipped at least
six persons, including women.
Sheriff Sessions conferred last
night with a state agent repre-

Johnny Fischer
Wins Golf Tourney

GARDEN CITY. N. Y. Sept. 10.
W.P)-A stout heart and a magic
putter today made Johnny Fischer
the 40th amateur golf champion
of the United States.
With Sandy-haired Jock Mclean
of Scotland threatening to take the
title across the sea for the first
time in a quarter century, Fischer's
charmed putter squared their SO
hole championship battle on the
home green. 1t clicked once more
on the first extra hole to give the
lanky university of Cincinnati law
student the golden trophy which
Lawson Little, now a professional,
held for the last two years.
A gallery of 1000 unruly Specta-
tors saw Fischer even the match
with a u foot putt for birdie
two on the 36th green. And they
gave the new champion mighty
salute as he canned a 25-footer on
the 37th for a birdie three and
the title
Fischer, a lanky quiet 25-year old
golfer. won the title in the face of
odds that would have broken less
stout hearted competitor.
He injured his left ankle coming
out of a trap in the mornings
round. He limped on the afternoon
round. He trailed by three holes al
the end of 81, but Johnny, pulling
himself together, roared down the
home stretch to win the closest
amateur final since 1923 when Jess

heavyweight, Friday night proved
he is one of the most popular
battlers in the valley. He handed
out a terrific beating to Morelick
of the Navy but at the same time
absorbed a lot of punishment.
Morelick rushed from his corner
at the opening bell and pounded
Flowers at will. About midway
in the first round, Flowers peeked
out from behind his gloves, very
frightened looking Negro. Then
he heard shouts of encouragement
from his corner and from the
audience. He flicked out left,
acting as though he was only try
ing out the punch.
He seemed surprised when the
blow landed but gained confidence.
He suddenly waded into the Navy
fighter and proceeded to hand
Morelick real beating.
Flowers appears on the Brawley

The huge Spartan line with

and again came through with bril-
liant tackles and sparkling bits
of blocking.
Second string linemen also made

The inexperienced backfield
showed promise but also demon
strated they are very inexperienced.
Taylor plans to continue intensive
workouts throughout next week and
to round his backfield into shape
before the opening game with
Coachella.
Kirkpatrick, Burke, O'Guinn and
Napier looked good in the back
field and several other ball car
riers showed promise. Taylor an
nounced Saturday morning he is
particularly well pleased with the
fine spirit shown by the squad
so far in practice. IF the boys
continue to show the same en-
thusiasm and willingness to work
We'll turn out a championship
team this season." Taylor said.
Other valley schools held rou-
tine workouts with Brawley and

Mark Koenig, former Yanks'
shortstop and now utility infield-
er with the Giants says: THE
pitching and defensive strength Of
the Giants will bring them
through"
The only thing the three ex-
Yankees agreed on was that Carl
Hubbell, Giants southpaw, is like
ly to be the outstanding player in
the series regardless of which team
wins.
"Hubbell is the hardest pitcher
in the world to beat in one game, y
said Ruth who had little luck bat
ting against the Giants screwball
pitcher in all-star games and in
his swan song last season with the
Boston Braves.
"Of course, the Yankees have
plenty of hitters who can break
up ball games and they might
beat Hubbell but the odds are
against it,"
Hoyt, who has pitched in the
National League the past five
years, regards the Giants as for
tunate to win the pennant, II and
when they clinch it.
1.-THE series may go seven games
and Hubbell may win two" says
says Hoyt, 'but 1 still think the
Yanks will overpower them"
After giving his opinion Hoyt
37-year- old veteran now pitching
for the Pirates, went out and beat
the Giants, 4-3, just to prove that
his estimates Of the prospective
National league champions being
an over-rated club was not idle
gossip.
Koenig is about ready to claim
the most unusual world series re-
cord in history. He was star short
stop of the Yanks in 1926-27-28
but was cast adrift in 1880. The
Yanks didn't win another pen
nant until 1882 and Koenig was
in it, too, playing with the Chi
csgo Cubs against the Yanks. Now
the Yanks are in another one
Koenig is about ready to play
against them.

Mark Rose recommended three

blue weed or horse nettle.
Others who spoke on the subject
were Harry James, w. E. Hancock,
F. M. Ballou, w A. McFadden.
That the lowering of valuations
and the subsequent increase in the
tax rate has not resulted in increas-
ed taxes but in many instances, in
a decrease. was the substance of a
report by Scott b. Foulds for the
farm bureaus tax committee, a
group which has advocated lowering
of valuations for some time. This
committe contended that valuations
were too high on the basis of &C
tual cash sales.
Foulds cited 33 ranches in various
parts of the valley. including those
owned by the directors themselves,
showing that according to the 1885
rate, a total of $3,058.7l in taxes
was paid compared to the $2,957.4
against them under the new rate.
These figures refer only to the
county rate, however, not to the
school taxes and those on personal
property. In cases where large
Improvements have been made the
reduction in taxes was smaller than
in cases of unimprovement as the
lowering was on real estate, not

athletic club, will try to turn in his
second upset victory in the Brawley
arena Tuesday night when he will
tangle with Art Blanco, San Ber-
nardino lightweight, in the main
event.
Lucio, the most improved fighter
in the valley, trimmed Bill White
last Tuesday night in one of the
outstanding fights of the year. Both
battlers peppered each other with
stinging rights and lefts throughout
four rounds Of furious fighting that
had the fans standing on their feet
cheering both boys.
Art Blanco, who banked out an
impressive decision over Bill White
two weeks ago, is wild swinging
lightweight who believes the best
defense is a potent offense.
Ely Flowers, hard hitting Brawley
Negro, will meet Eddie Ferguson
who has bowled over a flock of the
best amateur heavyweights in south
