VALLEY PITCHED,
CHUCKS NO Hi,
NO RUN GAME

Ed Kelley, Calexico valley league
teams ace chucker, broke into the
softball hall of fame Wednesday
night when he turned in a no.hit,
no-run game against a strong Yuma
nine.
Kelley. loaned to the Signal Oil
team for the evening, twirled the
first perfect game of the season in
leading the Oil team to a 100 vic
tory.
Only one batter reached first
base, on an error, and in the nine
innings only % men faced Kelley.
Ed did not pass a batter.
Kelley's fast ball and change of
pace were working to perfection,
and inning after inning the Yuma
batsmen took their turns at bat only
to return to the bench completely
baffled by the antics of the sphere.
When the last man had famed
and the game ended CaleXico fans
stalked out of the park, confident
of taking the valley league pennant
this season, for it appears only q
host of Jimmy Foxes and Bill Ter
rvs would be able TO find the offer

DITCH WATER
DANGEROUS,
FOX DECLARES

Never drink raw, untreated ditch
water" was the warning issued by
DR.. Warren F. Fox, county health
officer He has issued a similar
warning every summer for the last
six years, he said, and observance of
the warning becomes more and more
important.
The danger of using raw, untreat-
ed ditch water is especially great in
Imperial Valley during the months
of May, June, July. and August.
The water should be boiled or
chlorinated Settling does not bring
safety even though it results in cut
ting down the bacterial load, ac-
cording to Fox.
Free information relative to the
correct dosage or chlorination may
be obtained at the county health
office in the basement Of the court
house
Vacationists should be certain the
sources of water and milk supplies
are safe, Fox warned, and he again
recommended typhoid vaccination
as a safety measure before depart
ure on vacation trips.

Streak; Nab League Lead

NEW YORK, May 81. UP)-The
S. Louis Cardinals recaptured the
National league lead today, swapping
the New York Giants nine-game
winning streak with TO 2 decision.
The Cards scored three times in
the ninth to defeat Al Smith who
had allowed only three hits up until
that time.
The Giants started a rally in
their half and nicked Paul Dean
for three straight singles, good for
one run, before the younger Dean
made Manager Bill Terry, pinch
hitting for Jackson, hit an easy
grounder to end the game. The
Giants out hit the Cards, to T.,

all of theirs in scoring innings,

teurs. It follows that the match
maker has no definite hold over
his fighters and cannot force them
to appear. However, he can bring
pressure to bear by blacklisting
them temporarily when they fail
to show. If the erring fighters
have a legitimate excuse, naturally
they would be given another
chance. l still fail to see why some

WARMING
BY Burdette Kinne
Post t-Press Sports Editor

Recently in this column criticism
was made of the handling OF
amateur boxing bouts at Brawley.
We found fault with last minute
changes in the card, due to fight
ers falling to show up. In the
mail we find the following:
TO THE SPORTS EDITOR:
In reply to the criticism of the
amateur boxing matches in the
Bench Warmers column in the
May 20 issue of the Post-Press, 1
wish to say that I do not think
you quite understand the condi-
tions.
There is no law compelling an
amateur boxer to show up when
he is signed on a card. Some Of
them box for the pleasure of the
sport, some have the ambition to
become professionals and like the
experience and physical training.
The columnist probably does not
understand that the boxers do not
receive compensation, and in many
cases have difficulty in getting
money for transportation. There
fore, what may be termed a run
out is, in many cases, unavoidable.
Our patrons from all over the
valley have been very considerate
and courteous to the boys and
Judging from the crowds we have
had, have been well pleased with
our contests
Through these amateur bouts we
hope to bring a close relationship
between BraWley and FL Centro
and we appreciate any courtesy
you may extend to us along this
line through the efforts OF your
paper.
Sincerely,
K. Richmond, A.A.U.
Representative for ImperialCounty.
Even a columnist knows amateur
boxers receive no compensation.
Otherwise they wouldn't be anna

Dismally May Burden stared at her open
trunk She was returning to debts, to troubles,
to an uncertain future She was thirty-two.
She was blonde and blondes needed to look
young; particularly in minor parts. She would
find it harder and harder to get work. There
came point in an actress's life when, if you
weren't good enough to get really good parts,
you didn't get parts at all. Never had she felt
the future to be more black. Never had she
felt less in the mood for the kind of party with
which her last night in New York was to be
made festive
The party was being given by Nesta Rus

Nesta as typical New Yorker no other city
could have produced her. She was little, and

she had been so reckless during those last
weeks in London; ordered those new clothes;
that aquamarine bracelet; given those lunch
parties at the Ivy. that farewell cocktail party
at her fiat. How puny those bills would seem
after six-months run on Broadway.
Six months was the very minimum that
had been prophesied. She herself had ex-
pected at least year; with very likely
Hollywood contract afterwards. Within two
years her name would be ablaze on Broadway.
That was how she had pictured it.
But to the astonishment of the entire the
ater business, the play that had run for
year in London, that opened in Times Square
to fanfare of publicity, Topped so CON-
pletely that in self-defence the management
withdrew it after seven nights.

Burden could not believe that it was

English porters would be hurrying it through
the customs; that one week from now she
would be back in her one-room service flat
in Curzon Street; and within month of that
lighthearted goodbye cocktail party when
she had believed herself to be taking leave
forever of her troubles and responsibilities,
back in London!
She had been so certain. The piece had
been running for year in London: was such a
success. in fact, that its owners had refused
to hold up its New York production. They
could not wait for the original cast Their
impatience had given her her chance - her
first real chance for several years and her
very first visit to New York. 1t was the kind

she might have been Rumanian Though she
was only twenty seven, she had been married
twice and was at the moment husbandless.
People found it difficult to remember time
when she had not been an inevitable figure at\
first nights, night clubs, publishers teas.
Yet in spite of the fact that she had rarely
ended day before three O'Clock, she had got
through considerable deal of work. She had
written couple of novels, one of which had
been Book-of-the- Month Club choice She
was part author of musical show that had

In her time she had made quite bit of

friends with them and when they
arrived, threw parties for them.
Nesta's enemies described her as
social racketeer. But she
wasn't that. She just liked CIV

people in the room. She knew the

insisted.

"How do you do, Mrs. Ryder"
I'm delighted to meet Miss Burden
The two women faced each other, and in
that one glance May Burden and Mrs. Ryder
felt for each other sudden. dramatic loathing.
To the twenty odd Americans in that
room, two Englishwomen, of the educated
classes, were being introduced to one another
But the two Englishwomen themselves knew
that they were not equals, they were not
alike; that each came from distinct and
separate classes in the one country in the
world where the tenets of caste system are
still valid.
In that one glance Mrs. Ryder knew May
Burden for what she was: the clothes, the car
riage, the pitch of voice told her from what
kind of home, what kind of parents May Bur-
den had fought her way to her present place;
she could picture the family desperate battle
to maintain appearances, its hard upward
struggle. The actress could recognize in Judy
Ryder - from the long pointed nose, the
languid manner, the inbred good looks, the
high-pitched voice, yes, in the dowdiness that
five years of New York had not wholly exor-
