was met with a deft sidestep and
stinging rights and lefts that sent
Graves backing across the ring.
Both boys were in magnificent

Ely Flowers, Brawley heavy

height and reach of his opponent,
Jack Wofford and as a result the

one of the few amateurs to make
Graves back up, came out of his
corner at the opening bell, weaving
and bobbing, Before Graves reach
ed the center of the ring Freeman
shot in a fast left and a terrific
right that sent the Negro stumbling
across the ring.
Graves, somewhat surprised by
Freeman's attack, charged toward
the Los Angeles boy and attempted
a hard right Before the blow
landed Freeman jolted the Negro
with three quick blasts to the face
and body.
Herman backed away cautiously
to survey his dangerous opponent
Freeman weaved in again and
Graves shot left. The Los Angeles
fighter rolled with the punch, Slip
ped inside Graves left and peppered
the Bomber with five short jabs be-
fore Graves could retreat.
Graves leaped from his corner
at the start of the second round
determined to make the L. A. battler
suffer for his first round assault.
Freeman, however, continued to
weave and bob, always just out of
Graves reach. The Negro again
and again tried to land a solid blow
but Freeman's peculiar style baf-
fled the Bomber.

GRiDDERS WORK.
ON new PLAYS

While El Centric high school sec
ond and third stringers banged
away at each other in a strenuous
scrimmage, the Spartan varsity
eleven today ran through a dummy
scrimmage working on new plays
and brushing up on old plays.
After mastering most of the new
plays from punt formation, the
squad held long pass offense drill
with Feeney and Juan kirkpatrick
doing most Of the passing.
Taylor will try Napier out on his
passing attack in an effort to have
his team clicking Extensively Fri

The high school footballers will
work on defense, concentrating on
ways and means of stopping Red

back formation that is confusing to
an opposing team but Taylor plans
to have his club familiar with the
Redlands attack by Friday night.

Ernie swiss" Burgi, promising
Holtville lightweight, who last week
knocked out Benn.a BriXman, will
attempt to take another step up
the ladder when he meets Joe
Grande at the El Centre athletic
club arena Friday night.
Joe Grande, fine boxer, is ex-
pected to give Burgi a lot Of
trouble but the Holtvillian's power
and speed will indubitably give him
an advantage.
Herman Bomber" Graves, who
came within an ace OF being de
feated in the Brawley ring Tuesday
night. will attempt TO score a quick
knockout victory over Ralph Cronin
in the main event.
Because Cronin. who is being
groomed for the middleweight
championship of the navy, will also
be out for a k.o victory, the main
event should develop into one of
the best slugging battles on the
punch packed card.
Ely Flowers, who couldn't get
around the left hand of his op-
ponent in Brawley Tuesday night.
will open his comeback campaign
Friday night when he will Chamber
into the ring to meet Sailor More
lock Of the U. S. Navy.
Flowers pounded out four round
decision over Morelock two weeks

few "firsts".
Here's one mans opinion of the
tops and bottoms of the series:
The No. l guy: a fellow named
Jake - Jake Powell. How much
would you have liked to bet before
the business started that Jakey
would outhit Gehrig by 1853 points
and Dimaggio by almost as much?
But he did, and his mark of ass
was far and away the fattest aver
age of the series.
The No 999 guy: a fellow named
Travis-Travis Jackson. He was a
great one when he had it. and he
had it for many a year, but he had
no business being out there in 1896.
His figures are bad enough-a bat
ting average of 200 and three err
rors-but they don't tell half the
story. He didn't put his glove on
half a dozen balls that any other
third baSeman in either league
would have knocked down. And
vet they say Bill Terry is a hard
hearted guy! Hell. Stoney's his pal,
and he played his pal. Right UP
to the end
Best pitching performance; It be-
longs to losing pitcher-Freddie
Fitzsimmons. None of his rivals
came close to turning in the per
formance he did in getting licked
in the third game.
The worst pitching performance:
I don't remember their names eX-
actly. but they were Giants and
stopped off here en- route from
Peoria, in the three-eye league. TO
some place in the Kitty or Sally
circuit.
Gamest guy: Terry. He played
hard baseball for six games on
left leg which wasn't fit TO walk
around the streets on. He'll be
lucky if he doesn't wind up with
permanent limp.
Second gamest guy: Hal Schu-
macher. 1t took courage OF the
rawest. reddest sort to win the
game he did.
Best fielding play: Dick Bartell's
bare-handed stop of Crosetti's burn
ing grounder in the seventh inning
OF the final game.
Best outfield catches: those by
Acrobat Ripple in the fifth and
sixth games.
Biggest dope: a guy with the
initials H. NJ who predicted land
bet) the Giants would win in six
games.

promptly at 8 pm.
At a meeting of the valley Of

WARMING
BY BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

The 1886 world series is over and
the New York Yankees are the new
champions.
Business men can now return
their full attention to their jobs,
and sports editors can stop worry
ing about their predictions.
The 1896 series was the most
thrilling world championship battle
in modern baseball, bringing togeth-
er two Of the finest clubs ever
groomed. the Yankees. a powerful
offensive club. and the Giants, q
hard fighting defensive team.
The hero of the series for the
Yanks was Jake Powell speedy out
fielder. who led the famed American
League sluggers with a phenomenal
average of .455.
Hal Schumacher was easily the
outstanding player on the Giants
club. Halls magnificent perform
ance in the thrilling fifth game of
the series in which he defeated the
Yanks 5-4 in 10 innings. will 60
down in world series history.
Facing the Yankee murderer's
row. Hal again and again pitched
himself out of tight spots In ev-
cry inning but the eighth he was
forced to turn on the heat to retire
the Yanks with men on the bases
and each time he won out. Gehrig,
Dimaggio, Dickey. Lazzeri, they all
looked alike to Schumacher when
runners were on the base paths
and hit meant defeat.
Freddy Fitzsimmons, Giant knuc-
kle ball specialist, was the hard
luck pitcher of the series. He set
the Yanks down with four scatter
ed hits in the third game while the
Giants, were gathering II blows. but
the American Leaguers won out 81.
Lefty Eel Gooio" Gomez, was the
surprise hurler of the blue ribbon
classic. He chucked the Yankees
to two victories over their city rivals
and in his first game he hurled the
final seven innings with a burning
pain in his right side.
The Yaks, famed for their ter
rifle hitting power, banged out 65
hits against so for the Giants and
scored 43 runs to the Giants %.
Lou Gehrig and George Selkirk
blasted out two home runs apiece
and Dickey, Powell and Bazzeri got
one each. Moore, Barten, OFT and
Ripple hit home runs for the
Giants

WITH 13
Low Numbers Much
Sought; Advantage
Doubted, Though

William A. Van Duzer, director
Of the Department of Vehicles
and Traffic, is one man who isn't
superstitious about the number 10.
This year, as in past years, Mr..
Van Duzer has license tags "13'
for his personal automobile. He
has been driving an automobile
for nearly 80 years and has had
his ms and outs in traffic to such
an extent that he has come to the
conclusion nothing like license
tag "13" can have any effect on
his luck.
Much Sought After
Low number licenses this year,
as always, were much sought
after by persons who think they
are a sign Of influence and act
as a charm with traffic police.
This theory is denied by those in
charge of traffic, who point out
the low license numbers have a
distinct disadvantage in that they
are easily remembered.
Numbers /, and 3 are as
signed, as hitherto, to the District
automobiles used by the Com
miSSioners.
Daniel I. Sultan, Engineer Com
missioner, has tag Number 4 on

In dies, District Commissioner
George E. Allen returned to his
desk today and took stock Of the
Districts works and relief pro-
grams, over which he has juris-
diction.
After a check-up, Commissioner
Allen reiterated his intention Of
seeking a deficiency appropria-
ton Of approximately 100000 to
carry the relief program through
the remaining months Of this fiS-
cal year and Of seeking an APP
preparation Of at least So 5000
for the 1887 fiscal year.
Reports showed there are now
9,460 cases carried on the District
relief programs, which it is esti.
mated will be cut to approx
mately 5000 through transfers to
WPA projects by February /. The
relief program is being carried on
with the remaining one million
dollars Of the two million dollars
granted by Congress in the 1885
appropriation bill.
Commissioner Allen pointed out
that he will have to expend at
least 100000 a month from now
on, which will exhaust the relief
fund before the close of the fiscal
year.
District WPA officials reported
1925 persons are now assigned
to works projects, and that TO- 94
are now actually working while
the others are awaiting assign
ments. There are still 2,187 yet
to be assigned and it is expected
1000 will be put to work this week
on white collar projects.
