the services of the most spectacular
young pitcher of the past decade.
Yes sir, S3700 And most OF it in
cash. too. When you know that
the Yankees or Red Sox or Cubs
or Giants would peel off better
than $4,000 for the young man,
you really can begin to understand
Brooklyn's big-heartedness.
I'm just wicked enough to wish
that the Dodgers, in a moment OF
forgetfulness, would purchase Dizzy
Dean. For Dizzy wouldn't be there
a week before he'd make it his bus
mess to ascend to the office OF the
owners and, taking them one by
one. tell them, in the good OF Dean
manner. just what he thought OF
each of them. And the first time
he lost a game because of the er-
rors of the dime dozen players
which make up the team, his pure
Castillian Texas language would be
SOIllcIlllllS W AiobCiA w. AAAesSf AS' -
course, if you were a mule-skinner
in the war, and were born on pier
8. East River. on stormy night
AS 1 get it, Brooklyn's trouble
is that there are two groups in con-
troll, and that the groups care fol
one another like the Spanish rebels
like the loyals. They can't even
agree on what day of the week ii
is much less on a man to manage
the team, as it is laughingly refer
red to in some quarters. And while
they scrap and argue and pull haii
one of the best, if not the best
franchise in baseball is gradually
falling apart.
So let's all send em wire. Bu1
don't send it collect-those Brooklyn
tycoons wouldn't pay the charge or
a telegram telling them they hao
fallen heir to diamond mine.

weeks prognostication contest. a
flock of football forecast artists be-
gan sending their selections into
the Post-Press. each one certain he

selections into the football contest
editor in the Post Press. The win

awarded two tickets to the BraW-

Because Calexico high dropped
Herbert Hoover Jayvees from their

the Calexico-Hoover game in the
contest will be crossed out.
The game, of course, will not be
counted on the coupons already
sent in to the Post-Press football

ST. AUGUSTINE
OUT TO WIN IN
VIKING GAME

ST. Augustine football team, the
club that dropped TO decision to
the strong Calexico Bulldogs last
week, will trot out on the Holtville
field Friday night determined to
win its first game of the season at
the expense of Coach Noval Walk
er's Holtville Vikings.
The Augustinians have held
three of the leading Metropolitan
league teams to one or two touch
down victories but have been un-
able to put over more than one
touchdown per game.
Because Holtville boasts one of
the finest defensive teams in the
valley and because the Vikings are
noted for their expert pass stossers
and snaggers, valley sport scribes
are giving Holtville light edge
over the San Diegans.
The vikings showing against
Herbert Hoovers junior varsity,
whom they beat 1870 last week,
demonstrated to valley fans Holt
vile can no longer be considered
the weak sister of the Imperial VAL
ley conference.
ST. Augustine has not opened up
on their passing attack this season
but the San Diego mentor an
nounced Wednesday he would in
dubitably send his squad into the
game with specific Instructions to
fill the air with passes.
Persons who saw the Saints in
action here several years ago will
remember the brilliant pass attack
of the San Diegans despite the fact
they had a comparatively weak
team. With one of the heaviest lines
in school history and with fast
and tricky backfield, the Augustians
hope to start a sustained victory
march Friday night on the Holt
vile gridiron.

SPARTANS GO
THRU DUMMY
SCR|MMAGES

Sending the high school Spartans
through one OF the longest dummy
scrimmages of the season, Coach
w. S. Taylor and assistant coach
Bob Erskine worked on the flaws
in the Ell Centro forward wall and
the weaknesses of the back field
on several running plays.
Again and again the Spartans
ran through their formations stop
ping after each play to hear the
comment of the two coaches.
Blocking of the line and backs
showed great improvement to-
ward the end Of the scrimmage.
Taylor and ErSkine were well
pleased with the showing of the
squad and predicted the Ell Centro
team would put much better
ball cluo on the field this week.
The Spartans will invade the
San Bernardino high gridiron Fri
day night to take on the strong
San Berdoo football team in their
final pre-conference tilt.
Despite the fact the San Ber-
nardino gridders are noted for
their alright pass defense, Tay-
lor plans to have the FL Centro
backs try more passes this week
than they have in previous games.
The Spartans have several out
standing pass plays and should
they begin to click against the
highly touted San Berdoo team
the Spartans will come home with
their third victory of the season.
San Bernardino boasts a great
running attack that will test the
mettle of Ell Centro's heavy for
ward wall. So far in the season
no opponent has been able to bot
tie up the San Berdoo attack, but
Taylor is confident the Ell Centre
defensive system will thWart any
attempt of the San Bernardinoans
to cross the Ell Centre goal.

40 lap main event.
Hobe Herrick and Frank Hetzel
who are rapidly closing in on the
lead of Hardin Young in the point
race for the championship of the
year, are planning to battle it out
for the first spot tonight as Har-
din Young will be unable to take
part in the event.
Herrick trails Young by only
six points and win will put
him only one uiglJ behind the
Brawley driver. While Hetzel trails
the leader by l8 points win to-
night will put him in striking
distance of the leaders for the
first time in two months.
Freddy Davis, VINO is resting in
third place in the point standings
by virtue OF his fine showing
early in the race season, is de-
termined to regain some of his
lost laurels in the final night race.
MY midget racer is in perfect
running order for the first time
in three months" Freddy an
nounced Wednesday night, land
I'm certain it will show the rear
tires to the other drivers.
Davis kept his car out of last
weeks race in order to have the
tiny auto in great shape for to-
nights events.
Ward Swarthout, Fred Salmen,
AL Thomas, Buzzie Busard and
several other valley and coast
drivers will be in the thick of the
race and any one OF the men is
capable of sending his car across
the finish line in first place.
Because tonight;s races promises
to be the most exciting of the year
packed with spills, spins and
crackups, midget officials antici-
pate the largest crowd of the sea-
son.

don't know how you feel about it,
if at all, but my entry in the "Sug-
gestion- Of Month" club is for
all baseball customers to send
wire to the executives of the
Brooklyn Dodgers and say some
thing like this:
Nuts stop we all but tired watch
ing you guys try run major league
team on bush league plan stop
please either quit game altogether
or turn franchise over to men who
have some knowledge baseball stop
nuts again stop"
If you think this message too
harsh, please pick yourself up
paper and read the latest blather
of that sterling gentleman, who
has baseball closer to his wallet
than his heart. Judge Steve Nc
Keever, president of the Brooklyns.
The judge, with the white piping
on his waistcoat shining in the
MONDAY sun, and his cane beating
a brisk tattoo on the floor, gave off
an interview yesterday in which he
angrily denied that Babe Ruth
would be considered as a successor
to Casey Stengel (who was fired be-
cause he couldn't win the pennant
with a dugout full of guys named
Joe), and that Dizzy Dean would
not be purchased from the Cards.
That denial gave Judge McKeever
the first leg on the magnificent
challenge trophy which is offered
each year to the fellow who makes
the most superfluous remarks.
Who in the devil ever thought
Brooklyn would engage Ruth or buy
Dizzy? Ruth would cost money
and so would the Dean who is
Dizzy. and Brooklyn wouldn't take
the rubber off that bankroll, even
if offered a pitcher who was good
for 50 games, hit $50, fielded 1000
and could cook.
The tip-off on how the Brooklyn
front office operates came when
the Dodger executives made public
the amount they we're willing to
pay Bob Feller when, and if, he
was declared a free agent. With a
perfectly serious set of faces the
owners announced they would be
glad TO part with s3,700 to gain
