Asks Backing for President.
The Secretary asked his listeners to
forget selfish cliques or sectional in
terests and unite behind President
Roosevelt for Nationwide drive on
enemies of conservation.
Secretary Ickes followed the lead
of another cabinet officer, Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace, by kidding"
Jay N. Ding) Darling from the plat
form. Darling resigned recently as
chief of the Biological Survey.
Yesterday afternoon he was elected
president of tentative general wild
life federation"
This Wildlife Conference couldn't
have selected a better chief" said
Ickes with broad grin, "for
Ding Darling's the widest lifer I
know. I'm a crazy conservationist
myself, and the only one know who's
crazier is Darling"
Wallace Also Chides Him.
It was all in fun and Darling had
proved he could take it" last night
when Secretary Wallace laughingly
told a dinner meeting:
Jay Darling thinks that I just
don't have any appreciation what
ever of wild life as an economic asset.
He comes around with all kinds of
absurd ideas as to how you can raise
a thousand dollars worth of muskrat
fur on one acre and things like that"
Wallace then turned to Darling and
laughed. 81 take all these figures of
Jays with a grain of salt. I think he
is an awfully good cartoonist.
IT don't think much of him as an
economist. I'd like to show him how
to justify his wild life from an eco
nomic point of view because think
he can do it. I don't think he has
gone at it in the right way"
While Darling merely grinned, some
of his friends raised heckling voice
or two as Secretary Wallace talked.

Friday night when the Brawley

an impressive four round decision
over Art Gonzalez, San Diego A.

club.
Morrissette, discarding his usual
cautious style of fighting, took
the offensive at the first gong,
beating Gonzalez from one corner
of the ring to the other. Only
in the latter part of the fourth
round did the San Diego Mexican
give Morrissetts any trouble. Nor
rissette, however, regained his.
form shortly before the bell and
again drove Gonzalez into. the

Rivers started fast in the OPEN

ring. Big Boy hung on for most
of the initial stanza seeming to
study the attack of he champion.
With the start of the second
round Hogue evidently had found

attack. When Joe lunged Hogue

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.
(UP) = The rising tide of
the New York Giants and
Yanke ees in the major
league battles for the 1886
championships has altered the be-
lief that eastern baseball supremacy
is a thing of the past
For two years the western clubs
have dominated the annual world
series, and were favored to take
charge of things again this year.
The experts conceded the Yam
KEGS might have a chance to edge
out the two-time American league
champion Detroit Tigers, but none
was optimistic enough to give the
Giants a chance of coping the Ma
tional league bunting from the St.
Louise Cards and the Chicago Cubs.
Before the Tigers won the league
race in 1884 and 1885, clubs from
the east had held the champion
ship for 13 consecutive years.
The Yankees need only seven
more victories 10 clinch the junior
flag after downing the Boston Red
Sox. to 6. Friday. With only %
games remaining on theii schedule,
the Yankees boast 17l2 game

The Giants hold a four game lead
over the Cards and four and a
half over the Cubs. They are con-
fident, however, that with Is of
their remaining IS games to be
played at home. the 1886 gonfalon
will fly over the polo grounds.

VALLEY MIDGET
DRIVERS PREP
FOR BIG RACE

Imperial Valley and San Diego
midget race drivers might just as
well forget any plans they may or
winning any races at the Ell Centre
speedway next Thursday night.
The reason a certain Yuma car
owner has just completed a new
midget racer, car, if you will be-
lieve him, which is perfect in every
detail.
The modest Yuma driver was
quoted as saying, Il would have en-
tered the races last week but was
not sure my car was in good enough
shape to take the trophy dash as
we'll as the main event. However,
after several trial runs I am con-
fident my new car will take every
event, and I only wish I would be
allowed to enter the consolation race
so I could win that too
Valley drivers forgot their private
feuds as they prepared their tiny
cars for next weeks race Most
valley owners were willing to lay
the money on the line that the new
Yuma car wouldn't finish better
than fourth but more conservative
drivers merely continued to tinker
with their speedsters when ques-
toned about the chances of the
Yuma speedwagon.
Because the valley cars are show
ing more speed each week, fans who
attend the races next week will see
the most thrilling events of the
year when the local speed demons
unlimber their autos in an effort to
beat out the Yuma super-car the
widest battle in the history of auto
racing will be witnessed.
Anticipating a reckless race Off
cials have replaced the old bales of
hay on each turn with more sturdy
bales.
