P0st-Press Sports Editor

Sport championships in Imperial
Valley high schools were evenly di-
vided during the 1867 sport sea-
son, with Ell Centro winning two
and tying one; Calexico winning
one and tying one; and Holtville
and Brawley winning one each.
FL Centre got the jump on its
sports competitors with a football
championship after a sizzling race
that even had the Bench Warmer
guessing.
The SpartanS started the season
inauspiciouSly enough by losing to
Brawley in the league opener after
playing mediocre ball in four prac-
tice games.
But after that first loss the Spar
tans played outstanding football TO
finish the rest Of the season with
out a loss, climaXing year Of
great playing with a breath-taking
victory over Harry WeXler's Escon-
dido footballers in q southern Cali
fornia playoff game.
Basketball came next on the
schedule and Brawley promptly
took the sport page front. The
northenders finished the league
season with ten wins and no loss
es, polishing off every valley team
at least twice.
They gained the semi-finals of
the southern California playoffs be-
fore bowling to San Diego high.
In track, Ell Centro chalked up
number two championship. when
the Ell Centro clnder path artists
brushed off the other valley schools
with comparative ease, despite the
fact Holtville high won first places
in four running events.
Tennis saw CaleXico and FL Gen.
tro meters battle to a tie III team
matches, each walloping all other
valley schools and beating each
other once.
Calexico high crammed its cham
pionship into its trophy case dur
ing baseball season.
After dropping their first game to
the BraWley Wildcats the Bulldogs
came back to defeat Ell Centre, I'M
perial and Calipatria and then hang
two losses on Rrawley in playoff
games,
Holtville came up with their
title in the last sport of the year.
They walked through an unde-
feated season in softball with easy
victories over CalexicO. Brawley,
Ell Centre and Imperial.

The ball has started to roll.
Two Japanese baseball fans from
over on Broadway today offered to
share the expenses in sending an
El Centro baseball team to San
Pedro in July to play in the Cali
fornia semi-pro tournament, the
winner of which will go to Wichi-
ia to represent the state.
Other baseball enthusiasts have
signified their intentions to aid in
the sending OF the team to the
coast and Jack Stark is already max
ing plans to round up a team-if
enough valley [ans will rally TO his
support.
If its publicity El Centro wants,
this is one sure way to get it
especially if Ell Centro won the tour

and Salmen is close behind. The

Salmen will drive his car onto

the trophy dash and early ehmina-

The Herriek brothers, Frank Het-

Crash Davis are also expected
TO make a serious bid for the first
place tonight but few experts give
them a chance to stand the pace
over the full distance OF the main

Crash Davis looms as the most
serious contender for first place
honors as he has reconditioned his
auto and is ready TO spin it around
in the same reckless manner that
brought him many victories in
1886.
The program is slated TO open

KAUFMAN

LOS ELES, March IL
(Q.N.SO-California remained a
"No Mans Land" today for George
s. Kaufman, the famous play
wright who once qualified as tenn
porary mo. l Man" in the in
triguing diary of Mary Aston Of
the films.
The bench warrant for Kauf-
mans arrest, issued last August
when he fled to New York in de-
fiance of a court subpoena, still
awaits him despite sudden inter
vention of powerful Hollywood film
interests in his behalf.
Dismissal Delayed
A combination of circumstances
conSpired to delay dismissal Of
the warrant action, which had its
beginning last summer when Dr.
FRANKLIN Thorpe, former husband
of the glamorouS film star sub
poenaed Kaufman to testify at the
child custody trial after asserting
the playwright had broken up my
home"
One of the circumstances was a
blast by Attorney A. P. Michael
Marian, of counsel for DR.. Thorpe,
that he, at least, was opposed to
embarrassing" the playwright for
contempt of superior Judge Good
win j. knights court in ignoring
the subpoena.
Lawyer Objects
While DR.. Thorpe declared he was
prepared to let bye-gones be bye
cones and had instructed his
lawyers to cooperate in the move
to quash the warrant, Narlian an
nounced:
"The courts would be in q
fine mess if we allowed a per-
son to flaunt their orders just
because he is wealthy or prom
inent. I shall present my OBJ
jections personally to Judge
knight today"

LAWYERS PUSH
MOONEY CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, March IL
GN.S0. The final drive Of the
Thomas Mooney defense, designed
to free the celebrated prisoner by
action of the California Supreme
Court or pave a legal highway for
the cases transmission to the
United States Supreme Court, was
begun here today.
George T. Davis, defense coun'
sci, said he will file Immediately
MONEYS exceptions to the find
ings of State Supreme Court Ref
cree A. E. Shaw, who recently pre-
sided over a tedious, 13-month
habeas corpus hearing. The ref
eree's findings of fact are adverse
to Mooney.
The next step will be the desig'
nation of a date by the Supreme
Court upon which it will hear oral
arguments en- banc from both sides
and then take the historic case in
submission.

treats it accordingly. Our prob
lem arises out of the fact that a
majority Of the human beings
who presently make up the Su-
preme Court have in recent
years refused to recognize legis-
lative power clearly entitled to
recognition under the COnStf
tuition as it now stands.
"That would seem to call for
the exercise Of the powers given
the Congress under the COnSti-
tuition to change the cOurt-nOt
the exercise of the much more
cumbersome and far-reaching
powers given to the people to
change the terms Of the Con-
StitutiOn."

adoption. He called the present
crisis a judicial crisis" and as
serted the most reasonable pro-
cedure was to change the view

The Minnesotian declared most
opposition to the Presidents plan

will appoint new justices with the
viewpoint now held by Justices
Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo.
Devaney appeared before the Sen

Conceding the American Bar
Association had denounced the
Presidents plan, Devaney warned
lawyers generally that they were
in danger of being taken to the
whipping post" unless they be-
came more sympathetic with the
trend of popular opinion. He
said the country was in danger
of losing its respect for courts
and for lawyers" He added:
From every point Of view,

far the most conservative rem

marrow ESCAPE
Drum Corps Members Avoid
Collision With Ore Train
Monday Night.

Monday night the car in which JOS
Gerzin, Jr., DR.. j. j. Call, Thomas j
Carey, Albert McMahan and Peter
Moroni were returning from the State
Fair where they had appeared with the
Ely Drum and Bugle Corps, encountered
a dense fog after leaving Duluth.
With Mr.. Gerzin at the wheel they
were making good time Notwithstanding
the fog. Arriving near Eveleth, dark
object suddenly loomed before the
driver and he at once sensed that it was
a moving ore train.
Brakes were applied and the car was
swung sharply around and ran a short
distance alongside the track in the di-
rection the train was going before
being brought to standstill.
It is needless to state that the pas
sengers were horror stricken when the
train appeared about so feet ahead of
them across the road. The prompt &C
ton of the driver and the distance,
with the brakes set, and a fair measure
of luck, is all that saved the party from
a serious accident or perhaps instant
death.
The party is receiving the congratu-
lations of their numerous friends over
the miraculous escape.

FIRST FOOTBALL
next SATURDAY
Ely Opens the Season With
Biwabik Here; Ely Team
in Fine Trim.

With five of last years players in the
squad, the Ely High School football
players will begin an active season on
Saturday next when they appear on the
local grounds against the strong and
very active Biwabik high school team.
Coach Buckley is very sanguine as to
the ability of his players to take the
measure of the Biwabik team. While
it has not been given out, but listening
to those who have seen the boys in
their practice games, we gather that
the squad is exceptionally well bal
anced and will appear to good adj
vantage against any opponent.
Following the game with Biwabik
here on Saturday, Tower will appear
here on Saturday the following week
The first out-of-town game will be
played with Eveleth at Eveleth on
