HOLTVILLE 9
FACES FALLING
Ell CENTRANS s

A smooth functioning Holtville
valley league Softball team will
meet the rapidly falling Ell Centre
diamondeerS at Wilson school field
tonight in the game that is at
tracing most attention in this
weeks schedule of play.
Holtville, second in the league
standings with record of three
wins and a single defeat, has
shown tremendous power at bat
and an alright defense in its four
games, and is slightly favored over
the Ell CentranS who started the
season in a blaze of glory but
flopped miserably in their last
two games.
Potentially El Centre is just as
strong as the Holtyillc team but
the fielding-e the Coca Cola nine
has been uncertain in games against
Brawley and Mexicali. Bobbles have
been costly in both games and
are directly responsible for the
loss at the hands of MeXicali last
week.
Joe Hurst, who opened the sea-
son by pitching pair of shutouts,
has hurled good ball all season and
should demonstrate more of his
battling deliveries tonight. If his
team mates give him any kind of
support, Hurst stands better
than even chance to beat Holtville.
The league leading Mexicali
clubbers will attempt to stretch
their winning streak at Calexico
tonight at the expense of Johnny
Carrolls ailing Calexico Brewers.
Calipatria's cellar champions will
entertain Brawley on the north
end diamond. Calipat has shown
spurts of power in league games
but lacks consistency to win many
games.

James J. Braddock vs.. Joe Louis.
The champion of the world against
the Brown Bomber from Detroit
who challenges his title.
Two years ago experts laughed
at Braddock when he stepped into
the ring to fight Make Baer for
the most coveted title in ringdom.
When he clmbed out of the
ring after Is rounds of battling
those same experts were puzzled
Louis will kill him. they said,
and settled back to wait for the
match that will draw the largest
gate since Dempsey challenged
Tunney for the world crown.
Braddock went into virtual re-
tirement and Louis banged along
winning fight after fight against
top heavyweights.
Then he met Schmeling and the
redoubtable German stretched the
"Superman" on the canvas for a
ten count in the twelfth round.
Experts were more puzzled. May
be Braddock did have chance.
But their doubts, at least the doubts
of most of them, disappeared when
Louis returned to action and again
began rolling foes for a loop with
his deadly left and jolting right
Today in the BraddOck camp
the champ is certain he can
stop the Negro. And i'm the Louis
camp, Joe is equally as certain
he can stop the champion.
Thousands of sports writer's are
guessing the outcome and millions
of fans are doing the same thing
