team faced a stiff test to add an
other baseball championship to their
long list today as the Bulldogs ran
through a final workout in prep
aration for the title games against
Brawley in El Centre Tuesday after
noon at $50.
BraWley high boasts the strongest
baseball team since 1882 when the
Wildcats upset the Bulldogs and
the Northend team is given an even
chance TO knock over the Calexico
team.
Nick Ellis, who held the CAL
eXico team to eight hits and beat
the Bulldogs rs in the first meet
ing, but who was Shelled for 16
hits and a 1913 beating in the Sec
ond game. holds the answer to
BraWley's chances.
If Nick is in form the Brawley
team will probably come through
with a victory.
Coach Covington is taking no
chances Of losing the title game
Tuesday afternoon and is starting

Shorty Hogue, the umdefeated

Martinez, who was handed a beat

the season, has been training for
another shot at the twin for the

be in better fighting condition than
when he copped the CIF cham

Young, who has not appeared in
the valley, is a rough, hard hitting
Indian and capable in-fighter.
When he and Bigboy start mixing

BENCH WARMING
BY Burdetfe Kline

Remember the slugging Indian
CIF champion, Henry Martinez
from Riverside Indian School, who
came closer to ending Shorty
Hogue5 winning streak than any
other fighter?
Well, Martinez is coming back
to Ell Centre, and for only one
purpose To beat Shorty Hogue.
Martinez is d fast moving light
weight who throws punches thru
four rounds and never gets tired.
That's why he came within an
ace of handing Shorty his first
licking when the battlers met be-
fore
When Hogue fought BenZOr
the former southern California
champion fought mis- fight in
the first round and then stood
by helplessly while Shorty hand
ed him the most merciless beat
ing he had taken in 200 fights.
But Martinez was still Wading
in at the fourth round bell and
though he was taking more punch
es than he was landing ne OBJ
viously worried the twin.
Thursday night Martinez will
climb through the ropes at the

The French early recognized the
possibilities of the fur trade and
other trade with the Indians, and so,
instead of vainly hunting for an Ell
Dorado or Fountain of Youth, they
sent out explorers to map the coun-

great value and led to many years

SIDE LIGHTS
ON
LOCAL HISTORY
By
Stanbery Alderman

The country in southeastern Ohio
had been here quite long time be-
fore it was seen by any but the Abor-
igines, or the Indians as we know
them, so far as any recorded history
goes. A few years ago I had the
pleasure of knowing Mr.. Clark of
Cleveland, who was a publisher Of
rare books. and collector of man
uscripts. It was his hobby, at that
time, to collect every manuscript
that had any reference to early tray-
el in, or to Ohio, and he cid print d
series of books called Historic
Highways as well as several other
books relating to early travel and
exploration III what is now Ohio AMI
other parts of the United States. He
very kindly allowed me to visit his
office for days at time and read
these old diaries and letters and
journals that had been kept by the
very first travellers through the
country, west Of the Ohio river. He
died and the collection was distribut-
ed by sale, and l have never been
able to find out if any of them We're
ever printed.
So far as we know, La Sale was
the first white man ever to traverse
what is now Morgan county. La
Sale was born in France in 1885,
and educated for the priesthood:
but he could not endure confine-
ment and so in 1866 he came to
Canada and started to explore the
wilderness and was the first to
travel much of what was later
known as the Northwest Ter
ritory and the first to write
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1937-09-09

about what he saw and heard. Even
tually he travelled over a course from
Canada, through the Great Lakes to
where Chicago now stands; from
there to Mississippi and down that
great river to New Orleans Later
he landed in what is now Texas, and
in March of 1857 he was murdered
by his own men. His records for the
years 1868 to 1911 are lost, but from
references in other records we know
that these years were spent in wan
dering over the territory between
Canada and the Ohio river, which he
was trying to discover and explore.
We know that he came to Lake Eric
and up to the mouth of the Cuya-
hoga river, and from there he went
across Ohio to the Ohio river, by
way of the rivers and portages. This
would cause him to go up the Cuya-
hoga river to- the portage between
its headwaters and the beadwaters
of the Tuscarawas; thence down that
river to the Muskingum and to the
Ohio. We know he was at the
mouth of the Muskingum because in
1898 a plate of lead was found near
the mouth of the river short dis
tance up from the Ohio river, bear
ing the following inscriptions: ''In
the year 1749, of the reign of Louis
XIV Of France, we, Celcron, COM
mandant of detachment sent by
the Marquis de la Galissoniere, CAP
tain-general of New France, in or

parts. have buried this plate at the

enjoyed the preceding kings of
France, and that they have main
tanned themselves there by force Of
arms and by treaties, especially by
those of Ryswick, of Utrecht and Of

writer says-an astronomer told him the
earth Is moving toward the sun at 1872
miles per second. I think not. What
the astronomer probably told him was that
the earth Is drawing closer to the sun and
is moving at 1872 miles per second in
its orbit, which is nearly circular path
around the sun. As this path is not an
exact circle. the sun cannot be in its
exact center, and the earth's movement
brings it nearer the sun at this season
than in our summer months. Under WELL
known laws Of planetary motions, the
orbital velocity of the planet accelerates
as it approaches closer to its primary
body, thus generating an increased centri-
fugal force which balances the increased
gravitational pull of the sun due to its
closer proximity.
If your writer doesn't know what CEN
trifugal force is, let him drive car around
a curve on a snowy road, without chains,
and he'll find out, though the discovery
may not do him much good.
The balance of forces alluded to in case
Of the earth, however, holds it to its path
far more securely than any tire chains ever
held car.
