and Frank have been saying to
me for years, and they never have
meant any of it any more than I
did in the dream"
His face agiow with the sheer
ecstasy of managing such club,
even IN a dream, and knocking off
he big boys who have been rub
bing his nose in home plate for
so long, Wilson took another pull
on his beer and went on.
"Yes sir, I'd like to see Terry,
and Frisch, and Traynor and Grimm
with a tail-end ball club. They
are always crying hard times, even
when they got a loaf of bread under
their arms. Take that Grimm, for
example. Last year Chicago needs
pitcher SO what does Charley do
but just reach out and buy Curt
Davis, just about all I got. And
that Frisch. Always yelling he'd
like to get rid Of Dizzy Dean.
just hope he does, because I want
to see what he'll do without him.
He'll head right down for us. A
guy who wants to get rid of a
pitcher who can win 30 games
that Is, If he's handled right-must
be nuts in any language I'd like
to have Dizzy just on odd Wednes-
days. ! wouldn't care how he act
ed. He could live in a squirrel cage
and wear evening clothes all day,
just so long as he'd win those ball
games for me-" -
. AT this point Mr.. Wilson rounded
the conversational second base and
headed for home. But that's an
other story for another day.

WARMING
By BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

Early in the basketball season, in
fact Immediately after Ell Centro's
Spartan cage team had dropped a
1925 decision to Brawley high, I
predicted Central would win the
valley basketball crown.
Since I am the only person in the
valley who takes my predictions SER
iously, it is time that I add an If
clause to my forecast. (For my own
satisfaction If for no one else).
The if clause, which will probably
make the prediction more inaccur-
ate than my first guess obviously
was, follows: Ell Centre will an
mex the valley basketball crown IF
they begin to work together -. /. and
IF they pass the ball when the op-
portunity presents itself.
The passing attack of the
Spartan team has been lousy all
season. Not because the Ell Gen.
trans are not capable of passing
the ball accurately, but because
they seem to forget that passing
is a valuable offensive weapon.
The Ell Centre cagers made good
showing against Brawley in the first
quarter of the opening league game
because they did pass the casabs
with certain degre of accuracy and
purpose.
But in the latter part of the Sec
ond half, their passing became wild
the guards dribbled down with the
ball threw it to a forward and the
forward, instead of trying to work
the ball in for setup, took shot
from some where out beyond the
foul circle. AS result. the alert
Brawley guards grabbed the casaba
as 1t bounded off the blackboard and
and moved the ball down under the
Central basket where Wong, Ellis or
Riley scored pushup.
Taking a play from the first per-
iod. and one from the last quarter
will further demonstrate the value
of passing and set plays, assets the
Spartans have at their command,
but which they fail to use consist
entity.
Trailing 10 in the first period,
Central went into action. O'Guin
brought the ball dcwn the floor.
passed to Carol Smith. Smith
faxed the ball. shot it to Bromley,
who in turn wheeled the ball back
to Burke at a guard. Again the
ball rifled across the floor to
Smith. He relayed it to RyersOn,
who by this time was standing
under the basket. Ryers0n easily
stopped the ball in for setup and
two points.
Perfect passing. wide awake ball
playing and fine ball handling
brought two points in series of
plays that left the Brawley players
dizzy.
Then in the fourth period. The
Spartans were trailing 10 points.
O'Guin brought the ball down the
floor, passed to Ryerson. Ryerson
grabbed the casaba, and instead OF
passing to a team mate who was
standing under the basket alone.
begging for the ball, wheeled and
lofted one handed shot from the
edge of the foul circle. Brawley re-
covered. passed the ball around and
went IL points ahead when Ellis
banked a set-up through the net
ting.
IF the Spartans use the passing
and set play attack they have been
taught in practice drills every after
noon in the Central gymnasium.
they will successfully defend their
championship.
BUT. if the Spartans insist on
abandoning the pass attack, and in
stead try the shoot and pray"
method, Brawley will win in walk.

The economists attributed this un.
usual trend to early marketines Of
crops and live stock this season h.-
cause drought boosted prices Of ono
and reduced feed supplies for tha
other. They also noted a recent down.
ward trend in farm prices.
Despite this reversal, the economists
said the May income was $4,000 oot
ABOVE the same month last season
and highest total since May, 1890.
When farmers collected $1,000 900.
For the remainder Of 1887. the econ.

the same period Of 1886" Farmers
should have more wheat, corn and

A dozen strikers were injured. one
seriously. in a 10minute battle be-
tween piokets and police at the en-
trance OF the T'heuer Wagon Works
on Hudson boulevard today.
The disturbance began when 100
pickets attempted to prevent an au-
tomobile from entering the grounds.
Police Chief John j. Simmer said one
striker, Oswald Johnson. A. was in
jured when the car fell on him after
pickets had raised one side of the
ground.
Stephen Van Clef. chairman Of the

In view Of that, the board said II

The States attorney said the two
men were being held at an unnamed
place for fear Of retaliatory action
against them by the strikers.
The crowd around the gate was one

are this city's largest industry.
Pickets said Cephas was not at

the plant, several hundred yards from
a point where strikers had blocked the
road with an automobile and truck
They said he had stepped to one side
OF the road when the truck turned
