Quota Reached on
Planting of Beets
By Valley Farms

A quota of 5000 acres of sugar
beets in Imperial Valley has been
reached by the Los Alamitos and
Holly Sugar company, p L. Moore
chairman of the Ell Centro chamber
of commerce sugar committee, an
nounced Friday.
c. w. Stocker, agent for the two
companies interested in developing
the sugar beet industry here, an
nounced yesterday that he had
signed contracts for $500 acres of
sugar beets, and a rancher came
to the chamber of commerce here
later and stated he desired to put
in 22O acres, thus passing the 5000
acre mark.
Despite last winters cold weather
the many test paintings made by
the sugar beet companies in I'm
perial Bailey demonstrated that
sugar beets are well adapted to this
locality. Some of the results, both
in yield and sugar content, were
unusually high. according to tests
of the growers.

struction of a $4,000 metal chamber
in the San Quentin cell block used
for solitary confinement. Total
cost of the airtight structure, where
slayers will strapped in chairs and
die with a single inhalation OF
deadly cyanide gas, will be approx

from Laverne Moore to Montague
after the crime, and fled to Cali

ing pal of Bing Crosby and other
movie stars.
The dapper, genial wizard OF

Court Justice Byron Brewster, who
likened him to Victor Hugo's hero
of the novel. Les Miserables.
Your history for the past
six or seven years seems TO indi-
cate to me-" Brewster said, that
you will be willing to meet the
charge here in fair. upright, hon
est and courageous manner.
Indeed, you seem to present to
me in many resperts a modern por-
trait, having great likeness to that
famous character painted by Victor
Hugo-in sooth, you appear to be
a modern Jean Vatican.
But, different from Jean VAL
jean, you are returned here not
TO suffer from the vindictiveness OF
the law. Our criminal law proceeds
IN its enforcement from no motives
Of revenge and you have been re-
turned not for the purpose Of pei
secution, but in order that you may
be prosecuted in decent and hu-
name manner for the crime where
Of you are charged"
Brewster talked kindly to the
pudgy, nattily dressed golfer who
had volunteered TO return from
California TO face the charge. In
the tiny courtroom was Otto Kru-
ger. the actor, who celebrated Nor
tague's release with a cocktail party
at his summer home, Otsu.
Kindness disappeared, however.

>proved his exceptional ability as
a thrower. He is in there every
day, facing left-handed and right
handed pitching, and ne ranks
among the leaders in the game.
He plays left field or right field;
sun field or shade field, and plays
them in expert style.
There Is no complaint with the
committee in picking men like
Joe Di Maggie, Beau Bell and

so far as defensive ability may
be concerned, this writer will
take Cramer in center, Joe Di
Maggie in right or left, and
Johnny Stone in the open spot.
There is defense, and there is
power at the bat.
And now to take some of the
knock out Of the cylinders of
this diatribe, Washington fans
who dissent from the opinions of
the managers, rejoice greatly
over the selection Of Rick
Terrell and Yves Terrell along
with Buddy Myer for the squad.
It is the strongest representation
Washington has had on the big
The Washington times., 1937-06-28

game squad since Arch Ward
wrote his dream game into the
records, and fought for its pre-.
servation as a major sports
feature of the summer.
Out of Action
That Rick Terrell made the
team must stand as the strongest
testimonial to his ability. He
was out Of action for almost a
month with a broken hand, but
the managers rated him at his
peak and ignored the time he
lost.
Here's a funny story for you:
Joe Cronin, who was named for
the squad, is quoted as having
said that the Red Sox started
climbing when Rick Terrell
came to Washington.
Great stuff! Then Rick is
helping two teams in the league,
and that's one over par.
That Dickey and Luke Sewell
should be named were foregone
conclusions. With Mickey Coch-
rane out Of action, but well on
his way to complete recovery,
there were three possible choices,
and all three of them were named

You can bet that Red Rolfe
will start at third base. Joe Nc
earthly is completely sold on the
Dartmouth boy, and Red will be
in there Swishing at the offerings
of the National League hurlers.
Rolfe Is one Of the fastest men in
the American League, and clever
hand in coming in fast for slow
rollers, or covering that doubtful
terrain behind and alongside of
the pitcher.
Gehrig, Gehringer, Larry and
Role would be the better of the
two infieldS, although Greenberg,
Myer, Cronin and Gift would be
effective.
We are going to have a bit Of
a treat here on Wednesday. Joe
Cronin wired President Clark
Griffith this morning that Buck
NewSom would pitch against the
Griffs on Wednesday. Yves Fer
rell will go for Washington, with
Monte Weaver on the mound to-
morrow.

Harris has definite plan
worked out for Newsom, and if
the Breeze tried any busting off
tactics. he may get a steeIy sur
prise.
Good radiance to those Chicago
White Sox! They were poison
last year; they were poison last
trip: they're poison all the time.
They took three games, breaqing
up q winning streak, and shatter-
ing some Of the morale Of the
Griffs.
But this kid Jacobs, who went
into the game for one inning
looks as though he may make a
real good pitcher. He has stuff,
and he has poise. 1t may well
come to pass in another year that
this boy will be one Of the start
ing pitchers Of the Washington
team.
Maybe thereIl be room for him
next year.

The failure of American League
managers to select Johnny Stone
as one Of the outfielders squad for
the all-Star game here on July z
must stand as an indictment Of
their ability to appraise the worth
Of ball players. # Stone is not
one Of the ranking ball players in
the American League, then every
standard Of judging ball players
has been revised in the last "a
hours.
Unless Rogers Hornsby changed
his mind, he voted for Stone. This
writer will string along with
HornSby in his judgment Of base.
ball ability. There is no better
manager, no keener Judge Of abil-
ity than the Texan.
Exceptional Ability
Bucky Harris naturally named
Stone in his selections. There was
nothing else for him to do. That
makes two good judges in accord
on the same player.
Let's look at Stone for a min
ute. Over a period Of years he has
