uled to meet Mexicali tonight but
Brawley forfeited to Calexico and
left special program planned by
John Carroll of Calexico high and
dry.
Carroll Immediately began man
coverings to bring about a tilt be-
tween Mexicali and CaleXico. Both
manager Birchfield Of FL Centric
and Chris Celaya of Mexicali
agreed to the schedule change.
Ell Centre will meet Mexicali
in the postponed game next Tues
day night in the local park.
Tonight's game between Mexicali
and CaeXico will bring together
two of the outstanding pitchers of
southern California, Eddie Myers
of Calexico and shifty Jordan.
Jordan has been beaten only
three times this season, once by
Myers in twelve innings, and he is
out to avenge that blot on his rec
ord.
Myers has had string of bad
luck in recent games and has been
beaten in three straight games.
Shaky support and lack of hit
ting power has been largely re-
sponsible for the Calexico losses.
A loss for Mexicali will have no
bearing on the final standings for
the team from down under" has
already clinched the league crown.
Brawley has apparently clinched
second place and will begin a play
| off series with Mexicali as soon as
the regular season is concluded.

BOXER TONITE

Shorty Hogue and Eddie More
settle, Los Angeles amateur light
weight, will meet in the main event
at the BraWley athletic club to-
night in another in a series of acid
tests for the Jacumba glove thrower
Hogue, who last week pummeled
Willie Fields into submission with
a two fisted attack, is a Slight IA
vorte over the L. A. fighter but
Moresette is a capable boxer and a
hard hitter.
The Los Angeles fighter also holds
nod over Fields but his win over
Fields was not so impressive as
that Of Hogue.
Six other bouts are carded on the

Seen asAbIe
Bomber Foe

The smack of leather landing on
vital spots of fourteen game amateur
fighters will be heard in the Ell
Centro arena Thursday night when
the Phoenix Indian school boxers
will meet a picked team of valley
fighters.
Herman Graves will lead the val
ley battlers against the invaders
when he meets Chief Ortega, cap
tain of the Indian team and one of
the finest middleweights in the
United States.
Ortega is two listed fighter who
advanced to the finals of the Golden
Gloves tournament at Chicago and
who lost the United States title by
only a close margin.
Ortega's boxing instructor watch
ed Graves in action last week and
though impressed by Graves ability
indicated the Chief was too good
for the valley champion.
Ortega will be supported by six
able teammates among whom is a
match for Imperial Valleys highly
touted flyweight, Manuel Ortiz.
King Miguel will trade blows with
Manuel in the semi -windup and
unless Ortiz fights at his peak he
will taste his first defeat of the
season in the El Centro ring.
Joe Villegas will meet a con-
queror Of Henry Martinez in the
fifth fight of the night when he
climbs through the ropes to battle
Ray Valenzuela.
Jackson Cobb and Loudermilk

other bouts on the program.

Phoenix Indians Scheduled

Bench Wurninu
BY BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

Uley Harris, Negro lightweight
who halls from Los Angeles, was set
down recently by the state boxing
commission for deliberately fouling
Shorty Hogue in the fourth round
of their bout in the Brawlty arena
three weeks ago.
Harris, who was allowed to full
fill two engagements he had made
previous to the foul, was set down
for thirty days.
Why the commission was lenient
in dealing with the Negro will pro-
baby never be known.
Deliberate fouling. such as Harris
committed, is usually accompanied
by a six months suspension and
even that seems hardly enough.
Amateur fighting is one of
Americas fastest growing sports
and it will continue to grow if
fighters like Harris are weeded
out when they commit fouls.
But if the commission insists in
dealing leniently with those often
ders the doom of amateur boxing is
sealed.
There is no room in the game
for those fighters who will resort to
fouls merely because they are being
hurt by an opponent.

Mexicali game still looms as q
classic in season OF many out
standing ball games.
Ell Centre, and Mexicali have met
three times and Mexicali has won
on each occasion, though by close
score.
Most games in the valley league,
however, have Dee.l hard fought
contests with the winners scoring
victories in the late innings.
MeXieali has drawn the biggest
crowds with CaleXico, Ell Centre,
Holtyille, Calipatria and Brawley
following in that order.
The success Of this season pro-
misses that next year the valley lea
que will be one of the fastest in

Lord Dunedin is right In supposing
that by 1875 he could have been play
ing lawn tennis In rectangular court
with the net at the height that 1t Is
today; but 1t would be incorrect to
say that by that time the court had
been standardized. One Of the earli-
est manuals on the new game-Jas-
per Smythe was it's author, and ! i'm
agine that 1t was just issued in the
spring of 1875-makes 1t quite clear
that for some time both the hour-glass-
shaped and the rectangular courts
were In use, says correspondent In
q letter to the London Times.
Incidentally, "sphairistike" was by
no means the first attempt at game
of tennis without walls. "Field ten
mis-" was played In more than one
place during the Eighteenth century,
and there is print of Long or Open
Tennis" dated 1887.

Human Emotions Ruled
by Chemicals in Blood

If your wife or sweetheart Is in
clined to be jealous, 1t is because
there is too much iodine In her blood.
That, at any rate, Is the conclusion
which leading medical men In Ger
many have come to as the result of
a series Of experiments. They claim
to have proved that the blood Of
Jealous woman often contains 100 per
cent more iodine than that of a wom-
an who isn't inclined to Jealousy.
This isn't the first time that human
emotions and instincts have been ex-
planned In terms of chemistry. Just
over a year ago famous American
scientist suggested that mother-love
might be due to the presence Of micro
scopic quantities Of manganese In the
mothers food, and might disappear If
the manganese was eliminated.
This theory was supported by ex-
periments with rats. After 100 days
on manganese-free diet, female rats
no longer bothered about their young.
They simply didn't care whether they
lived or died.-London Answers.

SOCIAL SECURITY BOARD

One claim approved every eight
minutes of the working day-this Is
the rate at which the Social Security
Boards Claims Service will be equip
ped to handle claims for Federal old
age benefits, Luther Becker, Field
Representative in charge of the
Boards office at 800 Court Square
Building, in Baltimore, was advised
by Leroy Hodges, Director of the
Bureau of Federal Old-age Benefits.
Expansion of claim adjudication
work to handle the growing influx of
claims emphasizes the increased ac-
tivity in this phase of the social Sc
curity program, with an estimated
800, 900 persons or their estates eli
gible for payments in 1887, the Blu
reau Director pointed out to Mr..
Becker.
OF the prospective claimants, about
$4,000 will involve lump-sum pay
ments to workers 65 years old, and
$4,000 will be death payments to
estates of workers who die before
reaching this age.
The Bureaus claims experience to
date reveals that approximately 70
per cent of wage earners who die
leave a widow or widower, and in SO
per cent of the cases wherein an ap-
plication for death payments has
been filed, no other assets have been
reported aside from the amount to be
certified for payment by the Federal
Government.
Claims actually submitted during
the year may not equal these totals,
because some claimants may not ap-
ply for small amounts, and some
claims may not be filed within the
year.
There now are three Social Secur-
ity Board offices in Maryland, includ-
ing the Baltimore Office. The other
two are located in Cumberland and
Hagerstown. Other offices at Annap-
oils and Salisbury are expected to be
opened shortly. That part of Mary
land which is nearby Washington,
D. c., is served by a field Office locat-
ed in Washington.

Boil of Aleppo

Aleppo, one of the cities Of old
Syria, is really a city built on two
cities. The first Aleppo was built
over the ruins Of the ancient city,
Bercea. A little more than hundred
years ago during a violent earthquake
two-thirds of the city were swallowed
up, but a new city has arisen to re-
place that which was destroyed. A
peculiar disease of the city, known
as the boil of Aleppo, attacks children,
usually on the face. The boil is can
cerous in nature, but disappears after
year, leaving a pronounced scar
characteristic of the citizens Of the
city.

Bible Has Many Tales !
Of PuUnacitv of Bees

The determination with which beesl
protect their deposits and their homes
is referred to by the writer's Of Deu-
teronomy 1 IA, who speaks of the de-
feat Of his people by the "Amorltes
which dwelt In that mountain, who
came out against you and chased you
as bees do" The words of Psalm
1872, They comprised me about like
bees" is also striking allusion to
their methods of attack on intruders
upon their domestlcity.
That they lay up their honey in or
about rocks was of course noticed by
Jewish writer's. Deuteronomy 81 :13,
telling us of the Almighty Gods care
for his people says among other
things, HE made him to suck honey
out of the rock" and the author of
Psalm 81 :18, declares that II those
doubling God had turned to him, HE
should have fed them also with the
finest of the wheat and with honey out
Of the rock would have satisfied
thee"
Bees are always on the lookout for
places convenient where they may
hang their honeycombs out of the way
of marauders, animal or human. 1t
will be remembered how Samson found
the skeleton of the lion he had killed
on former journey had been taken
possession of by swarm Of bees, who
had already stored honey In 1t Judges
14:8.-Montreal Family Herald.

TO OBSERVE FOUNDING OF
STARS AND STRIPES

Flag Day which this year falls on
Monday OF next week, is holiday in
the United States to commemorate
the adoption OF the Stars and Stripes
by the Continental Congress, June
IA, 1777. This patriotic anniversary
has become an important one, espec-
tally In the school calendars. Pu-
pills, with their teachers, hold appro-
pirate exercises on this day and 1t Is
proper and also generally customary
to display the flag on residences and
business houses.
Where Is your State In the ar
rangement of stars on the flag? It's
easy to locate, for, following an Ex-
ecutive Order by President Taft in
1912, the arrangement of stars was
fixed at six rows of eight stars to
each row and the States were SYM
boliZed as stars In the order of their
ratification of the Constitution and
their admission to the Union. Thus
the topmost row of stars, reading
from left to right, represent: Della
ware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Maryland and South Carolina. The
second row. New Hampshire, Virgin
la, New York, North Carolina, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Kentucky and Ten
nessee. Third row: Ohio, Louisiana,
Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Ala
bama, Maine and Missouri. Fourth
row: Arkansas, Michigan, Florida,
Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, California
and Minnesota. Fifth Row: Oregon,
Kansas, West Virginia, Nevada, Ne
braska, Colorado, North Dakota and
South Dakota. Bottom Row; Mon
tana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming,
Utah. Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Arizona.
According to reputable source.
the name "Old Glory was given to
the American flag by Captain Will
liam Driver of Salem, Mass, In 1881.
The term was his salute to beauti-
full new flag presented to his ship
when he was about to leave on a
voyage around the world.
The first recorded raising of the
flag over school, now so generally
acknowledged as an American Gus
tom, is said to have taken place on
Catamount Hill, Colrain, Massachus-
sets, in May, 1912. A suitable
monument now marks the site of this
historic old log schoolhouse.
AS early as the year 1887, recog-
nized flag of the New England colo
nists had blue field with white
hnion quartered by red cross.
such flag, with the addition of a
green pine tree in the upper inner
quarter of the union, was carried at
he battle of Bunker Hill. Another
| flag of the same design, but having
4 red field, also appears to have been
| used by the colonist troops in this
epic battle
