SO, which now is regarded as an
interstate highway joining the
states of Montana, Idaho Nevada
and California, have realized the
greatly increased value of their road
if it could be extended southwark
through the Republic of Mexico
from its American terminus at
Calexico, California.
Meetings have been held with
Mexican officials and much interest

TODAY'S
SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, July Is. U.P)-The
prestige of that baseball institution
known as the spring training camp
is taking an awful kicking around
from Charles (Rufus the Red) Ruff
fling this year.
Every time Manager Joe Nc
Carthy, from the depths of his in
finite wisdom, sends Charles out
to pitch for the Yankees. Charles
proceeds to win. The latest statis-
tical bulletin reveals that he has q
seasons record of eleven victories
against two defeats, which is as
sparkling as your favorite tigers
eyes.
If the spring training camp
business were as vital as base
balls wise men would have us
believe it is, Charles should have
the inglorious record of no wins
and thirteen losses. Because
&HdTttS ntftf saw the ustuc VI
one this year. When the cali came
for the Athletes to depart TO
southern climes, Ruffing was
busily engaged in holding out for
more money from his home in
Nokomis, Illinois. And he con-
tinued TO hold out until middle
May, and never was any nearer
training camp than his own
front yard.
Not one shaft of Florida sun
shine, with its beneficient vitamir
rays. touched his torso. He lollec
on no beaches. sucked no oranges
bought no lamps made from conch
shells. played no golf, caught no
fish In short. he enjoyed none OF
Imperial Valley press., 1937-07-16

the training camp routine which
is supposed to ready man for a
season of big league play.
He just sat at his desk in Noko-
mis-, in the chill Of an Illinois early
spring, and wrote spiteful letters
to Jake Rupert. That was his
sole exercise-that and running
down to the corner grocery, the
barber shop. the post-office and
the movies.
When Ruffing finally joined the
Yankees in New York in May, the
baseball critics sadly shook their
heads.
"Why he isn't even sunburnedi"
they said. HE will be lucky to
win five games this year"
They prophesied Rulings arm
would be as full of kinks as a Bush
mans hair, his legs as unstable as
gelatin. and his timing as unsure as
an indoor sun dial.
They were all wrong and Ruffing.
from the first time he toed the
slab, had all the stuff on the ball
he ever had, and little bit more
AS result, I see but one conclu-
sion to draw:
That spring training camps are
chiefly a fine publicity dodge for
baseball and the chambers of com
merce where the teams train.
Which is perfectly all right, of
course. Your true baseball Filbert
probably would go crazy if he
had to do without any word OF
his heroes from the time the
world series ends in October and
the season starts in April. BY
March he is almost wild for stories
and pictures of the noble athletes.
He isn't particular what kind of
stories and pictures they are,
either. He viii devour articles
telling how much weight Short
stop Joe Doakes lost over the
winter, and where Rightfielder
Ben Glutz went moose hunting.
And ne will feast his eyes on
pictures of the athletes playing
catch on the beach, shinnying
up a grapefruit tree, and eashing
a So ticket at a dog track.
The spring training camps pro-
vide him with these stories ane
pictures, and work up his enthu-
siasm to such pitch that by the
time the season rolls round moth
ing short OF violence could prevent
his being in the grandstand for the

Slve scheme which embraced the
States setting up its own insurance

The main portion of the plan was
beaten by an extremely effective and
intensive campaign by the big insur-

ence around the legislature.
The rear guard, so to speak, was
crushed largely by opposition based
upon the idea that the proposed plan

For small plants, he added, this kind
of top-dressing is preferable to nitrate

more high, three to five pounds of
nitrate of soda should be applied to
each 100 square yards of plant bed.

The second big defeat came, how
ever, when the Senate removed this
provision and re-wrote the section as
it now stands, so that no units other
than administrative districts may levy
supplemental taxes. These districts
are now the counties and the cities
