improved lightweight in the state.
Jure is anxious to tangle with
Hogue and definitely prove his
claim that he can whip any light
weight in Imperial Valley.
Bigboy Hogue will meet Jack
Bacca in the semi-windup and Ely
Flowers will tackle Smoky Coggins
in the sixth bout.
Bacca is a new BOY in the light
weight ranks but has chalked up a
string of kayoeS which tab him as
one of the best in his division. Big
boy is hard to hit, however, and is
favored to take a comparatively
easy victory over the Ontario bat
tier.
Flowers will meet a tough foe
in Coggins and unless he is in good
shape will bow to the sailor.

We had picked up at the ninth.
Actually, we did play the full
eighteen and passed in our custom
airy returns, N. c., which in any
other state means no card but
down here means North Carolina.
McLemore thought it would be best
not to have the cards posted be-
cause most of the field had not
started by the time we finished, and
if the others saw our scores they
would consider the course too diff
cult and not play.
Ordinarily I am a pretty fair
golfer, never more than ITO under
good conditions, and usually a stroke
or two better in competition. But
I couldn't keep my mind on my
game. | was too fascinated watch

piccolo player lingering the port
holes. Once the fingers are quic-
scent. the footWork begins. Placing
his feet for stance, McLemore
does a dance that Fred AStaire
couldn't manage, even if stung by
bee. 1t is a cross between a
rhumba, the double shuttle, and
pure restlessneSS.

Ell CentrO High
Imperial TangIe

Baseball candidates in five val
ley high schools began to practice
in earnest today as the opening Of
the high school beseball schedule
is only two weeks away.
Ell Centre and Imperial high
schools clash Wednesday afternoon
in practice game on the Ell Gen.
tro diamond. Imperial high has
not played any games thus far in
the season and strength of the Tig-
er nine is unknown.
El Centre high looked strong in
two games against CaleXico, despite
the fact they took a pair of beat
ings at the hands of the Bulldog
diamondeerS.
Brawley high school has defeated
two Brawley town teams in practice
games. The Wildcats starred in
the field but lacked punch at the
plate. Nick Ellis nicked the corners
of the plate consistently and DEM
onstrated Coach Clark's nine will
make a serious bid for the title
this season.
Calipatria is untried thus far
the season. Reports indicate the
Hornets will have a stronger team
than they put in tn field last sea-
son, but it will have to be a whole
lot better to make any showing.

Officials for
Ball Loop
Meet Tonite

Hopes for definite steps in the
formation of a nightbaD league in
Fl Centre this season were revived
today when it was learned the new
ly appointed board of nine men,
bers would submit list of concrete
ideas for drafting a schedule and
the carrying out of league business
at their meeting in the fire hall
at 7;30 tonight.
Most of the board members con-
tacted were in favor of playing
league games in the new municipal
park and indicated a plan would be
worked out whereby the city could
afford TO keep up the park.
Other members of the board in
dicated they would back a plan
to eliminate the city league this
season and maintain only a valley
loop. 2 league officials were ex-
pected to attend the meeting to
discuss B loop schedule.

PINEHURST, N. c., April 6. UH
Two days ago, in one of the most
brilliant monographs ever to flow
from my pen (and when l say FLOW
from my pen" I mean hammered
from my portable') I renounced
professional baseball and adopted
golf as my career.
Yesterday I played in my first
important tournament-the north
and south championship at Pine
hurst. Knowing that it would be
bad taste 10 describe my own round,
/ arranged to have Linde Fowler of
the Boston Transcript, the dean of
American golf writer's, play with me

As we walked down the 18th

Sherman Indian Schools anna
teur fight team which handed val
ley boxers four defeats in seven
bouts last week will be back in Ell
Centro Thursday to chalk up more
victories and add more scalps TO
their already overcrowded belts.
Eddie Moore, middleweight
champion of the school and rated
the outstanding fighter in the
school will seek victory over I'M
perial Valleys middleweight cham
pion. Herman Graves, in the main
event.
Moore has hung up wins over
every middleWeight in the school
and holds a two-round k. o. over
Pete Reed, the man who defeated
Birmingham last week.
Joe Villegas will attempt to add
another Indian to his victory string
when he clashes with Tommy
Young in the semi-windup. Young
took a questionable decision over
Bigboy Hogue last week and may
be able to stop the valley Mexican
lightweight.
Mike Castillo, Brawley fighter,
will be pitted against Doug Wilson
in the sixth battle. Castillo lacks
experience but is an entertaining
fighter. Wilson is powerful punch
er but has not been in the game
long enough to build up a good de-
fensive style.
Sylvester Lucio will take on Uley
Davis in one of the feature events
of the evening and Loudermilk,
Childers and Luckadoo will meet

HERMAN GRAVES TO TEST CF CHAMPION
BENCH WARMING
BY Burdette Kinne

As is customary with the opening
of the amateur fight season, mana
gers of the several battlerS hail
their men as the most improved
fighters in the business.
OF course, all but one of the
managers are incorrect. but try to
tell one of them that he has over
estimated the ability of his battler
is worse than insulting him and
it is likely to result in skirmish
with him and his stable of fighters.
Watching the amateur fighters
swing through their motions in the
opening card of the season, Joltmg
Joe Villegas appears to have the
inside track OH the honor this sea-
son.
VilIegas has developed left
lab which makes him one of the
most dangerous fighters in the
lightweight ranks. He hits with
tremendous power and is strong
enough to be effective in the
clincheS.
Against Menta last week VlllegaS
won the decision in the clinches.
His short. powerful uppercuts wore
down the Indian in the opening
rounds and as a result Villegas
breezed to victory in the final two
StanzaS.
Thursday night Villegas will tam
gle with Tommy Young. Young
won a questionable decision over
Bigboy Hogue last week and IS
second only to Martinez among the
lightweights at the Indian school.

New Attack Speeds
Hunt for Pirate
BY KINGSBURY SMITH


LONDON, Sept. 3 d.N.SJ.
Squirting widespread search by
warships of four nations for the
phantom submarines" preying on
neutral shipping in Mediterranean
waters, sinking Of the 3,1O0ton
Soviet cargo steamer Blagoev was
disclosed today.
Dispatches from Athens said the
freighter was sunk in the upper
reaches OF the Aegean Sea on
Wednesday by a Submersible
allegedly flying the Spanish ma
tionalist flag.
FLEET REINFORCED
The sunken Soviet steamer was
first reported to have been the
Molokiev, a vessel which appears
in no shipping registries. 1t was
believed here the original Molokiev
reports were erroneous and that
the Blagoev was the ship sunk.
In view of the continued depre-
dationS by mystery submarines,
terrorizing neutral shipping in the
Mediterranean, the British admi-
rally decided to carry out its fleet
reinforcements there without fur
ther delay. :
1t was understood the admiralty
ordered. four destroyers detached
from the western Mediterranean
fleet and from the home fleet
flotilla engaged in the noninter.
vention patrol around SPANS
coast.
These 10 vessels were instructed
to join in a submarine chasing
unit that is determined to bring TO
light and sink the mad dog" sub
mersibles that sank two neutral
merchant ships and attacked a
British warship within a period of
48 hours.
The eleventh division of the
sixth destroyer flotilla was ordered
to sail from England today. This
division, consisting of the Fury.
Forester, Firedrake and Fortune,
will join the pirate submarine
hunt, replacing other destroyers
which will be attached temporarily
to the submarine chasing unit
pending arrival of the eleventh di-
vision in the Mediterranean.
