SOftball leaders, the column

fact that the sport is losing i.s

are probably many reasons for the
lack of interest during the past
two seasons but why should the
officials just sit around and Won

don't they get out and do some

as it did a couple of years ago?
What can be done? Well. when
baseball and football interest
sagged, officials opened up the
game. Made faster and more
exciting games. In basketball the
same thing was accomplished.
Managers of clubs and league
officials in Los Angeles have star

a notch nearer the valley league
championship ana a chance to en-
ter the CIF. playoffs Wednesday
night when the Spartans defeated
CaleXico high school cagers,. 1925,
in a game played in the Brawley

The Spartans played spotty ball

and Poole were outstanding in pass

NEW YORK, Feb. II CUP) =
japanese enthusiasm from the
Olmpic games planned for Tokyo
in 1910 is swinging back from the
low point reached when it appear
ed that the games might be aban-
doned because of the Sino-Japa-
nese hostilities.
This information reached me to-
day in a letter from my old friend
and colleague, Harold Thompson,
of the United Press bureau in the
Japanese capital. Without your
permission / am going to print the
letter, with its interesting data on
the games.
There still remains a possibility
that Japan may forego the honor
and prestige of conducting the
games here. But the sponsors of
Olympiad are going ahead with
their plans, confident that peace
will have returned to the Far East
in two years and that the games
will prove a valuable tonic for a
war weary people.
only a small amount of con-
sruction has been done, in prepara-
ton for the Olmpiad, but the or
ganiZerS are expecting to speed up
their activities this spring and
summer A great amount of paper
ork has been accomplished and
officials say they have plenty OF
time to translate plans into actu-
alities.
The first construction work
thus far has been on the rowing
course. located along the Ara river
on the outskirts of Tokyo. The
course is being carved largely out
of land and when completed will
be a 1000 meter lane edged by
high dykes and watered by the
river There will be a boathouse
capable of handling 10 racing
shells and a grandstand for 5000
spectators.
All the games except the win
ter sports would be held in Tokyo
beginning probably in August
That is Japan's hottest month ano
there may be a move to alter the
dates to avoid the .eneryating heat
The main Olmpic stadium viii
be developed around the present
Meiji stadium, whose seating cap.
acity is to be increased from 10000
to 10000 at a cost of about 4,800,-
900 yen.
The Olympic village will be
near Setagaya,. a long way from
the bright lights Of Tokyos down
town district. Work on the village
has not been stared. The eques-
trian, cycling. skating, wrestling
and other events will be held il
places appropriately enlarged ano

The winter program will be held
IN Sapporo, to the north.
Housing conditions in Tokyo
are inadequate for the number of
visitors expected. Several new
hotels are under construction but
others, which were planned in the
first flush of enthusiasm when the
games were awarded to Tokyo,
have been given up because of the
war in China.
The projected eight-story addi-
ton to the famous Imperial hotel
was one of the buildings tempor-
arily abandned. There is doubt
whether it can be completed by the
time of the games.
Professor Jigoro Kama. head of
the japanese delegation to the In

has departed Professor Kama will

After reading the summary made
by the bearded gent, the Bench
Warmer is inclined to agree with
him. After all, softball should not
be allowed TO die a natural death
and maybe the above suggestions
are just the medicine to bring back
a summer sport to Imperial Valley.
We have good baseball park, a

not capitalize on our assets through
sport that once ruled supreme
