the El Centrans have dropped one

cagers will enter the game favored

In some cities of the Pacific coast
league circuit, and perhaps all of
them, the customers will be rubbing
their eyes when they get their first
glimpse of the ground-keepers and
their assistants. For Solomon in
all his glory perhaps was not more
gorgeously arrayed than some of
these may be. Heretofore these
valuable but unheralded and un-
sung appurtenances of the great
national pastime have worn what
ever nondescript habilaments which
were handy, and were hardly more
scintillating to the eye than Mr.
Markham's Man With The Hoe. p"
They lent no sheen or lustre to
the otherwise beautiful picture. Now
Bill Jordan of the Angeles, Bill Lane
of the Padres and Phil c.. Barteme,
president Of the Sacramento Solons,
have announced that they will have
their ground-keepers arrayed in uni
forms, some Of which will undoubt-
edly approximate the colors OF the
rainbow. Jordan may go a step
farther and have his ground keepers
harnessed up with neon lights for
the night games. He believes that
this fire fly effect would be pleas
ing to those fans who are known
to be fond of alternating among
the bright lights.
Bill Terry, manager of the New
York Giants, did his durndest to
pay Bill Lane $4,000 in cash in the
George Myatt deal at the recent
baseball meeting in Milwaukee Lane
wouldn't listen. He insisted on
getting players in lieu of cash. Said
fans wouldn't come out to see SIS

be SO sure OF that. Anyway, Bill
will get the players.
The Pacific coast league is sched-
uled to use the same official ball
as last season. 1t will be no slower
or faster-probably a bit faster than
the new National league sphere, and
perhaps not quite as lively as the
American league ball. Last season
seemed to strike fairly satisfactory
balance between batters and pitch
erS. George Detore Of Bill Lanes
San Diego Padres led the league
with 334l, barely nosing out Harlan
Pool Of Seattle who finished with
.3340. This was the lowest percen-
tage for league leader since 1916
when Justin Fitzgerald of the San
Francisco Seals topped the hitters
with BIG. However, there was Suf-
ficient hitting to provide excite
ment, although the barrage was
more scattered. There were forty
one 300 or better hitters in the
league which was enough high ex-
plosiyes for any league, and but
ten points separated the twelve
leading hitters, which made it one
of the most exciting stick races in
the history OF the circuit. President
Tuttle canvassed the cluboWners but
found no sentiment favoring a
change incidentally, Detore was
the third catcher in the leagues
history to become the champion
batsman of the circuit, unless you
include the short period in which
the Seals tried to make a catcher
out Of Smead Jolley. The others

Tuesday night, in the Brawley
athletic club, Imperial Valleys most
promising glove artist, Manuel Or
tiz, will enter the ring as an anna
teur for the last time. His oppo-
nent in his final amateur showing
will be Kenny Mlyagi, diminutive
japanese slugger.
Ortiz boasts an unparalleled rec
ord as an amateur and has every
qualification to make an equally
impressive record as a professional
flyWeight
The valley Mexican waded
through golden glove tournament
, opposition without the loss of
round and won via the k.O. route
in every fight but two. He has
been defeated only twice in his
ring career and avenged both
whippings.
He will open his professional
career in the early part of Febru-
airy in Hollywood or the Los An
geles Olympic club.
Ortiz final amateur showing may
turn out to be his toughest fight
OF the year for his opponent, Mi
yagi, is the fastest improving anna
teur in the valley. He nearly kayo-
ed Bobbie Hagar in BraWley last
week and has gone undefeated in
ten starts
The Japanese battler hits with
either hand and though not an
extraordinary defensive fighter is
fast enough to be elusive. Whether
or not Ortiz can land his k.o
punches will determine the out
come of the fight.
Ell Centro junior collegian bas-
ketball players will settle down to
routine practice this week in prep
aration for games in the near tu-
ture against BraWley j. c., Phoe-
nix j. c., San Diego State fresh
man and Oceanside junior college.
The Arabs showed to an advan-
tage in their game against the
Broadway Colored Clowns We'd
nesday night and should win the
majority of their remaining ball
games.
Ross Blakely, star forward, has
been the pace setter for the Ju-
nior college in recent games and
is fast developing into one of
the best ball players to don a
j. c. uniform.
Blake1y, though not another Ar
chic Drernen, is capable and
dependable ball player. He is left
handed and his shots from the
SouthpaW side have won more than
one game for the Arab cagers.
That gale you noticed Thursday
afternoon was really Curley Vesey
stormirg around the Barbara
Worth links in a par-busting SO.
And the thunder around about SUM-
set, was VeSey celebrating. The
Barbara Worth pro blanketed a
hot fourSome with his three-under-
par performance, but lost the
match!
Ted Graham, with four brides
on the back nine, saved the match
for himself and his partner, Wayne
Elvander. Graham and Elvander
matched a best ball of Ct while
VeSey and Jersey Birchfield had to
be content with best ball of 68.
