"Patty's settled down now" Helen
said. She has grown up and SO
has her game. Remember how ner-
yous and fidgety she was when
playing a match? How she used to
take five minutes TO line up a putt
and how she used to walk clear tc
the green before making iron shots?
Well, she's finished with that sort
of business now. She steps up to the
ball yanks club, and hits it. And
how she does hit IT, Honestly, l
never saw such a perfectly grooy-
ed swing or such accuracy. Every
shot she hits, no matter the club,
is dead on the flag all the way.
Her only fault, and it isn't a bad
one, is that the trajectory of all
her shots is too low. She needs a
bit more loft, especially on hef

CHICAGO, Aug. "a CUP)-The
National league pennant race, us
ually raging at white heat at this
stage of the campaign, is gradually
disintegrating into one of those
what of it and who cares" affairs.
Pittsburgh cut its lead to five
games yesterday by dividing dou
bleheader with Boston Bees While
the second place New York Giants
were humping the Chicago Cubs in
a single game. Johnny Lanning held
the Pirates to six hits for a Go
victory in the opener. An error by
Relief Pitcher Dick Erickson en-
abled the Pirates to salvage the
second game, 4-3, in Ia innings.
Scoring six runs in the first in
ming off Larry French and Jack
Russell, the Giants triumphed over
the Cubs, 6-2
Lloyd Moore's five hit pitching
featured Cincinnati's 80 victory
over the Phillies and strengthened
the Reds hold on third place, six
and one half games behind the
Pirates In the other National lea
que game the st. Louis Cardinals
won rom Brooklyn, 81. Terry
Moore hit a homer with the bases
loaded.
The Boston Red Sox moved into
second place in the American league
by takin a twin bill from the Cleve-
land Indians, 1873 and 14-12. In
the opener the Red Sox slugged out
81 hits while Fritz Ostermeuller
held The Indians to nine. Jimmy
Foxx's ninth inning homer with
the bases loaded enabled the SoX
to come from behind in the night
cap.
The New York Yankees divided
a doubleheader with the Chicago
White Sox and held their liz game
lead. Lee pitched the White Sox
TO a 11-3 win in the opener. Lou
Gehrig's 25th homer with a mate
on base featured the Yank's vic
tory in the second game.

With the advent of cooler wealth
er, described by the weatherman
as unusual, attention again turns
to the opening of football season
in the nation More than a
share of attention of valley fans
is concentrated on the football
race in Imperial Valleys high
school league =.
Last seasons nigh school race
ended in four-way tie when Cal
exico upset e Centro in the final
game of the season ;.
Though it's unlikely the football
race viii end in a four-way tie
this year, it is probable the league
race will be nearly as close as last
season.
Brawley, Calexico and Ell Centre
are rated about even on paper
Holtville is a close second
Backfield strength looms as the
deciding point at the present mo-
ment and because Calexico has an
advantage in that department the
Bulldogs must be rated a shade
higher than Brawley and El Cen
Holtville, despite the fact Jack
Gray will be the nucleus of the
machine, is not rated as high as
last season The team as a
whole will be lighter and several
lettermen will not return &.
Among them is all-yalley end Gene
Woodland
Brawley will have a line equally
as strong as last seasons forward
wall, but the backfield will again
be weak Several underclass-
men may fill the bill at the run
ming positions, and there are still
a couple of Sasakis around to pass
Ell Centro will be two deep in
every line position but, like Braw-
ley, the Spartans will lack offen-
sive strength
Damron, Gillette, Ernie zinn and
Vernon Baker, mainstays of the
backfield, graduated Coach
Larry Hansen will have to depend
on inexperienced Walter Price as
his ball carrier
Hansen, however, wrought near
miracles with as little material on
his basketball team last season, so
the Spartans may show up with a
powerful scoring backfield
Calexico has a tested line and
two tried backfieldmen. The Cal
exico forward wall with Amador.
Yturalde, Medina, and GARLIC as
a nucleus, viii be equally as strong
as FL Centre and Brawley lines
Ted Sander, who personally de-
feated Ell Centro in the Thanks
giving day game last season, and
al Mendoza will make the strong
est backfield combination in the
valley. Two other backfieldmen will
return to strengthen that depart
ment -.
In Imperial high school Coach
Sheldon Loughborough will open
his second year of football The
teams will be restricted TO the val
ley B league The Imperial
team made a good showing in that
league last season and should build
up TO the point where the Tigers

seemed to know what it was all
about.
When 600 dinner was on and
w. H. Britt was seated at first
table" it looked suspicious, for
he is always "Outside guard" and
nobody gets by without the pass
word.
Soon Mrs. Britt came in with a
huge cake, big as "meetin'-
house" and set it down in front
of the host all covered with tiny
candles lie. the cake was span
gled with meager tapers) and then
the guests rose like a flock of
quail in a buckwheat patch and
sang "Happy birthday to You"
Then they shouted, speech,
Spccchw and while the women
blew the sc candles out, Mr.. Britt
in fewer words, by half, than Lin
coin used at Gettysburg, gave
them philippe that for suavity
and sense is seldom cXccllrd. He
hit the nail on the head and every
body applauded.
