Bench Warming
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor

EDITORS NOTE: This is the
second in series of three articles
in which the Bench Warmer will
list the comparative strength of
league baseball teams, Today. the
National league.
SECOND EDITORS NOTE: These
articles are written for the salts
faction cf the writer. even If no
one else appreciates them.
1t is always safe to say the Ma
hotly contested. Sports writers
have been saying that for several
years and then settled back to
watch four clubs battle for the pen-
nant. Each year their predictions
have been right. 1t wasn't always
the four clubs they predicted but
you have to admit the races were
close.
The National league race this
season. however. will not"be as close
as it has been in past seasons.
Chicago and New York will fight
it out for the title but the rest of
the teams apparently are in this
years race, only for the ride.
Here. according to all statistics
I can gather. will be the final Ma
tional league standings:
l. New Yerk
2. Chicago
3. Cincinnati
4. Pittsburgh
). st. Louis
6. Brooklyn
!. Boston
8. Philadelphia.
The Cubs, under a new managerial
system, will start fast but the pitch
ing staff, headed by Bryant Par
melee, Lee, Carelton and French,
won't stand up under the strain in
the final drive
The Giants, however, may suffer
under the same final drive and col
lapse faster and more seriously in
the stretch.

TRACK TEAMS STRENGTHENED FOR RELAYS
PHOENIX RATED
.FAVORITE IN
ANNUAL Ev vENT

Valley league high school track
coaches Thursday sought ways and
means of strengthening their teams
for the annual Holtville relays in
Holtville Friday night at 7:30.
The entry of Phoenix high school
into the meet has reduced the val
ley teams to the status of also-rans
in the pre-meet betting, and Coach
es Hansen and Taylor of El Centro,
Mcintyre of Brawley and Walker
of Holtville, have redoubled efforts
to speed up relay teams.
Twelve teams In all will COM
pete in the meet Friday. Each
school will have at least 80 athletes
entered in the three classes Phoe-
nix will bring As.
The Glass A, B, and c points will
be totaled in the point standings
so wins in the B and c events will
count equally as much as the var
sity victories.
For that reason Holtville, Braw-
ley and Ell Centro are expected to
run all Glass B men in their own
division instead of running them
in varsity races as previously
scheduled.
Medley relays, shuttle hurdle re-
lays, distance relays and just plain
relays will be included in the list
of events. Shot put, pole vault
and dashes will also be on the
event list.
Schools entered in the meet are,
Holtville, Brawley, Ell Centre, Impe-
rial, Mt. Empire, Phoenix, Yuma,
Coachella, Brown, Vista, Coronado,
| GroSSmont.

BRAWLEY HIGH
TRIMS CENTRAL
BALL g II TO 10

Brawley high school baseball
team Wednesday proved its super
iority over Ell Centros Spartans by
pounding out a 1910 victory with
their second team in the field.
The Wildcats took a liking 20
Pitcher Earl Smiths offerings in
the first inning and connected for
seven runs. After the first inning
the game resembled a cricket game
more than baseball, SO numerous
were the scores.
Umpire Pat Patterson wore his
lungs out calling balls and strikes,
the score keeper finally dulled his
pencil marking runs, hits and er-
rors and Coaches Taylor and Frs
kline pulled out most of their hair
when their charges committed mis-
plays.
Lloyd Edgar was the only Ell Gen.
tro player with a perfect record.
He pitched the final inning and re-
tired Brawley with no hits and no
runs and famed two batters.

TAMPA, ria, Marcn 81. UP
A Mr.. E. G. Brands of the Sporting
News. a weekly which advertis IS
itself as the baseball paper of
the world has written and asked
that I send him my major league
selections for the 1888 season.
Mr. Brands must be in earnest,
and not pulling some sort of gag
on me. because he enclosed a self
addressed envelope all equipped
with a fresh stamp. and branded
with this important lettering:
Rush to the Sporting News
This envelope for quick action"
So you can see that Mr.. Brands
really wants my choices, and wants
them in hurry. 1t is apparent he
believes that what 1 have to say
about the National and American
leagues is important, and that he
feels his paper would not be "the
baseball paper of the world" #
my contribution were missing.
Frankly, 1 can't figure Mr..
Brands out. Where has he been all
these years? Has he spent the last
10 years of his life, when I was
busy establishing myself as the
original fog-bound forecaSter, as
a trappist monk? Hasn't he spoken
to anyone and hasn't anyone spok-
en- to him? Or has he a mad on
with the owners of his paper and
decided to ruin the sheets repu-
tation in one fell swoop? Or is Mr..
Brands, without my knowledge,
under some deep obligation TO me
and feels as if he must include me
in the crowd of knowing experts?
Whatever the reason. Mr.. Brands
request has given my morale the
biggest shot in the arm since that
time on the train when the con-
ductor told Mama that 1 was big
enough and enough of a man to
start paying full fare. have been
walking around the Tampa Terrace
hotel, where all the baseball ex-
perts are quartered, with chin held
high and my chest out I stop all
the experts and, whipping out Mr..
Brands request, say:
'Didja get a letter from Brands?
Guess I better answer it, huh?
Wants to run what 1 think about

zine. No, no drink for me. Think
I'll run up TO my room and run

I am not going to tell Mr.. Brands

win last year. No use worrying him,

After all, l didn't write him try

and sent Mr. Brands a set of pre-
