Flood Plumbers Nine
Is BoIstering for
Tilt With Reads
Adding Scholastic Stors
After Tavern Spoi|s
Its Clean Slate

One of the youngest but smartest
ball clubs operating in the National
City League this season, J. C. Flood
Plumbers, will be further strength
ened for Sundays important game
with Reads Pharmacy by the addi-
ton Of several players currently per-
forming for high school teams.
Entered in A section, the fast
Sunday circuit in this area, the
Plumbers are in the thick of the
flag fight, although they dropped
out of the select circle of unbeaten
teams last Sunday by losing to Tex
Tavern, 5-4. They shouldn't have
lost that one, as Manager Morton
Littman will tell you, for q base
running error cost them at least one
run.
Failed to Touch Base.
1t was early in the fray, the second
inning to be exact, when Jack Smith,
an outf1elder, stepped into a fast
breaking curve and pounded it over
into the next Ellipse lot for an ap-
parent home run. His eagle-eyed
opponents saw Smith miss first on
his way around the circuit, however,
and, retrieving the ball, threw him
out. The run may have changed the
games entire complexion.
But Littman isn't bemoaning his
boys Ill fortune. It's all part of the
game, and he figures that the cham
pionship team will lose more than
one game with competition as keen
as 1t is. Littman Is looking to the
future, confident that the influx of
high school talent will make the
Plumbers the fastest, most powerful
club in the city.
Some Formidable Talent.
The new additions will be Jack
Redinger, George Washington Fresh
man pitcher; Johnny Thrift and
Hymie Perlo, Roosevelt third sacker
and catcher, respectively; Dick Roz-
zell, Central's iron-man hurler;
Teddy Lagos, another Central star,
and Mouse" Mostow, Techs fleet
outfielder. Roosevelt's delegates
may not join the team on schedule
If the Riders win their half of the

refunding program. Stripped of the
legal wordage made necessary by
the fact that federal court approval
will be sought for the program
when it has been passed by dis
trict voters and agreed to by at
least two-thirds of outstanding
securities, the plan provides SIM
plv for maximum district assess
ment for bond purposes, for cam
collation. and reduction OF interest,
for potential reduction OF prin-
cipal. and for drainage develop
ment to protect Imperial Valley
lands.
In the plan is set up the lines
along which each point will be
worked out, and behind the frame
work of the plan is a maze OF fig
ures bewildering to any but a train
ed accountant or an expert who
has followed the districts finan-
cial procedure for years. Analysis
proves, however, that bewilder-
ment is caused by compleXity of the
irrigation district, rather than by
the refunding plan.
In its simplest form the plan
places the district in the position
of a farmer owing a large sum to
a bank. who is offered a 25 per
cent reduction in interest, is given
back large part of the money
he has saved with the intention
of having interest on which he has
defaulted, and is offered an even
tual opportunity to buy back his
own note at a discount.
The only major restriction placed
on the farmer is that he must use
the money given to him to improve
his farm.
Similarly the district has obtain
ed an agreement under which its
interest will be reduced 25 per cent,
it is given back $435,000 which it
has saved to meet legal interest
past due, and it may
eventually buy back its own secur-
tiles at market prices, which range
we'll under par.
The only major requirement Is
that the district must use the
S435. 900 for drainage development.
