HIGHWAY BODY
HEARS PLEA OF
COUNTY GROUP
Continuation OF Work
On Highway 81
Sought

Requesting that the work of re-
constructing and oiling the Nogales-
Fort Huachuca highway be con-
tinued during the fiscal year be-
ginning July /, a delegation from
Santa Cruz county appeared be-
fore the Arizona Highway Com
mission at Phoenix Monday.
Members of the delegation were
Senator E. F. Bohlinger, Patagonia;
f. T. Frazier, chairman of the
Board of Supervisors; Victor j..
Wager, Sr., and Craig Pottinger.
Senator Bohlinger acted as chief
spokesman for the group and at his
suggestion a letter was read from
Col. L. D. Davis, commandant at
Fort Huachuca, stressing the i'm
portance of State Highway 81 (No-
eales-Fort Huachuca) as military
highway.
The Senator also stressed the inn
portance of the read from a mill
tary standpoint, mtimating that If
any European power in these troub-
lesome times should get foothold
On the west coast of Mexico and
threaten Nogales, troops could be
rushed here quicker over a paved
road from Huachuca.
Supervisor r. T. Frazier asked
that the present work on the Pata-
gonia road be continued with WPA
labor

1T was decided" said Secretary
Sellers that rather than ask for
an appropriation from the legisla-

more appropriate tribute to permit
his many friends, by each making
a small contribution, to participate
in this gesture of affection and re-
spect.
ITO enable a greater number of
persons to share IN this activity the

Bat in s. D. Game,
Gets Five Hits

They called it Bob Feller day" at
the San Diego baseball park Sum-
day as the Cleveland fire-baller
hurled for San Diego against an
all-star team from Los Angeles,
but to Imperial Valley fans it was
Bob Elliott day.
Elliott, former Ell Centre high
school student and more recently
member of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
combined his hitting with Feller's
pitching to give the San Diegans
a So win. Elliott continued his
hitting in the second game, which
San Diego won, 6-1.
Elliott, batting in the cleanup
spot, hit single, triple and a home
run in the first game, two singles
in the second.
Bob Feller famed ten batters in
the So victory.

fact, it is not alfalfa, clover, or
even, wheat. 1t is money, big mon
ey; such big money that even a
club as rich as the Yankees could
use it.
But to the credit of the Yankees,
there isn't a man in the vast or
ganization that would have it 9TH
erwise. When Colonel Jake Rup-
pert was alive he led the cheering
for clean sweep of a series. He
resented any and all Yankee de-
feats, even though many of them
were worth a small fortune to him.
His successors have inherited his
attitude. Ed Barrow wants the
Yanks to win as quickly as pos
sible. So does George Weiss and
all the other executives.
The team wants victories, too,
and Just as fast as they can get
them. They know that the big
blue flag with world Champions"
lettered on it means more to the
men who pay them than few hun
dred thousand dollars. Their spirit
is that of college team, a re-
markable fact when you remem-
ber that each and every Yankee
is a business man, working at base
ball Just as bankers work at bank
ing, farmers at farming, and shoe
clerks at shoe -cIerking. It's liv-
ing to them, but they work at it
as if they were playing game.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 9. (UP)-
Perfection is very expensive. The
New York Yankees have proved
that.
Their victory over the Cincinnati
Reds yesterday, which gave them
the Worlds series and the cham
pionship of the world in four
straight games, cost the owners of
the team pretty penny-and I
mean very pretty penny
Had the series gone seven games
the New York club would have
profited to the tune of 100000,
because each game after four has
been played in worth roughly, $780,
900. Few persons know it, but the
owners of a club that sweeps a
World Series lose money on the
event.
The owners get nothing until
four games have been played. Up
until that point the sWag goes to
the players in the main, with a
small amount being side-tracked
into Judge Lands office. No one
has ever explained this division,
but it is understood that it was
adopted as guarantee that the
players would be honest and give
their level best to win as quickly
as possible. You get what I mean
if the players shared in all the
games some black sheep might
attempt 10 make the series go the
entire route.
In the past IL years the Yankees
have been in seven World Series,
or a possible 40 games. But in those
series they played 81 games. They
swept the series in 1927 1923, and
1882. They played six in 1886, five
in 1887, and only eight in 1888 and
1899.
That means that by their SUI
periority the Yankees have cost
their sowners something close to
100000 since 1927. Two million
dollars is not hay; as a matter OF

Oregon Grid Teams,
U.S.C., Bruins Loom
As Coast Powers

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9. (UP)-
The state of oregon and the south
ern end of California could claim
the best football teams on the Pa
cific coast today on the basis OF
scattered returns over period of
two weekends, as conference ele-
yens headed for further stiff tests.
University of Oregon, oregon
State College, Southern California
and University of California at Los
Angeles emerged from the confus-
ed gridiron picture with a small
but definite edge over other con-
ference teams. Among the inde-
pendents, st. Mary's College ap-
peared to be the No. power
Three conference games are sche-
duled for next Saturday. U. C. L. A.
looking better every game, meets
the poor Stanford Cardinals at
Palo Alto with the Bruins appar-
emily due to win again. Last Sat-
urday U. C. L. A. trimmed Wash
ington 14-7 while Stanford was
losing 100 to Oregon.
Oregon meets California at Ber-
kelley Saturday in what will be the
first conference game for the Bears
and probably their now-or-never
chance to show they're still enter
ed in the sweepstakes. California
lost its second consecutive nom
conference game Saturday to St.
Mary's 7-3, but looked little bet
ter than it did in losing to College
of Pacific the week before.
U. S. c.. apparently beginning to
perform as advertised before the
season started, takes on an inter-
sectional opponent, Illinois, at Los
Angeles. The Trojans turned on the
power last Saturday to trounce
Washington State 27-0 and are fast
getting back into the favorite's po-
sition despite the TT tie with Ore
gon. 9-
Washington and Washington
State, after lamentable' starts
against out-of-state foes will turn
on each other Saturday in their an
nual backyard scrap, this time at
Pullman. At Butte, Montana and
Montana State do similar act. Ore

squeeze with Idaho but which still

home runs in there. Keller, also
left handed hitter, took one look
at that set-up and decided it was
his dish.
Two HOmers
On Saturday he broke out with
two homers and yesterday he got
another If you are looking for
hero of this series take Mr.. Keller.
You won't find any better one. But
he didn't have to carry the whole
burden when it became a slugging
match. Those tried and true nome
run veterans, Joe DiMaggio and
Bill Dickey, had the range, too, and
it became downright dangerous TO
occupy a seat in the bleachers
when the Yankees were at bat.
Saturday for instance, the Yam
KEGS got only five hits, but four
of them were home runs.
Yesterday Keller helped himself
to another homer and Dickey got
one, too, just to keep in practice
for the start of the 1910 season.
The pay-off on Yankee power
really came Yesterday. They were
faced by the two best pitchers OF
the Cincinnati club-Paul Derringer
and Bucky Walters, perhaps the
two best pitchers in the National
league. But they whaled away at
Walters and Derringer as though
they were a pair of kids, fresh out
of the bushes.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-10-09

natl went into mourning for the
Reds that the Yankees of 1938-39
are one of the greatest ball teams
ever put together. No one doubts
that they are the most versatile.
If you want to play close, heads
up baseball behind a classy pitcher,
they will beat you at that. If you
want to risk everything on defense,
they will surpass you afield, and
if you want to slug with them
well, that is like drawing a sharp,
new razor across your throat. r.
Derringer Stars .s. &C.
The remarkable thing in the SER
les that just ended is the way the
Yankees can adapt themselves to
any situation. In the first game in
New York, the Reds came up with
Paul Derringer, who did courag-
eous job of pitching. He pitched
we'll enough to VIM five of any
seven bali games whether they were
played in the World Series or not.
But Manager Joe Mccarthy of the
Yankees called on Rufus the Red
Ruffing with the result that the
Reds looked at high class pitching
such as they seldom see in the
National league.
1t was the same story in the Sec
ond game. Bucky Walters, with a
battling sinker ball, figured to be
tough man for the Yanks to beat
Mccarthy knew he was going to
have to get good pitching so he
trotted out Monte Pearson, a frail
sort of fellow who has great knack
of coming through when the chips
are down. Pearson subdued the
Reds with a two hitter-the best
pitched game of the series.
Then the series shifted to the
west and the Reds were on home
grounds where they figured to hit
better. And they did, but the Yam
KEGS rose up and matched and out
matched at the slugging. Mccarthy
unveiled his super-special for 1899
"a swarthy kid named Charlie Kel-
Ter who is only one year out OF
the minor leagues.
Keller had given some indication
of what might happen when he
smote mighty triple in the first
game in New York. But that was
mild compared to what he aid out
here. Two years ago home plate in
Crosley Field was moved closed to
the right field bleachers in the hope
that Ival Goodman would drop
