There's something about being
the favored team that is undesirable
in the valley league and more than
once that favored position has cost
a favored team the championship,
Point for Favorite
In the first place other league
teams point for the game against
the favorites. Secondly, there is
always the danger of swell head
edness among the players.
So it's easy to guess why valley
coaches continually dodge the issue
when questioned about comparative
strength of their clubs, and it is
also obvious why valley league
teams generally play under wraps
in preseason games.

running and strategy are all per-
feet and they should be kept intact
if only to serve as a model. Come
to think of it, how would you go
about breaking up the Yankees?
They apparently always have
a crop of stars ready with which
to make requirements. The loss
of Ruth, Lazzeri and Gehrig didn't
slow them down. And now you
hear, and from expert and un-
biased judges, that they Rave a
second baseman named Priddy who
is as good as Gordon; a shortstop
in Rizzutto who can do all the
things that Crosetti can and little
more; and that in youngster
named Chartak they have a first
baseman who fields as well as Dahl
gren and who can knock the fences
down at the plate.
The No. unSung hero of the
series was Art Fletcher, Yankee
third base coach. Art did a
magnificent job of handling the
base-runners and extracted the last
bit of advantage from Cincinnati
mistakes, mental and physical. ..

style. The three Reds who fought
right down to the last ditch, and
showed class while doing it, were

ionship, secretly of course, yet Cal
exico has lost two straight games.
Brawley?
In Brawley Coach Loughborough
has decried the poor showings of
his wildcats, yet observers believe
Brawley has the best front line in
the valley and coaches claim Lough-
borough is holding back in practice
games. Brawley goes again Friday
night against Redlands.
Holtville has failed to show any
great possibilities in its only prac-
tice game and Coach T. S. Walker
predicts his team will be lucky to
finish in the same league with
other valley teams.
Yet in Brawley, Calexico and Ell
Centre. they claim that Holtville
is suffering a severe case of jitters
at the present time and that the
Vikings will soon snap out of it.
The Vikings get another chance
Friday night against Hoover Jay

A sad story
Coach Hanson of Ell Centre tells
a sad story. In the first place his
team holds that undesired favored
position. The Ell Centre line, Henson
will tell you, is lousy. His backfield
is average. j
But in Brawley, Calexico, and
Holtville you hear: .,-
Hanson has the best line in the
valley. His backfield is by far the
finest Ell Centre has boasted since
1881. (The backfield will get its
first stiff test Friday night against
Sweetwater)
Thus it goes, in Ell Centro Ell Cen
tro is weak, In other valley towns
the Spartans are declared to be un-
beatable, and so on down the line
From all of this we can look for
another four team race in the val
ley league. -

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. CUP)-
Final notes, sweet and blue, on the
world series: if you are one of those
persons who can't sleep on a train,
I suggest that you always plan to
make the trip with the Yankees
when they are returning from a
four-game sweep of the World
Series. You'll have plenty OF
company all during your wakeful
hours. The only people who suf-
fered on the Yankee train coming
from Cincinnati were those un-
fortunates who can sleep on trains
and wanted to. They didn't have
any more chance than the Reds
did. The return trip was not
without its educational advantages
however. 1t was interesting to
see a train taken apart as metho-
ideally as that one was. &. What
ever the Yanks do they do thor
oughly, even to celebrating. .
The Yankees were high-high in
their praises of Paul Derringer, not
only as a pitcher but as a sports
man. He alone of all the Reds
came in the Yankees dressing room
after the last game and congratu-
lated and shook hands with each
player. The umpiring was the
best the series has seen in many
years, with the Messrs. Reardon
MCGOWAN, Summers and Pinelll
doing such a good job that the
players didn't get chance to use
half of their fine vocabularieS on
them. 1t seems to me that the
best argument to use against some
one who suggests that the Yankees
be broken up is that with thousands
of teams playing the National game
there should be at least one which
plays the game as it should be
played. The Yankees are that
team. Their hitting, fielding

nixians and managed to get &c

with Gray. Sander, Marvin Walker
and Earl Walker to form a back
field and with a line composed of
a host of rugged footballers, the
Arab eleven will be an even bet
against the Bears.

their practice sessions with a new
vigor Monday and Tuesday after
moons in preparation for the Sat-

that appeared in Fridays Citrus

The New York Yankees are again
the Champions of the World in
baseball. -. Sunday they ch-
NAKED another season with q
fourth straight win over Cincinnati
champions of the National league
..... And it brought the Yanks
their fourth straight world title.
All over the nation come the
cries of Break up the Yanks." And
just because the New Workers con-

the sports fans should resent the
power of the Yankees. There
isn't the same feeling against Joe
Louis and his domination of box
ing.
There wasn't the cry Break up
Notre Dame" during the Rockne
era Bobby Jones was su-
preme in golfing yet there was not
a murmur -. Big Bill Tilden,
Fred Perry. Ellsworth Vines and
Donald Bulge ruled the tennis
world at one time or another
and there was nary a protest E.
The ironic part of it all is that
the Yankees are in position to
continue their domination -. .
They have the most complete farm
system and they have the best
baseball minds in the business to
guide their success -.
Only the law of averages will be
able to stop the Yankees, but the
law of averages. even, is inclined
to string with the best team .
So from now on we'll just have to
sit and wait for some National
