Sports Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE

PALM SPRINGS, Cal. Feb. 2.
CUP)-Dick Richards. president of
the Detroit Lions, told me today
that there was no earthly chance
of James A Farley being named
"czar" of professional football.
Richards was recuperat!ng here
from an illness which, as he put
it. was brought on by having to
deal with the "numbSkulls who run
the National Professional Football
league"
The fiery little millionaire. who
| has minced no words in criticism
of his fellow owners since he bought
the Lions five years ago, said! the
hiring of Farley to head the league
was a wild and silly dream" of
George Marshall, president of the
Washington Redskins.
Marshall just thought the Far
ley thing up for little publicity" !"
Richards said. He'll think up any
thing to get his name in the paper.
Just as soon as this thing falls
through, he'll think up something
else just as ridiculous"
Why did Richards think 9the
scheme of making Farley the "czar"
was doomed to failure? : D.
Why" Richards asked in amaze
ment. Why? Did you read the
salary figure? Just seventy five
thousand dollars, that's all. Where
is that coming from? Who is going
to put up that sort of money? Not
three years ago my fellow owners
pooh-poohed a suggestion of mine
that we hire a nationally known
man to head the league because I
thought We would have to3 pay
twenty-five thousand dollars to get
him. And they voted down my sug-
gestion that we pay big publicity
firm five thousand dollars to pub
licize the sport. Said they couldn't
afford it."
Richards made it clear to me
that he thought Farley would be
fine "czar"
Farley is a magnificent organ
izer and knows sport from top to
bottom the Detroit president said
He would be perfect in the spot,
but 1 would hate to have to hang
by my thumbs, or by my wrists,
even, until the money for his first
years salary is raised"
Richards wondered what Farley
would find to do for twelve months
Of the year.
HE is fast worker, and would
clean up all the work in a month.
After that he would have nothing
to do, and I would like to see my
fellow owners part with that sort
of money for one month of WORK E"

Mccarthy Tabs Yankees as Team TO

Auree With NeWYork MANAGER

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. tUP)-Joe
Mccarthy qualified for blue rib
bon in managerial modesty today
when he refused to come right out
and pick his New York Yankees
to win the 1889 American league
pennant.
The refusal, however, can be at
tributed TO genial Joe's retiring
nature rather than his true feeling,
for in the next breath he said that
the Yanks would be stronger than
last year.
And, if the team that outstripped
the league by 9l2 games and bludg-
eoned the Chicago Cubs four
straight in the World Series comes
up with stronger lineup this year,
who is going to stand in their way
of a fourth consecutive pennant
Imperial Valley press., 1939-02-02

and world championship?
Mccarthy, here to receive the
outstanding achievement award of
the New York chapter of the base
ball writer's association next Sun
day night, said "we had the best
team i'm baseball last year and it
should be stronger. The team that
licks the Yanks will win the PEN
nant."
As to which team he figured to
give the Yankees the most trouble,
he named Boston's Red SOX as the
No. 1 challenger with Detroit and
Cleveland right behind them"
Mccarthy expects the Yankees
to be stronger because the young
sters like Joe DiMaggio, Tommy
Heinrich, and Joe Gordon are bound
to improve with more experience.

in the valley league
Ell Centro high schools defend
ing champions will seek their sixth
straight league win of the season

period Imperial will attempt to
stretch its win streak to three

Experts gave Imperial little
chance to even give the Spartan
a close contest in the game to-
night but the Tigers have shown
Improvement in recent games.
Coach Larry Hanson of Central
high anticipated the toughest game
Of the league season.
Hanson attributed his qualmS to

to fear that after the Spartans' de-
cisive win over CaleXico the Cen

the basket consistently.
Imperial Gees will battle Ell Cen

Principal opposition in the Amer
ican league is expected to come
from the Detroit Tigers despite the
fact Detroit did not land Earl
Averill in a deal with the Cleve-
land Indians.
The Tigers, you will remember,
were still floundering in the sec
ond division of the American league
in August. But in the last six weeks
of the campaign Detroit played $50
ball to move to fourth place in
the final standings.
1t was in August that Del Baker
replaced Mickey Cochrane as man
ager of the Detroit nine. Immedi-
ately after Baker took over the
reignS the Tigers began to play
good ball.
Schoolboy Rowe will be back on
the mound tc strengthen the De-
troit pitching staff. Rowe develop
ed a good curve ball at Beaumont
and is again ready TO turn in his
share of victories.
Young Fred Hutchinson will be

with the Seattle Rainiers in 1898,
his first year in pro ball.
Hutchinson throws with the same
ease that characterized Grover
Alexander, so the Tigers are not
worried about the young stars
progress in the major leagues.
Charles Gehringer is expected to
have better year at second base,
Greenberg will be just as good as
last season, Pinkey Higgins will
strengthen the infield at third base,
Frank Crocher may be a sensation
at shortstop.
Dixie Walker Rudy York and
Roy Cullenbine will form a hard

Tunney is an example. He picked
Baer 10 defeat Louis, Farr to beat
Nova Braddock to beat Louis and
Baer to beat Braddock.
Canzoneri's prediction record is
even worse than TunneyiS. so it is
quite obvious why the Nova camp

Admit
Verb. To allow entrance.

Do not say "ADD-mit." This

in certain sections of the country
tolerate, if not actually encourage,
the erroneous use of admit as q

sanction for this, even as a colo
quialism, in any recognized diction-
ary Admit as noun simply does
not exist except as a dialectal

results from false analogy with the
noun permit (PER-mit, which is
the correct word to use, as this
permit will admit you to class"
Mote: Do not say ''the price of
admittance" The correct word is
admission" though we should keep
in mind that the expression "the
price of admission" is redundant,
since one of the meanings of admis-
sion is price of entrance; fee paid
for entering. Eliminate "the price
of 4" and say the admission

there was no trap under water.
Then he crawled up on the bank

for signs of a trap. He could find
none. There certainly was nc trap
where those pieces of carrot lay in
plain sight on that log.
It seemed to Jerry that he simply
must have those pieces of carrot.
He tried to turn his back on them
and go away, but he couldn't. He
knew he was foolish, but he finally,
very. very cautiously crept up on
that log until he could reach out
