Eddie, never would have to slip

Ruth has a bet on Eddie when

D.. The Hogue-GraveS fight has peeIl
sought by valley fans since nlght
four years ago when both battlers
appeared on the same card at the
old Brawley amateur arena. Both
won handily, though Bigboy at the
time was only a featherweight, and
fans began to await the day When
the twin became heavy enough 10

Graves and Hogue cleaned up in
amateur ranks, then Graves won
the Pacific Coast middleweight

Hogue and Graves were matched
in San Diego and Bigboy walloped
the daylights out of the El Centro

Graves claims to this day that a
lucky punch started him on his
downfall in that fight and declares
he will reverse the procedure come

mountable barrier A loss for Ell
Centre would likewise put a severe
bend in the Spartan hopes for a
championship.
Ell Centro gridders concentrated
on defense against Holtville plays
and elaborated its offense to shoot
against the powerful Viking for
ward wall.
Coaches Raleigh Holt of Ell Gen.
tro and Ben Palmgren of Holtville
will be meeting for the first time on
the gridiron Thursday night as both
mentors are coaching their first
football teams in valley league play.
Holtvile, under Palmgren, uses a
variation of the Calland system
taught at San Diego State and Ell
Centre high. under Holt uses the
Notre Dame system made famous by
the great Knute Rockne.
El Centro will be handicapped by
the loss of Joe Longacre, 220-pound
tackle. and Paul Horton, second
string halfback. Both received knee
injuries and will be out for at least
one more week.
Holtville's lineup will be intact for
the Thursday game and the Vikings
will send a team onto the field
that will outweigh the Spartans

Coaches, in other words. are Juogee

Looking back on the world SER
les Bill McKechnie wonders what
! the price on the Reds would have
been had their supporters guessed
that neither Ernie Lombardi nor
Frank Mccormick. supposedly the
only authoritative batters with a
ht-hitting club. would drive in
single run.
Deacon McKechnie asserts that
he wasn't as worried as many OF
the Cincinnati outfits well-wishers
when Schnozzle Lombardi was chas-
ed to the sideline by twisted
ankle. and Lonnie Frey with a brok-
en- toe.
II figured we would miss Lom-
bardi's batting, but even though
he is 40, there's no better catcher
than Jimmy Wilson, explains the
manager who has National Leagu-
ers holding their heads high once
more.
While he preferred Frey's left
hand batting against Detroit's
right pitchers, McKechnie testifies
he had not the slightest concern
about Eddie Joost'S ability 10 fill in
satisfactorily at second base as key
man of the infield. Frey, it will be
recalled was a terrific bust against
the Yankees year ago.
Perhaps the forced substitution
of Joost was for the best" beams

Wilson's was one of the most
remarkable performances of all
time. 4O-year- -old hopping back

being out two years. 1t was great
way for him to close an illustrious
career"

'That's the siliiest thing I ever

pitcher an advantage; otherwise
there wouldn't be any rule against
it. And Pm certainly not giving

Since Newsom returned to ac-

with tape the thumb which was
broken on the Tigers last eastern

have consented to this.
