KoItvihe Warns
Not TO Overlook
Viking Gridders

There's a warning circulating over
Holtville way and it amounts to
something like this:
Don't count the Holtville Vikings
out of the valley league football
race"
The warning is not one that can
be forgot in a second or SO by op-
posing coaches either because Holt
vile will put its heaviest team in a
decade on the field come october 4
when the league season opens.

men tackles. T. J. Standifer, 189-
pound guard, and Leroy Ferguson,
180-pound center, as nucleus, will
average close to 200 pounds.
The backfield, sparXed by Bud
Smoot, 100 pound quarter, Paul
Hawk, 170-pund blocking back and
Ray Aldaco, 100 pound fullback,
will be one of the most adequate
in the league.
More than 35 candidates turned
out at Holtville field Monday night
and the new coach, Ben Palmgren,
declared there would be adequate
replacements both in the line and
the backfield when the regular sea-
son opens.

Seattle had better stick, close to
the telephone tonight instead of
marching onto the Emeryville field
to meet Oakland in Shaughnessy
playoff game. .~t.
The Rainiers should be informed
that the telephone only rings once
when the pot of gold" is being
divvied, and not since 1886 has the
penflant winner-in this case Seat
tie, again--has come through to
win the playoffs as well. Inasmuch
as $1,000 goes to the ultimate VIM
ner, it would behoove Emil Sick's
Haufbrauers to listen for the tin
kle of the phone.
Los Angeles, the second place
club in the final standings, plays
host to fourth place San Diego
starting tomorrow night. 1t is GUS
tomary for the first and second
place clubs to have the privilege
of opening the playoff series on
their home grounds, but inasmuch
as Seattle finished it's season at
San Diego, Sick decided it would
be useless expense to haul his club
1900 miles back home, then return
to Oakland for the final games of
the series.

The shadow ball exhibition, staged
by the Sioux City Ghosts. came as
somewhat of an anti climax Monday
night because for nine innings Joe
the Fox Hurst staged virtually the
same stunt as far as the barnstorm-

Hurst let the reputedly hard hit

a single run in leading the Ell Cen
tro All-StarS to an 81 victory over
the Negroes. Joe famed sixteen
batters and was in trouble in only
the first inning when the Negroes
scored their only run.
Ell Centro, trailing 10 in the
third inning, cut loose with a bar
rage of hits to score four times.
The ALL added three more in
the sixth and one in the eighth in

TODAy'S SPORT PARADE

/, the fiasco with Armstrong in New
York not SO long ago. He kept
swinging until the end. despite bad
cuts over and under his left eye.
From the third round on, jenkins
punch was gone. Not once but 10
times he connected with his Sun
day right hand punch, but it didn't
do any great damage. The only
punches he hurt Montgomery with
were rights to the heart, and Jen-
kins can thank the last one to that
region-it came In the middle of the
final ropnd-for his victory. 1t slow
ed UP Montgomery enough to enable
Lew to win the round, and he need
ed 1t to get the decision.
AS for Montgomery's resemblance
to Armstrong. 1t lies chiefly in
color. The Philadelphia tries hard
enough to look like Armstrong,
goodness knows, but his efforts hin
der him as a fighter rather than
help him. Someone should point
out to Montgomery that Armstrong
throws punches from his crouch,
and does not just bob and weave
with his hands at his side.
He'll have to shorten his punches
II he wants to look like Armstrong.
too. Henry doesn't have to have
much leeway to hit. Montgomery
winds up like baseball pitcher and
misses many an opening.
Benny Leonard was one of Jen-
kins' handlers lslt night, and it
would be interesting to know what
the onetifne king Of the 135-pound-
ers really thinks of the man who
now holds the title. The chances are
that Benny could give lip cigars

Bt HENRY McLEMORE

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. II. tUP)
Those of us who came down here
to investigate the report that there
was another Henry Armstrong loose
on the the boxing world in the
person of Bob Montgomery were
convinced today that the report
was started by Bob's relatives or
persons who never have seen
Hafnmerin Hank in action.
Montgomery was a good light
weight In losing a 10-round decision
to Lightweight Champion Lew
jenkins, but no great one. Because
d great fighter, or even near great
one, would have had the Texan bull
dogged and braVded we'll within the
10 round limit.
Jenkins, who apparently looks on
training as something unworthy Of
a champion, and fit only for pre-
liminary boys, gave another classic
exhibition of what the Danes so
prettily describe as running out OF
gas" He looked like titleholder
for six minutes only During the
first two rounds. before he became
winded and arm and leg weary,
he punched MONTGOMERY daffy and
would have won inside OF five
rounds had he been able to con-
tinue at this pace.
But in the third round he began
to droop like day before yesterdays
petunias, and he wasn't helped
any by one of MontSomerys stylish
round house rights that dropped
him for the count of nine. AS mat
ter of fact, the only thing that
saved jenkins from losing the over
weight bout (Jenkins 135, Mont
gomery 1871 was his courage. Tie

American League
Race Settles Into
Tiger-|ndian Scrap

NEW YORK. Sept. IT, (UP)-
You don't need crytal balls, tea
leaves or ouija boards today to fig
ure out that the 1910 world series
will be an all-western affair.
The Cincinnati Reds are as good
as in. Any combination of four
Cincinnati victories and Brooklyn
defeats will clinch the National
League pennant for the Reds. If the
Reds win four more games they'll
clinch the pennant regardless of
what the Dodgers do.
The American Leagues represen-
tative in the world series will be
either Cleveland or Detroit, barring
catastrophe. The ding-dong battle
between the Indians and Tigers is
likely to last right down to the
very finish. The Yanks have shot
their bolt. The White Sox's rocket
has about reached its peak.
Leaving for Philadelphia today,
the Reds held a 10-game lead over
the Dodgers. Unless the Reds cool
off after sweeping through the
east with seven straight victories
Including one tie), they should
clinch the flag Wednesday or Thurs
day at the latest.
The Reds are finishing up like
champions. They polished off the
Dodgers yesterday, 4 to 8, in 10 inn
ings to make it three straight over
their closest rivals in the final
playoff series between them. 1t was
a playoff game of Sundays IL tie.
AS have been most of the Cincin-
Brooklyn games this season,
Yesterdays game was bitter battle
which ended in a near riot.
A Brooklyn fan charged Umpire
George Magerkurth, who had eject
ed Leo Durocher after violent
protest by the Dodger manager, apd
in the brawl that followed 1t TOOK
more than 40 ushers, attendants and
special police to restore order. Ma
gerkurth preferred charges OF as
sault against the fan who was held
in $500 bail for hearing in court
The American League results were
notable for two things-the tight
ening of the race between the IN
dams and Tigers, and the slaughter
of the Yanks. Cleveland divided a
doubleheader with the Athletics
and saw its lead narrowed to half a
game over Detroit. A 7-run rally
in the third featured the Tribes
8-3 victory in the opener. Ninth
inning doubles by Sam Chapman
and Bob johnson gave the Athletics
a 80 win in the nightcap, swapping
a 9-game Philadelphia losing streak.
Johnny Babich. rookie draftee
from Kansas City, hung up his 18th
victory for the AS, allowing only
six hits.
With Buck Newsom winning his
10th game and Hank Greenberg
hitting his 35th homer, the Tigers
pummelled the Senators, 92-. Green
bergs blow tied him with Jimmy
Foxx for the American League
home run lead.
The Browns cut the Yanks to
ribbons, 1914, and left the bedrag-
gled New Workers four games out
of first place. The Browns hit five
homers among their Is hits off
Russo, Hadley, Gomez and Sundra.
Vernon Kennedy won his 1lth
game, yielding six hits.
The Red Sox stopped the White
Sox's 8-game winning streak with
6-2 setback. Jack Wilson pitched
five hitter while the White Sox
committed five errors afield.
In the other National League
games the Cardinals split with the
Phillies, winning the nightcap, I'll,
after losing the opener, 80, and
the Pirates nosed out the Giants,

HUDSON BAY ROUTE IS THE SAFEST

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, June 12 - The war at sea and a timely report by Dr. Alexander D. Baj- koV, Russian scientist at Church ill Manitoba, on Hudson Bay, it is believed popularized the Hudson Bay shipping route.
 Many grain men are convinced the northern route from Canada will prove the safest if the Europ can war is of long duration. With Dr. Bajkov's declaration that the port can be kept open almost the year around grain men are hop ing the bay route will get its first real break. Plans are under way for a campaign to put these views before the public.
 Dr. BajkoV, a graduate of the University of Czecho-Slovakia and prominent hydrologist and biologist, has made an extensive study of the Hudson bay district from his private research station at Churchill.
 The report by D. Bajkov states that only one-half to three miles of ice at the mouth of Churchill harbor would have to be kept open to facilitate continuous ship ping thru the northern passage,
 Hudson Bay and Hudson Strait never freeze in winter" Dr. Bajkovs report adds. ''The ice fom Fox Channel, considered in some quarters the chief men, ace to the extension of the Hud- son Bay route is not a deter mining factor.
 "The local ice condition at Churchill determines the closing date. The open water during the severeSt part of the winter IS only one-half mile to three miles from Churchill, and can see the possibility of navigation for near ly all the year"
