with low gross scoring honors at the
Barbara Worth country club fall

putting was in the hands of lady
luck on most temporary greens.
Greens, however, were expected
to be in fair condition by next Sun
day as crews continued to condition
the putting surfaces by sand appli-
cations and mowers were scheduled
to thin the fairway grass during
the week.

Brawley Squad
Friday

Grid giants from CaleXico
and Holtville high school pry
the lid off the valley football
season come Thursday night

perts believe will go long way in
determining the seriousness of Cal
eXicos repeat bid for the loop cham
pionship.
CaleXico's defending champions
will be slight betting favorites de-
spite the fact the game will be
played on the Viking gridiron ano
despite the fact Holtville will hold
short weight advantage.
Calexico's forward wall of Garcia
and Eady at ends; Garlic and Dun
can at tackles, Acuna and Gutierrez
at guards and Candland at center,
will average I'll pounds. Holtvllle's
line of sunni and Gaber al ends,
zumstein and Manchester at tackles,
Standifer and Mitchell at guards,
and Ferguson at center, will aver
age 179 pounds.
The Bulldog backfield of Ardrade,
Rivera, Webster and White viii
average 155 and Holtvilles second
airy of Aldaco, Hawk, Smooth. Otis
will average 156 pounds. Heaviest
man on Holtvilles squad is Waiter
Zumstein at 800. Calexico's biggest
man is Duncan at 1873.
El Centre and Brawley high foot
ball squads. considerably lighter
than Holtville and Calexico, clash
Friday night on the Brawley field
in a game that will send El Centres
Spartans out to try new system
of play.
Brawley with IA lettermen, boasts
the edge in experience but El Gen.
tro will hold slight weight advan-
tage.
Both squads speeded practice ses-
sions, El Centro to gain more knowl-
edge of Notre Dame system offerse
and defense and Brawley to round
its squad into shape.
Red Riedy, backfield letternan
from the 1899 Spartan football team
entered his third day of practice
at El Centre Monday and was still
on the second string. Coach Raleigh
Holt declared he planned to Use

Cincinnati in Six

This is the year that a moderr
baseball precedent of five year:
standing is riding for a fall because
In less than ten days the Cincinnati
Reds of the National league will
emerge champions of baseball a.
conquerors of Detroit's American
league titleholders.
Now don't call off all your bets
because that is only my opinion
and there are such experts as Con-
ME Mack, Oldest manager in base
ball, who have selected Detroit to
win the world series and he may be
better qualified than / to predict.
Just for background, let me recall
to you the four past baseball cam
paigns in which the New York
Yankees defeated the Giants in
1896 and 1887, walloped the Chicago
Cubs in 1888 and trimmed Cincin-
matt last year. In 1885 Detroit up
held the American league domina-
ton by whipping Chicago, Az.
But now the Yankees, after their
four years of domination have drop
ped out of the picture and it's De-
troit that is again carrying the
banner of the American league.
Detroit is typical American
league team with power to burn.
The Reds strength, on the other
hand, is in their pitching and de-
Tense. They have four starters, Der
ringer, Walters, Thompson, Turner.
and great relief man, Joe Beggs.
The Tigers cannot match that
array of pitching talent. Their three
top men are Schoolboy Rowe, Buck
Newsom and Tommy Bridges. New
som is gamble. Bridges needs five
days rest and can be counted on for
only one start in the series. From

everyone, including his owner

Minimum Of a
Teachers Is Urged
For New School
Citizens Association
Of Tokomo, D. c., Asks
Adequate Stuff

Educational facilities equal tc
those furnished to all other high
schools Of the District were insisted
upon for the Calvin Coolidge High
School in a resolution adopted last
night by the Citizens Association of
Takoma, D. c.
Twelve teachers, as provided in
the present District appropriation
bill, are not adequate, according to
members of the associations School
Committee. Presenting report,
Lafayette c. Corey said 80 teachers
could be used when the school opens
next fall, but no less than "a should
be provided if the pupils were to re-
ceive the same education as pupils
in other high schools. 1t was pointed
out that the number of teachers re-
quested can be justified not only on
the basis of courses of study to be
offered but also on experiences of
other schools.
Senate Appearance Authorized.
Following adoption of the resolu-
ton, Jesse c. Suter moved that the
associations officers and the School
Committee appear before the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee. This
proposal also was adopted.
William H. Parsons, chairman of
the Laws and Legislation Commit
tee, spoke on national suffrage for
the District and said that when
such right is granted, law must be
enacted governing the choosing of
delegates to the national convention
Political parties have accorded rep
resentation in the national nominat-
ing convention and no law govern
ing the selection of these represent
atives, he pointed out.
The bill of Senator Capper Of
Kansas was Endorsed and its enact
ment urged at an early date in order
that delegates may be selected to
approaching national conventions.
Act on A. b. C. Proposal.
The bill in Congress amending the
present Alcoholic Beverage Control
Act, providing that licensee or ap-
plicant shall have the right to ap-
peal to the District Commissioners
from certain actions of the A. B. c.
Board, was discussed and a resolu-
ton adopted calling for equal op-
portunity to appeal to the Commis-
sioners by those in opposition to ap-
plicants, should the ruling of the
board be unfavorable to their posi-
ton.
District taxation was debated and
Mr.. Parsons presented a brief reso-
luton providing for the passage of
a combination sales and income tax
as substitute for the present in
come tax.
The following officers were elected:
President, Wallace c. Magathan;
first vice president, Bruce E. Ander-
son; second vice president, Lewis A.
Jones; secretary, William M.
Greene: recording secretary, Carl c.
King; treasurer, DR.. Norman E. Nc

Citizens Associations, Mr.. Greene
and Ralph M. Graham.

Natures Children
Alligator Frog

are especially fond of the tadpoles
and young frogs. The turtles have
disconcerting habit of swapping of
the legs of the frogs, thus handicap
ping the poor creatures so that they
are soon the victims of less aggres-
sive foes who could not have hoped
to dine on them otherwise.
In August the male is a grayish-
olive color. The sides of his head
and crown are a dark olive buff
sometimes crimson or brown. There
is some green on the side of the
body and the under parts are spot
ted with white or light Payne's gray.
The throat is citron green or deep
chrysolite green. and the spots on
the lower jaw rim are sea foam
yellow.

son. This color scheme enables the
alligator frog to escape too much
attention. The great beautiful eyes
look like jewels with the pupil rim
of cadmium yellow, iris encircled
by pale green-yelloW or bright
green-yellow, and the iris itself
black dotted with orange. When
watching this frog, you realize you
are almost mesmerized by the ex-
qulsite eyes until finally you may
become oblivious to your surround
ings.
The life story Of the alligator frog
is very much like that of the green
frog. The tadpoles of both may
take as much as two years to assume
the form and figure Of their parents

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Not until 1922 did the light Of
publicity reach this giant frog, res
ident Of Alligator Swamp, Callahan,
Fla. At first glance you would mis-
take the alligator frog for Rama
clamitans. However, it has more
rough surface on the dorsum, and
the colors soon reveal a different
frog to you.
The known range today is from
Savannah, Ca, to Fargo (on the
Suwanee River) and Folkstone near
st. Mary's River in Georgia. All
along this river on both sides, in
Georgia and Florida, you may find
these husky fellows.
The alligator frog loves the
sWampy edges of rivers, streams and
such places which offer an abund-
ance of food and shelter. Shrubs
and the base of trees are the favor
lite haunts of these frogs. In try
ing to make their escape, they are
verv awkward If they are summing
themselves or in an attitude of
meditation when they realize they
are under inspection, they tumble
off theil perch rather than spring
from it.
When captured they voice their
dismay by squealing much as do the
green frogs, and when they dis
cover any lessening in your grasp
upon them, they use their hind legs
for a swift and successful push-off
leaping broad and handsome into
the water nearby.
Those who have sought this
dweler of the alligator haunted
swamps, claim that its natural voice
is a mixture Of snort, snarl and
grunt. This combination should not
be difficult to recognize.
The enemies of this frog are the
Florida grackles, turtles and the
water snakes. The pied water snakes
