At the Aqua Caliente race track,
where anything can happen and
does at least twice a day. Miss An
ma Lee Wiley. as pretty a blonde
as ever danced in a broadway musi-
cal, has been granted a jockeys
license This entities her to
ride against any and all men jock
eys, and according to Judge George
W. Schilling, Caliente's presiding
steward who granted her the per-
NIT, she is fully capable of the
task He told me that Miss
Wiley was one of the best whip
riders he had ever seen and in
every way the equal of the average
jockey She will probably ride
at Bay Meadows this summer . . =.
When not riding at Caliente this
winter she exercised horses at San
ia Anita and had the respect of all
the trainers for whom she worked
. And to think that not many
years ago women tainted at the

Just to show you that I am not
unaware that the baseball season
is fast approaching. and have been

Sport ParagraDhs

There are few good losers in ath-
letics =. and the fellow who is
a good loser is not worth the powder
to blow him from here to Calipatria.
Coaches in Imperial Valley. more
so than in any other section, teach
their athl, tes to be graceful losers.
but there are few high school
leagues in the nation where they
play for keeps like they do in the
Imperial Valley league.
In every sport, whether ii be foot :
ball or lawn badminton, the valley
schools play out their string for VIC
tory ana the team that comes out on
top knows that there has been a
battle.
Such was the case in the high
school basketball league this sea-
son where Brawley. CaleXico and FL
Centre battled for the league cham
pionship.
So heated was the competition
the league season in a deadlock Fl
Centre defeated CaleXico. 1890. then
dropped tho second game in CaleX-
ico, 25-12.
Both CaleXico and FL Centre
edged out Brawley in two games
but the scores were as close as Sia-
mese twins and there was about as
little to choose between the teams.
Coaches Hanson and Covington
of FL Centre and Calexico were so
determined to win in the league
playoff that neither could arrange
q deal to suit the other so league
principals took the matter into their
hands and declared there would be
no playoff . So the valley league
has two champions.

Farley Resigns. Marking Milestone
In History Of New Deal; Hopkins
May Become New Man Behind Ballots

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug. 8 tUP)
Postmaster General James A.
Farley today resigned from the cab
met, effective Aug. 81.
Farley previously had announced
his retirement as chairman of the
Democratic national committee and
will be succeeded on Aug. II by
Edward j. Flynn of New York.
In accepting Farley's cabinet res
ignation with real regret" Mr..
Roosevelt gave no indication as to
whom he would name as postmaster
general.
Farley is stepping out of public
life to become president of the New
York Yankee baseball club. He SUBJ
mitted his resignation in a letter
TO MI. Roosevelt dated Aug. Z, and
the president accepted in a letter
dated today.
Neither the president nor Farley
made any mention of the third
term issue in their letters. although
they exchanged mutual expressions
OF esteem and regret at severance
OF their political association which
led To the New Deal victories of
1922 and 1886.
Despite tie mutual expressions of
friendship and esteem, Farley's res
ignation apparently marked an his
toric milestone in the history of the
New Deal.
AS 1.-The man behind the ballots"
Farley was the master political
technician who did the spadework
