SDOTtS OHOtS
Everyone was a little miffed by
the ruling from Seth Van Patten
CIF car, that abruptly ended the
valley league schedule last week
even Calexico high school which
won the loop title without endan-
gering its record against Brawley.
Brawley was upset because the
Wildcats were anxious for another
crack at Calexico FL Centre
fumed because a tie or a defeat on
the Calexico record in the final
game would have put the Spartans
in position to win the champion
ship -.
CaleXico was incensed because
school officials declare the cancella-
ton cost them approximately $1,000
in gate admissions at the final game
Holtville was also annoyed be-
cause the vikings were anxious to
close their season with a win over
Imperial =. Imperial was aggrav-
ated because the Tigers figured
they could win their only league
triumph of the season
Most incensed, however, were the
football fans, who had looked for
ward to the Brawley-Calexico game
and possibly a playoff between Ell
Centre and Calexico in the event
the Brawley-CaleXico game ended
in tie
Van Patten could have easily made
an exception in the case of the
schedule running over Dec. . .
Anyway. others asked why didn't he
check closely when the schedule
was sent to him some months ago
for approval
Some fans were even in favor of
playing the game anyway o.. When
informed the CIF would suspend
the valley league, Mr.. Fans answer
was. so what
I'VE could play Yuma in our
league, schedule practice games
against Arizona schools and do
without the mighty and meddle-
some CIF."
The CIF, however, offers a pro-
lection to school and to athletes and
must be maintained as a governing
body for intra- League disputes -.
But the feeling of FL Centre fans
should serve as a warning to the
CIF that it might eventually lose
its authority by its refusal to make
exceptions of rules in cases like
the one which confronted valley
officials
If allowances are not to be made.

included among the varsity pros
poets this season are Hector Garcia
AL Rivera, Aurelio Alcantar.
For Ell Centro only one letterman,
Warren Riedy, will return to action
but Coach Raleigh Holt picked SIX
PLAYERS who have had varsity eX-
perience, for his first team Thurs
cay.
Teaming with Riedy are Clyde
and Claude league, Joe Longacre,
Fred Robertson and Jack Tackett.
Second team selections in Thursday
practice were Kobata, Oklda, Nor
gan, Osa, Nakamura.
In Brawley Coacn Loughborough
had the biggest problem with no re-
turning lettermen. His squad Thurs
day included, Y. Kimura, Robert
Nelson, Claude Domnbour, Jack
Hamilton, Neal Jack, Sab Hashimo-
to, Walter Ulloa, Roy Minter, Martin
Navarro, Tom johnson, Charles
Cook, John Williams.
Though Brawley, Ell Centro and
Calexico were again rated the teams
to beat in basketball competition,
both Imperial and Holtville were
rated much stronger than last sea-
son.
Imperial, strengthened by Otis
King, all-valley guard from Calexico,
will have one of the best first
strings in the league with three
other returning lettermen.
Holtville'S new coach, Ben Palm
gren, specializes in basketball and
should turn out the best squad Holt
vile has had in dozen years.
Calipatria, however, will be about
the same as last year, and is sched-
uled to finish deep in the cellar.
Both Calexico and Ell Centre have
practice games scheduled in Yuma
next week and Ell Centro will travel
to Brawley for a practice game next
Friday afternoon. The Spartans will
also enter the Huntington Beach
tournament on Dec. 19.

Baseball to Do Part i'm
National Defense Lands
Giants Purchase
Card HurIer as
Meeting Closes

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. G.
OUP)-Baseball will do iti
part in the national defense
program. Commissioner Ken,
nesaw Mountain l. a n d
struck that keynote last night in his
first public appearance at minor
league meeting in eight years.
The rs year old Lands TOLD dele
gates that he expected them to
maintain the integrity of the ma
tional pastime by aiding the country
in these perilous times.
Il want the people to say that
professional baseball in the United
States held aloft the standards OF
responsibility and integrity Lands
said.
YOU men have an opportunity
of tremendous Importance and ]
call on you to maintain the integri-
ty of our game as we never sought
to maintain it before
The grey haired commissioner was
cheered by more than 1900 major
and minor league officials after his
speech before their annual banquet.
The minor leagues appointed a
committee to make plans for con-
tributions of bats and balls to train
ing camps. The majors plan to ap-
point a committee to work with the
minor leaguers on this project.
Although no prominent players
have been called in the draft, sew
eral are expected to be before the
end of the l941 season. Hank Green
berg. American league batting cham
pion and most valuable player, has
draft order No. 621 and may be the
first. Earl Cook, a promising Tiger
rookie pitcher from Buffalo, is an
other one.
1t was indicated by club and
league officials that no attempt
would be made to keep players out
of the training camps during the
baseball season or to obtain other
privileges.
The New York Giants finally got
around to making some changes.
They purchased Bob Bowman, right
handed pitcher from the st. Louis
Cardinals. for a sum variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
Bowman won seven and lost five
last season and won 13 and lost five
in 1899, his first year up from
Rochester. He is the fast ball pitcher
who "beaned" Joe MedWick Of the
Dodgers last season.
The Giants also made a deal with
Hollywood of the Pacific Coast
league, sending outfielder John Dick
shot and Pitcher Roy Joiner there
and obtaining Shortstop Joe Hoover
for 1912 delivery. They sold Pitcher
Hy Vandenberg to the Rochester
league club outright.
which was construed by many as
part of the Bowman deal with the
parent ST. Louis team.
Bill Meyer, who had been seeking
a major league job, signed to man
age the Kansas City American as
ISOLATION club again.
