.T0DAYS SPORT PARADE

which the Tigers won 7 to 4. An
unknown, insofar as home run
pitching was concerned, Turner
came through with a performance
that stamped him as one blessed
with infinite possibilities. In the
seventh inning he threw two of
the most gorgeous home run balls
any fan has ever seen. One split
the middle, chest high, when Rudy
YORK was at bat. York expressed
his appreciation of such artistry by
peitlng the ball into the lower left
field stands.
Encourag ged, Turner determined
to throw Pinky Higgins am even
better one. He did. The one Turner
threw Higgins was worthy of a
museum. 1t came straight and sure.
Fast and dead down the line. Hig-
gins showed his appreciation by
stepping into the ball and lifting
1t 100 feet past the point where
York's homer landed.
Turner was just preparing to de-
liver an even more perfect throw
when McKechnie, a man who
scorns records, took him out of the
game. But Turner walked to the
dugout with the cheers of $4,000
Detroit fans ringing in his ears.
The customers appreciated his
skill, even if McKechnie didn't.
The Beggs clique was formed
when Joe came in as a relief hurl-
er. He didn't work very long but
Hank Greenberg hit one of his ear
ly throws for a rousing triple. This
naturally caused his supporters to
contend that Joe, given little
more time, could quickly develop
the knack of throwing home run
pitches.
AS for myself, I lean toward the
Thompson group. I have a sneak
ing feeling that Junior, given his
head and not handicapped by in
structions from the bench, will give
a dazzling performance today. My
guess is that Gehringer, Greenberg,
McCosky and one other Tiger will
get home runs before he is taken
out.
Come on Junior! Show 'em you
are the best.

DETROIT, Oct. 5 CUP)- Rumor
has it that the world series hopes
of the Cincinnati Reds have been
Jeopardized by internal dissention.
From an authoritative source the
writer has learned that the Reds
are battling among themselves over
the question as to which of their
pitchers throws the most perfect
home run ball.
There are reports Of pitched bat
ties between the men who support
Junior Thompson as the ideal
home run pitcher and the players
who side with Jim Turner as the
possessor of the pitch easiest to
knock out of the park. There have
even been hints that a third party,
which supported Joe Beggs, took
part in the hand to hand fighting
Thompson's supporters counted
heavily on Juniors work today
against the Detroit Tigers in the
third game of the world series.
They pointed out that before night
fell Junior would establish himself,
for all time. as the one man with
complete mastery over the pitch
which could be lifted out of the lot.
There is no denying that Thomp-
son, has class. In the third series
game against the Yankees last
year Thompson, with a control that
was beautiful to watch, threw four
home run balls against the Yank-
ees. Charley Keller lifted two of
his pitches into the great baseball
beyond, and Joe DiMaggio and Bill
Dickey blasted one each. This tied
the record established by Charley
Root many years before, and there
was much criticism of Manager Bill
McKechnie when he yanked
Thompson and did not allow him
to go the route. Connoisseurs of the
home run pitch said that if Thomp-
son had been allowed to work the
full nine innings he must certain
ly/ would have broken Roots rec
ord and made a place for himself
in baseballs hall of ill-fame.
Turner challenged ThompSon's
superiority in yesterdays game

Armstrong to Get Chance
To Regain WeIter Title
Hammerin' Henry
Badly Beaten by
Fritzie ziVic

NEW YORK, Oct. 3. CUP
-Fritzie Zivic, the miracle
man of maui, is ready to de.
fend his brand new world
welterweight crown against
Henry Armstrong just as soon as
Armstrong RECEIVERS from the bloody
beating Zivic gave him at Madison
SQUARE Garden last night.
Zivic. a brown-haired, pug-noseo
lad from Pittsburgh handed the
great Armstrong the worst beating
of his career last night-had Arm
strong lying flat on his face at the
final bell that ended their l5-round
melee.
That bell saved Armstrong from
his first knockout. Virtually every
expert at the ringSide agreed that
had the fight lasted another minute,
Armstrong would have been knock
ed out.
Under his contract, Zivic is bound
to give Armstrong first crack at the
l47-pound crown and within four
months. But most of the boxing
writer's who gazed upon Armstrong S
bloodied countenance last night
wondered if Armstrong could be
ready to fight Zivic within four
months.
"Bloodied' is a mild description
of Armstrong; face when he hit the
canvas in the final second of the
last round. His face looked like
oozing hamburger. And his flop
clinched for Zivic the unanimous
decision of referee and judges.
Armstrong then was but rasp-
berry target, bleeding from gashes
above both eyes, from his left cheek,
from mouth and nose. Hurricane
Hank explained later in the dress
ing room that he could not see out
of his left eye after the third round,
and that he was virtually blinded
in both eyes after the 10th-what
with blood from his brows.
Armstrong; defeat was a bit
tragic, because he had been one of
the greatest fighters in pugilistic
history. But he went down with his
colors flying. He was punching until
ne hit the deck-just as he had
been during those Is furious rounds
when he stood toe to toe with a
younger and stronger man and tried
to match punch for punch.
Unfortunately for him, he had
tackled lad superior in brain and
Drawn, although Zivic was a Al
underdog in the ringside betting.

Snort Notes

This is the time of the year that
the Bench Warmer is annually ready
to forget the world series and con-
centrate on football. For five years
l have supported the National league
entry in the baseball classic and as
a result the series has become this
columns most expensive sporting
event.
So let's forget that there is a
world series and discuss the pos
sibilities in next weeks valley league
football schedule, in which Brawley
meets Holtville and e. Centro takes
on the leagues newest entrant, the
Imperial Tigers.
Brawley, with Minter, Navarro
and Williams to do the ball packing
should score victory over the
slower moving Holtville squad be-
cause the Wildcat footballers will
show considerable improvement over
Friday nights performance.
Ell Centre, still regarded in the
running despite the setback Friday
night, tests the versatility of the
Imperial Tigers in a game which
should develop into a passing duel
between Imperial's tossers, Danskin
and King, and El Centro's passers,
Oswalt and Patterson.
The Spartans will necessarily be
tabled as favorites because of su-
perior replacements both in the
line and the backfield, but with a
list of backfield candidates like
Gardner, Danksin, Nakazona and
King, Imperial is capable of surpris-
ing.
Coach Al Klein was in the stands
at the Brawley-El Centro game FRI
day night to scout the Spartan Of
fense and that may mean that
Imperial will be ready with an air.

Holt. dropped a 60 decision to
Brawley high in the league opener.
The Ell Centrans, still in the pro-
cess of learning a new system OF
play, now have an uphill fight in
their battle for the league title and
the strength shown by Brawley Fri
day and by Calexico in downing
Holtville Thursday night indicates
there will be very little easy sail
ing.
Brawley's Wildcats, who outgained
Ell Centre 81 in yardage and tailed
10 first downs to six for the Spar
,tans, had to capitalize on a IS yard
touchdown pass from Martin Nav
AFRO to speedy John Williams in the
final three minutes of play, for vic
tory.
Wildcats Threaten
The Wildcats threatened on two
other occasions and had moved the
ball to the Ell Centre 10 yard line
as the gun sounded ending the ball
game. The victory was the first
opening game triumph for Brawley
in three seasons.
Ell Centro dominated play in the
first half of the ball game, threat
ening the Brawley goal line on two
occasions and having one long punt
return by Billy Patterson called
back.
Brawley, on the other hand, was
in command most of the way in the
second half and all but pushed the
Spartans off the field in a wild
fourth quarter. The Wildcats had
one touchdown nullified by a pen
atty in the final 80 seconds of the
ball game when Williams inter-
cepted last ditch Spartan pass
and galloped 30 yards to score.n
The fast quarter WIS evenly fought
with neither team threatening to
score, though Billy Patterson scam
pered to the Brawley 10 yard line
for SIS yard return of John Will
liam's punt. The play was called
back, however, and Ell Centro was
penalized for roughing the kicker.
Ell Centre Moves
In the second quarter Ell Centre
moved into scoring position on two
occasions but both offensive pushes
begged down. The Spartans moved
to the Brawley 80 early in the
period when Patterson. scampered
% yards to the Brawley 48 on
punt return.
Quarterback Gene Oswalt passed
to Morgan for II yards and Pat
terson ran to the Brawley 80. Two
line plays failed and Robertson at
tempted a field goal but was short
five yards.
A minute later Oswalt recovered
Brawley tumble on the Wildcat
2l. Patterson went five yards on a
quarterback sneak, Robertson added
three. A reverse play and lateral
to Alarcon put the ball on the Braw-
ley eight yard line but an offside
penalty nullified the play and the
Spartans offense was halted.
Brawley pushed into Spartan ter
ritory on two occasions in the third
quarter, once moving to the 40 yard
line and again to the IA, Ell Centre
tightened its defense on both occa-
sions, however.
Ell Centro's final threat came in
the late minutes of the third period
when reverse and lateral moved

Arabs
Meet
Citrus

crew as football players go,
open the 1910 grid season in
Ell Centre tonight at 8 o'clock
against a heavy Citrus junior college
football team.
The junior college gridders, in
meeting their first test of the sea-
son, have a reputation to live up
to. one built by Coach Robert Arm
strong's 1899 dream team" and
one which included among other
things an undefeated record.
The 1899 junior college season was
marred only by two deadlocks, one
of which was 6-6 tie with Citrus
junior college in a game played in
the mud and muck at Citrus.
The 1910 football team lacks Jack
Gray and the Walker brother in the
backfield and Robert Ballou in the
line, but requirements include Crash
Dickerson, Glen Poole, T. J. Welles
and Ted Sandez in the backfield.
Stacey Morgan is back from last
year. That backfield, according to
Armstrong will be superior to last
years.
The Arab line will not be quite
as formidable as the forward wall
OF one year ago but with Frank
Keller, Woodrow Ingle, Murphy
Newell and Sareeran to form a nu-
cleus the Arab front line will be
adequate.
Citrus brings a team to Ell Centre
rated slightly better than the one
that tied Ell Cenro last week and
as a result the invaders will go into
the game a short odds favorite.
But then, Armstrong teams have
a habit of upsetting the dope.
