NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK. Oct. l CUP =
Railroad issues led stocks bonds
higher today. Business continued
to mount toward all-time record
levels.
Impetus for the stock markets
rise was principally furnished by
anticipation of early passage of
the conference report on the eX-
cess porfits tax.
Markets compiled long lists of
stocks which would benefit or lose
by the new tax measure. They in
cluded in the favorably situated
group the railroads and railroad
equipments which were in best de-
mand. Steels, also expected to be
hit less than most companies in
operation of the tax, were strong.
War issues generally improved
on speeding of the national de-
fense program and indications
that Britain was preparing to step
up purchases in this country.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
stock averages: Industrial 134.33,
up 1.69; Rail 29.O5; up 0.53; Utility

Braw|eY. FL centro Reopen
Oldest Valley Grid Feud

The chips go down on the
line Friday night when Braw-
lev and Ell Centro high school
football teams clash in the
season opener on the Braw-
ley gridiron. 49,.
It's the game that reopens the
valleys oldest gridiron rivalry ano
unless precedent is shattered 1t Will
mark the hardest tackling, tough
est blocking and most inspired run
ming of the season.
Brawley and FL Centro will go into
Friday nights game on just about
even terms. Brawley will hold an
edge in experience with IA return
ing lettermen, but El Centre will
enjoy a short weight advantage in
the starting lineup.
Brawley's forward wall of Ulloa,
LesSica, Jack, Hall, Miyaga, Kohatsu
and Brownell will average close to
IT pounds and El Centro's front
line of Carson. Thanner, Stevenson,
Longacre, Fabares, Console, Carey
will hit an average of TIA.
Brawley's starting backfield of
Williams, Minter, Navarro and Rodri-
guez will average 143, Ell Centro's
secondary of Oswalt, Morgan, Pat
terson as the speediest runner, Nor
gan as a piercing runner, Robertson
as plunger. Gene Oswalt will call
signals and do share of the pass
ing.
Warren Riedy, letterman back
from last years squad, reported to
practice late and is still on the Sec
ond string backfield with Ritter,
Alarcon and Thanner. The second
backfield will see good deal of
action, according to Coach Raleigh
Holt.
The Spartans ran through their
first scrimmage Monday night and
scored three touchdowns against the
third stringers. There were no cas-

team this series. And their inspir-
alton will come from fear of
what the hometown customers are
likely to do to them if they take
another licking. Cinclnnati's citizens
have not forgotten that four
straight banging the Yankees hand
ed their heroes a year ago. Let the
Reds do another ncJedive and the
enraged customers might come right
down out of the stands and start
playing game of mass hare and
hounds.
Another factor that will work to
the Reds advantage is the age of
the Detroit infield. Exact statistics
are not available but I believe the
average age of the Tiger inner
line of defense is something like 81
and that two of the members of
it will have to be excused from play
in the fourth game to celebrate gol-
den wedding anniversaries.
The series should go six games
with Cincinnati winning the first
one. S to q. The Tigers will take
the second to 3. but the Reds will
take the next two, 3 to and to 2.
The Tigers will pull up to 2-3 by
winning the fifth. but the series will
end with the next game when the
Reds do their only real hitting in the
series and win to 2.
Further sure fire predictions are
that first baseman Mccormick will
be the standout player of the series,
with Detroits Gheringer a close
second. Bobo Neysom will get hit
by a batted ball, Mrs. Edward
Pumpton will catch the first two
foul balls hit into the stands, and
Derringer will give up only three
hits in the opening game.

Scrimnlage Builds
Imperial Hopes
To New High !

Imperial high schools varsity
football machine emerged from a
tough scrimmage session Monday
night and brought predictions from
Imperial observers that the Tigers
are due to spring a few surprises in
this years valley league grid race.
The Tigers open their season
against Calipatria in practice
game on the northend field Thurs
day night and will be heavy favor
ite to win. The following Friday
night Imperial opens its league sea-
son against Ell Centro Spartans.
In Mondays practice session Roy
Gardner, speedy back, showed an
amazing running ability and occa-
sionally outran his interference.
Bob Danskin showed well as a
passing back and Nakazona loomed
as a successful plunging fullback.
Plays, according to Coach Klein,
were somewhat ragged, but there
was a feeling in Imperial that the
Tigers would be ready for Ell Centro
come Oct. IL.

CINCINNATI, Oct. l. CUP)-The

certain about it than that Judge

authority from Abner Doubleday
down to Tallulah Bankhead is a
liar. The first thing that a baby
in thisscountry is told is that pitch
ing is rs per cent of winning base
ball. The Reds have Derringer,
Walters, Thompson Turner and
Beggs to toss against the Tigers,
and all the Tigers have to answer
with are Rowe, Newsom and Bridges.
After these three are used up De-
troit will have to appeal to the
stands for help.
In the second place, the National
League just can't go on losing world
series to the American League for

straight and it's a long worm that

Ford Frick has issued strict orders
against the Nationals losing this

Big Ten. The defeat was crusher
for Washington because it had been
talking about turning out its great
est team in history. U. G. L. A.ohe
of the good teams on the coast
was defeated 9-6 by Southern Me-
thodist. which looms as real chal-
lenger to Texas A. & M. IN the
southwest. Washington State, sup
posedly one of the weak sisters
on the Pacific coast held mighty
Southern California to 14-l4 tie
but don't count U. S. c. out OF IL
vet because those Trojans are no.
toriously slow starters.
Ohio State and Michigan stack up,
along with Minnesota, as the best
in the midwest with few schools
still to be heard from. Ohio State
shellacked Pittsburgh, 30-7, While
Michigan, with Tommy Harmon
leading tie attack, humbled CAN
fornia, 400.
In the east nothing important
happened because all the big teams
that played had pushover opponents.
Off the records here's how the
national picture looks as the boys
get ready for the second week:
Best teams on opening day-Bos-
ton College, Minnesota, Michigan
Southern Methodist, Wake Forest,
Ohio State and Mississippi
Teams which looked good against
opponents ranging from pushovers
to moderately tough Duke, Ala
bama. Auburn, Georgia, Texas Ag-
gies, Tennessee, Texaa Oregon State
and Santa Clara.
Teams which should be good and
will get their chance to prove 1t in
opening games this Teek--Notre

Biggest disappointment of the

last year and whipped only by Texas

First Returns

The first returns are in and 1t
looks like all the dizzy football sea-
sons of the past will be nothing
compared to this one.
Already on the list of the defeated
are Washington, North Carolina,
Louisiana State, U. c. l.. A. and Tu-
lane. and another great gridiron
power, Southern California, has its
record marred by tie.
So hold your hats boys-we'll be
lucky to have one undefeated team
at the end of the season if things
continue to happen like they did
over the past weekend VIXEN tlN
campaign officially opened.
On the basis Of inaugural-day per-
formances, we offer today trio Of
real dark-horse teams-Boston Col
lege. Wake Forrest and Mississippi.
Everyone knew Boston College was
good-but not good enough to de-
feat Tulane, one of last years great
teams, by 27-7 score. Boston Col
lege had pair of lads named Char
ley " 1NOul hc 1llQ MlChCy SOiliiOlis
operating for them, and paste these
names in your hat because you're
going to hear more about them this
year.
Wake Forest was tabled as good
but not good enough to defeat
North Carolina, 14-0. And Missis-
sippi, scoring 13 points in the last
five minutes of play to defeat Lou
isiana State 1876, may be the team
to beat down in that tough South
eastern Conference where at least
half a dozen teams have chance
to win the title.

the world series opening UOIIloiioW
against the Detroit Tigers.
The Reds sick list is terrific and
unless medical science can bring
about miracle Manager Bill NC
Kechnie will field team that in
cludes a 4O-year-old catcher, light
hitting substitute second baseman
and a second-string left fielder.
The Tigers became solid betting
favorites last night when they swag-
gered into town led by such gigantic
and healthy citizens as Hank Green
berg, Schoolboy Rowe and Buck
Newsom. Manager Del Baker is suf-
fering from a slight cold but the
boys who will hit and pitch and
field are in the pink and ready to
start shooting for the fences at
Crosley Field.
Work Out Today
Both teams will work out today
and then McKechnie and Baker are
expected to name their starting pit
chers. For Cincinnati it is almost
certain to be either Paul Derringer
or Bucky Walters, two of the top
right handlers of the National league.
Derringer, with uncanny control and
the reputation of being q great mon
ey pitcher, probably will get the
nod.
Detroit's aces are Newsom, the
nonstop talker, and Rowe, once
king of the American league right
handlers and now finishing off a
season in which he made glorious
comeback. Newsom, strong. strap
ping, confident and able to pitch
three times in a seven-game series
if necessary, looks like the best bet
to open for the Tigers.
The doctors will bring in their fl
nal verdict on the injured Reds this
afternoon, and the few words spoken
by the MD.'s probably will have a
heavy bearing on the series. What
kept the Cincinnati fans awake with
worry last night was the condition
of Ernie Lombardi, the big catcher
who provides good part of the
punch in the Reds batting order.
The big guy has Sprained right
ankle which he will test gingerly
this afternoon. If he can't start,
Jimmy Wilson, 40-years old and for
merly a coach for the Reds, will take
over the catching. He probably would
do a competent job behind the
plate, but his bat doesn't speak the
same language that Lombardi's does.
Lonnie Frey, second baseman and
one of the best pivot men in base
ball, is the second Cincinnati cas-
ualty. A water cooler lid fell on his
foot and fractured a toe, and yes
terday Frey reported that every
time he made a fast start or stop
pain shot through his foot. If he
is unable to 60, McKechnie will
plug the hole at second base with
Eddie Joost, fairly fancy fielder
but not much of a hitter.
The third injured party is Jimmy
Ripple, left fielder and a good clutch
hitter He has an injured right hand,
but the latest report from the
physician is that he is further along
the road to recovery than any OF
his injured teammates.
II none of the cripples is able to
start, it means McKechnie will have
only one left handed hitter-Ival
Goodman-to throw in against the
right-handed pitching staff of the
Tigers.
Despite all his troubles, McKech-
ME oozed confidence when he went
to bed last night. He believes Der
ringer Walters and Junior Thomp-
son have enough stuff on the ball
to hold that Tiger.
