Secs Win Two: Hold Lead
Ry UNITED PRESS

The Sacramento Cardinals,
imbued with hustle by John
Leonard Roosevelt Martin,
the OF pepper-pot IN person,
still hold their lead in the Pacific
Coast league and this week go up
against the Los Angeles, club a
bit more troublesome than the Port
land Beavers.
The Solons took five out of six
games from the Beavers, climaXlng
the week with 9 double-Win Sunday,
10 to and 2 to !. They thus kept
a game and a half ahead OF Seat
ties Rainiers, who took Los An
geles four out of five games, in
cluding the Sunday double-header
4 to 0 and 3 to 2. Seattle plays at
Oakland this week.
San Diego and Hollywood, each
with two victories, meet again to-
night. The teams divided yester-
day. San Diego winning the opener
8 to 2, and the Stars the nightcap
to 0. Tuesday San Diego is host
to San Francisco while Hollywood
entertains Portland.
Oakland won it's series from San
Francisco, four games TO two, split
ting. the Sunday bill. The Acorns
took the first game, to 3, and the
Seals the nightcap, TO 2.
Dick Barrett pitched his second
win OF the week when Seattle won
the first game from Los Angeles,
permitting the Angels only four hits.
Bill Matheson drove three runs
across for the Rainiers. Ed Cole
turned in a six-hitter TO win the
second game. Al Niemiecs triple
scored Dick Gyselman with the
winning run in the fourth inning.
Johnny Moores home run for Los
Angeles in the seventh was an anti
climax. Gyselman homeIed in the
eighth inning OF the first game.
Bill Thomas won his own game
for San Diego in the opener when
his double scored three runs in the
eighth inning-a frame that saw
five Padre runs score. Mel MaZzera'9
homer accounted for the other two.
Thomas gave the Stars only six hits,
while Lou Tost and Alex weldon
were touched for II. Ira Bittner
turned the Padres back with three
hits in the nightcap while the Stars
were reaching Yank Terry and Al
Olsen for three runs in the fourth.

Bic League Baseball Season Opens
Warmerdam Raises Sights
After New Record Vault

SONORA, Calf, April Il.
(UP)-Perhaps the sky's the
limit, after all. 1t doesn't
seem so high since Cornelius
Warmerdam pole vaulted 15
feet, 2SS inches, to q new world rec
ord while competing for the Olym-
pic club against Stanford university
Saturday.
Warmerdam. now a school teach
er at Tuolumne, high in the Mother
Lode country said today he was
confident a vault OF IS feet, six
inches, Is possible, and that he'll try
for It this season.
Maybe it was too bad I climbed
so high on my first competitive
vault OF the season" said the for
mer Fresno State college athlete.
Il didn't think I was in that fine
condition. But maybe. on the other
hand. il means I Will be in better
condition. vault higher, later on
When Warmerdam yaulted Is feet

and thereafter was married. sports
writer's decided he would quit and
earn a living.
1t was Mrs. WarAerdam. how
ever that caused him to continue
his competition. She wanted TO see
him vault. And now that she's seen
him IN action. he'll continue, ap-
pearing in as many meets as his
school teaching will permit. Warm
erdam said he'd take his wife to
the National AAU championship
this year.
Now 26, Warmerdam weighs Just
100 pounds against the l66 pounds
he carried when he first topped Is
feet last year. Apparently the loss
OF those pounds helped him.
Three times he has cleared Is

A Tribute .

A Tribute -.
El Centro high school has no hall
Of fame for its outstanding athletes,
but if it had. there would be an
other niche carved for the name OF
Warren Red" Riedy to be placed
alongside the records of El Centres
sports immortals.
Reds name would be listed among
outstanding performers OF the past
which include such well known
athletes as Bill Peters, Bill Max
well, Russ Byrd, Walter Wakefield,
Dave Wynn, Dick Hammer. Myrei
Gillett, Leroy kirkpatrick and 9TH
ers too numerous TO mention.
Riedy's performance, however,
possibly oyershadowed them all
because during his high school car
eer Warren has earned ten varsity
letters in major sports.
AS a sophomore Riedy collected
letters in football. basketball ani
baseball. AS junior he picked up
three more letters in the same sport
and as a senior he added a track
letter to his list of accomplish
ments. The strange part OF the
story is that Red could probably
have made track letters every year
and boosted his total 10 y, had he
bothered to go out for track be-
fore this season.
In football Riedy never was chos-
en- on the all-valley football team.
though he missed that selection by
only one vote in tally at the end
of the 1910 season. He was rated
however, the most valuable man to
the high school squad during the
1910 season.
Riedy accomplished his starring
feats in football the hard way. Not
blessed with unusual speed, Riedy
made up for it with tricky running
and a determination to gain an ad-
ditional yard after being hit by a
tackler. He was a better than aver
age passer and fair punter.
Riedy learned his basketball under
the masterful teaching of Coach
Larry Hanson, one of the finest cage
mentors to hit the valley, and he
paid off dividends for Hansons S
trouble for three seasons.

This season Riedg was coaXed on

Holt and he responded with win

the hop-step-jump events in each
OF FL Centro's meets.
Riedy never tried his hand at

The versatile lad originally plan
ned to attend UCLA next season

with the idea of attending Riedley

could use Riedy in his plans for
next season and Red could profit
from additional training before en-
