Relays to Serve
As Preyiew of
CountyMeet

A preview of the annual Imperial
county track and field champion
ships will be shown at the Holt
vile high school cinder path Fri
day night starting at 7:30 accord
ing to Coach Ben Palmgren, when
six valley schools will battle for
first place in the Holtville relays.
The relays originally attracted 13
schools but coast schools were fore
ed to drop out because of conflict
ing meets and Yuma and Coached
IL high schools withdrew because
they were given little chance to
outpoint Brawley and El Centre.
AS a result six valley schools, Ell
Centro, Brawley, Holtville, Imperial,
Calipatrla and Dauglass will vie
for the title won last season by the
El Centro Spartans.
El Centro will again be favored
this season because of its strength
in the middle distance and distance
events as we'll as field events.
Brawley, however, with individual
stars in the sprint division, should
run a close second and could up
set.
The rest Of the teams are in just
for the experience and few in
dividual championships because
none boast the balance of power
that makes El Centro and Brawley
the favorites.
More than 100 athletes are sche-
duled to compete.

Girl SoftboIIers Open
Season Here Next Week
San Die go Team
To Oppose Locals

1t is usually customary to
open a sport season, whether
it be football, badm;nton or
softball, with a pushover for
the sake of reputation and
future drawing power, but not so
for the El Centre girls softball
team.
The FL Centro gals, who will par
ade under the name of Mobil-goils
as representatives of the General
Petroleum, will instead open with
what is probably the finest girls
softball team in southern Califor-
nia-the Cramers Bakery team of
San Diego.
Cramers. which has won the San
Diego county championship for the
past five years, will officially open
the softball season in FL Centre
stadium one week from Friday
night.
Two former valley players, Lanelle
Stewart and Bobbie-Sue Robertson,
are reserves on the Cramer team
and will see action in at least half
of the game, according to Lefty
Walters, El Centre manager
Walters, who has more than 80
players out for his 194l edition of
softball beauties, will start Nowassa
Westover on the mound against the
San Diegans. Yvonne Vanderlinden
will be on hand for reserve duty.
The rest of the lineup has not
been fully determined as several
players are battling for each posi-
ton, according to Walters.
The 1910 girls team was the best
to ever represent the valley and
managed to score three victories
over San Diego teams. Walters VOWS
that the 1941 sluggers will out
slug last years team.

Mr.. Walters went rigni on talking,
scarcely missing syllable.
He was talking about his girls
softball team, team that, accord
ing to the voluble Walters, will be
the finest to ever represent the
valley. Walters has pitchers, catch
ers, infielders and outfielders gal
ore. All can hit, run and field SO
well that with only little encour-
agement Lefty would book the Yam
KEGS for a three game series.
At catcher for instance Lefty has

Lefty Gomez

Nv oObsS&
Senor Lefty Gomez just rared
back and kept tossing EN- at the
heaviest hitting ball club in the
major leagues, the Boston Red Sox,
Wednesday afternoon in Yankee
stadium and at the end of II long
innings he had chalked up victory
No. 2 of this infant season.
Lefty stopped the Red Sox, AZ,
in Wednesdays game and thereby
justified the Yankees confidence
in the former ace Of the New YORK
mound staff.
There's no use pretending that
Gomez has returnid to the form
he showed back in 1884 when he
won 26 games. The fast ball does
nit hop like it USED 10 and pitchers
don't go On winning forever. But
there are apparently quite few
good games left III the senor's
flipper and the evidence presented
so far would indicate he will be
handy fellow to have around.
He might even turn in the nee
essary number of games to put the
Yankees in the world series. AND
If that happens, look out. Mr.. Co.
mez has started six games when
the blue chips were on the line in
the series and six times he has
come home, the winnah.
