TOPS ACME TEAM
IN OPENING OF
LEAGUE, 1873

Imperial Irrigation District
office forces softball team
had sprung into the lead in
the B softball league Tuesday
after polishing off the dis
trict shop team, which now goes
under the name of Acme beer, 1873,
in city stadium.
The Acme team is now at the bot
tom of the ladder because Monday
nights was the first game of the
three months schedule. Tuesday
night the second game was sched-
uled between Cramer's and the Tele-
phone Co.
Dick wyatt, office pitcher, doled
out the hits effectively as he led
his team to the first win of the
season and limited the Acme team
to a minimum of extra base hits
Bruce Ritter and Allen Jernigan
alternated at catcher to complete
the battery.
j. DeMorSt and Beery shared the
Acme hurling duties and jackson
and AgneW took turns behind the
plate.
Hank Cauzza, office first base
man, made the most spectacular hit
of the evening when he poled a
homer with two men on board in
the first inning. He hit safely twice
more to lead batters with "3 for T."
Competition will begin to become
hotter after the first week of play
when teams get the kinks out OF
their lineups and really begin to
get down to business.
Wednesday night the teams lay
off but on Thursday the league race
resumes with a game between the
Post-Press team and the All-Stars of
Manuel Ortiz. Friday nights contest
will be between 20-30 club and the
City of Ell Centro.

Jim Vickers rose CALAMITY, ex-
tending his hand in greeting.
She enjoyed his grin.
Glad to know you, Penny"
Jim said. I'm sorry our little
game spoiled your lunch. We
don't always play so rough"

penny approved, ward ly
thankful that he did not recog-
nize her. 1T certainly was swell

He was getting the worst of it,
you know"
Lots of good fellows like Bill

said soberly. The showdown is
coming soon." Jim went on to
explain that on pay day Castro s
Shills worked the mill gates.
They're a tricky bunch. The
men have money. burning a hole
in their pockets. Castro pro-
vides the temptation and the
suckers lose their pay"
Il can't understand that" said
Penny. Don't the men know
they're being tricked?'
ITS hard TO explain, Penny"
Jim said. But the hunger for
excitement and fun is just as
Gnawing, sometimes, as the hun
ger for food. Castro runs every
place in town. The men wander
into one of his spots just TO haze
something different to do. Be-
fore they realize il they've had
too much to drink. If they don't
gamble their pay away on Cas-
tro's crooked games, they're ROLL
ed for their money"

face, and laughed suddenly.

ten on their bruised faces as
they stalked out.
Nudge and Pietro, suddenly as
calm as though this were an
everyday occurrence, surveyed
the damage.

Both Jim and the steel work
er nursed sore knuckles as Pen
ny served them with hands that
still shook.
Whats the story" Bill?" Jim
asked quietly. Bill took a long
drag on his cigaret before he
answered.
you've probably heard it a
hundred times, Jim. My broth

Castro's men cleaned him good

enough money left for bus fare.

threatened, clenching his fist.
IF they don't let my kid broth
er alone, I'll kill them!p
How did it happen, Bill?'
Jim's voice was soothing.
The same old racket" Bill
said, as if weary of repeating it.
"Castro's stooges were at the
mill gate, as usual, on pay day.
The kid brother is a good lad
He means well. But - well, like
the other fellows, he likes a good
time. They roped him into a
crooked dice game. He had a
few drinks with the boys. When
they finished, his pay was gone. -
Sure it was the Castro gang?"
asked Jim.
Sure" said Bill. "It's always
the Castro gang! They run this
town You know that, Jim"
Il know. You'd better lie low
for while" Jim cautioned.
They're a tough bunch. Don't
worry about thai outfit. Well

know what's good for them,

Penny sensed, somehow, that
this was the longest speech Bill
had ever made. With set lips and
bitter eyes, he walked out.
Jim Vickers pulled sheet OF
paper from an inner pocket, and
made few notes. Deity, Nudge

PENNY MEETS TIE EDITOR
CHAPTER III

witt bout warning, a steel
worker who had just came In
walked over to the table where
the we'll dressed quintet was
seated and lifted one of the men
from his seat. He STR k
furiously, before the unwary
group could come to its senses.
Methodically, like a machine, he
hammered first at one and then
at another of the men.
Then they were all on their
feet. Slugging with animal fe-
rocity, they ignored tables and
chairs in the melee that ragged
from one end of the restaurant
to the other. Penny stepped aside
just in time as her table was
overturned, the spaghetti spill
ing onto the floor in a tangled
mess. Out Of the corner of her
eye she saw Pietro lurch fror,
his kitchen screaming epithets
in a tongue she couldn't under
stand and waving a meat cleav-
er over his head. The men paid
no attention to him. In whirl-
wind of fists - the black shirt
ed steel worker seemed to be
spinning like a top, no match
for the men he had attacked.
Often his failing punches reach
ed their mark, but now he was
weakening.
Then, once more from no
where, came that m i r
tweed-suited figure, the broad
shoulders Penny recognized. She
wondered what jim Vickers
would do.
For a long moment, he hest
tsted. Then, taking il, the situa-
ton with sharp, thoughtful
glance, he plunged into the fight
with a thorough fierceness that
thrilled Penny in a strange way
she had no time to slnalyze.
Jim Vickers was power
house in action. He grappled
with two of The sleek haired
men and tossed them halfway
across the room as if they were
pebbles. Pietro, still shouting
! imprecations that no one could
understand, returned to the fray
with a more practical weapon, a
skillet which he bounced with
marked success off the head of
another member of the embat-
tied. quintet.
AS quickly as the fight had
begun it ended. Jim restrained
the irate Pietro and the scowl-
ing steel worker by grasping
their arms firmly in his strong
hands. The five who had been
beaten brushed dirt from their
trousers and glared i'm impotent
fury at their attackers, then
!. picked up their crushed hats, no
longer white.
