There will be no playoff for the
first half in the b softball league
although three teams are tied for
first, managers of the eight league
teams had agreed Monday.
Instead, the teams will launch in
to the second SeVen-week round this
week and if at the end of the en-
tire 14-week's schedule two or more
teams are tied. then a championship
game or series will be arranged.
All team pilots met Sunday morn
ing to discuss league happenings
and determine the course of action
for the remainder of the season.
1t was decided to leave the surplus
money collected from all-star games
in the treasury to use in case future
games are scheduled. If there Is
any money left at the end OF the
season it will be divided among the
different clubs.
At the end of the first week
round the City of Ell Centro, the
Imperial Irrigation District office
and the Acme teams are in a bunch
at the top of the standings. Each
has won five games and has but two
losses. The Ortiz All-Stars is in
second place with three wins and
three losses zone game remaining
on SCHEDULED, the Telephone COM
pany, Cramers and the Post-Press
are in third place with three wins
and four losses and the 20-30 club
brings up the tail-end with no wins
and six losses.

Father time will have to shake
a leg if he expects some day to
bring an honorable end to the brill
liant pitching career of Sam Glib
son, 42-year-old ace of the San
Francisco Seals hurting corps.
San Sambo, his joints creaking
but his cunning never keener, blank
ed the Hollywood Stars, 10, in the
first game of a Pacific Coast league
doubleheader Sunday, thereby run
ming his streak of scoreleSS innings
to 80 and endangering the mark of
SO set by Jimmy Whalen many
seasons ago. 1t marked GibsonS
third straight shutout and his 18th
win of the season as well as his
1S3rd victory in 10 years of toiling
for the San Francisco club.
That the Seals dropped the sec
ond game to the Stars by a score
of 8-6 and managed to salvage only
two contests in seven during the
weeks series were only incidental
in light of Gibson's remarkable
eight-hit hurting. He was opposed
by another 'youngster 3-year-old
Charley Root-Who dished out only
three hits, including a fifth-inning
homer by Ferris Fain for the lone
run of the game.

Bakers blue eyes snapped beneath
heavy brown broWs, and his thin
lips frightened as he declared. the
Yanks-huh! They're not so much
this season. If we only had last
years hitting I'm pretty sure we'd
beat them out for the pennant.
I'VE may anyway, with the weak
est hitting club in the league. I GER
tainly havn't given up yet"
Baker, manager of the Tigers,
still smouldered with fight al
though the grand Sunday double
header with the Yanks was over,
and subsiding crowds sounds could
be heard down in the dressing room
as huge Yankee stadium disgorged
nearly 10000 fans.
Perspiration dappled Del's sharp
lychiseled features and dripped
down onto his gray uniform as he
sat on a stool before his locker.
He was hot physically and mentally
after losing a l3-inning nightcap
to the Yanks, after beating them
in the opener.
SHOULDA WON
THAT game never should have
gone 13 innings Baker insisted.
I'VE should have won it in the
ninth-and would have, too, if Joe
DiMaggio hadn't got lucky and
pulled down Bob Harris drive deep
left center That ball was ticketed
for a home run, and it wasn't in
the books for DiMaggio to get it,
But he did"
A reporter cooled the perspiring
pilot somewhat b. remarking that
both games were great, from the
spectator angle-one of the finest
doubleheaders staged in New York
in years
"Yes," said Baker, they must
have been fine games to watch. We
always gave the Yanks plenty of
hell. In fact we've beaten them
seven out of IL games this season,
counting these two"
GOOD PITCHING
What was the explanation of the
Tigers success against the Yanks-
the success of a fourth place club

pitching. And we've got about the

We would not be a bit surprised
if Ell Centre high schools next
coach is Lou Birnbaum, assistant
coach at Central this year.
Birnbaum came to Ell Centre
from a little school in Wyoming
where he had produced several
championship teams and one that
battled for the state title. The
stocky physical education instruc-
tor is a disciple of Jeff Crayath,
now head coach at the University of
Southern California. Birn baum
filled in guard spot in the Den
yer university line when Cravath
was coaching there.
After coming to Ell Centre as an
assistant to Raleigh Holt, Birn-
baum quickly built up quite rec
ord for himself. He had charge of
the line of the Spartan football
team that easily proved itself SUI
perior to anything that Imperial
Valley had to offer. He coached
both the B and C football teams,
which did right well for them
selves, had charge of B and c bas-
ketball teams, and helped Holt
with the training of the Spartan
varsity cage crew. His shining eff
fort, however, was the producing
of championship baseball team
for Ell Centre for the first time in
II years. In our estimation he's
the man for the job.
Coach Holt asked us to convey a
message before he left for San Di-
ego, via Denver, Colorado. Holt, who
will become Hoover highs new
coach, was in Ell Centre for a brief
two-day stop before heading for

Abbott who reached the finals of
the national championship last fall,
won the 1912 western title yesterday
with and 6 victory over Bruce

He led his opponent, a former

laying all but two of his tee shots
down the middle and dropping
along puts before a gallery of
1000.
Abbott went three up at the end
of the morning round with a card
of 1864 against McCormack5s 73
for the 18 holes. He shot par for
the first nine holes OF the after
noon round while Mccormack went
three strokes over.
The Los Angeles soldier advanced
to the final over five opponents,
including Harry Giyan, Seattle,
former Walker Cup player, and
Verne Callison, Sacramento, north
