Bird War Victims

Thousands of ducks, gulls, and
other aquatic birds are meeting
death in troubled waters of World
War II. Torpedoed ships or de-
stroyed submarines set afloat oil
which coats the surface of the wa
ter. Birds are attracted, land in
the oil, become soaked, and are
unable to fly.
In time the fuel oil peculiarly
penetrates the natural oil on the
birds feathers, and water reaches
the skin-this chills and kills the
birds.

Black ido,v Spider

The black widow spider is right
fully called a widow for she eats
her spouse Immediately after mat
ing. Drop for drop her venom
is the most potent poison created
by a living organism. 1t is Is
times stronger in concentration
than venom of a prairie rattle

However, a rattlesnake is en-
dowed with much greater charge
of venom-as much as 200 black

more deadly.

Challenged to
Return Contest

After taking a l4-13 pasting at
the hands of the Ell Centro Boy
Wonders Tom Finney's Business
Men of Softball have challenged the
youths to a return game next We'd
nesday afternoon, it was announced
Friday.
Although the score indicated an
extremely close fracas the Rev.
Hayden Sears, manager of the Boy
Wonders, declared he practically
gave the Oldstcrs their score by
Jerking his first string hurlCr, Bill
Blackard, and replacing him with q
third Stringer early in the contest.
Finney's roster of players looked
like combination of all the lunch
con clubs in Ell Centre and in spite
Of their inactivity tin most cases.
throughout the years spectators
were awcd by the fact that many
of them were actually able to
negotiate the entire distance around
the bases. These iauntS included
lengthy stops at each base, how
ever.
Finncy has predicted a victory for
his aggregation based chiefly on
the fact that in the coming game
they will now know the size OF a
baseball and which end of bat to
use.
The skirmish will start at a p. II.

DESIRES NO
POLITICIAN FOR
CO0RDINATOR
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, May IA CUP)-We
hope that the Washington brass
hats will be as sensible in select
ing sports coordinator as were
the office of price administration
and the war food administration in
ruling that customers need not buy
an equal amount of sherbet with
every order of ice cream.
In other words, we see no reason
tol a "tic-in" of sports with politics
IN designating the coordinator.
There's no apparent necessity for
the COOrdinator being a senator,
CONGRESSMAN or any other politician
dependent upon sectional or fac
tional votes. or upon favorS be-
slowed.
Modern american sports have
skicd away from politics and their
accompanying "spoilS system
whenever possible for their own
preservation. Hence the United
States has enjoyed the most wide
spread and healthy growth of
sports in the history of nations.
Freedom from political contami-
nation has been a prime factor in
the cleanliness of our amateur
sports and organized baScball-and
in the resulting public confidence
il those sports. Professional box
ing and racing have not been able
tn avoid political involvements. but
that was largely the fault of the
two sports-the fault of the men in
boxing and racing who permitted
evils to flourish to such an extent
that commission control became a
necessity. If one were seeking a
horrible example" of a tic-in OF
sports and politics, it can be found
today in professional boxing in
many states.
