Government Asks
For Shotguns
To Arm Guards

A nationwide roundup of 70
gauge shotguns got under way Mon
day and Imperial Valley was ex-
pected to turn in a large share to
the government.
The guns are not expected to be
donated to the government and each
gun-oWner who turns in one will be
paid, press releases have said.
Advices received here said the
guns would be turned over to var
louS state guard units and other
groups who are officially recogniz-
ed BY the government as defense
organizations. These various organ
lzatlonS have turned in their regu-
lar army guns and they are now be-
ing utilized by allied soldiers.
The local Western Auto Store at
669 Main street is the Ell Centre
receiving station for the guns and
the store manager, A. H. Edens,
will make arrangements for their
purchases. Upon acceptance the
government will pay up to $50 each
Tor the weapons.
Only 12-gauge guns are wanted
and only automatic or pump guns
will be bought.

NEW YORK, March 15.-(UP)-
The first great Negro mile king in
the history of track and field,
Frank DiXon-smooth-s -striding New
York University freshman - today
ruled a firm favorite to capture the
Bankers mile in the Chicago relays
at Chicago stadium this weekend.
Dixon will run against Gil Dodds,
Boston divinity student, and Earl
Mitchell of Indiana University in
shooting for his fourth big victory

eted to the star role in the regular
mile cast Saturday night when he
pounded home before 10000 fans
in Madison Square Garden to win
the Columbian mile in 4096.
Dixon came from second place,
five yards back of Dodds, to take
the lead at the start of the
bell lap and maintained a
three-yard edge to the tape He
had previously won the mile fix
lures in the Boston A.A. meet, and
the National A.A.U. championships.
BY virtue of his latest win he sue
ceedS to the eminence formerly oc-
cupied by Leslie MacMitchell, an
other N.Y.U. great.
DiXon's performance was the fea-
ture of a meet which rung down
the curtain on the local board track
season. Greg Rice, tracks little
experimentation man, gained some
measure of the spotlight by churn-
ing to his 62nd consecutive vic
tory. Rice Tapped the entire field
to triumph in the tWo-mile run in
1927, only 16 seconds above his
own world mark and the fastest
time over the route in the indoor
campaign.
Only meet record equalled was
in the high jump, won by towering
Bill Vessie. Columbia's undefeated
star. Vessie made his best leap of
the season, 6 feet 8 inches, to tie
the meet mark registered in 1885 by
George Spitz of N.Y.U.
The early pace in the mile was
turned on by Mitchell, who raced
through the first quarter in COB,
but Dodds, winner of the N.Y.A.C.
mile, took over at the half The

mark in 2:0E7 as Dixon loped into

lineup remained that way until
they hit the tape. Five yards behind
/ Dodds came Jimmy Rafferty, of the
N.YA.C., with Don Burnham of

ly out of it.

Close
Tilt I'm


While the Ell Centre Marines were
staging a field day in taking lop-
sided 24-l2 victory over the visiting
| Army Engineers the BraWley Fed
eral Migratory ball club had to use
every trick in their bag Sunday to
squeeze out a 80 win over the alert
Merchant aggregation.
The Engineers battled the Mar
ines on the El Centro diamond and
the Merchants and Migratory club
| tangled in Brawley. Neither con-
test drew a large crowd and both
games were hampered by wind and
| dust
The Engineers did not bring all
of their regular players and as
result their substitutes had trouble
in coping with the hitting attacks
of the Marines.
The Army used PARA in the pitch
er'S box for part of the game while
Jones went most of the route for
the Marines.
GETS HOME RUN
Highlight OF the local Tray was
smashing homer midway Of the
contest by Jones. From then on the
Marines stepped through the event
at fast pace.
Much of the Armys trouble, iioW-
ever, came as result of wind and
dust and flies were frequently mis-
judged.
The victorious Marines will settle
down to training during the week
for a tussle next Sunday with the
powerful Ell Centro town team. The
Ell Centrans recently handed the
Marines a close 4-3 beating and q
nip and tuck Skirmish looms.
The Brawley game was tight
throughout as both clubs turned in
handsome pieces of defense play
ing.
White put the tilt on ice for the
federals with a lusty two-bagger in
the final inning

players amt what it used to be,
nevertheless, dauntless members Of
nine major league clubs assemble

become the last team to begin

Stringent war restrictions, which

have pared the training exercises
to about a months time and forced
the teams to select camps in an
area bounded roughly on the south
by the Ohio and Potomac rivers
and by the Mississippi on the west.
Only the st. Louis Browns at Cape
Giradeau, Mo-, will train outside
of that area.
Situated hundreds of miles from

sports jackets and sun-glasses as
important items in players apparel.
