AWAIT
GAM

Imperial Valley baseball
fans and players alike Satur-
day awaited opening games
of the 1943 winter league
/ season in three ball parks
Sunday afternoon.
In El Centro the Ortiz All-Stars
are to meet the BraWley Merchants.
At the same time the FL Centre
townies are to play the MeXicali
Maya squad below the border and
team from the federal migratory
camp in Brawley will meet Braw-
ley Eastside team on a northern
diamond.
Les Flores. small hurler for the
El Centro toWnieS who has not
been defeated in a preseason prac-
/ tice game. was a doubtful starter
/ for the game in MeXicali. Flores
hurt his back in one of the last
practice games and has been advised
/ by his doctor to pitch only If he
feels up to it.
MAY USE CHICK
Should Flores be unable to pltch,
the townies, who are mostly men,
bers of last years championship
Heber squad, may have to call upon
Amos Chick for mound duty.
Flores work thus far in the sea-
son includes a one-hit Shutout
against the Brawley Merchants.
Manuel Ortiz, world champion
bantamweight boxing champ who
leads the All-Stars, has reorganized
his squad, putting several young
players into the lineup. Jerry Wo-
mack, one OF the leading pitchers
and infielders on the champion
ship FL Centre high school team of
1912, will hold down the shortstop
position for Ortiz Womack hit over
400 against high school pitching
last season.
LOSES PLAYERS
Ortiz lost a number of players at
the last draft call and is still look
ing for requirements for his team.
The Eastside team in Brawley is
newly organized and is made up Of
remnants of a team of the same
name that played in last years
league.
The migratory camp team has
never before entered league COM
petition but yias played several
practice games with teams that are
also entered.
Marines from the El Centre air
station have organized a team and
have indicated that they would
like to play but since they were
not represented at a meeting where
the first half of the league sched-
ule was drawn up, they were not in
cluded.
1t may still be possible to inject
the Marine nine into the arrange
mentS and work out a suitable
schedule. Dick Lingane, Brawley,
has been handed the duties of look
ing out for the league welfare.

half time and at the third quarter
interval The junior college Arabs
had gone ahead to an early lead
11-9. at the end of the first period
but by half time it was all tied up
at 1928.
NET POINTS
In the third period both squads
netted six points to keep the score
knotted at 1929 1t was in the final
period that the fast pace of the
small Spartan forwards began to
tell on the larger boys. The Spart-
ans spurted to four point lead and
kept it until the final whistle.
Little Nolan Harvey, Spartan for
ward, won the applause of the sew
eral hundred students jammed into
the small gymnasium by his pass
ing and remarkable ball handling.
Although he netted only six points
he was the most outstanding player
on either squad.
Scoring honors for both teams
went to Lewis Jackson, center for
the Spartans. He tanked Is points
from every conceivable angle. He
was most deadly, however, on one
handed Set-up shots from either
side of the basket.
Tall Jack Suttle, Arab guard,
pressed Jackson closely in the scor-
ing race, marking up Ia points.
Suttle scored many baskets on re-
bound shots under the basket which
he was able to touch through.
SURPRISE OF GAME
Surprise of the game was Bob
Graham, husky Spartan guard, who
was responsible for II points. Gra-
ham had just returned from the
northern part of the state after
missing several days of practice. He
gave the Spartans much needed
height under the basket and made
most of his points on rebounds.

FAV0RITESFALL
in UPSET WAVE
AT GARDEN ARENA

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (UP)
Sgt. Jackie Wilson, welter-
weight challenger and Joey
Peralta, lightweight conten-
der, We're chief victims last
night in the greatest wave of upsets
that ever swept Madison Square
Garden.
Wilson, the chocolate soldier
from Mitchell Field, N. Y, lost a
1C-round decision to Middleweight
Jake Lamotta of the Bronx, and
Peralta. in the co-feature 10-round-
er, dropped the duke to ancient
Chalky Wright of Los Angeles. for
mer featherweight champ whom
Peralta had licked in 1941.
Wilson was fl tavorlte over
his heavier opponent Lamotta
while Peralta was favored at q. to
| over Wright. In similar fashion,
the faVoriteS in the four prelim-
inaries were outpointed or knocked
out. giving the longshot players a
tield-night.
Sgt Wilson suffered the costliest
upset, because the Los Angeles
laruper was trying to prove that
be was a more formidable AT
pound contender than unbeaten
young Ray Robinson of Harlem,
who won a decisive decision over
la Motta last October. Had Will
son won last nights bout, he would
have been tossed into the Garden
ring with Young Robinson on Feb.
s. But his defeat not only cam
celled such a meeting, it virtually
assured that Robinson will go into
the army Jan. %.

SPORTS PARADE
Rickey Finally Succumbs

In view of this trade, which will
send the Dodgers with their snow
shoes, skis and tonkins to Bear
Mountain. we would suggest that
Hickey be appointed one-man
committee to deal with the Japs.
We're confident that he could talk
them into giving us Truk island,

base, for Barren island in New
York harbor, destination for much
of the city refuse.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 - CUP)-
Three men on a horse made history
in the entertainment world. Three
men on a base actually made the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Until those his
toric athletes piled up on the Eb-
bets Field sack and started going
through the Alphonse -and-Gaston
apologies, the Dodgers had no real
claim to fame as the dizziness boys
And in the same vein you can
expect three or more Dodgers to
"coagulate" on a base at the Dodg-
ers' new spring training camp, Bear
mountain. We mean that three or
more Dodgers will collect on any
given base to keep warm, it will
be SO cold during the spring at
Bear Mountain, N. Y.
If the late Uncle Bobbie, or Lar
ry MacPhail, were guiding the des-
TIMES of the Dodgers, you might
expect a wartime training shift to
spot that has been famous for its
ski jumping and winter sports. But
with conservative Branch Hickey
at the Brooklyn helm, you would
expect training site as far south
as the government allows.
HAS SUCCUMBED
But Hickey - although he has
been exposed for only couple of
months to the "nertzogania of the
gowanus" - apparently has Sue
cumbed to Brooklinitis. In seeking
a southern" training camp for
Dodger athletes who may survive
the various war avenues, Branch
has gone north. He picked camp
that has been publicized largely as
Winter-spOrts ground
We don't know when the snow
leaves Bear Mountain, but we'll
wager it's a lot later than the date
on which Branch Hickey figures. He
has ordered the FlatbuSh flock to
report on March Is. Maybe he is
right, but if we know our Bear
Mountain those Dodgers had better
show up with skis and snoWshoes.
And they had better perfect their
gelandeSprungS, herringbone as
cents, kick turns, qGersprungs, tele-
marks and vorlage toddies.
On the face of President Branch
Rickey'S announcement, it would
seem that this staid Sunday school
teacher was launching the Dodgers
upon the daffiest training the be
loved buns" ever knew And may
be that's just what Hickey wants
the public to think, because he
barely mentions the fact that the
Dodgers - in inclement weather.
will work out in the huge field
house of the US. military academy
at West Point, N Y, about five
miles from the Bear Mountain ski
jump.
SPACIOUS HOUSE
The field house is one of the
most spacious and adequately
equipped arenas Of its kind in the
east. The batting cage measures
400 by 200 feet, and the entire
field is enclosed by a net.
This muscling in on West Point
in wartime with a civilian sport
verges on the miraculous, but it can
be understood when one appreciates
that the man who put it over is
Branch Hickey, the David Harum
of baseball-the greatest trader in
the game.
You will recall that Hickey first
wanted the Mammoth field house
at Yale, New Haven, Conn, for his
Dodgers, and that he gave up this
ideal training facility only after
being assured that the Army Avia-
ton corps insisted upon having it.
So-apparently, Hickey made a
deal with Uncle Sam. The army
could have the Yale field house if
the Dodgers could have the army
field house at West Point.
