Not more than fifty spectators
saw the FL Centro game. Heper
tnrned out a big crowd as has been
the case at all games there. Sun
dav's crowd in El Centre was much
larger than the Sunday before when
. scant ,,ozen persons saw the
game.
we muss have better support
from the fans all team managers
chorused after Sundays games.
We only expect the collections at
the games to break even with eX-
,anses. but we can't keep on at
the rate of attendance in the first
three games, they declared.
The Brawley Merchants won their
second straight victory of the season
Sunday at the expense OF the Hclt-
vile naval air station behind the
seven-hit pitching of marine Bob
Coffman. The final score stood 6-3
with the Merchants never behind.
Center fielder Clair Mitchell was
the batting star for Brawley with
two singles and a double. He
stretched one single into four bases
when the ball went through three
men in right field.
Heber marked the event by EN-
erging from the fog of defeats,
having lost the first and second
games of the Winter League sea-
son. At no time in the contest did
Flores weaken or find himself in
& hole as his team mates helped
make it a 100 per cent perform
ance.
Womack who started on the
mound for the Merchants, struck
cut nine men in five and third
innings when he was relieved by
Dumler.

Official Warns
On Parents
Sinking Duties

LOS ANGELES. Sept. o. CUP)-
There is a danger that state schools
for delinquents would be used by
irresponsible parents to dump their
normal parental responsibilities In
the lap of the state. Harold A. Slane.
member of the California Youth au-
thority, told senate committee
considering the establishment of
such schools.
Slane said he favored the idea.
but warned that unless parents who
are financially able to pay for the
care and education of their children
are made to pay, many thousands
will attempt TO foist their own nor
NAL responsibilities on the state and
the public treasury.
He suggested that the school sys-
tenn be operated under a system en-
tireIy divorced from the juvenile
courts and with no stigma of the
penal system. He further recon-
mended that local citizens or Off
cials decide which children should
attend the schools.

federal employees to get around

Bodied in the Smith -Connally and
Hatch acts. Democratic central

There are many advantages to
this system. Because the gunnerS

ner removed from his guns, he is
spared the jar and vibration of the

it was easier for gunners to track

said, has to move only small sight

plus the fact gunners do not have
to crowd themselves into cramped

The change, Boeing said, also
