Charles Nice, representing the
Brawley area and chamber of COM
merce, and Rudolph Miller, of the
USDA War Board, will attend the
conference of 135 Sportmen's clubs
of southern California at Los An
geles Friday to seek their support

ton damages in Imperial Valley.
The men hope to gain the sup
port and cooperation of this group
in relieving the wildlife damages to
valuable Imperial Valley crops by
presentation of this evidence to
the Chicago national meeting.
Miller and Nice will ask the
southern California group to sup
port the valleys eight-point pro-
gram which includes:
Reopennig of the Federal Crop
Insurance program with the pro-
vision that that program cover
damages to growing crops damaged
by Wildlife and conditions under
which the farm has no control.
The ALLEGATION of sufficient am
munition to continue wildlife herd
ing, as well as herding privileges.
Lengthening of the hunting sea-
son to cover critical growing pe-

eral game reserves.
The establishment of feeding

Surplus Of Crop
Workers Shown

A surplus in seasonal crop WORK
ers exists this week in Imperial
Valley.
George Garrigues, farm labor
manager, reported Wednesday that
pea picking is complete and migra-
tory workers from Arizona cotton
fields are arriving making some 71O
unemployed workers on file.
The county now is employing
1O25O seasonal workers, 1000 gen.
eral farm hands $50 mixers, 600
tractor opeators, 400 irrigators and
100 miscellaneous workers to make
up the county agricultural workers
total of 1880.
The carrot peak was near at the
end of last week when $3.50 tiers
and packers were employed in this
activity which will require a top
load of 1000 workers. Lettuce cut
ting anC packing and winter toma-
to picking and packing were nearly
complete and 1000 workers were
reported employed.
A shortage of labor in the alfal-
ia harvest was anticipated by Gar
rigues. The $4,000 acres of alfalfa
will require a peak of 1923 men,
most of whom must be skilled labor
ers, he said.
Carload shipments of carrots
were trailing last seasons loadings
nearly 450 cars. Holtville had ship
ped 512, Ell Centro 412 and Braw-
ley 283 by Monday to make a total
of 1907 as compared to 1851 last
year.

%. CUP)-Gloom mantled the Hotel
Senator Wednesday as the process
of breaking up the world cham
pion Yankees continued at increased
tempo.
Latest double -barrelled blast at
the Yanks' pennant hopes was the
loss of battery Catcher Joe Glenn
and Pitcher Spud Chandler, top
finger in the American league.
Glenn was ordered Tuesday night
to report for induction into the
navy, April ]. Chandler got his call
for army induction Tuesday after
noon He will enter in mid-April
for limited service.
FOUR KEY MEN LOST
This meant the loss of four key
players within a week, because
Catcher Bill Dickey was inducted
into the navy last Wednesday, and
Second Baseman Joe Gordon passed
his army physical examination Fri
day. Uncle Sam now has taken
eight Yanks since the last World
series.
Meanwhile, Outfielder Johnny
Lindell has been notified to pre-
pare for pre-induction examina-
ton, probably at Camden, N. j.;
and Pitcher Marius Russo has de-
cided TO remain at work in Long
Island defense plant: and Catcher
Rollie Hemsley will remain on his
Missouri farm.
HAS MCCARTHY GROGGY
Manager Joe Mccarthy is groggy
from the four quick bloWS-Glenn,
Chandler, Gordon and Dickey-but
he is game. The Buffalo Irishman
said, This is sure tough, but
have no complaints. Our losses are
Uncle Sans gaiz;s. I don't know
how we're going to replace these
men, but well do the best we can"
Glenn was the No. l candidate
TO replace veteran Bill Dickey as
catcher. He recently moved up from
the Yankee farm club at Kansas
City, Mo. and reported here for
training. Mccarthy Was impressed
with his ability. Glenns departure

WILLAMETTE UNIV E R S1TY,
Salem, Ore, March %. (UP)-What
does a spring sports program looN
like at a university devoted to the
education Of navy trainees?
Well, it looks mostly like a lot of
exercise. Oh, there's little COM
petition thrown in, but the exercise
is the main thing.
Leslie j. Sparks, the athletic di-
rector, has got some nice things
worked out for the boys who'll
go Gown to the sea in ships.
All new navy men, he says, will
take the basic course. That means
they'll get themselves in shape by
running the obstacle course, climb
ing ropes, doing track work and
gymnasium calisthenics.
The final eight weeks of the basic
course are devoted to wrestling,
boxing and judo, built around the
art of self defense.
Two bright spots on the Sparks
program are the men he has IN
charge Of sports. One is Harry
Duke" Trotter, who formerly was
a four-sports star from the Univer-
sity of California at Los Angeles.
The other is Bob MCGUIRE, who
played ball at Santa Clara univer-
Sity.

ANAHEIM, Calf. March %. tUP)
With only seven veterans back II
the fold from last years pennaat
winning squa6. cagey Bill Sweeney
predicted today that the youngsters
on the club and the Chicago Cubs
will have to come through in a big
way if the Los Angeles Angels are
to be resting on top of the heap at
the end of the 1914 season.
Gone are such 1943 greats as
slugging Ando Pafko, who led the
league in hitting; Bill Schuster,
peppery short stop; and star pitch
ers Ken Raffensberger, Paul Gehr-
man and Red Lynn.
PITCHING STAFF WEAK
As is true with most Coast clubs
this year, the Angels most serious
weakness is the pitching Depart
ment. Only two hurlers from the
championship aggregation are back
in the Angel camp. They are gam
Cling Pete Mallory. IL game winner
last season. and relief hurler Don
Osborn. who piled up an enviable
record of II won and one lost his
last year out.
The smiling Irishman has a large
field Of eager newcomers from
which to build his 1914 mound
staff. Brightest prospects are Dick
Conger, a highlander from the
Philadelphia Phillies, and % year
old Charles Red" Adams, who
spent last season on an Angel farm.
ROOKIE POSSIBILITIES FAIR
Although the remainder of the
aspirants are on the green side,
Sweeney sees definite possibilities
in Boyd Pedler, at present the only
portsider on the squad; Gerald Gu
EEK, a Guadalcanal veteran with
a medical discharge; and Irving
Stein, up from Portsmouth of the
Piedmont league where he chalked
up "a wins last year.
Sweeney isn't doing much wor-
rying about the backstop position
with two veterans returning. Six
teen year old Billy Sarni, boy Won
der of the '43 Angels, and veteran
Eddie Fernandez, minus 80 pouncS
and with speed to burn, will handle
the catching chores along with a
semi-pro from San Jose, Don
Griggs.
Sweeney has half of his 1943 in
field with which to mould snap
py quartet this season. He's BEAM
ing over the return of steady third
baseman Charlie English, who hov-
cred around the 800 mark in bat
ting last year. Lumbering Wimpy
Quinn, a fence buster when he
connects. should solve Manager
/ Sweeney's first base worries.
GREEN KEYSTONE DUO
A couple of inexperienced kids
will form the keystone combina-
ton. Sweeney is gambling on y
year old Roy Smalley, a slim six
