For Baseball
Tilt With Trojans

Bob Hatton's sterling athletes of
by-gone years, all claiming to be
baseball players, Thursday after
noon at 4 o'clock will take on the
kustling young men of Coach John
Lewis's El Centro Union high school
in a game at the El Centro stad-
iUlm.
Hatton gave out the news that
Amos Chick will pitch and Tom
Finney will catch for his team
Jerry WomacK, star iH:urler of the
high school team, will not pitch
against the ancient ones. And in
this connection there are two schools
of thought.
Says Coach Lewis, of the Spart-
ans:
Il want to give the old boys a
break; some of them may be near
journeys end"
Says Bob Hatton:
With such sluggers as Mayor
Moore, George Shuck and Clyde Lee,
Womack does not dare oppose us"
Take your choice.
The old-timers are still chortling
over their recent victory over the
striplings of the Rev Hayden Sears,
a victory won by the pitching of
Chick and Hatton and the heavy
hitting of Moore, Shuck and Lee.

exciting tussle played at Calexico

the Spartans, was relieved in the
second by Don Womack, but again
took over the pitching labors in the

AFTER VIZ DAY: WAR ON OPTIMISM
'essosesssosOssssseossesoes

time measures TO control civilian
employment became legislative
leality instead of merely congress
sional conversation. Measures to
draft nurses were introduced.
In other words, our optimism
was knocked into a cooked hat.
What the government is aiming at
now is to keep that optimism
from getting out of bounds again.
From coast to coast, all We
Day celebrations will emphasize
the fact that World War II isn't
over; that relaxation on the home
front will mean only prolonga-
ton of the war against The Japan
csc, and consequently thousands
of lives lost needlessly.
Newsreels (some already pre-
pared), radio broadcasts (some all
ready planned or written) and
newspaper commentators will
hammer away on this point.
Some of it will be cIaptrap, but
there will be some agencies fol-
lowing the idea of OPA Director
Chester Bowles, which is: Give
the people the unvarnished facts
and quit worrying-they won't
let down the boys at the front.
