SANTA ANA LOSES AN EXCITING CONTEST ANAHEIM HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM DEFEATS COUNTY SEATERS IN HOT GAME LOCALS HAVE BATTING STREAK IN TENTH AND ANNEX THREE MUCH-NEEDED RUNS The people who went down to the high school grounds Saturday afternoon to see how the Australians performed on the diamond were treated to a different proposition when the game between the Anaheim and Santa Ana high school league teams was called at 3 o'clock. Some classy ball was played and it required ten innings to decide the game, the score at the close of the ninth chapter being two to two. It looked like an easy victory for the locals after the first inning as they annexed two good runs while the visitors scored a goose egg, but in the next eight innings Santa Ana got a couple of men across the plate and held the home boys down to a row of cyphers. It was in the tenth that things began to get exciting. By reason of good playing and a series of mishaps the visitors got two runs across the plate, and it looked like victory was theirs. It would have been, no doubt, if Carver had tightened up instead of blowing up. Everybody began to hit the ball. An opportunity swat by Quarton landed him on ways, and the nine in consequence was handicapped. The local team is to be thoroughly overhauled and a strong lineup will be gotten together. Mott has been appointed manager and he will strengthen the weak places and add new material. The Anaheim team has hard sledding since its start, but now it is given out by the ball magnates that all the minor differences have been overcome and the nine will be put on its feet right. Catcher Leake was put temporarily out of commission by being hit in the groin by a foul tip. He was given first aid and after several minutes resumed his position and continued the game. Umpire Stevens gave good decisions and is looked upon by fans as one of the best umps in these parts.

The funeral of Fred Yoern was held Friday afternoon at the Backs & Terry undertaking parlors, Rev. F. W. Mitchell officiating. Mr. Yoern died at his home on Broadway Wednesday morning after a short illness. For the past few years he has conducted a blacksmith shop in Los Angeles, but made this city his home. Mr. Yoern leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters. The children are Richard who is in the navy, Fred and Alma of this city and Mrs. George Bell of Fullerton. A team of horses belonging to Geo.

There is something of a contrast between this bunch and the locals. A mutual agreement exists between the Anaheim boys and the faculty that there shall be no crabbing or unseemly rooting in their contests.

UNIVERSAL CITY NINE WIN TOP-HEAVY GAME Local Team in a Weakened Condition Fall Easy Prey and are Goose-Egged Hopelessly outclassed was the verdict given in the session held at the ball park on Sunday between the local team and the aggregation of stars composing the Universal City nine. The top-heavy score was 12 to 0 with the home team on the short end. The Anaheim boys didn't have a look in. Mott managed to get as far as the keystone sack, and that occurred through a wild throw to first. Rainey, the mound-man for the visitors, who comes from fast ball company from up-state, was an enigma for the locals and fanned out so many batters that at times he merely tossed the ball so a batter could have the fun of landing upon it. According to the official dope sheet the Universal team is the fastest and best in Southern California. Several of its members were big leaguers of former years and showed splendid form. The Anaheim team was all upset, being short some of its best men and the lineup had to be changed in many few years he has conducted a blacksmith shop in Los Angeles, but made this city his home. Mr. Yoeran leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters. The children are Richard who is in the navy, Fred and Alma of this city and Mrs. George Bell of Fullerton. A team of horses belonging to Geo. Flesner, who lives on the east side, ran away Thursday, and for a time the life of his young son was in jeopardy. The wagon to which the horses were hitched was loaded with fruit boxes. Two men and the boy were on the wagon and all jumped, but the boy became entangled in a rope and was dragged some distance before being released. The runaways circled into an orange grove belonging to Robert McKee, snapped one four-year-old tree off at the ground but halted at the next one. Mr. Volze who contracted a bad case of blood poisoning three months ago is gradually recovering. The point of a small rusty tack stuck into one of his fingers but no particular attention was paid to it at the time. In a few days his hand and forearm became greatly swollen and medical aid was hastily summoned. Heroic measures had to be resorted to prevent a fatal termination of the malady. Deep incisions were made into the hand and forearm to permit a free flow of blood and to emit pus. The hand had to be immersed continually in a bucket of hot water for five weeks to alleviate pain. At times the patient's pulse was more than 100 and at one time it reached 104. Grave fears were entertained for his recovery, but a change for the better occurred at this crucial period and gradually an improvement has been noted. Mr. Volze is now being nursed back to his aforetime good health and his many friends hope to soon see him fully recovered.

THE BIGGEST CHECK The largest check ever given in the United States was one given last week by Kuhn, Loeb & Company, of New York for $49,000,00 to the Pennsylvania railroad for bonds purchased from the railway company. It was larger by $9,000,000 than any check ever given in the United States. The next largest check was for $40,-000,000. This was drawn by Secretary Shaw May 7, 1904, and payable resting on a rock or a log in the pond; to toss a stone at the frog or turtle to kill every snake they see. "What a fine morning this is. Let's go out and kill something." That spirit is all too prevalent, writes Barton Warren Evermann.

It was larger by $9,000,000 than any check ever given in the United States. The next largest check was for $40,000,000. This was drawn by Secretary Shaw May 7, 1904, and payable to J. P. Morgan & Co., who represented the French syndicate in the Panama canal deal. The largest check ever given in Los Angeles, if not perhaps the largest check ever given on the Pacific slope was one given in 1912 when the Los Angeles Investment company gave one for $1,250,000 as part payment for the Baldwin ranch. On February 5, 1913, there passed through the clearing house of Los Angeles a check from the late C. A. Canfield for $1,100,000, the second payment for ships purchased by the Petroleum Transport company of Mexico. This check was redeposited in another bank on that date which swelled the clearings for that date $220,000 which made a record day for the clearing house of Los Angeles of $8,234,234.90. In contrast with these large checks it might be mentioned that Walter E. Hettmann, assistant United States District Attorney, of San Francisco, received this week a check for 5 cents, "the first, last and only dividend" from the estate of F. S. Mayhew of Palo Alto, Cal., for which Hettmann was appointed assignee three years ago. The check was sent by officers of the bankruptcy division of the Federal court. TEST FOR JELLING FRUIT JUICE Chemists of the U.S. department of agriculture recommend the following test as a simple one to determine when fruit sirup has reached the Jell point: Make a thin, flat stick or a small paddle, about an inch broad, and whittle this down to a straight edge. Dip the paddle or stick into the jelly mixture and remove it. Hold the end down, and if the mixture has reached the jell point, it will be noticed that the liquid will not drip off in drops, but will flake off—that is, a strip of jelly will fall off from the paddle in one mass. TWO MEN CAUGHT, THOUGHT TO HIGH CLASS MUSIC AT H.S. AUDITORIUM Sig. Creatore and His Famous Band Coming on Saturday, May 8 The concert to be given here Saturday, May 8, at the high school auditorium by Sig. Creatore and his band is anticipated with much pleasure by the music lovers and a large and fashionable audience is assured by the interest already manifested in the advance sale. Sig. Creatore and his band have done the most remarkable things in the history of bands. The following notice from the Louisville Courier Journal is only one of thousands received by this nested organization showing a large increase in attendance at every concert: "Gluseppe Creatore may well be proud of the record he has made in Louisville. This, too, in the face of the fact that the best he has is yet to come Wednesday night at the Jockey Club; he broke all records from a standpoint of attendance on a summer evening and many thought the limit had been reached. The Wednesday night crowd was the largest and handsomest ever seen up to that time at the Jockey club park at night. Last night's crowd topped it by over 1100. Creatore fairly outdid himself in the arrangement of his program for the night, and in its rendition the members of his splendid band entered fully into the spirit of the occasion. One of the most delightful things was the Stabat Mater, which is ever glorious. His Parsifal was a rev- to toss a stone at the frog or turtle to kill every snake they see. "What a fine morning this is. Let's go out and kill something." That spirit is all too prevalent, writes Barton Warren Evermann. Among the important species of California animals now threatened with extinction is the California valley elk. This elk originally roamed in great numbers over the great interior valley of California. It was doubtless most abundant in the San Joaquin portion of the Sacramento-San Joaquila valley, but its range probably included the entire valley and the adjacent foothills. It was certainly abundant as late as 1854. The early records contain many references to its abundance. One of the earliest records to be found in the manuscript report of the Viscino explorations made in 1602. Speaking of the animals in the vicinity of Monterey the statement is made: Among the animals there are large, fierce bears, and other animals called elks, from which they make leather jackets. Among the most interesting later accounts is that by Mr. Edward Bosquil, the only living charter member of the California Academy of Sciences. In his Memoirs, to which my attention was called by Mr. M. Hall McAllister, Mr. Bosquil states that, in December, 1850, while walking from Stockton to Mariposa, he saw, as he approached the foot hills, bands of elk, deer, and antelope in such numbers that they actually darkened the plains for miles, and looked in the distance like great herds of cattle. On his return from Mariposa to San Francisco in June, 1851, when on Dry Creek some seventy miles from Mariposa, east of the present town of Turlock, Mr. Bosquil states he was one morning, suddenly awakened by the heavy tramp and noise of large animate, and on looking through the fog which prevailed I could see indistinctly, not thirty rods away, giant-like figures of elk passing, so to speak in procession before me. They were tossing their great antlers about and snuffing excitedly. Suddenly, with one accord and with an impulse that shook the ground like an earthquake, they swept out of sight. It was a procession of phantoms such as one might conceive in a nightmare, and left an impression on my youthful mind never to be forgotten. TWO MEN CAUGHT, THOUGHT TO BE ROBBERS Sheriff Jackson Monday in Los Alamitos, captured Enrique Perez and Rufino Jiminez, two men whom the sheriff thinks were implicated in the robbery of Romer's store, Tustin. Two pairs of the stolen shoes were found, one of them on Jiminez's feet; the other pair were found where they had been thrown in a vault. The latter pair were identified as a pair lost by Romer at the time of the burglary. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Juan J. de la Guerra to Mrs. Rosa Yorba Locke—19 acres near Yorba in M.

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION Articles of incorporation of the Gardner Fruit Co. have been filed with the County Clerk. This is an Anaheim concern, all the parties having to do with the formation of the company being residents of the Mother Colony. They are H. E. Gardner, E. M. Gardner and J. H. Whitaker. The capital is $25,000, and of this more than one-half is in the hands of the first board of directors, the three above mentioned.

FULL ACCOUNT IN SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE Pierrie Nicolas, Marla Nicolas Stern, and Agnes Nicolas Fuller, who were appointed guardians of the person and estate of their brother Paul Nicolas, have filed the final report of their trust, and have asked to be relieved from further responsibility in the matter, as Paul is now in his 22d year, having reached his majority in February. The total value of the estate was $42,950, and this has been accounted for by the guardians. E. K. Collins was in town this week from San Jose preparing for the shipment of a carload of oranges from this city and one from Fullerton.

SUITS IN SUPREME COURT Suits for amounts ranging from $30,000 to $465,000 and aggregating more than $1,000,000, based on allegations of fraud and deception on the part of A. Otis Birch, millionaire oil man, and M. M. Good, his superintendent, were taken into the Supreme Court Friday from the Superior Court of Orange county. Eight suits were filed altogether, and it was announced that four more similar actions would be brought up on appeal. It is charged in these complaints, which involve the defunct Menges Oil company, that the defendants levied false assessments against the stockholders, misrepresented to them the value of the stock and otherwise committed acts of fraud in the operation of the company's affairs. The complainants state that Birch made the stockholders believe that the stock was worth but $2 a share, whereas the true value was approximately $50 a share. The corporation was dissolved August 19, 1911. The plaintiffs and the respective amounts sued for are as follows: W. B. Tedford, $72,000; F. A. Alnsworth, $84,000; J. D. Thomas, $31,200; W. T. Edwards, $60,000; J. R. Porter, $465,562; H. C. Dawes, $68,400; F. A. RECLAMATION WORK The federal reclamation service points with pride to the development of the Orland project in California. It preaches the success of co-operation in irrigation. Preceding the opening of the project, the region was one vast wheat field, with ranches far apart market by ramshackle dwellings. The community was described as dead. Today it is called one of the inspiring young districts of the Pacific coast. Small farms of 40 acres or so have taken the place of the big wheat ranches, and the farms are adorned by attractive homes. Fine dairy hards graze and the roadways are lined with shade and fruit trees. The community spirit provides enjoyable social life. Orland's dairy industry took $90,000 from the creamery in the past year, and the creamery declared a 10 per cent dividend for the benefit of the 34 dairymen composing it. Albert H. Sitton has been appointed guardian of the person and estate of Albert G. Cassidy Sitton. A bond has been given by the newly appointed guardian for the faithful performance of his duties.
