FULLERTON WINS CHAMPIONSHIP BALL GAME DEFEATS PACIFIC ELECTRICS OF LOS ANGELES SUNDAY BY SCORE OF 7 TO 1 KAHLER, THE ANAHEIM PITCHER HOLDS VISITORS DOWN TO FOUR SCATTERED HITS In the presence of a crowd that numbered over four thousand the Fullerton baseball team on Sunday afternoon defeated the Pacific Electrics of Los Angeles by a score of 7 to 1, and there by captured the semi-professional championship of California. At the close of the league season it was found that Fullerton and the P. E.'s each claimed first place, consequently it was arranged to play three games to decide the championship. All three of the games were to be played at Fullerton. The first one was pulled off several weeks ago, and resulted in a victory for the home team by the narrow margin of 6 to 5. The Pacifics had the game clinched up the last inning, but Fullerton rallied and succeeded in forging ahead one run. The second game, played two weeks ago last Sunday, was different. It was heart breaking to the Fullerton fans, who had pursuaded themselves that the home team was invincible. The Fullerton bunch was slaughtered, the P. E.'s winning by the unholy score of bank on Fullerton. Our neighbors have some little team.

ASSEMBLY IN SCIENCE AT SCRIPPS INSTITUTE Students Will Study Nature at La Jolla the Coming Summer The novel experiment of holding a summer assembly in science at the Scripps institution for Biological Research at La Jolla, on the sea coast near San Diego, will be tried next summer for the first time. The purpose is to disseminate among teachers of biology and physical geography and others interested in modern science. FLOOD'S DAY DISCUSSION EXPERT WATER ABSORBING SOIL TAXED TO ITS HEAVY VALUE OF COVER CAREMENT OF ORCHID ING WINTER MAIN The rains of the past have taxed the water level of many of our orchids; accumulation of drainage been limited to as small acre tracts, serious erosion has occurred. Such data evidenced in many humid groves, writes R. C. Vaillantor. The damage resulting has in some cases taken actual channels cut depths through the orchids actually washing the medium sized trees where drainage from their contract of higher land bogs, even larger ones washed. In other suites are not so apparent observation, for the soil been carried rather than the upper end of the giver end. In such cases still appears to be in condition but in severe The second game, played two weeks ago last Sunday, was different. It was heart breaking to the Fullerton fans, who had pursuaded themselves that the home team was invincible. The Fullerton bunch was slaughtered, the P. E.'s winning by the unholy score of 9 to 1. But the Los Angeles team had been strengthened by the addition of a number of professionals. They played Dad Meeks behind the bat, Fitchner on the mound, Walter Carlisle, who made an enviable home run record with Hap Hogan's team, and a number of others who play in fast company. In fact, it is said that seven of the nine were professionals. The Fullerton manager perceived that it was necessary to strengthen the vital points of his team before the next and deciding game was played, consequently he came to Anaheim for assistance. He signed up George Kahler, and put him in the box. Kahler lives in Anaheim, but he has never yet played ball here. He is one of a number of men who have played in fast company who are now resident here. Kahler pitched for the Cleveland Americans for years, but he has quit the big league and is making his home in Anaheim. Kahler played his first game with Fullerton a week ago Sunday, against the Ford Automobile company. He shut out the visitors entirely. In Sunday's game he made a remarkable record against the big stickers from Los Angeles, giving them only four hits and retiring five men on strikes. The one run the visitors made was the result in an error. Buster Callan carelessly allowing the ball to pass him while a man was on third. Fitchner, the P. E. pitcher, was not only easy but wild. He gave three bases on balls and was freely batted. He had perfect and errorless support, else the score against him would have been even greater. Fullerton would have made at least two home runs, but owing to the dense throng of people and automobiles that completely surrounded the grounds a ruling was made that a ball going over the heads of the fielders into the crowd should be good for only two bases. It was feared for a time that Kahler was out of the game Sunday. In Students Will Study Nature at La Jolla the Coming Summer The novel experiment of holding a summer assembly in science at the Scripps institution for Biological Research at La Jolla, on the sea coast near San Diego, will be tried next summer for the first time. The purpose is to disseminate among teachers of biology and physical geography and others interested in modern science the discoveries and new points of view which are resulting from the investigations of this great research department of the university, to acquaint the scientific pilgrims with the richly varied sea life of the California coast, and to teach them how to read for themselves the books of nature as inscribed in the picturesque sea coast of the San Diego region. There will be lectures, conferences and demonstrations every afternoon of the six weeks by members of the scientific staff of the Institution on the following subjects (each once weekly). The relation of biology to the science of man, Prof. William E. Ritter, Fridays; Heredity, environment and adaptation, Dr. F. V. Sumner, Thursdays; Some of the messages of marine biology to student and teacher, E. L. Michael, Wednesdays; Physical Oceanography, including some of its relations to meterology, G. F. McEwen, Tuesdays. Local costal physical geography will be a course to be conducted Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, at 10 o'clock by W. C. Crandall, who is matser of the Alexander Agassiz, the institutions sea going scientific collecting vessel, has wide familiarity with the California sea coast. The rest of the mornings of every day except Saturday will be devoted to lectures, laboratory, museum and field work for small groups of students on the characteristic animal and plant life of the ocean waters along the shore of Southern California., this work being conducted by W. C. Crandall and P. S. Barnhart. The university has been encouraged in this undertaking by the great success of the annual summer session at Berkeley from June 26 to August 5, which last year enrolled 5364 students. Half a mile of ocean front, with cliffs, sand beaches, and tide pools inhabited by a wide variety of sea life is the ideal location which the institutions will study Nature at La Jolla the Coming Summer.

It was feared for a time that Kahler was out of the game Sunday. In the second inning while at bat a pitched ball struck him on the hand, crushing a finger against the bat. He was game, however, and went into the box again, but was a little cautious for a time. Goyhenix and Ellis umpired the game, Jack giving decisions on balls and strikes and Ed on bases. In the eighth inning Fitchner was yanked out of the box by Toby and Evers substituted; but he was easier than Fitchner, allowing the locals to make three runs. Anaheim sent a big delegation to the game, at least a couple of hundred fans being present to root for our northern suburb. There is a movement on foot to reorganize the Anaheim ball team. There is plenty of talent here for the construction of one of the best amateur teams in Southern California, and it will be organized and maintained if the lovers of the game will give it sufficient support to pay the expenses. Following this victory a number of semi-professional teams, some in Los Angeles and one at San Pedro, are claiming the championship. This claim is ridiculed by Fullerton baseball enthusiasts, and Gus Stern announces that the question can be easily settled if the claimants will agree to play one or a series of games on the Fullerton grounds. In the event of such a game or games, Anaheim fans will The university has been encouraged in this undertaking by the great success of the annual summer session at Berkeley from June 26 to August 5, which last year enrolled 5364 students. Half a mile of ocean front, with cliffs, sand beaches, and tide pools inhabited by a wide variety of sea life is the ideal location which the institution occupies, two miles north of La Jolla and 15 miles north of the center of San Diego but within the corporate limits of the city. The investors, as Miss Ellen B. Scripps and E. W. Scripps prefer to be known, have generously provided the Scripps institution with maintenance funds and with a commodious laboratory building containing 12 private laboratories for investigators, a large aquarium room, two story concrete museum and library building, now in course of construction; and a concrete pier a thousand feet in length, at which the 85-foot collecting vessel, dock, and from the end of which, far out beyond the surf zone, pure sea water is pumped in to supply the 19 tanks in the public aquarium and also the scientific laboratories. The institution possesses an excellent biological library of over 5000 bound volumes and 8000 pamphlets, and a museum is being assembled rich in its representation of the marine fauna of the California coast. Any persons interested in science who wish to attend the assembly at the institution are requested to write as soon as possible to Prof. William E. Ritter, Scientific director of the Institution, at La Jolla, so that proper provision may be made. A safe place for your valuable papers is in a saef deposit box in the Anaheim National Bank. The activated grove had been formally from the upper end, leaving a deposit at the lower two rows of at a depth of from one inch and comprising probably than 500 cubic feet of joining grove in cover practically none of that soil from the upper end. A second case in served in Redlands we cultivated and covered were side by side. That during one of the amounting to about one inches, fully 40 per cent falling ran through the lower end and collected storm drain. This was fully estimated at its end and we feel that this was at all too high. We also is more or less typical of this in itself shows so large loss of moisture well be stored in the seas. In taking actual nations on certain ground vina section before any our rains this winter, we a cover cropped growing in the surface found proximately 1.1 acre while a non-cover crop very similar soil showed only about .7 acre inch fall between our two averaged but 1.23 acres shows a relatively high case of the cover cropping. This same point of moisture to the grove is the experiment station Riverside in that the cows of rainfall are traceable cropped sections to polls of over five feet, while FLOOD'S DAMAGE DISCUSSED BY EXPERT WATER ABSORBING POWER OF SOIL TAXED TO ITS LIMIT BY THE HEAVY RAINS VALUE OF COVER CROPS IN MANAGEMENT OF ORCHARDS DURING WINTER MONTHS The rains of the past several weeks have taxed the water absorbing power of many of our orchard soils beyond the limit of possibility. Even when accumulation of drainage water has been limited to as small units as ten acre tracts, serious erosion and filling has occurred. Such damage has been evidenced in many hundred acres of groves, writes R. C. Valle, in the Cultivator. The damage resulting in this way has in some cases taken the form of actual channels cut to considerable depths through the orchard, in some cases actually washing out some of the medium sized trees. Of course, where drainage from a considerable tract of higher land has broken over gutters, even larger channels have been washed. In other cases the results are not so apparent to casual observation, for the surface soil has been carried rather uniformly from the upper end of the grove to the lower end. In such cases the ground still appears to be in a rather level condition but in several instances obcultivated section directly adjoining this, effects are traceable only about three and a half feet. This would indicate at least a 50 per cent greater efficiency in the moisture absorbing power in the cover cropped area. All of these points would indicate to us quite strongly the value of using winter crops for the conservation of soil and moisture in this connection. These columns have already contained many arguments in favor of leguminous cover crops, and this discussion is merely a re-emphasis of one phase of their value. We would also call your attention to the fact that this is the time of year in which to prove to yourself without much trouble or expense that it is possible to raise successfully leguminous cover crops in every district and under practically all conditions. If you yourself have not been successful in attempts along this line, you doubtless will not have to go very far to find a neighbor who has been successful and whose Melilotus or vetch crop at the present time shows very favorable promise. We have seen groves with Melilotus standing from ten inches to one foot high on all types of soil, varying from the sandiest soil in the North Redlands section to the heaviest soil around Whittier. These crops have been seen growing with marked success in orchards where the trees are so large that a team of horses will be brushed on either side when passing through the rows. We would urge citrus growers at this time to acquaint themselves with orchards in their vicinity where success in the growing of legumes has been met with, so that they may find out in a personal way the methods of cultivation underlying this success. The above discussion has to do with the problem of handling orchard erosion. BOULEVAR DIERS STILL APPEAR ACTIVE REPORTED THEY WILL ASK SUPERVISORS TO INCLUDE THEIR ROAD IN CALL FOR BRIDGE BOND ELECTION MATTER MAY BE SPRUNG IN MEETING OF ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS TOMORROW NIGHT When the associated chambers of commerce meets tomorrow evening at Yorba Linda it is more than likely that a proposal will be made asking the associated chambers to urge the board of supervisors to call for bonds for a number of new paved roads, including the expenditure of $150,000 or $175,000 on the coast boulevard. In fact, the proposal has already been made in a quiet way as a feeler of the situation. Since the coast boulevard proposition was first advanced some three years ago it has had the backing of as enthusiastic a bunch of boosters as there are in the county. They have never overlooked an opportunity to put forward the claims of the coast for a boulevard that will reach from the county line at Bay city to the county line at San Diego. The state highway runs from Serra to the San Diego line, and the county has a road from Serra to Laguna Beach. The gap to be filled is from Sunset Beach. cases actually washing out some of the medium sized trees. Of course, where drainage from a considerable tract of higher land has broken over gutters, even larger channels have been washed. In other cases the results are not so apparent to casual observation, for the surface soil has been carried rather uniformly from the upper end of the grove to the lower end. In such cases the ground still appears to be in a rather level condition but in several instances observed from several inches to as much as two feet of soil has been distributed around the trees in the lower row. The conditions this year are by no means exceptional, in fact, in almost the majority of seasons damage of this nature is done which affects a great many groves, even though the highway and bridges are not so badly injured as is the case this year. Most readers will recall that two years ago the storms of January and February were equally severe in many ways as these of this past season. It is interesting to note in comparison between this year and the season 1913-14, that in many districts such as Uplands where the rainfall has been tremendous, the injury has apparently been less in orchards this year than it was in the former season. This decrease of injury seems to have gone hand in hand with an increase of the area planted to cover crops. Our figures show that sufficient seed has been distributed this year to plant just about twice the cover crop acreage that was planted a year ago, and that season even more was planted than in 1913-14. In this conection I would mention one or two specific instances of severe injury which are not exceptions but are typical of conditions over a large area. These instances are so chosen as to illustrate the different points in which cover crops have proven of benefit. Two groves, side by side, observed in the Alta Loma section on which no outside storm water has been turned showed the following comparisons. The clean cultivated grove had been washed uniformly from the upper to the lower end, leaving a deposit of soil around the lower two rows of trees, varying at a depth of from one to eight inches and comprising probably not less than 500 cubic feet of soil. The adjoining grove in cover crop showed practically none of these movements of soil from the upper to lower end. CASSITERITE IN CALIFORNIA A description of an occurrence of cassiterite (tinstone) in San Diego county, has recently been published by the geologic survey. Mr. Waldemar T. Schaller, the author, has recently visited the locality, but does not consider the deposit of industrial importance. A small quantity of crystals found near Oak Grove, San Diego county, in the spring of 1915 is all the cassiterite so far obtained. The region, however, offers possibilities to the gem miner. The same pegmatite dike in chains where the trees are so large that a team of horses will be brushed on either side when passing through the rows. We would urge citrus growers at this time to acquaint themselves with orchards in their vicinity where success in the growing of legumes has been met with, so that they may find out in a personal way the methods of cultivation underlying this success. The above discussion has to do with the problem of handling orchard erosion question in future years. In quiries are already coming in to us as to what to do in case of groves which have been seriously eroded at the present time. So many observations have been made on the damage resulting to the trees by the filling in of soil around the trunks that we feel perfectly justified in urging growers where erosion has taken place with considerable deposit of silt around the lower rows of trees, to spend time and labor in moving this soil back to its original place in the upper end of the property. In many cases of young trees not over four years of age if the filling has been one foot or more, as it has in numerous instances, we would strongly urge the raising of such trees. This can be done with comparatively little loss of growth, if a steel drum 18 inches in diameter is used to assist in the balling of the trees. Wherever channels have been washed out we suggest throwing in prunings, manure, straw or other chaff and covering same as deeply as possible with soil from the lower end of the grove. Such erosion continuing from year to year cannot but result in very serious injury both to the upper and lower end of the grove, and only by correcting the trouble from time to time and by as far as possible guarding against the cause in the future, can we expect our soil to maintain its maximum capacity for production. The recent storms have brought to mind the advisability of soon replacing the West Chapman street bridge with a concrete bridge. The Yorba bridge was washed away, and approaches to the Olive bridge and the Talbert bridge will call for expenditures. The Santa Ana canyon and other roads were damaged. It has been estimated that from $160,000 to $200,000 will be needed to repair the roads damaged by the storms and to put in what concrete bridges are necessary. It has been authoritatively reported that it was the intention of the Board of supervisors to call for a bond election for the purpose of raising the money for the bridges and repair work. Now comes the talk from outside the board that at the same time that the bridge bonds are voted a goodly sum should also be voted for the construction of new pavement. Suggestions have come from the coast boulevard people as to what they would like to have. For instance, it has been proposed that a sum be expended in work on the gap between Newport Beach and Sunset Beach, and that a similar amount be spent between Laguna Beach and Newport Bay. In order to make the entire plan stronger throughout the county it is further proposed that some roads be built in the northern end of the county and that some roads be built in the Orange section. It is frankly admitted by those seeking to include bonds for the coast boulevard proposition that a goodly sum must also be allowed for more roads in the interior. This is intended to add strength to the proposition. $400,000 is the probable amount which the supervisors will be asked to fix upon in their call for a bond issue. This will repair all the flood damage and leave $225,000 for new road work. After completing the coast boulevard a considerable sum will be left for road maintenance.

The clean cultivated grove had been washed uniformly from the upper to the lower end, leaving a deposit of soil around the lower two rows of trees, varying at a depth of from one to eight inches and comprising probably not less than 500 cubic feet of soil. The adjoining grove in cover crop showed practically none of these movements of soil from the upper to lower end. A second case in point was observed in Redlands where a clean cultivated and cover cropped grove were side by side. It is estimated that during one of the trees rainfalls amounting to about one and a half inches, fully 40 per cent of the water falling ran through the grove to the lower end and collected in a single storm drain. This water was carefully estimated at its total run-off, and we feel that this estimate is not at all too high. We also feel that this is more or less typical of many groves. This in itself shows somewhat of the large loss of moisture which might well be stored in the soil. In taking actual moisture determinations on certain groves in the Covina section before and after one of our rains this winter, we figured that a cover cropped grove showed a storing in the surface four feet of approximately 1.1 acre inches of rain, while a non-cover cropped grove on very similar soil showed a storing of only about .7 acre inches. The rainfall between our two determination averaged but 1.23 acre inches, which shows a relatively high recovery in case of the cover cropped orchard. This same point of the saving of moisture to the grove is illustrated on the experiment station property at Riverside in that the definite effects of rainfall are traceable in our cover cropped sections to points at a depth of over five feet, while in the clean A description of an occurrence of cassiterite (tinstone) in San Diego county, has recently been published by the geologic survey.

The same pegmatite dike in which the cassiterite crystals were found has yielded blue tourmaline and columbite. NOTHING IN FREE TRADE President Wilson says there is nothing in either the doctrine of free trade or that of protection. We are willing he should speak for the doctrine of free trade but there are others vastly more competent to speak for the doctrine of protection. We shall entirely agree that there is nothing in free trade. We have proven it by sad experience. But as for protection—there is much in it. There is in it, for instance, a full dinner pail for the laborer, busy factories for industrial investors, plenty of business for retail merchants, wide-spread prosperity in the United States, a full Federal Treasury and no need for stamp taxes. Nothing it it? We should worry. Your ship may never come in, but if you save the pennies and place them in a term account with the Anaheim National bank, it may become a ferry boat to take you across some dangerous stream when you need to get across.

BETTER TO STORE IT Government records taken at Ocean-side show that during the recent storm the San Luis Rey river at that point was delivering 2,600,000 inches of water into the sea. No records were taken on the Santa Ana, but it is likely the flow was fully as great. The sad feature is that this water—millions of inches—was wasted and worse than wasted, for it did great damage. If it could only have been saved until summer, it would have been worth millions of dollars to the ranchers. And by proper reservoirs and check dams most of these winter floods could be saved for summer use, says the Riverside Press. In his recent annual report, Secretary Lane, urged the importance of catching the water when it is young. He makes the following interesting and effective presentation of the case: There are two distinct and aggressive schools of thought on this matter of keeping the Colorado in its place. One is for sending the river willy-nilly down the old channel; the other for letting the river live its own life, but keeping it off our preserves. One may be termed the absolutist theory and the other the democratic theory. Congress has thus far committed itself to the latter. And this year, when danger threatened, Congress jointed in raising a fund to keep the river from forcing its way into the Imperial Valley, and this work was successfully executed under this department by the former chief of engineers of the United States army, General W. L. Marshall. No one, however, believes that the work is at an end or that we have done more than put a good patch upon it. Now, far above this point of danger there are thousands of square miles of land that need but the water of the Colorado river to make them as fruitful as the lands of the San Joaquin or the Salt River valley. We need to his life in India, Mestopotamia, and Egypt, as a river tamer. And after he had seen our problem he sighed with regret that it might not be his fortune to see the day, that he said would surely come, when the valley of the Mississippi would be another valley of the Nile, only greater in area and more perfectly adapted to the white man's life. How these great works can be carried on calls for constructive thought, but more immediately upon the financier not merely on the engineering side,cial side as to those ways and means by which the lands reclaimed shall be made to bear in some degree the burden of the expense. As to the funds which will be needed, they mount into such figures as to be staggering. And I can see no hope that this work will be adequately undertaken without the government advancing its credit and investing directly some of its own funds. We are conducting this government from day to day out of current revenues. Only the richest of people could pursue such a policy. No private enterprise attempts it. No railroad system has been built that way. But few of the states now construct their highway systems out of the year's revenues. The permanent improvements which the whole people undertake are a legitimate charge against capital account, not against maintenance. A commission to devise the ways and means by which the states and private land owners and the national government can cooperate in paying for the work done seems to me a more needed body than one which will report upon engineering methods.
