Oranges Bringing Increased Prices Florida Shipping Embargo is Reflected Already in Eastern Markets "The Florida freeze and shipping embargo is already being reflected in higher prices for California navels," declared Sales Manager T. H. Powell at the weekly California Fruit Growers Exchange directors meeting yesterday. Exchange orange sales increased 208 cars, and the price average jumped 23 cents in the past week. Oranges showed a substantial rise in prices, mainly due to speculative buying, but the Exchange navels maintained a price margin of 79 cents above Florida offerings in the auction markets, according to Powell. "With 6283 carloads of oranges and grapefruit, last week's shipments broke all records for this time of year." The seven-day embargo which went into effect last Thursday evening will practically eliminate Florida shipments for a few days. The only Florida citrus shipped since the first of February consists of lots inspected and certified prior to the embargo. "Florida rail shipments last Sunday and Monday totaled only 51 cars of oranges and 16 cars of grapefruit, as compared with 599 cars of oranges and 147 cars of grapefruit on the same days a week earlier," reported Powell. Beginning on February 5 and continuing to February 18 the statewide grade and size prorate The only Florida citrus shipped since the first of February consists of lots inspected and certified prior to the embargo. "Florida rail shipments last Sunday and Monday totaled only 51 cars of oranges and 16 cars of grapefruit, as compared with 599 cars of oranges and 147 cars of grapefruit on the same days a week earlier," reported Powell. Beginning on February 5 and continuing to February 18 the statewide grade and size prorate administrated by the Florida Citrus commission was extended to prohibit shipment of oranges that would grade lower than U.S. No. 2. Lemon demand is also improving, the Exchange f. o. b. average last week showing a 16 cent advance. Powell attributed the rise to a lessening of the extremely cold weather that "froze" distribution in many of the markets and to colds prevalent at hts season. Filipino Champion On Arena’s Show Mat Royalty representing the four corners of the globe will meet on the common ground of a wrestling mat next Monday night at the Orange County Athletic club in a double main event. Pantaleon Manlapig, idol of thousands in his native Philippine Islands, will appear in the first event against a worthy adversary, Chief Little Wolf, huge Seminole Indian. The Filipino is no baby in size and exerts herculean strength against his opponents with his body press hold which won for him the undisputed title of champion of the South Seas. The Indian grappler uses a sly, treacherous leg hold which, when exercised properly, becomes a vertiable "death grip"—and he expects to impress its virtues upon the Filipino army officer with due effects. Vincent Lopez, Mexican favorite whose victories have been as easy as they have been often in past performances at the highway arena, will meet a contender for the spotlight he enjoys when he meets Hans Steinke, the "German Oak" in the second main event. Steinke swears that the decision will rest on his will to win, and declares that the Mexican's fatal elbow smash will fall on a body of iron muscles if it is turned on. The second revival of the annual Orange County Fair and Horse Show was announced yesterday for June 15 and 16, after contract was signed with the Santa Ana Assistance League by the board of supervisors, who thus delegate management and sponsorship of the enterprise. At the same time, the board authorized application to the state for $6600 for premium money. This represents a 10 per cent increase from the $6000 posted last year by the state from its take of parimutuel machines at horseracing tracks, which finance the various county fairs. Under the contract approved by the supervisors, the Assistance League will stand all expenses incident to the organization and staging of the fair, to be reimbursed later by the county when is realized will go to the Assistance League to further its charity enterprises, principally the maintaining of a hospital bed and children's ward. Supervisors also renewed their application to the state for grant of $35,000 in state fair funds for construction of a horticultural building, as first unit for a permanent group of structures, by revising their application of last December 26. The board lifted that part relating to future location of the fair; it had decided, in arranging a lease on Santa Ana Municipal bowl property, that the fair might be moved to another location later, but the state declined to consider the application with this proviso. The name of the proposed horticultural building was formally changed to "Exhibit Hall and National Guard Armory." Vincent Lopez, Mexican favorite whose victories have been as easy as they have been often in past performances at the highway arena, will meet a contender for the spotlight he enjoys when he meets Hans Steinke, the "German Oak" in the second main event. Steinke swears that the decision will rest on his will to win, and declares that the Mexican's fatal elbow smash will fall on a body of iron muscles if it is turned on him. Both main events will go two out of three falls—one hour time limit. In a one fall, 30-minute bout, Lee Wykoff, the Iron Man from Missouri, will meet Ed Payson, blond glamour boy from Hollywood who is famous also in a wrestling ring for the speed with which he tosses his "frame" through the air to down an opponent with a flying dropkick. Ramon Sevilla, Mexican athlete from Claremont, meets Boxcar Jacobs, 300-lb. runner-up for the title of Atlas the Second. This match will go one fall, 30 minutes. Stanton Boosters Select Delegates At a recent meeting of the Stanton Chamber of Commerce directors Irving T. Hagen and G. W. Irwin were elected delegates to the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. Those reelected were W. C. Hosking and F. B. Bushnell. Hagen is the new president of the Stanton chamber. GRANTED LENIENCY William Cochran of Buena Park, pleaded guilty Tuesday before Justice of the Peace Charles Kuchel to a charge of simple assault and was given a 10-day suspended jail sentence.

Greenleaf, for 25 years president of the Olive Hillside Groves, resigned from that position late last week during the annual meeting of the association. He plans to devote his entire attention to his own grove. He now holds title of "honorary director." J. A. Potter was named to succeed Greenleaf as president. Other officers chosen were C. O. Heim, vice president; F. B. Maxwell, secretary-manager, and Directors J. G. Timlin, H. J. Snow and R. H. Paulus. The house is a member of the Mutual Orange Distributors. Potter has been board member about 10 years. He is also a director of the M. O.. D. central board at Redlands and of Cal-juices, Inc., of Anaheim. After demanding one for more than 70 years, inhabitants of chorley, Lancashire, England, have succeeded in securing a town swimming pool. Stealer of Auto is Granted Probation Five years' probation was granted to Mario Yorba, 19, of Anaheim last Friday by Superior Judge Harry C. Westover, but Yorba must serve a year in the county jail as a provision of his probation. The Anaheim youth pleaded guilty of stealing an automobile owned by Porfirio Macaray of Anaheim. Probation hearings for two others sent to superior court from Anaheim are scheduled for tomorrow, Roy Hazelwood, who pleaded guilty to a charge of issuing a bogus check, and John Alden, who admitted his guilt in a burglary are those who have asked mercy of the court. FAIR AND FIESTA Riverside County Fair and Coachella Valley Date Fiesta will be held in Indio February 15-17 the Automobile Club of Southern California is advised. The trucking industry paid approximately $417,500,000 in special taxes alone in 1937. Girl is Selected As Sports Editor Miss Margaret Schmitz Will Handle Athletic News For College Paper Veteran Santa Ana junior college athletes were caught "off guard" today with the announcement by Journalism Director John M. McCoy that Miss Margaret Schmitz has been appointed sports editor of El Don, campus weekly. Simultaneously masculine sportsmen decided that relations with the paper's athletic department are destined to become immeasurably more friendly this semester. Miss Schmitz, a graduate of Santa Ana high school will be the first woman ever to achieve the sports position on the jaysee staff. She holds membership in Phi Theta Kappa and Alpha Gamma Sigma honor societies, Las Gitanas women's organization, is president of Tavern Tattlers literary group, and is prominent in varied campus social functions. Hastening to reassure Coach Bill Cook and his college sportsmen that men's athletics will still receive their customary space in the jaysee weekly, the new editor issued the following statement of policy: "Powderpuffs for football players and ballerina suits for basketball stars are probably among the reforms I am expected to inaugurate as sports editor. But I hope to at least fool a few readers and turn out a real sports page—after a few sessions with rule books and files of sports events." In announcing the appointment, Tomorrow night at Riverside, Coach Art Nunn's Fullerton Jaysee Hornets meet the Riverside Tigers in one of the most important basketball games of the current campaign. The winner is virtually certain to assure itself a spot in the play-off series at the close of the regular campaign. Riverside can even lose tomorrow and not be eliminated from the playoff, but not so with Fullerton. A loss for the Hornets would give them two defeats, and that might prove too many. This was written before last night's Fullerton-San Bernardino clash, but the writer is assuming that the Hornets were able to get over the hapless Indians. Riverside went into undisputed first place last Friday night by trouncing Pomona, 49 to 37, thereby handing the Cossasks their first loss in three starts. In the other conference game last Friday Chaffey walloped Citrus, 57 to 25. Santa Ana, drawing the bye, lost to Phoenix JC Thursday and bowed to San Diego State B team Friday. The Tigers appear the logical favorites over Fullerton tomorrow night, largely because of the advantage of playing on their own floor. The writer predicts a high-scoring game, however, with both squads likely to dump in 40 or more points. Tom Fuller, big center, is the ace of the Riverside squad and the leading scorer in the conference. It is likely that Nunn will assign Bud O'Dell, his best guard who fouled out in the first half against Chaffey, to guard Fuller, although GRAY'S GOOD... Gray is coming into its own as high style color the year around, judging from its frequency in current fashion shows. Here's a gray chiffon evening gown that won wide favor. It has a beaded "hot pink" belt, the same motif being used in neckline and shoulder straps. MOST VALUABLE... Bucky Walters, pitcher whose 27 victories, many of which he helped win with his bat, boosted Cincinnati Reds to first pennant in 20 years, received National league "most valuable player" award for 1939 from Edgar Brands (left), editor of Sporting News, at Philadelphia baseball banquet. AQUATIC BUS LINE AT HARBOR Sought An aquatic bus line for Newport Harbor was proposed to the city council of that city Monday night by J. A. Beek of Balboa Island, who said he is prepared to operate a fleet of five water taxis in regular runs around Newport Bay for passenger transportation if the council will grant him a franchise. The board authorized advertisement on the franchise following receipt of the letter from Beek. Beek's plan was for regular runs in both directions around the bay, touching all main points for passenger loading and unloading. He would operate from June 20 to September 5 of each year, with possibility that the time of operation would be extended if the line paid its own way. The boats would run every 15 minutes during the day.
