League Officials Meet In Anaheim Baseball Club Owners Work Out Problems In Long Session Here Anaheim’s Aces will swing into action in the new California Class C baseball league on April 19 at Santa Barbara, according to the plans approved here last Friday when officials of the new loop met at the Elks clubhouse. Bob Ripley, owner of the Anaheim club and vice president of the league, was host to his colleagues. Several other actions were approved, all designed to improve the calibre of baseball which will be played in the league. Salary limits were raised from $1550 to $1650, exclusive of the manager, and it was specified that “parent” clubs may not contribute salaries for players they farm out if such salaries would increase the total beyond the maximum. Players limit was retained at 15, including the manager. At least three of the players must have had less than a year’s experience in organized baseball and at least five must be men who have had less than three years’ experience. The remainder may be veteran players. The schedule calls for 140 games, of which half will be played on home grounds. At the close of the regular schedule the team in first place will be designated as champions, although the four top clubs will engage in a play-off for the President’s cup and a cash award. All games will probably be played at night, excepting Sunday and holidays, although no official ruling was made on that matter.

Each club having box seats will fix its own price for such accommodations. The league is composed of Anaheim, Bakersfield, Fresno, Merced, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and Stockton. All have direct connections with teams in either the Pacific Coast league or National league, Anaheim having a working agreement with San Diego. Charles F. Sly Convicted by Jury Charles F.

Rainfall Breaks 57-Year Record Continued from page 1 La Palma, west of Palm was barred to traffic Tuesday. Yesterday morning a strong stream was running westward along that water-carrying street. In connection with the present storms, an article which appeared in The Gazete on Feb. 3 1916, recalling earlier years of heavy precipitation, is of interest. It mentioned the storms which resulted in the flood of 1862, declaring that there were no measuring devices at that time. "Madonna and Child" by Fausto Tasca, well-known Los Angeles artist, is on display at the Anaheim public library. Showing the picture is the owner and close friend of the late painter, Louis Gagliardi. He has dispalyed the art work at Los Angeles, San Diego, Long Beach, Redondo and Santa Ana, and in some cities where Tasca painted murals, such as San Diego and Los Angeles, the picture is doubly interesting. Tasca named his picture "Nuestra Sonora la Riena del Pueblo de Sonora," or "Our Lady, the Mother of the Town of Sonora." His earlier works were the canvas, "The Last Judgement," the church of Our Lady of Rosary in San Diego, and works in Los Angeles and Rebecca. Gagliardi was a close friend Tasca and began his exhibit immediately after the death of painter. His purpose is to people of ordinary means a chance to view good art, brought individual towns and public libraries for closer study.
