Browns Report February 20; Four Games Here Scheduled Anaheim’s vaunted weather receives another boost in most recent newspaper releases emanating from the St. Louis Browns’ offices in St. Louis, announcing that the American leaguers next season will enjoy the earliest date for spring training which the club has had in many years—February 20. The entire squad of approximately 60 men will report on that date. “The weather at Anaheim, Calif., is considered ideal for pre-season training, and the location will afford more major league competition in their exhibition games,” Vice President Bill DeWitt tells the nation’s press, “since a number of other major league clubs also will train in that area.” “Lifting of travel restrictions permits the Browns to take better advantage of more ideal conditions necessary to get a major league baseball club in shape for opening day,” DeWitt said, his mind, no doubt, reverting back to last spring, when it was necessary to “train” his athletes in the damp cold “of his own backyard” in Southeast Missouri. The team opened spring training last year on March 12. FOUR GAMES HERE The Browns will appear here in four games, facing three other big league opponents, the spring training schedule shows. Only one is against another American League entry. They will meet the Pittsburgh Pirates in a pair of games at La Palma park, Sunday and Monday, March 3 and 4. Wednesday, March 20, the Chicago White Sox will cross bats with the Brownies here, while the National League Champion Cubs will wind up the Browns “home” stand in an exhibition here Monday, March 25. The schedule shows that the Browns will play games in this vicinity with the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast league, as well as against the Cubs.

Arthur Funeral Service Continued from Page 1 as past potentate of the Mysterious Shrine there. He was a past president of the Anaheim chamber of commerce, having held that office two years, and of the Anaheim Kiwanis club, as well as a member of the Anaheim Fusileers. He was active in all civic, charitable and patriotic activities during his residence here. Born in Rugby, Eng., Arthur came to the United States as an infant. He had been engaged in the theatrical business since your manhood, having started as a singer and dancer in vaudeville. Five sons and five daughters survive. They are Harry C., Jr., head of a theater chain in St. Louis, Mo.; Milton C., Southern California district manager; Long Beach, L.A.; Edward who is in the army, and Lt. David and Lt. James of the Marines. Marie Arthur Doyle, Morris town, N. J., Jane Arthur Treanor, St. Louis, Elizabeth Arthur Rogers, New York, Nellie Arthur Hunt and Helen Arthur King whose husband, George King, manager of the Fox Broadway theater in Santa Ana. Mr. and Mrs. King formerly made their home here. A resolution of condolence on Arthur's death was adopted by the city council at its meeting Tuesday night. It expresses the family "deepest sympathy on the people of Anaheim in the passing of a citizen to whom the city is deeply indebted for his effort to make this a better place in which to live, and who was be loved for his generosity, personal quality and courtesy." Pirates in a pair of games at La Palma park, Sunday and Monday, March 3 and 4. Wednesday, March 20, the Chicago White Sox will cross bats with the Brownies here, while the National League Champion Cubs will wind up the Browns "home" stand in an exhibition here Monday, March 25. The schedule shows that the Browns will play games in this vicinity with the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast league, as well as against the Cubs, Pirates and White Sox. In all, the Browns will play 34 pre-season exhibitions, 19 of which will be at various points in the Southland, 13 on the road trip back East, and the remaining two with the Cardinals at St. Louis. 19 AGAINST CUBS Nineteen of the Browns exhibition games are with the Cubs, including all 13 of the games on the road. With single exception of the game here, all Browns-Cub games in Southern California will be played at Los Angeles. The Browns open their exhibition schedule against the Pirates at Los Angeles on Saturday, March 2, the day prior to their opening here. "Early reporting date and extensive competition with major league clubs will give Manager Luke Sewall and his staff an excellent opportunity to determine the players he will retain," DeWitt comments. "Quite a bit of 'shucking' will have to be done, with so many members of the Browns returning from the service and vying with the 1945 members for the nine positions on the baseball field." Colonists Close Season With Win Over Orange, 14-7 In their eighth and final game of the present season, Anaheim's Union high school Colonists won their seventh 1945 victory by squeezing a 14-7 decision out of a hard-fighting Orange eleven at La Palma park here last Friday night. The only smear on the local escutcheon is the tilt dropped to Santa Ana's undefeated champion Saints in the league opener. Anaheim finished second in the league standing. After a scoreless first quarter, the Colonists got off in front in the second when Don Bauer ground right and for a March 15—Cubs at Los Angeles. March 16—Pittsburgh at Hollywood.

A contest among high school boys, with a similar tour, also on Dec. 15, as a prize for the one selling the largest amount of bonds has developed into a neck-and-neck affair, with three entries "thundering down the stretch" in what promises to be "a blanket finish."

The only smear on the local escutcheon is the tilt dropped to Santa Ana's undefeated champion Saints in the league opener. Anaheim finished second in the league standing. After a scoreless first quarter, the Colonists got off in front in the second when Don Bauer raced around right end for a touchdown. In the third period, Koontz clinched victory with a breathtaking 50-yard run, after taking Ochoa's pass and safely threading his way through threatening defenders. In both instances, Hernandez demonstrated the unerring aim of his trusted toe, and both extra points safely clincked into the Colonists' collection box. Pestolesi, Panther right end, the receiving end of a passing combination that included Webbeking, reached the pay-off after pulling one down and racing 45 yards for the goal line. Frick kicked the extra point. Conservate Committeemen (Continued from Page 1) as operation of the program has been more largely handed to the counties for administeration than in the past. Conservation funds are turned over to the county for allocation, Griset explains. Community committees tell the county committee what is needed. On these recommendations, the latter establishes practices, restrictions and other requirements. Anaheim Gazette, since 1870.
