OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAFED HEAD BY WALDO HUNTER Officials of the Los Angeles Office of Civilian Defense, arising to an occasion, have listed several pointers which Californians are advised to remember during an earthquake. Above all, says the OCD, "Be calm. Don't panic." Now, let us analyze this exhortation, keeping the big shake of July 21, of course, uppermost in mind. During the early stages of this thing it was not particularly difficult to remain calm. In fact, most of us, rudely shaken from sleep at 8 a.m., were just plain numb. I don't know what your reactions to the phenomenon were, but I awoke from a dream of Oriental splendor. I was a potentate riding regularly in a respendent howdah stop a swaying, lurching elephant, bobbing this way and that, occasionally tossing a handful of colts to the multitude. But this reverie was abruptly ended by such non-regal noises as the clanking of water pipes in the house, the clinking of dishes in the china closet, and the voice of this woman beside me saying: "NOW, what are you up to?" The neighborhood dogs were howling mournfully. Some giant hand was wrenching the house in combined undulating and rotary motions. Sunday night's dinner lay uneasy in the paunch. All inside the house was darkness, but from our bedroom window we saw lurid flashes outlining the horizon, adding a further note of eerieness to an already impractical situation. Realizing that, as head of the house, it befell me to say something reassuring, I left off gnawing on the pillow case and said: "It's an earthquake." As it turned out, this wasn't very reassuring. "There's nothing to be alarmed about," I added, thus starting off a brand new week with a bare-faced lie. "Do not panic," says the OCD. But this is easy to say. When you look out your bedroom window during an earthquake and see a telephone pole lashing like a tiger's tail, isn't a little panic excusable? Panic is one of the prime animal instincts. To panic in the face of threatened bodily harm which we are powerless to prevent is as natural as to breathe. When the sand blows high, we can seek shelter. When the sun scorches, we can crawl to shade. We can creep to higher ground to escape floods, and we can make heat to stave off the bitter cold. But when the good earth itself starts shaking, then, verily, our last refuge is gone. It follows, therefore, that anyone who panics during an earthquake is complying himself in a natural and entirely human manner, and he is absolutely within his Constitutional rights. Office of Civilian Defense be durned. Don't panic indeed! What did the OCD officials themselves do to while away the time during that quake . . . break out a hand of whist? The OCD (meaning well, make no doubt), listed other things to do or not to do when an earthquake strikes. Don't run blindly outdoors. If in a building, DO stand in doorways. Don't make unnecessary phone calls. Turn on the radio or TV to receive instructions, making sure first that gas lines in your home have not been broken. All this information is well-meant, and it is sound. But the OCD, and incidentally, the California State Chamber of Commerce may as well face the hard facts: In case of a California earthquake, better be in Minnesota. A protested play in the closed seconds of a game between Anaheim Bloomers, local kukusho softball team, and the Fullerton Sweethearts yesterday probably temporarily deprived Anaheim a 7-5 win on the Amerige field in Fullerton. The protest came in the top of the seventh and final inning after two outs had been made. Bloomer catcher dropped the ball on the third strike and a Swift heart runner quickly advanced second. The batter was audaciously out, but the protest was that the umpire illegally called the runner back to first. The game will, according to proceed from that point on Thursday night at 7:15 in the same park. A regular full length goal will follow. Doris Holve was top hitter the evening with 2 for 2. She pitched the entire game. Fullerton's top hitter was N. Turner with 2 for 4. Fullerton scored in all three fins in a big second inning. Anaheim, after trailing in the eighth stages of the game, scored ninth in the second, fourth, sixth seventh innings. In the first Alice Weaver hit by a pitch and was replaced by Jo Ann Clark who ran for 10 yards after a brief rest. Alice returned to the lineup. Feminine Netter From Anaheim Speed in Tourney Jean Williams and Mary Fly Anaheim's feminine nettists, in the pace for the large group local players in the 17th Anniversary Santa Ana Tennis Championship as they won their way into quarter-finals of their respectful singles divisions. REALIZING that, as head of the house, it befell me to say something reassuring, I left off gnawing on the pillow case and said: "It's an earthquake." As it turned out, this wasn't very reassuring. "There's nothing to be alarmed about," I added, thus starting off a brand new week with a bare-stuffed improvement in his cozy salon. 75 Years Ago August 1877 A drove of horses belonging to the Coast Line Stage Co., were brought into town yesterday from Las Boles. Meersa, V. Montgomery and T. S. Grimshaw left yesterday for Wilmington to join a pleasure party which intends to spend a week or two on Catalina Island. Pete Richards is making extensive improvement in his cozy salon. 25 Years Ago August 1927 Mail Carrier Baum is enjoying a well-earned vacation with his family in the San Bernardino mountains, and will be away a couple of weeks. His place is being filled by Roy Penelleton. Baum expects to get a couple of deer before he returns. SAVINGS INSURED TO $10,000 OUR 63rd YEAR IN ANAHEIM 21 E.

Anaheim’s Junior Girl Netters Lose Title Match by 4-3 Count Anaheim's Junior Girls' Tennis team lost the final and deciding round of the Southern California Junior Tennis League by a close 4 to 3 margin in the final series played on the Arcadia courts yesterday against the strong Arcadia girls' team. Anaheim was still a definite contender for the championship title going into the last match, but had to be satisfied with the second go Lovèdalé. Karen Lenain, playing in the second singles spot was also a winner, although getting off to a slow start. Karen dropped the first set 4-6, but came back in a rush to take the second set by the same score, and then completely blanked her opponent. Monte Bixby, in the third and deciding set.

Ailing Tom Sharkey, Now 79 Years, May Be Fighting His Final Battle SAN FRANCISCO. (AP)—Sailor Tom Sharkey, once a gloved terror of the ring, now is fighting a serious—and possibly his final—battle. His opponents are old age, feebleness and loneliness. Sharkey is confined to a bed in San Francisco hospital. He entered the institution penhilless. Friends Aid Friends have come to his aid. Parker Maddux, banker, and Louis Lurie, financier, are members of a committee which has undertaken to collect a fund for the old time pugilist's needs. Contributions have been small. Less than $1000 is on hand for medical and other aid. Never a champion himself, Sharkey boxed the best in his day. He is the only man alive today who exchanged punches with the first four heavyweight champions under the Marquis of Queensbury rules. They are John L. Sullivan, James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons and James J. Jeffries. 79 Years Old Sharkey was born in Dundalk; Ireland, Nov. 26, 1873. He is approaching his 79th birthday.

(AP)—Thirty of the nation's topflight drivers have entered the American Automobile Association 100-mile championship. 'Big Jawn' Paces Stars to 3-2 Win Over Frisco Seals By The Associated Press Whether he is pitching or taking his cut at the plate, big Jawn Lindell of the Hollywood Stars is a guy to be reckoned with. He pitched the Stars into first place in the Pacific Coast league last Sunday and he kept them there last night by clouting a homer that gave his team a 3 to 2 decision over San Francisco. Won 19 Games The ex-New York Yankee, at 36 a veteran who should be near the end of his playing career, is unquestionably one of the most valuable players in the league this year. He has won 19 games on the mound with his knuckleball and has won several more with his bat. John always has been real handy with that bat. He tied for the highest batting average in a seven-game World Series in 1947, getting nine hits in 18 tries, and his lifetime hitting mark for the '43, '47 and '49 series, including 12 games, is .324. Oakland kept right on the heels of the Stars and still is only a half game behind today, having whipped Los Angeles, 3 to 2. Tookie Gilbert's single with Ray Noble on second decided the issue in the sixth. Oak third sacker Johnny Jorgensen homered in the fourth. Padres Lose Sacramento ended a nine-game losing streak by dropping San Diego, 6 to 4. Chesty Chet Johnson and Bert Barkelew combined in the Sac pitching assignment and fanned 10 Padre batters. Steve Nagy pitched a two-hitter for Seattle against Portland and yet lost 3 to 2. All Portland runs came in the sixth inning and were uncarned. Nagy himself committed the error that cost him the game, and his luck was a continuation of the misfortune that dogs him when he performs against the Beavers. In his last appearance...
