IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago August 1877 I am prepared to furnish ice in any quantity to hotels, restaurants, saloons and private residents: Apply at A. Langenberger's store—J. J. Hill, agent. From our Santa Ana correspondent we learn that a party of the most pleasant character took place last Monday evening at the newly completed residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. Spurgeon. Messrs French, Stafford, Ropes and Humphreys with their ladies graced the occasion with their presence besides a goodly number of young folks, all of whom enjoyed the occasion immensely. A large number of health seekers are now at Anaheim Landing George Pridham, of Los Angeles was thrown from a buggy in that city on Tuesday evening and was very badly bruised. The "Star" says it will be some time before he will be able to walk about. Mr. Putney, in borne an artesian well for Mr. Omri Bullis, near Compton, on Friday, at a depth of 325 feet struck a stream of water of such power that it threw rocks, one of which weighed four pounds. A band of horses for government use in Arizona camped near town last night. At a meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, IOOF held on Tuesday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: A. J. Brown, NG; J. H. Gooch, VG; H. S. Austin, RS; H. McDermont, PS; P. C. McKennie, treasurer. the location of the new railroad depot at Los Angeles, has impressed the railroad officials with the necessity of accommodating their patrons by having a flag station at the old depot. The proper representations have been made to the general office and Superintendent Hewitt is inclined to think that his request for a flag station will be acceded to. 50 Years Ago August 1902 Clarence Smith had a piece of glass taken from his arm by Dr. Brickford on Saturday afternoon, which had found lodgment in the flesh some three weeks ago. He was scuffling with his brother at the home place, when he accidentally ran his right elbow through a pane of glass. The cut healed up in a few days and he experienced no ill results from it. Sunday morning while in the bath, he felt a painful sensation in his elbow, and felt a foreign obstacle under the skin. He came into town and the doctor cut out a piece of glass. Clarence says he wants no glass arms in his'n. Judge Shanley is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Shanley, who is visiting with friends in Pittsburg, saying she had been called upon by a cousin of Mr. Falkenstein of this city. Mrs. Shanley adds that she is enjoying herself and having a very pleasant visit. Walter Eyman is engaged in making a tracing of the La-Habra reservoir map at the water office. The object is to find the high water line.

C. McKennle, treasurer. Work on the improvements at the Anaheim Alden Factory is progressing rapidly. The new boiler has been laid and the additional evaporator will be finished in about two weeks. The factory will then commence operations for the season. The proprietors have already contracted for a large quantity of potatoes, and unless prevented by unforeseen difficulties the factory will continue to run on vegetables until the grape crop matures. The very general complaint which has been made in regard to Walter Eyman is engaged in making a tracing of the La-Habra reservoir map at the water office. The object is to find the high water line. He has a lease on the premises for oil developing purposes, and discovered the other day, that the location of what promised to be a very fine well was below the high water line. He proposes to have no such mistakes in the future. Miss Price, a young miss from Santa Ana, has been in the city during the week as a competitor in the scholarship contest inaugurated by the Los Angeles Times. Miss Price is a sprightly little miss, and we hope she may succeed in her laudable ambition. Mrs. C. Langenburger is in Chino visiting her daughter Mrs. Turck. Move Started to Put Satch Paige In Baseball's Hall of Fame By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP)—A movement is afloat to vote Satchel Paige, the practically ageless Negro pitcher, into baseball's Hall of Fame, and after considerable thought we have decided it is the thing to do. If you want to go by Paige's rather brief record in the big leagues, then he does not, of course belong among the statuary at Cooperstown, N.Y. But when all the factors of his amazing career are considered, there can exist little doubt that the slim, slow-tailin' master of control deserves to be the first of his race to win the game's highest honor. Here, by all the evidence, is one of the great pitchers, one who almost certainly would have ranked with the Mathewsons and Alex-anders and Johnsons but for the fact that he came along too soon, before Jackie Robinson broke down the racial barrier in 1946 with Montreal. No one can say for certain what Paige's record would have been if he had come to the big show in his prime, but it is possible to make a mighty good guess. Fifteen and 20 years ago, big leaguers who had run afoul of his fast ball on some winter tour would talk about him in the dugouts, and sometimes you felt they must be exaggerating. They said he was as good as Dizzy Dean or Lefty Grove and would tell remarkable tales of duels between him and reigning big league aces out in the barn-storming country. We recall one well known batter of the period—possibly it was Paul Waner—saying earnestly, "I'm glad he ain't in this league." But for all that, Satchmo remained a sort of living fable, a dusky Paul Bunyan of the baseball world, until Bill Veeck ran him down between one-night stands in 1948 and signed him to a Cleveland contract. The most amazing thing of all is that Paige. First Round of Ends with Big Winners were (left to right) Runner Calls U.S. Offers Ridiculous VIENNA (P)—Emil Zatopi Czechoslovakia's triple gold masters in the recent Olympics spurned bids to visit the United States, calling the offers "ridiculous, unsportsmanlike." The world's marathon champion, broadcasting over Prague radio, said while at Hinke he had received numerous offers to run in America. He said, however, the offer were to run on "circus" trade unsuitable for his long-distance running. He added: "I only laughed when I received these ridiculous unsportsmanlike offers." Zatopek said the United States was indirectly responsible for our record breaking feats at Helsinki where he won the 5,000 and 10,000 meter runs in the marathon. "It was the brutal" and hard play of the United States ice hockey team in the winter Olympics which drove me and my most recent performances," he said. "I made a pledge to win least two gold medals for my country." Europeans sharply criticize American and Canadian hockets teams at Oslo for what they terrified "rough tactics." Zatopek made no specific reference to the suggestion by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Charlie Sawyer that he and his wife took the U.S. Dick Kryhoski, first baseman for the St. Louis Browns, served on the aircraft carrier Ticonderoga during World War II. though by then almost certainly his high 40's, still retained enough of his ability to make men marvel at what he must have been in his prime. The final proof, if it were needed, can be in that 12-inning shutout Satch pitched against the Detroit Tigers recently. By any yardstick it ranks among the outstanding feats of baseball history—a re You're Way Ahead by Greyhound ECONOMY So little cost by bus!

Middlecoff Ties Burke, Playoff Starts Today KANSAS CITY (P)—Cary Middlecoff breezed into his second tournament playoff within a week today, meeting Jack Burke, Jr. of Houston, Tex., for the Kansas City Open golf title. The Memphis, Tenn., pro and Burke tied at 276 strokes, 12 under par, at the end of the regulation 72 holes in the $15,000 tournament. The 18-hole medal play match for the $2400 first prize was scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. over the 6208-yard, par-72 Milburn Country club course. Just a week ago today Middlecoff lost a playoff to Julius Boros, Mid Pines, N.C., in the $25,000 "World" Golf Tournament at Chicago. In yesterday's competition, Burke turned in a sizzling 5-under par 87 after missing a 30-inch putt on the last hole. He blamed the bark of a dog, which came just as he started his putt, for the miss. Middlecoff played his last two holes in a driving rain and got a 69. Burke, who won four consecutive tournaments earlier this summer, played eight rounds of subpar golf in the Tam-O'Shanter and "World" Golf Tournaments at Chicago and was well under par in four rounds here. Boros, who took the lead in money winnings by virtue of his big grab at Chicago, had to settle for $50 here after shooting 74 for a 292 total.

Last week Big Jawn hurled the Stars into the league lead and will be out to do it agin when he faces Sacramento's Jesse Flores. Here's what started the rhubarb last month.
