KIWANIS-ROTARY BATTLE ENDS 10-10 Necessitating another game to decide the club championship title of Ankheim, the Kiwanis and Rotary baseball athletes battled to a ten-to-ten tie called after nine innings on account of darkness. There was enough arguing and battling of Umpires Elmer Heidt and Frank Tausch to make it appear like a real ball game. However, the Rotarians appeared to be the best debaters, especially with Heidt, boy scout executive and also a Rotarian, that the Rotarians were able to pull themselves out of several bad holes. "Doc" Barnes played a brilliant game at third for the Rotarians. He shone for all. Bill Wallop and Bill Webb, for the Kiwanians, proved a baffling battery. The Rotarians made a striking appearance in the white overall uniforms until they had rolled in the dust a few times. The Kiwanians wore base overalls. HUGHES FEELS O. K., WORKS OUT TODAY Everything continued to look mighty good for Anaheim's again clinching the So. Cal. Elke baseball championship Sunday in the third and decisive clash with Pasaden at Vernon park in Los Angeles. "Hughes is feeling fine and worked out again today," announced Manager Pete Hate this afternoon. Standing of Clubs PACIFIC OAST LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

He rolled a 629 for three games yesterday. Jimmy Heffron goes to Long Beach tonight to uphold the dignity of Anaheim bowlers in the big elimination contest, semi-final rounds of which will be rolled at the bathhouse alleys. Jimmy expects to bring back several entries for the So. Cal bowling tourney which starts here Monday. Pete Wisser is limbering up his bowling arm again after a long vacation and will be adding interest to the same from now on. The boys are wondering when Vanatta will come to life again. DECLARES LITTLE Buck' Fipps, a mere slip of a child weighing considerably over the 200 mark. This giant will surely make a mean bid for a guard position. One of the great disappointments of the high school is that Don Jayne, who was counted on to fill a half-back position, is going to move away. Jayne is like a flash of lightning and will surely be missed. From tackle to tackle, this year's line is going to be heavier than it has been for years. With such huskies as Earl Jabs, Sam Millen, Harry Lebard, Jeff Cravath, "Buck" Fipps, Jim Coulson and the Best brothers, a line could be picked averaging over 175 pounds. When asked for his opinion of this year's team, "Spud" Morrison, the popular super-coach of the high school, gave the following statement: “This year’s prospects look exceedingly good to me. In a few days there will be at least 125 candidates out. Of course, there will be hard work in getting the material in shape. An offensive must be developed from almost entirely new men, but there is a lot of good material that can be found in the new men, that will undoubtedly help this situation.” “Bart Cock, this year’s captain, was hurrying to his piano lesson when he was asked for his statement so consequently it was short: “We will do a better job of cleaning up on Fullerton than we did last year.” Joe Smith, the competent manager of the team, also had a short but snappy salpion of the Fullerton battle. It was: "This year’s outlook is that Fullerton won't get a look-in." The second team, by the way, also has all the chances of annexing the county championship as it did last year. With nine-tenths of last year's team back and under the leadership of Coach Ray Adkinson, nothing can stop them, say the aspirants for that team. FINAL TOUCHES ON FIRST LEGION CARD Final touchs are being made on the field as well as to the No. Los Angeles arena of the Anaheim Legion. It was announced today. The premier lineup is going to be a stemwinder, was the declaration today. The promoters believe that when it is announced it will assure the filling of every one of the more than 1200 seats that are being provided in the new arena. It was practically assured that Gastine would be procured to meet Chat Neff in the main event. RACE RIOTS FOLLOW SHOOTING OF GIRLS CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 15. Race rioting which broke out at Mont Lake late yesterday afternoon continued until all negroes had been driven away. County Assessor James sessed the property of company for 1921 on $1,153,045.

DECLARES LITTLE PAVING IS BROKEN Declaring that the total of the broken down paved highways of the county if placed together would not exceed one-half of a mile of solid concrete four inches in thickness, and that the campaign being waged by the auto clubs of the state against the state highway commission is for political rather than economic reasons, Col. S. H. Finley, member of the board of supervisors before the Santa Ana iranis club discussed various phases of state and county highway construction. He asserted that the portion of the highway broken up is not more than one-third of one per cent of the system. He quoted figures to support his statements as to the deterioration of the county roads. To his mind the criticism that is being made against the system is entirely unsupported by facts. He declared that in his opinion property owners and residents of the county would not have been satisfied had the money voted for bonds for road building in the county been devoted to 8-inch construction instead of 4-inch pavement. The mileage would have been half what it is. He had figures showing that the automobile owners of the county had been saved in tire costs alone the sum of $2,600,000 in six years, or three times the cost of the system. HOTEL VALENCIA GUESTS Guests at Hotel Valencia yesterday included: J. J. Havard, Bridgeport, Conn.; Q. C. Thompson, Riverton; N. C. Murray, San Francisco; J. E. Menard, Los Angeles; Dr. J. S.

RACE RIOTS FOLLOW SHOOTING OF GIRLS CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 15. Race rioting which broke out at Mont Lake late yesterday afternoon continued until all negroes had been driven from the village, news reaching here today said. The disorder followed the shooting of four white girls by Jewel Clipper, a negro girl about 10 years of age, after an argument over using a spring.

PLENTY OF EATS AND DRINKS NEED MORE SPEED IN MAPPING NATION The U. R. Geological Survey, Department of Interior, has published about $000 engraved topographical maps, which represent nearly 43 pct of the area of the U. S. These maps are the results of surveys made during a period of 34 years, and the results are fairly good in quantity and quality for a government bureau which can go only so fast as apprehensions will permit. A few geologic maps were published by the survey prior to 1886, some of them in atlases accompanying reports on regions in the west, and a few were published separately in photolithographs; but the 1-degree sheets of northwest New Mexico and northeast Arizona, known as Wingate and Mount Taylor, N. Mex., and Fort Defiance, Tusayah Marsh Pass, and Canyon de Chely, Ariz., published in 1886, were the first topographic maps printed by the geological survey from engraved plates. Eight states—Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio — have been completely mapped and the work of mapping the state of New York is more than 90 pct completed. Several states are actively cooperating with the survey in this work and in 1920 contributed to it a total of nearly $200,000. With nearly 60 pct of the area of the country entirely unmapped and much that has been mapped in need of resurveys, and with the largest mapping organization in the country surveying only about 40 pct of the area in 40 years, the logical demand is for more speed. If these maps are to serve their full purpose in promoting national development the whole country must be mapped within this generation, or, even better, within the next decade.

The suggestion of crouching wagon wheels, quickly lost in the rustling of the roadside trees before a gusty wind. Finally a gabled wall loomed up. P. T. A.

PLAN PIER AT BALBOA Early construction of a pier at Balboa was indicated last night when the Newport Beach city council ordered the clerk to advertise for bids to be opened Oct. 2. The plan is to rebuild and strengthen the present pier, making certain alterations in it, and extend it out to a point where it will be valuable both as a pleasure and a fishing pier. Bonds of $25,000 for this purpose were voted several months ago by the Balboa-East Newport-Balboa Island district. The bonds, it is understood, will be taken by the contractor. Bids will also be opened Oct. 2, for construction of a public pleasure-boat landing on the Newport Harbor front at Palm street, Balboa, under a $150 bond issue voted several months ago. Proceedings were also started last night for the calling of an election for $80,000 bonds, to be used to provide an adequate water system for the beach harbor city, which is fast outgrowing the old established system. PROPER ALIGNMENT SHOULD BE MAINTAINED "Watch your wheels," is an admonition given to motorists by the service department of the Spreckels "savage" tire company. Careful attention should be given to wheel alignment. Many miles of tire service are lost when the wheels are "out of true." Tires used on wheels in this condition do not revolve straight forward as they should, but rather slide over the ground diagonally, the sidewise motion thus continually grinding off rubber from the trend. The effect is the same as though the tire were held against an emery sheet and slowly turned so as to grind down the tread on the entire surface. A toe-in of a quarter of an inch should be allowed on the front wheels. This is to neutralize their tendency to spread while in motion. Whenever the motorist has reason to believe that the wheels on his machine are not running true, he should have them tested. Try Plain Denier Want Ads. THE MANURE BANDIT A deep jet night, with heavy scudding clouds that obscured the stars. The suggestion of crouching wagon wheels, quickly lost in the rustling of the roadside trees before a gusty wind. Finally a gabled wall loomed up in the darkness ahead. The driver cupped his hand and listened intently; then, fastening his reins, dropped to the ground with a cal-like spring. He began to work rapidly, noiselessly. Apparently he was undiscovered. But no—! A second figure appeared and as suddenly leaped from the shadow of the barn. A scuffle! Muffled curses! Heavy blows! The sound of a falling body! Stillness. Then a tiny circle of light flashed from an electric pocket lamp and revealed a swarthy face—that of the driver of a mysterious wagon. "Ah ha, as I thought!" cried a deep voice of triumph. "Manuel Rodriguez, the manure bandit. Caught at last!" The manure bandit is not a movie actor, but a reality. He knows where he can sell his goods—no questions asked. And he has learned to work during dark nights. But his days are numbered now; those farmers who have not flush systems in their barns are learning to spread manure daily or to keep the pile, a safe distance from the road. For that is the only way they are sure of cashing in on it.—Robert E. Jones, in Orchard and Farm. ANOTHER BIRCH OIL ACTION Woodruff and Shoemaker, attorneys for the Birch Oil Co., have petitioned the superior court for a writ of review and transcript of the proceedings taken by supervisors, while sitting as a board of equalization, at which time the oil company's tax assessment was raised $150,000. The petition asks that the transcript be certified to the superior court and that the court set aside and annul the action taken by the supervisors in raising the assessment. It also cites the supervisors to show their authority and jurisdiction in acting in an alleged arbitrary manner. County Assessor James Sleeper assessed the property of the Birch Oil company for 1921 on a valuation of $1,153,045. The oil company protested to the board of equalization. The board held that instead of being too high the assessment was too low and advanced it to $1,303,045. SHOE INDUSTRY 80 PCT.

HERO HAS HIS DIFFICULTIES It is difficult to be a hero in an age when people do such queer things by way of argument. Patrolman Stephen Burke, a rookie on the force, saw an opportunity the other night to move into the hero ranks. But when he grappled it, he learned that things are not always what they seem. A woman was drowning! In the dark night and the wet Long Island Sound! Downrushed Patrolman Burke to the shore and plunged in. Soon he grasped her. Then—"What do you mean?" exclaimed the lady, quite sharply, too. "Can't a lady go for a swim at midnight without a masher grabbing her?" Then he saw that she was all fifty clothed in a bathing suit and tried to show her his shield to prove his honorable intentions—but it had dropped in the waves. It took considerable argument to save himself from arrest. "I am living at the hotel right near here," she explained, "and I go for a swim every night and I NEVER drown." AERONAUTICAL TERMS ARE TAKING FORM The United States army and navy henceforth will have a prescribed nomenclature in air service. Standard terms have been devised and compiled by the national advisory committee for aeronautics. Swift development of aeronautics within the last few years has produced a large number of new terms which become permanent contributions to the language, just as the evolution of the automobile has developed a terminology peculiar to motoring. Hereafter it will be strictly according to prescribed regulations to speak of anything that traverses the air as "aircraft," rather than as "airships," which has become common usage. And so on through all the words which apply to nautical craft, or to movements of aircraft. And so language expands. New industries have added many words. So has transportation in its various forms and instrumentalities. Dictionary of the future will be formidable volumes. NEW PRICES --on-- USED CARS USED CAR DEPT. Wickersheim Imp. Co. 120-122 W.
