Tuesday, May 23, 1922 SPORT U. S. S. CALIF. TEAM WILL COME SUNDAY The next attraction for local baseball fans will be the fast baseball team from the U. S. Battleship California, the pride of the American navy. The gobs from the California won the Pacific fleet baseball championship which means they had to travel some. Manager Billy Knott of the Anaheim Elks announced today the arrangements for such a baseball treat had been affected. The game will be played on the local high school field next Sunday afternoon. Coffman, a fast infielder, will appear in an Anaheim uniform Sunday. Coffman was considered good enough for a tryout last year in the Los Angeles Pacific Coast League team. The Angels wanted to hang onto him, farming him out to a Canadian league, but he didn't fancy going to Canada. He is 21 and should make some of the regular hump. The record of the local team is attracting some mighty fine talent, a situation far different from last year when there were games in which barely nine men could be mustered for the lineup. It puts a lot more tap into the members of the regular crew when they know there are several on the bench waiting to step into their shoes. The Calif. Elks Baseball league is going to be much stronger this year and the locals will bump into much greater opposition, but the talent now available makes it certain that Anaheim will put a stronger team into the field than either of the previous seasons. At the meeting of baseball managers last Thursday evening at the L. A. Elks clubhouse it was the unanimous opinion that Anaheim would have the team into the field than either of the previous seasons. At the meeting of baseball managers last Thursday evening at the L. A.

Speaker LOS ANGELES, May 24. — Los is nothing mysterious about advertising if you know what it is and what it will do," said Don Francisco, vice president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World and former advertising manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. In a recent address on the subject of advertising before students of journalism and Commerce at the University of Southern California. "Advertising is like electricity," said the speaker. "It generates power and works sometimes in an unseen way—but it is all there just the same. The big thing to the merchant is that it is a direct ally in selling his goods. In fact, modern merchants are demanding more and more that the goods they handle be advertised in national magazines and local newspapers because of the educational effect it has on their customers." "The most popular misconception about advertising seems to be that it is very mysterious when, as a matter of fact, it is simply a direct method of acquiring readers of newspapers and magazines with certain features of a product in such a way that they will want to buy it. So long as people are human, advertising cannot be termed a service but as an art it has a vitally important place in business as a direct ally of the salesman. It makes his selling effort so much less." GIRL MASQUERADER FINDS THAT LIFE IS “TIRESOME” Rome—Signorita Maria della Chiesa, 25 years old and member of an ancient Etruscan family, masqueraded as a man for several years because there was "no real excitement in this world for a woman."

San Diego harbor receives $135,000 and Los Angeles Harbor $720,000, but the Senate has yet to approve the bill. "I am of the opinion that the bill will mean a great deal for the harbor." Linn L. Shaw, chairman of the Orange County Harbor commission, said. "If we can only get commerce to come through the harbor by the time the resurvey is started in appropriation for more work will probably follow. "The resurvey will show what has been done since the last survey and will give a detailed account of the general conditions at Newport harbor. It also will point out the commercial advantages of the port." Clyde Bishop, a director of the Orange County Harbor association, said: "I think it is a great thing for the future of the harbor. Army engineers will make an investigation and if they report favorably the port is on the map to stay, that's certain." "We certainly appreciate the efforts of Swing, Osborne and the other congressmen interested in our behalf in bringing about the resurvey," said R. L. Bixby, secretary of the Orange County Harbor association, "and I can say that we intend to have some real points to show the engineers when they get their work under way."

Purdy and family have returned from a trip to Little Bear, where they had a splendid vacation and happy outing. They were accompanied by Prof. and Mrs. H. H. Tracey, the former of the Pullerton high school faculty, making eight in the party. The trip was made in one of Mr. Purdy's pet cars, the Franklin air-cooled, and was made without a stop from San Bernardino to the high school camp, their destination. The performance of their car was a great delight to the genial salesman, Mr. Purdy, particularly as they passed many cars along the way parked beside the road to cool, overflowing or bubbling water. The roads are in excellent condition and everything about the camp points to a very active season at the resort.

"Performed of agriculture depends upon livestock" is to be keynote of big La Habra meeting Saturday. Dairymen, livestock packing houses and citrus growers will talk. The committee in arranging for the largest livestock meeting ever held in Orange-co has secured a group of men representing all phases of the livestock industry and allied industries for their program.

In order to drive home the importance of building for permanent agriculture a few carefully selected men are to be featured next Saturday.
