WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. VOL. XXVI—NO. 31 RESCUER WORLD MAT CHAMPION IN CITY Ad Santel, Light Heavyweight Premier, Here for Match With Mabee By Sargum Sprout Ad Santel, world's light heavyweight chainpion of the world, arrived in Anaheim Saturday afternoon for his match with Roy Mabee tomorrow. CREWS FAIL TO HEAR SOUND Greeted by Blast of Air as Tunnel is Opened at 7 A.M. Argonaut Mine, Jackson, Cal. Sept. 18.—Twenty-one days and six hours after the Argonaut mine shafts caved the rescue workers broke through the barriers of solid rock and threw Ad Santel, Light Heavyweight Premier, Here for Match With Mabee By Sargum Sprout Ad Santel, world's light heavy weight champion of the world, arrived in Anaheim Saturday afternoon for his match with Roy Mabee tomorrow evening. Ad is a real champion and looks the part. He has the appearance of being a wee bit heavier than Roy but not enough to make any real difference. One is also impressed with his absolute confidence. If he does not throw Roy Twice in the given time he is going to be a very surprised man. He looks to be as near physical perfection as possible. Ad has cleaned up a nice little fortune in the last few years. If he were to lose his championship and drawing ability, he possibly could keep the wolf from the door by nursing his little nest egg along. Roy Mabee, our wrestling rancher, had his career broken into and a lay off of several years made necessary. He entered the ring about a year ago. He pinned Al Sparks the Garden Grove strong boy. He next took on Vie Reden later he threw Sparks and Bled both times in less than 50 minutes. He threw big Jap air take two out of three falls. His lastatch was with Hackenschmidt, the Glendale Bear Cat, which Roy won two straight. Now Roy is going after the king bee. Can he or can he not? Mabee. Owing to the extra expense the fair fans will have to pay just the same as we ordinary men. Mabee is very sorry that it is necessary to charge the lady folk and in the future he hopes it will never again be a necessity. It has been decided that the winner will take 75 per cent and the loser 25 per cent of the gate receipts. Santel agrees to throw Roy twice in 60 minutes. If Roy succeeds getting one fall Santel is the loser. Roy worked out his last time Sunday afternoon. He is in tip top shape and is ready for the battle of his life. He will supervise the laying of the mat this afternoon which will put everything in readiness for the big event of our sport world. There is nothing today but wait until tomorrow night. How is it going to come out? I do not know nor do I want to make a guess. Santel is sure he knows Roy never makes his views known. Judging from Roy's past performances, the great Ad will have to get in his work the first 30 minutes or not at all. STRIKES POLE WHEN Greeted by Blast of Air as Tunnel is Opened at 7 A.M. Argonaut Mine, Jackson, Cal. Sept. 18.—Twenty-one days and six hours after the Argonaut mine shafts caved the rescue workers broke through the barriers of solid rock and three gangs, equipped with oxygen tanks, gas masks, medicines and resuscitation appliances, crawled through the narrow opening and dared death in a gigantic game of hide-and-go-seek, endeavoring to find and save the 47 men who have been entombed in the tunnels since Aug. 27. The first break through the rock came before 7 o'clock, but it was an hour and a half later before the hole could be enlarged sufficiently to enable the rescuerers to go inside the mine. The tunnel had been run through from the Kennedy mine by volunteer workers who toiled until they dropped from exhaustion. When the barrier was broken through a howling gale of wind began to suck through the aperture from the outer world into the gas-poisoned depths of the Argonaut mine where the 47 victims have been entombbed. This wind delayed rescue parties for some time as it was impossible to keep the miners' lamps lighted in the sweeping draft. This fresh current air did not have the effect of stirring up the ammonolering fires, it is believed. When two hours had passed without reports of any men, dead or alive, being found, the strain among the watchers grew intense. It was pointed out that the exploration party would be forced to proceed slowly and in addition much of its work would require descending ladders through "manways," carefully feeling each step of the way. JAPAN PULLS WOOL OVER EYES OF U.S. That Japan is pulling the wool over the eyes of America in regard to conditions in the Far East, Dr. H.C. Whiting today told The Anaheim Rotary club. Dr. Whiting spent many years in the far east, living in Korea, Japan, and China. He said that Japan is trying to make America think she is tormented when she is in reality building up a big military machine. He said that the Japs have adopted the German spirit rather than that of England and America.

Pasadena left the Community hospital today for their home after being injured in an atuo accident Saturday. Both were severely shaken and shocked by the accident. Mrs. Horn is cut about the forehead and her husband suffered a cut hand. The Horns were riding yesterday near Culver's corner and in order to avoid striking a car that had cut in ahead of them, Horn was forced to serve, the car to the side of the road, striking a telephone post. LOWER TEMPERATURE IS LATE FORCAST LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18.—Col. H. B. Hersey government weather man Los Angeles, today predicted a lowering of the temperature compared to yesterday's summer heat record of 102 degrees. The weather man attributed the sudden hot wave as being caused by the "distribution of atmospheric pressure," which discredits reports that forecast fires near this city were responsible. LEMONADE SALES SETS HIGH RECORD ST. PAUL, Sept. 18.—It was a thirsty crowd which went to the state fair which has just closed. Gale Brooks, who has the lemonade, root beer, ice cream and peanuts concession in the grandstand, said that never in the 10 years since he has had this privilege have the lemonade and root beer sales been so large.

Funeral arrangements are not completed. The body is at the Huddle Udertaking parlors. THAT JAPAN is pulling the wool over the eyes of America in regard to conditions in the Far East, Dr. H. C. Whiting today told the Anaheim Rotary club. Dr. Whiting spent many years in the far east, living in Korea, Japan, and China. He said that Japan is trying to make America think she is for disarmament when she is in reality building up a big military machine. He said that the Japs have adopted the German spirit rather than that of England and America. He touched also on the situation between China and Japan. The matter of Rotary day at the Orange-co fair at Santa Ana was presented by Guy Gilbert of Santa Ana, and he reminded the local Rotarians that this is not only Santa Ana's fair but also Orange-co's. The matter of participation will be taken up by directors of the local club. It is stated that Anaheim will co-operate to the fullest extent. The wives of the Rotarians took them by surprise, making themselves guests of their husbands. A special program was given.

Eddie Dunn, snappy third baseman of the champion Elks Baseball team, was taken to the hospital with a sunstroke Saturday, and fans joined with Mana ger Billy Knott of the Elks team in mutual commiseration. Today, Jack Pendleton, the speedy little shortstop, is laid up with a painful injury to his knee as the result of an auto wreck. Just how serious the injury will prove remains to be seen. While driving a Ford to his work on the Standard Kreamer No. 1 lease shortly before 7 a.m. today, a looac front wheel buckled in some soft dirt beside the road and the car turned upside down in front of the Stanley ranch at Yorba smashing the top, windshield, steering wheel and right front fender. Here Are the Facts About Victims of the Mine Trap Shaft in Argonaut mine at Jackson, Cal., caved in on Aug. 28, entombing 47 miners. Fire followed the cave-in and attempts to rescue by means of the usual methods failed. Aug. 31 crews of men began drilling through rock to open from the Kennedy mine a passageway into the shaft of the Argonaut so that the imprisoned miners could escape. Experts figured out that the entombed men were able to get water, but there was no food and it was feared the oxygen might be exhausted from the air, thus causing death by suffocation. Sept. 6 two tunnels were being run from the Kennedy mine, one on the 3600-foot level and the other on the 4200-feet level. Volunteers worked until they dropped in the efforts at rescue, but their progress through walls of solid rock was slow. Sept. 18 reports said they were nearing their goal, but an unexpected ledge of rock was encountered and the rescue was delayed. Experts differ as to whether any of the entombed men would remain alive when the walls finally were broken through. There were 47 men trapped when the shaft caved in. Of these 42 were married and had families near the Argonaut mine. RACERS GRIEVE OVER DEATH OF SARLES FRENCH AID IN NEAR EAST IS OFFERED Today, Jack Pendleton, the speedy little shortstop, is laid up with a painful injury to his knee as the result of an auto wreck. Just how serious the injury will prove remains to be seen. While driving a Ford to his work on the Standard Kreamer No. 1 lease shortly before 7 a.m. today, a loose front wheel buckled in some soft dirt beside the road and the car turned upside down in front of the Stanley ranch at Yorba smashing the top, windshield, steering wheel and right front fended. Jack was able to extricate himself and was standing beside the wrecked car when his bachelor roommate, Leonard Sawyer, pulled up in a few minutes. He was removed to his home here. Manager Knott today hoped that both Pendleton and Dunn will be able to get into shape for the state championship game at Santa Monica in 2½ weeks. Loren Ury, manager of the also ran Pasadena Elks baseball team, can't get over the way Anaheim upset his pets. He told Manager Sam Cox yesterday morning if he came back with a win over Anaheim there'd be $50 waiting for him. Cox jokingly offered to split with Manager Knott of the locals if the latter lost, but Knott couldn't see anything but to win the game. DUNN OVERCOME BY HEAT SATURDAY Eddie Dunn, crack third-baseman of the champion AnaheimElks baseball team, formerly of Denver, was stricken by a severe sunstroke Saturday afternoon. He is said to have consumed too much cold water while overheated from handling fumigating tents. He was removed to the Elks club and then to the Anaheim hospital.

The flames swept over about 2000 acres of the range on the Rancho Santa Ana owned by Fred Bixby of Long Beach, and Mrs. Susan Bixby Bryant of Los Angeles. About 300 acres of the Anaheim Union Water Co. were burned over as were 100 acres of the Carrillo ranch, 100 acres MERCURY IS IN RECORD A serious brush fire that burned over 3000 acres on the northside of Santa Ana canyon east of Yorba was extinguished about noon Sunday after 24 hours of hard fighting. The flames swept over about 2000 acres of the range on the Rancho Santa Ana owned by Fred Bixby of Long Beach, and Mrs. Susan Bixby Bryant of Los Angeles. About 300 acres of the Anaheim Union Water Co. were burned over as were 100 acres of the Carrillo ranch, 100 acres of the Travis ranch and a part of the Dominguez ranch. E. R. Johnson, superintendent of the Bixby holdings, and his gardener R. L. Robinson, fought the flames single-handed from Saturday noon to Sunday noon. Johnson said he failed to see anything of the forest ranger and his crew of volunteers reported to have been recruited at Olive Saturday afternoon. Because of the high thermometer, it was terribly hot fighting the fire. Johnson and Robinson stopped the main part of the fire by starting a back fire about 500 yards in advance beginning at a cattle trail in the bottom of the canyon. The side fires burned out of their own accord, said Johnson. Considerable fencing was destroyed and several groves of oaks were damaged, the tops of a number of trees burned out. However, the principal loss is to pasture which Johnson estimates at $3000 to $4000. There are now 300 head of cattle on the Bixby range, abut half of which was saved. It had been planned to put several hundred head additional on the range within a few weeks. This cannot be done now. E. Carrillo reported that with the help of a large number of volunteers flames which threatened his ranch house were extinguished about 5 p.m. Saturday. He lost considerable fencing.

MERCURY IS IN RECORD HIGH JUMP Too Early to Determine Damage to Walnuts, Say Growers The mercury broke long standing records for the running high jump, according to reports from various weather observers thruout the country. The city thermometer at the power house touched 102½ at 2 p.m. Sunday, the hottest of the season. This is a jump from 57 degrees early Sunday morning. The minimum this morning was 58. The maximum Saturday was 99 at 2 p.m. According to E. E. Campbell, U.S. weather bureau representative at Orange, yesterday with the mercury at 106 between 1 and 2 p.m. was the hottest since Sept. 17, 1913 when it was 109 with a hot wind. Campbell's thermometer registered 103 at 1 p.m. Saturday. It was 58 at 6 a.m. Sunday and 57 at the same hour today. Walnut men say it will be several days before it can be determined what damage if any has been done to walnuts. J. J. Dwyer, vice-president of the Anaheim Walnut Growers Asan, after inspecting some of his trees today, noted a considerable number of burned nuts but he thinks this result is from the previous hot spell. He thinks it is to early to determine what damage has been done last three days.
