BILL'S CINCH CITY PIN LEAGUE TITLE Bills Cafe cinched the City League championship last night when they won two out of three from the Toyland Baby Dolls due to some tall shooting by Larrison who rolled 258 in his first game and totaled 629. In the other match, O'Donnell's Victory Cords won the odd game from the cellar champa, Whittier No. 2. Captain O'Donnell shot 233 and 598 for the best scores of this match. Tonight the Anaheim alley team will finish the Interurban League season at San Pedro, the local team have a four game lead and cannot lose the league title.

Staff Correspondent) LOS ANGELES, April 4.—Vernon finished second last year and we have strengthened the club this season. One of the important changes in the club is the placing of Rod Murphy at first base. The addition of Murphy gives the Tigers more speed on the bases and also bolsters up the defense. I also believe Murphy will be among the .300 hitters when the season closes. We will open the season with Gorman at second base. He was "farmed" to the Des Moines club in the Western League last season and is greatly illustriated. When "wildcat" he back after young Mr. heart" and to come back looking cool battle.

Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, April 4.—With the American League inaugural two weeks in the offing, the Yankees and Browns, the "One-two" clubs of 1922, are making fevered attempts to swing deals that will strengthen their respective infields, now a bit baggy at the knees. The Yanks are weak in secondary infield defense, and with Everett Scott giving evidence of having turned slightly sour at shortstop, it is said that Elmer Smith, extra outfielder, is going on a long journey in payment for the mat. The Yanks are seeking. The Browns must have a first baseman to fill in until Sisler recovers his health, which may be next month or next year. They have made unproductive efforts to hire George Burns away from the Red Sox, but apparently are not willing to pay the price. At that Fohl would not be justified in weakening other positions just for a few months of Burns' society. He cannot hope to take Sisler's place anyhow. No one can. At first blush, the plight of the Yanks is not so desperate, yet Huggins realizes that if Scott fails to come around or if one of his infielders pulls up lame, dangerous complications will set in. He did not develop a single prospect among his recruits at New Orleans and Mike McNally, who is just a good minor Jaguar, is the only extra infielder who can appear in an American league box score without unseemly consequences. Huggins, however, lays claim to seven outfielders and plans to use at least two of them in the trade he is said to have in mind. LOS ANGELES, April 4.—Vernon finished second last year and we have strengthened the club this season. One of the important changes in the club is the placing of Rod Murphy at first base. The addition of Murphy gives the Tigers more speed on the bases and also bolsters up the defense. I also believe Murphy will be among the .300 hitters when the season closes. We will open the season with Gorman at second base. He was "farmed" to the Des Moines club in the Western League last season and is greatly improved. Carl Sawyer, who started at second base for us last year, still is with the club. Several of the youngsters, notably Matt Bott and Neal Finn, look good around the infield. Where we had to depend upon Rolly Zcider as the utility infielder last season we have considerable more reserve strength. Ray French will be back at short and "Red" Smith at third base. Ping Bodie did not get away to a good start last season as he was not eligible to play until the middle of May. This year he is in condition as a result of training with the rest of the players. Bodies, High, Chadbourne and Schneider are the regular outfielders while Perry O'Brien and Vern Blenkiron are the youngsters who look good. "Truck" Hannah and Denny Murphy are the catchers who will do the bulk of the work. Zeenie also is working hard. The pitching staff, one of the main reasons why the club finished second last year, looks good. Jakle May, "Wheeze" Dell, Jim Jolly, Bill James, Ray Gilder and Jess Doyle were with the club last year and they look good this year. The pitchers have not come through as fast as I expected but they are just about ready to start the season. Several of the young twirlers, Jacobs, Minery and Trautwein have looked good. I believe our infield was considerably stronger than last year and that the outfield will show more strength. We are just as strong behind the plate and I also believe that pitching staff will do as good work. Greater Anaheim Straight Ahead! Greater Anaheim Straight Ahead! New evidence of the progressiveness of Anaheim residents is shown in the building permits for March, which totaled $194,165—a gain of $43,370 over last month's report. Behind every building planned or constructed is a faith in the future of this community—the greatest asset any city can claim. This bank is not only in accord with the forward spirit of Anaheim, but has helped make possible the new homes in this community. We are growing with Anaheim. Are you growing with us?

The next ILLUSTRATION OF “FIGHTING HEART” When “Vicious Victor” Alexander, knocked Jack Austin, Huntington Beach heavyweight, thru the ropes, and into the arms of a ring-side spectator half the house got up and started to leave thinking it was “goodnight”. There wasn’t a person in the house who gave Austin a chance to come back after that awful wallop. But young Mr. Martin has a “fighting heart” and heart alone enabled him to come back and give the vicious looked colored boy a whale of a battle. In spite of the fact that Alexander had three knockdowns to his credit he could not put the white boy away for keeps. Austin coming strong at the finish and had the big colored boy tire and swinging wildly. It was an exciting affair and went over big with the fans. Little Art Springer won all the way from Young Al Kaufman but Al made Art work every minute. Kaufman was making his first appearance in the four round game in California.

Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, April 4.—The National League situation has changed about as much as the undertaker’s smile since October. The Giants were too much for the rest at that time, and they are believed to have taken or additional strength while other clubs have improved slightly if at all. The Giants figure to cake-walk down to the wire for their third successive pennant. They are assured of sounder, most consistent pitching because Scott and McQuillan art available for the entire season and Jack Bentley is regarded as able to deliver $65,000 worth of left hand pitching; Heinle Groh, out of many games with a demountable knee, is whole again, and finally the addition of Jimmy O’Connell, the interrogation point. Once an inquiry is pursued beyond the Giants, however, complications set in. The rest of the field is very nicely balanced and a possible seventh place club today may be running second in September. The Reds are generally picked as the main contenders and they are as good as any; no better, however. It is our impersonal opinion the young gentlemen playing ball for Pat Moran last year were just a bit beyond themselves. Daubert had a great year but doesn’t figure to repeat, what with illness and middle age; the pitching lacks the consistency of championship baseball, and the fact that Rough is out again may hurt immensurably. Roush can be a great help or hindrance to the club, as he chooses. The Pirates haven’t the pitching they had a year ago, nor is George Gibson the man to develop and steady the staff. Otherwise they are the same ball club, plus the slugging Red Russel, near champions only. As for the Cubs, they have a lot of young pitchers who may either go over big or not at all. In addition, they are a slow ball club and their infield defense is open to suspicion. 28 CASABA TEAMS IN TOURNEY TODAY (L. N. S.

Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, April 4 — Developments of the last 24 hours indicate an early return to affairs of the first by Benny Leonard, prominent actor and cafe proprietor. Business is very, very bad, just now as far as Benny's multifarious interests are concerned and is becoming steadily worse. Flaunting a carefree toe before the footlights had ceased to be a lucrative occupation and now the "infernal" revenue agents are threatening to Hi Myers fills a hole in the outfield and Fred Toney may improve the pitching but not enough to carry a weak staff. The Cords have ceased to be serious contenders since last August. A general house cleaning has set in with the Dodgers and a berth near the second division should be theirs, particularly with the kind of pitching they can muster. They will have pitchers as long as your Uncle Robbie remains with the club. Phillies and Braves are probably slightly improved outfits but irremediable weaknesses seem to consist them to the second division definitely. The Phillies have no pitching, the Braves very little and neither is sufficiently endowed to face this handcap. Falkenstein's Tomorrow, Thursday REMNANT DAY PRESENTING HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF SHORT LENGTH WOOLENS—INCLUDING MATERIALS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION From 1/4 to 1/2 Come Early for Best FALKENSTEIN'S, ... ANNUAL HILL CLIMB BIGGER THAN EVER The Capistrano hill climbs, greatest spring sport event, will take place Sunday and, according to members of the Orange-co Motorcycle club, will be the greatest ever held. More interest than ever before is being manifested and if Sunday breaks with a clear day, past records are to be slashed. Members of the club made a visit to the precipitous slope Sunday and measured off the track for the events. The trail is being fenced in to ensure the safety of spectators. Among motorcycle riders who compete are Paul Anderson and Eddie Ryan, the latter from Colorado Springs. Both will drive Excelsiora. It has not been learned definitely whether or not Welk Bannet, the Colorado boy who made such a blast last year, will be in harness again or not. Lloyd Healton, Anaheim boy now living in Santa Ana, will be among the riders. One of the qualifications of the event is that the rider must weigh at least 132 pounds with ballast. Sunday's event will mark the eighth annual climb. In the event it rains the climb will be postponed one week. BODIES IN CRATER (By International News Service) HONOLULU, April 4.—Bodies of two Japanese boys, Tagaera, 18 and Arai, 21, members of a hiking party lost on the slopes of Haleakala volcano three days ago, were found by a searching party half a mile below the summit.
