ELKS SEEK REVENGE AGAINST SAILORS Keen for revenge, Anaheim Elks will stack up against the fast Pacific fleet baseball aggregation of the U.S. S. New York again Sunday afternoon at Anaheim H. S. field. The gobs put it all over the locals last Sunday, to say the least, and the landlubbers are intent on demonstrating it can't be done again. Ramage will be back at first and Hawkins, who played the initial sack last Sunday, will be transferred to the outfield. Hughes has been working out this week and with a good night's sleep before the Sunday afternoon pastime figures to show the sailors where they get off. On top of the fact Howling Harry hadn't pitched for several weeks, he went into the box last Sunday after working all night. He was gratified that the old soreness did not develop in his chucking arm, that it was merely a case of being tired out. Lt. J. B. Cooke, manager of the gobs, will be on deck here Sunday, Waite, the speedy gob flinger, will again be in the box. Altho the home boys got only one safety off his creditable delivery last Sunday, a two-bagger by Captain Buster Callan, they were beginning to tap the ball rather frequently toward the last of the game. LITTLE MOTORS FAIL IN 500-MILE RACE INDIANAPOLIS, May 31.—The little fellows couldn't do it. The waist high, midget motored speed creations with 122 inches piston displacement, were tried and found wanting in the judgment of automobile engineers today after considering the time and results of the annual 500 mile race here today. The time for the distance, however, was the fastest in the history of the course with the exception of the record hung up in 1922 by Jimmy Murphy with a larger motor.

HEYING'S PHARM "On the Corner" It Pleases Us To Please You THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. INTEREST SLACK IN SATURDAY BATTLE By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 31.—According to Broadway sharpshooters, the Kilbane-Criqul bout at the Polo Ground Saturday afternoon will be attended by gentlemen of the press and ushers. The hour is young and many of the innocents can still advance upon the box office, cash in hand. However, there is no doubt that tickets are not selling with the rapidity Tom O'Rourke might desire. The field, O'Rourke declares, will have accommodations for 60,000 but at prices ranging from $10 to $25, the attraction will hardly call out a capacity crowd. The fact that the bout follows so closely upon the spendthrift heels of a holiday is one thing that argues against a sell-out. Another is that Kilbane and Criqul have been in such wonderful condition for two weeks, that little activity and consequently little news, has developed at the two camps. Lack of adequate publicity undoubtedly has hurt the early sale of tickets. Their price is another item. Perhaps in addition to the other liabilities mentioned, the fans are just a bit suspicious of Criqul's ability. Carpentier's misfit showing against Dempsey has reflected to some extent on all foreign boxers and we presume that Criqul is no exception. TAGGING ALL THE BASES Lock the door and throw the key away. The Phillies won another doubleheader from the Braves, 5 to 3 and 6 to 1. The Hon. Babe Ruth treated himself to home runs in each of the victories scored by the Yankees over the Senators, Scores 6 to 4 and 9 to 5. His total for the season is now 11. A ninth inning rally at the expense of Vangilder saved the Tigers a double defeat at the hands of the Browns, who won the morning affair 10 to 2. The rally gave the Tigers the after-night decision 4 to 3. FINISH SURVEY OF 200 CITRUS GROVES Prof. R. S. Valle, Farm Management Division of the Experiment Station, co-operating with the Farm Advisor's office and Farm Bureau has recently completed a citrus survey of some 200 Orange County groves. The object of the survey was to determine what practice of orchard management, particularly irrigation and fertilizations, were conducive to the best citrus production. Six weeks were spent compiling data from the better groves of the county. An analysis of these records is now being made by the orchard management division of the Experiment Station, together with records from Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. By means of charts, Professor Valle will present his findings at the Annual Southern California Citrus Institute which will be held at Fullerton on June 15th and 16th. This will be one of the important features of the Institute. No grower should fail to hear this report.

After the Dodgers had continued their winning streak by taking the Giants in the first game, 5 to 2, the Giants cane back in the afternoon, chased Dickerman off the preamble and won 9 to 6. Forty-five thousand, the largest crowd ever to see a game at the Polo Grounds, witnessed the afternoon contest. The pennant bee, buzzing merrily in Philadelphia, broke a wing when the Athletics slugged off a pair to the Red Sox, 6 to 5, and 1 to 2. DRIVE TO IMPROVE LIMA BEAN SEED The Agricultural Extension Service has initiated another move for improved agricultural efficiency in Orange County. A long felt need for better lima bean seed will soon be satisfied through the establishment of seed selection plots at Greenville, Garden Grove and Smelitzer. Heretofore, many growers have looked to sections outside of Orange County for their supply of good beans, oftentimes meeting disappointment the first year for it generally takes a year for new seed to become acclimated to local conditions. There is no logical reason why the best seed beans cannot be produced locally, if proper cultural and moisture conditions are provided. With this in mind, seven growers are co-operating with the Agricultural Extension Service in an effort to create a supply of high producing seed plants during the next three or four years. During the season the seed plots will be visited by the Farm Advisor and the grower. The most thrifty and prolific plants will be selected and marked. At harvest these plants will be threshed separately and the beans therefrom used next year. The process of selection will be continued for three generations after which time, a quantity of seed will be obtained with true and fixed characteristics. This will be a nucleus to seed requirements of bean growers in Orange County. GRAIN MARKET STRONG CHICAGO, May 31—The market was strong, with the exception of May oats and May wheat.
