LANKERSHIM WILL PLAY HERE SUNDAY Lankershim will furnish the opposition for Anaheim Elks at the local high school field Sunday afternoon. Lankershim is making a fine record in the first division of the San Fernando Valley League. Managed by I. L. Merchant, well known as a sportman over Southern California, the team is considered among the top notchers. "We are lucky that Lankershim has a bye in its league schedule on Sunday and we are able to bring these stars here for a meeting", said Manager Pete Hax of the Elks. There was consternation among local fans today when it was learned that Doty Bush, Anaheim's crack second-sacker, was considering an offer from the Union Oil Co., at Santa Fe Springs. Coffman was made a similar offer. Bush promised to announce his decision to Manager Hax tonight. On top of the possible loss of talent Ray Bush, who has been holding down the third base position, is convalescing at Murietta Hot Springs from a severe cold which kept him out of the game last Sunday. Manager Hax hopes he will be back next Sunday. The opening of the Elks league has been delayed again. At first it had been planned to open much earlier than last year but a dearth of teams in the southland does not make it necessary to start so early as last season. It now appears there will be only five teams in Southern California—Anaheim, Pasadena, Venture, Monrovia and Riverside. Last year there were two southern divisions. The doarth of teams is said to be due to the fact that the annual state convention of Elks, where the finals are played off, will be in the far northern city of Eureka. To send a team theme would be a costly proposition. Another important reason is the well-known fighting capacities of the Anaheim team in an Elks league race. SCHNEIDER'S MARKET DEFEATS BAPTISTS By putting across one run in the last inning, the Schneider's Market team defeated the Baptist church team 19 to 18 in the indoor baseball game played last night on the Anaheim Y. M. C. A. field on South Philadelphia street. The Baptists did their heaviest scoring in the first and fifth innings, making seven and eight runs respectively, while the Schneiders team kept raising the count each inning. Both pitchers were hit freely, each team registering 22 hits. Baptist AB R H Simon, e 4 2 2 Hickey, p 5 3 3 Foster, 1b 5 2 2 McKinney, L. 2b 5 3 3 McKinney 3b 5 3 2 Barker, ls 4 1 2 Dickerson R.

McCarthy, president of the Pacific Coast League, claimed a victory today in the order of Federal Judge James requiring William Wrigley, Jr., owner of the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles club, to answer a questionnaire prepared by the coast league president inquiring into Wrigley's alleged connection with the deal whereby the Seattle club was sold. The order also directs Wade Killifer, Charles Lockard, John J. Sullivan, Joseph H. Patrick and others to answer the quiz as well as requiring telegraph companies to produce messages alleged to have passed regarding the financing of the deal. "I mean to get to the bottom of the syndicate baseball charges" McCarthy declared today. It is a rare conscience that will come out of hiding and bark furiously when there is a profit in sight.

This is the first shoot in two weeks and a good crowd is expected. GIBBONS MAKING HIKES OF 16 MILES SHELBY, Mont., June 8.—No boxing will be done by Tom Gibbons before Sunday in his coming preparation for the greatest battle of his career—with world's heaviest champion Jack Dempsey, here on July 4. The St. Paul challenger declared today he is feeling so fit he will need very little conditioning. Meanwhile he is taking it easy and viewing the sights around Shelby. A great deal of road work is being taken by the big Minnesota. A 16 mile hike was one of his stunts and today he planned to be practically the same amount of road pounding. LOS NIETOS PLAYS RICHFIELD SUNDAY BROADWAY RAZZES BENNY LEONARD In. N. S. Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 8.—Broadway and its habitues have turned thumbs down on Benny Leonard, the esteemed champion, following his rather dubious performance against Pinkey Mitchell and the subsequent testimony of men who witnessed the affair. Leonard, they aver, is absolutely thru and they declare the first contest with a punch, will "take him" like a suicide takes poison. This is an old story that has been exhumed many times in the last several years, yet the existing reports have a very plausible ring, for example, Pal Moore, the bantamweight, declares Leonard boxed like a wooden man against Mitchell and would have been easy for Charlie White or Lew Tendler on the night in the question. Pal's opinion, is intirely disinterested. Reviews off the fight written by Schinner, Smith, Sam Levy and other western fight experts, agree that Mitchell acted the part of the champion and Leonard the confirmed second runner. Leonard, they said, was so badly outboxed that he confined all of his attention to trying for a one-punch knockout. This tendency usually the hall mark of the losing fighter. The seemingly permanent retrogression in Leonard in his loss of speed. Gone is the dazzling footwork, the change of pace and the ability to feint an opponent silly. Instead, he now stands back on his flat feet and places all reliance in his punch. The change in styles has brought Leonard, a great champion, down to the level of many challengers and the punishment he has taken in last 12 months is hardly comparable with his reputation. WEST VIRGINIANS PICNIC All who ever lived in West Virginia are invited to a great picnic here. Tagging All the Bases The Noble Giants dropped their first series of the campaign when they lost to "Hack" Miller, Charley Hollocher and the Cubs, in toto, 9 to 7. Miller's homer in the seventh tied the score and his double in the eighth won the game while Hollocher obliged with five hits. Meusel smote two home runs. Smith's single and Blade's triple proposed the only runs of a 10 innings pitching classic, involving Jeff Pfeffer and Jimmy Ring, the Cardinals ncing in, 1 to 0. The Reds concluded their own cleanup week by taking the final game from the Braves 3 to 1, Rixey outpitching Oeschger. The Senators indulged in an orgy of hitting at the expense of Pillett and Collins and won on the bit from the Tigers, 16 to 4. The Indians made six hits and as many errors and assisted by the pitching of Ehmke and the fielding of Fewster and Collins, found no trouble in losing to the Red Sox 7 to 1. SCOUT BASEBALL TEAMS WILL PLAY Troop 2, Boy Scouts of St. Catharine's school, will meet Troop 2 tomorrow on the high school grounds for the baseball second place championship. The game starts at 2 o'clock and everybody is invited. There is no admission charge. John Escavado is captain of the Troop 2 team, and with the assistance of George Russek, has been bringing the boys up to their present high standard by stiff training. The challenging team has been beaten only by the high school and a good game is expected. RUTH HITS TWELFTH (By International News Service) NEW YORK, June 8.—Babe Ruth hit his twelfth home run here this LOS NIETOS PLAYS RICHFIELD SUNDAY Richfield Spanish team will take on the fast Los Nietos team Sunday afternoon at Richfield. Vacramente, who "showed his stuff very satisfactorily last Sunday will probably start on the mound for Richfield, with Bleecker held in reserve. Castillo will do the receiving. ROTARIANS NEED MORE PRACTICE Baseball fans who went to Anaheim H.S. field last evening expecting to see a good game were sadly disappointed. The game between the business and professional women's club and the Rotarians was postponed until next Thursday. The girls say it was because the Rotarians wanted a longer chance to practice. Correct this sentence "Although she had won a beauty contest she was a great help to her mother at home." What the traveling men desire is a snubber that will take the bumps out of the small-town hotel mattress. When in need advertise in the Plain Dealer. Fred H.
