GIBBONS WILL BE IN FINE CONDITION By DAVIS J. WALSH L. N. S. Sports Editor SHELBY, Mont., June 20—He may fall, financially and physically to wrest the elusive greenback from Shelby's depleted resources and the heavyweight title from Jack Dempsey July 4. He may even be fanned for the total ten, but whatever may happen to Tom Gibbons on the afternoon in question, his effort must go down on the books as that of a man trained to the split second. Gibbons is and will be as physically fit as human flesh can hope to be. He is at once the mystery and the pride of this forsaken town, white alternately chokes in clouds of dust and wallows in mire, ankle deep, as it attempts to laugh off the dream plan that caused it to bid for the championship bout. Gibbons is the pride, because as man, he is one of the most popular individuals this side of the Mississippi. He is the mystery because a fighter no human eye can forecast whether he will be able to stand up under the socking that Dempsey is diaposed to visit upon his victims. Shelby would be pleased to know just how Gibbons' perfectly attune anatomy will react to the Dempsey attack. It is more than casually interested in view of the fact that it would like to take some of the short end money, if it could only be certain that bucks tossed upon the waters will return after several days. It has had an ample sufficiency of gambling on long shots, such as promoting prize flights for the sake of showing the country at large what a Montana sport will do when his soul craves action. The fight, local men assure us, was not promoted with the idea of selling oil stocks. It was promoted without any idea at all. Apparently the boys just happened to feel affluent on one of those evenings. The town is pro-Gibbons to the point of being downright zealous about it, but the interest in the challenger to date has been purely sentimental. Baseball Standings PACIFIC CCOAST LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

The Greens won the odd game from the Lemons, one-pin deciding the issue. In the other match the Whites won three out of five from the Oranges, who were not quite ripe for picking. This week's shooting gives the Blacks a three-game lead. Next week each team will roll two nights and complete the schedule. Five teams have a good chance to finish first.

WESTERN OARSMEN ARE DARK HORSES POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 20—All eyes turned to the husky oarsmen here from Washington today, as varsity, junior and freshmen crews went their shells down the Hudson in trial heats for the intercollegiate regatta on June 28. The westerners are the "dark horses." Cornell's crews arrived and were to be out on the river this afternoon. The navy crew will not arrive before Saturday. BETS ON WILLARD NEW YORK, June 20—Vanquished paid tribute to victor here today. Floyd Johnson, who fell beneath blows of Jess Willard in their meeting last month, wagered $5000 that the Kansas giant will flatten Luis Pirpo when the two meet in Jersey City July 12. "I met Willard—I know," said Johnson. ANAHEIM BOOK STORE Books and Stationery 228 E. Center St. Phone 386 Anaheim ORANGE COMMUNITY COMPANY SEEKS OIL On 390 acres of the most valuable citrus land ever "spudded in" on the Orange Community Oil Ass'n, controlled entirely by ranching interests, today was rushing preparations to sent a drill downward in search of "black gold." The company is headed by substantial business men and citrus growers of the Orange district, including M. Elistre, president, H. A. Brown, vice president, J. L. Cole, secretary, F. F. King, treasurer, and John H. Robertson, E. M. The property where drilling operations will soon get under way lies north of Orange, bounded on the east and west by Tustin avenue and Baratta street, and on the north and south by Collins and Walnut-avea. The history of the local oil association dates back to last Thanksgiving when Robertson, geologist who assisted by F. F. King, local rancher, launched the oil venture, visited in this city with the W. G. Suffern family. After dinner the conversation incidentally drifted to oil where at Robertson who is a mining engineer was asked whether he knew anything about oil geology. Replying that a mining engineer must be vested in this subject, Robertson was soon engrossed in a heart to heart talk on oil matters with his guest which climax when at the latter's installation they visited Steve Clark, Collins-ave ranch, who was in possession of an oil geology map. This map, drawn over 20 years ago by a geologist named Woods, known among his fellowmen as being a trifle eccentric, indicated the territory which since that time has developed into rich oil lands, including the famous fields of Montebello, Signal Hill, Huntington Beach, Santa Fe Springs, Whittier, Richfield, Pullerton and Torrance. Each individual field was designated upon the may by Woods, unnamed naturally at that time. Also, clearly indicated on the inside of the book is the title "THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF." This map, drawn over 30 years ago by a geologist named Woods, known among his fellows as being a trifle eccentric, indicated the territory which since that time has developed into rich oil lands, including the famous fields of Montebello, Signal Hill, Huntington Beach, Santa Fe Springs, Whittier, Richfield, Pullerton and Torrance. Each individual field was designated upon the may by Woods, unnamed naturally at that time. Also, clearly indicated on the instrument, was the territory which now represents the Orange district. In every instance but the latter liquid gold has been struck in the years that followed. The local field which 30 years ago was visited by this eccentric oil geologist who, it is said, traveled for weeks and weeks on mule back packing sufficient supplies to last him on his prolonged journeys, is now about to receive the test which has subsequently prove and developed the other spots indicated on the map. Not basing their venture altogether up this many, however, the company which has since been formed by Robertson has called in four geologists, who, independently, have made favorable reports on the property. Their report in part, according to officials, reads, "The Orange Community Oil association's territory is on what is known as a 'level axis anticline,' one of the most favorable known structures for the accumulation of oil and gas. NARROW ESCAPE IN CATALINA ACCIDEN (By International News Service) AVALON, Catalina Island, Calif., June 28—Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Ellard, M.D., A. Lehman and Otto Lehman were being congratulated here today on their narrow escape when their motor boat, becoming unmanageable in a heavy sea, was dashed against a rock at the mouth of Silver Canyon. The carty chartered a boat, planning an excursion about the island When off Seal Rocks something went with the motor and the boat fell into the trough of the sea which was running very high. For hours the men struggled to keep the little boat heading into the swells. Finally the tide carried the boat into the mouth of Silver Canyon and the inshore rush of water swept it against a rock. The occupants were thrown into the water, but managed to reacrease the shore, where they remained until rescued by boats from Avalon. S H U R T - O N S T.
