HORNSBY ALREADY NEW YORK GIANT By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Rogers Hornsby is already a member of the New York Giants, if semi-official reports wafted about today, can be believed. "Hornsby has been traded here by the Cardinals, it is said, in one of those trigangular transactions for which John McGraw was famous in other years, the Chicago Cubs being the other club involved. Giant officials would neither deny nor affirm the report, but it was whispered that confirmation is being held in abeyance pending McGraw's return from Europe. Details of the deal, if any, are just a bit vague at this time, but it is certain that the first step was the acquisition by McGraw of Charley Hollocher from the Cubs for Billy Southworth, the new outfielder, a pitcher, possibly Bill Ryan, and another infield, identity not disclosed. Hollocher then was used, as the story goes, as bait for the Hornsby deal with the Cardinals. Just what McGraw might have to offer for Hornsby by the time he got through trading himself silly over Hollocher, is not made clear. He has said, however, that he would part with any man on the ball club, with the exception of Frank Prisch, Ross Young and Travis Jackson. This means that McGraw, in making the alleged deal, had the following trading material to play around with: Emil Meusel, Jimmy O'Connell and Bill Southworth, outfielders; Helne Groh and George Kelly, infielders; Hank Gowdy and Frank Snyder, catchers, and Art Nehf, Joe Ogschger, John Watson and John Scott, pitchers, to say nothing of Jack Beniley, composite first baseman, pinch hitter and left-handed pitcher. There may have been sufficient talent there, plus Hollocher, to lure Hornsby from the Cardinals. Orange-co. News A warning was broadcast on Tuesday by Santa Ana police to motorists that a car accessorer thief was operating in the vicinity. Several reports have been received the last few days of the loss of spotlights and other parts. Police over the county have been asked to watch for Margaline Luna, 16, and Ben Ruiz, believed to be intent on being married, by attaches of the County Juvenile Home. Dr. E. Johnston, 219 Spurgeon ave., Santa Ana, has offered a $25 reward for the arrest and conviction of the man who stole a 32-20 cal. revolver from his car. Announcement of prices for the Navy-Pacific Coast game at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, are $1.65, $2.75, $3.30, $5.50 and $6.60. A committee will meet Wednesday on the matter of sending a float from Santa Ana to the Tournament of Roses. Reports were made to Santa Ana police that attempts were made to enter the houses of Joe Davis, 1006 W. Third st., and F. C. Blauer, 1315 Spurgeon ave. The Santa Ana pass-key robber is suspected of the attempts. Santa Ana police have been asked to be on the outlook for Marjorie Fanning, 15, of Whittier, believed to have run away with Arthur J. Eaton, also of Whittier. The couple, the report said, were headed for Santa Ana to get a marriage license. A large flock of chickens and turkeys, along with a number of prize Belgian hares, were reported stolen from the chicken yard of E. L. House, 715 Sullivan st., Santa Ana. J. T. Osborne is in Community hospital, Santa Ana, recovering from the results of a fall from a motor truck near Fourth st. and French ave., Monday afternoon. Osborne suffered a fractured skull and several other bruises when he fell from the truck onto MURDER SUSPECT “BREAKS DOWN” LCS ANGELES, Nov. 27.—Eliward II. Carleton, charged with the murder of Robert McGuoe, special policeman, “broke” in superior court here today when he entered a plea of not guilty to the grand jury indictment charging him with the slaying. Shame-faced, on the verge of collapse and with a super effort, Carleton choked back the tears and asserted his innocence to the crime. Jeanne Carleton, bride of the bandit, was in court also and burst into hysterics when her husband weakened. Attorneys for Mrs. Carleton asked until Friday to plead to the charge accusing her jointly with her husband of the murder. The request was granted by the court. Deputy District Attorney Hill announced the state will demand a joint trial of both Carleton and his wife. Judge Avery will decide next Friday morning whether or not they will be tried together and the date of their trials. —Shop Early— HIRAM IN OPENING SPEECH TONIGHT WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California, formally opens the pre-convention campaign of 1924 with a speech in Chicago tonight in which he will present a comprehensive outline of the issues on which he proposes to seek the Republican nomination next June. One week from today, unless a little group of militant progressives decide otherwise by blocking organization of the new Congress, President Coolidge will present the country with an equally comprehensive outline of the principles upon which he proposes to succeed himself in the White House. The presidential handicap can then be said to be in full swing for a six months’ steady run, with following trading material to play around with: Emil Meusel, Jimmy O'Connell and Bill Southworth, outfielders; Heine Groh and George Kelly, infielders; Hank Gowdy and Frank Snyder, catchers, and Art Nehl, Bill Ryan; Hugh McQuillan, Joe Oeschger, John Watson and John Scott, pitchers, to say nothing of Jack Bentley, composite first baseman, pinch hitter and left-handed pitcher. There may have been sufficient talent there, plus Hollocher, to lure Hornsby from the Cardinals. The latter need pitchers, but whether they have any interest in the particular type McGraw has at his disposal is something for the guessers to daily with. Bentley constitutes excellent trading balance and might have been included with Southworth, Ryan or Nehl somewhere in the alleged trade. Meusel, perforce, would be welcomed anywhere, and Kelly and Groh are still assets. But at this point we are venturing into the structural skeleton of the Giant machine. It is altogether likely that if any deal for Hornsby has been made, McGraw has not seen fit to wreck his ball club. Groh might be spared, but if Kelly has departed, McGraw must get a first baseman, and if Meusel and Southworth were used, two live ones for the outfield must have come here in return. Frankly, McGraw has less to trade at this moment than any time during his career as manager. BEARS EXPECTED TO DECIDE SOON BERKELEY, Nov. 27. — Some decision on the part of the Univ. of Calif., as to whether the institution of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses committee for the fliers to represent the west in the annual inter-sectional football game there New Year's day against the Navy will likely be reached tomorrow night at a meeting of the executive committee of the institution.

ARROWHEAD POST TO BE DISBANDED SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 27. — Failure of State Commander James Collins of the American Legion, to clear the Arrowhead disabled veterans' hospital of charges that drugs and liquor is freely used by inmates, today resulted in the stampeding from the American Legion of the Arrowhead Post. L. G. Cartwright, commander of the post, announced that on Dec. 15 members of the post will vote disbandment and inform Leton officials at Washington that the post no longer exists. The break from the Legion, which has for its members, inmates of the Arrowhead hospital, resulted in the receipt of a letter from State Commander Collins wherein he declared that a "certain basis for the charges exists," and he could not clear the post or hospital of the stigma.

O. P. REGULARS BACK CUMMINS WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Republican regulars in the senate today definitely decided to stand together behind Senator Albert B. Cumminis, of Iowa, for the presi­dency of the new senate. This decision, wholly unexpected and contrary to previous plans of administration leaders, was reached when Cumminis flatly told a delegation of republican chiefs, headed by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts that he would not voluntarily relinquish his post as president pro-tete of the senate or the chairmanship of the senate interstate commerce committee. Upon learning of the plans of the "regulars," the progressives, headed by Senator BrookKart, Republican of Iowa, called a meeting in Senator Borah's office late this afternoon to discuss plans for a fight on Cumminis. Thus the first split between the Republican "regulars" and the Republican "progressives" came about this afternoon, five days in advance of the meeting of congress. POSTPONE CONTEST BECAUSE OF WIND The girls' basketball game scheduled between Orange and Anaheim H. S. this afternoon was called off on account of the wind. Orange, not accustomed to an indoor court, refused to play, since the game would have consider­able bearing on the county title.

It is hoped that in another week Irma Young will be able to play, and then the Orange chances for a victory will be greatly lessened.

A formal opinion from the attorney-general that he has the power to pardon Craig; and 2. A formal application for such pardon, made by Craig's friends with his consent.

TRADE TO ORIENT GROWING RAPIDLY SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.—Enormous increase in trade with the Orient, Alaska and the western slope are bringing to a close one of the best business years in the far west, and hold promise of unusual activity in 1924, in the opinion of trust company officers from Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, gathered in conference here today. The meeting, said to be the first of its kind in trust company history, is held under the auspices of the American Bankers' Ass'n. New industries, more people higher wages and good crops are important factors on which the trust officials base their predictions for enormous gains in trade and business next year. "With more than 250,000 square miles of territory to draw from, and the outlet of the only water grade entrance on the Pacific, Portland is now coming into its own," Albert L. Grutze of Portland, told International News Service."Portland, the Boston of the Pacific, is most conservative, but this year's immense apple, wheat and salmon crops have pushed it forward in huge strides, and 1924 will see a wonderful business year for us." Los Angeles is experiencing a spectacular business, according to Marc Ryan, southern city banker, who said: "Business is wonderful. Mortgage loan companies are easing up a bit to curb wild speculation, but there is no serious setback in sight for Los Angeles. In fact, there is such an influx of people and money to Los Angeles that the city's crowded streets form a genuine problem." Tuesday, November 27, 1923 SPORT SNAP SHOTS BY JACK KEENE San Antonio is planning a big winter sports program and among the many activities will be winter baseball games. The nucleus of a league planned will be made of such well known diamond stars as Ross Young, Frank Snyder, Arthur Nehf and Claude Jonnard of the Giants. Western conference coaches and athletic directors will hold their annual meeting at Chicago on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. At that time baseball, football and track dates for 1924 will be mapped out, in addition to their plans for the ensuing year. Talk about the women coming into their own. Would it interest you any to know that Chicago women golfers are likely to soon boast of a golf course exclusively for the use of women? Yep, it's a fact, and it probably will be in operation early next year. It seems that the beautiful little city of Stockton, Calif., is going in strong for the boxing game. A new boxing club has just been organized and its members are building one of the classiest arenas in the country. Comptroller Louis Nolte of St. Louis proposes an amendment to the city ordinance creating a boxing commission. The Nolte amendment stipulates that in case of forfeiture, the city would automatically receive the forfeited purse. Dan O'Leary, the 83-year-old veteran and world's champion walker, is still doing stunts, and is at present in the west, having been pitted against two roller skaters at St. Louis recently. Since 1863, O'Leary has traveled 289,000 miles on foot and his walks have carried him over Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Australia, Canada and the United States. Probably no more historic football game is recorded in ancient or modern history than the battle between Yale and Princeton in 1873, when from "a forceful kick," according to old newspaper accounts, the ball burst and the game was delayed a half-hour while the sphere was repaired, it being the only one the teams had. The interval, it is recorded, was utilized by Princeton to lay a new plan of attack, and when play finally was resumed, the Tigers went out and gave Yale a lacing. Speaking of the home runs in the National league during the 1923 season, it may interest the baseball bugs to know that of the 537 made in the old league, 120 of them were registered over the left field fence at the Chicago Cubs' park. Did you know that there is a running horse called Babe Ruth, and that while he is not quite the star on the turf that his great namesake is on the diamond, still he is a fairly successful animal. Babe's most recent win was at the Marlboro track, near Baltimore, where the thoroughbreds are now in action. When the National Tennis association brings out its 1923 rankings of women net stars in December, you will find the name of Helen Willis, 17-year-old California wonder, topping the list. Her sensational defeat of Mrs. Mallory, which elevated her to stardom, was preceded by victories over such noted players as Miss Eleanor Goss, Miss Kathleen McKane, Mrs. Beamish, Mrs. Clayton and Mrs. Covell, the latter of England. GROWTH TOLD BY Death at 60 is never caused by old age. GROWTH TOLD BY NUMBER OF METERS Continued from Page One- "Now the office personnel has increased to fifteen men and women, there is a large amount of equipment in service and we have in operation just short of 18,000 meters. "The figures relative to the amount of gas delivered in the county monthly speak volumes also. Our monthly delivery of gas in 1915 was 27,542,029 cubic feet. By October, 1923, the delivery every thirty days had increased to 146,000,852 feet." Hayden emphasized the fact that his corporation continues even more than in the past to stress the giving of service. "In 1915," he said, "when as chief clerk it was no rare thing for me to have to set meters, it was the policy of serving the public that governed. If anything, this policy of giving service is even more paramount with us now than it was then. For instance, just recently we have instituted a policy of detailing a man for duty at the Anaheim office Sundays and holidays. Thus, our patrons have available at all times a man who can respond to such calls as are occasioned by a leaking gas connection, or similar emergencies."
