THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF.
PAJAMA CLAD BOYS FELL THUG
LEOIT, Wis., April 24.—Two negro bandits made the midtake of holding up David Wilson of Blue Island, Ill., in front of his fraternity house and trying to make away with his wealth, amounting to 27 cents. The robbers had barely covered two blocks when they were overtaken by a pose of pajama-clab Beloit college students who had come to the rescue of their companion.
Facing the fire of a 32-caller revolver held by one of the stick-up men, three of the students advanced, and, while Carl Beerwald of Milwaukee argued with him, Robert Irvine of New York attacked him from the rear and Teddy Schroth came in on the flank and downed him with a well-aimed blow on the head with a two-by-four. After recovering the 27 cents from him, the bad man was turned over to the police. The other bandit escaped, but was taken into custody the following day in Rockford.
"That's the spirit that won the war," said the Rockford chief of police, who is an ex-service man.
NET SQUADS WIN
Coach L. E. Sutherland's tennis squads took everything in sight yesterday when the girls defeated Norwalk and the boys Orange in a spirited contest.
Miss Boege had the hardest time to defeat her opponent. She had to play nine games to win the first set and seven in the second.
The girl's stars:
Margaret Loranger (A) 6-2 and 6-0 over V. Archer.
Catherine Boege (A) 9-7 and 7-5 over F. Lee French.
Doubles, Inez Morris and Margaret Loranger (A), 7-5 and 6-0 over Archer and Voorhees.
Doubles-Kathryn Adams and Margaret Bradley (A), 8-6, 2-6
SARGUM PROUTINGS
Los Angeles won the extra game on Vernon last week and the Angel outfield was mainly responsible. This outfield is about the beat assembled for years. It packed a big wallop and Krug received good pitching the latter part of the week. If the Angel infield was up to standard there would be nothing to the flag chase.
At that, the first and third base positions look to be well taken care of. Jacobs is fielding well and is hitting sensationally. He lacks the polish of Charley Deal, but he will acquire that rapidly if he keeps his nose to the grindstone and the swell head away. Golvin is a wonder in the fielding line and he has been hitting well so far. If he was a .300 batter he would be worth a young fortune. The Angel second base combination seems to have the natural ability but is locking on team play. The boys do not seem to know what is expected of them. They hesitate on plays that they should execute in the twinkling of an eye.
Root surely looks the part of a pitcher. He had Vernon's kids calling him daddy Sunday. He is husky enough to stand a lot of work and he works with ease. "Doe" Crandall was right in the last game. He made monkeys of the Vernon crew.
Vernon has a good club, one that will make any team in the league hustle to beat. Jimmy McDowell did not look very good Sunday. He was weak at bat and looked dumb several times in the field. Rod Murphey gunned several plays around second. He appeared to be trying to play the infield and out to. Charley Deal is playing big league ball at third. He looks to be in a class by him.
VETERANS TURNS TO WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, April 21 eyes of 4,000,000 war wives turned toward the House today anxiously as President Coolidge's decision the new soldiers bonus bill.
For the second time she has gone on record in favor bonus, and again a preseto booms as a possibility.

Our Mr. Ruth emerged from the depths yesterday and socked a single, double and a homer, his second of the season, during the Yankee's 13 to 4 rout of Howard Ehmke and the Red Sox. Previous to his outburst, our hero had gone to the plate on ten consecutive occasions without getting a hit.
The Cubs made merry at the expense of the St. Louis Cardinals and won as they pleased, 12 to 1. Pfeffer pitched the first two innings and they were a great plenty.
Not wishing to prolong the agony beyond the bounds of human endurance. Dave Bancroft, new Brave manager, made a personal matter of defeating the Phillies Dave's single was the third of the inning off Couch.
Speaker's double with two on brot the Indians from behind in the tenth to a six to five decision over the Tigers. The tribe also came up from the rear to score in the ninth after two were extinct.
The Browns won a free-for-all from the White Sox, 9 to 5, clubbing Laverette with consistency and enthusiasm. Pruett had one caro-worn inning, the fifth, in which the Sox scored all of their runs.
Held scoreless for six innings, the Athletics fell upon Speece in the seventh, drove in six runs and beat the sensuous 6 in 4.
The pineal gland is the remnant of a third eye.

VETERANS TURN TO WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, April 24.—The area of 4,000,000 war veterans were turned toward the White House today anxiously awaiting President Coolidge's decision on the new soldiers bonus bill.
For the second time congress was gone on record in favor of the bonus, and again a presidential to booms as a possibility.
During the closing hours of the bonus debate in the senate howeer, reports were circulated that the president was not prepared to to the paid up insurance plan, circulated in the new bill, while he would reject a straight cash bonus without hesitation.
It was the cash bonus that President Harding vetoed in 1921 and it was with this bill in mind that President Coolidge told congress at the beginning of his administration that he was not in favor of a bonus.
In view of the large majorities called up for the bonus in both the house and senate, there is every expectation that the bill is destined to become a law regardless of the action of the president.
The vote in the house was 4 to 1 for the bonus, while the 69 votes on the Senate for the bill constitute a margin sufficient to over-the-cost of the cash bonus bill voted by President Harding was estimated at $5,000,000,000, while the Senate finance committee puts the cost of the insurance plan at little more than $2,000,000,000 distributed over a period of twenty-years.
