Mr. Perkins will not leave for the efete

This business is to secure a catcher for
what Mr.. Perkins terms "a local out-of-

more than that ordinarily received by a

more than repay the financial disparity.
So now it's up to the ball players. Any
body who knows how to adorn his frame
with a chest protector and hide his

NORTH SIDE ASKS FOR
THREE BIG IMPROVEMENTS

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, June 1s.-The north side

asked for three important concessions,
the laying of water mains in the north-
west part where there are none, the pur-
chase of Monk hill for public park,
and the re-establishing of the Lincoln
avenue grade, eliminating the Salt Lake
bridge.
The Lincoln Avenue Improvement asso-
cation was the body asking the addi-
ttonal water mains, and it is probable
that the North Pasadena Water company
will consent to this move, for 1T fears
that otherwise the city may order 1T to
take its mains off the streets.
The Improvement association also asked
that the grade of Lincoln avenue at the
Salt Lake crossing be elevated five feet
This would knock out the bridge. This
request was referred to the committee on

from Watery Grave While Try

LONG BEACH, June 18.-Adrift in a
heavy, .swamping sea for two hours in

a narrow escape from drowning yester-
day. A combination of circumstances
made his position exceedingly perilous.
With Olaf Nicholson. Shorty Ed
from San Pedro in a two horsepower
launch to tow a rowboat out to Michel
sons yacht. Creeth climbed into the
rowboat to tend the rudder.
When the end of the breakwater was
neared the sea became rougher' and
rougher and finally the cable joining
the rowboat to the launch parted as the
two boats rode the heavy swells. The
men in the launch attempted to put
about and go to Creeth's assistance,
but their engine became short-circuited
and they were unable to do SO. Seiz-.
ing the oars they rowed to the lee of
the breakwater, where they repaired the
engine, but as they started out toward
the drifting rowboat again the engine
broke down a second time and they
were delayed longer time than before.
In the meantime the heavy rowboat
was being rocked and tossed in the
choppy sea. Creeths frantic efforts to
row the boat to place of safety We're
unavailing and frequently the terrific
gale that was blowing carried the oars
out of the locks. The young architect
tied a handkerchief to the end of one of
his oars and waved 1t aloft as signal
of distress, while the boat drifted out to
sea and every moment threatened to
capsize.
Finally the three men in the launch
were able to come to the rescue, and
taking the boat again in tow started
back toward San Pedro.
AS they neared that port the pro-
peller of the launch broke with a snap
and the hard-luck party was adrift
again. All hands took to the oars
again and rowed their way to the
landing, reaching that blissful haven
after night had fallen.
