BY RED PERKINS

Andy Francis Briswalter is 81 years
of age and one of the best semi-pro-
fessional pitchers that can be found in
the southland at the present time.
Briswa1ter first went in the box for
the Whittier high school team and did
some fine work for that club, striking
out on an average Of twelve to sixteen
County High School league. He later
went to the Rivera nine, playing at
Los Nietos, at times holding down first
base and doing a little pitching. Aft
erwards he entered the Los Angeles
high school, playing on the first team
of that schools nine as slabSter and
in the infield. Manager George M.
Ward of the Edison team took a fancy
to him and gave him trial on the Edi-
son Electric team in the California
Summer league, with which he has
made good ever since.
During one Of the last Coast league
local series, when the Angels were play
ing the Beavers at Chutes park, Mar
ager McCredie sent Briswalter on the
mound during the last three innings,
and not one of the Los Angeles players
got hit off his delivery. Later in the
week Capt. Dillon tried to employ him
to play on his team, but owing to OBJ
jections of his parents he was not per-
mitted to go north with the Angels. In
a game against the Oaklands Briswal-
| ter twirled the entire game for the Los
Angeles team, letting them down witt
seven hits. Briswalter says that after
a little more practice with the minol
leagues of this city he may receive thu
consent of his parents and enter thu
| professional ranks next season.

LARGEST PETITIONER
President Exceedingly skeptleal as to
Value of Franchise So Long

The board of supervisors passed

dent of the corporation. rms is one
of the large public utility corporations
whose assessment Is lower this year,
being $2,O21,445 as against $2,7ll'O6o IN

Mr. cass wanted the state franchise
assessment of $685. $50 reduced to S2oO,-
600. When asked by the county as
SCISSOR how much the franchise TO use

Mr.. Case replied that, at the present

Dewitt C. Van Court. the veteran
boxing instructor of the Los Angeles
Athletic club, returned yesterday from
Catalina island. where he has been for
the last week on the most enjoyable
outing he ever had In his life. Van
is looking as good as he feels, and Is
as cheerful as previous to his vacation.
A large number of the boys met him
last night in the gymnasium and, after
much pleading, soon got him to open
his heart and tell of his diversions
while at the island.
He arrived at the island Sunday and,
after breakfast, went to the ball game
which was scheduled for that morning.
The first thing he noticed was that,
instead of the regulation base bags the
Avalon ball team was using huge jelly
fish to mark the location of the bases.
Van said he knows they were jelly
| fish because he went over and felt OF
| them.
The second day he was at the island
he took a trip in one OF the glass
bottom row boats and, from that van
| tage point, explored the mysteries of
| the submarine gardens. AS soon as
| he reached shore he went In search OF
one of the Banning boys and tried to
close a deal with that parsonage where
bX Van should have the contract for
irrieatine the submarine gardens. Van
assured Banning that the gardens then
would look ever so much better.
This deal falling through, Van be-
came angry and vowed vengeance on
the whole town. So that night ne
climbed to the top OF the mountains,
at the base of which the town OF Ava
lon is built. He waited TIL mldnight,
then drew a sharp knife and craWled
half way down the mountain side to
where hundreds of acres of pumpkins
we've growing. Then, without even
cry of warning for the sleeping viii
layers began to slash each pumpkin
from its Vine The pumpkins began to
roll down the mountalnslde, crashing
ing the tent city that was erected by
the seaside.
At first the natives thought another,
earthouake had been turned loose or
that the Japanese feet had stolen
march upon them in the night ana
was bombarding the island. sic SEM
per tyrannis," yelled Van from the
mountain top, and for two days and
nights he was pursued Tin his dreams)
by the enraged populace, but he later
give himself up promising TO be gooo
in the future.
After this his widest form of dl-
version was lassoing fiyhsh. He would
stand on the shore all day and when
one came within striking distance Van
would let go the coil of rope and rarely
mis- jed one of the swift fish. One day
he entertained the natives by showing
them how to start balky burro. He
got a carrot and tied 1t onto the end
of fishing pole and by holding 1t In
front of the animals nose finally got
him to moving. Van kept the island
ers in state of terror for the whole
week. for despite his promise to be
good, they could not forget the awful

NEW ORLEANS, July 2O.-Much in.

of the so-called anti-racing law, which
went into effect today, prohibiting
bookmaking, betting or gambling in

The races at the track Of the LOUISE

Saturday, but the interest lies prin-

No definite plans have been made
