ruling OF the appellate branch OF the
California court as to the cOnstltu-
tionality of the Walker-OtiS law, the
hostile bill enacted by the legislature
last winter. Williams is building MS
ufans Without regard to the declslon,
but of course, if the decision should be
adverse to the anti-betting bill the
meeting probably would be EXTENDED.
The California turfman stated that
every action would be within the law
and the Jockey club would be governed
hv the advice of the most eminent at
f0rneys in the state. Facing possible
loff IL s'nemOry betting is necessary.

long and ultimately hopes for change

Two Winning
Games Pitched
By Henderson
By Twirling Double Victory He
Sends Invaders to Top OF
the Column

Benny Henderson, the star twirler
of the Invaders. built up a record for
himself yesterday when he defeated
the Fresno Tigers in both games of a
double header. On account of the
postponement of the Friday game a
double event was arranged yesterday
and when Benny had defeated the
Tigers, 4 TO 8, in the first game. he
insisted on being allowed to make
day of it by twirling in the second
event. Nealon allowed him the privi-
lege and Henderson made good by shut
ting out MacDonoughs bunch, 4 to O..
The double victory of the Invaders
sends the Oakland team to the top of
the percentage table, a position which
Fresno has been occupying for the
last week
Little schimpf essayed to pitch the
Tigers to victory in both games, but
he only got as far as essaying.
The Tigers went after the runs in
the lrst inning of the first game,
when Funck opened the session by
slamming a safe one to right. Kelley
followed with bingle to the same
spot Carney accepted a slam in the
ribs and the stations were fully oecu-
