TAssoCrATFD PRESS DIsPATCH1


 SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-Wlth the last weeks series concluded, none of the Coast league teams appear to have made advancement except San Francisco which goes to second place over Oakland with a lead of half a game Winning the game today with Portland gives the locals a clear title to the second notch with Los Angeles leading by seven games.
 Venice took the series from the An gels in the south with four out of seven while Sacramento did likewise with Oakland in Sacramento. Portland i'm proved since leaving the north and ap- pears to be over it's rough spots. Harry Todd. an eastern league man who pitched today's game has the earmarlIs of trained professional but says he is fresh from an eastern university and just wanted a chance. McCrory says lad will possibly be signed up. Another player who will enter the league this week is Jerry Downs. He has been signed for an infie1d position with the Seals He will meet the team in Los Angeles tomorrow and probably will play third base. TOnneman the Seal catcher who was picked up by the local club three weeks ago after being re- leased by Venice has been turned loose by Manager Del Howard and picked up by the Portland team.
 Mig" Clark who arrived from the east this week for the Seal team will take Tonneman's place behind the bat as alternative with Schmidt.
 Venice made a spurt last week against the Seraphs and with the ad- vantage of being on their home grounds will play the Seals this week

MR. MELCzfR FAVORS
 TIE CIVIC CENTER
The impression l. Would Mske Upon
 Visitors

-.a tho Editor of The Republican. Sir:
 am decidedly in favor of a civic center and particularly to have .. 9. tlat centrally located and ideal school block The advantages of such q building, near the post office tine Federal and Water Users buildings would be incalculahIe to our citizens and families residing at some distance fr.m the city and our farmers.
 Many or them may have some busi- ness to attend to in the Federal building and aIs3 with the city or county courts Tney must call at the post office for their mail and r.t a few may have their rent t" fav at the Water Users association Taa .JEautagos in having all these public offices in rroximity cannot be oVcrestimated.
 Another advantage would be in having a largo dual structur>-for the citr and courty-it naturally would h, double in size to two distinct b1.iId5nes if erected on two sites Newcomers would look at the Iarga and maauiricent building with inter est and harr decidedly better idea of the go-ahcadism of our people. while our citizens would have cause to be proud of the sight that sucn a cluster oI elegant buildings on two adjoining blocks would occasicn-
 1t would enhance perceptihlE the value of real estate throughout th" city, Respectfully,

Uneasy Alonu Border

DOUGLAS, June 23-Lack of news from the front above Guaymas to- night caused uneasiness among the insurgent state officials along the border Due to the strategic ad- vantage expected if the state troops would have routed the federal col umn. But the government troops are evidently still holding their own.
 Federals and insurgents alike place more than local importance on the battle. The constitutionalists be- lieved that if Ojeda is defeated leaving Sonora in complete control of the insurgents recognition by the Tnited States will result

cinct. and Capt Elliott. of the Tenth
precinct, were the other members Of the

enough to prove their guilt. and that in
many cases the prosecuting witnesses

they brought the charges.
II is further set forth in the report
that in some of the cases men on trial
proved that they had not been present
on Pennsylvania Avenue during the pa
rade. but had been stationed elsewhere

fee, The season has been a barren one
In practically all portions Of the chesa-
peake Basin.
The upper reaches Of the Potomac have
been almost barren of fish during the
entire season, and nearly all the shad
and herring fishermen have failed to
meet expenses. At Ferry Landing. the
largest seine on the river, LOO fathoms
long, was compelled to discontinue opera
lions in the middle Of the season owing
to the scarcity of fish. In former years
much smaller seines on this celebrated
fishing shore sometimes yielded 10000
or more herring at a haul The largest
haul this season was 5000 herring ana
100 shad Many times only 5, 10. or IL
shad were taken.
The immediate cause of the failure Of
the shad and herring fisheries 10 the
diminished run of spawning fish into
Chesapeake Bay from the sea. As the
great bulk OF the yield is taken In salt
water, the remnant that was able to
reach the spawning grounds In the
streams was insignificant and wholly In
