qualities of character and mind, which
endeared him to all fho knew him, and

TO
ENJOY MORENA
THIS SEASON
San Diego Water Commission
Orders Big Reservoir Opened
to Hunters and Fishermen.

Hunters and fishermen of the I'M
perial Valley will want to celebrate
today, when they learn that the San
Diego water commission at its regular
meeting Yesterday decided to throw
open Morena reservoir to sportsmen.
This settles an argument that has been
before the coast city council and
water commission for months.
However, in order to enforce proper
sanitary conditions, it has been decid-
ed that much higher fees will be
charged than in the past. The new
rates are:
For hunting. one calendar day or
fraction of day, $1.50.
For fishing, one calendar day or
fraction of a day, 81.
Boats for one day, So each.
No charge for camping ground will
be made to persons having hunting or
fishing permits. Other persons will
be charged so cents a day.
The old rates for hunting and fish
ing were SO cents for two days. This
did not keep the camping grounds in
proper style. The new camping
grounds will be sufficiently far away
from the lake to prevent any pollution
of the water.

EVERY ONE GOT
DOUBLE CROSS
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, March 12.-The trial of
Chicago White SoX baseball players
charged with throwing the 1919 world
series, which begins Monday before
Judge William E. Dever Of the county
court, is expected to bring forth evi-
dence that almost everyone connected
with the alleged conspiracy was dou-
BILE crossed in some way
The loss by Charles A. Comiskey,
owner of the club, of his champion
ship team and of players valued col
lectively as high as 100000, was
looked upon at the time of the jury
investigation as a double crossing un-
paralleled in baseball history. Testi-
mony given before the grand jurv and
which probably will be introduced dur
ing the trial, indicated that the al
legged plans of the gamblers charged
with fixing the series and Of players
charged with throwing it, also went
astray in several respects.
This testimony. given by witnesses,
was to the effect that the gamblers
double crossed certain players by not
making good on promised bribes, GER
tain players in return double crossed
the gamblers by winning game on
which the gamblers had pyramided
previous winnings and thus lost many
thousands of dollars for the fiXers,
and that some players even double
crossed each other.
