The Meusel brothers loom up as the

thrower in the major leagues when
he chased Groh s hit to the fence and
by bullet throw, stopped him ut third
base, cutting off what seemed to be q
sure home run. "Irish'' came up in
the Giants half of the eighth inning
with the bases full and pasted Bush $
first offering to center for single,
scoring Bancroft and Groh and tying
the score. This hit meant the derrick
for Bush, and completely broke dows
the Yankee defense.
"Bob" outhit "Irish, getting two
hits out of four times up, while the
Giant member of the family got one.
Neither is credited with any work in
the field.
Here's what the official dope says
about each of them:
ROBERT WILLIAM MEUSET., right
fielder, the best tllrower in the ma ior
leagues and one of the best natural
hitters, was born in San Jose, Califor-
MIA, July 10, 1897. He started as first
baseman with the Oakland Club in 1917.
In 1918 he played first base for Spo-
kane and batted 81. He jumped into
prominence as 4 third baseman with
Vernon in 1919. He came to the Yanks
in 1920, where he alternated as third
bascman and outfielder and batted 1928.
He is fast, has Il wonderful arm and is
Il heavy batter. He is crratic in the
! field. careless on the bases and at times
| totally indifferent. He stands 6 feet
/ 21s inches, weighs 195 pounds and
J throws and bats right handed. His
| home is in Los Angeles.

brother of the Yankee ''Bob Meuscl

of cellar place with the Philadelphia
! Pills into the world s series money in
1920. Mcusel plays left field for the
Giants. Meuscl was born in Oakland
California, June 9, 1894. He broke into
the game in 1913, with Fresno, and
was grabbed by the Los Angeles clut
Of the Pacific Coast League. He had
a trial with Washington in 1914, but
was farmed out to Elmira in the New

until 1916, when he was drafted by
Birmingham of the Southern Associa
ton. The Cubs drafted him in 1917 an6
turned him back to Los Angeles. The

DUCK HUNTING IN
VALLEY OUTLINED
IN NEW BOOKLETS
The CaIipatria Chamber of
Commerce Tells Where
To Find Ducks

Authentic information for wild goose
and duck hunters is contained in n
unique booklet, styled The Hunter S
Paradise, Imperial Valley, issued by
the Chamber of Commerce Of Cali
patria.
Following is the gist of the reading
matter:
Imperial valley is exceptionally good
for ducks and geese, provided the
hunter knows where to 90 and also
knows their feeding habits. During
the season, birds literally swarm in
here, and at times are menace 70
grain crops. The Salton Sea, New
River and the Alamo river are three
of the haunts of these birds, and the
bavous surrounding the sea, and the
marsh lands near the rivers afford
loafing places for them. The large
acreage planted to grain and other
winter drops are the attraction to the
birds, and on account of the vast mum
bers that fly in, the farmers welcome
hunters, and are glad of the protection
to their fields.
Well equipped hunting reserves are
located in this region and offer com
Portable quarters and convenience tc
hunters. The Imperial Valley Gun
Club has 1900 acres in fresh water
ponds, wild rice, barley feeding grounds
and other facilities. Capt. Davis :
famous Hell's Kitchen is a most pic
.turesque place with its building and
camp located well above the surface o.
the water. He, too, has planted wil'
rice. and has encouraged the growth o
brush which affords ample shootin!
blinds. The Alamo Duck Rese,Vc am
the Finnery further south offer qult
as good shooting as the camps TO IN
north. A map of the valley especiall.

by the Giant followers when Mctiraw $

meant victory for them.

BY beating the Yanks 3 to ? yester-

once more the truly great ball club thai

that stung the best offerings of the
Yank star to all parts of the field,

rescue.
The series is far from over and with
fair skies and another Indian summer

The printed plan of the INTERIOR

That no dividends shall be paid upon

That the Interborough shall waive

the valuation Of the lnterborough
found themselves. fguratively. milns
apart in their computation Of cost and
reproduction of a system like the In
terborough.
The Interborough says that its prop
erty is worth at least $500 100000. and
it's latest computation makes it $iOo.-
100000, while the Bureau of Vaiua-
tion Of the Transit Comm ssion fixes
the value at STA 100000.
Mr.. Gorsuch has been on the stand
three days explaining cost prices on
the schedules which he uses in the
Judge Shearn, and at no time have his
figures been approximately close TO the
computations made by the commits ion S
counsel
Mr.. Shearn yesterday assalcd the
1nterborough's estimate Of tie cost Of
steel as of March, 1922. Mr.. Gorsuch
put it at s44.37 ton, including $3.50
for erection, while Judge Shearn sub
mitted figures obtained from subway
contractors showing that the same sort
OF steel could be obtained for S40.50
n ton, or less.
Mr.. Gorsuch said that he did not ask
local contractors what they paid for
cement. His schedules had cement at
showed that Crawford e. Co., doing CON
tract work in New York, got it for 81
barrel. Mr.. Gorsuch estimated com
mon labor at $3.50 a day, while Judge
Shcarn showed that it was costing local
contractors only 1920.
Mr.. Shearn said that his analysis Of
the Interborough figures indicated that
they were 38 per cent excessive.
The Gorsuch figures made the cost
Of reproducing the Brooklyn tunnel cx-
tension of the Interborough system
500 900, 900, while the original cost was
S54 100000. Judge Shearn detected an
item Of 1923 sol for sub station con
struction, which the city had paid, and
said that there was no warrant for car
rying it as an asset item owned by the
lnterborough.
In summing up the mornings work,
Judge Shearn said to Mr.. Gorsuch who
seemed very unhappy under the grill
ing;
'fou are asking the city to pay S273,
100000 for an Investment of $162 ,0OO,-
600. That is to say, to pay you Sl1

for the use Of S162,0Oo.00O over and

on top Of that you arc asking the city
to pay $68 100000 as the value Of your
lease. Do you realize that?"
"Yes, ! know that is IN the state
