CALIFORNIA; ARE
AHEAD in GREAT
HIGH SCHOOL MEET

CHICAGO, May 26.-Cloudy, chill
weather with rain threatening pre-
vailed today for the final events
: in the national inter-s scholastic field
meet at Stagg Field. The trials
held yesterday made the contests
appear like California against the
rest of the world in the high school
team battle. Prizes for first place
include transportation and expenses
to the meet, which spurred the Cali
fornians to send nearly 80 athletes
representing 20 schools.
The final events also settle a mat
ter of neighborhood team rivalry
which carried the principals $500
miles from home to decide the is
sue. Hollywood and Huntington
Beach, California highs are the
rivals.
Huntington Beach has challenged
Hollywood s supremacy in three diff
ferent meets this season but was
worsted each time.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, also showed
up well in the trials and will carry
the burden of the fight with the
Californians.

Gas Bombs New
Method of Wild
Animal Capture

LOS ANGELES, May 25.-Cap-
turing of wild animals which has
always been more Or less arduous
work, will be simplified hereafter
by bombing, according to Prof,
John S. Edwards, who is to leave
shortly for South Africa, on an ape
hunting exposition.
F. s. Wilton, local photographer,
who returned from Africa year
ago, claims he has perfected non
deadly gas which will render an
animal unconscious without and bad
after effects. He will accompany
Prof. Edwards.
The purpose Of the expedition is
to. obtain anthropoid glands and
the capture of live simians for
geological gardens and motion pie
ture purposes.
Wilston said the idea for the gas
bombing of animals came to him
while watching the operations OF
the green mamba snake in Africa
The reptile spits at its prey, blind
ing it, in order to creep upon the
victim unseen.

Strenuous Steps
Taken to Prevent
Spread Date Pest

One of the last acts of F. w.
Waite as horticultural commissioner
for Imperial county, has been the
destruction of large number of
date offshoots, which were found to
be affected with date scale, follow
ing examination by officers Of the
federal department of agriculture,
who are spending some time in the
valley, inspecting the date industry
here. Mr.. Waite stated that in adj
dition to numerous off shoots, one
entire date garden has been des-
troyed after it was found it was so
badly effected with the pest that it
could not be reclaimed.
While it might seem that the de-
struction of so many off-shoots is
disastrous; Mr.. Waite stated that
the preventive steps were neces
sary if the data industry is to be
saved and become in the future a
valuable adjunct to Imperial Valley
crops. Stopping of the date scale
pest at this time will result in the
saving of thousands of dollars
worth of date trees later, and in his
opinion, and that of the federal of
ficcrs, the work has been absolutely
necessary.

Bears, Bulldogs
Meet in East to
Decide Champion
By HENRY L. FARRELL
Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May Go
Those well known batters, the Bear
of California and the Bulldog of
Yale, will tear and drag each other
around within the stony walls of the
Pennsylvania stadium this afternoon
for the collegiate champion
ship on track and field.
California, champions of two
years straight, each came out of
the preliminaries yesterday with
almost an entire team qualified to
go into the semifinals and finals.
Cal Sure to Win
California is considered almost
sure to win and the experts
among the coaches and former ath-
letes were specializing ON the margin
by which the westerncrs would be-
, come champions for the third
straight time.
While some track records may be
made today it is hardly possible
that any new marks will be made
in the fields events as two were set
up yesterday in the trials and the
same marks will hold good for the
finals if not bettered.
Stors, the Yale star, made a new
record in the javelin throw with a
toss of 100 feet one inch, and
Tootell, the Bowdoin giant, broke
all records when he threw the ham
mer 181 feet 6 inches.
Alfred Lacony the Lafayette
star was shooting at the record in
the 100 and 200 yard dashes during
the trials and he may set up q new
mark if he is pushed today.
The games start this afternoon at
2:30 daylight time.

easy work, but Dempsey will fight

Poppy Scraps at
Brawley Draw a
Splendid Crowd

Battlers from Brawley held their
own with q crew Of seasoned war
riors from San Diego in the Ameri-
can Legion fights at Brawley last
night, and the result was an excep-
tionally good card that pleased a
large number of fans.
Young Villareal of Manila, met
his equal in Willie Schyrock of San
Diego in the main event Of the eve
ming, the little Filipino scrapper hav-
ing to extend himself all the way
in order to get the draw. Willie
started off slowly, puzzled by Viii
lareal's peculiar style of fighting,
but once he got going, drove home
some telling blows. 1t was good
fight all through, and the draw de-
cision was the best that could be
given.
Murphy Wins
OF equal interest with the head
liner, was the scrap between Bat
Ting Paul of Brawley and Cy Muir
ply of San Diego. The coast scrap
per showed worlds Of science, and
was too good for the Brawley blacl.
boy, who tried his hardest, and gave
his usual exhibition of gameness
that makes him popular with the
fans in defeat and victory. He
stopped some terrible blows from
Murphy and was groggy in the
last two rounds. ciurpny left the
ring without a mark to show he had
been i'll fight.
Young Hallowell of. Brawley and
Lou Norman of San Diego, went
four slugging rounds to a draw. The
boys were evenly matched, with
Norman having had more expert
ences, but the Brawley boy made up
this deficiency by clever blocking,
and his gameness.
Mexicaro Ahead
The preliminary between Young
MeXicano and Young Jack Waters,
was a weird affair, the decision 90.
ing to MeXicano. OF all the pecul.
lar styles of scrapping ever seen in
the ring, these two had funny ones
of their own. Waters in particular
made one think of Battling Sikh as
he tore around the ring in whirlwind
style, with a long mop of inky black
| hair sticking up straight. He had
Mexicano going in the first two
rounds, but shot his bolt and let the
decision get away from him in the
| last two.
Two kids started off the program
with a curtain raiser, and it was ;
forerunner of the good scraps that
came later. Previous to the last
| bout, two Japs gave an exhibition
of jiu jitsu wrestling that entertain
ed the crowd and was greatly en-
i joyed.

Amused at Gossip
Ford is much more amused than
interested in talk that associates
his name withe the presidency. His
attention was called TO published
first week results of a nation wide
informal poll on presidential posi-
bilities made by Collier s Weekly,
in which his name led the list.

saw it, but that doesn't mean any
thing. Next week some one else
will be in the lead
Ford was reclining on low set
tee before a log fire in small
living room in the old Ford home
stead near Dearborn, where he was
born and where the first twenty
years of his life were spent. AS
he talked he twisted his long slend-
er length about so that he could
gesture with one arm more freely.
"I have tremendous confidence
in the people of the United States
to take care of themselves. AS long
as the affairs of the nation run
smoothly people don't care much
who is president.
Ford Job Colossal
"My interest in politics was new
er less than it is today. Ny job
here at the Ford works was never
bigger or more interesting. We
now are producing 1000 cars day
and by next year we will be pro-
ducing 10000 a day. I believe the
prosperity of this country is funda-
mentally sound.
"The people of the country are
getting back to work and that is
responsible for the present good
times. If every man in the coun-
try worked six hours each day the
prosperity of this country would
break ali records.
"Besides work here in the auto
mobile plant we are planning an ex-
tension of the Detroit, Toledo and
1ronton railroad, south of the Ohio
river to our coal fields in eastern
Kentucky and West Virginia, an
addition of about 65 miles and
electrification of the entire system.
"We hope to get government
permission to build large power
4 dam across the Ohio near Ironton,
(which will not only provide Il
roadbed for the railroad over the
river, but provide electric power
and in no way interfere with river
navigation.
Two Big Problems
"There are two big outstanding
problems before America today
that some must be solved. One is
control of the judiciary; the other
is solution of the railroad question.
"The people have lost confidence
in our courts which have taken
over powers it was never intended
they should have. The railroad
problem is large problem of the
farmer and the manufacturer. The
I American railroad system must be
centralized, possibly under govern
ment control of some character.
Rail rates must be reduced and bet
ter service rendered.
"The' day of Wall street control
of railroads is over. But as far
as that is concerned the day Of
Wall street control in any efficient
ly conducted American business is
over. The Ford company never
needed Wall street. The Standard
Oil company does not need Wall
street. The day of Wall street and
|sthc financial supremacy of New
York is about over any way. The
middle west soon will be the finam
| cial and business center of this
country.''
