GIANTS AGAIN IN
CRITICAL, POSITION


NEW YORK, August 22.-With
their lead filtered away to three
and half games the New York
Giants are again in that position
which might be called critical.
Yesterday they dropped the final
game of the series to the peskv
Pittsburgh-Pirates, and it gave the
Pirates a grand total of two out
of three. The Cincinnati Reds won
and came back again within jabbing
distance of the leaders.
All the noble work that the
worlds champions did on their last
victorious sweep through the west
has gone for nothing. The lead they
acquired by knocking the Pirates
groggy and putting the Reds on
the floor has faded away through
one of the worst slumps the team
has had this season.
So long as the Giants mauled
and murdered pitchers they were
able to get by, even when they
were carrying some terrible hurl-
ing with them, but the batters have
now hit the slide with the pitch
ers and they are all in bad fix.
With his pitchers in the hole
again John McGraw can have no
happy thoughts over the coming
series with the st. Louis Cardinals,
unless he can work his offense
around to some kind of an effective
attack on the enemy.
Just a week ago it looked as if
the Giants were cinch for the
pennant. The Cincinnati Reds had
been terribly battered in a five
game series that was their big op-
bortunity TO get the lead. The Reds
looked as if they were passed for
the rest of the season, but Pat
Moran kept them playing. Perhaps
he might have had an idea that
the Giants were bound, as all ball
clubs, are, to get into an occasional
: slump.
McGraw switced his batting order
and line up in the final game with
the Pirates. He showed Jimmy
O'Connell, the $4,000 beauty, who
has been doing bench duty, back
into the game and allowed Casey
Stengel to sit III the shade. He
moved Dave Bancroft UP to the
leadoff position, put Friseh sec
ond in the batting order and placed
Pep Young third, but it worked nc
better than his other combinations.
McGraw felt that the Reds and
the Pirates would fade away af
ter taking beating from the
Giants during the last western trip
of the champions, but they have not
faded and they are still in the
fighting.

PINE VALLEY WILL HAVE MANY
ATTRACTIVE RESORT FEATUR RES

tanning of the beauty of the natural
scenery and the only restriction
placed upon the cottages to be
erected is that this must be kept
in mind. In order also, to retain
the privacy and open spaces and
to avoid crowding or too close
proximity to neighbors, each lot hts
been planned to include good
sized piece of ground and group
of trees.
Land Now Being Sold
At present two parcels of land
are ready for sale. These are near
the main unit of the buildings put
up for the convenience of the pub
lie, such as the Cabin, where a
lounging place is provided and re-
freshments and the. best meals
are served. The ultimate plans of
Judson include practically every
kind of amusement device to sup
plement the dining service, lounging
and card playing which may be
had at the Cabin.
mere III Dp ttHIliS courts,
wading pool for kiddies, Il nine
hole golf course, baseball diamond,
and a riding academy where lessons
will be given and horses may be
rented. The open space in the bot
tom of the valley is to be reserv-
ed for amusement purposes and the
lovely grove Of pine and oak trees
lying opposite the Cabin will be
used for a picnic ground for the
public. The trees here are among
the most magnificent in this part
of the state, and picnic parties al
ready throng the place on Sundays,
although the coNeniences which
will later be put in for their use
are not yet installed. Another
amusement, provided by nature for
/ Pine valley, and which will appeal
strongly to the sons of Isaac Wal
ton is the splendid trout fishing, it
being no unusual stunt for a party
of anglers to come back with
in couple of hours with a string
of 40 or 80 of the speckled beau
ties.

BY BERTHA HOFFLUND

A spot not far distant from here
which people of Imperial valley
have looked at for years, as they
made the trip from here to San Die
go and the coast, with the hope
that some day it might be open for
their use is now placed on the
market as subdivision and summer
resort with Edgar Brothers Realty
company acting as local represen-
tatives due to the thought and
enterprise of C. S. Judson, a cap
italist of Ell Cajon valley. This
is wonderful Pine Valley, consider
ed by many people as the gem of
San Diego county for beauty of
scenery, atmosphere and location.
Within the last few months the
100 acres of pines and oaks, run
ming water, springs and pasture
land constituting picturesque Pine
valley, which lies at the foot of
the Laguna mountains only short
three hour trip from Imperial val
ley, has been purchased and work
is under way which will change this
idle land into one of the best equip
ped and most complete of the pleas
ure play grounds of Southern Cal
ifornia.
Appeal To Valley People
This will appeal particularly to
Imperial county residents, not only
ON account of the wonderful natural
beauty of the place and for the
conveniences which will be install
led by Judson, but especially for its
easy accessibility to the valley, no
long gruelling driving being neces-
sary to reach it, and no heavy
grades having to be climbed in
order to be among the pines with
cool ocean breezes, scented with
the resinous and tonic smell of
the evergreens, blowing through.
Pine valley lies directly on the
main highway, only rs miles from
Ell Centre.
While force of twenty men have
been kept constantly at work since
early spring, the carrying out of
the owners plans for the resort,
which will be open both summer and
winter are still only in their Incl
piency. Eventually the entire val
ley is to be subdivided and opened
up to the public in tracts of about
one acre, where individuals may
build either summer, winter or all
the year cottages according to their
own plans. All plans of those, who
are dreaming the future of the big
resort, hinge, however, on the main

GOOD 1928 TRADES
THAT WENT WRONG

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-After
having guessed good and wrong,
several major league managers are
prepared to argue that there are
no brains, science or Judgment in
trading and it is just question of
luck in getting the good break On
a swap.
The only consolation in discard
ing a worn-out king that fills a
straight in another mans hand is
that others have done it before, and
the old baseball alibi covers the of
Tense: .'How can you beat i!?''
The most outstanding example of
good trade that went wrong hap
pened in the case of Ty Cobb and
the failure of deal to turn out as
the Tiger leader had reason TO cx-
pect it, blew what was generally
regarded as good chance for De-
troit to win the pennant or be way
up there.
Howard Ehmke wasn't doing
much good with the Tigers. Cobb
didn t like him, and the Detroit
fans figured that the club could get
along without him.
Cobb made then what looked like
a slick move when he traded Ehmke
and Hollings to the Boston Red Sox
for Del Pratt and Rip Collins.
In return for what was regarded
as excess baggage, Cobb got a good
second baseman, whom he expected
to fill a big hoie and make the
Tiger infield. And in Rip Collins
he acquired a pitcher of ability
who looked to be just about ready
for stardom.
AS Detroit figured that Cobb has
secured all the best of the deal, Sc
the Boston fans thought that they
had received the worst of it, and
Harry Frazee was censured for the
last overt act in breaking up a
great bali CLUB just to fatten his
poeketbook.
1t wasn't long until the whole
color changed. Pratt fell down at
/ second base and Collins was ter.
rible "bust'' as a pitcher. The
Tigers collapsed and fell out of the
running.
On the other hand, Ehmke pulled
a sensational reversal of form with
the Red Sox and turned into one OF
the best pitchers of the season.
