tion of the rule. He sire ssed the fact
that the amended rule did not clarity
the situa tion. James L. Lloyd, preSi-
dent of the board, gave his support to
this trio fought in vain to have the
ruling revoked We nave made 4
mistake" said Mr.. Lloyd. "It was not
intentional. The only safe thing to
do is to reScind the resolution as II
affects the press.
Mrs. Morgan then proposed that the
board designate some employe as the
publicity agent of the school system
who could be held responsible for
news stories that are mot to the
liking of the board. It's the ire
sponsible interviews that we want to
stop" she declared.
After the vote on the amendment
to the news mu2ziing order President
Lloyd surrendered the chair to Mr..
Greenwood, and made a forcible l lea
for it's abrogation. THE interpreta-
tion placed on the rule by the COM
munity is wrong" he said. The
impression prevails that we are
undertaking to gag the press. The
press has a perfect right to know
what is going on in the schools, and
the right to publish it. The safest
position is for us to put ourselves
back where we were. l believe such
public and we are serving the public"
"Not Serving Public
Mrs. Morgan took objection to Mr.
Lloyd's statement. I'VE are not here
to serve the public, but to serve the
school system" she asserted
Following a series of parliamentary
maneuvers, the board voted on Mr
Lloyd's motion to rescind the gag
order, which was lost by a vote of
5 to 2. Mr.. Greenwood, the acting
,Srr,1 x,f
news muzzling, did not vote. Those
who voted against revoking the rul-
ing were Mrs. Morgan, Capt. Peyser
Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, William L.
Houston and DR.. j. Hayden Johnson.
Mr.. Lloyd and Mr.. Graham cast the
two votes in favor of abrogation of
the order.
The committee appointed by Presi-
dent Lloyd to consider further the
gag rule, on motion of Mr.. Houston,
man; Mr.. Greenwood and Mr.. Graham.
The committee will make it's report
at the first June meeting of the
board.
Authority Is Shifted.
~ A report of the rules committee
submitted by Mr.. Houston, removing
the office of the secretary of the
school board from the supervision of
the superintendent of schools and
placing it under the board, was
adopted.
The chief accountant of the school
system was authorized to devote
moneys on hand derived from the
sale of newspapers in the schools dur
ing the war to the school playground
fund. ------~
The report of the buildings, grounds
and equipment committee, submitted
by Mr.. Greenwood, pointed out that
there are no funds on hand for the
artificial lighting of schools. He also
reported that the committee was op-
posed to the proposal to install a
ten-thousand- dollar pipe organ in the
Eastern High School auditorium If the
cost was to come out of the general
fund. The report further declared
that the committee felt the fire

Yosemite Travel
Shows a Slight
Decline Lately

CAMP CURRY, Yosemite, August
1S.-s-At last the volume of travel to
Yosemite has begun to show slight
falling off. This has been one OF
the most remarkable seasons in
Yosemite history. In spite OF
every early-season indication OF
slack business, due to boot and
mouth troubles and the general de-
crease in travel, for week after
week the Yosemite arrivals have
kept ahead of last years phenomen-
al figures. For 1928 was boom .
year for the resorts of the state
and far out-distanced all previous
records.
Totals for 1924 are still hand
somelyy leading those for 1922, to
date, but have fallen trifle be-
hind last years record smashing
high marks. The government sta
tistics for the month of July, re-
leased yesterday by Superintendent
W. T.. Lewis, show 36,SS9 arrivals
for July, 1924, against 44,27s for
July, 1928, loss of II percent. me
number of ears entering the Park
in July showed 16 per cent loss,
the figures being S,497 for 1924,
against 10,O93 for 1928. About
seven-ninths of the July, 1924, ar
rivals came in private automo'
biles, the exact figures being
27,41l out of the 36,SS9 total ar
rivals.
Total arrivals up to and including
August 2, for 1924, were S3,341 per
sons. OF this number not quite
half have come in privately own
ed motor ears, the exact total OF
motorists being 56,S31.
Tioga Road Used
During the week ending August
., 5,537 persons arrived in the Park.
OF this number, less than three
fourths, 4,2O0 to be exact, came by
private car; and 1887 by other
means of transportation.
The continued great volume Of
motor travel over the Tioga road is
the most remarkable feature of the
week s statistics. Last week was
one of the biggest weeks in mum
Der of Tioga arrivals in the history
of Yosemite. A total of I,2Io per-
sons in 406 cars arrived via this
High Sierra route-10 more persons
and more cars than came III over
the Big Oak Flat, which is now
the best direct route to Yosemite
from Northern California points.
Wawona road led both Tioga ana
Big Oak Flat in popularity, 1861
persons in 4S2 cars coming to Aoso'
mite over this route during the past
week. Two ears carrying 4 persons
came in over the old Coulterville
road, while ears were shipped into
FL Portal, their quota of passengers
being 8.

FEAR IS FELT BY
GIANTS, PIRATES
GAIN STEADILY
Braves Run Wild, Yanks
Lead Tigers by One
Game ~
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United I'rexs Sfaff COrrcspnu ii 81


NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.--Ten years
ago at this time the New York
Giants were coasting along on IA
clear track toward their fourth
straight national league pennmts
The Boston Braves had been going
no place in particular when they be-
came possessed in July and ran wild
through the league from the bottom
to the top, winning the pennant and
the worlds series from the famous
Philadelphia Athletics.
The Pittsburgh Pirates may be do
ing the same thing now. They most
certainly are trying and there is no
reason to doubt that the Giants are
concerned.
On July 23 the Giants were out in
front with lead of IL games and
New Workers, disturbed by the col
lapse of the Yankee pitching staff
contended themselves with assump-
tion that they were bound to see at
least one end of the worlds series.
Then the Pirates started on July "a
when they beat Brooklyn in the
last game of the home series. They
moved eastward and swept the series
from the Braves. They took three
out of four from the Giants, broke
even in Brooklyn and made a clean
sweep in Philadelphia. Returning
home they took the series from the
Giants and reduced the lead Of the
champions to three games.
Sensational Squirt
In that sensational squirt the Pi-
rates now 90 out of % games and
cut their advantage from II full
games to three games.
1t may be simple statement, but
the cllance of the Pirates to win the
pel nant this year depends entirely
upon themselves. Perhaps they are
going too fast now and must hit an
Other slump. To keep the Giants
from coping their fourth straight
championship, the Pirates will have
to play consistent good ball.
The Giants are a known Quantity.
1t is great money club, with
STEADY veteran players. 1t is also Il
good road club and it has the great
ieat manager in the game. McGraw
will be cracking the whip down the
last quarter and he has the faculty
gof getting response. Z 1
The hectic race in the American
league continues with the A Ianks
holding a slender lead of II game
cover the Tigers, and with the Sena-
stors the same distance behind them.
connie Mack has done a lot of good
work for the Yanks this season. as
the Athletics have split even nwith
the Tigers in the last eight games.
