$4,000 For the
Vernon Tigers

-OS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-Offer
Of $4,000 for the Vernon Tigers
has been made to owner Ed Maier
by ". II. "Billy' Lane, principal
stakeholder in the Salt Lake club,
according to q well founded report
here today.
1t is not thought Maier will con
slider the offer seriously, as he holds
he Tigers at $250,000, the same
price nj which the Angeles are cap
italized.
Maier, because of i'll health, has
been forced to spend much time at
his mountain ranch, and because Of
this has placed the Tigers ON the
market.
Should Lane secure the club, he
will dispose of his Salt Lake hold
ings to Il syndicate of business men
Of that city, it is reported.
When you see Il man standing on
the corner scratching, ask him how
he enioved his vacation.

BERKELEY, Calf, Aug. l.
Discovered lying On a street

starvation, Agnes Barry. 80, re-
vealed to physicians that she
had been on hunger strike
for lOve' for one month.
A year ago, she said, a man

wooed and won her. Her happi-
ness was supreme. Then his love
cooled ard all her protestations
of affection failed to- recapture
his heart. So she decided to
co:nmit suicide by starvation.
Physicians say her recovery
is doubtful.
