Ell Paso newspaper.

"Reds" Go Down
Before Onslaught

One fact seems certain. The
"Blues' won the baseball tilt last
night at the high school gymnasium,
where they met the "Reds' i'll one
of the hottest baseball games ever
played in the valley.
There is a veil of mystery hang
ing about the true score today and
persistent inquiries ON the part of
the Press sporting department fail
ed to get anyone to admit just what
the score might be or if there was
any.
The last effort to get the number
of tallies resulted in the statement
that Fred Nebel-Thau was official
scorer. The reporter hot-footed it
to his alleged headquarters only to
find that Mr.. NebelThau had sb-
seconded with the score book and was
last heard of enroute to CaleXico.
The game last night was the first
of series of seven games to be
played within the near future. The
winner of four out of the series
will be the grand champion for all
time.

LOS ANGELES April 9.-There
is an art in all things, even
chicken stealing. Pearly Hef-
ling knows the knack of rob-
bing the roosts without disturb
ing the household.
Pearly simply strokes the
chickens heads according to po-
lice report of his confession to
stealing on an average of 200
chickens a month.
cts perfectly simple the
police say Hefling told them.
"All I do is stroke their heads
a moment. The chicken likes
that. Then I take it down
from the roost, lay it on its
back and ruffle its feathers.
The sensation pacifies the fowl,
and then all I have to do is slip
it in my bag and go home.
There's never q squawk. -
