Heiny Is Sending
a Date Exhibit
to County Fair

Francis Heiny of Brawley, refer
red to frequently as the Burbank of
Imperial Valley or plant wizard,
yesterday picked the first big black
date from a tree just beginning to
produce fruit. He believes that it
is the first of the variety in the
United States and expects great
things from the tree.
He has another tree referred to
by government specialists as
"Heiny's $2500 tree" which is
bearing more heavily this year than
ever before. He took five off shoots.
from it last year and has seven
ready this year. The government is
asking for one or more and wants
to exchange Deglet Noors but Heiny
doesn't think it quite a fair ex-
change, since the pet tree has no
brother or sister in America and
is unquestionably superior brand
requiring little attention, practi-
cally no curing being required.
Heiny has prepared box of dates
for the Riverside fair, in which he
has cleverly arranged his several va
rieties by colors, so that visitors
may get an idea of the production
from one date orchard. .f(

FINAL PLAY TODAY
Concluding Blocks of Three Cushion Billiard Match Between Hoppe and KieCkhefcr Are Listed.

Chicago. Oct 24.-Thc conclud- ing blocks of the 400 point three cushion billiards match between Willie Hoppc 1S.2 bslkline cham pion, and Augic Kieckhefer, former three cushion champion, were left for play today. AS a result of the previous blocks, Hoppe led. 300 to 19S. Yesterdays scores were 50 to 45 in 62 innings and 50 to 95 in 50 innings.
 Hoppe, with the feathery touch that has kept him at the top in balkline billiards for a score of years, has routed Kieckhefer's prev iously displayed wizardry at the angle game. His delicate touch has not kept Hoppe from cueing his ball sufficiently hard for the long runs around the table demanded by the three cushion game, and it has permitted him to retain his balkline mastery over the worries. Because Of it. Kieckhefer has found himself playing a cue ball left close to a cushion the greater part of the time.
 The task of scoring 2O2 points to Hopes 1nn is considered impossible for Kieckhefer today. They arc playing for purse of s5,OOO and a side bet Of s1.000.

 No indeed! Joe plans to spend about five more years in the big show, after he loses his ability to mystify the opposing batters.
 A natural hitter. Bush Of late years has given much attention to the batting end of the game. He has improved 10 such an extent that he IS now regarded as one of the most dangerous hitters in the American league.
 For several years he has done pinch hitting roles for the Yankees aside from pitching. When Miller Huggins needs a right handed hitter in pinch, Bush invariably gets the call
 On the days when it was not his turn to pitch. Bush has spent much time chasing fly balls and has be- come d very proficient fielder.
 Joe Wood, a great pitcher in his day, hung on for many years after he was through as a twirler because he could play the outfie}d and hit" says Bush. "and I intend to follow in his footsteps

Chicago, Oct. 24.--Hopes and fears Of their supporters followed three Western Conference teams to- day as they migrated into enemy territory to stake their future as leading title contenders.
 Chicago went to Columbus as the guest Of Ohio State. determined to add to its prestige as the leading disputant of Illinois title claims. Ohio has equally as. anxious to pre- serve its record of not having been scored on this season. Both squads were in excellent condition. f
 Minnesota, en route to Iowa City to engage Iowa, halted at Cedar Rapids for a final workout. The squad was gloomy after only slight improvement during the weeks training and because of injuries to the regulars. Iowa's bag of tricks was swelled with ner aerial plays at its penultimate practice session and the Hawkeyes hopes to advance their standing. so far marked on the debit side with tie.
 At Jackson, Mich., the Ann Arbor- bound Wisconsin Badgers paused for practice today to complete prep arations for Michigan tomorrow. The Badger squad was virtually the same which played Minnesota to a tie. Coach Yost's reorganized Michi- gan eleven. with Captain Steger at quarterback. presented 8 fighting front. but doubt whether new plays would work well in view of the changes was expressed.
 Northwestern ended its arrange ments for the Michigan Aggies. who arrived in Evanston in time for a workout today. While the game has no bearing on the Big Ten standing of the Purple. 1t Is ex- pected to indicate whether improve ment has been made since Purdue's victory last week.

By The Associated press.

By The Associated Press.
 Liverpool, Oct. 24.-A crowd of more than 2,5OO yesterday witnessed the opening European exhibition game between the Chicago White sox and the New York Giants. The Sox won by score of 16 to Ii. The game was played at the Everton footbaR grounds.
 Through British Eyes
 This is the way a British press agency described the game.
 Many who had not previously witnessed ball game were astound- ed by the prodigious hitting of the American batsmen, the ball fre- quently falling into the stands. The play was exceedingly fast, but the smart fielding of the Chicago side was the downfall of the New Workers. The latter held the lead until the sixth inning, but the Sox gathered four runs in the sixth to lead by to 6.
 "The seventh inning gave the Sox the most commanding lead of 16 runs to [, but they failed to increase this in the following two innings, where the Giants put on four ad- ditional runs to be beaten by five runs. Mostil of the Sox, playing at left field, made some wonderful catches in the outfeld. On one occasion he had to lean over the barrier in an attempt to hold the ball.
 "Ruel was the outstanding bats man. He often drove the ball among the spectators in the stands. Kamm, at right field, also played a fine game, while Robertson was the best of the pitchers"

FIRPO SAYS HE WILL
 NOT FIGHT COUNTRYMAN
Says He Has No Use for Romero or Godfrey Either-May Fight
 During Winter

New York, Oct. 24.-Luis Firpo has baked at efforts of Tex Rickard to sign him for a match with Quin- tin Romero, the Chilean heavy weight, or George Godfrey, Phila- delphia negro fighter.
 The promoter wants to put on TTirpo with either of these men at Madison Square Garden the first week of December, but so far the Argentine. still involved in legal complications growing out of depor- tation proceedings against him, has declined 10 sign articles.
 Firpo indicated he still harbored resentment against Romero for the latter's alleged disparaging remarks last spring when Luis refused to meet the Chilean in South America. Firpo told Richards matchmaker he was disinclined to fight Romero on this account.
 Whether his defeat by Wills is an influencing factor or not, Firpo inti- mated in opposing Godfrey match, that he was not eager for another mixed bout.
 Pending the outcome of govern ment litigation, Firpo will make no definite pansr but if he is cleared of the charges against him, Rickard believes the temperamental South American will consent to terms for several matches during the winter here.
