YBOTH VANQUISHED
TEAMS GO DOWN
BEFORE A CIPHER
Bud Shaney for First
Time Found to Be Easy
Picking

With Praul, former San Diego
high school star on the firing line,
the Calipatria team defeated Calex-
leo in the former city yesterday in
well played game, the final score
being 8 to 0. Praul pitched good
ball, as did Wright for CaIexico.
The Calipatria team had stronger
team, several fast stars from the
coast appearing IN the lineup in ad-
dition TO Praul. A large crowd of
rooters saw the game and were well
repaid for tile-r at;eHCance.
The Calipatria battery was Paul
and Bentley. Wright and Couke did
the heavy work for Calcxico.
Bud Shaney met his Waterloo at
Mexicali yesterday, the Drawley
team descending upon him with
their heavy artillery and driving
him off the mound. Shaney evi-
dentally had an off day and the
Brawley team, with greatly streng-
thened lineup, found him easy pick
ing. The score being ITO. 1t was
the first time this year that Shaney
has met with such disaster and the
members of the Calipatria team who
play Mexicali next Sunday at the
border are sharpening up their
bludgeons in preparation for an
other onslaught on their former
team-mate.

NORMAND-DINES
HEARING IS ON,
STAR ACITATED
by United Press Leased wire

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.- In
small courtroom packed to suffoca
tion with curious mob, Mabel Nor
mand, screen comedienne, today told
her story of the New Years shoot
ing of Courtland s. Dimes.
Facing an audience even larger
than the one which crowded into the
quarters of Justice Handy Friday
Miss Normand once more related the
details of the holiday party which
had it's tragic elimination.
Horace A. Greer, her chauffeur
charged with the shooting, was the
only other principal besides Miss
Normand who was present when
court opened.
Miss Normand was gracefully at
tired in black coat with gray hat,
shoes, stockings and gloves.
The petite actress, becoming con-
fused by the volley of questions COM
ing from attorneys and the court,
stood up large part of the time,
and talked with expressive ges-
lures.
Losing much of the composure and
assurance which she possessed when
she went to the stand, the actress
left the courtroom leaning heavily
on tn EARN of Milton Cohen, her at
torney, flushed and biting her lips.
Bench warrants were issued for
Mrs. Edith Burns, Miss Normand z
companion, and Police Surgeon Sa-
warren, who were subpoenaed to ap-
pear and failed to do so. The ease
was continued until this afternoon.

BEGIN WRITING
NEW TAX LAW.
FOUR FACTIONS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.--Splt-
into &our groups, ii.c ways and
means committee today began the
actual writing of TIE new tax law.
Despite sharp differences on sur tax
rates, Chairman Green predicted II
"Republican' bill would be report
ed to the house before February IL,
the limit set by the G. O. p. caucus.
The line up in committee makes
certain Il bitter fight on the sur
tax rates. Although the president
insists there shall be 10 compro-
mise in the "principlc" Of the
Mellon plan, party leaders believe
it will be impossible to get any
measure out of committee without
Il compromise.
A group of seven Republicans, led
Ly Representative Mills, New York,
is standing squarely behind the
Mellon blan, providing for a maxi
mum surtax of 25 per cent. ~ ~
Another Republican group led by
Chairman Green inclines to -3J per
cent.
Representative Frcar, Wisconsin,
lone Progressive on the committee,
insists there be no reduction of the
present so per cent rate.
Representative Garner, Texas,
said today that the Democrats IN
soidlv behind the A per cent pro-
posed in his substitute plan.

BOSTON DROPS
HORNSBY DEAL,
COST TOO HIGH

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Exercising
rights of citizens in q free country,
the Boston Braves let it be known
they would Ike to have Rajah
Hornsby.
1t developed today, however, that
hope CT gettinG the st. Louis star
lasted only until Branch Rickey, the
Cardina! manager, answered the
question" How much do you want
for him ,"
Hickey, it is understood, said
"we1l take Joe Genewich, Cotton
Tierney, Mickey O'Neil, Jocko Con
lon and 100000 in COIN"
The deal was then dropped, the
Braves protesting such a trade would
leave them with Hornsby and Il
ball park in hoek.
Judge Emil Fuchs caused another
fluttering of the public pulse when
he announced that the Braves had
offered $250,000 for Hornsby last
summer. He figures from the valu-
alton placed upon the players de
manded by the Cards for Hornsby
that the st. Louis owners looked
upon their second sacker as a $780,
600 asset.
1t was suggested nero that the
Braves in asking Hornsby's price
were prompted by the same curiosity
that prompts a shop girl to sit in a
Rolls Royce at the automobile show
and ask how much it is.

AL WATERS SHOWS HIS
GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP

Former Alderman Albert G. Wa
ters, the defeated Democratic candi-
date for mayor, who Is known in
this vicinity as a sportsman of the
highest type, has taken his defeat at
the hands of Mayor Wilson as he
would any other sporting contest
and in short statement expresses
his sincere thanks to those who
worked and voted for him.
Mr.. Waters points out that this
Is the first political contest he has
ever lost and also makes the inter-
esting statement that 463 voters who
went TO the polls here failed to vote
for either Mayor Wilson or himself
for mayor. He also shows the man
ner in which he suffered in the So
called Democratic strongholds of the
city to the extent of $50 votes.
Following Is Mr.. Waters state
ment:
This is the first political contest
I have ever lost but not the first
match, so I am aoie to take this
defeat in the same light and interest
of others.
I'm looking over the records find
total of 1892 votes were cast;
6,335 of which were for Mayor Will
son, and 5,194 for me. 1t is appar-
ent from this that 463 voters would
not show their preference for either
Mayor Wilson or myself. In the
recognized Democratic strongholds
of our city I suffered to the extent
of more than $50 votes and had ]
lost only 179 of this $50 the contest
would have ended all even.
Il am satisfied, however. to accept
the will of the people in this cleo
ton, and 1 want to take this oppor-
tunity of thanking all my friends for
their generous support, also to as
sure them that I did every honest
thing I could do to win.
"The campaign had its pleasant
side as well as the unpleasant. In
my campaigning about the city I
made many new and pleasant ac-
quantances, and I renewed many an
old friendship which together with
the knowledge of the great work on
the part of my friends to elect me.
leaves me very happy in the thought
that the effort was well worth
while"

precincts had been tabulated today
the vote stood: Coolidge, 90,705;
LaFollette, 82,499: Davis, 15,453.
