Olympic tennis champion, accom-
panied by her mother. plans to leave

BY the best of luck, Mack found
that Poole was eligible if he could
bel obtained from Portland, Greg.
Portland said yes to the request, and
Poole. who had not praCtiCed min
ute with the Athletics, but who was
in fair condition, stepped right in and
played such a whale of game that
he nearly led the AS into the prom
ised land.
In the latter part of the season
Mack obtained Holt from the Jersey
City Club on the supposition that his
batting would make him better first
baseman for Philadelphia than Poole.
Holt showed class now and then, but
he did not show up as we'll as Poole,
and he was not as good as old Joe
Hauser when the latter was in top
notch form.
1t would be foolish to say that had
Hauser been in the Athletic lineup
last season he might have pulled
them through TO ii pennant. Poole
fitted in SO well that he carried the
team along at top speed until the dog
days. And even when Poole slipped
a bit there We're other factors that
contributed To the AS downfall.
But with Hauser. Poole and Holt TO
choose from Connie Mack certainly
won't have to do much worrying

Base bali politicians are after the
scalp of John Conway Toole presi-
dent of The International League.
They want another man to head that
organization. They are against him
because he fought for limit of eight
players to be placed on option as
against the 15-optional-p player rule
that prevailed some years before 1925.
One club out against Toole is the
Yankees of the American League.
Another is Buffalo of the Interna-
tional That makes a strange combi-
nation. The Yankees. of course, are
clamorous for Is players, because it
is money in their pockets to hold
them, and Buffalo, despite the fact
that the eight-player rule would be
more than advantageous to that team,
is working with the Yanks. The two
outfits are trying to whip Toronto
of the International into line against
Toole.
When the national agreement was
signed, after Commissioner Lands
had assumed control of base ball, it
listed the number of optional players
to be sent into the minors as eight
for each major league club. Later,
the majors began to put out 15 play
ers on option and Judge Lands sane

season of 1925, when notification was
quietly passed along in the big leagues
that only eight players could be put
on option.
Col. Rupert of the Yanks was fu-
rious because he, it seems, never got
the news that the eight-player rule
was TO be enforced. The Buffalo club
has a personal disagreement with
Toole and is willing to go along with
the Yanks.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 1o.-(AP)-For-

Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana
and British Columbia. Fires were re.
ported in Oregon near beaverton, along
the White River in the Mount Hood
national forest, near Lebanon, at Ker-
ry in the Greater Lake national forest
and in Clatsop county. The damage
Will prove to be great unless the
flames are controlled soon.
A fire near Olympia, Wash, in the
Maytown Mill Co. workings was said
to have been incendiary. This fire
had burned over 160 acres Of second
growth timber. A larger fire which
covered about $40 acres had been sur
rounded. A loss of 100000 was sus-
tanned by the Campbell River Lumber
Co. in its holdings northeast of Bell
ingham by forest fire. In the Mount
Baker. Wash, national forest 500 acres
have been burned over and the fire is
out of control.
The forest service at Missoula re-
ported all fires except one north of
Troy and Libby. Mont, where $4,000
acres have been burned over, improved.
The fire which threatened to close in
on Lady Smith, B. c., was reported
controlled less than 200 yards from

$175,OO0 Property,
Damage from Tornado
In lockwood. Calf.

lockwood, Calf, Aug. 10-(AP)-
Damage estimated at from $150,000
to $175,000 resulted from the tornado
which late yesterday ripped this lit
tie Imperial Valley town off it's
foundations. A check up Of proper
ty losses and casualties revealed to-
night that only two of the towns
approxima tely twenty buildings were
resting upon their original sites and
that five of the 500 residents were
nursing minor injuries.
Streets were still under water as
the result of the cloudburst which
accompanied the twisters and the
sky was black at sunset as bowling
gale presaged more trouble tonight
and kept most residents within easy
jumping distance of irrigation
bitches.
1t was the bitches, eye witnesses
Of yesterdays disaster relate, that
saved hundreds from serious injury
and possible death. BY taking to the
trenches when they saw two funnel
shaped clouds approaching those in
the patch of the wind kept their
heads below the line Of flying tim
bers.
The fact that the two tornadoes
met at lockwood is believed to have
saved Brawley. four miles from here
and other Imperial Valley towns
from serious damage. The .twisters
tore path pne half mile wide and
four miles long before they collided.

Judge PhilbrO0k
Speaks Before the
Local Kiwanis Club

Hon. Warren c. Philbrook, asso-
ciate, justice of the Supreme Court
of Maine. was the speaker at the
meeting of the Waterville Kiwanis
club at the Elmwood hotel last eve
ming.
Justice Philbrook spoke for the
greater part of the time on the laws
which were enacted at the last meet
ing of the State Legislature. OF the
215 laws passed he said, that n con-
cerned the fish and game of the
State and 26 were relative to the
raising of salaries of various officials
jr the employ of the State, while
still others refer to- police powers
and automobiles.
In speaking of the State police he
said that while the sheriffs depart
ment and the State police had both
worked on the enforcement OF laws
of various kinds the duties OF the
State police related largely to vio-
lations along the highways and not
within the limits of cities and towns.
The speaker was of the impress
sion that the law having to do win
the removal of signs from the hign-
WAYS of the states was radical ana
he thought that the matter might
reach the. supreme court.
other topics which he considered
were the parking of cars and the
tax which has been levied on gaso-
line.
