LAREW TELLS OF
STEPS PLANNED
IN POWER FIGHT

Plans for aiding the state rail
road commission in its fight against
the injunction suit brought by the
Southern Sierras Power company
relative to power rates in Imperial
Valley, were formulated at meet
ing Of representative of various
Southern California municipalities
in Los Angeles yesterday.
J. S. Larew, city attorney of FL
Centre, represented this city at the
conference, having been designated
by the city council to represent
them.
The Southern Sierras company has
filed petition with the federal court
for an injunction to restrain the
railroad commission from forcing
the power company to charge. the
rates set by the commission for the
Holton Power company in 1920, the
latter concern since having been alb
sorbed by the Southern Sierras.
The conference yesterday decided
that the various municipalities and
civic organizations represented,
should file NI17erveners With the
court in behalf of the railroad com
mission. The latter, as trustees of
the peoples pigs-s, has decided
against an increase in the power
rates, and it was pointed out at the
conference that it is the moral duty
of the communities. involved, tC
stand with the commission in the
present action.
Interveners can be filed up tt
June ], and a date for hearing tn,
petition viii be established subse
quent to that date.

r. +. Campbell and Company bid
par, with accrued interest, and Il
premium of $253.50.
The Municipal Bond company bid
par, accrued interest, and pre-
MUM of 800.
The fact that each bond house
submitting a bid, offered a pre-
mium for the bonds, was very graft
fyipg to the members of the city
council The closeness of the bids
made by the successful bidder and
Campbell and Company, indicated
that these houses had studied the
situatioi<carefully.
No action was taken relative to
the bids on the paving of Main,

streets, and this matter will come
up for consideration at the regular
meeting Wednesday night.

Once while George Stallings
was managing Boston he signed
q collegian who had been both
4 pitcher and a football player.
One day it looked as # he
might have to send him in.
Get out there and warntup,
he ordered, and again became
absorbed in the game. a few
moments later he was sure he'd
need the .collegian, but the boy
seemed to have vanished.
"Where is that fool?" de-
manded StaIlings.
''There he isl" chorused the
players, pointing to a figure
skirting the right field wall.
Hes run around the park once
already"
The boy had taken the COM

CL Y|N|ER GENIUS
RAGING U|NP

The average fan loves to have
the players and manager OF the
home club crab and baw1 out the
umpire. To many fans this is an
outward manifestation Of the desire
to win. To satisfy this peculiar
angle OF the fans temperament,
some managers and players pull off
comedy conversations with the
umpire, which have all the outward
marks of, a real argument, accom-
panied by wild gestures and fero-
cious facial contortions.
Bill Clymer, famous minor league
manager of the past, and now man.
ager of the Buffalo club, was a
wonder at this phantom grabbing.
He would rush up to the jumps Yet
the slightest pretext and, shaking
his finger in the arbiter's face,
shout, "You promised to send me
six fish and you only sent me five!'
and other absurd remarks.
This made great hit with the
fans. who couldn't hear a word he
said. Alta boy, Bill, tell him about
it---give him the devil!' they'd
shout.

tain afternoon the team played
on q bush league diamond. The
infieId was passable, but the
outfieId was little better than a
dump.
Along about the fifth Jack
son came galloping in from his
position in the, outfield and de-
nlanded the name Of the owner
Of the park. On being told,
jackson, who was playing in
his stocking feet, said: We'll,

Again viii Clash
In Early Series

The Giants and Griffmen will
meet again in tremendously
interesting series Of spring
games. These compelling bat
ties will prove whether enough
Southern fans will pay admis-
sion partially to defray train
ing expenses. The last two
games of the series viii also
prove whether good weather
may be found at the, capital
early in April. Beyond that,
they prove nothing.
You never will find veteran

But we were speaking Of the
short duration Of a ball player
career. As we were talking to
Groh, the veteran. it seemed but
yesterday that Heinie made his
first appearance at the Polo
Grounds. He was a rudy. chubby

today. Most Of the writer's took
him for a new mascot.
During the game he sat on the
outside Of the dugOut and helped

bats. In fielding practice he
showed q lot of fancy stuff at

body wrote that "sOme day the
new Giant mascot viii make .

That started an argument in the
press box as to whether Heinie was
a mascot or player. and we finally
put it up to- McGraw.

McGraw "Kinsella sent him in from
Decatur. He's small, but like the
way he handles himself"

Groh became quite i'll and had to
knock off for the rest Of the season.

EASTERN MAY
SHOW WAY

A game that may have much
bearing on the District scholastic
basketball championship will be
played in the Eastern High School
gymnasium at 3 o'clock. The
Easternites are. to mingle with
Gonzaga at thatS hour.
Eastern seems to be one of the
strongest teams In the city and
Gonzaga does not rate any long
odds. A defeat for either team to-
day may mean that the other will
be the city champion, always, of
course, keeping in mind the fact
that Central has to be beaten in
such a case.
Eastern will figure in another
game at 8 o'clock when the Alumni
team meets the varsity team.
Guyon has a large squad and the
boys are all in good condition.
They can we'll stand the two-game
period.
