OVER Al U|VIV

Starting the season with s32 to
81 victory over the alumni team,
the Gonzaga basketball players
scored well-deserved victory. The
reliable Johnny Bozek and Captain
Enright were the scorers who the
Alumni cagers could not stop.
Playing from center, Bozek was
left to roam the court at viii and
he did 1t nicely. Enright led his
center in scoring with six field
goals, but Bozek, not playing 4
scoring position, got four.
The Alumni sent three young
rallies into the game, but in each
case their best efforts were just 81
bit. too short Mills showed that
he stilI had his scoring eye. He
accounted for is points for the
losers.

According TO the Dill, which Is
sponsored by the California Horse
Breeders Association, a commission
consisting. OF five members IS to be
appointed BY the Governor. This
Is similar to the regulations which
brought about the return of boxing
to the State OF California.
In fact, the procedure Of first
petitioning the populace and then
placing IT UP to a popular vote Is
identically the same as the course
pursued in securing favorable box
ing legislation for the Pacific coast
State.
The proposed bill legalizing the
operation Of the pari-mutuels and
the creation OF a racing commission
specifies that the members OF the
latter mentioned body, which must
include at least three individuals
engaged in the breeding Of horses
or livestock, is to be vested with
full power to control the sport
within the confines of the State.
To guard against possible IA
vOritism on the part Of the com
mission the stipulation is made
that no two members shall be-
long to the same State agricultural
or county fair association and
that the term of their office is to
be limited to four years.
Unlike the regulation OF racing in
other States by commissions, the
proposed governing body of Cali
fornia racing is to have complete
control over the pari-mutuels, which
are to be operated by employees Of
the commission instead of by en-,
ployes Nof the individual racing as
sociations. Provision has also been
made that the take" in no case
shall exceed 10 per cent. with the
reserving the right to
fix it at any percentage below this
figure.
The daily take for all tracks is
to be $500, except where meetings
are conducted by agricultural or fair

As to the eye. it is practically
always the same. The eye, how
ever. can not do all the hitting.
The legs have got to finish what
Is started by the eye. To fool an
old batter like Hans Wagner or
even Wilbert Robinson would be
difficult to this day. John McGraw
tells me that he can still guage
the ball as well as ever. The eye
informs the experience batter COR
rectly but the muscles, having lost
that zippy spring and the natural
ordination, can not make use or
the information.
So. in my opinion, the ballplayer,
who. after nineteen years on the
diamond declares that he is just as
good as ever is not only kidding
his listeners but is committing the
greatest mental crime of all-kid-
ding himself.
The success OF most great men
has been due to full understand
ing of their weakness or strength
and a willingness to admit it frank
Iy-at least, to themselves. Fail
ures are largely due to men Kid
ding theselves.
That willingness and ability to
understand ones self has double
advantage. The man who is wise
to his own ability. is usually wise
to that OF his opponents. 1t, Is
pretty hard to hide weakness
from an opponent who knows his
own weakness as well as his
strength.

Baseball players, like men in

New York City Woman
Severely Bitten by
& Dog in Edgewater

Mrs. Gertrude Lange of 81 West
9Sth street, New York city, was at.
tackled and severely bitten by a large
dog owned by George Hoybrauer in
Edgewater on Sunday last, and except
for the efforts of two men the young
lady might have been killed.
The dog was fastened to a wire
with a trolley arrangement which per-
mitted it to cover large area of
ground.
Mrs. Lange passed the spot in the
north end of Edgewater and thought
she was safe distance from the ami
NAL. He sprang at her, knocked her
to the ground and began tearing at
her neck and breast. She raised her
arms as protection and the animal
sank his teeth into the flesh on her
arms and on one arm tore a large
piece of flesh right off.
Her screams were. heard by two
men near by, who drove the dog off
with clubs and took her to the Edge
water police station. where the
wounds were dressed by DR.. Buckley.

N. Y. c. Health Board
Bans Bergen Celery

The Board of Health of New York
city on Wednesday last ordered the
Fish, Konicke and Yarnell celery
farms, near Hackensack, to discon-
tinue shipping their products to New
York markets because a leak in the
sewerage system of the Bergen Coun-
ty Isolation Hospital nearby caused
refuse to overflow on part of the farm
lands. Appeals for new survey were
made to the New York board and to
state officials at Trenton.
Owners of the farms, which are
among the largest in Bergen county,
claim they will suffer heavy losses by
having their products held up, one
claiming he had 5000 cases If celery,
valued at a total of $4,000, ready for
shipment.
Inspectors from New York and
Trenton surveyed the grounds and the
ban on the celery resulted.
The farmers appealed to the Bergen
County Board of Freeholders and
threatened suit for their losses. Wal
ter Kipp, director of the county board,
who went to New York to seek re-
moval of the ban, said the board has
been trying to buy a tract of land
owned by the Fish estate so that a
disposal plant could be erected.

that operating revenues of subsidiary

for June 1924 an increase of $685.

For the twelve months ending June
30 1925, operating revenue of sub
