In the first eleven frames JOnn-
son allowed three hits, singles by
Lamar, Bishop and sSihmons. In
those eleven frames eight of the
innings but one pass came from
Barney, Bishop walking in the
ninth.
And Ed Rommel was giving
Johnson's supporters about the
same thing through all those first
eleven innings. Three hits. singles
by Joe Harris, Sam Rice and Joe
Judge, and passes to Bluege. Bucky
Harris and Judge, the latter inten-
tional, were the sum total of the
Griffs' efforts against Connie
Mack's great hurler.
|, with the twelfth the strain
seemed to be telling upon both
pitchers and the break" which
would give the edge to one o.
the other threatened continually.
Lamar singled and reached third
only to be left when COchrane
lifted to Rice. The Griffs filled
the bases on singles by Judge
and Bluege and pass to Myer,
only TO have T0bin force Judge
ut the plate and johnson fly TO
French.
In the thirteenth again the Griffs
threatened to jam over that needed
tally. Rice singled and was sac
rificed to second. An intentional
pass to Goslin brought up Moon
Harris who bounded to Rommel.
Another intentional pass to Judge
filled the corners and Bluege's pop
fIy to Dykes followed. That was a
close shave for Rommel.
In the fourteenth French doubled
to left with one out, moving over
to third on Simmons fly. Hauser
walked, and both runners were left
when Cochrane flied to Goslin.
The break" came in the fifteenth
and in the twinkling of an eye
all the remarkable pitching offered
by the Mackman was wiped away
as the big crowd stood and roared.
Rice lined q low one to Hauser
for an out. but Bucky Harris
slapped q single to center. GosIin,
who had done little or nothing all
day, came : through with drive
Ito the rfghtfield fence for two
i bases and the Washington manager
was perched upon third base,
Up came Moon Harris, who had
hbeen SO despised by Ronlnels in
the thirteenth. This time he took
Iisweet revenge by betting a single

with the one and most golden run
of the game.

FRENCH RACE oFFEC GALS !,
ADOPT RAGING MACHINES

The officials OF sixteen different
French race courses have decided to
install totalisators at their race
tracks to replace the present pari-
mutual machines IN vogue there.
The totAlisators are more accurate
than the mutuels. recording the ef-
feet OF each individual bet on the
odds on each horse.
Among the tracks on which the
new machines will be installed are
Auteuil, st. Cloud and Maison la
Witte. The totalisators are being
used at present on all the principal
race courses In Australia

200 Years 400
and NOW! .

Ihree-quarters of century before the
American Revolution, a group of Fran
cisan Monks braved the unknown to
blaze trail into New Spain" Fired by
their zeal, they penetrated far inland,
and planted the Cross on the banks of
beautiful, rushing river.
Under their tutelage, irrigation bitches
were dug to water little mission gar
den, and on summer day one might
have seen Indians squatting beside the
robed figures, diverting water into the
rows green with foodstuffs. Thus was
irrigated farming born in America-on
a tract outside of San Antonio, known
now as Mission Espada.
The passage of time has confirmed the
Judgment and wisdom of those pioneers.
Today, beginning within IS miles of the
spot where irrigated farming was first
practiced in America are the broad
stretching acres of Medina Valley Farms,
watered by the greatest irrigation sys-
tenn in the Southwest.
Builders of the Medina enterprise
showed their faith in the undertaking by
investing more than $7,5oo,ooo in &C
quiring lands and constructing an irri-
CATION system to supply them with life
giving water. There are 4o,244 irriga-
bic acres in the Medina holdings, water
ed by gravity flow from Medina Lake,
strong reservoir of immense capacity.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-04-18

1t was only recently that the enterprise
was taken out of a federal receivership.
freed of all encumbrances and turned
over to trustees, who have decided to sell
the lands at bargain prices and on very
liberal terms, and thus stop carrying
charges on the tremendous investment.
Opening of the Medina Valley Irrgat-
ed Farms to colonization presents re-
markable opportunity for farmers, home
seekers and investors to reap benefit of
the prosperity wave that is now sweep
ing South Texas. The farms are being
sold in units of 20, 40 and 80 acres, at
prices ranging from $I5o to $500 an
acre, dependent on location, etc.
These rich farm lands are located only
IS to 81 miles-an hours drive-from
San Antonio. city of $4,000 people
and the metropolis of Texas.
Farming is n successful year-around bust
ness here. Soil is of great fertility, well
adapted to raising crops of all kinds The
water supply is EXISTING and VISIBLE.
Transportation facilities are ideal, the farms
being situated between the main lines of the
Southern Pacific and I-G N. railroads and
linked with San Antonio by paved state high
way. No farm is more than AZ miles from
a shipping point.
Probably never before has land proposition
of such merit-and one of such potential profit
been before farmers and investors. Your
careful consideration is invited. Send for our
free illustrated booklet, or better still arrange
to personally inspect the property.

follows: Aldrich 4O1; Mccain 171; Sutherland 785. For Sen ator, LeFevre 582; Steel 486. On that same date the Empire gave the returns from 21 pre- cincts as follows: Aldrich 443; Mccain 198; Sutherland 1,276. For Senator, LeFevre 675; Steel 898. So we find a marked pre- judice against Sutherland and Steel in the untruthful reports sent out from "30" precincts, when returns had only been received from 21 precincts. Of course figures don't lie-with honest people. Is it any wond- CT that the editors of the Elm pire are in disrepute with the people who knows of their tricks.

dates, does that warrant the untruthful Troy in publishing that "The white people of the First division must unite. The welfare of the Territory, its homes and schools and it's civilization are the stakes" And then Stroller prattles on and declares that Judge Le- Fevre and Mrs. Gray were sacrificed on the altar of auto cratic dictation, crucifed on the cross of Indian illiteracy."
 Think of the hypocrisy of these editors who are fooling the people of Juneau. They themselves aforementioned ed itors, were pledged to vote for Marquam for Delegate and the full Independent Legislative ticket. Had Mrs. Gray and Judge LeFevre been nominated in the primary then which can didates would Troy and White cruelty in November? It is unthinkable that hundreds of intelligent, and most of them fair-minded, citizens of Juneau, can allow themselves to be nis- lead by the tools of corpora tions who only seek their own financial aggrandizement, to the detriment of the whole com munity. Their followers seem to like to allow themselves to be lead like sheep to the slaughter. But their good, com mon sense will come to their rescue some day.
 Not only does the local Organ deliberately deceive the voters of Juneau in many ways but its pernicious deception is carried to every section of the Territory. As the representa- tive here of the Associated Press the Empire wires important news The day after the primary these papers, under a Juneau date line of April 28 stated: "Pro- bably representing 60 per cent of the total for 51 precincts, show the vote for Delegate as

 mary returns. Does it not seem a little presumptuous on the part of Editor Troy to attempt to advise the Indians how they cannot become "competent Chris tian citizens," while at the same time he falsif1es the FACTS with reference to the early returns. He would give his readers to believe that the tremendous" vote received by Judge LeFevre and Mrs. Gray in Juneau and the Channel precincts were only overcome when the Indian precincts re- ported. As a matter of fact from the returns first publish ed on Wednesday night Steel for Senator and Paul for Rep resentative were both in the lead, without counting any Indian precinct, and have so continued. The same is true, of Delegate Sutherland, to an even greater extent. And yet every night the vail has gone up that the Indian voters legally exercising their rights of cit izenship, are thwarting the will of the intelligent(?) Troy dupes.
 Here is a list of the white precincts so far reporting their votes: Juneau, Douglas, Tread we'll, Thane, Salmon Creek, Mendenhall, Jualpa, Skagway, Haines, Petersburg, Wrangell, Craig, Ketchikan, Charcoal Point and Reville, and they had practically all reported by Wednesday. And to the candi- dates whom the Organs here are so much concerned about these white votes were distri- buted as follows: Aldrich 431; Mccain 156; Sutherland 918; LeFevre 66O; Steel 675; Mrs. Gray 698, Paul 8O5. There may have been a few Indian votes cast in some of these precincts. Judge LeFevre re- ceived IA in the third Juneau precinct.
 From these Figures is there any justification for the rav- ings of Troy that Paul with his thousand votes nominated his personally hand-picked ticket" and that he "nominat- ed it alone and single-handed.' y
