Harris bunch of Nationals,

in the struggle for third place
in the American League race,

noon at the outfit that has been the
easiest for them this year. by cop

that will end the season in Boston.
they ought to be so we'll intrenched in
the show position that the Tigers VIII
be unable to oust them.
Carrigau's Red SoX, who only last
week came near sweeping the series
with the White SoX and played the
best ball that any Red Sox team mas
plaved on the home grounds In recent
years, slid from the sublime to the
ridiculous yesterday, and the crowd
who came prepared to cheer them on
in their double-header with the Ma
tionals left the ball park in anything
but a jubilant mood. All season long
the Sox have been easy plucking for
Bucky Harris men, but yesterday they
were literally trampled into the dust.
Red Sox Flop Afeld.
Losing the first decision by score
of I to y, they were showed under IN
the second where they took the count
by the tally of IL to l and here Car
rigan's men came pretty near to eStab-
fishing a modern ma jor league record.
Ten errors in this one game, 1lVe OF
them made in the very first inning,
was the sad tabulation.
The Nationals made in this contest
only one more hit than the local
error column. Had not the Harris
horde tired Of running about the
bases the score would have been
sadder still.
Bucky Harris recruits. Foster Gan
eel in the outfield and Grant Gillis
at shortstop, performed impressively.
Camel, who was given a brief lnspec-
ton by the Red SoX a few years back,

UNITED PRESS
LEASED WIRE IS
PRESS FEATURE

Visitors to the Press plant have
on frequent occasions, expressed
wonder and admiration at the
operation of the Emitted Press leas-
ed wire, which furnishes news from
all parts of the world to newspap
ers throughout the country.
The Press receives full report
each day from the United Press
bureau, the bulletins being received
over the printertelegraph, ma
chine which has been referred to
as "a typewriter with with 2 col
lege edacatiOn.'
When the leased wire was first
installed. an operator was on duty
in. the Press office, receiving the
news over an ordinary telegraph
wire and tipping it out on an ordin-
airy typewriter.
This method was costly and not
althogether efficient, About four
years ago the United Press decided
to do away with the operators and
substitute the printer telegraph.
The Press is equipped with two Of
these machines, one being used as a
regular and the other for emergeD-
cies, when trouble occurs on the
main line.
The machine is operated from
Los, Angeles, a single operator on a
sending machine controlling ma
chine similar to those here on some
20 or more newspapers throughout
Southern California and as far
north as Santa Barbara. Beyond
that point the machines are operated
from. San Francisco.

important steps in the city 9 devel-

For several years past the exist

ca as an impediment TO the city's
natural direction of expansion-to
the west.
With the completion Of the court
house two years ago, the westward
development set in, and has been
steady ever since that time. Nj
mer0us residences have been built
in the territory Immediately south
Of the courthouse and west Of the
ditch.
Those residing in this section
have all been forced TO cross the
ditch in order to get into the bust
ness section, unless they travelled
by way Of man tfeet. The same
condition exists in the Stone AID
dition area. north Of Main street
and west e6f~ihe ditch.

Atreet developing along commercial
lines. the need for doing away with
the ditch on strictly economic lines,

greater than that which has been
noted in the past five years.
