 INCREASED BY
 MOOSE DEFEAT

 Errors by Paps

Winning tnc.r fourth straight game, the Elks went farther into the lead in the City League when they defeated the Mooseg to 2, in a seven-inning ball game play ed at the city park last evening The Moose are now tied for eel lar place, the Legion being alone in second place, while the Miners keep the Paps company.
 While Koski allowed but two hits, his mates connected for eight bingles which, coupled with seven Moose errors. let the Bills have things their own way. How ever, good deal of the credit to the win goes to the Elks team as a whole, for Koski struck out but two men, while he walked three and made two wild pitches.
 The big Elks' heaver held the Moose hitless until the fifth, when he allowed them a single Another hit good for one sack was made in the sixth, and that ended the activities as far as the Paps were concerned.
 Heavy Hitting
 Heavy hitting was in evidence as in Sundays game, for Gene McCloskey, playing left field for the Elks, rapped out homer, Barragar connected for three bases and Orme hit for a double.
 Blake, first man up for the Bills, hit hot grounder past first base. He went to second on Bar ragar's sacrifice. Coughlin was safe at first when P. Schmitz dropped his fly. He and Blake each advanced base on a passed ball and came in on Andrews hit past first base. Henning reached first on a fielder's choice, Andy being forced at sec ond. F. Schmitz tried to double Henning at first but threw wild and Henning made second. Koski was out, Kearney to Junge.
 In the second frame McCloskey hit a single over second and con tinued to second when Shaw let the ball go past. Orme hit into right field for two sacks, McClos- key scoring. Scott was safe on first when P. Schmitz chose to field his rap to third, retiring Orme. Scott went to second when Vale fumbled Blakes grounder Both men died when Barragar and Coughlin popped out to the field.
 EIks Make Five
 McCloskey knocked home run with the bases empty to open up the fourth inning for his team. Orme was safe at first when Junge dropped Vale's throw. He went on to second and Scott was safe at first when Kearney fumbl- ed his grounder. Blake hit grounder through second, scoring Orme and sending Scott to third.

He stole second and scored with Scott when Barragar slammed a hot triple into left field. The ball was on the ground most of the way but was too fast for the fielders to reach. He scored when Coughlin sacrificed Andrews flew out to Jernberg, and Henning was retired, Vale to Junge.
 Moose excitement came in the sixth. F. Schmitz hit into center field and continued to second when Orme chased the ball and got tangled up with it. He took third on a wild pitch. Kearney was given a pass and advanced to second on Nello's out, Koski to Andrews. P. Schmitz was safe on first when Andrews booted his grounder, F. Schmitz scoring and Keaney going to third. The lat ter came home on fielder's choice, when Barragar took Vale s rap to second, retiring P. schmitz. Jernberg was out. Henning to An drews.
 One More Run
 In their half of the same fame the Elks scored again. With one away Barragar walked. He stole the next two bases while Junge, who relieved P. Schmitz in the last of the fifth inning, pitched to Coughlin. Coughlin was safe at first when B. Schmitz dropped his fly. Andrews single into left scored Barragar and put Cough lin on third. Andy stole second. Henning fouled out to Nello and Koski was out, Junge to P. Schmitz.

plaheo what ne hopes to do all conspired strength
On his position as a candidate for the presidency.
1t was the speech of straight forward American
gentleman capable of unusually clear thinking with
luII realization OF the problems confronting his
country and with definite plan by which an attempt
may be made to remedy these problems
Touching on what considered the major issues
IN the mpalgn-prohibition and farm relief-he
asserted the Constitution demands that the former
be upheld, at the time declaring the need fo,
an organized searching investigation of fact and
cause connected with 1t regards the latter he ask
ed why nation spending ninety billion dollars a wear
cannot afford few hundred millions to solve nrob-
lem which directly affects one--i->. of the people
Pointing out The better living conditions which the
haloh mas enjoyed IN the past eight years, he en-
phazed the necessity of conducting governmental af
lalrS IN such way that when asks himself if

his children, because of Republican administrator
the answer can be yes
He praised the staunch Americansm of the labor
unions and upheld the principle collective bargain
lng declaring that having bad toll himself he is
sympathetic with those who earn their bread bv the
sweat of their brow.
Hardening back to the persecution of his own
Quaker ancestors he dealt resoundng rebuke to those
who breed intolerance by raising objection to any mans
regous belief and stated the glory of American ideals
is the right OF every to worship God according to
the dictates of his own conscience.

unique in American politics.
The keen mind of the trained engineer outlined
the plans for waterway Improvement, flood control
development Of hydro-electric power and irrigation
all for the ultimate object of making the United
States better place in which live, and relieving
the toll of the masses.
Even the voice Of the speaker emphasized this
humanitarian spirit. 1t not the voice of the ex-

trained eIocuuonst could find much fault with its
delivery. But the millions who heard it recognized
the voice of plain, honest sincere thinker making an
offer to lead the way to all who would to follow

THEY CONE THIS WAY

Is the southern route to California from the east
popular?
The answer is found in the report of Frank G.
Shook, chief of the state division of motor vehicles
for the month Of July, showing that more than 5000
tourists entered the state during that month at Yuma
This was larger than the number reported by any
of the other five stations which the division maintains
at points along the states border.
Few of these tourists remained in Imperial Valley,
their first glimpse Of California. They continued on,
westward TO San Diego, nOrthward to Los Angeles.
If westward they had little cause to complain Of
roads - northward they had the narrow and there
fore dangerous road via Saton Sea route. The Cali
fornia highway commission has stated that improve
ment OF this road is lis list OF major operations.
It also hopes eventually to widen the desert road from
Yuma to Hotville, The traffic these roads bear,
borne out by Chief SnoOks figures. proves that they
merit immediate attention.
And why did few Of these tourists remain in In
pcrial Valley?
That is question that should interest every civic
body in the valley united effort by all these bodies
TO boost Imperial Valley instead OF their individual
communities would result in tourists becoming
