CHAMBER AIDS
MAN TO RECOVER
FROM SHARPERS

Through the efforts of the cham
hcr of commerce, Lawrence Ryan
has been able to obtain refund Of
the purchase money which he paid
for some acreage east of Amos, ON
the main line of the Southern Pa
cific company, in the foothills of the
Chocolate Range of mountains.
Ryan had invested considerable
sum of money in the lands advcr-
tiscd by Il Los Angeles concern,
which promised to give Imperial
Valley land, with water obtainablc,
level and we'll located, at the price
Of $40 per acre. This is the type of
land which Los Angeles promoters
have of late advertised extensively,
and which the state real estate com
mission has warned against.
Ryan, after making his purchase,
decided to come to Imperial Valley
to find out what he had bought. He
called at the chamber headquarters,
intending TO get out to the land, but
after examining maps provided him,
and Il copy of the real estate com
missioner S report which Secretary
Hays showed him, he concluded his
land worthless, and concentrated his
efforts upon obtaining a refund OF
his purchase money, on the grount
of misrepresentation. With the in
formation he obtained from the
chamber of commerce, he was able
to convince the land company that
he had a case against them, and
they reluctantly repaid his money.
The chambers s directors, the real
estate commission, the realty organ
izations are all doing their utmost
to stop these sales of valueless lands
to uninformcd purchasers. Not all
such buyers are as lucky as Ryan,
for most of them lose their money
without recourse or repayment.

HuestOn Shows
Billiard Skill

Tom Hueston, world s undefeated
holder of the three-cushion crown,
left FL Centre this morning still
very much undefeated at the pocket
billiard game but loser in his 1872
balkline match with Earl Louer,
noted amateur billiardist.
Neither Hueston or Louer was
warmed up for the billiard appear
ance and il proved in a measure dis
appointing. At the same time the
boys displayed some good shots dur
ing the tussle which resulted in a
100 to 81 win for the FL Centre
player.
Louer showed better control of
the ivories throughout the match
scoring one fairly good run of %
while Hueston's best bid was a
string of 21. Lack of good equip
ment for the match was in a large
measure responsible for the short
runs made in the game.
In the afternoon performance
Hueston defeated Schanz by a
score of 10 to 6l, running % balls
at the conclusion of the contest. He
turned in 100 to 40 victory in the
night performance over the same
opponent running out from 54 to
register the win.
HNleston is a master at the pocket
billiard game. He showed complete
control of the worries throughout his
two pocket-billiard exhibitions and
at the conclusion of each of these
he gave an exhibit of trick and
fancy shots.
His play of jumping balls over
cue sticks and out of rack is re
gardcd as one of the greatest shots
given by any exponent of the pocket
billiard game.
