Three Sisters Excite Envy
of Masculine Neighbors
With Success.

TURLOCK, Cal, Nov. 19-Three
young women, typically modern,
have melted the envy and admira-
ton of farmers of this region.
In fact, the Austin sister-violet,
Lily and May-have begun what
may eventually constitute serious
threat to masculine prestige in rural
California.
The old theory of masculine SUI
premacy in agriculture has received
knockout blow from Violet, Lily
and May on their 100-acre ranch
near here.
Not content with owning the
ranch, the three girls run it. They
have scorned male help, and in
doing SO, donned the denim and
journeyed forth to the fields.
They pillow and irrigate the land,

Of land; irrigated it: narrowed it;
planted it; cultivated the growing

Not satisfied with that, the three
girls MIXED 40 COWS twice daily;
filled bitches; raised 80 acres of al

raised turkeys and did a thousand

DON'T FALL FOR
YULETIDE GIFT
MAIL SCHEME
If You Didn't Send Order
for Merchandise, Don't
Pay for It.

II the Blankety-Blank Company
mails you its merchandise around
the holiday season you're not liable
for payment of the unordered mer-
chandise in court-providing you've
refrained from putting the mer-
chandise to use.
This is the word from the Indian
apolis Better Business Bureau.
Reports have been received by
the bureau Of the practice of some
firms Of sending neckware, hosiery,
and other articles to persons with
out first receiving orders for the
merchandise sent. In some cases
attempts have been made to col
lect for the merchandise.
In a statement the bureau says:
Frequently we are asked by re-
cipients of unordered articles If
they should pay for it. We wish
to advise that receivers Of unordered
merchandise are under no legal OBJ
legation to pay for such merchan-
disc nor to return it. OF course, If
the articles are used, then the user
might be liable for payment, but
in turn the sender in a very short
time is liable for storage charges.
THE only obligation incurred"
continues the bureau, lis for the
receiver of unordered articles to
give it reasonable care for rea-
sonab'e length Of time.
"As Christmas approaches" the
bureau asserts, fountain pens,
neckties, Christmas cards, etc, are
sent by operators of this method
Of selling, with the hope that some
of the receivers will remit.
quite often the price is more
than asked for similar merchandise
in local stores. To help stop this
annoyance, unordered merchandise
should not be paid for unless it is
used"

 Behind this masterful pitching, the Kensington team, no doubt inspired, played a stellar brand Of baseball, Every man on the team got at least one hit.

SUFF|ELD SWAMPS
 BURR|TT OUTFIT
High Wind Hampers Players on
 Both Clubs During Game

The high wind which famed the dust covered Washington school grounds marred the game between the Burritt and Suffield teams yester- day and took the elements of a con- test from the affair. The final score was 2 and in favor of the visitors The local team suffered most from the weather conditions although the visitors were also hampered consid- erably.
 Practically every ball that went into the air was carried so far by the wind that it was impossible for a fielder to catch it and when drives hit the hard ground in the outfeld they were good for extra bases as they would roll so fast and bound in such a manner that the fielders had hard job stopping them.
 Although the visitors started off as though they would walk away with the game by scoring six times in the first inning as the result of two home runs the Burritts changed the complexion of the affair by tying the score in the second inning.
 The losers went two ahead in the third but the visitors got these back and an extra one in their half of the fourth. In the last half of the same frame the winners tied the count and in the following session seWed the game up when they count ed seven times.
 For the last five innings the Bur ritts bats were silenced by the fine hurling of Flynn while his mates managed to add three more counters to their total.
 The Burritts used three hurlers during the game. Reading from left to right they arc Bruno Kania, Johnny Rose and Al Havlick. They all did better than the score would indicate but the support afforded them by their mates was too much Of handicap for them to overcome,
 Although the Burritts hit hard throughout the contest the winners were better with the stick getting l9 safe blows to r for the locals. McCarthy, of the visitors, was the hitting leader connecting with five safe. blows.

FALCONS SWAMPED
 BY BRISTOL TEAM
Freak Wind Storm Turns Game
 Into a Weird Exhibition

A freak wind storm heavily laden with dust swept over St. Marys field yesterday afternoon and turned the so-called baseball game between the Falcons and the Maple Ends of Bris- tol into a weird spectacle of wild throws, hit batsmen. bases on balls and everything else that tends 10 create poor baseball. The storm came up unexpectedly and gave the fans a mild exhibition of a sand" storm Cloud after cloud of dust roll ed across the diamond and it was necessary 10 stop the game time after time as the players became en- veloped in the dust. The wind kept up during the entire game and fans left the field wondering just what is best to say that the Maple Ends were victorious 14 to 4.
 So heavy was the wind that the outfielders played within 20 feet of the infeld. A batter would lift a fly to left field and a second later. the right fielder would be making fran tic attempts to catch the sphere The balls did every trick known to an innings. both teams were on ner- Vous edge because of their strenuous efforts to bag the ball when hit. Throws in the infield took freak curves and the pitchers were almost in danger when the ball whirled in their direction.
 The spectators were heavily cover ed with dust and when the battle was over presented a sorry appear ance. Many a dry-cleaning establish ment will receive call today.
 Returning to the attempted base ball game, it was found at the con- clusion that there were 12 errors, nine bases on balls, five wild pitches. five hit batsmen and about 40 errors of omission. Ii is a wonder that any outs were made. The pitchers, Haber and Berg, must be given credit for working under the conditions that they did for it was a terrible tax on their arms.
 The visitors scored twice in the opening session and the Falcons countered once. After the wind had got through playing with the ball in the third inning, the visitors had seven runs across the plate. From then on the game was a maddening battle against time.
 Walter kopec was injured twice during the game and was forced to retire to right field, Johnny" klatka donning the mask behind the plate, He did a good job and also belted out two hits. The Maple Ends garnered 14 hits off Haber but at least of them should have been easy outs. On a good day, a battle between these two teams would be worth while watching.

Americans Battle Today for
 British WOInen'S Net Title

Wimbledon, Eng. July } P,-For the first time in Wimbledon's lon; history the British womens singles tennis finals found two Americans battling for the title today.
 Helen Wills, the defending cham pion, and her fellow-C Californian, Helen Jacobs, entered the final round by overwhelming victories over English opponents in the semi finals yesterday Miss Wills dropped cnly two games in eliminating Elsie Goldsacl<, 6-2. so. Miss Jacobs was no less impressive in putting out Joan Ridley, co, e..
 Miss Wills was heavy f5~orite 10 win her third straight Wimhle- don cham pionship but many experts counted on Miss Jacobs to make more of fight of it than she did pionships last year. She was able to win only three games from Miss Wills when the Berkeley star cap tured her fifth American title at Forest Hills last fall, losing G., 6-1.
 Although the finals of the mem S singles on Saturday will be an all French affair between Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra. England still has chance to win the women S doubles, the mixed doubles and the mems doubles.
 In the latter event, Great Britain's S representatives in the finals, I. G.. Collins and J. C. Gregory, battle the youthful Americans, Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn for the cham pionship tomorrow.
 The United States has no repre- sentative in the Womens' doubles but Miss Wills and Frank Hunter still remain to carry on in the mixed doubles.

PHANTOMS BATTER
 OUT WIN OVER '
Hodge Gets Poor Support ill
 Junior City League Game
StDIlfiiDp

A big inning, the seventh, in which the Phantoms scored five runs on two hits, a series of mis- plays and balk, gave them plenty of runs to make a safe margin of victory over the Y. NJ. C. A. com bination at Walnut Hill park We'd nesday night in Junior City league game. At the time of the rally, the "" team was leading two to one and seemed on it's way 10 make a bid for another victory.
 Hodge for the Y. NJ. C. A. and Baylock for the Phantoms hooked up in a pretty pitching duel The " twirler had the better of the argument as far as effectiveness goes as he allowed only six hits to eight scored by his mates off of Baylock, but shaky support, espe- cially at critical times. and errors totalling five, put him in the losing column by the score at to 3.
 Heavy hitting featured the con- test with six triples and a homer being rapped out during the nine innings. Two of the triples were. in reality, singles which Hayes made great bids on to catch them at his shoestrings. Getting away from him, the runners circled the bases stop ping at third each time.
 Keeping the Phantoms under cover in the first inning, the "" scored two counters when George Meligonis rappcd a triple to left and his brother, Chris, slammed cir cult drive into the same territory. The Phantoms came back to score one in the second when Fetzko muffed a fly in center and karaty followed him with triple to left.
 In the third. fourth, fifth and sixth innings, neither team was able to score, the "" keeping it's lead behind the splendid pitching of Hodge.
 Then the storm broke in the seventh. Lipman walked and stole second. He went to third as O'Brien was being tossed out at first. Cohen famed but Karaty sent a blow into left field which got away from Hayes for a triple. Two men were out and the score was tied. Balock rolled an easy one to Recano at third but he misjudged the ball and karaty scored while Baylock was safe at first. A runner was sent in for the pitcher and he stole second. He +Nl1 l,,. balk by Hodge at this stage, sent the runner on third home and Tru- han to second.
 Sokoloski walked and he and Tru- han executed a neat double steal. Levine's single brought the two of them home. Buchas famed to end the inning.
 Weird throwing gave the Phan- toms another in the eighth when O'Brien singled. stole second. went to third on bad throw into the out field by Berlin and scored as Fetzko threw wildly to third to catch him going into the bag. The "Y'' also scored one in the eighth when Re- cano tripled. Hultberg walked and stole second. Ferony singled into left and Recano scored. Hultberg was out at the plate by a mile on a beautiful throw home by Truman from left field. Truman ended the scoring in the ninth when he singled, stole second and third and rode home on Sokoloski's hit.
 Iruhan's peg home was the field ing gem of the game. The Mcli- gonis brothers were the heavy bit- ters for the losers while Sokoloski and karaty Whaled the ball mighti- iy for the winners The summary.
