CLEAR BUILDERS

i workman met hts death yesterday
when concrete flooring was pre-
cipitated into the cellar.
The method OF supporting the
slab was not the best, bur was
done in accordance with the exist.
ing practice. Everything was well
nailed and fairly well braced, end
I would saw that ali reasonable
precautions were taken to avoid ac-
cident said AL a. Rogers. assistant
building inspector who was sent To
the scene Immediately following the

Rogers reported that ii was i'm.
possible to determine the exact
cause OF the collapse because fire.
men had cleaned away the debris in
recovering the body Of the dead
man.
He listed for Colonel Ladue In.
formation four possible reasons for
the collapse. They are:
Il the cross-bracing had not been
thoroughly tackled to all the. sup.
ports, the unsupported length Of
the column was too great for the
radius of gyration.
a loaded wheelbarrow Of material
colliding with one Of the supports
would have had sufficient inertia
to have knocked same down when
probably would have pulled the en-
tire bay with It. due to the cross
braeing.
They had dug trench here. be.

terials. As far as / could ascertain
from inspection Of the neighboring
shores, the ground was Of sufficient
strength to carry the load 1t may
possibly have beea that there was
a soft place near the scene of the
collapse causing settlement Of cne
or more OF the supports.
The wheeling Of heavy bussies of
concrete on the platform NAV have
caused loads OF such concentrated
nature as to cause failure of the top

(I.N.S. Another drama Of

Cartoons Becoming
More Valuable
For Everyone

Cartoons add life and color to-
newspapers and magazines, or to
any other reading matter. They give
the observer an idea of political
situations, help him to understand
them, and inform him of existing
conditions. If anything is to be
satirized and brought before the
public, cartoons can be used to do
so without injuring anyone's pride
or feeling.
There are great number of
people in the U. S. who cannot read
or write. Pictures are their teachers
and sources of amusement. These
people gain a great deal Of study
ing cartoons, although, at times,
they do not understand the full
meaning and value of certain ones.
Immigrants who come to this
country cannot speak English, and
do not know what is before them.
During this precarious time they
need sympathy, consolation and
help from an understanding person.
Pictures supply the necessary con-
ISOLATION that keeps them bear bur-
dens of uncertainty, worry, and sor-
row. At this critical period in there
lives, little humor is needed. Car
toons supply humor for them and
make life seem much brighter.
A good cartoonist will make from
five thousand to fifty thousand dol
lars year. Besides smiling him.
self through life, he has to provide
smile for his fellow men. "The life
with a smile is the life worth while"
is probably the motto of many car
toonists. To get paid for creating
smiles is very interesting and pro-
fitable way of making livelihood.

IRON MAN JOE
M'CINNTTY GETS
FINAL SUMMONS
Famous Old Time Giant
Pitcher Was Star For
Many Years.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA. W.n)--Joe
McGinnity, baseball's famous "lrof
Man, died at his home in Breeklyn
early today.
The athlete, who won fame years
ago by pitching and winning double
headers, had been i'll for some time
and several days ago physicians an
ncunced only his tremendous vitality
was keeping him alive.
McGinnity has been suffering from
tumor for several months.
His daughter, Mrs. Margaret Lap
pen, and her husband, A. c. Lappen,
were at the bedside.
Born in Rock Island, Ill, Marcli
10, 1873. McGinnity began his base
bali career ls years later with a
semi-pro team in Van Buren,, Ark.
alter he pitched for the Montgem-
cry, Ala, team, but gave up baseball
in favor of the saloon business be
cause he did not think he was a
natural athlete.
During the four years that he was
in tae saloon business, MeGinnity
p'aa.ed baseball on Sundays and hol-
idavs-chiefiy for his own diversion
1t was during those four years that
he perfected the delivery that came
to be known as "Old Sal'', slow,

underhand ball that slanted towards
the plate and broke upward.
His success with odd Sal" led Me.
Ginnity to try baseball again and
soon he was pitching fer the Peoria
team of the western league. A HINT
of future greatness came when he
pitched 81 inning game against st.
Joseph. ln 1899 McGinnity signed
with the Orioles and the next year
went to the Brooklyn club where he
won IS games and lost IL.
1t was then that fans began to
call him "1ren Man Joe" because of
the tireless pitching that enabled
him to win five games in SIX days.
Coached Matty
Eventually John MeGraw, who
was with the Orioles at that time.
took over the New York Giants and
MeGinnity went with him to that
team. On the club at that time was
a raw boned pitcher who seemed TO
lack experience, SO "lron Man joe
began instructing the youngster IN
working on the batters and fielding
his position. Later the youngster
became known as Christy Mathewson
and until 1905. he and McGinntH
bore the chief burden of pitching for
the Giants.
In 1908 "Iron Man Joe" worked
in three doubleheaders during Aug
ust-against Brooklyn. Boston and
Philadelphia-and won them all. In
1905 the Giants released him after
he had won AIS major league games
and compiled a lifetime, big league
record of 900.
For a time "Iron Man Joe" was
manager and president of the New
ark club of the international league.
Even then he found time to pitch
often enough to win % and lost 10
in his first year there. The year
1913 found him with Tacoma of the
northwestern league where in two
years he won AZ games and lost 40.
'1ren Man Joe" was still throwing
them up to the hatters four years
ago, when, at the age of 90, he was
foeling them with his headwerk after
time and wear on his muscles had
taken the jump out of "Old SAL"

AT LEAST THREE
GOOD SCRAPS ON
FRIDAYS CARD

The fur should fly tomorrow night
at the Imperial Valley Athletic efub
when Rito D'Punay, Filipino sensa-
tion, and Leonard Porter, not a sem
sation but a mighty good boxer, ran
gle in the 10 round main event.
D'Punay got eff to rather poor
start here by dropping a decision to
Homer Gaines few weeks ago, ana
is out to make Porter pay for the
loss. Porter is nobody's easy mark
and has shown in three fights here
with Teddy Palaeios that he is n
capable boxer, with plenty of speed
and science.
Tony Ruiz and Homer Gaines, who
appear in the six round semi-final,
also are due to show the fans a
thing or two in plenty of action and
if Gaines travels like he did the
night he met p'Punay, Mr.. Ruiz is
in tor busy time of it. Ruiz is
no sct-up for the colored boy and
many fan will wager his dime that
the Mexican scrapper can take
Homer.
The bout that is attracting plenty
of attention is the special six round
re-mateh between jess Vasquez of
Santa Ana and Jimmy Alvarado of
Hollywood. These boys put on Il
torrid affair last week, Alvarado
getting the nod by shade, and the
fans demanded another chance to
see the pair in action. There is no
doubt that they will see one of the
best bouts of the season.
De La Fuente of Mexicali and
Maurice Majhoney of Holtville, will
open the show.
Everything has been fixed fer
the comfort of the fans, the canvas
covering over the arena being com
'p'eted and heating apparatus in
stalled. Those who attended last
weeks card were surprised at the
comfortable conditions and wondered
