MEXICO NOT TO
BAN AMERICAN
MONEY OR SIGNS

san DIEGO. Calf, Oct. %. UP

their dollars in -@juana.
Reports that Gov. y. Bernal haC
issued ban on United States money
and had ordered all present signs

Gus today.
The Mexican language newspaper
FL Hispano Americana today pub
iished AN interview with Governor
Bernal which explained the recen;
order issued in the governor 5 move
to assist in the NeXicanization of
Tijuana.
The governor has ordered street
name signs to be in Mexican. He

The order regarding money per

chandise. Merchants displaying
goods for sale must price the goods

First word of the governor 5 order
created a small panic among Tijuana
business men who feared they would
have to tear down expensive clec-
tric signs and .hav" others, with only
Mexican words, built and would be
faced with the necessity of refusing
to accept United States money for

The Red Birds, who today are

decided upon Wild Bill HaIlahan
as pitching selection. Connie

rumor has it that Philadelphia s
ace Of aces, left-handed Bob Grove,
will be nominated to virtually
clinch the series.
Conflicting reports regarding
the selection Of an Athletic pitch

ters it is claimed that Manager
Mack may use either Rube Wal.

and come back with his Southpaw

Singularly enough both Grove
and HalIahan, specialize in speed
and a sharp breaking hook. And
are left handed.
Despite his nickname, wild

It may just be that things
will take q turn for the better
for the st. Louis Blues when
they get out in their old home
town on the slippery banks Of
the muddy Mississippi, and If
they don't take some such turn,
it's going to be simply "ah wah, "
for they can't turn any worse
than they are now, what with

Sittin' through a couple Of

mas dawned upon us that two
things have been strictly against
the st. Louis Blues so far in
this series. We don't claim that
this is'our particular discovery,
for it should be right obvious to
even the frailest of baseball
minds: but, in the first place
they haven't gotten near enough

SO far the series has developed
no outstanding nero MOI any

any one man has won iUr the
Athletics. rather team work has
wreaked havoc upon the st.
Louis club.
The nearest to q standout
star, of course, has been Mickey
Cochrane. with his two home
runs but In that neither Of
them were vital to bring his
team from the rear or united q

Jim Bottonley, counted on to
do some hitting in this series,
and who has yet to connect.
Taylor Douthit is somewhat in
the same class. But their
neighbors on the team haye
done some sporadic hitting, in
effective though it has been.
It is hinted that old Wild
William HaIlahan. an IriShman
with lefthanded tendencies, is
to be leveled at the Athletics

I thought for q time In the
seventh that EarnShaw might be
going into wild spell when he
walked MancuSO, the first hitter.
but he steadied fast and was
as strong at the finish as at
the start. His two Strike0utS 10
end the game were typical. He
is horse for work when he has
control.
Every hit made by the AS in
their two games has figured II
the run making. This is I'm.
usual and there Is no deyning
that a team Is fortunate to, get
the most out Of fairly light hit
ting. But the AS have been do
ing it so long In our league that
it has become q habit. They
have made II hits in two games
and these were good for II runs.
The difference between the two
ball clubs in the first two games
that the Philadelphia pitchers
have been able to smother the
heavy guns Of the Cardinals, and
the st. Louis boxmen have not
been effective against the slugging
section Of the AS.
Bottomley and Hafey have
looked particularly bad with only
one hit, that by Hafey, in 10 times
at bat. Bottomley hasn't reached
first base except when his team
was in the field. FriSch is the
only hitter in the top section Of
the Cardinals who has caused any
trouble for the AS pitchers.
Look what those Mackmen have
done to the National League
pitchers in high-power hitting!
Cochrane has hit two home runs
in six chances: Simmons has
clouted a homer, double and a
single in seven chances, and Foxx
has poled a triple and q double in
six attempts. Bishop is proving
the same old problem with that
eagle eye. andatwo Of his three
walks were quickly cashed in at
the plate.
