BIG LEACUERS
HOPING TO GET
BETTER WEATHER
BY United Press

Major league baseball magnates
were hoping for a favorable break
in the weather over the week end,
to enable them partially to retrieve
the profits lost through opening
week postponements. Only IL OF
the SO games scheduled to date
have been played-the Western Ma
tional League clubs being the only
ones able to play all of their games.
Bill Hallahan turned in Fridays
best pitching performance, holding
the Chicago Cubs to two hits to
give the st. Louis Cardinals an II
to 1 victory and an even break in
their four game series with the
champions. Hallahan was wild,
walking 8 men, but whitfield II bats
men, an error by Sparky Adams
giving the Cubs their only run.
The Pittsburgh Pirates complet-
ed their series at Cincinnati with a
> to > victory, and moved to st.
Louis as the Cubs invaded Cincin-
matt for a series with the Reds.
Wesley Ferrell. 1929 rookie star,
pitched the Cleveland Indians to a
Z to ! win over Detroit in the only
American League game of the day.
Other games were rained out.
Yesterdays hero-"Wild Bill"
Hallahan, st. Louis Cardinals left
handler, who let the Chicago Cubs
down with . hits, giving the Cards
an II to ] victory. Hallahan lived
up to his reputation for wildness bv
walking 9 batters but was at his
pest IN the Pinches and famed II.
AN error by Sparky Adams robbed
Hallahan of a shntout.

LOCAL CHAMBER
CONDITION GOOD
SAYS SECRETARY

Indicative of the healthy busi-
ness condition existing at the pres
ent time in Ell Centre is a report
made by Robert Hays, secretary OF
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce, on the payment of chamber
dues for this quarter of 1880. Hays
states that never in his experience
as secretary has such a large num-
Der of dues been paid as promptly
as this month, and that on April 10,
with only statement having been
mailed to each member. two-thir1s
of the entire membership was paid
up. Some of this number are paid
three months in advance, many a
year in advance and the remainder
a month in advance.
This is believed to be splendid
record for an organization where
dues are paid for the purpose of
helping in the upbuilding and ad-
vaneement of the city and not for
actual merchandise received. 1t
not only indicates prosperous
community but is an expression of
the faith of the business men and
women of Ell Centre in the future
of this city and in the work which
the FL Centre Chamber of Com.
merce is doing to build this com.
munity, Hays states.
Not only is the chamber compos
ed of members who are actively in
terested in civic advancement, but
the membership has grown until il
is almost double the number it wa,
two years ago and every week one
or more applications for member
ship are received from both older
residents of the city and from new
residents who are entering business
here. The total membership now
numbers $40, almost the goal of $50
which was set by the present board
of directors.
''The splendid conditions which
exist in the Ell Centre chamber are
not typical of all chambers in Cali
fornia," states Leo Hetzel, presi-
dent. '.Daily the. local chamber
gets literature on methods of in
creasing membership and of col
lecting dues, compiled by other
chambers, as well as many requests
from oyer chambers of commerce
asking how loss of members and
delinquency in dues are met. The
fact that the local chamber does
not have such problems TO meet is
due to the splendid backing that
organization is receiving from the
business men and women of FL
Centre and to the cooperation of
the individual members with the
board of directors and staff of the
chamber in making FL Centre bet
ter place in which TO live"

Why FirebelI Rang

Sunday afternoon when call
came here for assistance, at fire
on the Dover farm, many wondered
why the fire siren was not sounded.
Fire Chief Russell Ashton has re-
quested that the following explana-
tion be made so that the people
may have a clear understanding
hereafter. When the siren is
sounded, it means a call in McCon-
nelsville or Malta for fire depart
ment and fire engine. When the
town clock gong is rung, it means a
call outside the villages. The vii
lage council has given the fire COM
pany instructions to not take the
fire engine outside the reach of the
fire plugs of the two towns. The
council feels that the engine was
purchased by the council for the
protection of McConnelsville, and il
the engine is taken away, the town
does not have the protection it has
paid for Then the village of Malta
made arrangements with McCon-
nelsville council, for the use of the
engine and fire company, for which
use they pay $3.50 yearly. This
gives Malta equal fire protection
with McConnelsyille.
The fire department does not
want to be misunderstood. When.
ever there is a fire outside the two
towns and help is wanted, the fire
company will respond. and take
such equipment as they have, but
they cannot take the engine. The
fire department has some freight
ing equipment not owned by the
council, and they will gladly and
willingly take it and render all as
sistance possible.
So bear in mind that the siren
means call in McConnelsville or
Malta. The ringing OF the town
clock bell means that the fire is
outside the reach of fire plugs, and
that assistance is called for
