Shows Increase

With the first seven days OF July
almost gone, the county Jail regis
ter shows an average OF more than
10 prisoners each day for this
month.
This is slightly higher than the
average of June, when a total OF
329 prisoners entered the cells Of
the jail. Many of these have been
released.
Early this morning the register at
the bastille showed 10 prisoners
booked since July /. Jailer Eddie
Nett asserted he has received reser-
vations for at least five more, who
will be booked before night.
"All rooms with bath are taken
at present" said Nett, but We will
be able to find room for new ar
rivals
Only 100 prisoners are now held
in the county Jail. This is slight

SHARKEY WALKER
WINNER TO MEET
MAX SCH MELINC G

NEW YORK. July 7. U.P)-With
bout against Max Schmeling,
worlds heavyweight champion, as
the probable stake to the winner,
Mickey Walker and Jack Sharkey
have agreed to terms. for a l5-round
bout at Ebbets field, Brooklyn,
Wednesday. July %.
The former worlds middleweight
titleholder and the Boston battler
met with James J. Johnston and
representatives of the New York
milk fund, who together will pro-
mote the fight, late yesterday and
signed contracts for the battle.
The New York State athletic
commission has indicated that it
would recognize the winner as the
worlds heavyweight champion. The
New York body dethroned Schmel-
ing because of his failure to defend
his title within a stipulated time.
Joe Jacobs and Schmeling also
attended the signing ceremonies.
Schmeling left soon afterwards to
begin his journey back to Germany
while Jacobs told reporters that al
though Schmeling has agreed to
meet Primo Carnera sometime in
September. it was possible that the
Sharkey-Walker winner would be
substituted for the giant Italian.
Jacobs said he understood that
Camera may not get the bout be-
cause of his failure to fulfill the
contract he has with Madison
Square Garden.
II will mark Walkers first big
test in his campaign to add the
heavyweight crown to his list of
titles.

ANOTHER DOUBLE
MAIN EVENT AT
ATHLETIC CLUB

Boys and girls who had their ap-
petities for the game of sock and
bang sharpened by the big affair.
at Reno and Cleveland last week
will have an opportunity to satisfy
the appetite at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club Friday night, and it is
dollars to doughnuts they will see
more fight than the combined at
fractions in the divorce colony and
the big city in the Buckeye state.
Harry Woodbury. has decided to
throw another double main event
and is bringing back Tommy ElkS,
who made quick work of Frankie
West last week Folks hereaboutS
had thought Frankie was a tough
nut, and he was tough against such
boys as Andy Armstrong and Billy
Webb, but Tommy hit him last
week with district dredge and he
never had a chance after that.
This week, however. Woodbury. is
giving Tommy a little tougher meat
10 chew in the person of Johnny
Bandit" Romero. the kid whom
San Diegans say "eats EN- alive"
Johnny has committed 81 banditries
in the coast city, or putting it into
better English, 81 Of his opponents
have been rocked to sleep by the
business end OF the Romero mitts
Say anything you want about
Christy Lewis and he will live up
to them is the word from Arizona
about the colore6 boy who takes on
Louis Silva. Many here will recall
Fred Schanz who was formerly q
member OF the Press staff, but who
now labors on the Phoenix Republic.
Fred writes that Lewis can lick
anything his weight that California
can produce and he doesn't exclude
Young Corbett. Being an Arizonan
now Fred is likely to do bit of ex-
aggerating. but ii sounds good any
how.
Silva owes the fans here a good
fight. He gave them one two weeks
ago but slipped up last week when
he had previously signed for San
Diego fight and had to pass up the
local engagement. Incidentally he
won last week and he plans TO send
Christy Lewis back to Governor
Hunts state as freight and not as
a passenger
Baby Ruiz fights in the special
event. Doesn't really make any diff
ference who he is fighting, but it
happens TO be Sal Luvano, a tough I
boy from Fresno Sal will prob
ably whale the tar out of the Babe
for a couple of rounds. and just
when Ruiz is about ready for Burt
Lemons. something will happen to
Sr. Luvano. That's the way Ruiz
has done in his last two fights. He
is a young wildcat and how he can
take them. Then he gives them.
Louie Garcia, who looked better
beating Pilino Kilat last week than
in any OF his previous fights, opens
the show against Kid Chocolate,
who was on the wrong end OF a de-
cision with Ruiz last week. The
Chocolate boy made the mistake OF
thinking Ruiz was done for and got
careless. Then he got a pasting he
wants to forget.
Ladies will be admitted to the
arena without charge and the same
low scale prices will prevail

CARDINALS SHOW
REAL STRENC I'll
In HARD GAMES
BY LEO II. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, July T. U.P)-The
st. Louis Cardinals have demon
strated again that they are at their
best when the going is the toughest.
In true championship style, they
have protected their National
league leadership.
A few days ago st. Louis came to
New York for four game series
with the Giants, who then were but
a game and q half behind the 1880
pennant winners. Although they
had lost four out of five games to
Brooklyn, the Cardinals braced to
get an even break in the series and
retain their margin of leadership.
When Gabby Streets crew lost TO
Chicago Sunday in the first game of
a series, the Cardinals lead was
threatened again. The New York
Giants were only three and one
half games behind, with Brooklyn a
half contest in the rear of their
metropolitan rivals, and the Cubs
trailing the Robins by half a game.
But the Cardinals bore down yes
terday, and displayed the spirit of
a champion TO come from behind
and nose out the Cubs, 6 to 5.
Brooklyn lived up to its reputa-
ton as a formidable ball team when
playing strong clubs but a listless
aggregation when competing against
second rate opposition, by dropping
a to 3 verdict to Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Athletics and
the Washington Senators, current
leaders and runners up, respective
ly, battled to a scoreless tie. Their
game was called because of rain in
the eighth inning.
Cleveland strengthened its hold
on fourth place by defeating De-
troit Is to 4 as Chicago shaded the
st. Louis Browns, holders of fifth

Mosquitoes Inject

Cause Of Horrible
Blood Diseases
Now Known


Most people think the pain and itch
OF mosquito bite is due to irritation
of the "bite" itself. This is far from
the truth, as science shows. When the
mosquito sinks her stinger thru your
skin to drink, she first must inject u
fluid from her serum sac to thin your
blood.
This thinning fluid is poisonous and
often alive with the germs of maiig-
nant diseases, taken up from un-
healthy people the mosquito has
bitten before going to you. As this
is direct transmission" OF disease
germs into the blood it constitutes
terrible danger. You shudder when
an awful blood disease is mentioned:
Shudder when you see mosquito ana

FOODS COOKED IN
 SMALL AMOUNTS USUALLY TASTE BEST
Hills Bros. Coffee Tastes Better Than Other Coffees Because It is Roasted in
 Small Quantities

Food cooked in small quantities has the advantage of exactness. The mixing and the application of heat can be accurately controlled. A three-egg omelet is invariably more tender and fluffy than one made of many eggs.
 Coffee roasted in small quanti- ties has the advantage of exactness too. Hills Bros. discovered the way to roast in small quantities = so that every pound is exactly alike = when they invented and patented Controlled Roasting.
 As the accuracy of the hour glass depends upon an even, continuous flow =. little at time so the uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting = this patented process that roasts evenly, continuously c little at q time. Every berry is perfectly done. A matchless flavor results a flavor bulk-roasted coffee can't equal!
 Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in vacuum cans. Air, which makes coffee go stale, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, lair tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale. Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

went to work on Jim Moore who was pinch hitting for Earnshaw.
 Umpire Nallin called the first pitched ball strike. Moore fouled the second one back of the catcher. He let the third pitch go by. It was low and wide. Moore fouled the next pitch back of the plate. Hallahan then tossed up a sweep ing curve thas Moore missed for the third strike. The ball bounced into the dirt but Jimmy Wilson, Card backstop, caught 1t. How ever, he failed to throw Moore out at first.
 Instead Wilson tossed 10 third, apparently thinking the game was over. The Cards raced in gleefully from the field but a watchful Athletics coach kept Moore on first, and saw to it that Foxx and Dykes. who. had advanced to third and second respectively. stayed on the bags.
 After violent argument, it was ruled no putout had been made. All hands were safe then and the bases were full. With capacity crowd in wild uproar, Jim Bot tomley saved the day by making a sensation catch of Bishops foul fly almost in the temporary boxes in rightfield, falling over play ers' bench as he made the catch.
