Perhaps it's the climate, but the
fact is that group of former
major league baseball stars are dis
playing unusual batting punch and
pepper in the three weeks old race
for the 1881 Pacific Coast League
championship.
Take Homer Summa. former
Cleveland and Philadelphia out
fielder, as an instance. Satisfied
with his berth at Los Angeles, SUM
ma is hitting better than 400. is
still fast on the bases and his grace
and judgment in handling drives
are well known.
On the same club, Arnold STATE
roams deep in centerfeld and is a
joy to his teammate pitchers in
pulling down potential two and
three base hits. Back of the bat,
Old Harry Truck" Hannah of the
Angels appears to improve with age.
Outstanding in the success of the
twice-champion Hollywood club are
Johnny Bassler and Hank Severed.
veterans Of many campaigns in the
American League. Not quite fast
enough for the majors, these catch
ers are stars on the coast. Severed
is a potential hitter and Bassler is
dangerous.
Their hitting, handling of pitch
ers and throwing may again bring
Manager Oscar Wits team the pen-
nant.
In leftfield for Hollywood there
is a youth who may in a season or
two be acclaimed one of the NeV
York Yankees star gardeners. He
is Jess Hill. former Southern Cali
fornia football player. Hill has
everything dazzling soeed and
baseball instinct. He is a good
fielder good hitter and has the will
to win. Through Bill ESsick, YAM
kee scout, who recommended him
to Hollywood, the Yanks are said
to have first call on him.
Flagstead Shines
The startling drive of the Port
land club to a point where it ap-
pears as a pennant contender this
year may be ascribed to Manager
Abbott, and he zip he has instilled
into his beterans. Bill Rhiel, former

Dado-Zuniga
Meet Tonight

LOS ANGELES, April %. U.P)-
Judy Zuniga, Glendale schoolboy,
and Speedy Dado. Filipino bantam
weight, meet in l0-round rematch
at Olympic Auditorium tonight.
Zuniga won an unexpected deci-
sion over Dado in a six-round affair
three weeks ago, and at the speed
he was going, probably would have
scored knockout had the battle
been for 10 rounds, experts agreed.
The winner of tonight's battle will
meet Newsboy Brown, holder Of the
state bantamweight crown, within a
short time for the title.

tional League pennant and carried
through to worlds championship.
are on the warpath.
2 to victory over the Philadel-
phia Phillies climaXed a brilliant
drive that landed Boston in sole
possession of the league leadership
yesterday. The Braves. whose
pitchers have flashed the best form
of any hurlers in the circuit. have
won five OF their last six starts, and
are full game ahead of the sec
ond place Chicago Cubs.
Socks" Seibold had another of
his good days and held the Phillies
to four hits. Benge held the Braves
to six, but they punched three OF
them in the third inning for two
runs.
The St. Louis Cardinals were
toppled from first place when they
were defeated by the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates for the second consecutive day.
5 to 3. Three hits, combined with
three Cardinal errors, gave the Pi-
rates a four-run lead in the first
inning Larry French pitched shut
out ball for the first six innings,
but weakened tlb1ard the close. He
allowed but nine hits and was ao-
corded splendid support in the field.
The Brooklyn Robins lost their
ninth contest in II starts yesterday
when they were whipped by the
New York Giants, 8 TO 5. The Giants
batted around in the first inning
and drove Joe Shaute and Day from
the mound before either had retired
man. Gallivan. a rookie, halted
the rally after the New Yorkers had
counted six times. Brooklyn could
do nothing with the pitching OF
Hubbell until the eighth inning,
when they combined three bases on
balls and single for IT, &c runs.
The other National League con-
test scheduled between Chicago and
Cincinnati was postponed because
Of cold weather.
Washington's Senators defeated
the New York Yankees, to 8, in
the only American League game of
the day. The Senators scored the
winning run in the 18th inning on
H Rice's single, two bases on balls
and hit batsman.

Traffic Campaign

Results OF Frank Smyers cam
paign against traffic law violators
became apparent this morning when
several drivers appeared ON charges
of driving with excessive noise, and
other violations, to receive fines
from Judge Kendall B. Perkins in
police court.
Other offenders in the city court
this morning appeared on usual
charges of drunkenness.
Tiva y Lava was fined $50 for pos
5ession OF five gallons of home brew.
She was arrested cast Of the rail-
road tracks.
Penalties of $40 fines or five days
in the county Jail were imposed on

cracked out five successive hits.
He is hitting AGO.
Ira Flagstead. ex-Red Sox and
Pirate star, hit six out of eight
Sunday against Hollywood. He
worked harder than any rookie in
training camp and many wonder
why he was shunted out of the ma
jors Kenny williams and Sammy
Hale, both on the Portland injured
list at present, were hitting hard
and often when injuries struck
them.
Sam Gibson, former Detroit pitch
er. has showed enough with San
Francisco to warrant the pred
that he probably will win 25 games
this year. CASTOR, Seattle catcher,
likewise has found the coast league
to his liking, as has George Burns,
x-Cleveland star. who is managing
the Mission Club and playing a
fine first base.
Indications are that this years
coast league race will be one of the
closest in recent history. Hollywood,
Los Angeles, San Francisco ana
Portland appear at present as the
strongest teams, although Sacra-
mento. always a good spring club,
is leading the league, half game
ahead of Los Angeles and game
and a half ahead of Portland.
This weeks schedule calls Tor the
Missions at Portland, Hollywood at
Seattle, Oakland at San Francisco
and Sacramento at Los Angeles.

SCHOOL TENURE
BILL POSTPONED
House SidetrackS Move to
Change Teacher Law.

Modification of the 1927 teacher
tenure act was halted today when,
after forty minutes of debate, the
house of representatives voted 1873
indefinitely to postpone the Bah
-Gwin bill.
This measure would have n1odi-
fed the existing law so that teach
ers in rural communities and town
ships Of less than 1900 population
would not be under the provisions
Of the act.
The 1927 law provided that when
any teacher has been engaged for
five years and is given sixth year
renewal contract, the employment
is made permanent and can be dis
charged only for cause.
The house education committee
brought out majority report for
indefinite postponement and mi
nority report for passage.
Fight to substitute the minority
report for that of the majority was
led by Representative Fabius Gwin
(Den1., Dubois and MARTINI, a CO.
author of the measure.
Gwin argued that trustees are I'M
willing to give teachers six-year
contracts because it makes their
employment permanent, thus fore
ing many good teachers to move
from a community; and also be-
cause permanent employment closes
the doors to new teachers

BANK CHANGE URGED
Another Measure Affects
Contempt Case Judges.

Passage of legislation prohibiting
banks or trust companies from So
Letting appointments as admins
traitors or executors of wills and OF
a bill providing for change OF
judges in indirect contempt cases
was recommended today in Indiana
house committee reports.
The banks law was the cause of
spirited debate in public hearing
held by house Judiciary A commit
tee, comprised for the most part of
attorneys. Bankers oppose the meas
ure on the ground that blanks
should not be prohibited from doing
the things they are chartered to
do"
Representative william McClain
(Dem., Vanderburg and Warrick),
author Of the measure, explained it
is aimed at paid runners" of banks
who are taking business away from
attorneys"
The indirect contempt measure,
sponsored by Representative John
D. T. Bold Dem., Vanderburg), is
based on the claim that no Judge
acting as prosecutor and jury, when
he is the aggrieved person, can give
fair and impartial trial.
