Verdict OF Local
Court Reversed

Because Judge A. c. Finney over
ruled a demurrer contending that
all proper defendants were not
named in the complaint, the fourth
district court of appeals, in an
opinion received here yesterday al
ternoon, reversed a $3l 400 judge
ment for Thomas Edwin Gill and
Mrs. Myla Ritzinger Gill against
C. G.. Johnson as treasure of the
state of California.
The civil action was tried here
in 1923 and resulted in a iudg-
ment that the state treasurer was
to pay Mr.. and Mrs. Gill, out o.
the Torrens title insurance fund
$31 400 as the amount of damages
suffered by them in a transaction
in which they purchased land here
only to find later that it was sub
ject to a trust deed securing a $685.
600 loan to the original owners.
Before the suit went to trial at
torneys for the state treasurer con-
tended that this original owner
Friend j. Austin, should have beer
named as a defendant, since it was
through his fraudulent action thai
the land was declared to be free Of
encumbrance. Judge Finney over.
ruled a demurrer on this graund
but the appellate court held thai
Austin should have been named a.
defendant, and therefore reversed
the judgment.

Ohio Sheriff Here
With Pris0fiol

When c.. N. Hepler gets back to
Akron, Ohio, he will be faced with
3 prison term not at all short. ac-

continued all this week, according

New furniture styles appear to

Fahs, who states that throngs Wis
tied the show the two nights of
the fall opening. Commenting on
the style show he states:
Authentic furniture styles and
home decorative ideas are cleverly
arranged on each floor where
one can see just how the different
ensembles would look if they were
placed in ones home. Southern
California has contributed strik-
ing mode of furniture to harmon
ize with the individual style of
architecture that is so popular in
this state. The many groups now
being shown are in excellent taste
that would indicate a permanent
contribution in the way of home
decoration.
"Henna, rust, Bordeaux red and
pastel green shades predominant in
the color scheme of upholstered
furniture. In bedroom furniture,
walnut is the popular wood. Many
groups show a combination of
maple and walnut that is very at
tractive. Oak, walnut and mahog-
any, in the order named are the
leading woods for dining room

NEW YORK, Oca 11.-(U.P)-
Working on the theory that no cure
could be harder TO take than last
wears sickness. the New York Gil
ants have started the business of
rebuilding the baseball team that
proved such a bitter disappointment
in the 1882 season.
The first step came with Man
ager Bill Terry's announcement
| that Pitchers Bill Walker and Jim
Mooney, Catcher Bob O'Farrel and
Outfielder Ethan Allen had been
snapped to the st. Louis Cardinals
for Pitcher Ray Starr and Catcher
Gus Mancuso.
This deal, according to the club
secretary, Jim Tierney, rs just the
beginning" The Giants, Jim said,
have got a mess Of things brew
ing, not only with the Cards but
several other outfits.
Just what these deals are no.
body knows. But it doesn't cost
anything to guess. Our first guess
is that one of the deals involves
Hughey Critz, second baseman. We
have been informed by one close
to the Giants inner circle that
while Terry likes the soft-talking
| Mississippian personally, he doesn't
think so much of him as q ball
player. 1t seems that Hughey
drops too many throws, both from
his infielders and outfielders, to be
offset by his occasional breath-tak-
ing stops and pegs.
According 10 reports the Giants
consider Critz an average player. "
BY average we don't mean ordin-
airy. In baseball parlance an "av-
erage player" is one who is always
thinking about his fielding per-
centage and so thinks twice before
going after a ball he might miss.
Lindstrom Safe
J Jimmy Vergez, third baseman
and Leonard Koenecke, allegedly
hard hitting outfielder, are others
! Terry is supposed to be anxious to
cut loose. He'll probably have to
keep Vergez, however as the youth
full Gilbert English, by Terry's own
admission, is not ready for big
league baseball. There is chance
however, that Travis Jackson viii
be switched to third Jackson's in
jured knee still bothers him ano
may make him too slow for short
stop.
Several of the Giants appear
safe, no matter how hard the trad
ing bee strikes Terry. Bill is par
ticularly sold on OFT, Lindstrom
Moore and Hogan. The talk of 6
break between Bill and Lindstorn
is strictly the old malarkey. Lind
storm may be disappointed thai
he didn't get the club, but hi
doesn't hold any grudge against
Terry.
The shipping down the river o.
Walker and Mooney didn't come al
a surprise to those who know the
Giants. Both men are good pitch.
ers, but they had outlived theil
usefulness in New York uniforms
The trade with ST. Louis isn't a!
lop-sided as it appears on frs
glance. OFarrell is well past hi
prime. And in Mancuso and Starr
the Giants got two young, toy
notch players. Mancuso, while HI
played second fiddle to Wilson il
st. Louis, is ready for first string
work. He can hit, field and knows
what it's all about.
Starr went great the first few
weeks he was with the Cards thi'
season, unless our memory is hay

won them all And one Of thest
performances was a 10 shoutou

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Oakland, Cal.-Decks agleam and sails newly patched, two square rigEed ships of the Alaska Packers fleet. for years buried" here in the nnud.flat graveyard" of the Pacific, to-day prepared to sail once again through the Golden Gate and follow the paths along which they once blazed a glori- otis chapter in American history.
 They were the, Star of Alaska and the Star of England. Within a month they plan to sail through the maze of their sister ships nnasts, huddled together as if to break the loneliness, and out into the Pacific.
 Being Refitted.
 FThe Star of Alaska and the Star of England are being refitted for a new life-strange ones, no doubt--at sea-. The Star of Alaska has been sold to a group of stu dents from Spruce, N. C., who plan to conduct a floating uni- Yersity'.s on a round the world cruise. They plan to sail from San Francisco bay early in Sep tember with the South Seas and Austeaiia as their first stops.
 The Star of England's new owner, Edward Elsen Grieve of Los Angeles, will take the square-rig- ger to the South Seas to "get away from ticker tape and forget the depression"
 With Grieve will be party of writers and scientists. They plan to leave late this month.
 A year ago one of the two old Star clippers, the Star of Alaska, Its white canvas billowing, cleared the Golden Gate and took part in the Alaska salmon season. It re- turned to it's resting place here after a successful trip.
 2S Were On Run
 Aged mariners recall the days when the entire fleet of 25 ciip- pers made the annual run.
 Then it was that shippers bet the customary $1,000 and the crew it's last nickel, on the out come of the race to Puget Sound. Two years ago the Star of Eng land and the Star of Alaska staged their last race. Last year the Star oftAlaslsa sailed alone.
 For the first time, steam ves- sells were used exclusively this year by the packers, the sailing ships definitely abandoned.
 Of the original 25 in the fleet, only nine remain. The other has been sold.

They dropped their sixteenth game in their last IS starts yester- day when the New York Giants pounded out 8 10 to victory and 1t marked the eleventh time in the losing streak that they had been turned back by left-handers. Only three right handed hurlers have been pitted against the Pirates dur ing that period.
 The Pirates hit hard enough yes- terday but Carl Hubbell merely went through the motions in regis tering his 14th victory of the sea- son for the Giants gave him a six run lead in the first inning. Heinie Meine and Leon Chagnon were the victims of the New York attack. Runners-up Now
 The defeat dropped the Pirates to third place as the Brooklyn Robins whipped Cincinnati 6 to 0 to move into the runner-up position. Van Lingle Mungo continued his bril- liant huflihs in turning back the Reds with six hits. In his last 37 innings, Mungo has yielded but three runs. tsr etl
 Brooklyn advanced to within two games of the leading Chicago Cubs, who dropped g 6 to 5 decision to the Boston Braves. The Braves pounded Malone, Hermann -,and Grimes for IA hits to score their only victory in the four game series.
 Jakie Flowers single scoring Wilson gave the St. Louis Cardinals la to 4 11-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phil1ies.
 Philadelphia's Athletics tighten led their hold on second place in the American league standing when they won a doubfeheader from Cleveland, to 2 and 8 to in ten innings. Freitas held the Indians scoreless after the second inning of the second game and helped win his own game with a single.
 One Apiece
 New York and Detroit divided twin bill, the Tigers taking the first game to 3 and the Yankees winning the second, 6 to 5, Tony Lazzeris single in the ninth gave New York it's victory. Babe Ruth hit his 35th home run of the year in the nightcap.
 Washington took both ends of doubleheader from the Chicago White Sox, 4 to 3 and to 1. Fred Marberry allowed only six hits in the first game while Bill McAfee, pitching his first game for Wash ington, turned back the Sox with five safeties.
 The other American league teams Boston and St. Louis, were not scheduled.

WORLDS WATER
 SPEED KINGS
 SET FOR TESTS.

Detroit.--With world speed su-. premacy on water and the bronze Harmsworth plaque at stake, Kaye Don, the British sportsman, and Gar Wood, gray-haired defender of American honors, to-day were grooming their boats for the Harmsworth races, which will be held Sept 2, 3 and 5.
 Never before have two boats been more evenly matched than are the Miss America x and Miss England III. Both have trefnen- dous power, and the latter holds the world speed record of 119.81 miles an hour. Don established the mark in July, on Loch Lomond, in Scotland.
 Because of the unsatisfactory outcome of last years races, when both wood and Don were disquali- fled in the second heat for beating the starting gun, interest in this years match is greatly increased. Don won the first heat last year in Miss England II.

This year Wood will race but one boat, although, each contesting country is allowed three entries. Last year Wood used two.
 In the Miss America x have been installed four 12-cylinder en- zines, the greatest power plant ever put in a hydroplane. They are the engines of the Ninth and the Eighth. Each is equipped with a supercharger. They can develop G. 400 horsepower. The hull of the red mahogany Tenth is new. It is 38 feet from prov to stern, 10 feet longer than the Ninth. It. also is 8 few inches wider. With it's 300 ga1- ions of gasoline and 30 gallons of oil. it weight nearly seven and a half tons.
 The speed of this boat is un- except, perhaps to Wood and a few, of his faithful mechanics and aides. Wood has said that he will not make a straightway meas ured mile run for the worlds rec ord until. after the September races.
