First it's you-Then It's me,
No harm done-1t's all In fun.

Socko! Wham! And again his
tory repeats itself. Once more Ed
Bobbins legal lights come through
with a game win after being
raked over the Goals by the writer
last week. You just can't beat
them. Razzem and they win.
Praise them a little and complete
reversal of form is the result.
Guess we will keep panning them
and maybe they will come through
with flying colors.
A strategic move whereby j. W.
Stokes of Bobbin's team shifted
from his regular position to an
Choir and engineer Stiklius jumped
up as lead-off man, resulted in an
unlocked for upset. Yanavich has
been going like a house afire these
past few weeks but Kid Psychol-
ogy coupled with timely pinning by
Jay w. Stokes and Hop Sheron
who rolled 326 and 335 respective
ly and Captain Bobbin who came
through time and again with need
ed strikes and spares was just a
little too much for Yanavich's
Wreckers to overcome.
The league leading sections cap
tanned by John Vaitukaitis barely
took two games from Sheriff Jenu-
salts and his deputies. From the
noise that emanated from alleys

shooting the works with Jack Ko-
piczh manning the 16-inch verbal
cannons. Had wonder bread Joe
Yanavich rolled his usual game,
Jenusaitis would have won games
but bread men like their bread
sometimes go stale and that's that.
And look, look! Doctor Stances
low took over Sun Parlor Dan
Stokes in total score. Doc hit 27l
while Dan popped over measly
1852. Is Doc getting better or Dan
getting worse? Step on it Dan or
the sexton will have you as lead Off
man.
Fritz gDulskis came back from
Cleveland full of twin and wigor

said: Let's go boys, get back those
3 games you lost last week, but the
prospective victim, Billie Arnaus-
kas turned about and shouted oh

The leadoff and anchor men OF
both teams rolled identical scores
with Dulskis stealing the game by
3 pins. Fritz himself won the End

UNKNOWN WINSTON
MAY BOX SCHAAF

Edward ("UnknownD Winston
of this city may yet meet Ernie
Schaaf. A meeting between the
pair which was blocked for West
Springfield last summer by for
mer Boxing Commissioner Eugene
Buckley is in the tentative stage
again and the making Of the match
depends almost entirely on VIM
ston's showing against Harry Eb-
bets at the Holyoke Valley arena
Monday night.
Johnny Buckley promised arena
officials last summer that they
could have Schaaf against any good
heavyweight during the winter and
Buckley reiterated his promise to
Homer C. Rainault, president of
the arena, when Rainault was at
Boston last week to attend hear
ings on boxing and wrestling legis-
lation. Winston will be acceptable
to Schaaf and 1t Is thought that
with a change In the boxing COM
mission no objection will come
from that quarter.
Winston was notified yesterday
that a Schaaf bout would be his
reward IL he could get by Ebbets
in convincing style Monday night.
Winstons manager, Lou Viscusi.
informed Matchmaker Ducharme
that Winston was training hard
and was down to about 1873 pounds.
He probably will scale about $50
for Ebbets.

Former Official
Admits Stealing
Funds From City

LOS ANGELES. June 25. U.P)-
Accused of embezzling nearly SGT 900
of municipal funds while he was
city treasurer of Culver City, Cass
Ecker, 40, was in the county Jail
here today
Ecker admitted taking the funds,
officers said, and losing them in
stock speculations.
Tom Cavett, district attorneys
Investigator, after questioning Ecker
last night, said he drew an ad-
mission from him that he borrow
ed $500 of bank bonds from city
funds to lend to a friend in August,
1890.
The friend died before the money
could be returned, Ecker said, and
he attempted to recoup the loss by
taking further funds, according to
Cavett, until the total reached
$1,000.
Ecker's four-year term of office
expired recently, and he did not
run for reelection. His successor,
Tom Allen, uncovered the alleged
speculations
Ten thousand dollars was recov-
cred from a stock brokerage house
which handled Ecker's account, it
was announced. Ecker was a former
army captain, is married and has
two children.

FEAR LEADERS OF
VETERANS HAVE
LOST CONTROL

WASHINGTON, June 26. U.P)-
The unified leadership which has
held the veterans bonus expedi-
tionary force under strict disci-
pline appeared to pe crumbling to-
day.
In view of this situation, police
forces throughout the city kept in
close touch with headquarters and
were ready for emergencies.
One indication of the dissen-
sion among the bonus army leaders
was the way in which Commanders
in-chief Walter w. Waters was ig-
nored when he ordered a mass
demonstration at the capitol yester-
day. None of the various camp
commanders and only a few hun
dred of the rank and file obeyed
Waters order to march to the SEN
ate.
A contingent of 450 veterans was
denied food by Waters for five
hours, until it deposed John Pace
of Detroit as commander. Pace is
member of the Workers EX-Sers
vice Mems league, an organizat ton
allegedly fostered by Communists.
The contingent elected William De-
teri of Kenosha, Wis, as temper
ary commander, but threatened to
reinstate Pace.
A group of veterans set out flnom
the Anacostia camp last night with
the reported intention of trying to
sleep on the White House lawn.
They did not appear at the White
House and this morning the where
abouts of the group was unknown.
They were headed by Clarence
Hoover of California, who said he
was no relative of the President
but wanted him "to know we're in
town"

Dog racing in Southern California,
inaugurated less than a week ago,
had reached its highest hurdle to-
day as operators of Culver City's

Evidence that the gambling stat
utes had been violated, is in the
hands of District Attorney BurCn
Fits, he announced.

ening night.

tions" or options on their fayorite
dog, which are repurchased by the
hounds owner if it wins or places.

option form of betting legal in CAL
ifornia. although pari-mutuel and
other forms Of betting are illegal.

MANY VERDICTS
AT DISPOSAL OF
HATFIELD JURY
Fifteen Ways For Jury
men To Decide Calipat-
ria Staying.

Lengthy jury room arguments,
and indications given when the
jurors asked that testimony of four
witnesses be read to them, today
indicated that the trial Of Joe Hat
field, Robert Kloss and Jack Will
liams for the alleged murder of
V. Gomez south of Calipatria on
May 10 may end with the jurors
unable to reach any one of the
Is possible verdicts cited to them
by Judge Vaughn NJ Thompson in
his instructions last night.
Court room attendants we're di-
yided in opinion, some declaring
their belief the jury will not agree,
and Others asserting the opinion
verdict will be forthcoming.
Judge Thompson completed in
structions at 9:45 last night and
the jury retired, to be locked up
for the night in their court house
quarters.
Close consideration of evidence
was shown this morning when the
jurors returned to the court room
to ask that testimony of Kloss and
Williams, defendants, and John H
Robertson and w. w. Dore, states
witnesses. be read to them. They
did not ask for the testimony OF
Hatfield, principal defendant and
the man who is charged with the
actual killing Of the Mexican
laborer.
The testimony requested related
to the position of Gomez body
when it was seen by Robertson in
the Hatfield yard, and the position
in which the testimony of the ac-
Cused placed the body. KloSs and
Williams said the Mexican was
shot when he whirled after chasing
Hatfield around an automobile.
Gomez was shot in the back of
the head.
Given Jury Last Night
Request for this testimony might
indicate a discussion among jurors
of the plea Of self-defense ad-
vanced by Ernest r. Utley, attor-
ney for Hatfield. Utley who left
for Chicago as an alternate to the
Democratic convention, left Lyman
Robertson to represent him. Rob.
ertson and Don c. Bitter are at,
torneys for Williams and Kloss.
The case was given to the jury
last night, after a night session in
which D. II. Wolford, chief crimi-
nal deputy district attorney, pre-
sented his argument to the jury.
His talk was preceded yesterday
afternoon by those of r. I. French,
deputy prosecutor; Robertson, Bit
Ter and Utley.
Judge Thompson, who had re-
fused to order an instructed ver-
dict, last night told the Jurors they
could find Hatfield guilty and the
Others not guilty, might find any
one Of the defendants guilty, or
might acquit all Degrees of mur-
der, including first and second de-
grees and manslaughter, were ex-
plained.

Robinson CrusOe'
Rescue Reported

BAKERSFIELD. June 25. U.P)-
Albert r. Erler. 32-year old Los
Angeles golf course employee, was
alive today after a three-day Rob
inson Crusoe" sojourn on an island
in the Kern river canyon.
Erler was swept into the gorge
early this week when he was un-
able to fight his way clear of
rapids. Search of the river banks
failed to reveal trace of him. Au-
thorities believed he had been
drowned.
After his first request for "a
square meal had been filled, he
explained that he succeeded in
reaching the island after being
carried through the swift rapids
and scraped against rocks.
1T wasn't SO bad,' he said, al
though I did get hungry and my
only clothes were a coat of tan.
Erler was taken from the island
by friends with whom he had been
camping, and who persisted in
their efforts to find him after
county authorities had given up
the search,
