GERMAN BOXER
BEATSEBBETTS

NEW YORK, April :. U.R-
Adolph Heuser, dynamic German
light heavyweight, scored his sec
ond victory in six weeks over Harry
Ebbets, veteran Long Island maui
er, last night by taking 10-round
decision before 5000 fans at Mad
ison Square Garden.
The bout was similar to the one
they fought in the same ring as
semi-final to the tragic Camera
Schaaf fight. Heuser again won
decisively but Ebbets gave him
plenty of competition, treating the
fans to bristling slugging flurries in
every round.
Heuser weighed 1721A pounds;
Ebbets 1894.
. In the eight-round semi-final
Art Lasky, Minneapolis heavy
weight, made an unimpressive Ne"
York debut. He won a close de-
cision over Hans Birkie of Ger
many. The middle westerner seem
ed awkward and failed to display
the hitting powers attributed u
him by the press agents. Lask!
weighed 1909, Birkie 199A.

CENTRAL WINS
At HO[Tv!LLE

Holding the Holtville baseball
team to five hits and a lone tally
Solomon led the Central Spartans
to an 8 to victory yesterday af-
ternoon on the local diamond.
What promised to develop into a
real pitchers battle changed its
complexion in the fifth frame when
the Spartans found Smedley and
started in to amaSs a lead that was
not to be overcome. The locals
were aided by four Holtville mis-
cues, but, nevertheless showed a
complete reversal of form than
that showed in the game at CaleXi-
co last week.
In the seventh inning the Cen
trail players added five more runs.
That ended the scoring but the
damage was done by that time and
as Solomon refused to loosen up
with base hits the Holtville nine
had to be content with the short
end of the score.
Elliot of the Spartans with 4
putouts and assists was the de
fensive star of the game while
Payne behind the bat and McCuis-
sion on first gave a good account
of themselves. Payne batted out a
ton on first gave a good account
the Spartan offensive while Walker
with three clean hits to his credit
led the Holtville team.

mitting a loan" of $4,000. GOO
from the perpetual school fund to
the general fund. A bill-already
passed by the senate-consolidating
elementary school districts with
high school districts, was passed by
an assembly committee.
Liquor Bills Approved
The prohibition and beer tangle
appeared near solution. A senate
committee set June 6 as a tentative
date for the 18th amendment ref
erendum election. Another commit
tee approved election machinery for
selection of convention delegates.
Repeal of the Jones still act was
provided in another measure.
State regulation of business bills
were successful with one major ex-
ception-the senate defeated the
Deuel. measure placing contract
truck carriers under railroad COM
mission Jurisdiction. But the SEN
ate did approve the Jones bill en-
powering the commission to control
public utility holding companies.
A laundry regulation measure
and another moratorium" bill
empowering the insurance commits
sioner to limit Withdrawals and
payments on policies, if necessary,
passed the assembly.
Several liberal bills received set
backs. A senate committee passed
out the pari-mutuel racing bill with
an ominous without recommended
ton label. The lower house killed
the "gin-marriage' repeal proposal
and defeated another liberal bill
reducing time between interlocu-
tory and final divorce DEGREES.
Two bills involving construction
went through without much oppo-
sition. The assembly passed con-
stitutional amendment authorizing
the state to acquire and develop
its water resources and the SEN
ate passed bill compelling use of
only American materials on pub
lie works.

Events In Which He Entered
Without Being Extended.

Aqua CALIENTE, Mex, April
/. GU.Pl-Norman Church's Gallant
Sir, stout-hearted son of Sir GAL
lahad II-Sunspot, will go to the
post at the prohibitive odds of one
to five in the $25,000 added Aqua
Caliente handicap, outstanding fea-
ture of the racing season which
comes to a close here Sunday. In
y dications today were that one of
the smallest fields in the history of
the event will contest the mile and
a quarter classic with none of the
potential starters given better than
a six to one chance of making the
four-year-ol half-brother of Gal
liant Fox extend himself.
While no definite decision has
, been reached, it is generally TX
pected that David j. Davis, owner
of the New Zealand invader Pill
low Fight will not enter his colt
in the overnight field because of
its dismal showing in his four pre-
vious attempts at the local track.
The field is to be drawn from Ba-
hamas, Salts Spar, LoverSall, Mad
Pursuit, Waylay r, Writ G. Bow
man, Midshipman, The Nut ano
Rasper.
Gallant Sir has honestly earned
the confidence placed in him by his
large following. He won all foul
starts this year at the Aqua Cali
ente course and his been display

CHAMBERS HEAR BENEFITS OF
FOSTERING TOURISTS VISITS

That tourist traffic has been of
inestimable value to residents of
Southern California during the past
year yas pointedly shown by C. A.
Horrworth, field secretary of the
All-Year Club of Southern Califor-
mia who spoke at a meeting of the
Association Chambers of Commerce
in Imperial last night.
The speaker pointed out, in cor
roboration of his thesis, that in
spite of depressing conditions ex-
isting throughout the United States,
over million out of state tourists
visited California during 1882 and
left over $2O0,0OO,00O in Southern
California upon their departure.
This, the secretary said, was not
mere guess work but was based up
on actual figures obtained from
various sources.
Another speaker was Sergeant
Billy Murry of the Army Intelli-
gence Corps who gave a very vivid
description of some of the engage
ments in which California troops
took part during 1913 Talking
