COCA COLAS WIN TITLE WITH
VICTORY OVER GOLDEN STATE

In one of the best games played
on the Wilson school diamond this
season the Coca Cola team nosed
out the Golden Staters by a score
of 2 to l to take top honors for
the last round of league competition
for the present season. Incidentally
this game closed the season and the
game scheduled for tonight be-
tween the Studebakers and Shirer
Drug teams will not be played be-
cause no matter if the former did
win they could not oust the Cokes
from their perch.
This leaves a three way playoff
between the Studebakers, Golden
State and Coca Cola teams for
the seasons championship Play
in this round robin will start next
Monday evening when the Stude-
bakers and Golden State teams
play off their second round tie.
For real downright thrills, those
which are lead of but seldom ac-
tually witnessed, last nights game
took the prize. Fans and players
alike were on edge throughout the
contest for everyone realized what
this game meant-a victory for
the Cokes spelled the end of the
season and the championship in
that round for that team. a victory
for the Buttermakers would have
put those two teams into a tie and
necessitate further playing.

WILL APPEAL
COURT VERDICT

A notice was filed in superior
court this morning that T. E. and
Myla Gill will appeal to the dis
trict court of appeals from the
order and judgment of the super
lor court on June %, 1888, grant,
ing the motion for a non suit of
the defendant C. G.. Johnson, state
treasurer.
The plaintiffs originally had sued
Tor $65,000 for recovery under the
land title law.
In the complaint it is stated that
on February 8, 1918, the plaintiffs
had purchased the east half of
section 20. tbs. R14E, Imperial
county for $37,5OO. Previous to the
purchase, the complaint states
further, certificate of title had
been issued, showing the title to
be sound. Later, however, action
was brought against the plaintiffs
in which it was asserted that at the
time of the issuance of this certifi-
cate there was a lien against the
land, and the case was decided
against the plaintiffs.
The land was sold on December
%, 1927 and the sale confirmed by
the U. S. district court by which
the plaintiffs were deprived of
their title to and possession of said
land. A motion for a new trial was
denied by Judge Vaughn Thomp-

FOURTH MONTH
SHOWS GAINS
BY CHEVROLET

OAKLAND, Calf, August "a. =
For the fourth successive month,
Chevrolet sales In Pacific coast
states have showed an amazing in
crease, according to w. M. Packer,
Pacific regional sales manager.
Chevrolet Motor company. Packer,
who has just returned from Detroit.
also stated that Pacific coast sales
are keeping step with the great ma
tional volume which Chevrolet is
receiving.
July was the fourth straight
month that Chevrolet showed tre-
niendous sales increases nationally
and on the Pacific coast" Pack
er said. "On the coast we nearly
trebled our sales of the correspond
ing month of last year. July was
the best month of the year to date
in comparison with the same period
last year for Chevrolet in this ter
ritory. The current July was the
fourth largest July in the 21-year
history of Chevrolet Motor COM
pany.
FOR the first seven months this
year, Chevrolet produced more than
$4,000 new cars and trucks as COM
pared with $4,000 for the full IL
months of 1882. These figures just
came to me from w. S. Knudsen,
president of Chevrolet Motor COM
rany. We expected a very slight
seasonal decline in July, but it fail
ed to materialize. Hence, we are
looking forward optimistically to
August sales. Two months running
now on the Pacific coast, June and
July, we have sold $500 cars each
month";
Asked for the reason for Chevro-
let great truck sales, Packer said,
"Retailers are turning to lighter
delivery equipment. Car economy
is the prime reason. The revival
of the brewery business helped us
very much. Further, truck opera
tions are changing to lighter units
because of the multiple taxes on
heavy equipment. There is a gen.
eral trend towards the light, strong,
fast economical truck unit
