PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES

The San Francisco Seals, en-
couraged by the return to form of
two of its leading pitchers, served
notice today that they are out to
catch the Los Angeles Angels be-
fore the 1893 Pacific coast league
champions make a runaway race
Of the present pennant brush.
Picked by many experts to lead
the chase themselves, the Seals
failed to go places in their first
two series. Much of their failure
was caused by the unsteadiness of,
Sam Gibson and Jimmy zinn. But
the two veterans found themselves
in this weeks series with Sacra-
mento. Now the Seals are in third
place, four games behind the An
gels. With Gibson. Zinn and Le-
roy Herman, as yet undefeated,
on the firing line the Seals be-
lieve they are set TO catch the
champions.
Gibson turned in a splendid per-
formance last night in scattering
seven Sacramento hits for an 80
victory, the third of the week for
the San Franciscans. The Seals
l2-hit attack was led by Jack Fen
ton, first baSeman, with three safe
ties.
Los Angeles returned to winning
ways, after a one-day lapse. by de-
feating Oakland, Ga. Nicola, a
new moundsnan, held the Oaks to
six hits and had the stamina to
stave off an eighth inning rally
which netted three runs.
! Seattle won its second in a row
for Manager Dutch Retuther by q
SO triumph over the Hollywood
Stars. Herman Pilletta pitched his
second straight shutout by holding
the stars to five hits. Frank Shell
lenback, Hollywood veteran. failed
for the third successive time to
reach his 263rd victory. He won
his 262nd game for a new coast
league record the first week of this
season
The Mission Reds held on to
second place by downing Portland
Ga. The Beavers could do little
with baseball IS only spitball-throw-
ing southpaw, the veteran Clarence
Mitchell. A five run burst in the
third made the game safe for tha
reds.

NEW YORK. April 81. = Rising
out of its own ashes like the anc-
lent Phoenix, Connie Mack's Phil
adelphia club is making an eX-
cellent showing against high-pow-
cred American league opposition
The Athletics, supposedly wrecked
by sale of key players during the
off-season, showed no signs of fold
ing up in four games with the
Yankees and Senators. Instead they
broke even.
In their three game series with
the Yanks, the AS won the first
encounter, and yesterday they
downed the Senators, American
circuit champions, 9 to 6. 1t was
Washington's third straight de-
feat.
Led by Hal WarStler at bat, the
Athletics hammered Weaver, Thom-
as, Russell and Crowder of Wash
ington for Is hits. Warstler had
a perfect day, marking four hits
in four tries. The AS got off to a
four run start in the first inning
and were never headed. Marcum,
Dietrich and Kline allowed the
Senators IL hits, some Of which
were clustered for four runs in the
sixth.
Mickey Cochrane's Tigers topped
other American clubs by register
ing their third victory in four
starts. They blanked Cleveland, 4
to 0, by scoring all their runs in
the ninth. This rally gave Carl
Fischer victory in mound duel
with Lloyd Brown, eight hits to
five. With the bases loaded in the
ninth. Owen doubled, scoring Cos
lin, Walker and O'CLOCK. Owen
came on Fischer's sacrifice.
The Browns at Chicago and the
Yanks at Boston were washed out.
In the National league, the cham
pion Giants turned in their fourth
straight victory when a four run
burst in the sixth gave them a
7 to 3 triumph over the Braves.
The bases were filled in the sixth
when Cantwell hit O'Doul, fore
ing in Jackson. Joe Moore's double
drove in Watkins and Vergez.

Repaying the Government.
(New York Times.)


 One of the more encouraging signs of the times is the consistency with which loans made to private business by the Government during the worst phase of the depression are being paid The agency through which such funds are coming back into Federal hands is the REC It reported last week that banks, other credit agencies and railroads had borrowed from it total of $3187OOO OOOOO during the whole period from the date of it's establishment under the Hoover Administration to the end of September 1884 Of this amount $ 899 100000. practically 60 per cent has already been repaid-though such loans might have been extended for five years There can be no doubt of the significance of this performance It plainly reflects improvement in the financial situation with less demand for Federal aid and greatly increased ability on the part of private bor rowers to square their obligations to the Govern ment.
 The showing made is particularly encouraging in the case of banks which have constituted by far the largest single class of borrowers. The Chairman of the REC reported recently that than 10000 loans had been made to than $500 banks in all sections of the country They amounted to the very large sum of $1126000000 but of this fully 75 per cent has been repaid. An excellent show ing has also been made by building and loan asso citations insurance companies and land banks, all of which have repaid the greater part of their obligations The intermediate credit banks have squared entirely a comparatively small debt of $9 25O,000.

Gold from the Sea.
n1ents.
(New York Times.)

That there is gold in the sea chemists have known these many years. According to the Smith sonian Institutions Physical Tables there is enough to yield $24,000 at present prices to each of the two billion people on earth More than one attempt has been made to garner this wealth. The cost of reducing mere speck of gold from thousands of tons of water is too great Yet earlier in the year Thomas Mdgley, Jr, held out the prospect Of ultimate success. Now comes Willard H. Dow, Presi- dent of company which successfully extracts prom inc from sea water, with the announcement that from twelve tons of ocean mere speck of gold has been reduced at a cost which is about ten times the market price Discouraging this may seem, it is nevertheless a good start
 Consider the immense and costly apparatus re- qured to achieve this insignificant result and then turn to the life of the sea. There is more gold in the pankton which whale and fish feed than in the surrounding water. Dr. Fritz Haber, first to reduce gold from the ocean, even suggested that it might be more profitable to exploit these minute organisms than to bother about handling cubic meters of water. At any rate, it is clear that infintesmal life has way of making the give up its gold that is far efficient than any process yet devised by man.

HAPPINESS FROM SKILLED HANDS.

Henry Ford in a recent magazine article advises to teach children to use their hands as well as their heads and thus equip them for useful happy lives"
 From many points of view this is practical advice that parents will be interested in, and by encouraging their children to develop manual skill contribute to their future economic security and to their happiness well.
 Manual skill in the arts of home making is obviously beneficial to girls who will be future home makers likewise manual skill in all branches of mechanics is obviously good for boys But learn ing to skllfully hands has much greater poten- tialities than the performing of tasks.
 It results in creating and having a great con- tinued source of happiness and pleasure throughout a lifetime.
 Along with many other practical people MT Ford realizes this when he says: We put lot of stress on happiness. Pleasure is a big thing in life the finest pleasures those we discover and develop ourselves. I would feel schools (Ndr. Ford refers to his schools where 2000 children learning to living by doing) were failures if we turned out boys and girls who would have to buy all their recreations. The world is full of agreeable experiences for those who have been taught to perceive them"
 Ability to play a musical instrument reasonably well, can be constant source of expression recrea- ion and satisfaction throughout the span of life to the person who acquires the skill in childhood, and at times may furnish economic help.
 Like satisfaction possible profit comes from manual skill in the creating and building well of everything from ship models radio sets, miniature engines to houses gardens, pleasure boats, or fine needle work work sketches, oil paintings and the thousand and things that can be made by trained hands, whether the work be hobby or for profit a combination of both
 The rewards in happiness and contentment are indescribabe, but real and obvious when we think of some friend we know who is handy" with this or that
 Parents who encourage their children to develop manual skill in any direction, toward which they show aptitude, building up reservoir of future happiness for their children that will be of ines timable value, and satisfaction to them through out their adult years

 Mild coughs often yield to lesser helps. No one can tell. No one knows which factor will do most for any certain cough. So careful people, more and more, are using Creomulsion for any cough that starts.
