ices until they develop a snarl that
will make the cab driver leave his
seat.
Experienced players often work up
a driver to such a pitch that he
not only steps out of his machine,
but follows the passenger up the
street, mixing snarls with words
that make one realize how incom-
plete are modern dictionaries.
A player is said to be an inter
nationalist when he has accom-
plished one of two things; either
to have given no tip at all and es-
capped with minor bruises, or to
have the driver finally reject the
tip altogether.
No player, however, has been
known to earn internationalist
rating by the latter method.
Taxi driver snarling-back like
every other sport, has its fanatics.
There are certain Partisan players
who have set an almost unreach-
able goal: to find a cab driver who
will thank them for the tip. One
driver has been found who, upon
being tipped two hundred francs
for a three-block ride, was gracious
enough not to bite the coins to see
if they were genuine.

TOO GOOD FOR
8. D. OUTFIT

Behind the steady twirling of
Bob Fowler, Maggios southpaw
pitching ace, the local All Stars
BANKED the Atterbury- Mills Auc-
tioneers of San Diego here last
night. The final score was Ito
with Fowler in control of the sit
uation at all times.
The visitors threatened repeat
edly getting men on bases in the
early innings of the game but
failed to show the necessary hit
ting punch to bring the runners
in with the scores. Eighteen hits
were pounded out by the locals in
Guiding an assortment of homeruns,
triples, doubles and singles. The
boys had their batting clothes on
and Carlson, the visiting pitcher
never had a chance to subdue
them.
Ell Centre scored twice in the
first inning, three times in the
fourth; two runs were pushed
over the plate in the fifth with
another in the sixth and the final
three in the seventh.
The visitors are on tour of the
valley with another game to be
played in Calexico against the
border city All Stars tonight and
two games in Yuma tomorrow.
The All Stars will leave for San
Diego today where they are to
play two games against the strong
Hofbrau aggregation on Sports
field. The first game will be played
tonight with another on tap foi
tomorrow night. The Hofbraus
boast one of the strongest lineups
ever to represent a San Diego con-
Germ and playing in their owr
bailiwick ought to be plenty tough
to beat.

DIR. Fox Reports
On Hipass Cases

DR.. Warren F.. Fox, county health
officer, visited the Hipass Health
camp Wednesday night and found
the suspected cases OF infantile
paralysis to be in excellent con-
dition, he said today. Temperatures
were all normal and there was no
evidences of paralysis. The six
patients appear normal in every
way. Likewise there were no new
cases in the rest of the camp and
no reported illnesses.
IT believe this information should
reassure the Imperial county par
ents whose children are at the
camp" said the doctor, "and. as
stated previously. the camp itself
will be released from quarantine,
Monday, by the San Diego county
health officer, if no cases or sus-
pected cases develop. The children
in camp are playing baseball and
other games, and leading the usual
camp life. They seem to be happy
and enjoying themselves"

GIANTS SPLIT
WITH CARDS
BY THEON WRIGHT
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, July III. - The New
York Giants are showing unmis-
takeable signs of improvement. It
required two deans to beat them
yesterday.
The score was 7 to 2 for the Car
dinals, and the fellow on the wrong
end was Carl Hubbell, Giants No.
/ pitching man.
Freddy Fitzsimmons evened 1t
up in the second game of the
doubleheader, New York winning
6-3. He allowed only two hits for
eight innings, while Hank Lieber
recruited from Nashville, was help
ing the Giants with homer, a
double and a single.
Meanwhile, Chicago's Jim Weaver
was losing his first game of the
season to Brooklyn, 6-3, which add
ed half game to New York's lead
over the league.
Larry French shut out the Phils
in the opener, 80, as Pittsburgh
split double header. Three dou-
BILE plays helped Curt Davis win.
the nightcap for Philadelphia 5-3.
The Cincinnati Reds droubbed
three Boston pitchers, 1875.
The New York Yankees regained
the lead in the American league,
beating st. Louis, 81, behind the
four-hit pitching of Vernon Go

WIMBLEDON. Eng, July 81. =.
The French, like the English, have
a sport which thousands upon thou
sands play, yet is never mentioned
in the sporting page and is scarce
~ known to the outside word. The
English game, as we have men
toned, is nightingale istening-to;
the French sport is taXicab- driver
snarling-back-at.
There are few streets in Paris
on which the game isn't played, at
all times of the day and night. In
crowded sections it is not at all
uncommon to see 20 brisk contests
in progress in single block.
The gene is an old one, having
been originated by the first Partisan
cab driver and his first passenger
on their first trip. When the pas
Senger paid his fare and tipped the
oriver, the latter, after carefully
examining the money as it rested in
his palm, suddenly snarled at the
passenger.
The passenger snarled back.
Since that time, every driver and
every passenger have snarled at
each other at the end of every ride.
There is no way of avoiding the
game, once you get in a cab, be-
cause no matter what you tip, even
a hundred franc note, which is
about five dollars-it draws a snarl.
Try as you may, you cannot resist
snarling back. I have seen kind,
lovely old women, naughty dow
ayers, dainty debutantes and i'm
perious old gentlemen lean over the
cab doors and snarl until they
sounded like timber wolves defend
ing their young.
There are a half dozen varieties
of the game. To simply snarl back
and walk away is the simplest one,
and is practiced only by beginners.
In fact, players are considered nov

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
(By United Press)


The skill that has made old
Frank Shellenback a leading per-
former in the Pacific Coast league
for 20 years turned back the Holly
wood stars toward winning ways to-
day.
"Shellie" arrested the downward
slide of his club bv hurting them
to an 11-4 win over the Mission
Reds yesterday.
The arm that has scored 271 wins
in two-score seasons turned back
q club which boasts two of the best
hitters in the circuit-Almeda and
Ekhardt-in its array.
Shellenback climaxed a great
performance by retiring the side
without a run when three singles
filled the bases with none out in
the eighth. The victory lifted Hol-
lywood into a tie for third with the
Missions.
Los Angeles gained game on
the pace-setting San Francisco
Seals by an 81 victory over the
leaders. Five runs in the first in
ming gave the Angels a lead that
never was overcome. Garland gave
the Seals six hits.
Seattle scored its third straight
over Sacramento when Herman Pill
lette pitched a six-hit shutout. Ber-
gers home run topped three-run
outburst in the sixth inning. The
final score was SO.
Portland pounded two Oakland
hurlers for IA hits to defeat the
Oaks, 8-5. The win put the Beav-
ers ahead in the series, two VIC
tories to one.

CARDINALS FAVORED SLIGHTLY
TO WIN AS WEDNESDAYS FIRST
SERIES GAME AT DETROIT NEAR
Are Due at Detroit To-
day: Ticket Sales
Move Rapidly
By STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

DETROIT, Oct. 2.-(UP).-
William Gordon Mickey Coch-
ranc cracked the whip on his De-
troit Tigers yesterday in final
serious practice for the world Sc
rieS, while their lately determined
rivals, the st. Louis Cardinals, en-
trained for the baseball classic.
The Cards wee due here this
morning. They'll hold an extend
ed drill and will try to learn some
thing about the lights and shadows
of the Steel-ribbed stadium known
as Navin field, home cage of the
Tigers.
The Cards were slight betting
favoritcS 20 win the series and the
TIGERS to take the first game.
Meantime Detroit was rapidly
becoming Il real world series city.
Hotels were filling rapidly-S0me
of them already booked to capac-
ity for the series period starting
officially on Wednesday.
Yesterdays main activity was
the purchase Of tickets which were
becoming scarcer and scarccr as
the time Of the first game ncarCd.
The casual baseball fan had as
much chance of buying ticket as
a cub reporter of getting an inter
view with !. L. Morgan.
The real Tiger fans put in
their bids a week ago, and moss
of them were given floSSy, serial
numbered Identification cards.
These gave the holders the privi-
lege of standing in line for hours
yesterday, awaiting turns at the
Navin field ticket windows. r. .
The scalperS already were at
work. They asked $50 for sets of
three tickets which originally cost
$3.50. Business, however. was
anything but brisk and no sales
at such Outlandish figures were
reported. Given a break in the
weather, and provided internal
revenue operatives don't catch up
with them, the specs probably will
do a nice business by l:30 p. m.
Wednesday when the first game
is to start. r-..
This is because Narin field seats
only $1,000, and Detroit fans
alone would fill the park, to say
nothing of the outsiders. The Ma
wins gambled some weeks ago and
began construction of emergency
stands, hoping they'd get into the
series. 1t was good gamble, for
the 1900 temporary seats which
cost some $4,000 to build will
pay for themselves many times
over before the series ends. r."
Mike COchrane today said he
would stick to his original decision
and pitch his ace, Lynwood
(SchOolboy) Rowe, in the opener.
"I'd be a nut to do anything
else" he said. co.. e-' --.' .e.
Tiger fans were arguing over
the probable Cards hurler, but
everybody. including the advance
detail of baseball men here be-
licve it will he Dizzy Dean, senior
member of the famous st. Louis
pitching firm oE Dean and Dean.

Fletcher scored all its runs in
the first three innings. A single

in a straight row, each exactly yard from
the next you have no doubt they were planted
by man"
A LONE hair that might have come from
n the suspect, a spot of blood that might
have come from his victim, a haf-identifcation
of the suspect by passerby are not enough to
convict; but if to that evidence is added a
motive and markings on a fatal bullet that
indicate it probably came from the accused
mans gum the proof Of guilt becomes very
strong.
Two branches of crime detection that figure
largely in the bureaus work gun and hand
writing identification. The possibilities and
limitations of both often misunderstood by
the public, partly through exaggerated claims
made for them by enthusiasts and partly
through the confusion which has been created
by psuedo-experts.
Not every bullet can be linked to the gun that
fired it. If the bullet has been f1attened out by
striking hard substance, if it has been
carelessly handled and acquired confusing
marks If the gun that fired it has been used
frequently and for long time or has lain in
water and rusted between the firing in ques-
ton and the attempted Identification, results Of
examination may be doubtful or useless.
The comparison of specimens of handwriting
Is another matter Every lterate person in time
develops writing characteristics that are more
individual to him than his speech-matters OF
letter and figure formation, of letter joining
and spacing, of margin and line spacing, Of
pen and pencil pressure, Of letter size, singly
and in relation to capitals.
It is possible to disguise these characteris-
tics, but it requires q skill and wit few people
possess.
In the comparison Of disguised handwriting.
such as that used in ransom notes, the like
that crop up in spite of all efforts are
the damning items. The frequent recurrence
of six or eight characteristics in disguised
specimen is considered fairly damning proof OF
guilt, with only a very small margin remaining
for error.
The pseudo-expert is particularly prominent
In cases involving the identification of hand

Graves he will swear to an infallbility that no
genuine expert would dare.
One of the great services that the Federal
Crime Bureau hopes to perform is the provision
of impartial handwriting experts, available to
defense and prosecution alike, who will drive
the quack-expert from the field.
