FOREST BLAZE
CONTROLLED In
BERDU REGION

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, July
2. UP)-A forest fire which burned
near here for four days was re-
ported under control today after
having swept across 1900 acres of
timber and brush.
More than 1000 fire fighters were
aided in finally placing the blaze
under control by a MINDLESS day
and night, accompanied by low
humidity.
The fire was defeated when the
workers completed a 30-foot fire
break which it could not jump.
Assistant Fire Supervisor F. A.
Robinson said it was the worst for
est fire in this area in recent years
and damage would have been
greater had rangers not been able
to rush in the trained fire fighters

Man O. War Had ''It";
Was Champ of Champs

Man O. War, who knew his true
worth and never let anybody forget it
even though success never went to his
head, was another personality horse.
Being a champion of champions and
the Joe Louis of his day and business,
he must occasionally have been bored
by the feeble competition provided for
him. But he never let on about this.
Always when he passed through the
paddock gate some spark seemed to
flash between him and the crowd. Then
people settled back, calm in the per-
feet knowledge that here was cham

IF BREvlTY ever gives up racing he
should have a great future as
movie star or congressman. The bay
three-year-old, who still would be the
best-looking thing on the turf II he
could not breeze Derby distances in
record time, can act. Furthermore, he
has that sort of appeal which puts the
crowd on his side from the moment
when he is first led into public view.
Most of the truly successful thor
oughbreds of other years have had
these qualities, which are far more en-
during than the records when indicat-
ing real class.
Exterminator was so far from being
a handsome horse that he was called
"Old Bones" But the words always
were uttered with affectionate admira-
ton. Billy Kelly, Commander Ross
little sprinter who was so we'll loved
by the crowds of is years or so ago,
had similar way of communing with
his audience. Billy, who, like 6revity,
had great fondness for Jumps of
sugar, used to thrust his muzzle over
the rail in search of stray offerings of
sWeetmeats.

n are at it again. Right now they
are making mugs out of the records
and laws of probability by indicating
that the PhiIIies are one of the classi-
est clubs performing in these parts.
II is upon the playing field, rather
than upon paper, that appearances do
their best for Jimmy Wilson's young
men, too. Judged solely off their
Grapefruit league box scores they are
not impressive.
These present Phillies hustle. In
marked contrast to their Shibe park
rivals, they seem always striving to
do the most with their opportunities.
Such spirit in itself often enables them
to come up with plays that might 9th
erwise seem impossible and, given rea-
sonable opportunity for expression,
might well win many hard-fought
games next summer.
Yet-since Baker bowl has SO fire.
quentIy had a wearing effect upon
other briskIy-moVing springtime favor
itss-basebaII men here hold out little
save sixth place hopes for the present
team. Even though the pitching must
surely be improved over 1885, the PhiIs
lack punch of the Babe Ruth, Chuck
Klein, Jimmy Foxx variety.
There are eight infelders on the
roster. Only one of them-Gene Cor
bett, who did it for Winnipeg and so
has little chance of winning a regular
job anyhOw-hit better than 800 last
year. Leo Norris, the shOrtstOp who
served such long term with Mime
apOlis, has power. Dolph Camilli, the
first baseman, slaps long ball.
The others simply are not good hit
tiers. The sparkling little Jose Gomez,
who fields in a manner reminiscent of
Hughey Critz land who makes double
plays far better), lacks the muscle.
The goId-toothed coal miner, Mike Has
lin, is one of the leagues best fighters,
and there are PhiIs who swear that he
blow. But, even though he has the
muscle and probably times a change
of pace as we'll as any man, his punch
is sadly lacking at the plate.
In the Outfield there is no vast i'm
prOvement. Ethan Allen is a far smart
er hitter now than in his youthful Gin
cinnati days, but his shrewdly placed
blows no longer carry so much dis
lance. He hit .307 last year and is
the best of the gardeners, even though
Johnny Moore Outbatted him nv 16
points.
Woody Alternately, the huge and fleet
man bought from Baltimore, should be
a good batter but he lacks finish at the
plate. Morris ArnOvich, the fast and
wiry Jewish boy brought up from
Hazleton, needs a season or two before
he can slap big-time pitching.

Need Superior Pitching
When Lacking Sluggers

Since no one of the catchers, Wilson,
Bob Grace or Bill Atwood, the rookie,
are notable sluggers. the Pills, thus,
would seem to need superior pitching
and alright defense if they are to
climb out of their accustomed depths.
Undoubtedly they will field better
than most Baker bowl representatives
have fieIded in the past. Undoubtedly
also one or two veteran pitchers are
improved, while there are recruits
whose forthcoming efforts can be noted
with prayerful admiration.
Bucky Walters fast ball makes the
reformed infelder a subject of praise
whenever other players discuss the
team. Joe Bowman now knows how
to slow up on the batter and can ham
die other trick stuff better than when
he was Giant. The big Indian, Fuel
MoOrse, is improving physically over
last season and declares that his arm
is as good as in his rookie year.
Among the youngsters there is Passo
Passeau, reluctantly given up by the
Pirates in the Todd deal. He is one
of the most eminent of strike-out ar
lists, having famed 239 batters in 244
innings while hurting for Charleston
in 1884. When the usually seIf-con-
tanned Wilson talks about him, the air
Is filled with adjectives concerning one
of the best fast balls in the business.
Along with Kelleher, sturdy young
Pennsylvania taxpayer who has tidy
curve and fields almost as well as Fred
FitzsimmOns, he seems to need only the
leavening experience of another season
in the minors. When they have had
that they may rank along with Curt
Davis in Philadelphia.
That is, of course, if the aging Davis
is around Philadelphia at the time.

What A Lawyers
Client Should Know

A lawsuit is an unusual event
to the average person. He may
have but one in a lifetime. To
him it seems to be a contest of
words, an argument-a few
calisthenics. He seldom knows
the work that has preceded the
words he hears in court. He
does not know. the hours of
labor his lawyer has devoted to
briefing the law. He does not
know that in almost every law
suit this work is necessary. He
does not know that no lawyer
knows all the law.
1t is said by Corpus Juris
that $4,000 distinct and sep
arate propositions of law are
digested that Of these a good
lawyer knows but 10,
Assuming that the judge is a
good lawyer, he may know no
more on the subject presented
to him than the lawyer who is
trying the case knew about the
subject before he began to look
up the law. Is it surprising,
then, that the judge is grateful
for the results of the hours of
labor in research by which the
trial brief is produced and by
which ultimate justice is rend-
ered7 Under those conditions
the responsibility of the lawyer
is great in a large measure the
quality of justice depends up
on his industry and research.
These are matters about
which the client knows little.
Is it surprising then that some
times the client wonders, when
the bill comes, whether he is
not paying too high a price for
the little demonstration he sees
in COURT The occasional differ
ence between the lawyer and
his client is frequently due to
this cause. He should be made
to know that no lawyer oan
know all the law and that the
client is paying also for the
time and labor in research
which was necessary in his case.
Arthur G. Thomson,
District Judge.
