Kansas City Wins
Association Flaq

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. g..
CUP)-The Kansas City Blues, who
completed a success cycle in six
months by Transforming a roster
jammed with sandlotters into a
galaxy OF high priced stars, pre-
sented the home fans today their
first American association pennant
in 10 years.
The Blues finished in third place
last year, then struck a seasonal
high to win the ShaughneSSy play
off and subsequently, the little
worlds series from the Newark
Bears, their International league
cousins.
The Yankee management prompt
ly disassembled the team for mon
etary reasons and sent scouts into
the wilds to recruit young talent.
They came back with a dozen
youngsters all named Joe Dokes,
tossed in a few major league cast
offs for color, and told Meyer to
come up with another champion
ship.
He did, and the outfit with
which he started the season tagging
behind. was today worth $500,OOO
in salable players alone.
Vince DiMaggio, who flunked with
the Boston Bees last season, blast
ed his 45th homer. Weeks ago he
was sold for $4,000 cash and two
$4,000 players to the Cincinnati
Reds.

The ions anticipated yellowfin
tuna run is on Thursday the sports
fishing boat Mascot III" operat-
ing on the fishing banks south OF
the Coronado Islands, recorded a
catch OF SIS yellowfin and one alba
core The largest tuna weighed 80
pounds Shippers of live-bait boats
predict that the run will continue
for at least two weeks
Speaking OF big game fish. a
total of 80 Marlin swordfish haG
been taken off San Diego, includ-
ing September 4th.
Sports fishing boats continue TO
bring in loads of barracuda, bass,
bottom fish. bonito and lesser num-
bers of white sea bass. Localities
which have been the best produc-
ing areas are the waters adjacent
TO the Coronados, the fishing banks
about fourteen miles south OF the
Mexican islands and the Point Lo-
ma kelp beds.
Surf and bay fishing along the
coast. from Oceanside south. has
been mediocre OF late. Fair catches
of corvina, croakers, bass. halibut
founders and other varieties OF
edible fish are rewarding anglers
Torrey Pines surf. the Mission
Beach area. Causeway No. /. mouth
of the San Diego river and Crown
Point are favored spots.
Fresh water angling in the San
Diego mountains is fair. Recent
rains have temporarily furnished
the fish with an abundance Of food
which of course has caused them
TO lose interest in fishermen's lures
Despite this handicap good catches
of crappie, blue giils and catfish
are being taken daily at Lake Hen
shaw. Limited strings OF bass are
being brought back by the more
skilful anglers. Morena dam is pro-
ducing limits of bass for fisher
men who understand the technique
Of angling for them. Mud sucker:
and plugs are proving the oes'
lures, although several valley an
glers have used crickets with tell
ing effect. Incidentally there art
enough crickets in the Imperia
Valley now to feed all the fish IL
southern California, includln!
mountain lakes, streams and tn
Pacific oceani
Slightly cooler weather has re
vived fishing in the vicinity c
Imperial dam One fifteen pounde
was caught in that area this wee
by local angler who used live bal
as a persuaoer.
Prior to our recent deiuge, goot
catches Of mullet were made in tn
New river sector west OF Imperia,
Although the mullet is supposed Z
be vegetarian, angle worms hav
been proving irresistible to vale
members of this piscatorial tribe.

FOREST HILLS. N. Y, Sept. 8.
GUP)-Gene Mako. veteran inter-
nationalist and a finalist against
Don Bulge here last year, was
crushed in straight sets by little
known Edward Alloo in a second
round match of the National tennis
singles championship today.
Capitalizing on Makos miserable
service and weak backhand, Alloo
scored Ga, 60, 60 victory over
the man who only year ago was
the sensation of the tournament
The triumph of the young Cali
fornian was the standout perfor-
nance of a day that saw half the
scheduled matches washed out by
a thunder and hail storm late in
the afternoon.
The storm broke with 16 matches
still not completed and set the
tournament back a full day as the
committee said that tomorrow's
program would be devoted to the
unfinished business. The rain and
hail pelted spectators who were
watching a brilliant duel between
BitSy Grant of Atlanta and Sidney
Wood of New York. Grant had
Won the first set, 6-3, and was
leading 12-11 in the second.
Mako, third in national ranking
and ninth in the seeded list, was
the only casualty among the top
notchers. Bobby Riggs, Wimbledon
champion and seeded No. /, toyed
with Felicisimo Ampon of the Phil
lippine Davis Cup team to win 2-6,

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9. (UPo =
Shorty Hogue, former amateur mid
dleweight champion of the United
States, suffered from a cash over
his left eye, a second loss in pro-
feSsional fighting and a bruised
reputation today, following his de-
feat at the hands of Tommy Gar
land. Santa Monica. in the main
event at the Coliseum Friday night.
Garland, a sharp puncher With
either and both fists, pegged away
at Shorty to open a cut over MS
left eye and score his second
straight technical kayo over the
Jacumba twin. Garland stopped
Hogue in a previous meeting sew
eral months ago.
Hogue had a bit the better OF
the milling in the first round
though Garland shook him in the
closing minutes with snappy
right hand.
In the second Shorty again took
the offensive. driving home rights
and lefts. Garland backed slowly
smashing with both hands. He lift
ed a right into Shorty's chin a.
Hogue landed with right hook
then Garland threw a stiff righ
to Hogue's eye to start the BLOOD
flowing.
The slugging middleweights fin
iShed the round, but an examina
ton of Shortys eye revealed
would be dangerous to continue.
The twin will be forced TO la,
off for at least one month.

Brisbin Feed Store
At Willow Burns

The feed store and contents in
Willow River, owned and operated
by George Brisbin for the past sew
eral years, was destroyed by fire
early Monday morning. The first re-
port of the fire was turned in by Mrs.
Ed Molis and her son, Ralph, of
Denham. They had just returned from
a trip east of the village. They drove
through town at 12:45 o'clock and
there was no sight of fire, but they
were gone about As minutes and on
their return the building was all
ablaze. They called Herb johnson
and the alarm was given, but too
late to save anything except the lot"
and surrounding buildings. Had
there been a wind from either direc-
ton, several other places would
have been endangered.
The building was one of the old
ones built in mill times and rebuilt
to accommodate this industry. Mr..
Brisbin has been a resident of this
village for more than 80 years. He
was married to Miss Emma Stepan
and they have two grown children,
Miss June, who is attending the State
Teachers college at Duluth, and a
son, George, who stays at home.

Potato Freight
Rate Cut Sought
State Railroad & Ware
house Commission Work
ing to Benefit Producers.

Commissioner Hjalmar Petersen OF
the Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission stated today that
notice has been received from south
western railways that public hearings
will be held in st. Louis, Missouri
Monday and Tuesday, November 20
and 81, on the petition of Minnesota
potato producers asking for reduced
freight rates on potatoes, onions,
rutabagas and turnips from Minnesota
to Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma
and Texas.
Rates on shipments of these COM
modities from Idaho, Nebraska and
Colorado to southwestern destinations
were substantially reduced on Octo-
Der l of this year, but no reductions
were granted on rates from Minnesota
producing sections. When the re-
duced rates from Idaho, Nebraska
and Colorado were permitted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
become effective, the Minnesota Com
mission voted to file a formal COM
plant with the Interstate Commerce
Commission to correct the discrimin-
atory situation. Such action was de-
ferred, however, pending voluntary
revision by the carriers of the rates
from Minnesota producing points.
Lower Minnesota rates are neces-
sary, the Minnesota Commission con-
tends, in order that shippers in this
state may compete with Idaho, Ne
braska and Colorado producers.
