needed All without exception served

Rather Tedious sob.
While Information required was
thorough and adequate. some five To
fifteen minutes WAS required Tor
each person registering, depending
on the readiness with which he could
furnish information necessary and
how fast the workers could record the
answers. Each man was given Il
card certificate showing that he had
complied with the law requiring him
to sign up.
ENeryW"erc there was complete or
der and quiet. There was little OF
the holIt,-- spirit III evidence, for
every one realized that his act made
him liable to call for years service
in military training as part Of the
nations preparedness program. No
disturbances of any kind were re-
ported anywhere in the county up to
early afternoon.
Reminder of 1917
The days procedure was q grim
reminder to thousands who looked
On of the similar registration on
june u. 1917, when men between
the age of u and 81 at that time
signed for possible call for duty with
the nation actually at war. The en-
rollmeut IN 1917 was not as great as
TO-DAY because the age brackets were
not so broad.
1t was estimated that some 1000
10 5000 persons would register IN
this county. All cards will be deliv-
cred by registrars to the chairman OF
the county elections board, directly
in charge. and he in utrn is 10 turn

companied by gloomy weather con-

Children from the schools Of the
city and county flocked to the Golden
Belt Fair today despite ,the sudden
drop in temperature and overcast
skies that threatened TO bring show
crs almost any minute. 1t was School
Day at the fair, and all white schools
gave half holiday to permit the chill
dren to attend. They were all ad-
mitted free if they obtained tickets
from their teachers.
Children from surrounding coun-
ties also had the privilege Of free adj
mission, the same as those from
Vance.
II was definitely the biggest day
so far for the fair. The young people
enjoyed the exhibit hall, where many
displays were of particular interest
to them. Blue ribbons were won by
the Henderson nigh school exhibit,
as also that by the Perry library.
There were agricultural and All
club exhibits, in the making of which
a number Of school children had
part. The same was true Of the Flu
ture Farmers Of America display
Home demonstration. art, handl-
craft and coo&1g exhibits were cen
tiers of interest also for rural and
urban youth.
The children spent much of the
afternoon and planned to spend Il
large part Of their evening stay al
the fair in riding the mcrry-go-
round, Shetland ponies, Ferris
wheels, rollo-plane, drive-yourSelf-
shooter and other rides on the giant

The usually large crowd of Tues

the sudden sharp drop in tempera-
ture accompanying the high wind
that blew up about dusk.
Because of the wind, the Zacchlni
act of shooting a man from huge
cannon was abandoned. Zacchlni Is
shot over the top Of two high Ferri:
wheels onto huge net opposite the
two rides. He gave his first perlo:-

for emitting the fireworks Tuesday

Bruins
eaten
By Jack Sords

PALO ALTO, Jan. 13. (UP) =
Given another player the calibre
Of Jackie Robinson, the Bruins of
University of California at Los
Angeles might go to town, might
even beat their cross-town brethren,
the University of Southern Califor-
mia.
But the Bruins had only one Rob-
inson and so were defeated, SO to 38,
by Stanford in a Pacific Coast
conference opener here last night.
The husky Negro athlete, who
shines on the court as well as on
the gridiron, the diamond or the
cinderpath, rolled up % points dur
ing the evening, all the hard way.
While Don Williams, the tall STAN
ford center, was accounting for %
digits, Williams was fed the ball
by his teammates; Robinson got
his the hard way. He scored eight
field goals and seven in free throws
and not personal foul was chalked
up against him.
Stanford had 81 to 18 lead at
half time.

Todays Sports Parade

had much too much power and
speed for my Giants when we met
in Milwaukee. But this game on
Sunday here is entirely different.
I have the pick of the league-out-
side of the packers. I'll admit that
through weather conditions, sup
posed to be quite unusual in Los
Angeles, that we haven't had quite
the chance needed to weld my
bunch together as team. But to me
football is largely material-by that
I mean players who can handle
their jobs. am also a great believer
in team play. But I am also a
great believer in brilliant individual
effort, I am a great believer in the
man who can handle his assign
ment. And I have my full share of
these men. If the weather is good,
and it has been terrible here for
twelve days, I'll not only have a
line that can meet anything the
Packers have to throw against me,
but I'll also have the best passing
combination any one team has ever
known. I have Dave O'Brien, foot
balls marvel midget. Parker Hall,
one of the star sophomores, and
Filchok.
But we'll have something more
than a passing attack. Well have
our share of running and blocking.
These boys in the pro ranks know
their football. 1t doesn't take any
too long to whip them into a pretty
fair team, on the side of team play.
1t should be terrific game, for I
can tell you honestly that both
sides are just as keen to win as ever
they were during the regular sea-
SON.
After talking with both Curley
Lambeau and Steve owen, am
sure this should be one of the best
and most interesting games that
football has ever known. Certainly
no game has ever seen as much
speed, power. savvy, and reserve
strength in the confines OF one
football field. . ..--....S.., .@.,--

Severe Drubbinu

Bobby Pacho, veteran boxing
maestro, went the way of all old

when Shorty Hogue, 19-year-olo

Pacho a severe drubbing in the

most accomplished boxers In these

Pacho, a little heavier, consider
ably slower than he was when he
faced Bigboy Hogue in Ell Centro

Hogue surprised the experts by

m throwing. And one of the cardi-
nal rules about hitting is that tne
batter shouldn't have a hltch IN
his swing. But what about Jimmy
FoxX?"
The Yankees sometimes have two
or three scouts look over player
before they take hina. This is eS-
pecially true where a large sum OF
money is involved or where one
scout isn't getting to first base In
signing the player. In 1925 Ed Bar
row sent three scouts to look over
Tony Iazzeri at Salt Lake City be-
fore closing the deal for $4,000
Two scouts locked over Joe d.
Maggie with San Francisco before
the Yankees bought him for
reported $4,000 and in addition
they had a doctor give DiMaggio's
injured knee a thorough examina-
ton. Bill Dickey was secuted by
two men before Barrow instructed
Johnny Nee to purchase him from
Little Rock for $4,000.
Gene McCann and Krchell team
ed up to scout Charley Keller with
the U. of Maryland before the
Yanks signed him. In the keen COM
petition to get Keller, the Yanks
outsmarted the other clubs that
were after him by making trip
to Middletown, O., to see Kellers
parents who lived on farm near
there. One of the Yankees previously
had gotten into the good graces
of KeIler's college coach. The coach
introduced him to Keller's financial
adviser who suggested the trip to
see the Keller parents. And the
Yankee scout didn't go out to
Middletown just to look over the
farming situation.
And there's one kind OF ball
player the Yanks steer clear Of
that's the temperamental, hard-to-
handle kind. The Yanks have had
few of these kind of players but
they always have gotten rid OF
them and now their scouts pass up
the priIna donna type.

Prospects Bright I!
For Class {
Baseball Loop

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 13. (UP)
Prospects are bright for class G
baseball league in California to
serve as a farm for Pacific Coast
league clubs, President Charles
Graham of the Seals said today.
Graham said he expected that
Merced and Fresno will be definitely
committed to the league by the
time the league official meet at San
Diego Tuesday.
San Francisco originally had plan
ned to back San Jose in the new
circuit but San Jose sponsors could
not complete new park in time
FOR the 1910 schedule.
The Seals therefore will sponsor
the Bakersfield club.
Los Angeles will back San Ber-
nardino, Hollywood will aid Santa
Barbara; San Diego is behind River
side: Oakland will take Merced
under its wing, and Fresno will be
backed by Sacramento. It was ex-
pected that San Jose and Stockton
will join the loop next year. Seattle
and Portland so far have not been
represented in discussions for the
new league.
Under plans already completed,
the farm clubs will be managed
locally, but supplied with players
from coast league clubs. The coast
league also will furnish uniforms
and some cash backing. Games will
be played nightly from Tuesday
through Saturday, with day games
on Sunday.
