NEWS A.P. SERVICE Volume XXXIV SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 6,. 1924 Number 134 Today's Winning Battery jjjjj S3 O'Connell Is Halted By Letter Great Valleys Sacramento Joaquin Of The And San Profit Most WZiMMAM sens v- "5, i ROSY RYAN XEW YORK, Oct. Jim-mie O'Connell, Giant outfielder banished from baseball after confessing a part in the effort to bribe Heinle Sand of the Phillies, to throw a game, today declared he would delay his departure for his California home when he saw a letter alleged to have-been written by a Broadway gambler. The anonymous letter, which was printed in New York newspapers, said a certain group had wagered $100,000 that New York would win the National league flag by two games, that $5000 had been paid' over to Giant players in the bribe effort.

The crippling of the team late in the season, the letter said, "worried the gamblers about, those two games," undoubtedly referring to the last two contests of the season with the Phillies at the Polo Grounds. O'Connell seemed to be heartened; by the letter insisting that he was only the ''goat" and as he has maintained since being cast out by Commissioner Landis. Sidney Erickson, employed for the past year as a cook at the Unique restaurant, reported to the police last night that a bullet had pierced the rear of his machine and continued its path through the windshield, where it left a glaring hole. Erickson, as being his eustom, had parked his machine on Lincoln street near the revival tent, opposite Joe's Tamale parlor, early Sunday morning. On returning to his car at ten o'clock the same evening ho noticed the hole in the windshield, after which he notified the police.

He had wiped his windshield on starting from his home in the vicinity of the old San Vicente mill early in the morning and remembered that there was no hole in it at that time. Police, under the supervision of Chief Hannah, investigating the damage, stated that the bullet had undoubtedly come from a great distance, as its force was nearly spent when it reached the windshield. It tore considerable glass from the inside of the shield and then keyholed toward its outer opening. Mr. Erickson can advance no reason for a shot, being fired at either himself or his machine.

Police are diligently working on every clue, that may lead to the apprehension of whoever fired the charge. TAU PHAGES OVER JVINK SAX BERNARDINO, Oct. 6.

At Chico the total precipitation for the storm period was 2.01 inches, which gave a new lease on life to the Chico region; at Point Reyes, on the coast, 1.10 inches; Fresno and Merced were given .20 and .40 inches respectively; Red Bluff received 1.64 inches for the storm period, while the figure at Sacramento was 1.10; in San Francisco .58 inches fell and in Santa Rosa, and through the rich, parched Sonoma valley .83 inches. The forecast for today and tomorrow for the whole state was unsettled and possibly showery weather. WOULD BE ELECTED, SENATOR LA FOLLETTE SAYS ROCHESTER, N. Oct.
