HUGHES WILL START AT PASADENA Expect Record Crowd For Amateur Game Sunday at Pasadena The biggest crowd that has witnessed an amateur or semi-pro baseball game in So. Calif. this year is expected at Brookside park, Pasadena, Sunday, when Anaheim Elks meet the Crown City antlers for the championship of the southland. The two teams are the champions of their respective divisions in the Elks' state baseball league. The winners of the three-game series will meet the winners of the San Joaquin valley, which will probably be Bakersfield. The winners of that clash will be eligible for the finals with the champions of No. Calif. at the Elks' state convention in San Jose in October. Anaheim and Pasadena were finalists in So. Calif. last year, Anaheim losing out in the finals at the state convention which was held at Sacramento. Both Anaheim and Pasadena have stronger teams than last year. The first game between the two Program for Weekly Concert Thursday Eve. The Anaheim Municipal band will give the following program at the city park Thursday evening: March—Brooks' Chicago Marine Band ... Selitz Overture—Poet and Peasant ... Suppe Clarinet Solo—Two Little Bulfinches ... Kling Waltz—Wedding of the Winds ... Hall Vocal Solo—Little Crumbs of Happiness ... Ball Mr. Wm. Gallienne Characteristic—Oh, You Drummer Hill Baritone Solo—Fantasia II Trovatore ... Verdi Mr. J. D. Weaver March—Royal Decree ... English CONTINUE PROBE OF OIL DERRICK FIRE Officials of the Selby-Root-Hogue Oil Co. continued their investigation today into the cause of the mysterious fire which destroyed the rig at Wordman well No. 5 Monday night. The fire was discovered when the fireman went to look over his boilers. He saw the smoke and some blazing oil around the structure. He reported to the clerk of the warehouse, Carr, who called for assistance. In the meantime, the engineer had turned the hose on the blaze, this seemingly only to spread the fire, which completely burned the rig. The fact that there was considerable oil about the place and that the fire burned from all directions at once, gives it a very mysterious aspect, according to those in charge. MOVIE OF MOVED ANAH Clint Pedrick Sature Will Be Here Mr. Clint Pedrick known Anaheim was the origin of the new Caliter, has opened and intends to cal theater for erations. He holds the leafornia hotel, in thibldg, and will opera Mr. Pedrick is Super Film Corp.a office from Los Angeles This corporation has feature picture,"The illization" which is Asla He proposes art work, titles, etc film will bear "Made in Anaheim ed which will mean vertising for the country. It is probable that Super Film Corp.'s helm will mean the film studio here al will meet the winners of the San Joaquin valley, which will probably be Bakersfield. The winners of that clash will be eligible for the finals with the champions of No. Calif. at the Elks' state convention in San Jose in October. Anaheim and Pasadena were finalists in So. Calif. last year, Anaheim losing out in the finals at the state convention which was held at Sacramento. Both Anaheim and Pasadena have stronger teams than last year. The first game between the two clubs last year was fought on the Anaheim high school field. Manager Pete Hax failed to call the toss this time and the Crown City play-off claimed the advantage of staging the opening contest on their field. Anaheim has a mighty good ball club. It is well balanced and puts up a strong defense. Perhaps the only criticism that could be offered is a somewhat offensive evidence in four of the recent contests by permitting opposing teams to get the jump, scoring substantial margins before the locals got started. This would be disastrous in such games as Pasadena played last year. A number of the locals have the natural tendency to smack the ball la Babe Ruth. This has been particularly evident early in a number of contests and accounts for the leads opposing teams have grabbed off. Earlier in the season there was some criticism of the local's base running but there has been some improvement along this line. Manager Pete Hax announced today that the old reliable, Harry Hughes, former star twirler of the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league, would start the game unless something unforeseen happens. Both Hughes and Salveson will work out three times this week. Both looked good against Santa Ana last Sunday. Hughes had lots of steam but displayed the need of notice, the ball showing a tenacity to hit the ground when he bounced down. Benton who pitched wonderful ban against Anaheim last year, will again be on the mound for Pasadena, backed up by Wyckle. The remainder of Anaheim's lineup will be: Capt. Bus Callan and Curly McClain, catching; Ramage, first; Bush, second; Pendleton, short; Glenn Callan, third; Youngman, left field; Hawkins, center, and Lewis and Moffatt, right. Not only will the contest attract many residents of Anaheim and Pasadena but every other city which has been represented by an Elks' team will contribute its quota of fans of all other teams in Anaheim's division, no matter how hard they fought the locals in the preliminary rounds, were most ardent supporters of Anaheim in the semi-final clash with Pasadena. The fire was discovered when the fireman went to look over his boilers. He saw the smoke and smoke blazing oil around the structure. He reported to the clerk of the warehouse, Carr, who called for assistance. In the meantime, the engineer had turned the hose on the blaze, this seeming only to spread the fire, which completely burned the rig. The fact that there was considerable oil about the place and that the fire burned from all directions at once, gives it a very mysterious aspect, according to those in charge. N. H. Anderson is superintendent and John Sprague is tool pusher. HOLD INQUEST OVER MURDERED MEXICAN An inquiry was held at the undertaking parlor of Angus McAulay, Fullerton, over the body of Augustin Navarro, 56, killed Monday afternoon at the Baanchurch ranch. The jury reported death by a "gun-shot in the head, inflicted by some one unknown to us, with intent to kill." The search for the murdered, who is that to have been Antonio Mendoza is continuing, but Sheriff Jackson stated today that no positive clue had been obtained. Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning with interment at the Holy Cross cemetery in Anaheim. In addition to Coroner Charles D. Brown the jury was composed of W. M. Irwin, S. R. McGaughty, Emanuel Smith, G. Hamkins, Gan Hampkins and Hiram Crow.

Orange County Plain Day LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Wednesday, August 31, 1921. MOVIE OFFICE MOVED TO ANAHEIM Clint Pedrick Says Big Picture Will Be Finished Here Mr. Clint Pedrick, well-known Anaheim man who was the original promotor of the new California theater, has opened offices here and intends to acquire a local theater for further operations. He holds the lease of the California hotel, in the new Roberts-bldg, and will operate it. Mr. Pedrick is president of the Super Film Corp. and will move its office from Los Angeles to Anaheim. This corporation has financed a big feature picture, "The Cradle of Civilization," which is being filmed in Asia. He proposes to have all the art work, titles, etc., made here. The film will bear the trade mark, "Made in Anaheim." when completed which will mean considerable advertising for the city all over the country. It is probable the removal of the Super Film Corp.'s offices to Anaheim will mean the location of its film studio here also. BATTLES RAGE IN Thinks $37,000 Gone; It Was Safely In Safe J. S. Ward, secretary of the Richfield Southern Oil Co., was feeling pretty good today, after a rather nerve-wracking experience this morning when he thot for a time that he had suffered the loss of $37,000 in negotiable papers. He notified the police and the sheriff's office when he failed to locate a portfolio containing the valuables. However, he was greatly relieved to find that his stenographer Mrs. Elsie Schrank had locked up the portfolio in the safe in the offices on the second floor of the Cassou-bldg last night. Observing the portfolio on a desk when she was locking up last night, she shoved in into the safe. CENTRAL COMPLETES NO. 71 AT 1585 FT. Whittier-Santa Fe Springs The Central Oil Co. completed and put on production its No. 71 at 1585 feet. The new well came in at 15 barrels. While the production is small it must be remembered that the well is shallow and that this production will not fall off. No. 69 the big well brot in some time ago at 175 barrels is still making the initial production. The Ocean View Oil Co.'s No. 1 is pumping a little better than 20 barrels a day. No. 2 is rigging up but drilling has not started. On turning the 2300 mark the So. Cal. Oil Co. was greeted with some surprising showings of oil at Sanderson No. 1. Drilling is now at 2325 in hard sand. The Shell Co.'s Hart No. 1 is now drilling at 4035 in hard sand.

The following telegram was received by Chas. C. Kinsler, secretary of Brea oil workers, from the district council: "The following request was handed to district council conference committee tonight: "The Federal oil board has noted in the public press the statement attributed to officials of your organization that unless the operators in the oil industry of Cal. have signified by Sept. 1: 1921, their willingness to negotiate with the workmen in the oil industry and representatives of the U.

BATTLES RAGE IN STREETS OF BELFAST BELFAST, Aug. 31—Rioting of the most intense character broke out this morning. The sniping and shooting was widespread over the city. Hundreds of men were prevented from going to work. Eleven have been killed and more than 100 wounded. REPAIR ROOFS OF GRAMMAR SCHOOLS The roofer of the Central and Fremont school buildings are being repaired preparatory to the opening of the grammar schools Sept. 12, C. C. Smith, superintendent, stated this morning. Mr. Smith stated that the question is now being discussed as to whether outsiders will be admitted to the grammar schools this year, as they were last. There were about 50 outsiders in the grammar schools last year. If the county superintendent will permit the school to have the state and county tax money they will be; if not, they will not. The enrollment this year cannot yet be estimated, he said. At the end of the school last year it reached 275. RELATE EXPERIENCE WITH DISABLED BOAT LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31. — Refreshed with a long sleep after they had drifted perilously in the open sea for 32 hours when their craft became disabled, Dr. V. J. Gay of 1835 S. Gramercy and his two companions, Dale Batcheldor and Alfred Dann, told friends today the details of their harrowing trip following the beaching of their boat at Newport.

FINAL PLANS FOR It's to be a "hot time in the old celebration begins here at 10 o'clock Mon." of the Central Labor Union and Builders program lined up is one that finishes round of merriment. Final preparations for the big day were completed at a meeting of the locals at the Labor Temple last night, and a report from the various committees in charge of the events indicate that everything will be in place at the sound of the opening gun. A call was issued for everyone who could do so to be at Columbia Park Sunday morning to assist in preparing the grounds for the celebration. The city has furnished the lights for the occasion. The parade which will be one of the largest and most elaborate seen here for some time, will leave from in front of the high school building at 10 o'clock a.m., and will formally open the celebration. The various locals are asked to form at 9:30 o'clock on the side streets, and each in turn will enter the main line of march in their respective places. Visiting lodges will march with their respective local crafts. All highways in the county, and many of those of adjoining counties, have been marked designating the MYSTERY VICTORY An unidentified man of about 50 with a fractured skull among other injuries hospital as the result of being run down of Santa Ana, about 9 o'clock last miles from the Main-st turn.

Haunstein of Lima, O., has arri- rived in the Anaheim auto camping ground and is looking for a location for himself and family. He states that he is much pleased with Anaheim. He followed the Ocean-to-Ocean highway to Denver and from there he went to Cheyenne to take in the round-up, and then to the Yellowstone National park. In parts of the country he paid as high as 70 cents a gallon for gasoline. BUSINESS EXPERT TO SPEAK AT C. C. MEMBERS' MEETING George H. Knox, principal speaker at the C. of C. members' meeting called for tomorrow night at the Anaheim union high school, has trained more than 2000 salesmen in his time and is still going strong. Primarily, he is a salesman but it is to his credit that he combines, in a similarly striking fashion, the best characteristics of the class A execu- tive. It is not often that these two leading business traits are combined in one person, and when that person is also a gifted speaker, some idea of the treat in store for tomorrow night may be imagined. With all the above to his credit, it would seem to tax public credulity if Mr. Knox is also a PLANS FOR BIG DAY "hot time in the old town, mates," when the labor day is here at 10 o'clock Monday morning under the auspices of Labor Union and Building Trades Council of Orange.co. Lined up is one that guarantees old and young a route to Anaheim, and it is expected to draw large crowds from distant polls. C. C. Concle, general secretary, has been exceptionally busy during the past week in directing the various committees in their work, and according to an announcement made by him last night, the local event will be one of the largest labor-related activities in the southern part of the state. One of the feature attractions scheduled for the evening is the illuminated aeroplane which will give a fireworks display and will end the exhibition with a series of death-defying stunts. The plane will also be on the grounds during the afternoon and will carry passengers. Work of completing the decorations of the booths at the park will be finished by the volunteers Sunday morning, and enough to eat and drink for the entire crowd will be on hand. Music, dancing and athletic games of every description have been arranged, and at the conclusion of the affair, those in charge believe that the crowd will concede that it was a day of real sport. SEASON ON DOVES TO OPEN THURSDAY Anaheim nimrods were today busily engaged in cleaning their guns, bringing out their flannel shirts and khaki trousers, and talking about the opening of the dove season on Thursday, Sept. 1. For it seems that the dove crop will be better than normal this year and Anaheim hunters are desirous of baggage a few right off the bat for the family table. It seems probable, however, that the shooting season this year will be somewhat scattered as there is an unusual crop of the "dove weed" over this portion of the state and the dove weed forms the chief attraction now and many of the birds will undoubtedly be located in wheat fields, watering places, sunflower patches or roosting places. The dove season lasts until Oct. 1st. DAVENPORT PARADE WAS GREAT AFFAIR The Plain Dealer is in receipt of a copy of the Davenport, Iowa, Daily Times, which was sent by Dr. Sue Amack, containing an account of the sixth annual lyceum of the Palmer school of chiropractic held in that city. Thousands of members of the profession were in attendance and gorgeous and spectacular parade were given frequently. California was represented by a float bearing a huge horn of plenty, guarded by a uniformed ex-service man, and lead the beautiful array of state floats. Californians in the line of march wore hats topped with the California money and the same flower EVERY VICTIM OF AUTO filled man of about 50 is in a critical condition, suffering skull among other injuries, at the Santa Ana Community result of being run down by an auto driven by Fred Smith about 9 o'clock last night on the Newport-rd about 1½ Main-st turn.

Syndicate reports showings of oil in the shale. A boulder falling in on the pipe at the Nu Santa well cut down the drilling record for the weck. Hole is now being made at 1975 with the drilling in shale and the shale showing considerable gas. The Interstate Oil Co. is testing out for water at the Norris well at a depth of 2155. Work on the Mesa well has been temporarily suspended. The Long Beach Consolidated has resumed drilling. At 2915 the formation is showing brown shale and the showing of gas is strong. TAGGART HANDLES AUTOMOBILE PAPER Paul Taggart has opened offices in the Arcade building at 120 North Los Angeles-ot, and has engaged in the business of dealing in automobile paper. It is a new business for Anaheim and Mr. Taggart has the advantage of an entirely new territory, which he hopes to successfully develop. REPEAT POP-CORN SALE The ladies' Bible class will meet Thursday afternoon with Mrs. L. Bowen. It is earnestly hoped all members will be present, as work will be planned for the near future. The popcorn and candy sale will be repeated Saturday, as the one last week was financially pleasing. A copy of the Davenport, Iowa, Daily Times, which was sent by Dr. Sue Amack, containing an account of the sixth annual lyceum of the Palmer school of chiropractic held in that city Thousands of members of the profession were in attendance and gorgeous and spectacular parades were given frequently. California was represented by a float bearing a huge horn of plenty, guarded by a uniformed ex-service man, and lead the beautiful array of state floats. Californians in the line of march wore hats topped with the California poppy and the same flower was used extensively in trimming the float. Dr. Amack will visit a time in the east with relatives after the lyceum closes, planning to be absent about one month. NAT'L EXPLORATION RE-DRILLING AT 1100 Bixby Hills At Chino No. 1 the National Exploration Co. is now redrilling at 100 feet and with 200 feet more to go will be making new hole. The Olinda well is making hole and putting in casing at 3045. At 2785 the National Security Oil Co. ran into a nice showing of gas. The showing is the best the well has exhibited. The Orange County Petroleum Co. drilled its No. 1 to 1700 and now the well is standing idle awaiting adjacent developments. ALBACORE SCHOOL COMING Attention fishing fans! Within two or three days you may have the opportunity for some of the best ocean fishing you have ever had. The greatest school of albacore, so described by veteran fishermen, is now running off Point Loma and is working north along the coast. If the school is not broken up the fish should be along the Orange county coast within three days. Then get out the oil rod and reel, line, or what ever you use, and go to it. -If it's from Witman's It's good!
