THO 2 BOUTS HIT ROCKS, SHOW GOOD (By Sargum Spront) Despite the fact that two of the best bouts went on the rocks out at the fight emporium last night, the show was above par. Game Tex Jones tried to fight with a fractured mit but had to give up, and Babe Orton bunted his good right hand on the adament skull of Young Burton, these two accidents cut the shows affectiveness about 50 per cent and yet it was well worth the money, cold feet, etc., that it took to see it. Young Russell and Young Reff, two strangers, started the doings. Reef took the two first rounds and Russell the last two. This reciprocity act earned a draw for the lads. Tony Ross was about a mile and a half in the lead for the first three and a half rounds in his go with Tommy Reddy. Reddy had ignition trouble and was plugging along on one cylinder, a left jab, till the fight was about over, when he got to firing on all four. Tommy made a great finish but started too late. Enter Tex Jones and Benny Jordan. It took all of the first round for Jordon to learn that he was fighting a one handed man. In the second Jordan began to play his heavy artillery and Tex was in a bad way at the bell. At that Tex rocked Jordan from stem to stern with a couple of left swings. During the minutes rest Tex decided that Jordon was too good a man to fight with one hand and so forfeited the match. Tex should have kept out of the ring in the first place. Babe Orton and Young Burton staged the greatest battle of the ages for two rounds. The third began as the others had left off, but in the first minute Babe landed a terrific light to the head and snap went the middle finger and the best fight for moons came to an end. Babe was leading the black tiger by a fair margin when the accident happened. Babe had Burton sick with great the minutes rest Tex decided that Jordon was too good a man to fight with one hand and so forfeited the match. Tex should have kept out of the ring in the first place. Babe Orton and Young Burton staged the greatest battle of the ages for two rounds. The third began as the others had left off, but in the first minute Babe landed a terrific right to the head and snap went the middle finger and the best fight for moons came to an end. Babe was leading the black tiger by a fair margin when the accident happened. Babe had Burton sick with great body blows and Burton kept rocking Babe with straight rights and lefts to the head. Scotty Diest and Young Terry put on the feature show of the evening. Each boy had two rounds to their credits. Terry was a little the stronger at the finish, but the draw was not a bad decision. This was the best of the many fights between these two. Art Springer and Tobby Montoya fought another draw. Their last night's exhibition was not quite as good as the one of a week ago. May be the Deist-Terry affair sorta dimmed the main event, but neither of the little fellows seemed to go as they did the previous week. Last night's show was the last to be staged on Friday evenings. The next fistic feast will take place a week from Tuesday and thereafter Tuesday will be the regular fight night. ANAHEIM H. S. LOSE TO ORANGE 24 TO 20 Anaheim H. S. boys basketball squad lost to Orange lads last evening at the local gym, 24 to 20. The points scored closely from the first to final whistle.

This is Anaheim's last Double A league game unless it is still necessary after Sunday's game to play off the tie for first place with Pasadena. The grounds where Gardena was to the minutes rest Tex decided that Jordon was too good a man to fight with one hand and so forfeited the match. Tex should have kept out of the ring in the first place. Babe Orton and Young Burton staged the greatest battle of the ages for two rounds.

CYPRESS ATHLETIC CLUB HAS PROGRAM (By Sargum Sprout) The Cypress Athletic Club put on its first show Monday evening, and it was some show. The first number was a best two out of three falls wrestling contest between "Set 'em up" LaRue and "Terrible" Ted Thornton. LaRue won in straight falls but "Terrible Ted" was terrible to subdue. Then there was a dog boxing contest between "Smiling" Earl Smith and another of the "Terrible" Thornton tribe. The main event was a handicap catch-as-catch-can wrestling contest between "Paper weight" Priddy and "Herculine" Miller. Miller was to throw Priddy twice in 30 minutes. Miller secured one fall in three minutes. On the second trial Priddy landed a bad eye and had to forfeit the match. Priddy almost had Miller once with a combination hash knife and pitchfork hold. Lefty Fuquay and Smiling Smith put on a two-round boxing show: Oliver Twist champion welter of Cypress went three fast ronuds with battling Stadurt. All in all it was a whale of a show, especially in spots. Priddy and Miller were magnificent in skin tight bathing suits, and Terrible Ted and LaRue both showed up well in their togs. There were a number of the gentler sex present and their applause encouraged the athletes to their utmost ability.

Tyler Bliss, who was driving a spirited horse through a village when he overtook the local physician who happened to be on foot and invited him in for a lift. Ten minutes later the horse bolted, tipped over the carriage and spilled both men. The doctor rose to his feet and felt himself over to see whether he was injured. Then he turned angrily toward the clergyman. "See here," he demanded. "What do you mean by inviting men to ride behind an animal like that?" "Well," replied the minister mildly, "It was lucky that this time there was no bones broken. But I always like to have a doctor with me when I drive that horse." HUMBLING A CALIFORNIAN A Californian and New Englander were boasting. "Why," said the Californian "we grow cabbage so big that an army of soldiers can camp under one." "That's nothing," said the New Englander, "we make copper kettles in New England so big that a thousand men can be riveting one and yet be so far apart they can't hear each other hammer." "Go on," said the Californian, "what would anyone use a kettle of that size for?" "Why, to boil your California cabbage in," said the New Englander, MISSUNDERSTOOD SIGNAL Chairman Lasker of the shipping board was talking at a Washington reception about certain criticisms. "These criticisms show such ignorance on their face," he said, "that they remind me of the old lady from Salem. She visited the city for the first time in her life. She took a taxi cab to drive from the station to her niece's home and was a good deal bothered during the drive by the vast crowds, the speed of the taxi and the noise and confusion and excitement. "But what she especially hated was the careless way her chauffeur kept taking his hand from the wheel and stretching it out as a signal to the traffic behind him. He did this at every turning and at last she could stand it no longer. She leaned forward and prodded him with her umbrella." "Young man" she snapped, "you look after that machine of yours and watch out where you're going. I'll tell you when it starts raining."

Sawyer-Lubin Pictures organization, which produced the Metro-SL Special "Quincy Adams Sawyer," coming tomorrow to the California. One of the most notable lists of screen players ever assembled for a single production appears in the film version of Charles Felton Pidgin's famous story. When the initial preparations were being made for transferring this story of New England life to the screen, Mr. Sawyer announced that he would obtain the most distinguished cast possible. For six weeks he worked with Clarence G. Badger, director of the photoplay, to this end; and as a result secured the services of sixteen players whose names are familiar to every motion picture fan. Among these sixteen is Blanche Sweet, who returns to the screen after an absence of almost two years. She enacts the leading feminine role, that of Alice Pettingill. John Bowers has the title part; Lon Chaney is seen as Obadiah Strout, the czar of Mason's Corner. Barbara La Marr plays Lindy Putnam, the small-town vampire. Elmo Lincoln is cast for Abner Stiles the blacksmith. Louise Fazenda has a comedy role, that of Mandy Skinner, the "sauciest girl in Mason's corner." Other leading parts are taken by equally notable screen players including Edward Connellly; Claire McDowell, Joseph Dowling, Zazu Pitts, Hank Mann, June Elvidge, Victor Potel, Kate Lester, Harry Davenport and Millie Davenport. Besides assembling a cast of celebrities, the S-L company laid plans for a most elaborate production of this story, based on the book that more than 10,000,000 people have read.

The stage has offered such noted thrillers as "The Bat" from the joint pens of Avery Hopwood and Mary Roberts Rinehart; "The Cat and Canary," "The Monster", and a half dozen others that have thrown New York into a condition bordering on nervous turmoil. The screen, too, has produced its quota of mystifiers. Among the most interesting of the film shockers thus far revealed is "The Hound of the Baskervilles," perhaps the most exciting of a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes adventures. It had its New York premiere at the Capitol Theater under the auspices of the Film Booking Offices of America by which it is being distributed. It is scheduled for screening in this city tomorrow at the United Theater. SAVED BEST TILL LAST, THEN LOST John D. Rockefeller, Jr., said in one of his brilliant Bible class addresses, "Young men should be saving, but not miserly. There is no greater folly than miserliness." "A young man on a seaside excursion was lunching in a cafeteria. All at once he leaned back in his chair and heaved a tremendous sigh—a sigh half of rage and half of grief."

CO.'S DAM The $25,000 dam built by the Anaheim Union Water Co., at its headgate on the Santa Ana is described at length in a report issued today by Supt. William T. Wallop, to the annual stockholders meeting. The report came out in connection with the audit board's report. Wallop says: "The flood which struck us about the 20th of December, 1921, took out about four hundred feet of the main ditch between the Head Gate and the Bulkhead below the Zanjero House on Bixby Ranch. A contract was let to the Edgar T. Wheeler Co. to drive a double row of piling from the Head Gate West and paralleling the old piling a distance of about 2200 feet. Wire mesh was placed inside of each row of piles and the space between the piles filled with brush. The cost of this work was $22,560.54. Near the lower end of this double row of piling a new bulk head was constructed at right angles to the ditch and just above the old bulkhead, which was wrecked during the flood. This bulkhead consists of a double row of piling spaced eight feet apart and the upper row is faced with 3x12 redwood plans. The piles are capped with 12x12 timbers. This bulkhead cost $2,465.94. The sides of the main ditch between the headgate and the above mentioned bulkhead, a distance of 1800 feet, were raised two feet, thus doubling the capacity of the old ditch and eliminating much cleaning and waste of water. This cost $3,.280.82. In order to avoid the annual expense of from three to five thousand dollars, which it cost to place brush dams in the river in the spring in order to get water into our ditch, a Pratt Dam was constructed just below the Headgate. This dam consists of three rows or rails, 30 feet in LAST, THEN LOST John D. Rockefeller, Jr., said in one of his brilliant Bible class addresses "Young men should be saving, but not miserly.

"Bill pointed to his plate. "This here steak and kidney pie, he explained, 'see all that kidney? Well I saved it up to eat at the last, and now I'm so full I can't look at it. Gee, ain't it a shame?'" BEATING THE CROWD During a lecture an expert in economics mentioned the fact that in one country the men outnumbered women and added facetiously: "I can, therefore, recommend ladies to emigrate to that part of the world." A young woman seated in one of the front rows got up in great indignation, and was leaving the room rather noisily. The lecturer paused, and watched her, and then remarked: "I did not mean that it need be done in such a hurry as that." FINAL DIVORCE ORDER Final decree of divorce of Earl T. Cook from Marie E.
