ELK SEASON OPENS WITH WIN SUNDAY BEAT IRVINE 9 TO 3 The Anaheim 1923 Elks baseball club started the season in fine style, trimming the fast Irvine club on the latter's home-field yesterday. The 9 to 2 score does not tell the real difference between the two clubs. On their showng yesterday it looks as the Manager Pete Hax was going to have another swoll ball club to compete in the Elks circuit. Herb Salveson was slow warming up yesterday but as he went along he had the heavy hitting Irvine sluggers eating from his hand. Old reliable Buster Callan never looked any better behind the timber, and Art Ramage at first has all the "pep" of a kid breaking in. These two oldtimers smacked them on the nose when hits meant runs and will continue to drive many pitcher to the showers. "Doty" Bush was at his old position on second base and is covering more ground than any man in the league. Jack Pendleton at short has taken on a new lease of life and between two fast kids will steady them up. Ray Bush held down the hot corner, a new place for him, stepping into the shoes of popular Jim McDowell. A great deal is expected of him. His great speed and wonderful arm should, with a little more experience, make him a star on third. In the outfield Hax and Arch Hawkins in left after a year's vacation. He looked mighty good. Speed, a great arm and packing a heavy stick, he should be of lots of assistance to the club. In right, Doffman pulled down several hard chances beaded hitting a couple on the pick. Centerfield was taken care of by Vie Ruddy, the speed boy who has been with us all winter. He leaves some time this week for Danville in the Three-I League and the many friends he has made in Anaheim, by his unfailing good nature and unlitited pepper on the ballfield, will bulling for him all the way.

LOCAL VETS LOSE TO SPANISH TEAM The fastest richfield Spanish team defeated the Anaheim American Legion nine 15 to 2 yesterday afternoon at Richfield. Capt.

Mauson, If; L. Mau SARGUM SPROUTINGS (By Sargum Sprout) Oscar Reichow, new business manager of the Los Angeles ball team, is displaying a lot of tact and real common sense in his first few days of office. Mr. Reichow entered office when a cool head and tactful brain was needed to save a lot of trouble and misunderstanding among his associates. Mr. Reichow has given the Cal Ewing following to understand that he will not favor any spite work. He will agree to a special meeting if he can be convinced that such a meeting is necessary, but he will not agree to a meeting called for the purpose of ousting McCarthy. Perhaps Mr. Reichow has the ability to bring the Coast league magnets to bring the Coast league Angeles through this storm without any serious mishap. It is fortunate that there is one cool head on the directorate of the league. Mr. Reichow policy will meet with the general approval of the fans. His action has done much to established the Los Angeles club as standing for clean sports which will add greatly to the popularity of the club. “If they’ll pitch to me I feel confident I’ll break it.” That is the utterance credited to the great Babe Ruth, King of Swing. defeated the Anaheim American Legion nine 15 to 5 yesterday afternoon at Richfield.

REBUKE WINS BIG TIA JUANA PRIZE Down below the border where fast horses and fast running wineries are in vogue with a lot of other fast propositions, Rebuke won the big race of the season, and thereby enriched him owner by some $30,000. The winner paid 8 to 5, and much credit was due Willie Poole the rider, for the victory. "If they'll pitch to me I feel confident I'll break it." That is the utterance credited to the great Babe Ruth. King of Swat, when asked about his ideas of the home run record this season. The Babe is so constituted that he will ever be swoll headed. Of course the pitchers will pitch to him the only difference in their offerings to Babe and any other batter will be that Ruth will have to face the pitcher's best efforts at all times while the other batters may get chances when the pitcher lets down. Ruth is in far better condition physically for a record breaking season than at any time for years and perhaps his old record of 59 will be sinned but never the less the Babe still has the swell head and will always have it. Jack Kearns informs us that the great Jack Dempsey has three fights for the coming months. Harry Free Lecture and Pictures TUESDAY, MARCH 27 AT 8 O'CLOCK 216 East Center Street Anaheim Subject: Tropical Agriculture With special reference to Pineapple and Coconut culture at Agricola, Guatemala. Guatemala is 100 miles nearer than Chicago is and has a finer climate than Southern California. Land costs less. Returns more cash per acre yearly. L. G. KELLOGG COMPANY Wills seems to have the preference for the first fight. Firpo the second and Jess Willard the last. Willard, being placed last, might indicate that Jack considers him the most formidable contender to the crown. There was a time when Harry Wills would have given Jack an awful fight but Harry has been slipping the last two or three years. Firpo has the stuff, but is crude and stands little better show than Wills. Willard's present ability is not known. He has not fought since he lost the crown to Jack. He was not in condition when he fought Jack. Time and inactivity is bound to have left its mark on the man mountain. Will the Willard of today in condition be any better than the Willard out of condition three years back and how much? If you can answer that then you can figure what chance Willard has at a come back. It's a clutch he will have to be better than he was at Toledo. So far the French effort in the Ruhr seems to have done no more Can transform pick handlers into pashandlers. ANAHEIM GIRLS TO MEET CORONADO IN TITLE FRAY FRIDAY When Anaheim Hi girls basketball team and the fast Coronado squad tangle on Anaheim court Friday at seven o'clock there is bound to be action galore. This is the first and only championship game to be played at Anaheim. The southern team girls are champs of San Diego-co and are rated as the fastest team in the south. Last year, Anaheim defeated Excondido to a pretty tune for the championship and will lay the same law down to Coronado. Anaheim girls had the privilege of playing there or here but chose the local court in order to give the high school patrons a chance to see the contest. Coach Jacques' champs have not played since they met Riverside several weeks ago but can get in trim on very short notice. The girls have been keeping up their regular gym training and are in good condition. The Coronado girls will arrive in the morning and will be entertained by the Anaheim girls throughout the day. Glendale Bearcat is After Mabee Match John Hackensmith, the Glendale Bearcat, just back from the east, has been in Anaheim on the trial of Roy Mabee. "Hack" has never gotten over his defeat by Mabee and he wants another wang at the local champ. "I would like very much for a match with Mr. Mabee for any amount of money. I didn't have much time to train for that other match and feel that I am in much better shape now. If I can't whip him now I never can." The Bearcat is fashionable. He is just recovering from a severe attack of "Killeg eyes," popular ma-lady among movie actors who have been subjected to the powerful glare of Klieg lights.

Our Own" Joe Chaney and a fast rough performer Paddy Coggins, who calls Seattle his home, tangle in a bout that ought to be a whiz for action. Coggins has been a regular on both the Hollywood and Vernon Clubs. Due to his scrappy style of milling, he is a card for the clubs up there. He is a real audience pleaser and should go over big here. He will find in Chaney just about the fastest piece of fighting machinery that he has been called upon to meet.
