BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS MUCH INTEREST IN ARCHERY CONTEST Taking the archery contest with 14 points yesterday, Edward Tolbert won the baseball donated by Wisner's sporting goods store. Carter Taylor captured second and won a bat. Third and fourth places went to King Moreland, with 11 points and Joe Bushard with 9. Twenty-five boys participated in the event, the first of the kind in Anaheim. Harold Holaworth erected a target on the playground at the city park. This target will be kept in place and contests will be held from time to time. The next one is scheduled for Aug. 15. The boys will have more time to practice and keener competition will be in order. The bows and arrows are a splendid piece of construction and the boys made them under the direction of J. L. Van der Veer. All boys who want to enter the next contest are asked to register their names now and be out at the practices. The slide is up at the city playgrounds and all eyes are centered on this contraption. The swings and teeters were erected today and causing no end of enjoyment. BASEBALL TODAY AMERICAN LEAGUE Detroit at Washington, second game postponed rain. Chicago at New York postponed rain.

BOUT TO BE HELD (By Davis J. Walsh) (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, July 31.—The Dempsey-Firpo enterprise will be discounted by the state boxing commission because it will ruin boxing in New York. The enterprise will not be discontinued. Harry Wills is to take precedence over Firpo in the eyes of the commission. Wills will do nothing of the kind. The Firpo affair will be postponed because of the Argentine's need of further experience. It will be permitted to go on because the Argentine is deemed to be absolutely ready. Tex Rickard is to be denied a license to conduct the bout at the Polo Grounds because the commission and more particularly the state license commission, does not care for Rickard's taste in waist contests. Rickard's shift in his base of operations cannot be opposed because he is not in effect, the promoter, but the matchmaker. These are a few of the perfectly reliable forecasts of the action that will be taken at the commission meeting today. Add that of Rickard himself and the defense will rest its case. On the word of the promoter, who usually has a few at his disposal, the bout will neither be postponed or be declared out of order. "You can say for me that Dempsey and Firpo will box at the Polo Grounds September 14, as originally announced by me," Rickard declared early today. "There will be no postponement. In this connection I want to say that Firpo's lack of knowledge of our language has probably caused someone to misquote him." Meanwhile application by Rickard or others to hold at the Polo Grounds on the date named is not on the calendar of the commission today. It is authoritatively stated. As a matter of fact the application for permission to conduct the Dempsey-Firpo bout need not be made until eight days before the date set and in any case, it would be made by Charles A. Stoneham, the promoter of all activities at the Polo Grounds. It is our information that Rickard is to be kept in the background as much as possible in order to pander to the prejudices of the commission, which is said to have conceived an aversion to the leading promoter. RING IS AIRTIGHT CINCINNATI, July 31.—Twirling airtight ball throughout, Ring of the Phillies blanked the Reds in every inning except the sixth of the premier attraction of a bargain bill here today, and the Phillies won 2 to 1.

Coffroth, promoter of the Tia Juana race track and other sporting interests, has bid $550,000 for a championship boxing bout between Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, and Luis Angel Firpo to be staged at Tia Juana, it was learned here today. STILL IN THERE SEABRIGHT, N. J., July 31.—Miss Helen Willis, California child wonder, advanced to the third round in the women's singles of the Seabright invitation tournament with a victory over Mrs. H. F. Hansel, Jr., of Seabright. The soft turf, soaked by rain, had no effect on Miss Willis' flashing game. In another second round match Miss Eleanor Goss of New York eliminated Miss Martha Bayard of Short Hills, N. J., 6-2, 6-1. The Hawaiians, W. N. Ecklund and Bowls Dietrick were eliminated in the men's singles. Both lost in straight sets. GIRL DEAD BOY HURT IN MOTOR ACCIDENT SEATTLE, July 31.—Miss Helen Bebb, 17, well known Seattle violinist, is dead and Ralph Engberg, 18, is in the hospital suffering from probable internal injuries as the result of an automobile accident last night when the car in which they were riding crashed into another, skidded and overturned, pinning the occupants beneath it. UNDERWOOD COMES OUT AS CANDIDATE By TARLETON COLLIER (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 31.—With President Harding, his possible opponent in the next presidential election, seriously ill on the western coast, Senator Oscar W. Underwood, the "south's hope for president," today formally announced before the Alabama legislature that he will, if nominated, accept the candidacy in the 1924 presidential election. Underwood's formal announcement was not wholly unexpected in political circles, but it was received with applause by the vast throng which filled the chamber. "It is not for me to name Alabama's candidate for president of the United States, but if this great state names me as her standard bearer, all the fighting spirit I possess shall be enlisted to carry the flag of democracy to triumph," he declared. Prelonged cheering again followed. Underwood also took occasion to flay the republican party on one hand and outline America's international policy on the other. "The Republican party has erected a barrier to trade at every port of America," he declared. "Under the nine years the Democratic tariff was in force, our exports exceeded our imports by $3,000,000,000. I hope the next democratic congress will remember this." Underwood will be given the undivided support of the south if nominated by the Democrats, a poll of state democratic committees indicated. Two Danish scientists have claimed the discovery of a new chemical element which they have named halium." GAS PLANTS MAKE MONEY AT 5 CENTS "Owners of casinghead gasoline absorption plants are setting easy, even with all the talk of gasoline wars and the rumors of cuts of re-tail gasoline to 10 cents a gallon." This was the declaration of J. S. Ward, secretary of the Richfield Southern Oil Co., of Anaheim, which is engaging in the gasoline absorption business at Santa Fe Springs. Mr. Ward backed up his statements with figures showing what the Richfield Southern would make on its plants with gasoline being sold at only 5 cents per gallon wholesale. "The one big point in the casing-held business is that the manufacturer does not pay for his raw materials, the natural gas, until he has turned this raw material into a finished product and sold it." Mr. Ward continued. "The usual royalty paid the well owner for his natural gas is 40%. The absorption man runs the gas thru the plant and turns out gasoline. Selling this gasoline at 5c per gallon, he would pay the well owner 2c per gallon royalty." Then figuring the cost of operation at ½ cent per gallon, the manufacturer would still have a net profit of 2½ cents per gallon. "On this basis the Richfield Southern would earn running at full capacity the sum of $11,125 per month or 6.8% on the entire outstanding stock. This estimate is based on gas yielding one and a half gallons of natural gasoline per 1,000 cubic feet. The gas at Santa Fe Springs runs from 11 pints to 17 pints per 1,000 cubic feet." "We expect to start construction on our first plant at Santa Fe Springs within 10 days to two weeks."

Altho no statement was issued, it was oblivious that the French note was a bitter disappointment to Premier Baldwin. Premier Baldwin was understood to favor a discontinuance of reparations negotiations with France and Belgium and the making of an independent British reply to German reparations note of June 7. The pro-French element in the cabinet is strong and is attempting to force a continuance of diplomatic conversations. The Italian reply to the British reparations note also is under scrutiny. STOCKS CLOSE WEAK NEW YORK, July 31.—The stock market closed weak today. Occasionally rallies were noted in the final four, but enough stock was brought out to prevent a general recovery in prices. The railroad groups continued to act in a most discouraging manner and oil stocks rallied but little from their extreme lows. Pan-American Issues, however, acted better due to reports that a new pool has been formed by strong banking interests. Baltimore and Ohio lost 1½% to 46; New York Central 1½% to 86; Northern Pacific ¼% to 86. Cosden Oil yielded 2½% to 31; California Petroleum % to 18% and Marland Oil over 3 points to 28. Government bonds unchanged; railway and other bonds irregular. Stock sales today 775,300 shares; bonds $7,450,000. GRAINS CLOSE IRREGULAR CHICAGO, July 31.—Grain closed irregularly today. News of some runt in the spring wheat belt was counteracted by reports that the crop still was strong. Canada's crop will not come up to the bumper estimates made recently, but will exceed last year's according to news from that territory. Liverpool reported business in American corn stagnant on account of high prices asked. Wheat closed %c up to %c down. Corn 1¾c up to %c down. Oats %c up to %c down.
