YANKEES DUE FOR SLUMP SHORTLY By DAVIN J. WALSH (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Aug 2.—Perhaps, at the boys insist, only a modern miracle can prevent the New York Yankees from cake-walking to the pennant by eight games or more. With a margin of 12 and one-half games to work on, the patient might be said to be resting easily this morning, after having spent a comfortable night—but— The Yanks are due for a slump in the immediate future, as sure as the Alnightly made them small, round and sometimes sour. When that moment arrives, the rally will become a relapse without further notice and the situation in the American League will be less of a procession and more of agrace. In fact and fable, there are always rests after its lead becomes too long to sustain its vagrant attention. Ball clubs have something in common with the hare. There is always a let-down with the best and the worst of them and the Yanks are due. The Cleveland Indians are quite a ball club—a good infield, one of the best outfields in baseball and fair pitching. It is a young outfit for the most part, however, and figures to do better in the closing stages of the campaign because it is just finding itself. The Tigers, also, should improve now that they can play Jones at third and Haney at second and be assured of an infield that does not resemble a first class sieve. The Tigers will always be as uncertain as a flapper’s affections until they get better pitching, but the speed and offensive strength of the club is too great to allow it to finish the season below the .500 mark. The present position of the White Sox is also sub-normal. The Sox are a natural first division club. MARINER WINS TRANS-PACIFIC YACHT RACE HONOLULU, Aug. 2.—Leading the way across the finish line off Clem Johnson, Negro heavyweight of New York City, knocked out Sam Langford in Juarez, thereby winning the heavyweight title of Mexico. The title is no of much importance to the sport world, but the passing of Sam Lanford as a pugilist is. The Tar Baby is through. The Mexican title was the only title Langford ever held, and for years he was capable of being world’s heavyweight champion. Jack Johnson held Sam Langford and the Yellow Fever in the same class. The big black man tooted his championship title around with never a thought of allowing the Tar Baby a chance at it. There was never a human machine that carried the power and force of Langford in his days. When Sam hit 'em with all his force they stayed hit. Old Sam just had to carry his opponents to give the fans their money’s worth, also to get matches. Ten years ago he was capable of knocking out a Clem Johnson in 30 seconds. It was an unfortunate circumstance that kept Sam from ever being champion. He was too good and all the fighters knew it. Sam is now an old man at pugilistic go, and his money making ability gone with nothing saved. Sam was once the greatest drawing card in the game and he made fortunes out of his work but alas, like so many others, his fortunes melted away as rapidly as they were amassed. An old man almost blind and almost penniless what a contrast to the Langford of yesterday. Dave Shade of San Francisco was recognized as welterweight champion of the world by the New York Boxing Commission, after that body had suspended Mickey Walker Dave did not hold his given honors for long. Jimmy Jones of Ohio removed them by a 10-round decision in Boston. The Shade brothers are about the only California boxers to make good in the eastern cliff has bene hangled round in the west.

When the Oakland Six rolled into San Diego, 247 miles of mountain grades and desert roads, ning the Sweepstakes cup in the San Diego-El Cajon Economy Run, another victory was scored for "VENTURA" brand of paraffin-base motor oil. For the sturdy Oakland had "VENTURA" in the case and the official check showed that no oil had consumed on the 247-mile grind. Such a record proves the remarkable heat-resisting quality of the famous "VENTURA" lubricant. Starting at sea-level a temperature of 70 degrees, the Oakland climbed to an elevation of 3660 feet, and dropped to 49 feet below sea level a desert temperature of 112 degrees in the shade. Under these changing conditions "VENTURA" oil furnished efficient and economical lubrication. Furthermore, this victory is the second, both for "VENTURA" and the Oakland car, since the same combination won the Camp Curry Economy run from Los Angeles to Yosemite Valley. You can get the same oil, of the proper grade for your independent service stations and garages. They do the Red "V" trademark. Watch for it.

Dave has been hanging around the top round in the welterweight ladder for the past two years. Big Jim Jeffries once the king of all pugilists recently a big business failure when he voluntarily went into bankruptcy, is going on a lecture tour of the United States. Big Jim claims to have studied all the pa and qs of the white race from the time of Adam and Eve, and he is going to impart some of his knowledge to the public. Big Jim would be doing the world more good if he would tell the world what is to become of the white race rather than what the past has developed. The only man of those interested in the world of sports not to get all excited over the proposed Dempsey Firpout is the big chap himself. Dead Pa nLoue or the Bull of the Pampas. The big Spanish Italian is going about his business saying nothing. He is making money fighting would-bes. Many critic claim that he is bowling over "see ups"; anyway he is taking them as they come, he has not refused to fight any one as yet. Firpout is a fighter and that being his business he is tending to the small deals as well as the large ones. He should be commended on his course rather than criticized. The fans like a fighting man Louis Augel is one, and ore Jack Demsey will not want to tangle with the big South American more than once. All of Louis Angel's opponents have proven sets up so far, but then they were willing to take chance and the fans were willing to see the show. Each match added a little to the Firpout bank roll. It's better to be making a little while waiting for something big to turn up, than not to be making anything at all. Louis Angel may not be a champion and he may never be one, but surely is a fighter. MINISTER'S SON DIES FROM FALL PORTERVILLE, Calif., Aug. 2. Noel Hughes, 16, son of Rev. A. J.

PASADENA REVAMPED FOR ANAHEIM GAME Anaheim Elks bump up against the real thing again Sunday afternoon at the local high school field when they meet the Pasadena Bills, their long time rivals, in their second clash of the season. Anaheim won the first encounter several weeks ago at Brookside park 14 to 5, in a game much hotly contested than the score indicates. But it is always a ball game when Anaheim and Pasadena get together. Since Ray Bush is out of the game, Ramage has been playing the third sack and Pay Lewis the initial corner. Doty Bush will be at second, Pendleton at short, Schrott, Glenn Callan, Callahan and Arch Hawkin. In the outfield, Harry Hughes on the mound and Curt Buster Callan behind the plate. Curly McLain is filling the utility role. Pasadena hasn't lost a game since the Anaheim contest and is known to have strengthened its liaison for the game here Sunday. If Pasadena ever won a game from the locals, Loren Ury would turn the Crown City upside down. It's all he lives for, that forlorn hope. BIG BAKERY OPENS IN SEELIG MARKET Completing the concessions in the Seelig Market, a modern baking establishment will be opened this week by True & Nelson, who will furnish the Sam Seelig Co. with all their bread. The bakery will have a capacity of 2,000 loaves per day and the equipment will be such as to make it one of the most sanitary establishments of the sort in Orange County. E.A. True has been in the baking business for the past 30 years, and was former manager of three Bake-Rite bakeries, two of them here and one in Fullerton. He is an expert in pastry and ornamental work. The big opening will take place on Saturday, when approximately 440 loaves of bread will be available. MINISTER'S SON DIES FROM FALL PORTERVILLE, Calif., Aug. 2—Noel Hughes, 16, son of Rev. A. J. Hughes of Grace Methodist Church of Long Beach, died in a local hospital last night; the result of a forty foot fall from a tree at Camp Wilton, 35 miles east of here. Hughes was endearing to erect the serial of a wireless set when one of the wires came in contact with a 11,000 voltage electric wire, shock knocked him to the ground. MARINER LEADING IN HONOLULU RACE HONOLULU, Aug. 2.—Navy seaplanes returning here report the yacht Mariner leading in the Santa Barbara-Honolulu yacht race. She is expected off Diamond Head shortly. The other entrants have not been sighted. Six yachts left Santa Barbara July 18 on the longest sailing race in yachting history. Two were forced to put back by accidents. The Mariner is the L. R. Norris entry of the San Francisco Yacht Club. WED THREE MONTHS, CHARGES CRUELTIES She was 17 and he 38. They were married in Fullerton less than three months, when, weary of his alleged cruelties, she went back home. Verna Pappas tells all about it in her suit for divorce filed yesterday afternoon against Thomas Pappas, owner of the Château Thierry confectionery and restaurant in Fullerton. They were married on March 26 last, and lived in the room he had before marriage, she says, without housekeeping facilities. He went to see prize fights, etc., and wanted her to go with him, but she objected to that sort of thing. She wanted to go out with her friends, and he objected. He wanted her to work in his restaurant, altho before the marriage he had declared against it, and she wouldn't do it. Finally he told her he was sick of her and to go home, and she did. She asks for a divorce and such other proper relief as the court may grant.

Into these 1924 cars are built every moved feature in design that makes for the comfort, convenience and safety passengers, and many refinements that further enhance the value of a line of cars already highly perfected. It is common knowledge in the steel industry that Studebaker uses only the highest grades of the finest steels. And the same is true of the electrical equipment, instruments, bearings, batteries, upholstery, finishing paints, tires and accessories used in Studebaker cars. It is equally well known that Studebaker, with $90,000,000 of actual net assets, including $45,000,000 of plant facilities, is unsurpassed in ability and resources to manufacture economically and give maximum intrinsic value for a given price. Produced under these favorable conditions, the 1924 Studebakers are distinctly the finest cars and greatest values Studebaker ever offered. These are not careless statements. They are facts that reflect the honesty and integrity of the manufacturer and its product just as they do the truth of Studebaker advertising. The public has placed its confidence in Studebaker by accepting these facts, supported by the performance of Studebaker cars in owners' use. That's why Studebaker sales for the past six years have increased progressively each year and sales for the first six months of 1923 of 81,880 cars broke all six months' records.
