BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS THREE MORE MAJOR MANAGERS TO QUIT By DAVIS J. WALSH (L. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—At least three major league managers in addition to the decapitated Lee Fohl, are alleged to be pacing the short walk to the guillotine. They will not, however, be beheaded, it is claimed, until the end of the season, in view of the fact that it is considered the worst of bad business to change horses—and heads—in mid-stream. The men in question are said to be Frank Chance, of the Boston Red Sox, Fred Mitchell, of the Boston Braves, and Donie Bush of Washington. Chance, it is alleged, will quit outright. He is reported to be ready to leave the Red Sox flat and we see no reason to doubt the statement. The Red Sox indubitably'are flat and couldn't be left any other way. Chance cannot abide a loser and the story goes that he has enough. The same source of information forecasts the passing of Mitchell, who is said to have lost caste with the few others of the Braves because he cannot win games with a spavined ball club. Just how much fact or fiction there may be in the rumor of Bush's dismissal is not for us to say. He has gone well enough, considering his resources and the fact that injuries have cut into the efficiency of his club. An annual manager in Washington is like an annual birthday and possibly Bush is mentioned just for the sake of being consistent.

He ranks among the league leaders in victories and is especially effective against the Yankees.

The Dodgers and Pirates divided the spoils, Vance pitching winning ball in the first game, 9 to 7, and Marrison in the second, 5 to 3. Ainsmith's homer off Bentley in the eighth put the quietus on the Giants and gave the Cardo a 4 to 3 decision. After Dauss, of Detroit, had shut the Red Sox out in the first game, 4 to 0.

SARGUM SPROUTIN The storm clouds that have been gathering for years in the Coast League of ours are threatening to tear loose in a terrific deluge that will destroy several teams now holding membership. The greatest thunder bolt of them all, obscuring the horizon with $5,000,000 of the Wrigley fortune, claims that the deluge will wash the coast clean of the "Little Three." The "Little Three" feel that they are backed by organized baseball and claim they are not afraid of the rumbling of the "Big Five." The "Little Three" backed by President McCarthy, say that the storm can not break any too soon for the fans would like to get petty bickering be big sportsmen. The udde the league attained proves that it mighty poor sportsmen baseball on our coast would be better off not among the players the owners. When old Bill Wright fortune into the fight a dirty fight of it. He and he may be wrong me as if he is about sides are wrong and if they were not such bull-heads they would give and take till was established.

BRITISH APPROVE NEW REPARATIONS (By David M. Church) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Aug. 9. —Formal announcement was made by the foreign office this evening that the cabinet has approved the draft of a new reparations memorandum to France. It is understood, it leaves an opening for continuation of reparations negotiations with Paris. It had been reported earlier in the day that the cabinet had failed to reach any definite decision regarding reparations. URGE HAYS ASSUME CHARGE OF MOVIES LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9. —Will H. Hayes, "ear of the movies," as head of the motion picture producers and distributors of America, has been asked to come to Hollywood and take over the rols of the industry. Courney Smith, secretary to the organization was to leave here to lay the request before Mr. Hayes. It also became known today that plans for the dissolution of the Motion Picture Producer's Ass'n, the resignation of W. J. Reynolds, secretary to that body, and tentative arrangements for film censorship changes, were under consideration. The financial failure of the motion picture exposition which closed here the first of this week is said to have brought these moves. Before leaving for the east today to confer with Mr. Hayes, Smith refused to discuss the "shakeup," saying only that if Mr. Hayes accepts he will pass as much time hero as possible, but that his headquarters would be in the east. If Mr. Hayes is persuaded to take complete charge of the motion picture producers association he would determine such questions as permitting visitors to studios, organize a distribution group for all charity monays, have a secret card index with data concerning every actor and actress, their salaries and other confidential information. Definite steps to dissolve the motion picture producers association is said to have been taken in a hurriedly called session in the Hays offices in Hollywood. Legal action was mapped to render the association impotent, and place its welfare in the hands of Hays' organization, it was learned. Plans for a revised censorship are also said to have been discussed. 24 NEW WELLS STARTED Oil field operations reported the week ending Aug. 4, show 24 new wells started, compared with 30 previous week.

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. —President Calvin Coolidge today held a NEW REPARATIONS (By David M. Church) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Aug. 9—Formal announcement was made by the foreign office this evening that the cabinet has approved the draft of a new reparations memorandum to France. It is understood, it leaves an opening for continuation of reparations negotiations with Paris. It had been reported earlier in the day that the cabinet had failed to reach any definite decision regarding reparations. It is estimated that there are 32,000,000 different kinds of shoes. PROUTINGS break any too soon for them. The fans would like to see an end to the petty bickerings of our would-be big sportsmen. The udderle the league affairs have attained proves that there are some mighty poor sportsmen trying to rule baseball on our coast. The league would be better off with new blood, not among the players, but among the owners. When old Bill Wrigley puts his fortune into the fight he can make a dirty fight of it. He may be right and he may be wrong. It looks to me as if he is about fifty-fifty. Both sides are wrong and they are right. If they were not such a bunch of bull-heads they would get together and give and take till real harmony was established. The New York Giants have about blasted the hopes of the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburg Pirates. By taking five straight from the Reds, the Giants put that team out of the running. Even the great Luque could not stop the mighty rush of the angered Giants. The Giants had become over-confident and allowed the Reds and Pirates to slip up on them, but when the mighty ones awoke the runners up were left behind. 24 NEW WELLS STARTED Oil field operations reported the week ending Aug. 4, show 24 new wells started, compared with 30 previous week.

STATE DEPARTMENTS SEEKING MANDATES LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.—Attorneys for various state departments seeking writs of mandate from the state supreme court here compelling state comptroller Riley to recognize their departmental funds, today were preparing briefs for submission to the court within 15 days. Respondents were granted another ten days in which to answer. The supreme court at the end of the 25-day period may be expected to rule on the question whether the budget appropriation of a general fund superceded and put out of operation all of the commission, bureau and departmental funds. Comptroller Riley defendant in 4 test suits, defined his position as that of one who sought instructions from the court. It was stated in his behalf, that in the different issues, it was not proposed that his attitude should be consistent. On the other hand it was intimated Riley would oppose everything just to find out what it was all about. APPROPRIATE $3000 TO SPREAD WATER While no appropriations have yet been made, it appeared likely today that neither Orange, Riverside or San Bernardino-co will put up more than $2000 instead of $5000 proposed by Orange for water spreading during the coming season. The supervisors of the other two counties did not appear at Santa Ana on Tuesday, but an understanding has been reached, according to Col. S. H. Finley, on an appropriation of $3000 by each county. With money unexpended a ditch five miles long with a capacity of 1500 miners' inches can be completed to divert water from the South Fork of the Santa Ana river to Barton Flat. Other ditches will be constructed to divert water at other points. 1 SHOT, 2 BEATEN IN LABOR CONFLICT SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 9.
