BASEBALL BOXING CHAMP ELKS LOSE FIRST TO SHELL OIL Anaheim Elks, champions of their tribe in the state, lost to Shell Oil, titleholders of the Oil League, by the score of 6-3 yesterday at Signal Hill in the opener of a three-game playoff leading up to the championship of southland semi-pros. Fred Fairbanks, the former Ventura ace, was on the mound for the Royal Dutchmen and deserved to win because he had a world of stuff. In but two innings, the seventh and the ninth, was Fairbanks a bit wobbly. In these frames Anahelf Bills showed their hitting ability by clicking out over half of the hits garnered off Fairbanks' delivery. In the ninth, Pete Hax's crowd threatened to reverse the outcome by finding Fairbanks' delivery to the extent of three hits. Fred halted this rally, however, by making Carnes ground out. The Signal Hill club clinched the combat in the seventh stanza when they took advantage of Harry Hughes momentary lapse. Harry who had been pitching good ball all day, issued four passes in this frame. These passes, combined with Rothrock's single, gave the home team three more runs, which more than decided the issue. A few of the sidelights of this interesting contest were the presence of Carl Sawyer and Happy Winze, two of baseball's real clowns, and another antique friend of Pete Hax's. SHELL OIL AB. H. O. A.

The Giants are four and a half games in front of the Reds and five games ahead of the Pirates. The Giants have 18 more games to play, the Reds 21 and the Pirates 22. If the Giants win 12 of their remaining games, it would give them 96 victories and 58 defeats. If the Giants win two thirds of their remaining games, the Reds would have to win 19 of their remaining games and the Pirates 20 of the 22 yet to play to nose the Giants ont. To clutch the American league pennant, the Yankees need but 13 more victories of the 25 games they have to play, even if the Indians win all of their remaining 26 games. The Yankees today have a lead of 13-1-2 games over the Indians. BASEBALL TODAY AMERICAN LEAGUE Boston ...010 000 000—1 2 0 New York ...010 200 14x—8 13 2 Quinn, O'Doul and Picnich. Jones and Schange.

This is the first game the reorganized Richfield aggregation had played together and had wonderful team week. Ray Otitz, manager, knew his stuff when he lined up the players yesterday and placed Jake Vetter at first. Vetter played like a big leagner and held the first place as a professional. Vetter did not register any home runs but did some excellent hitting. This is the first time he has been in baseball to play several months. He will play with the Richfield team until he starts the management of the American Legion team. The fans had Dominic Chandes figured out wrong when he stepped into the box. However, when he started to play, the betting odds changed. Chandes is an ex-Texas leaguer and from the old baseball school and knows how to shoot the bullets over the plate. Joe Morales proved a good receiver. Chandes struck out six men. The Santa Rita pitcher got rid of seven that wey. The Santa Rita team players found it difficult to reach first base. Boissserane started the game by knocking a two bagger and Travis followed with a three bagger. Richfield players.

J., Sept. 10 The mystery of the darkened garage achieved the denouement today with a semi-authoritative scheme that Luis Firpo indulged in his morning drill with his right arm strapped to his side. The statement was vouchied by a man who keeps his index finger on the pulse of affairs at the challenger's camp and is supposed to be the truth, wholly, entirely and nothing but. The object of this maneuver is obvious. Firpo has the right hand complex in its most malignant form and only by restraining that member with a strap can he give his left the amount of exercise necessary to complete its education, if any. The idea originated with Jack Kearns, who cured Dempsey of an inept left hand by the same method, but Firpo seemingly has no difference about borrowing from his friends, the enemy. In fact, Luis has very little difidence about anything. In fact, Luis has very little difference about anything. It was learned that the "gate" out at the dog track amounts to a snug $2,000, two thirds of which goes to Firpo. And while Firpo is preparing to take a flock of knuckles from Dempsey and $100,000 from Rickard, he declares to pay his sparring partners for the days that they do not obtain an actual bout with him. They must, however, present themselves to training quarters in ring tags under pain of being dismissed. For upwards of a week, Old Jeff Clark has been out at the dog track, ready for work but it hasn't got him anything except the trip in the street car. Frank Koebele, former Brooklyn amateur, hasn't been invited to step into the ring for two days and the Argentinian has been devoid of dinero for ten days. This is not orthodox but Firpo is nothing if not unusual. What the CROP OF RAH, Two collegians expected to make good. Walter Huntzinger of the U. of Penn, left, and Mike Gazella, Lafayette star.

FAL Senator Hiram Johnson today da SARGUM PROUTINGS Our Anaheim baseball tossers had an off day yesterday and allowed the Shell Oil team to win the first game of their three game series $2 to 3. The pitching of Fairbanks had the local aggregation mystified most of the time. The beach deceiver striking out no less than nine. Harry Hughes was considerable off color. His curve ball would not break properly and the 'owling one passed no less than seven. Old reliable Jack Pendleton wabled twice which proves that Anaheim surely had an off day. Jack began playing ball when Queen Victoria was a spring chicken and the oldest inhabitants can't remember when he boosted twice in one game. Young Tony Bush was a very busy man all afternoon. The records give him credit with "assists and 2 put outs but about half of the Sheller's hits were riffed through his territory, some of which the kid made noble attempts to cut off. Burke, who fills in at first for the Oilers, contributed to the downfall of Harry Hughes as much as all the other Oil team combined. Every time Burke faced Harry, bingo and the ball would travel into safe territory. Once Burke made three bases on one of his pokes. Anaheim lost the breaks and failed to take advantage of some opportunities. With the score 4 to 1, Glen Caliain was gracing the patrons at first. Art Ramage busted one so high and far that the center fielder failed to hold it, the rotand Glen was under full steam and would have made the plate if the third base coach had not slowed him up while coming into third, Glen could not pick up the lost momentum and was cut off at the plate by a stride. In the ninth three hits, and a walk put one over and the tieing runs on bases. Fairbanks was in a bad hole and wabbling when up come Carnes. New Carnes may be a good sticker but he had faced Fairbanks four times before the ninth and on each occasion was completely baffled by the pitcher's slants. When Carnes ever present themselves to training quarters in ring tags under pain of being dismissed. For upwards of a week, Old Jeff Clark has been out at the dog track, ready for work but it hasn't got him anything except the trip in the street car. Frank Koebele, former Brooklyn amateur, hasn't been invited to step into the ring for two days and the Argentinian has been devoid of juniors for ten days. This is not orthodox but Firpo is nothing if not unusual. What the public does not know, however, is that the Argentine after eating a meal that would kill any other athlete, lays down and falls into a profound sleep. Any medical man would tell you the adverse effect to be obtained by sleeping immediately after a meal. As for his alleged attempt to make something out of a more or less harmless, we would say, off-hand, that the Argentine hardly has the time at his disposal to succeed in that laudable endeavor. He would need upward of five weeks to achieve anything. He has just five days before stepping out against Jack Dempsey at the Polo Grounds. As a matter of fact, these five days will be quite worthless as far as they might contribute toward teaching an old dog new tricks. Firpo has displayed an inclination to cut down his training during recent days and is expected to reduce his amount of work in proportion as the hour for the bout approaches. It was rumored today that Firpo's left hand was hammered by a touch of neuritis but the evidence has been to the contrary. The member in question is gradually improving as a weapon of attack and our source of information lays this fact against the morning workouts in the deserted garage. RED CROSS RAISES OVER 5 MILLIONS WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—More than $4,000,000 has been subscribed to the $5,000,000 fund of the American Red Cross for relief work in Japan and it is expected that the total will be reached before nightfall Red Cross officials declared this afternoon. The executive committee of the Red Cross met here this morning and authorized the purchase of additional supplies aggregating nearly 500 tons. LEAD MOVEMENT TO MAKE GERMANY MONARCHY AGAIN LEAD MOVEMENT TO MAKE GERMANY MONARCHY AGAIN We, the Sprouts, feel that we are a part of the Plain Dealer family and as such wish to express our sincere sympathy for our chief in his sorrow. We know that there are no words that can ease the pain of such a loss. We can only stand back and wish that we could help to alleviate the great sorrow. But our Chief has much to live for. The children she left are of her own flesh and blood. For each she entertained high ideals. The father must now develop in those children, the ideals the mother had dreamed of. The future holds touch and we must carry on. Every cloud has a silver lining and rainbows beautify the passing of storms. Its law of nature, that we must look for the rainbow's end and the silver lining no matter how black the storm clouds are, or else fail to carry on in our earth's mission. Once from out of the halls of old Shortridge in Indiana came a girl that made our home beautiful. Her years with us are but beautiful memories now. So in the future, chief when time has dulled the edge of sorrow's knife, you will have fond memorier of years of a happy com- CROP OF RAH, RAH BOYS IS IN DEMPSEY MAKING VERY BAD SHOWING WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, N. Y., Sept. 10.—If men today rush around feverishly in an effort to wager on Luis Firpo, it is probable that their action is due to the trick fistic showing which Jack Dempsey made in his camp Sunday. And if a group of experts break into print today with the viewpoint that Dempsey does not look nifty, theirs is a logical condition, if it is based on what he did for more than 2,000 cash customers yesterday. Jack Dempsey made the most miserable showing of his entire training camp season before a record crowd which included his old trainer, Jimmy DeForest and some writers who were viewing him for the first time. The people had heard that Dempsey was displaying all of his old stuff in his workouts. But they saw a world’s champion who looked more like a second-rater than anything else. They were mystified. Dempsey hit the huge and ponderous Farmer Lodge but one real blow in their first round and hit him only a few in the second. He hit George Godfrey about three times in their milking and the way he threw so many wild ones made the boys think he was going thru calesthenics. And the conclusion was the one Jack Kearns hoped they would take away with them. For Kearns likes to have a little wager on his champion every time Dempsey goes to the fistic post, and Kearns always seeks the best odds. Inasmuch as the quotations have been around 3 to 1 and inasmuch as they have since broken to 21-2 to 1, in some places 2 to 1, since the experts decided Dempsey was not as good as supposed, you may imagine the inner delight of Kearns and the insiders in the Dempsey camp who want to make wagering cleanups on the battle.
