BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS NOLAN SEES FLAWS IN BOTH PUGILISTS ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 11. Add to the over-supply of volunteer pall bearers who regard Luis Firpo as a terrible mistake, the name of Billy Nolan, celebrated reconstructor, man of the world and manager of Battling Nelson in the days of Goldfield, Nev., and the immortal Joe Gains. Mr. Nolan is not impressed with the senior as a possible champion and mild as much today. He is not particularly enamoured of Jack Dempsey either, Mr. Nolan being what might be characterized as a tough audience. He merely thinks Firpo lacks the sheer ability to become champion of the world, altho willing to concede that the Latin's strength and punch gives him an outside chance on Friday night, providing he is able and willing to take a beating in order to give one. "He is a big powerful fellow," quoth Mr. Nolan with the air of one who divulges a secret. "The question in my mind is whether he can stand the gaff. He is sure to take a terrible beating for I never saw a challenger with less confidence than this man has shown. He don't seem to know what to do when they start hammering him in a clinch and I can't see how he is going to avoid being hit often with a left hook." "His own left is a joke. He might as well tie it behind him for then the temptation of trying to use it would be removed. If Firpo can stand up under the punishment he is sure to receive for a few rounds at least, he might be able to land one good one with that right of his. Anything he hits with that is sure to be hurt." CY GETS TWO MORE CIRCUIT SMASHES BASEBALL TODAY NATIONAL LEAGUE New York 020 430 100—10 17 0 Boston ... 000 000 600 — 0 6 0 Scott and Snyder, Gaston.

John Watson, pitcher for the New York Giants, who was suspended for the balance of the season and fined $560 for an infraction of the rules, has been reinstated, thanks to his fellow players. Manager McGraw received a long distance call from Watson, in which the player asked that his suspension be lifted and promising to be good in the future. McGraw put it up to the other players and on their guarantee that the pitcher would break no more training rules he reinstated Watson. DEMPSEY HIS LAKE SARATOGA 11.

CY GETS TWO MORE CIRCUIT SMASHES PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.—Cy Williams, Philadelphia outfielder, shot into the lead for home run honors this afternoon when he made two circuit smashes in the seventh and eighth innings of today's game with Brooklyn. This made Williams' total 37, two more than Babe Ruth. OFFICIAL DEATH LIST WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—The navy department today issued an official list of the casualties incurred in the loss of seven destroyers on the Pacific coast, showing one lead and 22 missing and believed to be dead. The names of E. W. Grady of Gretna, Neb., and E. Jones, of New Orleans were added to the unofficial list issued last night, while the names of Henry J. Schrank, of Milwaukee, Wis., and Joseph Silva of Cambridge, Mass., were eliminated from the first casualty list. BOSTON, Sept. 11.—John Watson, pitcher for the New York Giants who was suspended for the balance of the season and fined $500 for an infraction of the rules, has been reinstated, thanks to his fellow players. Manager McGraw received a long distance call from Watson, in which the player asked that his suspension be lifted and promising to be good in the future. McGraw put it up to the other players and on their guarantee that the pitcher would break no more training rules he reinstated Watson. Tagging All the Bases The Giants came from behind and batted the Draves into submission 10 to 4. Babe Ruth slammed out his 35th homer and from then on it was easy for the Yankees to defeat the Red Sox 8 to 1. Pittsburgh went back into second place when the Reds were white-washed 8 to 0. The Dodgers, going nowhere, found the Phillies easy and won 7 to 1. COAL PRODUCTION Jugoslavia's production of nearly 4,000,000 metric tons of coal last year was the greatest since the formation of the kingdom.

J. Rowe, Agent THE PLAIN DEALER·ANAHEIM, CALIF TENNIS GOLF DAY DEMPSEY PERFORMS HIS LAST WORKOUT SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. Sep. 11—Jack Dempsey performs his last workout in these parts this afternoon. "And I'll say I'm a glad guy" said the champion. "Of all the training camps I've ever had this has been the worst." Dempsey was scheduled to appear for six rounds, after which he will hang up his workout gloves and don them no more until he takes on either Harry Willis or Tom Gibbons, providing that he polishes off Luis Firpo in expected manner. On Wednesday Dempsey will do nothing but muscle limbering exercises. He will leave for New York at noon Thursday instead of Wednesday, as was planned. If I'd have stayed around much longer I'd have to do my stunts wearing an overcoat and sweater," declared Dempsey. "It's been mighty cold here for the past three weeks and the rains of the last few days have made everything so damp and soggy that a fellow has to step around and keep the blood circulating to balk colds and pneumonia." Jack Kearns packed up last night and left for New York. During the balance of Dempsey's stay here he will be in charge of Mike Trant. Chicago detective sergeant who has been Dempsey's constant companion prior to every one of his bouts in the last six years. Dempsey spends most of his time just squinting at the calendar and then the clock. "Time surely passes slow," he complained. "It seems as if I've been waiting for the fourteenth of September for about nine years. And I suppose it'll seem like a million years before they ring that gong on Friday and let me loose against this wild bull." GIANTS SNEAK UP AS TEAMS SQUABBLE While the Pirates and Reds were battling among themselves, the Giants took advantage of the situation and increased their lead in the national league pennant race. Today the Giants are five games ahead of the Pirates and five and a half games ahead of the Reds. If the Giants win ten of their remaining 17 games, the Pirates must win 18 of their 21 games and the Reds 18 of their 20 remaining games to prevent New York from winning the flag. In the American League the Yankees have a lead of 14 games over the Indians this morning. If they win 12 of their remaining 24 games they will win the pennant even if Cleveland wins all of its remaining 26 games. ARGUM PROUTINGS Well, the sun put on dimmers for a time and gave us Californians quite a thrill. We would not have noticed it so much if we had not read and heard so much of our distinguished visitor. Scientists from all over the world came here just to get out of the sunshine for a few minutes. Professors Glim, Lookit, Starsick and all the others that understand the mysteries of the heavens, were scattered about on the islands and points of vantage. We are not sure just what excited them. All we saw was an object which we were informed was the moon, pass between us and the sun. At one time there was just a tiny rim of the sun visible. We have watched from some deep valley the sun lightening some mountain top with more beauty than it displayed peeking at us around the moon yesterday. The eclipse was a wonderful occurrence because such things are so unusual. We who watch them... Dempsey spends most of his time just squinting at the calendar and then the clock. "Time surely passes slow," he complained. "It seems as if I've been waiting for the fourteenth of September for about nine years. And I suppose it'll seem like a million years before they ring that gong on Friday and let me loose against this wild bull." "I've said again and again that I welcome no fight like this one with Firpo. I like the big, hard swinging giants. That's the only time I dare let loose with both fists, with out fear of breaking somebody's neck. I've been spoiling for just such a fight as this. "I've noticed that most folks have all figured out that I'm going to take Luis within four rounds. That's mighty flattering to me. I hope I can live up to expectations: I'd like to put Firpo to sleep in the first round, if that's possible. If Firpo will step right in and make it a toe-toe affair, then I'll soon demonstrate whether or not I'm still a good swatsmith. "Just how long the fight lasts depends a whole lot on how Firpo does his fighting. He is in coef those hugging babies, it will be quite some time before I can get clear for a solid hitting, but if Luis will step right in and do his swinging and let me swing and if he stays right there and we keep on swinging the fight won't last very long." "Either I'll knock Luis overboard in a hurry or they'll be hurrahing for a new champion." HERCULES GASOLINE SELLING FOR 11 CTS. Cutting two cents off the regular 13-cent rate prevalent here, Holditch and Williams, distributors of Hercules "gas" today is selling it at 11 cents, the lowest price in Anaheim in years. Holders of the former cards issued by the Shell company and of the former scrip books of the Standard obtain gas at the same price, but the two-cent differential was abolished by both companies two or three weeks ago. Eleven cent gas is cheaper gas than is offered, with few exceptions, even in Los Angeles, where the price war is at its height. A station at Santa Fe Springs has been offering 10-cent gas made from oil taken from C. C. Julian's wells but it is apparently the only station that does so at least outside the metropolis. COUGHS DISTURB SCHOOL WORK School teachers should give the same advice to children who have coughs as did this Florida teacher. "I recommended FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR to the children in my school who had the 'flu' and good results." Firpo's record, what there is of it is an impressive one, nearly all his victories coming by knockout. In all his fights he has never shown the effects of punishment and yet his fights usually last longer than has the Dempsey fights. NEW NIPPON DEPT. OF REHABILITATION HONOLULU, Sept. 11.—The Hawaii Shinpo today received from its Tokio correspondent at Sendal, a press message stating that several thousand Japanese perished by cremation in a military clothing factory at Iwabuchi, near Tokio, in the devasting fire that swept that part of the empire ten days ago. A new department in the government has been created—rehabilitation—according to the Shinpo's correspondent. The added governmental assistance will assume full charge of reconstruction work. Eleven emergency hospitals have been created in Tokio the dispatch said in which 200,000 more or less seriously injured are receiving medical attention. COUGHS DISTURB SCHOOL WORK School teachers should give the same advice to children who have coughs as did this Florida teacher. "I recommended 'FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR' to the children in my school who had the 'flu' and good results came whenever it was used" writes Mrs. L. Armstrong, Okeechobee, Florida. Foley's Honey and Tar contains no oplates. Ingredients printed on the wrapper. Quickly relieves colds, coughs and croup.

Finegan of Huntington Park, narrowly escaped serious injuries yesterday when the Buick car he was driving was struck by a Ford coupe. He told the local police that he was going only about 20 or 25 miles an hour, and the Ford was going at a rapid rate.

The fire was reported under control on the city side of the range, information reaching here said.
