LaPrent, a former Texas leaguer, will be seen at short for the first time, while Dominick, also an ex-Texan, will make a second attempt to stage a comeback.

Manager Ortiz will take the measurements of players for new uniforms Sunday. JOHNSTON FINALIST THE PENNANT RACE (By I. N. S.) Altho the Giants did not play yesterday they still retained their lead of five games over the Pirates when the latter split even in a double header with Brooklyn. The Reds, however, cut down the Giants' lead half a game and are now 5-1-2 games back of New York. If the Giants win ten of their remaining 16 games, the Pirates must win 17 of their 18 games and the Reds all of their remaining 17 contests to beat them out. If this should occur, the Pirates and Reds will be tied for the pennant with 97 victories and 57 defeats. The Yankees raised their lead to 15-1-2 games and now need only eight vitories of their remaining 20 games to clinch the pennant, even if the Indians win all of their remaining 25 games.

BASEBALL SUNDAY SHELL OIL TEAM of Signal Hill Champions of Oil League vs. ANAHEIM ELKS State Elk League Champions In the second of a three-game playoff for the So. Calif. Semi-pro. Championship. 2:30 p.m. SUNDAY, ANAHEIM H. S. FIELD 80,000 EXPECTED AT GREAT BATTLE (By Davis J. Walsh) (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Western civilization prepared this morning to lick its collective chops in anticipation of being served a salty morsel such as might have delighted a Co-sack and caused the emperor Nero to fiddle again. Upwards of 80,000 persons, the second largest crowd that ever witnessed a sporting event, will watch the fight. The world, in short, will revert to the fifteenth century for a single night and hold carnival over another's blood. The bout is scheduled for fifteen rounds, but few look for such an ending and none hope for it. They want the thrill of seeing a big man go down and stay there. They crowd every hotel in this metropolis. It is why the spectators will pay something like $1,250,000 at the gate, approximately $500,000 of which will go to Dempsey and about $150,000 to Firpo. It is why some of the 30,000 visitors are in New York today, some of them coming from as far away as Australia. About 200 are here from the Argentine Republic, Firpo's motherland. A dark, cold day with leaden skies greeted the occasion, giving promise of great popularity among overcoats tonight. The official forecast is fair and cooler. In the event of rain, the bout will be held tomorrow night. The starting hour for the big event is 9:30 but the gates will be thrown open to bleacher patrons at 4:30 this afternoon. Fans waited in line all night at the Polo Grounds for the privilege of buying the first general admission seats, the first to appear How Gladiators Compare Dempsey Firpo 28 years... age... 28 years 6 ft 1½ in... height... 6 ft. 2½ in. 189 pounds... weight... 214 pounds 73 inches... reach... 79 inches 17 inches... neck... 17 inches 15 inches... biceps... 13½ inches 41 inches... chest... 44 inches 44½ inches... chest... 48½ inches 32½ inches... waist... 36½ inches 8 1¼ inches... wrist... 8 1·4 inches 22 inches... thigh... 23 3·4 inches 15 inches... calf... 15 inches 9 inches... ankle... 9½ inches FIRPO MOBBED BY ENTHUSIASTIC FANS NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Luis Firpo, challenger, this afternoon was mobbed by a crowd of several thousand enthusiastic boxing fans who had gathered to get a glimpse of him as he came from the offices of the boxing commission where he weighed in. The press of the crowd around the Argentine was so severe that Firpo lached out with his hands in an effort to clear a path to a waiting cab. The temper of the crowd abruptly changed and Firpo was derided and hooted. The mob clashed about his machine making hostile remarks. Firpo leaped from the vehicle and took it on the run down the way where he jumped into another taxi and escaped from his pursuers. RIOTS FOR TICKETS AT POLO GROUNDS (Continued from Page 1) Many women caught in the press were rescued with difficulty. Altho temporarily halted, the mob immediately began to rush the ticket wagon again, causing a halt to the selling of tickets. Even the mounted police were unable to restrain the wild rush. The mob clustered about the wagon, jumped upon the steps knocked at the door of the vehicle and attempted to break through the office. Mounted police bodily threw people from the wagon but this did not discourage those in the rear from making another concerted rush forward. COLD STOPS GAME PITTSBURG, Sept. 14.—The Pittsburg-Brooklyn National League game was postponed today on account of cold weather. A double-header will be played tomorrow. DIVORCES SISTER ROLLA, Mo., Sept. 14.—After being married to her several years, A. H. Kattler, obtained a divorce today from his sister. There were no children. The two were separated when they were children and adopted by families which gave them different names. Years later the brother met and woof his sister, Bertha Hopkins in Nebraska. Kattler, thru a recent meeting with his father, learned he had married his sister. The two separated immediately. OIL FIELD MEANS A dark, cold day with leaden skies greeted the occasion, giving promise of great popularity among overcoats tonight. The official forecast is fair and cooler. In the event of rain, the bout will be held tomorrow night. The starting hour for the big event is 9:30 but the gates will be thrown open to bleacher patrons at 4:30 this afternoon. Fans waited in line all night at the Polo Grounds for the privilege of buying the first general admission seats, the first to appear being Charles O'Brien, of Boston and Jack Farrell, oil driller of Port Arthur, Texas. They both had field glasses and overcoats. The price of general admission is $3.50. The ringstile seats originally sold for $27.50, but many of them fell into the hands of speculators, who are reaping a rich harvest. In some cases $150 has been asked and received for such seats. The capacity limit of 85,000 at the Polo Grounds will prevent the crowd from exceeding that which watched Dempsey apply the coup d'état to Carpentier at Jersey City two years ago. The receipts cannot hope to run as large as they did on that occasion for the reason that prices then were just double what they are for tonight's attraction. The first preliminary will begin promptly at 8 o'clock, weather permitting. By that time it is expected that every general admission seat will have been sold and the reserved sections well crowded. FIRPO HEAVIER NEW YORK, Sept. 14—Luis Firpo, challenger for the heavyweight championship will enter the ring tonight against Jack Dempsey with many physical advantages over the champion. This as revealed this afternoon when the two fighters were weighed at the office of the New York state Boxing Commission. Dempsey weighed 192½ pounds; Firpo scaled 216½ pounds. Dempsey measured exactly six feet in height and had a reach of 77 inches. Firpo was measured at 6 feet 2 inches and also had a reach of 77 inches. Tagging All the Bases Babe Ruth smashed out his 36th home run and the Yanka rode roughshod over the White Sox 9 to 5. The Pirates lost an opportunity to cut down the Giants' lead when they split a double-header with the Dodgers. The Dodgers won the first by a ninth inning rally, but Cooper southpawed them to death in the second. Uhle's wildness cost the Indians the game with the Red Sox 9 to 8. The Athletics won a nard fought 11 innings contest from the Browns 3 to 2. WHAT FIGHTERS SAY NEW YORK, Sept. 14—Confidence ruled in both Dempsey and Firpo camps today as the battle hour approached. Here is what the rival fighters say: Jack Dempsey—"I'm feeling fine — not a worry in the world and am ready for battle. I have no battle plan other than to keep my jaw out of range of Firpo's right and keep my back off the floor. I'll make my battle plans when the opening gong sounds. My only hope is that Firpo is feeling as fine as I do—the public will see a real championship scrap." Luis Firpo—"I feel fit to fight any man in the world and I am confident I will be the winner. It is not my habit to say in what round I will win, but win I will. The longer the battle goes the better will be my chances." JOHNSTON, TILDEN AGAIN QUALIFIED PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14—William M.

Another Filipino battler has come to the mainland to cop a ring title. He is Peter Sarmiento, a counterpart of Pancho Villa, the island bad who now holds the world's flywright championship. Sarmiento comes mainly to get a crack at Joe Lynch and his bantam title, but the Philippine native says he can also train down and take on his island brother, Pancho in a flyweight bout. He has no muscular development than Villa has, as the photo shows. Friday, September 14, 1923 JACK DEMPSEY PARKS CAR BEFORE THEATER; FINED $50 R. M. Gregg, Anaheim high school boy, charged with parking in front of the Fairyland theater, was fined $50 this morning by Judge Brown. Gregg would have gotten off easier as did STRENUOUS SEASON FACES U.S.C. SQUAD LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—What is undoubtedly the most strenuous season in the history of football at PARKS CAR BEFORE THEATER; FINED $50 R. M. Gregg, Anaheim high school boy, charged with parking in front of the Fairyland theater, was fined $50 this morning by Judge Brown. Gregg would have gotten off easier as did other alleged offenders had he not lost his temper when he found his car tagged, and abused the officers. The judge is holding up the case contemplating his legal authority to revoke the license also. Motorists have been warned to beware parking before the theater during the afternoon matinees. Ed Sperber, charged with being drunk, was also fined $50. It is said he tried to "raise a rough-house" in the jail, and wanted to "mop up" with the whole police force. BOOZE FOR U. S. IN TABLET FORM BERLIN, Sept. 14. Following the discovery of a German preparation developed by Berlin brewers to aid in averting the impending malt and barley famine, William Jollen and Harry Britton, two New York citizens, now in Berlin maintain that they are ready to circumvent the Volstead Act by flooding the United States with beer in tablet form. According to Joller and Britton, the preparation cannot be barred from the American customs, but once it is in the hands of the home brewer all he has to do is to throw it into thirty five quarts of water and in 24 hours he has the equal of the best lager beer that was ever foamed. Total packets have been sent to America, and sufficient orders have been received to warrant the manufacture of a million tablets. Germany already is using the preparation in wholesale quantities. NO PLANS—HARVEY SOUTHAMPTON, England, Sept. 14. George Harvey, American amassador, arrived from New York today on Leviathan saying he did not know what the future held in store for him. "All reports regarding my future are speculative," said the ambassador. "I do not know how long I will be in England, I have not any plans for the future. I do not know when I am going home nor do I know what I would do if I did return. 6 DIE IN RIOTS BEUTHEN, Germany Sept. 14. Six people were killed and a score STRENUOUS SEASON FACES U.S.C. SQUAD LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14. What is undoubtedly the most strenuous season in the history of football at the University of Southern California faces Coach Elmer C. Henderson and his Trojans this year. The schedule brings the Cardinal and Gold pigskinners up against every strong team on the Pacific coast, and it is known that dickerings are being made to schedule a game with a representative Eastern or Middle Western eleven for December 8. There is probably not another eleven in the Pacific Coast conference which faces so many powerful teams as Henderson's men must go up against this year. Practice starts on September 15, and two weeks later, September 29, the first game is with the California Institute of Technology. This, and the Pomona game a week later, are considered the easiest games on the Trojan schedule. The Pomona game, it is planned will dedicate the new Los Angeles Coliseum. On October 13, the squad meets Novada, and last year the Wolves gave Henderson's men the scarce of their lives. This game will be hard fought throughout and will be so hotly contested that there is a strong chance that one or two of the squads best men will be injured. On October 20 the team plays the University of Washington in Seattle. This should be the hardest fought game of the season. Coming down the coast, Henderson's team stops off at Palo Alto to play Stanford on October 27. Andy Kerr will have a great defensive team, and if the Trojans are weakened as a result of their Seattle game the content is liable to end in disaster for them. On November 10, in the Coliseum the squad plays its most important game of the year with the University of California. This game will probably determine the championship of the Pacific Coast and will create more interest than any game ever played in Los Angeles. The season draws to a close with the Arizona game on November 17, and Idaho on November 24, both games to be played in the Coliseum. The Vandals from Idaho rate as second-the strongest team in the Northwest, and this game should develop into one of the best of the season. FRENCH RAID TOWN PARIS, Sept. 14. In reprisal for a grenade attack against French captain French troops today raided 6 DIE IN RIOTS BEUTHEN, Germany Sept. 14.—Six persons were killed and a score wounded in unemployment riots here today. Jobless men tried to storm the town hall. Many shots were fired in clashes between police and rioters. The coal miners went on strike.
