BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS FIRPO WON'T TAKE OUT OTHER PAPERS By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Luis Firpo, the angelic piano mover, had no intention of renouncing his Argentine citizenship when he took out his first papers in the naturalization bureau here several days ago. The action was merely a graceful gesture of appreciation for the kindness shown him here in America. He will not take out his final paper, four and one-half years hence. The Latin made this clear to the writer, by means of an arm-waving interpreter today. "I thought I would demonstrate my gratitude to the American public for the great reception it gave me in defeat," Firpo declared. "I made up my mind to do something when they named a gun for me during a recent military ceremony at Fort Hamilton. The taking out of first papers was suggested to me, and I followed the suggestion. But renounce my Argentine citizenship! No! I am too proud of it." "The whole story is this: I didn't want the American public to regard me as a man who takes everything and gives nothing." Far from forgetting his compatriots, Firpo intends to return to the Argentine "as soon as possible, and stay as long as possible." He even contemplates staking the young men down there to a thrill or so, by meeting Erminio Spalla, heavyweight champion of Italy, in a bout to decide. All of his plans are indefinite, however. He does not know when, if ever, the Spella affair will take place, nor how long he will remain before returning to America, seeking to conquer further jaws and customs. SARGUM PROUTINGS The Orana Athletic club played a good card to a fair house last evening. The management is putting on the best attractions available and deserve the patronage of the fans. The card last night was brilliant in spots and not so good in others. Taken as a whole, it was a large evening's entertainment. In the first bout, Young Dageo of Huntington Beach displayed a lot of endurance and very little else against Kid Brown of Westminster. Dago was down a couple of times and punch drunk all the time. Neither displayed any of the finer points of the game. Tex Jones, a friend of old, allowed Wolf Larsen to go into the second round when he could have ended the going in the first. Tex is not the wild man of old. He was too cautious last night and let him revive time and again when a little last work would have put an end to the fracas. Tex Firpoed Larsen clear through the ropes in the first round and was knocking the wolf down at will in the second when the bout was stopped to save Larsen needless punishment. The fans went daffy when a little brown gent from down San Diego way gave Babe Orton a neat lacing all the way. Babe was just too tough to go down but he was punch drunk from bell to bell. This Jo Avery is a clever actor and made a decided hit with fans. He hits with either hand and is willing to mix it at any and all times. Red Briggs, one of Bill Darley's Far from forgetting his compatriots, Firpo intends to return to the Argentine "as soon as possible, and stay as long as possible." He even contemplates staking the young men down there to a thrill or so, by meeting Erminio Spalla, heavyweight champion of Italy, in a bout to a decision. All of his plans are indefinite, however. He does not know when, if ever, the Spella affair will take place, nor how long he will remain before returning to America, seeking to conquer further jaws and customers. The worthy Mr. Rickard will have no hand in the promotion of the Spalla bout, he added. "I can't tell when I will leave nor how long I will stay away," Firpo said. "All of that will be determined by what arrangements I can make before I sail, for another fight with Dempsey. We are working on that now, and I will not be satisfied until I have definite assurance that I will meet your champion within a year. I think I will do better the next time." Firpo has abandoned his uptown apartment, and is now exconced in a flat that overlooks Broadway in the busiest section of the theatrical district. He is said to be stepping out a bit with the strain of training removed, and finds his new quarters more in keeping with the role of a man about town. LIMPING RUTH MAY. PLAY FIRST BASE NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Babe Ruth, who may be called in from the outfield to replace the injured Wally Pipp at first base in the world's series, is himself a victim of injuries, it developed today. The Babe is said to be limping badly as the result of a twisted ankle, and may play only an innine or so in the exhibition game between the New York Giants and the Baltimore Orioles at the Polo Grounds this afternoon. Ruth is scheduled to appear in the Giant outfield as an added attraction for the game, which is a benefit affair. The beneficiaries will be John B. Day and Jim Mutreil, president and manager, respectively, of the Giants in the old days. YESTERDAY'S HOME RUNS AMERICAN Manush, Detroit ... 1 3 Smith, Cleveland ... 1 1 NATIONAL None.

He is said to have smashed into the rear of a car driven by O. B. Baxter, patrolman, near Los Angeles and Center streets, last night. Both cars were damaged. Carpentier will most likely come to America for a chance at some easy money. He may not fight Dempsy again but there are others who would draw a nice fat house with the Frenchman. Tommy Gibbons and Georges would draw well anywhere. Then there is Jack Renault who is looming up as quite some 'pukins'. Then there is Firpo. I do not think that Georges would care to risk his standing in a bout with the Wild Bull but you negr cantel and such a bout would draw. Georges can hit but he is not rugged enough to be a real for Jack Dempsey's crowd.

LAIMS FELLOW OFFICIAL GRAFTER FRESNO, Oct. 3.—Harry S. Erickson, city license tax collector who a few weeks ago was jointly indicted with Charles Dillon, city commissioner in charge of finance, charged with falsifying public records and enebezziement, today took the witness stand in the superior court here and testified against Dillon, making a full confession of his own crimes. As a result of Erickson's action the case against him was orderec dismissed by District Attorney George Lovejoy. Erickson on the stand confessed to a long series of irregularities in the city rands. Dillon instructed him how to make alterations on licence receipts and memorandums, and received 50% of the license money diverted to their own use. During the course of the testimony Erickson explained how duplicate licenses were issued by him, and how other license records were exchanged and lesser amounts written in. The confession created consternation among the spectators in the court room and caused a verbal tilt among the attorneys that for a time appeared as tho it would end in a flat battle between District Attorney George R. Lovejoy and the defense counsel, Carl E. D. Lindsay. EMBARGO AVERTED AGAINST PRODUCTS SACRAMENTO, Oct. 3.—A threatened federal quarantine against California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Colorado as a result of the discovery of the stem eelworm in the Pacific Northwest, will not be promlugated, it was announced in a telegram received today by G. H. Hecke, state director of agriculture, from the chairman of the federal horticultural board. Kecke said that the quarantine would have had a serious effect on alfalfa growers and the bulb industry in California. The state agricultural board aveted declaration of the embargo by showing that the problem could be handled by the state without a general quarantine. COUNTY PUBLISHERS BANQUET TONIGHT Reservations have been made for 25 editors and business managers of 5000-BBL. WELL AT SANTA FE SPRINGS By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER Santa Fe Springs took on some of its old-time gusher atmosphere with the bringing in a few days ago of 5000-barrel well by the Petroleum Midway. The big well was completed on the famous Mattern property. Mattern 2-3 completed at 4725 actually made 5575 barrels 33 gravity oil. Producing a barrel and a quartet for every foot drilled is a record. The Mattern lease has turned out to be a wonderful property and the Petroleum Midway is developing it in a very successful manner. On the Baldwin lease the Petroleum Midway completed No. 2 at 4786 feet and got an oil well that started off with an initial output of 4780 barrels. Several months ago the Baldwin property produced one of the greatest oil producers the Springs field ever experienced, and it seems that there are several more good ones there to be brought in. The Shell Co. of Calif., got another nice well on the Golay property with the completion of No. 6 at 4633. This well came in at 5000 barrels and is making 34 gravity oil. The oil industry of the world stands agast at the wonderful rotary drilling work the Standard Oil Co. is doing on the Brownrigg-Keller No. 2 well at Santa Fe Springs. The 7200 mark has been passed and the long string of 4-inch rotary drill pipe is running smooth and making hole every day. This is the longest string of 4-inch drill pipe ever used and marks a new development in the science of rotary drilling. The formation in this deep test hole has changed but little in the past 1000 feet, it being sandy shale mixed with sea shell. It is hoped that no mechanical troubles will develop and that Ralph Winger, already pastmaster of the rotary, will add the deepest well in the world drilled with a rotary to his record. Huntington Beach seems to have披ed the peak in not only producers of thousands of alumni and followers. As critics see the Harvard team this year, Coach Bob Fisher has a strong line up which to depend, but must re-build his Charlie B two out years. SENDS GREETING TO WEST, TARIFF ASSN. DENVER, Oct. 3.—Declaring that there was "an obvious necessity for maintaining a proper measure of protection to American industry in face of chaotic industrial conditions following the war," President Calvin Coolidge today sent a message of greeting to the Western Tariff association, holding its first session in this city. BANDITS SMOTHER WOMAN, GET GEMS LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3.—Cloro-formed by two bandits who robbed her of two diamond rings and $15 cash, Mrs. E. E. Gool, of Maywood, was then brutally attacked by the pair and left to die in a water-filled ditch near by. News of the attack did not reach the sheriff's office until today when Mrs. Gool, partly recovered, was able to give a mender account of her experience. She was rescued from the ditch by two men who were passing and heard her groans. Mrs. Gool is said to have left her home early in the evening to attend a night school at Huntington Park. After attending school she started home shortly after 9 o'clock by electric car which she left in Maywood. Before she reached her home two men pounced upon her from the shrubbery and held a cloth saturated with chloroform over her nose. The woman's face was covered with burns today. COURT FILLED FOR THOMPSON HEARING CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—Criminal court was filled today with a crowd eager to hear Freddie Thompson's own story on the witness stand. The defendant, who resents being called a man and made to wear trousers, is charged with murder in Kecke said that the quarantine would have had a serious effect on alfalfa growers and the bulb industry in California. The state agricultural board avested declaration of the embargo by showing that the problem could be handled by the state without a general quarantine. COUNTY PUBLISHERS BANQUET TONIGHT Reservations have been made for 25 editors and business managers of newspapers at a dinner to be given this evening at the California hotel, Pullerton, by the Orange County Publishers' association. J. R. Gabbert of the Riverside Enterprise, president of the So. Calif. Editorial association, and Cromble Allen, of the Ontario Report, president of the Associated Dailies, will be among the speakers of the evening. ged enough to be a read contender for Jack Dempsey's crown. This Renault bird knocked out Fred Fulton in Boston Monday evening. The plasterer received the finishing touches in the ninth round of a scheduled ten round fight. Fulton's work was not impressive therefore his knockout coming in the ninth round did not speak greatly of the ability of the victor. Renault and Floyd Johnson tangle in New York some time next month. This fight will prove is Renault is a real prospect or not. Johnson has lost only one start in many moons, that was when Big Jess Willard upset him at the Milk Show. They say that Floyd cannot hit but he has stopped some husky birds and we will bet a prune that he gives this Renault a great run for his money. Dick Cox, the Los Angeles lad playing with Portland, pulled an old Cobb stunt by climbing into the stands and punching up a nasty rooter. Baseball players have insults thrown at them every day and sometimes these insulters' remarks are past endurance. These nasty birds are usually cowards and use the protection of the stands to goad the players with their troublesome remarks. Cox will have the name of being a soudy from now on, a name in all probability he does not deserve. Huntington Beach seems to have passed the peak in not only production, but in the bringing in of new wells. From now on a 400-barrel well will be a sensation in the Beach field. This past week three small wells were completed in different parts of the field. The Auburn Oil Co. completed at 4900 feet a 250-barrel well. It was necessary to put this producer on the pump to get the oil. The Holly Oil Co. on the Turley lease completed No. 4 at 4630 feet and got a 100-barrel well. The Industrial Engineers Oil Co. completes the old Hurst Oil Co.'s No. 1 at 2610 and got a 200-barrel well for the trouble. The Texas Holding Co.'s No. 3 at 4800 feet is good for only 125 barrels 24 gravity. COURT FILLED FOR THOMPSON HEARING CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—Criminal court was filled today with a crowd eager to hear Freddie Thompson's own story on the witness stand. The defendant, who resents being called a man and made to wear trousers, is charged with murder in the death of Richard C. Tesmer, rich insurance man. "I was playing cards last night," he tittered, "and twice I drew a royal flush. Don't tell me that isn't an omen." Thompson won a pronounced and unique victory late yesterday, when the trial court ruled that Frank Carrick, with whom the defendant lived as his "wife," would not have to testify against Freddie because he was Freddie's husband. Previous to the alliance with Carrick, Thompson had been the husband of Marie Clark.

Price, head of a school of "Christian Applied Psychology," was scheduled to be arraigned today on a charge of embezzling $36,000, following his arrest last night while he addressed some 50 or more of his disciples at his home and school. Ball had been fixed at $20,000 and Dr. Price spent the night in jail. Price's arrest was based on the specific complaint of Miss Edith Campbell that she had been victimized of $500 to be used, with other sums, to buy the Irvine Ranch and establish a school or college of the doctor's cult there. Names of persons supposed to have contributed to the doctor's undertaking various amounts of money were found in his possession, the officers said. moved from 520 E. Broadway to the store. The Great Matzenauer Is Coming! The Famous Werrenrath T. B. M. & W. SHOW AT UNITED THEATER Here's story for Tired Business Men and Wives! The too drastic reform idea gets a body blow in "A Town Scandal," starring Gladys Walton at the United Theatre tonight. It is all about a pretty girl from a small town who gets a job in the chorus of a Broadway musical revue. She is promoted to the queen position of the chorus and is the hit of the show. In New York the business heads of the old Home Town lavished candy and flowers on the pretty little girl who danced so daintily. But they shied when she came back during her summer vacation and asked for a position. The matrons of the Purity League gave the chorus girl "the raza" just on general principles. She was a chorus girl so she must be bad. But when the matrons learned that their husbands had more than a business interest up in the city they swamped the local "general" store with orders for rolling pins. PURCHASE GROCERY M. J.
