CURRENT SPORTING EVENTS EAST TAKES LEAD AGAIN UPON GRID By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Contra-ry to the lamentable case for some years past, the east has taken the lead in inter-sectional football, at least as far as the number of victories is concerned, and seems destined to hold it, until further notice. For which it can thank southern colleges which have sent many teams into this district during the present season, and no winners. Notre Dame has done most of the inter-sectional playing, and most of the winning. As late as Saturday, it added to the Princeton and West Point success with a victory over Georgia Tech. The only other western triumphs were scored by Michigan over Vanderbilt and Marquette over Boston college. The current supremacy of the east, however, is rated more on quantity than quality. There was slight occasion for immoderate applause about the victories of Yale over North Carolina and the Army over Florida, for example. These were anticipated results, as matter of fact, as a bill of lading. So was the victory of W. and J. over Washington and Lee, to say nothing of Colgate's triumph over Ohio Wesleyan. Considerably more noteworthy was the fate of Detroit, long a western leader, by W. and J., and the wholly unlooked-for joy ride of Pennsylvania at the expense of Center college. There was substantial prestige involved in these returns. Of no minor consideration, either, was the defeat of Alabama Poly by the Army, altho it is a pretty well established fact that Poly is not so strong this year as SARGUM SPROUTINGS The Orana club will hold its next boxing show Wednesday evening. The change of date was made necessary by the Delbi shows being held on Monday evenings, which made the two shows on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Last week the Orana club was dark. Matchmaker McCoy will start his Wednesday shows with a good card. He is headlining Johnny Adams in what is claimed to be a real match with Sallor Walters. If Walters lives up to his reputation, there is bound to be lots of action. Smiling Parker, the Arizona wildcat, and Tony Ross are moved up to the semi-final. These boys put up one of the best bouts two weeks ago seen in the Orana arena. The first meeting was a draw and both are out to win. Tex Jones, our elongated friend with dynamite in both hands, but with the comical actions, will get another chance to blast his way into the good graces of the fans. He meets Jack Read of Long Beach. Of course, Eddie Dollis will strut his hesitation stuff. Eddie has been advanced a couple of notches and some day if he ever learns to box without the hesitation stuff he will be doing the main events. U. S. C. upset the dope right when she took Stanford down the line last Saturday. This game surely made Washington boom up. It now appears that Washington has a very good chance of being coast champion. California is the big card for Washington to defeat. California is a big. MY OWN ARRIVES FOR GREAT RACE CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 31. My Own, prime contender for $50,000 Latonia championship stake, to be contested for Saturday, arrived in Cincinnati early this morning and was mediately whisked away to quarters at the race track. Trainer Burch announced the time of shipping that Own was in perfect condition and fit to run his best race. Zev, conqueror of Papyrus, will be shipped from New York Thursday. Harry Sinclair, owner of the great colt, and a party friends will come to Latonia in special car. Admiral Cary Owner of My Own, will arrive Saturday morning. With no rain the Latonia trophy will be lightning fast and a great struggle for the rich race is predicted. The west is represented by greatly improved colt. In Memphis, and the horse that wins will have to do its best to beat him in the finish line. ‘IRON HORSE’ BACK SAN DIEGO, Oct. 31—Exten-inator, “iron horse of the American turf,” is to be returned after active racing after an enforce retirement of two years, due later. Willis Sharpe Kilmer, his owner, has consented to send the stu- tio Tia Juana this winter, while he will be entered in the $40.00 Coffroff handicap and other events, according to a telephone received here today. Kilmer hopes “old bones,” the horse is affectionately known will add at least $1009 to $248,456 total purse winning and thereby surpass the record of Man O’ War which led... and J. over Washington and Lee, to say nothing of Colgate's triumph over Ohio Wesleyan. Considerably more noteworthy was the fate of Detroit, long a western leader, by W. and J., and the wholly unlooked-for joy ride of Pennsylvania at the expense of Center college. There was substantial prestige involved in these returns. Of no minor consideration, either, was the defeat of Alabama Poly by the Army, altho it is a pretty well established fact that Poly is not so strong this year as in other seasons. Several teams, notably Texas, are qualified to carry the banner for the south. The schedule was closed on the basis of past performances, and because of this fact Center college and Georgia Tech received recognition as representative teams. Unfortunately, neither are, apparently. DELAY OPENING OF AAA LEAGUE Opening of the Triple A League has been delayed one week to permit some of the teams to get their ball-yards in shape. It was announced today. The first games will be played a week from Sunday, Nov. 11. There are eight clubs in the league, the last to be voted in being Culver City-Palms. The schedule will be announced Saturday. All teams will be "home clubs," that is, each will pay its expenses when away from home and take all the receipts at home, the schedule providing an equal number of games at home and abroad. LOCAL HI GIRLS WILL PLAY SOCCER Girl football enthusiasts at Anaheim Hi were granted their wish today, when they were taken out on the field by Coach Jacques for training in soccer football. The girls seem to be interested in this line of athletics, and decided that they will try to raise enough enthusiasm to have class teams. This branch of sports is not overly strrenuous, and is enjoyed by all the gym classes. RACE CALLED OFF HALIFAX, Oct. 31. The second race of the international fishermen's series was called off this afternoon. Columbia, of Gloucester, was leading Blue Nose by half a mile at the third mark, but the wind was so light that it was impossible for the racers to cover the remaining 16 miles within the six-hour limit. BOWLING TONIGHT U. S. C. upset the dope right when she took Stanford down the line last Saturday. This game surely made Washington boom up. It now appears that Washington has a very good chance of being coast champion. California is the big card for Washington to defeat. California is a big, husky combination that is hard to beat, but maybe Washington can turn the trick. Was down to Long Beach Sunday and watched Constantine Romanoff and associates hoodwink the public. The old Russian has the wrestling joint adjoining the pony race. He advertises to take on any and everybody who wishes to wrestle, and will give them one dollar per minute as long as they can stay with him. That all sounds fine, but the men who wrestle the old bird are in on the game. I saw one ten-minute bout that was supposed to have been between Romanoff and the champion of some navy. The bout wound up with neither getting a fall and both pretending to be angry, and they were framing a finish match. With such stuff being pulled everywhere, the wrestlers have nerve enough to ask why wrestling is taboo. Wrestling would go better than boxing if it was on the up and up and was speeded up to the limit. Ad Santel, one of the greatest men in the game today, does not go out to throw his man right off the bat. Ad just wrestles his man enough to keep him working, and intends to try for a fall after the victim has weakened down. If Ad Santel would jump in and wrestle Roy Mabee as Roy wrestled Ad at their last meeting, there is not a place in the county that would hold the gathering of fans who would pay to see the match. Ad just tired Roy out and the bout was not near as spectacular as it could have been. Wrestling could be made a great and paying sport, but the wrestlers will have to change their present methods of trying to hoodwink the public before wrestling will come into its own. The tired business man craves action as a recreation. He cares nothing about seeing two men bulling each other about the ring or rolling on the mat. What he wants is to see them tear at each other and keep it up till one or the other is down. No one ever accused Roy Mabee of stalling. He gave the people what they paid to see—accomplished racing after an enforcement retirement of two years, due to lameness. Willis Sharpe Kilmer, his owner, has consented to send the team to Tla Juana this winter, whom he will be entered in the $40,000 Coffroth handicap and other events, according to a fellow receiver here today. Kilmer hopes "old bones," the horse is affectionately known will add at least $1009 to $248,456 total purse winning and thereby surpass the record of Man O' War, which led American earnings list until 2006 took the lead by beating Papyrr. MYRTLE WINTERS CASABA MANAGE Miss Myrtle Winters was chieften manager of the Business at Professional Women's club basketball team. Six girls turn out for practice last evening, least a dozen have signified the intention of playing on the teetable and practices will be held weekly.

He hopes "old bones," as verse is affectionately known, had at least $1009 to his 66 total purse winnings, thereby surpass the record in O'War, which led the ANAHEIM BEATS SANTA ANA J. C. Coach Irene Jacques' fast basketball squad trounced Santa Ana Junior College, 33 to 2 yesterdaffternoon on the latter's court. All the local girls are showing up fine in the practice battles. Rosie Labourdette was especially strong yesterday and made the majority of the points. Miss Lydia Mohr did not do the work yesterday that she is capable of doing. She lacks experience with outside competition. However, Coach Jacques is giving her every chance to show her stuff in the practice games and she will develop into a star forward. Mae Requarth was especially good at center yardage and saw considerable action in her section of the court. The game yesterday has given the Anaheim girls an even better chance to defeat Santa Ana H. S. team Thursday. The Anaheim mentor is spending the last days before the opening game drilling on team work. They experienced considerable difficulty in defeating the County Seat squad at an earlier game. The coach has no fears on account of the Santa Anans because she does not think they are any better than last year when local girls won by a good margin. The game will be played at Santa Ana at 3:30 and the Anaheim team is desirious of having a large crowd of supporters. GIRLS BASKETBALL SEASON TO OPEN The opening game of the Fullerton H. S. girls' basketball season is scheduled for tomorrow at 3:30, with Tustin, on the Fullerton grounds. The Fullerton team had not yet been selected, it was announced this morning. GEISSINGER TALKS The regular weekly meeting of the Fullerton Rotary club was FIRST OIL SHOWING WAS NOTED HERE The first showing of oil in Orange-co. was struck in Anaheim 26 years ago by Fred Mickle, who lives at 1233 West Center-st., Mr. Mickle admitted today when approached by a Plain Dealer reporter in regard to his pioneer oil well which was drilled on his two-aere holdings at that address. Mr. Mickle said that the "find" was purely accidental, that he had drilled a water well on his place to put a mill en, boring it down 125 feet, and that for more than two weeks the well pumped quantities of oil mixed with water. He made a trip about that time to San Francisco, and met a man from Tehachapi who had had the same experience and drill striking a gusher, and added to drill. Also, an oil maid it over, and told him that not think he'd have to until he struck oil in pay-titutes. So Mr. Mickle went with a water well drill, depth of 230 feet struck of oil, but not in paying tites. A test made at Lo showed that it was of base, so he drilled thru sand, but the driller mistake of putting too much weight on the drill and to telescope. At a depth feet the drill got stuck, could go no further. C.O.F.C. DEBATES CITY OIL ZONING ORDINANCE (Continued from page one) said that the site for a new Presbyterian church at Clementine-st and Broadway would be ruined if there should be drilling in the vicinity. Dr. H. D. Newkirk declared that no field was proven until oil had been found on every sloe. P. H. Kritch, owner of considerable improved property in the city, asserted he wouldn't permit a drill on any of it. In his opinion the boundaries of the city would be restricted by allowing drilling. He himself remembered when Anaheim was a mudhole, paveless, sidewalkless etc. Le didn't want to see a return to that condition. If Anaheima's development were once retarded by an oil field, the city would never catch up. Anaheima was the second city of the county and nothing should be done to undermine that position. William Falkenstein asked same experience and drill striking a gusher, and added to drill. Also, an oil maid it over, and told him that not think he'd have to until he struck oil in pay-titutes. So Mr. Mickle went with a water well drill, depth of 230 feet struck of oil, but not in paying tites.

If Anahela's development were once retarded by an oil field, the city would never catch up. Anahela was the second city of the county and nothing should be done to undermine that position. William Falkenstein asked whether the growth of Long Beach had been retarded by the discovery of oil. On the contrary, it had the reputation of being the fastest growing city in the country. A. L. Lewis, who owns oils lands in Santa Fe Springs and elsewhere, though the discussion was largely premature at least. It was wrong to assume, for example, that Anaheim would prove to be in the center of an oil field if the Standard's test well near Placentia-ave and Wagner road should strike oil. The drill alone finds oil, he said. All oil districts were very much restricted, measuring 1½ by 2½ miles, and were oblong or oval in shape.Lewis advocated prohibiting drilling until oil was found outside the city.The field would be defined by discoveries beyond the borders, but tributary to them. Fritz Yungbluth's opinion was that there was little danger of drilling within the city proper.Himself, he said, owned 10 acres on East-st. Tom McFadden declared /that oil promoters were the biggest bunch of crooks that ever were,and if they were permitted to drill in Anaheim, would take more money out of the city in a few months from the people than the getting of oil would compensate for.

So Mr. Mickle went to work with a water well drill, and at a depth of 230 feet struck a strata of oil, but not in paying quantities. A test made at Los Angeles showed that it was of paraffine base, so he drilled on thru a strata of sand, but the driller made the mistake of putting too heavy a weight on the drill and caused it to telescope.

The accident went to Los Angeles and got 500 feet of casing, but found that the well was so crooked he could put in only about 100 feet of it. He did not have the means to undertake another well, and so had to give up the project. He says he is certain that had he been able to go on he would have struck oil in paying quantities within an exceedingly shallow depth. He says that even now on damp days oil rises to the top of the ground at his place, being forced up by gas pressure, according to geologists, and he is certain of striking it rich some day, unless the countil passes an ordinance prohibiting oil wells within the city limits. WRECK BLAMED UPON 3 OFFICERS WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. Blaine for the disaster on the Pacific coast of Sept. 8, when seven destroyers were wrecked on the rocks, is placed on three officers —Captain Edward H. Watson, squadron commander; Lieutenant Commander Donald H. Hunter, commanding officer of the Delphy, and Lieutenant Lawrence F. Blodgett, navigator, in the report of the naval court of inquiry made public today by Secretary of the Navy Denby. The report finds that the disater was "directly attributable to bad errors of judgment and faulty navigation on the part of these officers. The report recommends that Capitain Watson be brought to trial by general court martial on the following charges: First, culpable inefficiency In "WHAT DO WIVES WANT" AT UNITED "What do wives want?" Husbands who have studied over that question without any apparent results may learn someththing of interest by attending the United Theatre either tonight or tomorrow right when "What Wives Want," is shown for the first time locally. "What Wives Want" is an originanal story written around a problem that is largely responsible for the present clogged condition of the divorce court calendar and is presented by an all-star cast. Foremost among the members of the cast are Ethrel Grey Terry, Niles Welch, Margaret Landis, Vernon Steele and Ramsey Wallace, to none of whom does the picture-going public need an introduction. The story centers around a young married couple who are ideally mated and who love each other. But the husband is so busy making money that he unconsciously neglects his wife and she searches elsewhere for the attention she craves. This she finds and but for the timely interference of an outside influence, would have given up all includ-ing honor. It has a plot that will hold you from start to finish and with a most compelling climax. FOOTBALL FASHION NOTES MARTINS FERRY, Oct. 31.
