CURRENT SPORTING EVENTS COAST MAGNATES MOVE ON CHICAGO By ELLIS H. MARTIN (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4. — Pacific Coast league magnates today were moving on Chicago for the "crucial" series in their mid-winter presidential pennant race. "President No. 1." William H. McCarthy, with his legal adviser, Harry Stafford, is already in the cast preparing to contest the election of Harry Williams ("President No. 2") while Williams is en route east to claim the office which he and his five supports aver is rightfully his. As the club heads departed for the Chicago meeting of the minor league clubs, it was believed that the row which has threatened to disrupt the league, will be settled in Chicago. Both sides were claiming victory, but the hint was out that whatever way the board of arbitration rules in the squabble will end the matter at least for this season. McCarthy was expected to make an effort to get William Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, before the arbitration board to question him regarding the deal whereby the Seattle club was purchased. McCarthy charged Wrigley with "syndicate baseball," claiming that in addition to owning the Los Angeles club, he financed the purchase of the Seattle club. The Seattle club has not been recognized by McCarthy as having a vote since the "syndicate" charge was hurled, and on this ground he contests the election of Williams by the "big five." Considerable mystery surrounds the visit east of McCarthy. TANFORAN HORSES NOW AT TIA JUANA TIA JUANA, Mexico, Dec. 4. — Some 300 thoroughbred horses, the vanguard of those that contested for the purses at the recently closed meeting at Tanforan, were today contentedly munching hay on Mexican soil. The equines, estimated to be worth a cool million dollars, arrived here yesterday evening from San Francisco in two special trains. The racers shipped well, their trainers said, and as they were put in splendid condition at Tanforan, they will be ready to go to the post within two or three days. FULLERTON CLUB PUTS ON MATCH The Fullerton club will not be interfered with next Friday evening, when it is announced, a card will be put on including a wrestling match between Ball Montana of movie fame and Wallace Duguid, who is said to have wrestled to a draw with "Strangler" Lewis, national champion. But the boxing card may be one of the last given. Three four-round boxing bouts will be given, and an admission fee will be charged. But the 30 days within which the new County ordinance becomes effective does not expire until Dec. 20, leaving the club 12 days after Friday in which to bid bouts. After that the lid will be put on the Fullerton club the same as on the Orange-co A. C., whose arena is at Orana. Roy Mabee, who has been asked to appear at Orana in wrestling matches, told a Plain Dealer man that he was out of the wrestling CASABA PLAYERS IN THREE CLASSEES Coach Fitzmorris represents Araheim high school at Tustin yesterday at a meeting of coaches of the county.

The Seattle club has not been recognized by McCarthy as having a vote since the "syndicate" charge was hurled, and on this ground he contests the election of Williams by the "big five." Considerable mystery surrounds the visit east of McCarthy. He has been in New York several days, and while there Baseball Commissioner Landis is said to have been domiciled at the same hotel, although McCarthy denied seeing him. There has been no love lost between Landis and McCarthy since the Pacific Coast conference is given.

The investigation of the "diploma mill," which, it is charged, has been issuing doctors' diplomas to persons without medical training on payment of fees, has become nation-wide with the announcement that doctors who received their right to practice in that way have even found employment in the U.S. veterans' bureau and the public health service of the government. Here-tofore the authorities have catered their efforts in Hartford Conn., St. Louis and Kansas City where state officials and new papermen uncovered the ring "fake doctors."

Decadent is surviv Sport Snaps by JACK KEENE American lovers of the fistic art will get a chance to lamp some French fighters other than Georges Carpentier and Eugene Criqui, as Robert Daspion, Charles Raymonde and Robert Diamant are recent arrivals who plan to show their wares for a time in the good old U.S.A. Those who have seen the little Frenchmen in action say that they will make things mighty interesting for any of their opponents. You just naturally can't keep this fellow, Alf Goullet, away from the all-around cyling championship of America, as he again annexed the title. His record for the 1923 season is as follows: Twenty-eight races won; nine seconds; two thirds and eight fourths for a total of 179 points, as they score them. Eddie Collins, who starts his 18th year as a major leaguer next spring, has ducked for the time being at least, any managerial burdens. Ed is credited with the statement that he wants to wait until his playing days are over before he thinks of becoming a manager. Earl Caddack, formerly a wrestler of note, is stealing Billy Sunday's stuff. Earl has become an evangelist after having attended a meeting at a mission at his Walton, Ind., home. It is said that after getting religion, Caddock gave to the worthy most of the fortune he had amassed in the ring. Major Kavanaugh of Boston college, who is one of the leading mentors in the east, says that Chuck Darling is the best quarterback in the whole United States. SO. DAK. FORMALLY OPENS CAMPAIGN PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 4. By midnight the national presidential campaign will have been formally opened. By this time, the S. Dak. proposal meetings of the Democratic, Republican and Farmer-Labor parties will have picked their majority preferences for president and vice-president and have adopted platforms. The conventions by law must assemble at 11 a.m. and have all their work finished by midnight. They must operate in committee of the whole with platform and other subcommittees barred. They must adopt the platforms plank by plank with roll call vote on each. The day opened with Democratic circles still stirred to their depths by the charges of F. H. Hawes, So. Dak, anti-saloon league superintendent, that the Ford-for-president movement was nothing but a blind of the wets, and that the real object of J. F. Houlihan and Richard O. Richards, main Ford leaders, was to win a wet delegation to the Democratic national convention. Richards, a candidate for Republican nomination for governor, cast fuel on the flames when he filed with the secretary of state formal notification that he intended to keep up his fight for "his legal merit system." "The legal merit system" contemplates government sale of liquor at cost to anyone who has a certificate of merit from a governmentally named board which shall examine all adults for their "morality" and issue certificates to those approved. McAdoo leaders on their own part plan to present a platform planking for strict enforcement of the Volstead act and believe that it will have no difficulty in passage. Republican platform majors led by Congressman Royal C. Johnson were in session Monday night and discussed many planks with adoption of the following considered likely: A demand for a striking increase in inheritance taxes, call for reduction on income tax rate on incomes under $10,000; 25 per cent discrimination in favor of earned incomes as against unearned incomes, reduction of taxes, with soldier bonus payment, sixty cent tariff on wheat, with elimination of the rebate system.

Metzker of Santook took the party a lot of fruitship was scheduled to salve San Francisco this morning daybreak. SOCIAL WORKER IS WELCOMED BY HONOLULU FOLK Miss Jane Addams, wearing the "Leis," or symbol of welcome, about her neck. Miss Jane Addams, founder of Hull House at Chicago and one of the world's most noted social workers, arrived in Honolulu recently on her trip through the orient. She was royally received by the Hawaiians. Miss Addams providentially escaped possible death in the Japanese earthquake, leaving the island empire just before the catastrophe. COOLIDGE WILL SPEAK TOMORROW WASHINGTON, Doc. 4. President Coolidge expects to deliver his annual message to Congress tomorrow despite the factional differences which have thus far prevented Congress from organizing. The President has received assurances from congressional leaders it is understood that existing differences in the Republican majority in the House will be adjusted before the close of the session today, thus permitting him to go to the capitol on scheduled time tomorrow afternoon. SELECT ORANGE SHOW HEAD SOON The applications of several men to act as manager of the 1924 California Valencia Orange Show will be discussed at the regular meeting Thursday of C. of C. directors in the Elks' clubhouse. The applicants hall from many parts of the country. An early selection is expected. The grounds between Anaheim and Fullerton will be leveled and planted with grass so that the public next summer won't have to walk through the dust to enter the tents. After hearing the neighbors talk, we gather that the next generation would be perfect if parents were permitted to raise one another's children. NO DEFENDANT AS COURT CONVENES Judge Z. B. West and members of the jury panel were all ready to try the case against E. J. Clark, Sunset Beach, on a charge of assault with dangerous weapons, when the county attorney announced that the defendant was not on hand to be tried. Jailor O. Moncrief reported that Clark had been turned over to the federal authorities at Los Angeles to be returned to Texas, Nov. 2. Clark is reported to have been charged with having smuggled 234 quarts of real whiskey from Mexico into Del Rio, Tex. He was out on $5000 bond and jumped his ball. The county attorney at Santa Ana had charged Clark with having shot William Golinda, 525 E. Broadway, Long Beach, in the abdomen Sept. 2. Golinda alleges that while walking with a friend named Kimball in Sunset Beach toward 5 p.m., Sept. 2, the pair met Clark standing just outside his home. Kimball and Clark got into a quarrel and Golinda says that Clark reached into his shirt for a knife or gun and that he grabbed his arm. The grab was not in time to prevent the shooting, according to Golinda, and five shots were fired, one of which took effect on the peacemaker. Golinda stated at the preliminary hearing that Clark had tried to borrow $100 from him the day previous to the shooting. Judge West ordered the case continued indefinitely and dismissed the jurors until Dec. 17.

The occasion was when Calvin Havin McClymonds, 20, and Miss Lowia RADICALS AGAIN BLOCK CONGRESS (Continued from page one) Any one amendment to a paragraph might involve the amendment of a number of other paragraphs. The rules of the house have been built upon the experiences of a hundred years and their amendment, however desirable it might seem, ought to be undertaken only after careful consideration. Under the plan already agreed upon for submission, and which will be presented, abundant opportunity to every member to have his suggestions carefully considered will be offered." Nelson immediately pointed out that the rules committee was dominated by the "old guard" and that the rules which his group favor would stand little chance in ever being reported out of committee. He also declared he had information that as soon as amendments were offered from the floor, Snell would move the previous question and under the rules, deny the insurgents their opportunities. The tie-up in the house, of course, deadlocked the senate likewise and that body adjourned today within a few minutes after it met. The progressive bloc immediately secured a copy of Longworth's statement after the adjournment and went into executive session to analyze it and see if it contained any straws of hope. The Democrats likewise held a meeting. The White House was confident in the afternoon that the president will be able to deliver his message tomorrow and send secret service men to the Capitol to make the necessary arrangements. They came up and saw Longworth and went back to the mansion with the tidings that the outlook was very dim. SEND REMAINS EAST Adam Gehring, 65, cousin of E.

BRIDE HELD UP DAY FOR LICENSE Blushing charmingly, Miss Opal Lewis, Huntington Beach, admitted to Deputy Clerk Hitchcock yesterday that she would not be 18 years old until today. The occasion was when Calvin Havis McClymonds, 20, and Miss Lewis applied for a marriage license. "Just one day too soon," said the hard-hearted clerk and there was consternation among the members of the wedding party. The bridegroom-to-be pleaded hard but the license was not issued until today when Miss Lewis celebrates her wedding and her anniversary on the same day. Another touch of poetry embellished the clerk's office today when Oliver Wendell Holmes, 21, took out a marriage license to wed Minnie De Haas, Long Beach. Mr. Holmes did not claim to be a poet but he looked lovingly at his young bride-to-be. SHOP EARLY ST. JOSEPH'S LOSES St. Joseph's Academy baseball nine was defeated 16 to 12 by the Central school boys last evening on the Central school diamond. Miss Mattie Lou Robertson acted as coach.

Buy In Anaheim APPROVE SALE OF VET HOSPITAL SITE EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., Dec. 4.—Unanimous approval of the sale of the house and grounds of C. L. "Liv" Morse to be used for a veterans' hospital was given today by the special appraisement committee, which has been investigating. The decision came after an all-night session. Several local businessmen, including realtors, had testified in favor of Morse and the transaction, appraising the property for which $90,000 was paid by the government, at an estimated value of between $80,-000 and $100,000. The appraisement committee was brought here following testimony given at Washington, which made it appear that the price paid for the property might have been excessive.

That you may have a choice of destination for your voice, a vast network of Bell System circuits interconnects all important centers, reaching millions of homes and business places. Over these circuits more than 158,000 traffic employees stand guard. But long before these highways of speech were ready for use another army of workers had wrestled with problems of construction and maintenance. A huge manufacturing plant had mobilized its forces. Thousands of toilers in mine and forest had sought raw materials. Physicists and chemists, through laboratory research, had laid a sure foundation for efficient service. All the forces and wonders of industry and science have been drawn upon to serve you when you make a long distance telephone call.
