SANTA FE SPGS. CONTINUES OFF The productioa of the greatest high gravity field of the south, Santa Fe Springs, continues to decline at from 500 to a 1000 bbls a day. The latest figures on the output show less than 183,000 barrels. One of the greatest surprises since oil was discovered in California was the re-discovery of the Whitney Heights field with a deep sand well. For 19 months J. E. O'Donnell has been patiently working away trying to get a deep well down. At 4250 feet some very good looking stuff was found. 14 feet more and Whitley No. 7 spotted and gave Southern California a new oil field. The well has made a production test of 2500 barrels, the oil is 34.6 gravity, of a greenish tinge that seems to indicate a paraffine base. The discovery of the deep sand in an old and practically abandoned field is one of the greatest sensations the oil business has had in many a year. Four years ago Rideout Heights was opened with a 300 barrel well at 3200 feet and caused real excitement. Several other concerns drilled on adjoining properties going to 3900 and finding nothing quit the field. These leases will no doubt all be grabbed again and deep wells started on them. Montebello's west extension test well, Bicknell No. 1, is being made ready for a production test that will show whether or not the 4300 foot level has any oil. Should the Bicknell fail to make commercial production it will go on to the 6000 foot level. STOCKS CLOSE IRREGULAR NEW YORK, Dec 27.—Profit taking caused irregularity in the stock market at the close today. The desire to realize wiped out practically all of the early ed. SARGUM SPROUTINGS Bakersfield ran away with the state football championship when she defeated Lick 27 to 13. This makes the fourth straight championship for the Drillers. All of these years their teams have been heavier and huskier than any other team in the state. Lick made a brilliant stand but the extra weight was too much of a handicap. It is reported that Joe Stecker, once holder of the world's championship, is of turn professional baseball player. Joe has quite a name as an amateur and wants to blossom cut into a real profess. Many of the greatest of today's wrestlers still think that he is a better man than Lewis. Joe has been wrestling in the cast and they say that he is going better than ever. There is talk of a great match win Lewis in the very near future. Joe has a lot of real money he is willing to wager that he can take the championship away from Lewis. It has been reported that $40,000 has been offered for the match. Joe has asked for a chance to go into spring training with the Omaha Western League team. He will attempt to hold down the initial corner. It looks as if Charles Paddock is going to be kept off 1924 American Olympic team. The A. A. U. refused some time ago to recognize the great sprinter's records and now they are trying to make him ineligible to compete for future records. They claim that he did not account for expense money given him. Also, that he went on a lecture tour and did some exhibition running while in Europe about a year ago. Charley is probably not as fast as he once was and the months are counting on his speed rapidly now. The fastest man living may not be able STOCKS CLOSE IRREGULAR NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Profit taking caused irregularity in the stock market at the close today. The desire to realize wiped out practically all of the early advance. Studebaker fell 2 points to 105%; Davison Chemical 1½ to 71%; General Electric 2 points to 184%; corn products nearly 3 points to 157¼; and American Foundry over 1 point to 161¾. The steels yielded fractionally. Standard Oil of N. J. rose 1½ to 30 but the other oils were fractionally lower. Government bonds unchanged; railway and other bonds steady. Stock sales today totalled 1,783,000 shares; bonds $15,953,000. GRAIN CLOSES WEAK CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—Grain closed irregular to weak today after a session which gave the impression that yesterday's upturn had been due to short covering. The flurry resulting was believed to have temporarily weakened the condition of prices. Foreign and domestic news was rather colorless. Wheat closed % to ½ c lower; corn up % to ¾ c and oats % up to ½ c cramped. Provisions were weaker.

Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Another New York-Philadelphia transaction, whereby the Giants will acquire title to Jimmie Ring, one of the best right handers in baseball, and "Butch" Henline, probably the best of the young catchers, is said to be in the process of cooking. According to all accounts McGraw is prepared to do some very haudsome player-juggling for the boon of this pair of permanent society. The names of John Watson and John Scott, pitchers; Jack Bentley, pitcher; first baseman and pinch hitter, and Frank Snyder, veteran catcher, have been mentioned, off-hand, as possible pawns in the deal. For one, William Baker is said in figuring upon the details of the figuring upon the detils of the trade, and is demanding pitchers who can pitch—and hitters who can hit. William still esteems money very highly, but the contemporaneous Connie Mack has cramped Mr. Baker's style not a little by rushing into print with tales of fabulous purchases. William cannot very well afford to engage in his selling enterprises with his rival abandoning salesmanship in favor of buying. In this case, he can show some constructive results in the event that men like eButley, Watson and Snyder are included in the deal. Bentley cost McGraw some $65,000 only a year ago, and is really a great ball player. He was something of a flop as a left hand pitcher, but topped the national league in pinch hitting, compiling the plausible average of .427 in 52 games. He would go very big in Philadelphia with that trick fence in right field as a target. Snyder fell off in his work last season, but still has plenty of good baseball between his cap and his instep. Watson is a good pitcher. So is Scott when the spirit moves him. The latter has outlasted his welcome here, however, and it is understood that McGraw is ready to dispose of him. The character of such a trade from a New York standpoint is obvious. Ring would be a big winner with a team like the Giants behind him, and altho it is pretty generally known that Ring...

HUSKIES START SOUTH FRIDAY SEATTLE, Dec. 27.—With only two days left for practice before they depart for the south Friday for their game with the Navy New Year's day, the Washington Huskies are beginning to warm up to the big contest. The men are realizing that football fans of the nation will be watching Washington on New Year's Day and a victory over the navy will be a greater feat in the eyes of the east than a win over California would have been. Following their day's layoff, Bagshaw's men were at it again last night with the full squad on hand. Tesareau and Sherman are nursing hurts today but both are expected alright when the whistle blows for the big game. Baggy is drilling all his substitutes thorny, so that he will have plenty of men ready to step into the game. PRIZE CONTEST DANCE TONIGHT AT 8:30 Taylor's Academy of Dancing PRESSELL HALL, ANAHEIM BROWN'S ORCHESTRA LUCKY SPOT DANCES Snyder fell off in his work last season, but still has plenty of good baseball between his cap and his instep. Watson is a good pitcher. So is Scott when the spirit moves him. The latter has outlasted his welcome here, however, and it is understood that McGraw is ready to dispose of him. The character of such a trade from a New York standpoint, is obvious. Ring would be a big winner, with a team like the Giants behind him, and altho it is pretty generally known that Ring and Art Fletcher are in perfect accord, it is taken for granted that the pitcher would welcome a change of scene. Henline is frankly dissatisfied with Philadelphia.. In fact, he made no secret at his elation at the recent Chicago baseball meetings when back stairs gossip had it that he was soon to become a Giant again. He is one of McGraw's discoveries, and was shifted to Philadelphia in one of those innumerable New York-Philadelphia trades, a deal that both McGraw and Henline lived to regret.

THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. port Champions of Harold Grange Helen Wills Firpo Zev T GIANTS MAY GET RING Gertrude STIFF PRACTICE FOR HOOP STARS Coach Fitzmorris' charges received some stiff practice last evening when the basketball squads met Pomona crews at the local gym. The local 130-pound division won 22 to 17. They played exceptionally well. The varsity crew had the strongest opposition. Several local mainstays wore worse, giving subs an opportunity to show their wares. The first string played a quintet from Pomona Y. M. C. A. with some of his best players gone. Coach Fitzmorris was not disappointed when his team lost 16 to 2. Material for the local 110-pounders is showing up well and, although they lost 36 to 30, they executed some brilliant plays. With more practice, this crew should place first in any league. The coach is proud of all the teams, and gets the strongest opposition possible. The battle with the 1923 alumni tomorrow will be a big event. A picked alumni team will play the varsity crew this evening. NAB "CHIEF" MYERS SAN DIEGO, Dec. 27—"Chief" Myers, famous battery mate of Christy Mathewson for the Giants was arrested here today for reckless driving and is slated to appear in court Saturday. The ex-catcher is said to have been in a collision with a car driven by the coroner enroute to Tia Juana. Myers did not stop, and was pursued by the police and arrested. POSTPONE GAME The basketball game scheduled this evening between A. H. S. varsity and alumni girls will be held tomorrow night at the local gym, according to coach Irene Jacques. Several players could not be rounded up this evening. The varsity boys also have a game tomorrow with 1923 alumni. SPORT SNAP SHOTS BY JACK KEENE Mickey Doolan, one of the most picturesque infielders in the game during the period he served as short for the Phillies, has given up baseball entirely. Doolan, who has been managing clubs the last few years, will devote all his time to practicing medicine, according to word from Springfield, Mo. Mickey managed the Fort Smith Western Association club last season. Iron Man Joe McGinnity has quit baseball. Another young gent lost to baseball. Joe was that the American league is aiding him in his battle. You can't squelch them. Fred Mollwits, former major league and old enough to prefer ease, is leading the battles in the Sacramento winter baseball league. Johnny Wilson, former middle-weight champion—in some towns—scored a technical knockout over one Pat McCarthy the other night. And McCarthy didn't accuse anyone of holding his foot while Johnny hit him. PRIMA DONNAS IN BASEBALL COSTLY By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Dec. 27—The high cost of prima connas being what it is, both of the New York ball clubs are making no secret of the fact that they look for purlins times this year in lining up the players for the 1924 season. The fact that each club is not a three time pennant winner only serve to make the fountain pen more diffident. Of the entire list of world champion Yankees, only George H. Ruth, the well known outfielder, is signed to a 1924 contract Of the national league champion Giants, George Kelly is the only member in line. Both have hold over contracts. The Yankees, ever a somber distraint lot, are expected to cause the greater turmoil. Their victory in the late world's series was hardly hours old, when some kind soul quoted Colonel Ruppert as saying that every regular in the outfit was due for a substantial salary increase. The colonel has lashed himself into a lather denying the statement, but, according to the Yankees, the first time proved to Many of the world's champions will want to hear the green-back crackle and the gold pieces climb. The fact that some few of the young men are in for a reduction in salary probably will give the Giant officials something to accept their odd moments.

SENTENCES 5 MEN WITHIN 10 MINUTES LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7—In a brief ten minutes today Judge Arthur Keetch sentenced two men to be hanged, gave one man a life sentence and ordered two other men to San Quentin for a period of from ten years to life. Joe Sinuel and Robert Matthew will be hanged for the murder of a Los Angeles grocer. Because he is only 16 years old Jose Ybarra will serve a life term for the murder of Gordon McCutcheon. The other two men were implicated in the murder of the grocer. REPUTED WEALTHY YOUNG L.A. BROKER HELD IN SEATTLE SEATTLE, Dec. 27—F. L.Main, young stock broker, wanted in New York, Los Angeles and Seattle on various charges, was being held in the city jail here today without bail, following his arrest last night by an operative for the Burns detective agency. Los Angeles authorities, according to dispatches from that city, charged Main with obtaining more than $100,000 from approximately 150 investors in an alleged fraudulent oil venture in southern Oregon. The specific Los Angeles charge against Main is that he obtained $10,000 from Mrs. Carrie Bowman thru his representations of oil prospects. He was indicted by a Los Angeles grand jury Oct. 27, 1920, on a charge of criminal conspiracy, but in the meantime he had disappeared. Later the same year Main is reported to have been arrested in New York city for passing a $75 check drawn on a Seattle bank which proved to be worthless. He is said to have deposited $3,000 bail, which he "jumped," before New York authorities learned he was wanted in Los Angeles. He came here recently and opened a brokerage office, and a few days ago a warrant for his arrest was placed in the hands of local police accusing him of the removal of a mortgaged auto. When the "dew falls" the air is saturated with moisture; a 50 per cent humidity would, therefore, constitute half-saturation. From 60 to 80 per cent is requisite for good health. REPUTED WEALTHY GAMBLER IS MYTH LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7—Lou Harris, reputed wealthy Jurez Mex., negro, gamble became a myth today when Milton Carlson, handwriting expert, declared that letters supposed to have been written to Elsaer LaMale, motion picture producer, by Harris, were in reality written by LaMale himself. These letters referred to a plan of La Male to sell his wife to the negro for $500,000. Mrs. La Male sued for divorce recently and submitted the letters as evidence. Following the filing of the suit La Male said he wrote the letters to cure his wife of extravagant habits. CALIF. HOTEL FULLERTON W. P. Cassidy, G. O. Fogleman, J. A. Dawson, J. R. Nash, J. W.
