UNITED THEATER, 200, E. Center BIG DOUBLE PROGRAM THURSDAY "The Flying Dutchman" RICHARD WAGNER'S FAMOUS OPERA OF THE SEA AND Rube Miller AND MIS FAMOUS Country Store FLOUR—HAMS GROCERIES FREE TONIGHT GLADYS WALTON IN 'CROSSED WIRES' GEORGES MAY BE SEEN FOR PRICE NEW YORK, April 9. — Georges Carpentier, that gay young blade of the boniewards, notified all concerned today that it was his ANGELS DEFEAT SEATTLE 5 TO 1 LOS ANGELES, April 9. — Scoring three runs in the fifth off a brace of singles, a walk, double steal and an error, the Los Angeles ball club opened the Coast league season yesterday afternoon with a 5 to 1 victory over Seattle. The Angels had tallied once in the fourth and crossed the rubber again in the eighth to gather in their quintet of markers. Seattle's lone tally was a homer by Catcher Baidwin in the fifth. Eleven thousand fans braved the threatening weather and were awarded with a good brand of the national pastime. The usual ceremonies featured the opening and the notables who took part were Mayor Cryer, Sheriff Traeger, Jack Dempsey and Agnes Ayres. Los Angeles' southpaw mayor heaved three balls over the platter and Champion Jack Dempsey did not give the sheriff a chance to call but one of them, sending two out for hits. Miss Ayres had a soft job as arbiter also. Otis Crandall was nicked for a couple of bingles in the opening frame, but got out without a score. Brady, Indian second sackor, had the honor of clouting the first hit of the season, but he was left stranded on third. Three spectacular plays featured the afternoon's bill. In the initial inning Whaley raced in almost to second base to take a fly off Bowman's bat, rolling over as he caught the ball. Crane grabbed Twombly's single in the third with his bare hand but could not throw the runner out in time. Rowher ran to the left field bleachers in the same inning and snagged a foul fly that looked almost impossible. The same teams play today providing rain does not fall too heavily. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Los Angeles, 5; Seattle, 1. Vernon, 7; Sacramento, 1. San Francisco, 3; Portland, 2. One of the most novel and original screen offerings to visit this city is "The Flying Dutchman," the smashing picture of Wagner famous opera, which comes to the United theatre on Thursday night. It is absolutely different from any picture ever made, and even fan owes it to himself to see it. It is a colorful, dramatic story of the centuries old legend of the blasphemous mariner who was demned to roam the seven seas until in one of his every seven years' trips to earth he should meet a woman who would be faithful unto death. MITCHELL WINNER PORTLAND, Ore., April 9. — Pinky Mitchell, junior welter champ, gained a 10-round decision IN 'CROSSED WIRES' GEORGES MAY BE SEEN FOR PRICE NEW YORK, April 9.—Georges Carpentier, that gay young blade of the boulevards, notified all concerned today that it was his worthy intention to make a public matter of his training for the scheduled bout with Gene Tunney here on or about June 8. The glad tidings were received in a cablegram to Jack O'Brien, who conducts an exclusive gym here, exclusive to those with the price of admission. It will be the first time a palpant public can view Georges at close range without paying numerous dollars for the privilege. The cablegram was signed by Francois Descamps and read as follows: "Please arrange Carpentier training your gym while in New York. Privacy unessential. Sail about May 10." On the occasion of the Dempsey business, our Georges retired behind barbed wire and armed sentries to prepare himself for the great tumble. That his preparations were not in vain was attested to by the fact that he showed unusual form in tumbling on the day in question. Nothing more graceful was ever seen in an American ring. Now, however, he seems to feel he has learned the trick and the need for secrecy no longer exists. COL. ALFRED BEACH FACES INDICTMENT MINNEAPOLIS, April 9.—Indictments charging extortion, bribery, and violation of the federal war risk insurance act were returned by the federal grand jury today against Col. Alfred H. Beach, formerly connected with the Minneapolis office of the U.S. Veterans' Bureau, but now said to be in Wyoming. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Los Angeles, 5; Seattle, 1. Vernon, 7; Sacramento, 1. San Francisco, 3; Portland, 2. Oakland, 8; Salt Lake, 4. CYPRESS FOSTERS CLEANUP CAMPAIGN Cypress has been attacked with an energetic clean-up bug. The citizens of that community, who have been mighty proud of their community for a long time, are taking steps to beautify the city and have issued an appeal to clean up premises, put trucks out of sight when not in use, refrain from throwing papers and trash about and pick up what the other fellow throws away, sow lawns, and use enough elbow grease to make the thriving city spick and span. Work as well as money is required to keep up a community and Cypress is contributing both. Lions' Auction Sale—Jack Martin, the Irish auctioneer, in charge. Read the late fiction at 3c per day. Bigelow's, 308 E. Center. MITCHELL WINNER PORTLAND, Ore., April 9.—Pinky Mitchell, junior welt champion, gained a 10-round decision over Bobby Harper of Seattle lag night. A short right to the jaw dropped Harper in the eighth and took the count of nine. Mitchell followed with three more jabs but Harper withstood the attack. Mitchell fought a crafty battle and kept Harper at long range. THYE HOLDS TITLE SALT LAKE CITY, April 9.—Ted Thyde retained his title world's light-heavyweight wrestling champion last night by defeating Ira Dern, Salt Lake City in two out of three falls. By stressing his famous wrist hold, the Portlander secured the first fall. After severely punishing Thyde with several vicious headlocks, Dern easily pinned the champion's shoulders to the mat for the second fall. In the final session, Thyde slowly wore down his heavier opponent. BATTLE TO LAST FOR MELLON TAX WASHINGTON, April 9.—A administration leaders in the senate will fight to the last ditch for the Mellon tax plan.

The Flying Dutchman” At United Theater Thursday Scene From "THE FLYING DUTCHMAN" One can feel the sting of the spray. The bite of the wind. The thrill of the sea. It is a delightful screen trip to Holland, with a special selected cast, headed by Lawson Butt, Lola Duxford, Ella Hall, Edward Coxan and Walter Law. On the same program there will be Rube Miller and his famous "Country Store." This is always a big night when Rube is in town as he always has something in his store that is new. This week he is going to give away a beautiful sewing cabinet, along with the flour, hams and groceries. SARGUM PROUTINGS Louis Angel Firpo claims to have closed his ring career with three punches, when he knocked out Al Reich of New York down in Buenos Aires Saturday evening. The Angel may think he has closed his ring career, but we'll bet a cookie that he changes his mind. The Reich fight was no fight; just "a knock me down, take me away affair" that merely proved to the 25,000 fans that their convictions were true. Firpo can surely hit. Only one man has been able to stand a crusher from the Firpo fist and that was iron-jawed Jack Dempsey. With the fading of Firpo from the pugilistic glow for the time being, another star has been started blinking across the horizon. It is known as Quentin Romero-Rojas. Tex Rickard is the motive power behind this new star. Tex sees another international gate with its million of dollars or so velvet. A few hand-picked daisies will be set up for Mr. Romero-Rojas to knock coo-coo and then he will be the logical claimant for Jack Dempsey's crown. Rojas has just landed in New York and is going to knock any and all comers dead. It is claimed he is faster than Carpentier and a heavier hitter than Firpo. All that would be necessary would be a few demonstrations on the best men of the country and a match with Champion Jack and the new crowned king would live for many years safe and secure on his throne. Whiz Bang Bill says the Bull is mightier than the bullet and we have to admit that it is. The eight clubs of the Pacific Coast league are off in a bunch. Most all the clubs have strengthened their crews and the on-coming race looks to be a hot one. Vernon has become very formidable.

Most all the clubs have strengthened their crews and the on-coming race looks to be a hot one. Vernon has become very formidable with the acquisition of Pitchers Courtney and Cadore. We now have Vernon, Salt Lake, Sacramento and the Seals closely bunched, to our opinion. The other teams are as dark horses and are liable to pull a surprise and upset the dope. Managing will count a lot in this race. We figure that Bill Essic of the Tigers can get more out of his men than any manager in the minors. Bill Kenworthy and Duffy Lewis are the next best work producers. Pick and Killifer can handle some men and others they cannot. Ellison and Krug are still experiments and Ivan Howard never set the world a fire as a manager. The boy that could give Los Angeles a real ball club and a big drawing team is none other than Rube Ellis, one of the most-liked players that ever played on the coast. The Los Angeles team is not half bad, but must have some more pitching strength. She is strong behind the bat, the infield looks all to the candy and the outfield should be the class of the league. If Krug is capable of lashing the Angels into doing their best, they may be very much in this old pennant chase. An old-time newsaper man is one who can remember when the star was introduced to visiting celebrities unless he happened to be drunk that day.

Say when you are near Los Angeles and Broadway in Anaheim, take a look at our new station under construction. HELLO “DIXIE” Los Angeles and Broadway Anaheim, Calif.
