It became apparent today that the west might be right, following an official announcement that the richest and most populous city in the country as running more than $75,000 behind its quota award the American Olympic fund. It is the only large American city in which this condition obtains such a flagrant degree. San Francisco, for example, subscribed its quota in the first week of the drive and may after more. To date, something less than $25,000 has been raised in New York and the writer has been given to understand that not small part of this sum has come from the purses of private individuals who merely advanced the money to make the thing good. There has been nothing forthcoming, to date, from the sporting interests of the biggest sporting city. Part of the Olympic program calls for competition in horse racing. Yet the local tracks and racing associations have not signified their intention to say it with blank checks or any other kind. Ball hasn't offered either money or services, in spite of the fact that some 220,000 paid the way thru the turnstiles on opening day and more are coming. Seems to be about time for someone to be informed of the significance of the syllabic “pay” patriotism. STANDINGS Pacific Coast League W. L. P. San Francisco ... 8 2 .8 Vernon ... 7 3 .7 Salt Lake ... 5 3 .6 Los Angeles ... 4 6 .6 Oakland ... 4 6 .4 Sacramento ... 4 6 .4 "Blow Your Own Horn" at United Theatre Tonight To use a popular selling phrase employed by the manufacturers of food products in connection with a best-seller in the moving pictures, "Blow Your Own Horn" is blended to please the most discriminating taste. It is a pot-pourri of dramatic qualities that suits everybody. It is a tasty, cinema pudding. It has delicate humor and comedy. It teaches a moral and yet winds up with the strongest melodrama. It contrasts the gentle hand-claps of young love with the bitter blows of business hatred. Starting with the arrival home of a penniless ex-soldier, whose only friend is his motherless nine-year-old brother, Buddy, a string of thrilling events begin to unwind which leave him "sittin' pretty." After getting some advice from a rich man named Small to blow his own horn, he overdoes the thing and ruins that piece of tinware by his gigantic blasts. Finally, through his own merit and not because of his blowing about something he has never done, he wins Smail's daughter and a well-earned fortune. When one considers the fact that this play has already scored a success upon the legitimate stage, that its already rich humor has been augmented by the additions of James W. Horne, whose power for improvisation has gained for him a big reputation as a director, and that it is played by an all-star cast, what more need be said? Horne's "The Hottenot" has been one of the biggest successes of the season. The photography and the art direction are excellent. If you do not witness "Blow Your Own Horn" during its present run at the United theater, you will make a big mistake. STANDINGS Pacific Coast League W. L.

The babe has visited "Bonesetter" Reese, who has tried to repair the "old souper" arm and bring the Pirates "grand old man" back into shape. According to reports, the arm failed to respond to treatment and now Manager McKechnie is not counting on Adams to do more than coach the young pitchers and fill in occasionally in a pinch.

Miller almost had to employ a step ladder to whisper in the giant's ear, but, nevertheless and not-withstanding, the little giant made the big old ugly giant beg for mercy twice; the first time in 38 1-2 minutes with a reverse hammerlock and the second time in 11 minutes with an arm key or short arm scissors. Bool Montana was a gentle kitten beside this big, dark-skinned giant. He punched Miller, chinned him with a cutting board, jabbed him in the eye and pulled hair and did other rough acts. Kosac's superior weight and strength looked to be too much for the Brea lad for a while. He had Miller in several very close places, with toe-holds and the combination of crotch and Nelson holds. Miller kept breaking away and working on the big fellow's toes, but outside of dealing out a lot of misery Miller did not appear to gain much. They were on their feet when Miller secured the hold that resulted in the first fall. Miller suddenly caught the Armenian's arm and forced it into a reverse hammer. Kosac tried to spin out of the hold but Miller brought him to the mat and blocked the spin and there was nothing for the big man to do but give out the surrender signal, which set the fans wild. Kosac's tactics had the fans all booing and when he had to give up it set the house wild. The second period was the most interesting. Miller cut loose with all that he had and he surely gave the big Armenian a rough time of it but the big boy was tough.

Kosae tried to spin out of the hold but Miller brought him to the mat and blocked the spin and there was nothing for the big man to do but give out the surrender signal, which set the fans wild. Kosae's tactics had the fans all booing and when he had to give up it set the house wild. The second period was the most interesting. Miller cut loose with all that he had and he surely gave the big Armenian a rough time of it but the big boy was tough. He had Miller in a couple of close places but was unable to hold his advantage. Miller staged a series of five arm keys that had the fans dizzy. It was the prettiest bit of wrestling displayed at the club in many a moon. The Armenian was big enough and strong enough to break four of the vicious holds but the fifth was too much for him and he had to give out the distress signal, the fall coming in 11 minutes. Miller's speed was bewildering to the big man in these last few minutes. The Armenian just could not out of the way of danger. It was a great finish to a really good match, and the Armenian was man enough to make a public statement, giving Miller the credit of being the best man and added that the Brea lad stood a good chance with any of the heavy-weightts. A couple of the club boys started off the entertainment with three rounds of boxing that was good and even. Then Manager Jaffrey sought to give the fans a real treat and introduced Toby Montoya and the Oklahoma lad who has been outshing the club lads in the ring. Toby seemed to be trying to show the fans just how good he was at not working. The Oklahoma lad tried to box but it was evident that he was no match for the Placentia Mex. They went four rounds with about four blows landing. Toby landed those but he blocked and held on most of the time. The affair was called a draw which was the proper decision. Young Goodale of Anaheim took Tom Roller's place with Cyclone Lewis of Arizona, in the wrestling preliminary. Both boys appeared but of condition. The Cyclone never did get into real action and Goodale finally secured the fall with a double arm lock, in 18 minutes. Roy Maybee was among those present. He was entertaining as Roy always is, and for once he forgot to sell a Ford. We are going to inform Mr. Ford that Roy's playing the shiek is interfering with his salesmanship. John Hackenschmidt, you remember the Glendale Bearcat, was there and challenged the winner.

He was entertaining as Roy always is, and for once he forgot to sell a Ford. We are going to inform Mr. Ford that Roy's playing the shlek is interfering with his salesmanship. John Hackenschmidt, you remember the Glendale Bearcat, was there and challenged the winner. Hack is the same old boy that almost upset our Roy Mabee when Roy was going at his best and they say Hack is a better man now than when he met Roy. Hack was never satisfied with the defeat Roy dealt him and tried time and again to get a return with Roy. Roy was satisfied with his one victory. Manager Jaffray promised to stage the Bear Cat-Miller match within the next two weeks. This match should be the best that the club has ever attempted. Miller is sure going good and we all know that Hack is about as good as they make them. Tagging All Bases (By I. N. S.) Wayland Dean tossed $50,000 worth of pitching at the Dodgers in his major league debut and gained a ten innning victory for the Giants, 2 to 2, after being socked for homers by Johnstone and Fournier in the opening inning. Vance also turned in a natty performance. Jacchaeon hit a single, double, triple and homer but George Connally, Texas League recruit, had the rest of the Browna stopped, with the exception of Sisler, and the White Sox won six to three. The Browns threatened the youth in the ninth and he retired in favor of Lyons. All that the Cubs could do with Sherdel was sixteen hits, but the Cardinals made it look close at that. Score 7 to 4, favor the Cubs. The Yankees again finished second to the Red Sox, 9 to 1, Ferguson, a former playmate, pitching the champions dizzy. With the laudable idea of preventing a runner from scoring on a double steal, Pitcher Zahniser threw to second base instead of the plate and the Athletics pulled out a 4 to 2 decision over the Senators.

A. coliseum, is attracting a great deal of attention, since it is almost certain that a number of records will at least be equaled. Showings made by the high school athletes this season have been marvelous. Records which will get a severe test include the 220-yard low hurdles, 100 and 220-yard dash and high jump. Requa, star Manual Arts hurler, has bettered the record of 24.2 by Charlie Daggs, formerly of Riverside high school stand. ANGELS’ LOSING STREAK BROKEN LOS ANGELES, April 18.—Los Angeles’ losing streak was broken yesterday when Charlie Root, newly acquired twirler, held Vernon to two hits, winning 3-0. Toot, former moundwoman of the St. Louis Browns, showed real stuff and on several occasions received loud applause from the 6,000 fans. Besides pitching a stellar game Root drove out a double. The Tiger’s weakness was in pitching. Cruz replacing Christian at the ninth, then Jo stop what looked like an slangt. Gilder took the mound being replaced by Penner in the same innings. At no time did the Bengals threaten to score, first base being their limit. Los Angeles put across two runs in the sixth and one in the ninth, coming close in the second, when Jacobs pounded out a double to the left field force, taking third on Golvin’s sacrifice fly to Menosky, but was caught at the plate on Gunther’s hit to Slade who made a fast pug to D. Murphy. In the sixth Townbly started the rally for the Angels by singling to left, taking second on McAuley’s sacrifice and scoring on Durst’s triple to center. Hood doubled to center bringing in Durst, but was caught between second and third on Jacob’s hit to Deal. Jacobs was nailed at second attempting to steal. In the Youth" Girl Calif. H.

Vic Klein and Archie Woodyard, the former of Hollywood and the latter of Jefferson, tied in the 220-yard dash a week ago in the remarkable time of 21.8 seconds. This betters the record of 22.3 held by Paddock, when he was a high school lad at Pasadena high. The 100-yard dash will bring out some real competition also. Klein and Woodyard have been running neck and neck in the fast time of 10 seconds, which comes under the old mark by some 2-5 of a second.
