SAN FRANCISCO, April Brown of California's youth heralded in the far west on ball field, oval and diamond toppled over crew prospects spring at the University of formia. Most of the men turning for shell sport at Berkeley and big for the sport, according to Ebright, the new coach at blue and gold crew home. Instead of tall, rangy men brawny athletes, weighing 10 to 20 pounds too much, are porting for crew practice, Ebright eagerly seeks new trial. No varsity shell has been ed as yet. There's a hot battle for coxwain job. Hotle, Armstrong and Tap are in the "cox" race and it's body's medal right now. Because he's a demon fer work and always trying, H who coxed last years' fresh may have an edge. Armstrong junior, has had more expert than Hotle or Tapscott. Coach Ebright is very much posed to a movement now on to shorten the distance of the college regattas. He is introducing at Berkeley the Coniobre strike, perfected at Washington which is ideally adapted to races and which might prove less effective in a shorter dash. It will take a couple of years place the new strokes on its hard work shot to please bringing in of the lapper race. Washington is also buck the proposal to shorten up jaunts. The Coniobre stroke was by Washington last year in big win over the Navy and shells of eastern colleges slow, graceful stroke easily. IOWA TO GAIN MORE HONORS IN SPORTS DES MOINES, Ia., April 29.—Aside from developing a Charley Brookins, world's speed marvel; Eric Wilson, who tied the national intercollegiate 220-yard record, and a mile relay team which broke the world's record, Iowa has established a substantial record in collegiate athletics during the last 12 months and anticipates even greater success to come. With but two old men remaining, Coach Howard Jones, of Iowa university, failed to turn out a championship football team last year. Rumors of the impending departure of Coach Jones to Trinity college have occasioned grief on the Iowa university campus, for he brought the team up from comparative obscurity in 1916 to the championship in 1921 and 1922. Drake university won five of seven pigskin battles last year, as did Iowa State college at Ames. With the record of seven straight victories in 1922 and five in 1923, 13 of the 15 football letter men of Drake, augmented by a fine bunch of freshmen timber, will strive for a championship team this year. They have a tough schedule, including intersectional contests with Utah and Florida universities, to be played at Salt Lake City and Gainesville; five Missouri Valley games with Ames, Grinnell, Oklahoma, Kansas State, and one with Knox.

Merton instead of a self-performed goat gland rejuvenation operation, was being investigated by Coroner J. Ray Keating today. Meanwhile three other men reless effective in a shorter dash. It will take a couple of years place the new strokes or its and Ebright does not want to his hard work shot to please bringing in of the lapped race. Washington is also buck the proposal to shorten up jaunts. The Conibear stroke was by Washington last year in big win over the Navy and shells of eastern colleges slow, graceful stroke easily tanced the short, swift and rachpy action of the easterne. ZEV LOSES RACE RACE TRACK, JAMAICA, Y., April 29.—Zev champion year-old of the 1923 season, to St. James, winner of the turty last year, in the fea Paumonok this afternoon. James was three lengths in lead when the horses flashed the judges' stand. St. James' time, 1:11 3-5 but two-fifths of a second slow than the track record, and made all the more remarkable cause the track was heavy. Odds on the winner were to 1. Zev and Rigel, coupled as Renocoeus entry, were held at prohibitive odds of 2 to 5. Sunde was plying his w vigorously down the last quarter in a vain effort to overtake flying Wildner colt.

Safe Fat Reduction Reduce, reduce, reduce, is the slogan of all fat people. Get thin, be slim, is the cry of fashion and society. And the over-fat wring their hands in mortification and helplessness; revolting at nauseating drugs, afraid of violent exercise, dreading the unwelcome and unsatisfying diet, until they hit upon the harmless Marmola Prescription and learn through it that they may safely reduce steadily and easily without one change in their mode of life, but harmlessly, secretly, and quickly reaching their ideal of figure, with a smoother skin, better appetite and health than they have ever known. And now comes Marmola Prescription Tablets from the same famously harmless formula as the Marmola Prescription. It behooves you to learn the satisfactory, beneficial effects of this great, safe, fat reducer by giving to your drugist one dollar for a box, or sending a like amount to the Marmola Company, 4612 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, Mich., with a request that they mail to you a box of Marmola Prescription Tablets. BOOTLEG LIQUOR OR GOAT GLAND SAN RAFAEL, April 29.—Possibility that bootleg liquor may have caused the death or contributed to the end of John E. Merton instead of a self-performed goat gland rejuvenation operation, was being investigated by Coroner J. Ray Keating today. Meanwhile three other men, relatives of Merton, who joined with him in the wierd Easter Day ceremony in which a young goat was slain and its glands used in the operation, were under observation, but are reported to have suffered no ill effects. An analysis of the stomach of Merton is being made to determine if the liquor he drank; according to officers, caused blindness which preceded death. Coroner Keaton said the attempt of Merton to inject the goat gland with a hypodermic needle had resulted in an abdominal abscess, but he was not certain this had caused death. WIFE RECOVERS; HUSBAND IS DEAD SANTA MONICA, April 29.—Death today brot a final parting of the ways when Walter Hill, 37, scenario writer, died a few hours after he had shot his wife and himself. Mrs. Hill is expected to recover. Jealousy is the motive attributed by police for the shooting, which took place before pleasure-seekers at the beach last night. The Hillis had been separated six months, and met for the first time last night when the husband sought a reconciliation. HONDURAS CAPITAL FALLS TO REBELS WASHINGTON, April 29.—Tequigalpa, capital of Honduras, has fallen to the rebels, the navy department was advised today in a dispatch from the commander of the U. S. S. Milwaukee at Amapala. Withdrawal of the American naval forces in Honduras has been approved by Rear Admiral John D. Dayton, the dispatch said. Battling Sikl has ceased to be the only Sengalese attraction in the ring. Marcell Britt, billed for the Sengalese bantam champ, followed his illustrious countman to the U.S. and seeks battles which will prove stealing stones he hopes, to a match with Joel phus Lynch, off and on bantam king. According to Britt's manager the lad fought 24 battles France and Belgium before sailling for New York and won every one. Tommy Gibbons hasn't fought in his home town of St. Paul since he boxed Jack Demempsey the expense of half a dozen Nana bankers. Now it is planned to give the home folk a look their "boy." And Tommy out to look good to them. For setup they have picked out him is Free Fulton, the work champion—when it comes to ciding he has had enough. Billy Evans, American leaarbiter, has been chosen for H.Wagner's All-Americanump squad. Honors sure are poured in on Billy. A few years ago late John F. Stapleton, athletic director of the Cleveland Athletic club and a prince of fellows, lectured Billy as "the Mod Apollo." Are good throwing outfield disappearing from the big show at least the National league? official averages of the old circ recently issued, would indict this. The veteran Max Carey the outer gardeners in assists he was able to collect but Only four others collected 20 more. Arnold Stats of the C helped kill off 28 runners. Young of the Giants and Southworth with the Braves. AVAILABLE SHELL MEMBER TOO MEATY STAN FRANCISCO, April 29. A men of California's youth, long-haired in the far west on foot-field, oval and diamond, has led over crew prospects this past at the University of Calia. Most of the men turning out shell sport at Berkeley are too sport, according to Kyight, the new coach at the and gold crew home. Instead of tall, rangy men, big, heavy athletes, weighing from 20 pounds too much, are reing for crew practice, while tight eagerly seeks new materity shell has been pick-yet. There's a hot battle for the main job. Armstrong and Tapscott in the "cox" race and it's any-more medal right now. Because he's a demon for hard work and always trying, Hotle, coxed last year's fresh shell, have an edge. Armstrong, a rer, has had more experience Hotle or Tapscott. Much Ebright is very much up to a movement now on foot corten the distance of the big ree regattas. He is introduce at Berkeley the Conibear perfected at Washington, it is ideally adapted to long and which might prove far effective in a shorter dash. Will take a couple of years to the new strokes on its feet. Ebright does not want to see hard work shot to pieces by being in of the lapped-off Washington is also buckling proposal to shorten up crew stiffs. The Conibear stroke was used Washington last year in its win over the Navy and the of eastern colleges. The graceful stroke easily discovered. SARGUM PROUTINGS Vernon was slated to give the Seals a real battle on the home lot but they were not figured to cep five cut of seven. Boss Esnick has his band of kids on the same elevation with the Seals as a result of last week's play. The Tigers just went out and knocked the Seal pitchers all over the lot. The win was the result of heavy hitting rather than good pitching and fielding. Of course, the Tigers got a little of both to hold the Seals down but it was the big stick that did the work. Los Angeles is starting the season off like she played all last season, a winner at home and a hum in strange lots. The Angels dropped five and took two from the lowly Acorns. It seems to take the rooting of the home fans to put any pep into Marty Krug's bunch. It has been so long since Los Angeles had a real fighting combination that the fans have forgotten about it. A few may remember Tim Flood and his band of devil Angels. Tim got himself kicked out of the league for fight- ing but the Angels were so far in the lead when Tim had to make his exit that they were never headed. The New York teams are upsetting the dope in the big leagues. The Yankees, who were expected to jump right out in the lead, are having a hard time finding themselves, but are fairly settled in second place. The Giants, slated for a berth away down the ladder, are setting pretty away out in the lead. Baseball cannot be figured. The wiser the doperest the harder he falls. Rogers Hornsby, the St. Louis National star, is out to cop Babe Ruth's honors. Babe has two to his credit and Hornsby four. There are many long games yet to SOUND SENTIMENT OF TENNIS CLUBS NEW YORK April 29—With the announcement of Vincent Richards' resignation from the Davis cup team of 1324, following that of William T. Tilden, national champion, came the statement today that the West Side Tennis club will call a special meeting to sound sentiment on the player-writer situation, focal point in the controversy. News of the proposed action by the West Side club, largest and most influential tennis organization in the country, marked the first suggestion of a break in the ranks of those opposed to the player-writers. It is a break that may be repaired speedily or may result in a flood of sentiment against the tennis association's interpretation of the amateur rule, an interpretation that seems certain to deprive amateur tennis of the services of not only Tilden and Richards, but those of Carl Fischer. Wallace Johnson, one of the Kinsey brothers. Frank Anderson and other tennis stars who daily with the literatti. Should the West side meeting, called by petition of members for and against the interpretation, develop sentiment against the ruling, an effort will be made to convene a meeting of metropolitan tennis in order to learn its views in the matter. The West Side club would need the cooperation of ether clubs to accomplish this purpose, but since the club itself stands as a sponsor for the forthcoming Davis cup matches, the ballet is general that it could and would line up sufficelnt support. In the event that the Metropolitan association goes on record as being opposed to the interpretation, an effort will be made to convene a meeting of the New York state Ass'n. If the latter should happen to string along behind the band wagon, the same procedure would be followed in an attempt to have a special meeting of the U.S. Lenni-Tennis Club. A. H. S.

The fact that the firemen plan to play in feminine attire is expected to give added attraction to the event.

The averages of the old circuit, issued, would indicate the veteran Max Carey led after gardeners in assists and able to collect but 28our others collected 20 or Arnold Statz of the Cubs kill off 25 runners. Ross of the Giants and Bill north with the Braves got 22 assists apiece and Bernie Neis of the Dodgers had an even 20. On an average basis Neis led the list as he played in but 111 games while the others played in over 150. Incidentally Carey led the outfielders in putouts also, snagging 450 files, as against 350 grabbed off by the well known Mr. Cy Williams of the Phillies. John McGraw may not try to raise his own ball players but it must be said that he gives the youngsters the once over quite thoroughly and grabs off a star in the short-pant stage once in a while. Waite Hoyt is the most shining example of McGraw's keen eye. Tawn signed Waite when the kid was 15. Frank Frisch was still college at Fordham when McGraw saw him a great infielder and grabbed him. Travis Jackson sensation of the league at short and third last season, was but he when the Giant leader found him. And now McGraw will give Frickrick Lindstrom, a 16-year-old youth, a tryout next spring. Larkin, given a chance with Roger Bresnahan's Toledo Mudhens, staged the American Ass'n with his infielding. Jealous of this same Argentine has won in the swing ring through the medium of Lu Pirpo's shaggy head of hair and his wild swings which almost sent Jack Dempsey to the back seat.

AMEND AUTO TAX WASHINGTON, April 29.—The senate agreed this afternoon to amend the revenue bill so as to tax pleasure automobiles and motorcycles 5 per cent and trucks and auto wagons 3 per cent. What Southern California Needs So. Calif. needs to recognize the power for good its transportation.

"Fighting Coward" At California "The Fighting Coward," produced by the man who made "The Covered Wagon." James Cruze, and featuring Ernest Torrence, COSTLY OIL FIRE IN TAFT DISTRICT LOS ANGELES, April 29.—Altho fire at the General Petrolium Co. plant at Taft had spread to two 3700-barrel tanks today and 120,000 barrels of oil in other reservoirs in the danger zone were expected to be destroyed before flames are extinguished. What Southern California Needs So, Calif. needs to recognize the power for good its transportation lines may be in promoting the prosperity of not only this section, but the state at large. Travelling thro the state one recognizes the dependence which is placed on not only the steam and electric railways, but the motor transport as well. The rolling stock of the railways was never in better condition. That cannot be said of the electric lines which find buses are stiff contenders for business. But the latter are convenient and comfortable, as well as economical. They are filling a big place in this world of speed and should be recognized as a legitimate factor. The investment by the So. Pac., Santa Fe, U. P. and other railroads is almost beyond the comprehension of the ordinary financier. And the development which is ahead of them will involve many more millions of dollars. California has but only started to progress. It is just emerging from the "wild and wooly". Imagine if you can the population of New York state and Massachusetts concentrated here and you have a picture of what this state is destined to be. Co-operation with the railroads in their enterprises is essential to the rapid upbuilding of the Pacific empire. No stone should be placed in their path for selfish reasons. The same holds true with electric lines and motor stages. California will be as great as people will permit themselves to think. Publicity for the potentialities of this Pacific Empire is one of the most essential needs in Sou. Calif. today. The work of the All Year Round club, as well as The Californiaians, Inc., in the northern part of the state and the San Diego California club in the south, not to mention the many local groups, are doing splendid work. However, they need the support of the prideful people who profit most by these associations' activities. When there are appeals made by these local chambers of commerce, encouragement should be lending more than moral support. It is cash that talks—money that brings the residents of the east to California to invest, to "Fighting Coward" At California "The Fighting Coward," produced by the man who made "The Covered Wagon." James Cruze, and featuring Ernest Torrence, Mary Astor, Noah Beery, Phyllis Haver and Cullen Landis, was shown for the first time at the California theatre this afternoon. It's a story of a man and a young fellow who bluff everyone along the Mississippi, the idea being to convince folk that the youngster is about the most dangerous gun-fighter thereabouts. And the whole thing is just one long thrill. Cruze has established himself a reputation of being one director today who can take a screen story, in this case an adaptation by Walter Woods of the stage play, "Magnolia," by Booth Tarkington," and get out of it every possible element of humor. "The Covered Wagon," a tense western drama, as produced by Cruze had some of the finest comedy touches of anything ever made. And he's done even more with "The Fighting Coward." You'll get a good laugh out of the scene where one of the characters engages another in a gambling game and relieves him of his clothes. The comedy, "Done in Oil," proved to be a knockout! Musical accompaniment by Arch B. Fritz and a short reel subject completed a very interesting program.

Monthly payments to us gives California, Inc. in the northern part of the state and the San Diego California club in the south, not to mention the many local groups, are doing splendid work. However, they need the support of the prideful people who profit most by these associations' activities. When there are appeals made by those local chambers of commerce, encouragement should be lending more than moral support. It is cash that talks—mony that brings the residents of the coast to California to invest, to build up our resources. At the present time there is a determined effort on the part of many eastern cities to "hammer" the southland. They leap at the opportunity to say something derivative to this land of sunshine and flowers. They even take advantage of our hospitality to come here and "look only for the purpose of criticism." Perhaps some of this criticism is merited, yet it appears that it is a matter of envy. Also, it is a lack of information. What is necessary now is for California to be magnanimous, to spend its money to sell the world just what the facts are! That's all. Clean baseball. Los Angeles and Vernon have produced two good baseball teams this season with a personnel of clean men and fast players. Given the support of So. Calif., that they deserve, there is no reason why the pennant for 1924 should not be hung in the Southland. Up to the present point in the season, all of the Pacific Coast League has been going better than usual. Some of them are doing better now than they did all of last year. All of the teams have been given thorough overhauling, and before the end of the season box office receipts will prove to the managers and baseball leaders that the reconditioning was worth while. Baseball is good for the soul. It is good for the health. It develops the keen sense of sportmanship that distinguishes the real American But the sport must be kept clean and it must be represented by clean men if it is to assume the position it deserves. So. Calif., now has two good teams. Let us show our appreciation of their efforts.
