After the Chicago games the Yankees meet the Browns, Tigers and Indians, while Washington following the Cleveland game will play Detroit, St. Louis and Chicago.

Council, American Legion, and the Legion Auxiliary, at a joint meeting held in Balboa. The following resolution was voted: WHEREAS, the Kiwanis Club of Anaheim, California, did on the 5th day of July, 1924, pass and adopt the following Resolution: "Mr. President. While we wish to assure you of your fullest loyalty to the republic and all of its great interests, we wish most respectfully to call to your attention what seems to us to be the unwidom of making September 12th a mobilization day with various military celebrations and war-like gestures. We believe that the need of the world now is a will to peace and that nothing should be done to inflame the passions of our own people or to arouse the fears and suspicions of other nations. Hence, we hope that you may use your great power to prevent the consummation of this plan now being formulated by the War Department for that date;" and WHEREAS, Anaheim Post No. 72, of the American Legion, Department of California, did on the 15th day of July, 1924, pass and adopt the following Resolution: WHEREAS, The war department of the United States of America has designated Sept. 12, 1924, as a day of test mobilization for the fighting forces, active and inactive, of our country and. WHEREAS, Our government has spent considerable money and time for the perfection of a vast army of reserve men and industries in full accord with the trend of the general principle of international disarmament, and. WHEREAS, Certain organizations in our country thru ignorance, an extreme policy of pacifism or a dewright desire to betray our nation (among this class being the Anaheim Kiwanis club as evidenced by a resolution recently adopted by that club) have insidiously attempted to frustrate the plans of our war department by resolutions, letters propaganda and the like in an attempt to convince our president that the great mass of American people are against such action on the part of the war department and urging him to block such a policy. Now, therefore, be it resolved by Anaheim Post No. 72 American Legion, department of California, that we heartily favor the action taken by the war department in Baseball Today AMERICAN LEAGUE Boston ...020 110 000-4 10 0 St. Louis ...000 010 001-2 10 0 Ehmke, Fullerton and O'Neill, Plainieh; Wingard and Severeld.

CHAMPION ATHLETE AT UNITED THEATER Fred Thomson, one of the greatest "stunt men," on the screen is a popular player of western roles. He has come to the front with a rush and both he and Silver King, his horse, are loved by millions of fans. Thomson is young and handsome and possesses a strong and manly figure. He is pronounced by man photoplay critics as the best looking western screen star before the public today. With his forceful personality he has ingratiated himself into the hearts of all who know him, on the screen and off. A remarkable display of horsemanship is made by Thomson in his latest picture, "The Silent Stranger, at the United Theater Sunday and Monday. His feat of stopping a team of runaway horses by first making a flying mount and then riding them Roman style, will be remembered for many a day by movie fans. A big attraction on this program will be Hal Roach's little rascals, "Our Gang" in their latest comedy, "Tire Trouble." These little youngsters bring joy and pleasure to all who see them and it is impossible to witness one of their comedies and go away feeling blue. Advance notices proclaim this one to be a roar of fun and laughter from start to finish. WHEAT CROP SHORT 46,000,000 BUSHELS WASHINGTON, July 26...

At Lake Tahoe we found a beautiful 9 hole course with grass fairways and sand greens and enjoyed several rounds with Henry Hanson who is in charge of the course. Henry was formerly with the Southern California Athletic and Country Club at Lake Elsinor so we considered him home folk. At Brockway, on the Nevada line at the north end of the lake we discovered one of the most beautiful grass courses we have ever seen, under construction by John Duncan Dunn. It is an 18-hole course in the edge of the lake with giant pines and steep mountains completely surrounding it. This magnificent course will be ready for play next summer. We saw a number of other courses in the north, but our time was limited and prevented us stopping to play. Our society editor considers losing golf balls an extravagant waste, and during our absence set her ingenuity to work to correct this evil. Upon opening our desk Monday morning we found her solution of this vexing problem—a new dimpled ball (soft rubber) with a long rubber string attached. She failed to protect her brainchild with "Pat. Apld. For." So we let you all in on it. Niva Smithy! Orange County Public Course Smiling Joe Szarfinski and his male assistant Handsome Mr. Brubaker have been industriously improving Orange County's oldest links and have increased the popularity of this unique course tremendously. The entire course is now in better condition than it has been in years and they have only started. The club house has blossomed out with a new red roof, the fairways have been cleaned and new direction posts installed, several new tees for the ladies are under construction and the approaches to the greens smoothed. Light lunches and refreshments are obtainable at the clubhouse and a full line of golf supplies for sale at the shop. The state highway engineers have placed the stakes for the new highway thru the property and construction work is to begin at once. This will necessitate moving No. 1 green and No. 2 tee which Szarfinski expects to accomplish without interruption to play, and a picnic grounds and auto parking space will be con- half finished, Robinson is in for a hard run: The handicaps have just been revised and most of the members find themselves with new handicaps.

SARGUM PROUTINGS Georgeous Carpentier put up a game but losing fight against Gene Tunney. The Frenchman made a fight of the bout in some spots, but he is not as young as he once was. By Bill Cottrell Bob Jensen, 14-year-old ming star, has risen to far his speed in the many events which he has qualified. His freshman in high school and season acted as manager as a member of the varsity ming team which captured his ange-co title.

Robinson is leading with a net 65, gross 85, but as play for the trophy prize a $55 set of clubs and hooded bag, put up by the Axelson Machine Co., is only new tees for the ladies are under construction and the approaches to the greens smoothed. Light lunches and refreshments are obtainable at the clubhouse and a full line of golf supplies for sale at the shop. The state highway engineers have placed the stakes for the new highway thru the property and construction work is to begin at once. This will necessitate moving No. 1 green and No. 2 tee which Sxarffinski expects to accomplish without interruption to play, and a picnic grounds and auto parking space will be constructed on the ground at present occupied by No. 1 green. Fairway It seemed good to find the cups on the greens again at Fairway. The rest and careful nursing had produced a beautiful coat of grass. Dr. Crawford, chairman of the greens committee, and professional Jack Armstrong are quite proud of their work in bringing the greens to near perfection. Armstrong is proving himself as good a trapper as he is golfer, and he has good taste. He displayed a fat young 'possum whose curiosity led him into a trap baited with a new golf ball. This is the second 'possum Armstrong has bagged in the past few weeks. Jack smiles like a Georgia darkie at the mention of 'possum. Armstrong played in the Southern California Open Championship at the Los Angeles Country Club this week and got off to a whiz bang start with an eagle and two birdles, but blew up and finished well down in the list. However, Jack is not discouraged. Anaheim-Orange championship qualifying rounds start at Fairway July 26-27 and promises to bring out some keen competition. After this dispute is settled a team is to be selected to play teams from other Orange County Clubs. Georgeous Carpentier put up a game but losing fight against Gene Tunney. The Frenchman made a fight of the bout in some spots, but he is not as young as he once was, and is unable to stand up to punishment as of yore. His celebrated right that used to put his opponents away must be losing some of its sting for it landed flush several times without serious effect. Tunney on the other hand hurt every time he landed. He had the better of the fight all the way. He had the Frenchman down three times in the tenth, his best round. The fight ended in an unsatisfactory manner. Gene was pummeling the body late in the 14th and Carpentier claimed that he was struck low. The referee did not allow the claim. Carpentier did not get over this blow and came back for the fifteenth hardly able to stand. Gene refused to knock the game Frenchman out while in such a condition. After Carpentier had stumbled about the ring for 14 seconds of the final round unable to guard himself, the referee awarded the bout to Tunney on a technical knockout. Tunney had been in the lead all the way and would surely have won without the blow that was claimed foul, yet that blow takes away a lot of his glory even if it were not a foul. Luis Angel Firpo has fallen a victim of the purity squad. Luis was very attentive on the voyage from his home in South America to a young lady that had passport troubles with the officials at Elis Island. The Angel made the mistake of trying to pan her off as his secretary. The young lady failed to satisfy the officials that she could fill the requirements of such a position. Luis finally admitted that who was just a chance acquaintance. Abe Attell, once world'therweight champion, has caught in the muck. Abe once the hero, now he is ed as a down and outer, tributor of illicit booze, in words just plain 'boot-leaf'. Abe made enough money comfortably situated financially but alas and alack, his fi slipped through his fingers made it.

STOCK MARKET TREND HIGHER NEW YORK, July 26. Stock prices were generally inclined to higher levels in the short session of the stock market today and trading in railroad stocks continued at the brisk pace set by the previous sessions of the week. Sugar stocks were added to the list of active and buoyant specialties today as many stocks in that group carried forward the rallies which have been in progress for two or three days. Cuba Cane Sugare preferred sold up more than a point at 67% and slightly higher prices were recorded for American cet sugar, Punta Alegre and Hawaiian-American. American Sugar Refining common added fractionally to yesterday's gain. Chesapeake & Ohio led the rail stocks into a higher price level tho the volume of trading here was not as comparatively large as on the last two days. Rock Island pushed forward to within a fraction of its highest price for the year and corresponding strength was shown by Pittsburg and West Virginia, Lehigh Valley and Lackawanna. General Electric was the feature of the industrial group, its further rise of nearly 6 points to 254 being further reflection of the growing demand for this stock since rumors of recapitalization and stock dividends began to flood the speculative district a few months ago. Earnings of the company have been sufficient to attract an investment following, so he dividend rate of 8% gives less than 4%. Unsettlement continued in the oil industry is evidence by the further cuts in price of crude oil announced by the Magnolia Petroleum Co. today. Prices in the Mexia, Corsicana and Powell fields marked down 25c a barrel. Little effect was shown in the action of oil stocks, however, the stocks turning inactive rather than reactionary.

Mr. Firpo is be taught some lessons besides taking these days. A celebrity must be wise indeed to dodge the slip mongers. Abe Attell, once world's fearworthy champion, has been night in the muck. Abe was the hero, now he is brand as a down and outer, a disborator of illicit booze, in other words just plain "boot-leger." He made enough money to be comfortably situated financially, at alas and alack, his fortune hoped through his fingers as he months ago. Earnings of the company have been sufficient to attract an investment following, so he dividend rae of 8% gives less than 4%. Unsettlement continued in the oil industry is evidence by the further cut-in price of crude oil as announced by the Magnolia Petroleum Co. today.

GRAIN CONTINUES JUMPING CHICAGO, July 26—Grains continued their sharp upward movement throughout the short session today and closed phenomenally higher. Wheat was 3½ to 4% higher. Corn up % to 1%. Oats up % to 3%. News interest continued to center in Canada and the messages from there, although ameliorated in their bullish intensity by obviously conservative restraint, were sufficiently pessimistic concerning crop damage to frighten any incipient behrish tendency.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Johnny Leonard, Allentown, outpointed Willie Davis, Elizabeth, 10 rounds Darrow made his charge during a tedious two hour cross examination of detective Sergeant James J. Gortland, who had custody of young Leopold immediately after his arrest and who yesterday testified to some amazing conversations he had with the student. The part of Gortland's testimony that Darrow took violent exception to was not his quoting of young Leopold as saying he felt no sorrow for his little victim or the boy's family, but his quoting of the young slayer as saying that he "could plead not guilty before a jury and be hanged or plead guilty before a friendly judge and get life imprisonment." For two hours, Darrow questioned the police officer minutely about this. He made him produce his notes, made soon after the conversation took place. He made him read them and tell all about the little details of the conversation. And then, at the end he leveled his finger at the sergeant and barked: "Don't you know that this story of yours regarding a friendly-judge is pure fabrication, made for the purpose of intimidating this court?" "It is not," replied the officer. He testified that Leopold had made the observation to him in the state's attorney office, no one else being present at the time. He said he made a memorandum of it later because he knew he was going to be called on to testify in this trial. He produced sheafs of notes in all the conversations he had with Leopold while the young man was in his custody. Darrow seized them all and had them placed in the record as "defense exhibit No. 1." Justice Caverly was interested observer of this little passage at arms between the defense and the prosecution. His face changed expression. Darrow brought out in the course of his searching cross examination that the detective had not any mention of this particular conversation in the voluminous report he made to the chief of police, altho numerous other conversations Gortland had with the young slayer were reported in some detail.
