FIRPO AND WILLS CLASH SEPT. 11 NEW YORK, July 28—Luis Firpo and Harry Willa will clash on Thursday evening, September 11, at Boyles' Thirty Acres, Jersey City, under plans being completed by Promoter Tex Rickard. The winner will be matched with Jack Dempsey. The fight, originally scheduled for Sept. 5, was postponed so that the Prince of Wales might attend, Rickard announced. The prince is to be a spectator at the international polo matches at Meadowbrook, which will end Sept. 10. Rickard's announcement followed a conference with Firpo and a telephone conversation with Paddy Mullins and his Senegambian fighter, now in training at Southampton, L.I. Incidentally, Mullens told Rickard heavy wagers had been placed at Southampton with Wills the favorite at 4 to 5. Ringside seats at the bout will cost $25, Rickard said. This is the limit allowed by the New Jersey boxing law. Twenty thousand general admission tickets will be available at $2 and $3, with reserved seats at $5, $10, $15 and $29, the pruner announced. It was believed today that Firpo would train at White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga. The Argentine fighter will probably leave for Saratoga in a few days, with several sparring partners.

SCREEN MEDIUM OF CHARACTERIZATION Lovers of the speaking stage often proclaim that the motion picture cannot draw the fine distinctions in meaning, nor tell the greatest truths of life, because of the lack of speech. It remained for Universal to actually disprove the idea. It is done in "A Chapter in Her Life," the new Universal feature to be shown at the United theatre, commencing Thursday. "A Chaper in Her Life" is not spectacular but its grip on the heart-strings is said to be powerful. It is a simple story of the love of a little child. There are two dominating characters. The story is a screen version of Clara Louise Burnham's novel, "Jewel." It tells of a child, brot up with loving care and then suddenly turned into an environment of hate and distrust. Claude Gillingwater plays the role of the little heroine's grandfather, whose only conception of happiness is something that his riches, strangely enough have failed to buy. Little Jane Mercer, newest "fliud" among child actresses, plays the title role of Jewel. The cast is notable, including Jacqueline Gadsden, Frances Raymond, Robert Fraster, Eva Thatcher, Ralph Yearley, Fred Thomson and Beth Rayon. REPORTED BOHNE TO BOSS PORTLAND SAN FRANCISCO, July 28.—A rumor was current in baseball circles here this afternoon that Sammy Bohne, Cincinnati shortstop, may succeed William Kenworthy as manager of the Portland baseball club. It was said this move depended on his securing a release from the Reds. Bohne, according to baseball men, owners an interest in the Portland club, having gone in with Kenworthy when the latter bot an interest. One baseball man who declined it would materialize until next season. Other reports were to the effect Kenworthy might announce his retirement upon the arrival of the team in Portland tomorrow. Reports were recently circulated that Kenworthy would retire, but were denied at the time by President Klepper of the Portland club.

HARTRANFT GIVES-STAND ON ISSUES With the closing of nominations for the state assembly, the voters of this county find before them three men seeking the Republican nomination for assemblyman at the primary election, August 28. The first man to file nomination papers was S. C. Hartranft of the Fullderton-Annaheim district. He was followed by C. D. Ball of Santa Ana, incumbent; and the final filing was made by W. B. Allen of Anahiem. Opening what we intend to make a vigorous campaign for the nomination, Mr. Hartranft today declared his belief that it is his duty as a candidate to lay before the Republican voters of the county the things he stands for and hopes to accomplish in the service of the county. "I stand first and foremost," said Mr. Hartranft, "for the maintenance and enforcement of those laws, federal and state, which tend to protect the homes of California and make for conditions in which we may guild our children in clean and upright living. I believe in the Wright Act and the Vehicle Act." "I believe in a business like administration of our state and national governments, such an administration as is being given this state by Governor Richardson and the nation by President Coolidge. I believe in economy in government to the end that the burden of taxes may be lightened." "There are other problems more local in character, in which I am deeply interested and to which I propose to devote my best efforts if I am chosen to represent this county in the legislature." "I believe there should be a just reapportionment of the political districts of California to the end that such a project should command the aid and co-operation of the state. I shall work for the cooperation of the state and the counties interested in the basin." SARGUM PROOUTINGS Orlando Miller has taken up boxing and is contemplating going after Jack Dempsey's crown. Miller has the strength and the action that should come into a K.O. punch, but he will find a big handicap in his short reach. The "Little Giant" seems to be in earnest about his boxing. He says that he is not taking on weight as he expected and he finds himself too light for the heavyweights and heavy for the lightheavies. He is going to take Roy on again if Roy can get into shape. Miller does not hanker after a chance at the Zbyasko handlecap. The Pole is so much heavier than the Brea lad that a match between two would look like a go between a hummingbird and a bar owl. Miller is not in favor of a return with Pete Sour, as he thinks he demonstrated his ability over Pete once and that another match would not draw. If Pete would prove himself in shape I believe another match would draw. Pete is right up with Santel when in shape and he has been working to get back into condition. There is to be another big wrestling card in Los Angeles next Wednesday evening. Zbyaszko is again head-lining the show, this time taking on a giant Russian Demitry Martinoff. This Russian baby weight 275 pounds when dressed in his best smile or when he is perfectly raw. "Toots" Mondt will be opposed by Jack Anderson, champion of the British Isles. Toots made a big hit in the angel city the other evening when he stayed 75 minutes with Zbyaszko, not only stayed the 75 minutes, but had the best of the argument. RESENT ATTACHED ON CONGRESS Charging that plea of San Diego of the power into after Congr. Phillips because of his Boulder Dam present republican scored the resolution passed by President Club, calmed, reflected. Said this report: "Friends of C.D.

Ogden won his eighth game since joining the senators. The Browns beat the Red Sox, 6 to 4. It was Danforth's twelfth victory of the season. Virgil Barnes held the Cardinals safe and the Giants won 6 to 4, increasing their lead to seven games, while the Cubs were idle. Dazzy Vance pitched Brooklyn to a 5 to 1 victory over Cincinnati for his sixteenth win of the season, but the Reds took the second game of a double-headed, 9 to 1. The other National league clubs were idle.

Reid of Anaheim C. of C spoke enthusiastically today of the benefits received from the Western School of Commercial Secretaries at Stanford University, from which he returned last night. The school is the only one west of Chicago. President Harry D. Riley attended one day last week. The State Assn.of Commercial Secretaries held their annual convention Saturday, at the close of the school, with Henry M. Robinson of Los Angeles, member of the Dawes Reparations Commission, one of the speakers. The banker spoke on the influence of the C. of C. on the community. Secretary Davis of the commission, a professor at Stanford, also spoke. Davis said, among other things, that the United States must acknowledge that there are other countries just as capable and honest as it is. Georgeous Carpentier is still howling over the Tunnel fight. He now claims that the foul blow was struck by Tunney's knee. The pictures of the fight do not show any such blow. Tunney says that the blow was an upercut that was perfectly fair. The Frenchman and his manager want another match. Tunney had the better of the argument long before the questionable blow was landed. Carp wants to add to his bankroll and another match would do that little thing. Carp is to box Jimmy Slattery in Buffalo Aug. 4th. The Angels received good news Saturday. Oscar Grimes entrained for Los Angeles and is due to arrive today. He informed the Angel management that he was in the best of condition and would be ready to step in and take care of the first basing tomorrow. Grimes will add mightily to the Angels offense for he is a sweet hitter. Willie Hoppi was successful in obtaining an interlocutory decree of divorce from Mrs. Alice Hoppe in New York last week. Willie will have the custody of the two children. Mrs. Hoppe bitterly opposed the proceedings but lost out to her billard king husband. Bill Kenworthy is having a lot of trouble trying to convince the sport scribes and the public that he is going to remain the boss of the Beavers. Bill was banished from the Coast杯 last year and Jimmy Middleton took the Beavers in charge and made a creditable showing with them. In fact, he built up a team that looked to be in the running for a pennant. When the ban was lifted on Kenworthy , a part owner in the Portland club, he was given the management at the beginning of this season. With a next Wednesday evening, Zbyszko is again head-lining the show, this time taking on a giant Russian Martinoff. This Russian baby weight 275 pounds when dressed in his best smile or when he is perfectly raw. "Toots" Mondt will be opposed by Jack Anderson, champion of the British Isles. Toots made a big hit in the angel city the other evening when he stayed 75 minutes with Zbyszko, not only stayed the 75 minutes, but had the best of the argument. Ed "Strangler" Lewis is in Los Angeles looking over the wrestling game with a view of risking his crown either with Mondt or Zbyszko, or with both. The game has been given a good start and Lewis might be able to draw some real money. AMERICAN LEAGUE W.L.Pet.

The patient is more cheerful. DARING ROBBERY CHICAGO, July 28—A daring daylight robbery, reminiscent of frontier days, was staged in the lobby of the fashionable Hayes hotel here this afternoon by six bandits who obtained approximately $3000. Five made good their escape. As the robbers were leaving, Officer James Murphy of the stockyard station, chased them in his automobile, recovered the money and captured one of them. COMPLETE RECORD WASHINGTON, July 28—The record before the U.S. supreme court of Isaac Wolfzang of Los Angeles, who is seeking a stay of his sentence for murder, was completed today by the air mall. W. D. Stanbury, clerk of the court, received the record via airplane from the California supreme court. The State Assn. of Commercial Secretaries held their annual convention Saturday, at the close of the school, with Henry M. Robinson of Los Angeles, member of the Dawes Reparations Commission, one of the speakers. The banker spoke on the influence of the C. of C. on the community. Secretary Davis of the commission, a professor at Stanford, also spoke. Davis said, among other things, that the United States must acknowledge that there are other countries just as capable and honest as it is. Among the chief lecturers at the school were Dr. John Ihler and Dr. Snow, the former in charge of the city building department, both of the U.S. C. of C. and Charles Cheney of Redondo, noted city planner, each of whom gave an hour and one-half daily. Dean Cottrell of the political science department of the university also spoke. SEE FATHER AFTER 10-YEAR SEPARATION "It's a fine thing to step out into your own back yard and pick some fruit," says August Kuehn Jr., who with his sister, Catherine, is here to visit their father, local tailor, whom they haven't seen for 10 years. It’s also a fine thing to catch a mess of six albacore, weighing from 20 to 25 pounds each, Kuehn might have added, the way the Anahelmer, his two children and two friends did yesterday off one of the beaches, when they put out in a power boat. The younger Kuehn is manager of the supply department of the American Railway Express in the automobile city. Asked about industrial conditions there, he admitted that the factories were not enjoying the crest of activity that prevailed in 1923, although six months has been a banner period. Three weeks ago the largest of the factories were operating on a two-shift four-day basis, compared with three shifts and seven days last year. An interesting phase of Kuehn’s work as purchaser of supplies, in cold weather, is that of securing alcohol in 20-barrel lots to mix with the water in radiators of the express company’s big fleet of trucks to prevent freezing. He will leave Anaheim on his return tomorrow morning. His sister will remain for awhile. Bill Kenworthy is having a lot of trouble trying to convince the sport scribes and the public that no one is going to remain the boss of the Beavers. Bill was banished from the Coast loop last year and Jimmy Middleton took the Beavers in charge and made a creditable showing with them. In fact, he built up a team that looked to be in the running for a pennant. When the ban was lifted on Kenworthy, a part owner in the Portland club, he was given the management at the beginning of this season. With a club all in good running order, things looked rosy for Kopeca, but for some reason Bill has never got the team on a winning stride with the exception of one week’s play against San Francisco, when it took 7 out of 8 games. The scribes have been trying to get Billy’s scalp for several weeks, but so far have not been able to nail it. The latest report is that Middleton is to be recalled from the management of the Fort Worth team and will take over the destinies of the Beavers-Kenworthy denies this. While this guest is going on the Beavers are being knocked about by every team in the league, and are now resting securely in last place. The team is worthy of the first division, and for some reason is not performing up to its real ability. MIND LOST AFTER LEAP FROM MOTOR LOS ANGELES, July 28—With her mind almost a total blank as the result of a fractured skull received according to police, when she leaped from a speeding automobile, Hazel McDuell, 20, lies in a hospital here in a state of partial amnesia. Frank McGregor is held by police, accused of driving the car from which she took her plunge. The girl has been unable to explain how she received her injuries.

JULY 28, 1924 RESENT ATTACK ON CONGRESSMAN Charging that Edward P. Sample of San Diego is a candidate of the power interests which are after Cong. Phil D. Swing's scalp because of his advocacy of the Boulder Dam project, a prominent republican today sharply scored the resolution of endorsement passed by the Coolidge-for-President Club, which, it is claimed, reflects upon Swing. Said this republican: "Friends of Congressman Phil D. Swing in Anaheim indignantly resent what they declare was an unfair resolution of endorsement passed by the Anaheim Coolidge club, of which J. S. Howard is president, declaring its preference for the candidacy of Edward P. Sample. Swing's friends say they have no reason for objecting to the activity of any person or organization when that objection is founded on facts. They say that any objection to Congressman Swing of the ground that he is not a sound and upstanding Republican is unjust and unfair. They point out that his platform, given to every newspaper in his district, immediately on his return from Washington, has the following: "I will support the Republican ticket and Republican policies. I shall unreservedly support Calvin Coolidge, nominee of the Republican party, for president, and the entire Republican ticket. I shall co-operate with the President and my party in congress on all fundamental Republican policies." "They also point to the strong letter of endorsement given to Swing by C. C. Teague, president of the Calif. Fruit Grower's Exchange and president of the Calif. Walnut Growers' Asn, Teague was one of the foremost Coolidge leaders of the state in the Coolidge-Johnson contest, and profit-taking in stocks today" NEW YORK July 28—Strength and activity in individual stocks, overshadowed the occasional flurry in the general list which resulted from profit-taking and short selling on the stock exchange today. It was the general feeling in the speculative district, prior to the opening of the market today, that stock prices were due for a slight reaction following the almost uninterrupted advance of the past few weeks. But week end orders from outside points did not bear out this contention, as the bulk of orders in commission houses were for buying rather than selling stocks. Ready absorption of selling orders, even for the oil stocks, showed that the market was not ready for the expected decline. Mercantile retail conditions in the country were reported quite favorably by the head of one of the country's largest establishments and industrial reports uniformly pointed ww to preparation for large activity this fall. Unemployment had increased a little of late, but there is no distress in any section of the country. Grain and cotton markets present a great contrast to other years, presenting anything but a mid-summer appearance. Oil stocks were sold in the early trading on reports of further price cuts in crfude oil by Magnolia, Prairie, Sinclair and Texas Company. Prices generally declined, but losses were comparatively small, and in some cases were made up in the afternoon. Standard Oil stocks, both on the curb and the listed market, did not share the reactionary tendency of the independent company shares. American Can continued the strong lead which has charac terised this stock in more than a week adding nearly two points port Calvin Coolidge, nominee of the Republican party, for president, and the entire Republican ticket. I shall co-operate with the President and my party in congress on all fundamental Republican policies. "They also point to the strong letter of endorsement given to Swing by C. C. Teague, president of the Calif. Fruit Grower's Exchange and president of the Calif. Walnut Growers' Assn. Teague was one of the foremost Coolidge leaders of the state in the Coolidge Johnson contest, and went to Cleveland as a Coolidge delegate. On June 10 he wrote to Swing a letter from which the following paragraphs are taken: "I have always remembered with grateful appreciation the work that you did in securing the proper consideration of the California products in the framing of the last tariff bill. Notwithstanding the statements of the democrats to the contrary, the tariff is still an important issue in politics. It is of particular interest in California, situated as we are some 3,000 miles from market, and in these days of low prices for California's agricultural crops, there has never been a time when a proper and reasonable tariff on our products has been of more importance. "I just want you to know that I feel that the people of your district can make no mistake in returning you to Congress, because I know from the connections you have made that you are in position to do valuable service for the state." "A letter that Swing's Anaheim supporters say clinches the argument, and knocks the progs out from under Judge Howard's resolution, is from Cong. Albert H. Vestal, republican whip of the house," wrote Congressman Vestal to the editor of the Riverside Enterprise. This letter is from the party's leader in the lower house of congress, and it is declared, is authoritative from party headquarters at Washington: "'As Republican whip of the house,' wrote Congressman Vestal, 'it was my duty to try to effect a compromise on the rate provisions of the bill (referring to the tax reduction bill) to insure its passage and defeat the Garner plan.
