High priced railroad and oil stocks had their day in the stock market today. Speculative activity centered around these stocks was either professional in its origin or represented inside buying for powerful capitalists, many of whom have already turned from the insufficient supplies o the bond market to the stock market, where high grade dividend stocks yield higher returns. Notwithstanding the swift pace these stocks have been travelling in recent weeks, they were not to be deterred from reaching higher levels today. Central Railroad of New Jersey, up 14 points to a new high at 251, was the leader of the group, but Canadian Pacific, 145: Notwithstanding the swift pace these stocks have been travelling in recent works, they were not to be deterred from reaching higher levels today. Central Railroad of New Jersey, up 14 points to a new high at 251, was the leader of the group, but Canadian Pacific, 145; Union Pacific above 140; Delaware and Hudson at 132; New York Central in new high ground at 109; Pullman at 122; A.T. & S.P. at 106; Louisville & Nashville at 101; American Radiator at 137%; General Electric at 274; Illinois Central at 112, were no less impressive in their movements. With the exception of a few of the oil stocks, prices were higher at the opening. Irregular developments in the oil stocks followed the announcement of price cuts in crude oil and the passing of dividends by oil companies. Herebefore, the passing of dividends was confined almost exclusively to the independent oil concerns; but the omitting of stockholders' dividends by the Atlantic Refining Co. and the Standard Oil of Kansas, shows that even the strongly entrenched Standard Oil companies realize the necessity of conserving cash. Oil stocks were unsteady in the first period and considering the many adverse influences they have had, their market action is credible. Copper metal made a further advance to 13% a pound today and copper stocks again displayed a strong tone with Kennett, Utah and American Smelters leading a moderate advance. Sugar stocks were strong and fairly active, with Cuban companies receiving the most attention marketwise. Motors and accessories were sold and profit taking and equipments, after advance under the leadership of Pullman company, reacted to farmer price levels. Trading was slow in the fourth hour and confined in general to the speculative favorites sponsored by the pools. Railroad stocks practically monopolized the market in the last hour. Stock sales 559,500 shares; bends $12,672,000. "White Shadows," starring the popular screen artist, Betty Compson, comes to the United theatre Tuesday and Wednesday. It is a picture that will please all types of movie fans, as it not only has an interesting story, convincingly enacted by a capable, well-chosen cast, but it was superbly directed by Graham Sutts. WRESTLER FREE ON BAIL TODAY SAN DIEGO, Aug. 11. - Changed with disturbing the peace. For "Strangler" Lewis, heavyweight wrestling champion, was at liberty today on bail following his arrest yesterday near Nestor, a short distance this side of the Mexican border.

Molla B Mallory, six time national champion; Miss Mary K Browne of Santa Monica, the title holder in 1912, 1913 and 1914; and Miss Mayne McDonald of New York, were the only ones regarded as having a chance to displace the little Californian, the tenth national champion the sunkist state has furnished.

PLACENTIA WINS IN 11 INNINGS By Sargum Sprout It took 11 innings before the Placentia Merchants could score on the Tom Mix Wilcoats, but the cats were tamed all the way by the slants and speed balls of Young Boisserane and Herb Salveson. The man most responsible for the Merchants win was none other than Buss Callan. In the first inning the Cats filled the bases with two hits and a walk. Buss began to talk to Young Boisserane and caused the young pitcher to tighten up and retire the Cats on a double play and a forced out at the plate. In the second inning the Cats filled the bags with one out and Buss began to talk again and caused one Cat to strikeout and the other to pop fly. Young Boisserane settled down and pitched shutout ball for the next three innings. Herb Salveson relieved him at the beginning of the sixth. Herb got by the sixth easily but in the seventh the Cats got frisky again and filled the bags with one down. Buss told Herb how to do it and Herb struck out one Cat and caused another to fly out. The Cats made a strong bid again in the 30th when the first two up hit safely. Again Herb pitched to Puss and the side was retired without scoring. In the meantime Harry Jackson had the Merchants feeding out of his hand most of the time. The Merchants filled the bats once with one gore. They threatened again when the center fielder tripled with one down, but Jackson was equal to the occasion and kept them away from the plate. Jackson began to weaken in the seventh, and by the 10th he was so tired that he just lobbed the ball over. He was begging for relief so that the last of the 11th saw the third baseman trying to pitch. Phil Schrott, first up, worked the new pitcher for a...

I am more acquainted with the Southern California Club than the others, but they are all doing a wonderful work. Any where that a motor car goes in southern-California, the way is posted. In every town of any size there is a club representative that gives you information free gratis. Lately the Southern California Club has installed a fleet of patrol cars, whose duty is to be of service to the motor world. These cars are equipped with first aid kits for the injured in accidents, they are to aid in starting stalled cars and give towing service if necessary and give out maps and all kinds of information. With the present congestion of traffic our motorists would be greatly hampered without the motor club service. Fred Merkle, who is commonly known as "Bonehead" because he once failed to touch second base while circling the bases in a world series game and which cost his team the game, knows now how it feels to have a boner pulled on himself. Merkle is now the home run king of the Rochester team, the other day he hit what should have been his 19th homer; two mates were on the paths at the time of the hit and two were out, the runner at second base passed the third base runner and touched the plate first which automatically put the third base runner out and cost Merkle a home run and also lost the game 4 to 2. The newly crowned lightweight champion of the Coast had to do his derndest to retain his crown Friday night at Hollywood. Johnny Trambitus and Johnny Adams fought fiercely to a draw in the first round of their little match. The second and third went to the norterner, Adams' crown looked to be worth about thirty cents at the close of the third round but Johnny came back and displayed to the large gathering of fans just what champions are made of. In the fourth he was seven kinds of wild acts all turned loose at once. It was one of those novel finishes that had the fans white in the face. When it was all over Woodhill, believes that he is gaged to Molly, and refuses to erate Will Banion's (Kerrig) attentions to her. In the however, everything turns out the best, and the finest picture ever seen in Anaheim. The California Symphony chestra furnished splendid dots NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

When it was all over Adams was given the right to keep his championship. Babe Ruth landed his thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth homers Friday. He is still three behind his 1971 record at this date but he has been coming up rapidly and may equal or better his record of 59. The big boy is surely going some. Tyrus Raymond Cobb is a name that will hang up in the hall of fame for all time to come. Friday he ran his total of bases on hits in the majors up to 5,001. In his twenty years to date his batting average is .370,41 points above Hans Wagner's 21 years average. Cobb has made 3,590 hits and 1,899 runs. The Georgia Peach has faced the greatest pitchers of all time and while a few have bothered him for a time, he by painstaking study has been able to treat them all about alike. Cobb is slowing up a little but his think box is still working and his eye is just as keen and his nerve just as steady as of old. Cobb will add a number of extra bases to his record before the season is complete. Old Tris Speaker did a little stick work Friday, getting five hits out of five times up, three of which were doubles. Old Tris used to be knocking at the door of fame pretty often but the last two or three seasons he has not been in the lime light very often. Tris is not a has been by any means and gets his hits pretty oftentimes but he is not quite the flashy player of old.* His Indians defeated the Yanks Friday with Babe Ruth getting two home runs. Friday was a great day off the heavy hitters. Fourneir of the Dodgers had a little field meet all by himself. He not four hits out of four times up, a home run and novel by Emerson Hough, and lost none of the force and inest of the story. It is a love tie that is different. Many differences are encountered by Lois Wilson and Kerrigan because of fact that Alan Hale, as Woodhull, believes that he is gaged by Molly, and refuses to erate Will Banion's (Kerrigan) attentions to her. In the however, everything turns out best, and the finest movie picture ever seen in Anaheim a close. The California Symphony has chestra furnished splendid musical accompaniment to the feast and made a decided hit with audiences.

NINE KILLED IN COLORADO STORM DENVER, Aug. 1.—A tornado late yesterday tore thru the eastern part of Colorado, killing nine persons and injuring five, two of whom are expected to die, according to a telephone report early this morning. The storm cut a swath five and a half miles wide. These killed were seated around the dining table and the storm struck with such fury and suddenness that they had little chance to flee or make any effort to save their lives. Thurman, the scene of the storm, is 25 miles from a railroad.
