To complete this splendid program there is a comedy and Billy Sullivan in another of those race track romances "The Christmas Handicap," and also a Current event news. PHONE MISTAKE NO EXCUSE TO BE RUDE What does become of people's manners when they go to the telephone? CALIFORNIAN GRABS GOLE MEDAL DEL MONTE, Calif., Sept. 9.—Frank Godchaux, formerly of New Orleans, and now a member of the Filintridge Club, Los Angeles, is the medalist of the California amateur golf championship with a gross score for the thirty six holes of 78-72—150. Godchaux a recent recruit to the movies was rated seventh among American amateur golfers last year and since his residence in California has been reckoned one of the best golfers in the state and with the exception of Francis Brown, one of the longest drivers in the game. After his 78 at Pebble Beach yesterday, Godchaux tackled his second round at Del Monte with supreme confidence and played perfect golf. Last night he made several wagers that he would lead the field at Del Monte and won them all. A. Bullock Webster, Del Monte's star, trailed Godchaux by two strokes and led Dr. Paul Hunter, Los Angeles, third on the list of low scores, by three strokes. PROF. HURT AS AUTOS COLLIDE F. I. Fjeld, professor of business economics at the University of Colo., Boulder, Colo., was slightly injured and brot to an Anaheim hospital this morning about 11 o'clock, when the Chevrolet car in which he was sitting was struck by a Cadillac car driven by P. H. Krick of North Los Angeles-at. The Chevrolet was owned by Mrs. B. Anderson of Santa Ana and who was in the car at the time of the accident, but escaped injury, was parked by the roadside in front of the Baker home on Lincoln Ave about one mile west of town. Mr. Krick, who PHONE MISTAKE NO EXCUSE TO BE RUDE What does become of people's manners when they go to the telephone? Do people believe that there is something about invisibility of the object that makes rudeness permissible? If anyone came to your front door and rang the bell and asked to see Mrs. So-and-So, and you discovered that she was looking for number 42 Oak-st instead of number 52, you would doubtless tell her so graciously. Almost anyone would. But suppose you are called to the telephone and find that it's 168 ring 2 instead of 186 ring 2 that the caller wants. Do you always give her a perfectly courteous response? Or do you answer her request to know if Margaret is there by saying impatiently, "Margaret who? There isn't any Margaret here. You have the wrong number." Of course it's annoying to be called to the telephone when you are busy and to find that the call is not for you after all. But there surely is no justice in taking it out on the person who is also being annoyed by the mistake. You surely wouldn't do it if you were face to face with what person instead of merely curt to ear. I took up any receiver to call the other day and a voice said to me with unmistakable impatience and indignation, "I am waiting for a toll call on this line. I wish you would hang up!" "But why the indignation?" said I. "I had not means of knowing you had a toll call in when I took the receiver off!" "Well. I declare," said the voice. "Who said I was indignant?" Of course it's generally a case of misplaced irritation. We are indignant at the service and we blame the voice that happens to answer. But while that explains, it does not justify rudeness. If you are impatient with the service, presumably you should quartermaster. But before you do that, you bring two things to your attention. One is what a district manager told me about summer service. "We have such tremendous increase in phones in country districts in the summer," he said, "that it's almost impossible to handle that short time busy season as well as we would like." Sounda reasonable, doesn't it? The other is a paragraph from the little leaflet the publicity department of the telephone gets out. PROBE SHOWS WRECK CASA GRANDE, Arlz, Sept. 10. Probing charges of railway officials that the eastbound Sunset Limited of the Southern Pacific railroad was wrecked by bandits or vandals, the board of inquiry met here today to make its investigation of yesterdays wreck near Honn, Arlz, which claimed one life and bolt injury to several persons. J.T. Wilson, superintendent of the railway at Tucson, asserted today his investigation of the removal of bolts and spikes on the rails at the scene of the accident showed clearly the train had been wrecked with malicious intent. Whether the derailment was done by bandits, who planned to rob the train, or by mobues and vandals, has not been determined. TUCSON, Arlz, Sept. 10. As a result of the wreck of the Sunset Limited yesterday, a general roundup of hobbes and tramps was started along the railway's line in Arizona today. Scores of men were taken into custody and questioned. GOOD HEAT Firpo Knows A many-sided deal involving a total value of $37,500 has just been concluded by the Irvin Realty Co. The complicated deal ran like this: M. P. Getter, of Long Beach, owned 9½ acres of loganberries in Salem, Ore. This was sold to Mrs. Alice Burns, who wanted property in Fullerton, Mrs. Burns proposed an exchange with Joe Mennes for two bungalows at 415 West Amorige ave. Mennes did not want to go to Oregon, so it was up to Mr. Irvin to find someone who did. Mr. and Mrs. W. E.

BABBITT ON SCREEN AT CALIFORNIA America is made up of millions of "Babbitts." They are the backbone of this country; the practical schemers of commercial progress and civic development. But —in spite of their materialism, their souls crave the beauty and romance their lives have no place for. The home of a "Babbitt" is the middle-class home half our presidents, judges, artists and literati have come from, and it is no less a photoplay than the Warner Bros.' latest picture, "Babbitt," as adapted from the great Sinclair Lewis novel of the same name, that will be shown at the California Theatre Friday. Deservedly, the book "Babbitt" has been acclaimed the greatest American novel, depleting, as it does, the life of Geo. P. Babbitt, his home, his family circle, his business and his friends, which is typical of the great army of Americans that make the wheels go round in this tremendous country of ours. Against a background of days that follow each other in a gray procession of drab, petty routine, Geo. N. Babbitt finds his wife and family a constant source of irrita- The Prince of Wales is managing to stay on his horse on his American visit. He is shown "ridin' hard and shootin' straight" in an informal polo game on Long Island. Tagging All Bases The Yankees made hay while the sun was not shining for Washington, and gained half a game on the Senators by nosing out the Red Sox in the ninth, 5 to 4. A long explosion was heard in St. Louis as the Pirates flirted sadly, the Cardinals taking two games, to 4 and 6 to 4. The Tigers stretched their winning streak to seven by trimming the White Sox 7 to 3. The Cubs crawled a game closer to the first division, defeating the Reds 5 to 4 on O'Farrell's homer. BERKELEY GIRL TO SEMI-FINAL PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.—Miss Helen Jacobs, Berkeley, advanced to the semi-final round of the girls' national singles championship at the Philadelphia Cricket club today by defeating Miss Betty Hillary of the home club, 6-2, 6-1. Miss Jacobs will meet Miss Genevieve Fox, Southampton, who defeated Miss Marion S. Wicke, Newport, 6-2, 6-4. Miss Helen Francis of Orange, N. J., also advanced to the semifinal round by defeating Miss Polly Palfrey, Boston, 6-2, 6-2. GOOD HEAVY MUST HAVE GOOD LEED Firpo Knows It, So Educate! His For Harry Will Deservedly, the book "Babbitt" has been acclaimed the greatest American novel, depleting, as it does, the life of Geo. F. Babbitt, his home, his family circle, his business and his friends, which is typical of the great army of Americans that make the wheels go round in this tremendous country of ours. Against a background of days that follow each other in a gray precession of drab, petty routine, Geo. F. Babbitt finds his wife and family a constant source of irritation, and his life wearying burden that threatens to kill his soul. The role of "Babbitt," as portrayed by Willard Louis on the screen, is a living picture of the problem common to all of us. Has romance a place in our lives? Babbitt is a hustling, prosperous real estate broker and a worthy citizen of Zenith, Ohio. A dutiful husband and father, he chafes under the ever-growing din of continuous quarrel and recrimination in his home, and longs to be free to taste the joys he dreams of in his heart. One important fact that promises a picture of unusual merit is that Harry Beaumont, who directed the first Sinclair Lewis novel, "Main Street," for Warner Bros., has also been greater-in-chief for "Babbitt," and his summing up of this newest Classic of the Screen is very interesting. In addition to Willard Louis, Mary Alden and Carmel Myers, popular screen favorites, the cast embraces such names as Raymond McKee, Maxine Elliott Hicks, Robert Randell, Cissy Fitzgerald, Gertrude Olmsted, Dale Fuller, and others. The book "Babbitt" was adapted to the screen by Dorothy Farnum, while David Abel did his usual fine work turning the camera-crank. A Buster Keaton Comedy, "The Love Nest" and International News completes the program. New patients at the Anaheim sanitarium today includes Mrs. E. M. Johnson, Fullerton; Miss Elizabeth McClure, Santa Ana; and Mrs. V. Myers, Big Bear. Whatever other honors in the sport world France may capture before the season ends the victor of Jean Borota in the Brftish opn golf tourney at Wimbledon won stand out as one of the year high-spots for the French nation. Boroto's victory was the first ever scored by a Frenchman in the Wimbledon meets, the winner of which is acknowledged the world's champion. Who will finally stop Bill Tilden? When the lengthy star vanquished Little Bill Johnston in the national tennis finals the other day in three straight and decisive heats the former won fifth straight national champion. Johnston had no excuses to offer for the defeat. He needed none. Experts agreed that he was in form—was the best of the list entered in the scramble for Tilden's title. But Johnston's best was not enough to threaten Tilden's reign. "Big Bill" with exasperating coolness and precision, whipped Little Bill all over the court Johnson's comparatively diminutive size wasn't to blame. Tilden simply played the ball with the cunning of the master strategist he is. From the time Johnston served or returned Tilden's hit was on the defensive. One may well ask "Who will halt Tilden?" There looms but one man in the game today who stands a chance of besting Big Bill at the net. That man is Gerald Patterson giant Australian. He has some attributes necessary to the man who will finally halt Bill. These are a powerful physique, which will carry him at the heart-breaking pace Tilden sets, and the bullet speed to his driving and cross-court play. These two giants are to meet in the Davis cup matches. Tilden will turn Patterson back. As Tilden stands today his match doesn't live. Patterson may give an indication, however, of what the future may hold for Tilden. The Antipodean star may force Tilden to a fast pace and thereby give the public the first glimpse it has had this year of Tilden in earnest. Tilden corrupted and Tilden BY NORMAN E. BROWN D, the only man who ever knocked back Dempsey in to Seat 4. Row B, relationship battle, is prepping himself battle which he hopes will carry him meeting with Dempsey. Meets Harry Wills, perennial black Sept. 11. Lines from Firpo's camp speak re-Firpo's efforts to perfect his left "info" is the most interesting bit sees from either camp. It indicates he has finally made Firpo realize the duty of owning a good left hand. History of heavyweight fighting has a man must have a good left to get on L. Sullivan is the exception that rule. Sullivan fought his way to the by with a righthand and haymaker, Jim Corbett. Gentleman Jim carr the greatest defts that has ever been heavyweight jaw or tummy. Corbett "lefted" Sullivan to death. Himself met his doom when Bob shot a left to his solar plexus, are "old boys" still alive who re-show Jim Jeffries could deliver a stinging left while using his famous crouch. He caught "Curly Bob" Fitzsimmons on the chin with that left and knocked Fitz into the ex-champion class. Jack Johnson knew the value of a left. He tormented the dazed Jeffries mercilessly with it at Reno when the ex-champion tried in vain bring the heavyweight title back to the white race. Willard had been taught to use his left when he met the dissipated Johnson at Havana. He rocked Johnson with it for 23 rounds. After Dempsey had crushed his face in with a murderous left at Toledo and had sunk him to the canvas like a stuck cow Willard arose and almost turned the tide of battle with two nerve-deadening lefts to Dempsey's jaw. Dempsey turned the tide of battle in that free-for-all with Firpo by landing a left hook after Firpo had knocked the champion down and out of the ring. Dempsey's critics will tell you that the champ has not perfected his left to the extent Corbett, Fitz, Jeffries and the other old stars used it. And it is with the knowledge of Dempsey's failure to make the best of his left that Firpo plays him a post graduate course at he prepares for Willa. These two giants are to meet in the Davis cup matches. Tilden will turn Patterson back. As Tilden stands today his match doesn't live. Patterson may give an indication, however, of what the future may hold for Tilden. The Antipodean star may force Tilden to a fast pace and thereby give the public the first glimpse it has had this year of Tilden in earnest. Tilden cornered, and Tilden with his throne in danger. And I want to be on hand when the two meet. "How that Hornaby has been hitting!" is the exclamation you hear these days while the fans are perusing the box score. Yes, how he has been hitting. Some idea of the way he has been ringing up base hits can be gleaned from the statement that should he go hitless the rest of the season, over a span of some 30 games, he would wind up the year with a batting average of something like .325 or .330. Look that one over. That means that should he go to the plate four times a day and get nary one bingle from now until the final inning of the year had been played he would still possess a batting average that many players crave but never acquire. No one can question Hornaby's greatness as a batter. America surely is the land of opportunity to the world. Consider the recent international race in which the French thoroughbred, Epinard, was forced to bow to Wise Counsellor. Victory brought Wise Counsellor's owner something like $30,-000. That's about 540,000 francs at the present rate of exchange. Epinard, while winning 12 of the 16 races in which he was entered in European tracks, won a total of but 420,100 francs.

Cullop had shown a mean wallop at gat in the closing days of the 1923 campaign with Omaha. When that team began to climb in the league scramble this season he pleaded for the chance to play first base when he wasn't pitching. The request was granted. He soon became the leading hitter in the circuit and stepped into the role of Babe Ruth by leading the sluggers in clouting home runs. Cullop's showing at first base brings to mind the fact that the Yankees seem blessed with first sacking prospects. Lou Gehrig, former Columbia university star, showed great promise around the first cushion while sojourning with the champions during the training season last spring and a few weeks after the regular season opened. Gehrig is now playing a good game at first and socking the ball at a mery clip in the Eastern league. Oddly enough both are southpaw pitchers by profession, first baser by inclination and heirs by the great horn spoon. And no need to mention that the gentleman they have been emulating at bat—Mr. Babe Behemoth Ruth—also started as an off-side pitcher and took his turn at first. Old John Hoodoo is playing havoc with the Detroit Tigers these days. The injury suffered by Lu Blue, brilliant first sacker, and the illness of Bob Fothergill, star outfielder, have cost the Tigers much—probably will cost them the pennant. And Ty Cobb's disappointment after making an heroic fight for the flag is made more bitter by failure of the St. Paul club to come to his rescue in the case of Blue. Last spring Cobb decided that, while he would like to keep Johnny Neum for emergencies at first base, he ought to send the lad out for more seasoning. He allowed the youngster to go to St. Paul under an optional agreement. When the injury to Blue occurred JOINT CONFAB ON HIWAY PROBLEMS SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10—Highway and legislative problems related to motormod were discussed today at a joint meeting of the good roads and legislative committees of the California state Auto Ass'n, called by H J. Brunnier, chairman of the good roads committee of the association and Senator Arthur H. Breed, chairman of the committee of nine now investigating the highway situation. Highway and legislative problems were considered with a view to drafting policies and plans for recommendation to the board of directors of the automobile association. GOOD VAUDEVILLE AT CALIFORNIA The vaudeville show at the California for tomorrow is real big time stuff with plenty of variety to make it very entertaining. The Webbs, "The Marimbaphone Marvels," open the show playing all the latest musical hits on the marimbaphone in their own original way. Next, Daly and Gray in "The Height of Ignorance" present a very pleasing act of comedy singing and talking. It is not so much of their chatter, songs and dances as it is their mannerisms that have made this team one of the big favorites with all vaudeville audiences. The Ruby Raymond Trio offer "A Pot Pour of Songs," with imitations and their own original dance creations. They are artists in their own particular line and we know that this act will certainly please you. The headliners of the bill are Ward and Ackland in "The Misfits," who will present a line of chatter and songs that will sure make you laugh. This is a big time act and has made a hit over all the leading circuits so you can rest assured that you are in for a big treat. The Sailardo Trio, world's greatest comedy contortionists, present "Doldies in Jungleland," consisting of the monkey, the frog and the snake. After seeing this act you will be astounded at the Powerful physique, which yields him at the heart-break the Tilden sets, and the need to his driving and art play.

Last spring Cobb decided that, while he would like to keep Johnny Neum for emergencies at first base, he ought to send the lad out for more seasoning.

When the injury to Blue occurred, Cobb felt sure that the minor league club official would appreciate the situation and permit Neum to join the Detroit club for a short time at least. This the A. A. team owners refused to do. The sportsmanship of the St. Paul bosses is being criticized severely. President Heydler of the National league says that Rogers Hornby is a better batter than Babe Ruth. But you wouldn't expect Heydler to go out of his own league to pick the champion—not after the way the American league has been grabbing off all the batting honors for years, right under the nose of the parent organization.

WALKER, Professional at Anaheim Public Golf Course LESSON No. 7 Teeing the Ball When you place the ball on the tee place the ball with the name marked on the ball so that when your head is turned to your right shoulder the left eye can see that mark on the ball as near to the bottom of the tee as possible. If you place or tee it so that the club strikes where the two halves of the ball are steam pressed together, or on the seam in other words, you are likely to split the ball. You will never tie a ball whether from the tee or on the fairway if you can make your left eye look down at the back and bottom of the ball. A rubber tee is not advisable. The wet sand will give at the moment of contact with the ball, whereas the rubber tee. If your drive is properly executed, would be driven away with the ball. Observe when teeing your ball at all times that the ground in front of the ball and behind it is level. Also your feet are set firmly-on a level part of the tee. In driving a ball off the tee with a driver, brassie or spoon, you are sweeping the ball off the tee—a direct sweep with the arms. But on the fairway where you cannot touch or move the ball, your iron club stroke requires you to hit the ball, taking the turf through or beyond the bail.
