"RACING LUCK" FULL OF ACTION
In "Racing Luck," Monty Banks is up against it hard when he loses a fortune that he has saved in which to go into business and bring his parents from Italy to enjoy new life in this country. Just when he and the girl of his young life, Rosina, played by Helen Ferguson, are mourning Monty's great financial loss, Monty is dragged by the heels so to speak in a big international auto race when an ambitious press agent of the big contest, runs Monty's picture, in the newspapers, with a flaring caption, that he is the famous foreign driver that has been signed to drive a Comet car in the big race.
It is all done in the name of fun and it's jolly good fun with many thrills the way Monty, Miss Ferguson and the villian, played by Francis McDonald enact the plot and comedy before the camera.
As an added feature on this exceptionally entertaining program will be William Duncan and Edyth Johnson in that thrilling railroad melodrama "The Fast Express." This chapter of the serial has a thrilling surprise so do not miss it.

Continued from page one crowd of 50,000. It will be a cosmopolitan gathering, if ever there was one. Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, will appear in person. So will Jack Dempsey, the king of heavyweights, with whom the winner may be matched. Both are royalty, the first by divine right, the second by force of circumstances. They represent only one of the many contrasts with which the gathering will abound.
All in all, it will be a specious occasion, the most significant in fact that pugilism has known in recent years barring championship fights.
It will furnish Wills his chance for a shot at the big money and possibly the championship. It will stake Firpo to the chance of redeeming his two round knockout at the hands of Dempsey.
And, all Cauliflower Alley from one end to the other hasn't the slightest idea of the winner, say what it might. A symposium of the experts this morning showed as many picking Wills as picked Firpo and none could give a logical reason for his choice.
NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 11 — Federal Judge William Runyon today denied an application for a warrant for arrest of Luis Firpo, Argentine "prizefighter" on the charge of violating the Mann White slave act.
The charge had been made by Herbert Clark Gilson, attorney for five organizations seeking to block the Firpo-Willis fight scheduled to take place at Jersey City tonight.
Gilson and three New Jersey ministers were present when the judge handed down his decision.

The Miller-Sour wrestling match at the Fullerton club will be Sept. 16 or next Tuesday evening instead of Friday as first given out. Manager Jaffray informs us that the match is coming along great. Both men are working to be in tip-top condition. Miller just has to keep toned up a bit. His physical condition is near perfection at all times. The clean, right living of this youngster should commend him to the sport world. He has been winning with such regularity that there are those that would like to see him thrown.
We all thought that Hackenschmidt would throw him when they met the last time but Miller proved us wrong. Peter Sour is really a great wrestler and is young and should have the endurance to stay with Miller. His extra weight should handicap the Brea lad but Miller has fought handicaps before. Both men will go on the mat with all the confidence in the world. Miller knows that he will have one of the hardest tussles of his career, but he believes that Orlando Miller can be wrestling when the other man has spent his force. He has done that little thing so often that he has a perfect right to believe that he can do it with Pete Sour.
Abe Goldstein is still the ban-tam champion in spite of all Tommy Ryan could do. Tommy started off strong and finished the same way but in between the first and last round of that 15 round fight. Tommy received an awful lambasting and just barely kept away from a knockout.

round fight, Tommy received an awful lambasting and just barely kept away from a knockout.
The Brooklyn Dodgers are still going like wild and the Giants neighoring city has gone baseball mad. They are again calling Uncle Wilber the "miracle man."
Uncle Wilber has taken a bunch of misfits and is knocking at the exhausted door where National league pennants are kept. Four months ago if some one would have had the nerve to fortold such a condition they would have been laughed out of town, but when Uncle Wilber gets his old men started once nothing seems to be able to stop them.
Of course the Pirates and Giants are still very much in the race but the Dodgers have accounted wonders even if they do not cop. What would Robertson do if he had a real team to work with?
Bert Ellison has accomplished what he has been trying for all season. He is leading the Coast league batters. Duffy Lewis has been showing the way all season but Bert has kept within hailing distance all the time. Now he finds his average up to .392 while the Mormon leader is only hitting .390. True, Bert's lead is not very great but he is leading.
Wally Hood is still leading the Angel swatsmiths with .348, Mike Menosky is the high man for the Tigers with .320. Jimmie McDowell is batting .285. Jimmy McDowell is not hitting regularly. One day he is a demon, next he is not so good. He has made 142 hits out of 4 times at bat. He has unloaded a lot of heavy swats on the opposing pitchers, having made 28 baggers, 6 three baggers and 20 home runs.
The Seals who are playing with the Angels this week at Washington park, seem to be all set for another pennant. The Seals for the last four seasons have been about the best minor league aggregation ever assembled. Outside of their pitching staff they are the class of all minor leagues this season. They work together like a well oiled machine. Manager Ellison seems to be able to keep down all internal friction which boils up on ball teams so often. The Seals are the most confident bunch I ever saw play. No matter how far behind they may be, they act as if they knew that they could step in an knock out a victory. It is this never bed.

Bert Collma had one of his good nights Tuesday and Lawyer Sage took a sound thrashing from the Whittier Mex for the starting bell—Bert the lawyer almost out in the first round but could not complete his job. Sage can use his noodle in the ring as well as in the court room. He staved off a knockout by using his old bean. He never had a chance all evening to win from Bert.
Johnny Adams pulled a defeat out of the fire in the last three minutes, up to which time Phil Salvadore had the best of their argument. Johnny made a great finish and succeeded to gain a draw.
It was the first time that the new Doyle arena was not capable of taking care of the crowd. Many turned away after all the available standing room was taken. It was a great card and all who attended seemed to think that they received their money's worth even if they had to stand.
They are talking Tommy Gibbs with the winner of today's battle, Firpo and Willa. Tommy will take on the winner some time in October. That leaves a Jack Dempsey fight out of the question till next spring. Dempsey will be at the ringside this afternoon and says that he is ready to take on the winner, but Jack is not his own boss. Jack Kerns will say when the champ is to fight.
Kerns says that Jack needs the fights to stay a champion, that he is losing out from inactivity, but at the same time Mr. Kerns wants the U. S. treasury and then some to put his champ in action. When it comes to talk Mr. Kerns is about the best little hot air merchant in the world, but when it comes to business he gets the money or there is no business.
No matter who wins today there will be a lot of blckering before he gets in the ring facing Jack Dempsey if he over is given that chance. If Wilts cuts Firpo down today, the public may force a battle on Mr. Kerns, but Mr. Kerns is hard to force.

WHO IS BABBITT IN ANAHEIM?
Have you a "Babbitt" in your community? Harry Beaumant, who directed the screen version of Sinclair Lewis' widely-read novel, "Babbitt," for Warner Brothers, states that every hamlet, town and city in the United States boasts of at least one character whose career parallels in part that of the central figure of the entertaining Lewis story.
Some days, says Beaumant, dictionaries will include the word "Babbitt" and will define it as one who is commercially and socially ambitious; a person who affirms himself with a community's civic and social activities. For such is the Mr. Babbitt whose character and personality are typical of countless thousands who make up the populations of every community of 500 or more persons.
Beaumant's picturization of "Babbitt," Willard Louis portrays the title role to perfection. He is a more or less pompous and self-satisfied man who is a member of every civic, social and fraternal society his city harbors. He is a professional "booster" for the town and is a prime mover in all things.
Mr. Louis is supported by a brilliant cast, some of the members of which are Mary Alden, Carmel Myers, Raymond McKee, Maxine Elliott Hicks, Cissy Fitzgerald and Lucien Littlefield.
This Warner Brothers Classic of comedy in which Buster Keaton appears at the California theater tomorrow and Saturday.
A strange, strange sea ritual is brought to light in the latest omedy in which Buster Keaton appears at the California theater today and Saturday. It is called "The Love Nest," but the action in the comedy completely gives lie to the pacific atmosphere that the title of the picture suggests.
Buster, a heart-broken swain, takes to the briny deep for solace in a small boat. When his provisions have been exhausted he makes connections with a tramp whaling ship, the skipper of which is a swash buckling old giant who indicates his displeasure from time to time by hurling members of the crew over the side of the boat. When a seaman has gone over the side, it is his custom to select a flower wreath from a bin especially provided for the purpose and toss a wreath after the fired member of the crew.
One of the big laughs occurs when Buster, realizing that his days aboard the boat are few, spends no little time selecting a

No particular signs were mentioned by name.
The board referred to District Attorney A. P. Nelson a petition from E D. DeGray and H. H. Riley of La Habra that they be permitted to operate the dance hall there. The petition was signed by leading business men and ranchers, who approved if the place were run in an orderly manner.
