NEW YORK, Sept. 16—across the face like a disc program the British polo will enter the field against afternoon for what will certainly be the final and olding match of the international series, the victim of further ternal dissension which developed in the last 24 hours. The rift was caused by the petty dropping of Maj. J. Hurndall on the eve of the by the British selection committee. Hurndall happens to be member of the committee; it is said, wasn't consulted. His removal, Hence the act. Maj. E. G. Atkinson will number 3 in place of Hurndall the committee has caused be announced.

DESTROYING ANGEL AT UNITED THEATRE All the excitement and thrills and laughter any motion picture lover could desire are to be found in "The Destroying Angel," in which Leah Baird and her slum-brous eyes appears tonight for the first time as a comedy screen star at the United theatre. Miss Baird has always yearned for a role in which she was not asked to smoke cigarettes or steal some other woman's husband and she has found it in this clever adaptation of Louis Joseph Vance's exciting novel. Never was her regal dark beauty more striking. She is gorgeous in her dance costume of gold and feathers and a pleasing armful in her Deauville bathing costume when being carried off by the kidnappers. Little wonder that the dashing John Bowers as the hero follows her through her perilous experiences in a wild motor boat chase and desperate encounter with two such overpowering villains as Mitchell Lewis and Noah Beery impersonate. Those who have been kept awake all night reading the book will find it well condensed here in six fast reels. It impresses one as the best thing Leah Baird has ever done in her dual role as screen author and star. It is satisfied as the best detective story and possesses an added charm in the many laughable situations during the romance. LADIES' NIGHT AT UNITED THURSDAY Thursday night will be ladies' night at the United theatre when the big feature "Foolish Parents" will be the attraction. The management has arranged a special price and by clipping the coupon printed in this paper and presenting it at the box office each lady will be admitted for 10 cents. "Foolish Parents" is a drama that tells a big, virile story of glided life, turmoil and strife, and a picture that every woman in Anaheim should avail themselves this opportunity of seeing.

Y., Sept. 16—The tragic death of Jimmy Murphy of Vernon, Calif., premier Yankee motor racer on the New York state fair track here yesterday, robbed the motor world of two, not one, knights of the track, for Benny Hill, racing partner and chum of the dead man, is thru with the game, it became known today. Hill, his eyes filled with tears, announced his decision to retire as he assisted in carrying the coffin holding Murphy's body to the New York Central train on which it is speeding westward to Los Angeles today. "I shall race no more," declared Hill, who for six years has been an outstanding figure on the motor speedways. What caused the accident to Murphy's car probably never will be known. The best supposition is that a steering knuckle broke and Murphy was unable to control the wheel. EASTERNERS KEEN TO COME TO CALIF.

The latent was caused by the perempotrophy of Maj. F. H. Andal on the eve of the match the British selection committee Hurndall happens to be a tabber of the committee, but said, wasn't consulted about removal. Hence the agony. Maj. E. G. Atkinson will playober 3 in place of Hurndall, committee has caused it to announced. He was one of weakest links in the cobweb of the British defense in opening match and it is reed that Maj. Hurndall his successor's ability so only that he has canabled to the authorities in England, proing against the committee's own. The twice revamped British map will include Col. T. P. Willie, No. 1; Maj. Geaffrey H.apa-Hornby No. 2; Maj. Atchion No. 2; and Luis Lacey. It had been announced loudly that Maj. T. V. Kirkil and Maj. Atkinson number 1 and number 2 in the original line-up would be removed, announcement was only fifteen cent, true, unfortunately. Maj. Hurndall. He was capo of the original team until over his vigorous protein favor of Lacey difficulties are typical that has gone before in the nation and management of chvaving fear. Colin Stevenson, injured on today, will be missing from loudly that MaJ. T. V. Kirk and MaJ. Atkinson number 1 and number 2 In the ornate line-up would be removed, announcement was only fifteen cent. true, unfortunately MaJ. Hurndall. He was capable of the original team until over him vigorous protein favor of Lacey difficulties are typical that last gone before in the nation and management of shaving fear. Alcolm Stevenson, injured on Friday, will be missing from American lineup this afternoon but in his place will be Art E. Strawbridge, a young far more brilliant, but not dependable. Stevenson said this morning physicians had informed him was suffering from either a ruined skull or concussion of brain and they would take chances of his dying on the only a modern miracle can preclude Americans from winning afternoon and retaining position of the cup. A third shift will be played on Thursday any case, for some reason other.

Brooklyn faced the INDEE BATTERED NEW YORK, Sept. 16—Fistle is today toiled a requiem the professional career of by Dundee, former world’s heavy champion and scan 130-pound titleholder, result of the beating he received at the hands of Jack Berner for 15 rounds last night. Beth drove the Italian from side of the ring to the other entire distance and only he’s great generalship saved from a knockout. Classified Ad for results. The American tennis team successfully defended the Davis Cup so that choice bit of brice-a-brac will remain in the U.S. another year. Bill Tilden and Bill Johnson defeated the Australian team composed of O’Hara Wood and Gerald Paterson. The two great American players did not play much of a game as to team work; their victory came through individual play. Little Bill and Long Bill were great when not in each others way. America is surely at the top of the heap in the world’s athletics this year. Poor Old Jack Johnson is thrust. He has tried most everything the last few years even to a boxing come back which was a decided failure. He has now turned to the pulpit for his last stand. Black Jack will tell his colored braethren to repent from their sins before it is too late. Jack’s nickles are few and far between. He has made considerable money but it all went to brighten up the Great White way. Los Angeles has been handling the Pecky Seals some terrible beatings. The low Angels took four out of the first five games. The Angeles have just awakened to the fact that they are a ball club. If they had found them prestige thru the refusal of Pancho Villa, flyweight champion, to defend his title against Frankie Genaro on Sept. 23 as scheduled. Villa claimed that he had injured his shoulder in training, following the example of Benny Leonard, whose claim of an injured hand cancelled his fight with Mickey Walker this month. Villa stood today suspended by the State Athletic Commission for eight months as a result of the cancellation, three physicians testifying they could find nothing wrong with his shoulder.

AT SALT LAKE-Jackie Gordon, Brigham City, defeated Midget Smith, in six rounds. selve two months ago So. Calif. fans would have been singing sweet praises about them, but as it is their good work is more or less wasted. They should be in position to make an early start next season. Sammy Mandel made a nice start in the four round game when he took the tough Willie Hoppe down the line in the Hollywood glove show. Willie got the jump on Sammp and took the first round but lost the second and fourth while the third was even. Sammy is one lad Johnny Adams battles fight ally of if he wants to keep his title intact. Sammy is a hear cat and no fooling. When he gets used to the four-round ruff even Bennie Leonard better look carefully to his guna. Bill Essick’s biffing Tigers are on the toboggan for fair. Bill’s only reliable pitchers are not able to hold the enemy any longer. The relics that Bill dug up have failed, so the Tigers are slipping down and down. Neither Bill nor owner Ed Maier relish a loser and the wods will be thoroughly combed this off season for any embryo pitchers to toss at the rest of the league next year. The court of Justice John Cox, famous Santa Ana sparring enemy, had established today a new “chart” for violators to consult.

PLATFORM SACRAMENTO, Sept. 16—California Republicans in pre-convention caucus here this morning wrote the main plank of their platform in two words—"Party solidarity." Leaders of the "grand old parity" mean to carry the new battle thrue the presidential campaign and as the convention got under way today there was little evidence of the factional war which it was feared might arise over state issues. The convention slate, as agreed upon in caucus, calls for the election by unanimous vote of Senator H. C. Nelson of Eureka, as chairman; naming of 13 presidential electors agreeable to the State Coolidge forces; unqualified endorsement of the party's stan-bearers—Coolidge and Dawes—and selection of Chas L. Neu-miller, a Johnson supporter, as chairman of the State General Committee. Formal election of the Central committee chairman, however, will not take place until the meeting of the committee in San Francisco next week. The anti-Richardson wing of the party is in undisputed control, according to convention leaders, but has virtually entered into a peace pact with the governor's forces "for the duration of the campaign." The Democratic state convention is expected to re-elect Judge Claude F. Purkitt of Willows as chairman of its State Central committee.

AT THE CALIFORNIA THEATRE TODAY AND WEDNESDAY BROKEN BARRIERS HAS ALL STAR CAST "A gallery of favorites" and a rousing good story make Reginald Barker's new production for Metro. "Broken Barriers," which opens today at the California Theatre, one of the most entertaining pictures of the year. Rarely, if ever, have we seen such a collection of stars in one picture. James Kirkwood plays the part of Ward Trenton, in love with Grace Durland (Norma Shuarer), but unable to obtain a divorce from his wife (Winifred Bryson). Mr. Kirkwood and Miss Shearer are the individuals around whom the plot revolves, but there are many side angles which require exceptional acting, and they certainly get it. Mae Busch appears as a friend of Grace Durland. She is in love with Tommie Kemp. The latter role is taken by Adolphe Menjou, and he once again demonstrates that his great success in Chaplin's "A Woman of Paris" was no mistake. Then there are George Fawcett, as the girl's father; Robert Frazer, Ruth Stonehouse, Winifred Bryson, Robert Agnew, Vera Reynolds, Edythe Chapman, Margaret McWade and George Kuwa. You can't beat that cast! The story is a powerful pictorial discussion of the divorce question—its worth, its uselessness, and the part it plays in the philosophy of the younger generation. When Trenton can not get a divorce, Grace is all for defying convention, but the former realizes they are playing with fire. The girl, however, says she will never give him up. STUDY MOVEMENTS OF MISSING GIRL KINGSTON, N. J., Sept. 16. In an attempt to shed light on Elizabeth Johnson's movements just before she disappeared on Aug. 12 and remained missing until her body was found in a clump of bushes on the grounds of St. James College, six young men friends of the girl were summoned to the offices of County Detective Ferdinand J. Leavitt today. They are not under suspicion in connection with her murder, it was said. The only actual club, police leada to the search for Harvey Selhaver, formerly of Spencer, Ia., a farm hand discharged by Joseph Johnson, the girl's father, just before she disappeared because they had been "too friendly." Altho there is nothing of a definite nature to link him directly with the girl's death, a general alarm has been sent out to locate him for questioning.

CANNON NOW USED TO HUNT RABBITS Nimrods who pursue wild game are accustomed to using all kinds of weapons, depending on the size of the animal they are trying to shoot. But it is seldom that howitzers are employed for the extinction of rabbits, as is the case in Mack Sennett's latest two-reel Pathe comedy, "One Spooky Night," which will be shown at the California Theatre.
