Pete Sory who claims to hall from Phoenix, Ariz., smothered the Little Giant then picked him up and slammed him to the mat, but not until the Little Giant had won the first fight with a perfect stopper hold. The match was hard fought the way with Miller doing great defensive work. The Brea lad did not have the invader in trouble but a very few times. Sour used his extra weight and strength to keep the little man down. Pete jumped into the lead right off the bat, getting the Brea lad all tied up with the Nelson family of holds that kept Miller fightt for the first 15 minutes, even second of which time it appeared that the Little Giant would pinned to the mat, but he managed to keep one shoulder free. He broke away finally but on for a short time. Sour did not play any variety of holds, depending on the Nelson group most Miller had little or no chance with the sour grape until about the 27th minute came to a close then suddenly Pete made a gren for Miller's toe and the men roll over on the mat. In the roll, Miller secured the hold that made Johnny Meyer a champion. Pete was hitting on the mat right now but the ankle was severely sprained. Here is where Miller displayed his sportsmanship. Just a little more pressure and Pete Sory would not have wrestled any more that night. The ankle was rubbed down and worked with throughout the best period. Few gave Pete chance when he came back on the mat for the second fall, but his superior strength and cleavage blocking he kept the Little Giant from getting a hold on the jured member. The men were their feet for several minutes before Pete brought Millr to the mat. Pete began to work for hammerlock and kept Millr wrathered down until the Little MAY SOLVE N.Y. MURDER MYSTERY NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Convinced that the four masked men who robbed Miss Edith Bobe, wealthy modiste, and her escort, Robert L. Hague, marine superintendent of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, are the same quartet of bandits who murdered "Dot" King and Louise Lawson, "Broadway butterfiles," police today began working on every possible clue in the hope that by catching the four robbers they would solve the mystery of the "gay white way's most dramatic criminal episodes." Hague is a married man. He was married in Hoboken, N. J., on April 1, 1923, to Alba Kneeland of Los Angeles. Close questioning of Miss Bobe, Hague and the negro maid who was bound and gagged while the bandit ransacked the apartment before Miss Bobe returned home, revealed that the stage setting and every move of the masked quartet was exactly the same as in the murders of the two actresses and the robbery of Francis Larrimore, another actress. Miss King and Miss Lawson are thought to have been murdered when they woke up while their apartments were being searched. Miss Larrimore and her mother felled sleep when they discovered the robbers working in their rooms, or it is thought they, too, would have been killed. After the murder of the two butterflies of Broadway the bandit murderers escaped without leaving the slightest glow as to their identity and the crime has been the most baffling faced by the New York police in years. While Miss Bobe and Hague were being robbed of jewelry and money valued at $50,000, however, the mask slipped from the face of the leader of the robber gang and police have therefore obtained a description of him from the two victims. The maid also had an opportunity of seeing the robber's face. DAVIS PREDICTS HE'LL BE NAMED Continued from page one in your problems as president of the United States."

Funeral services for the famous "Peerless leader," who died here Monday, will be held in Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon and interment will be made in Rosedale cemetery. The services will be private, although all friends of Chance will be admitted, it was announced. Today a steady stream of messengers poured out to the beautiful Chance home in Glendora, bringing to the widow of the great first baseman and manager messages from all parts of the country. Another stream led to the undertaker's where the funeral services will be held. There wreath after wreath came in tribute to the former Chicagoan and like the directory of sport-dom read the cards attached to the flowers. The most touching of all was a grief-laden message from Johnny Evers. Comiskey, Charley Murphy, Christy Matthewson, Mike Donlin, Barney Dreyfuss and John Heydler, president of the National league, all sent floral tributes and personal messages to Mrs. Chance. There was a message from Johnny Kling, the famous catcher who played with the four-time champion Cubs, and too there were condolences from millionaires of the Chicago Board of Trade, from Chicago's city officials, from men he had managed in his many years of baseball and from baseball league officials from Seattle to Maine. MUSICAL TRADES BANQUET TONIGHT Plans for tonight's annual dinner gathering at the Elks' club of the Music Trades Ass'n of So. Calif., are going forward today, and upwards of 200 members and guests are expected, according to Anaheim members. The decorations, which will consist of flags, bunting and flowers tastefully arranged about the tables, will be a feature. An entertainment and dancing will follow the feast and speaking. Officers of the Western Music Theater were rubbed down and worked with throughout the heat period. Few gave Peter chance when he came back on that mat for the second fall, but his superior strength and cleavage blocking he kept the Little Giant from getting on the jubred member. The men were their feet for several minutes before Pete brought Millr to that mat. Pete began to work for hammerlock and kept Mill smothered down until the Little Giant could do nothing. Pete was angry at the commencement of the second period and his tactile were rought, but within the lace of wrestling. Miller complains of his rough work and did not share of the rough play, too. Neither wrestling was doing anything not allowed in the game by elbowing and chin jabbing does not take well with some of the fans. Wrestling has been taboo for just this sort of stuff and for the good of the game the wrestlers were warned to keep away from the rough stuff. Pete finally gave up his hammerlock for a body seissors and wristlock, the fall coming in 22 minutes. The third fall came very suddenly when Pete secured a host on Miller and raised him high and slammed him to the mat with such force that Miller was stunned. The fall came in just one-half minutes with what the wrestlers call a slam hold. Miller was outweighed son and Sour displayed a lot more strength. The Little Giant was great in the defense and inducement. Sour did not display much stuff as in their previous match. His footwork was near so pretty and he did not attempt many holds; he merely smothered Miller with his strength and weight. The preliminary match between Tom Roller and Ralph Gooda was a dinger while it lasted and had the main match backed at the map for action. Tom looked to be a little heavier of the two and he seemed to know more Gooda was as hard to hold an eel. He slipped out of off after another of Roller's specific until a vicious toe hold laid him low, the fall coming in 18 minutes. There were many celebrities at deck to be introduced. The well-groomed and prosperous appearing Toots Mondt. He was introduced as the next world champion. Toots was a close server throughout the match but he surely did not see anything that he had not seen before.

Davis also voiced his reasons for being optimistic. "I believe in the first place that the things which transpired in this country in the last three years have shown the confidence of the American people in the integrity of the men to whom they have entrusted their governmental affairs," he said. "I believe they are resolved to assure themselves of a government honest, not in part honest not here and there, but honest from top to bottom."

SENATORS IN FRONT NEW YORK, Sept. 17. — The Senators were in front by half a game in the American league race today but the Yankees have a chance to regain the lost ground by taking both ends of a double-header from the Browns. Detroit received an unexpected setback at the hands of the Athletics, dropping to five games behind the league leaders. There were many celebrities at deck to be introduced. First was the well-groomed and prosperous appearing Toots Mondt. He was introduced as the next world champion. Toots was a close server throughout the match but he surely did not see anything that he had not seen before. The next to be introduced was the famous "Bool" Montana, who challenged the winner of the bout "Bool" says he is growing better and better each day. Anyway, received a big hand and man would come to see him and So. Pete in action. Old John Hackenschmidt was the next to make his bow. Hackenshmidt is remembered by all as the clearest wrestler that ever strutted his stuff before local fans. McDonald was introduced as the world's famous referee. He made a nice little bow and received good will of the people. Kotstanorus next paraded his beautiful tin ears to the pub and gave his title as champion Long Beach. The next gentleman to be produced appeared more like Count De Cabbagesees. He attired in English tweeds, his socks, cream and tan oxford and a walking stick. Oh yes, he has a two-inch beard. This piece is scenery was none other Constantine Romanoff. He challenge Miller to a handicap match. He offered to throw Miller two times in 60 minutes. Out in the audience were two other wrestlers that did not have the limelight of introduction turned on them. One was Emil Marpa, who claims to be the champion of France, and the other was Carl Johnson. If Johnson had tended o pledge of Pete Sour together with his present ability he would be world's champion. Johnson would like to wrestle but he does not appear to be able to find one to return the compliment. MUNICIPAL SPRINGS FORMER The La Vida Mineral Spring Co. of Anaheim, capitalized $500,000, today filed articles incorporation with the county overseers, showing its directors to be C. W. Blatner and W. N. Milli of Anaheim, A. V. Vail and W Berkonseck of Santa Ana and L. Pugh of Long Beach. LER TOPPLED FROM HIS THRONE By Sargun Sprout Little Giant's throne totand fell last night at the mon eluo, out not until after great battle. Pete Sour, alms to hall from Phoenix, mothered the Little Giant, kicked him up and slammed the mat, but not until the Giant had won the first fall perfect stopper hold. Match was hard fought all day with Miller doing great work. The Brea lad did love the invader in trouble every few times. Sour used a weight and strength to the little man down. Jumped into the lead right bat, getting the Brea lad up with the Nelson family that kept Miller fighting first 15 minutes, every of which time it appeared the Little Giant would be to the mat, but he manto keep one shoulder free. Bake away finally but only short time.

EXPECT GIANTS TO WIN PENNANT NEW YORK, Sept. 17—Barring the coming of a collossal cropper in the final two weeks of the race, the New York Giants seem almost certain of winning the National League pennant at this more or less mature writing. This remark is not ventured merely because the Dodgers lost and the Pirates broke even yesterday. Those near disasters are just contributing factors. The Giants should win because they have all the best of the situation remaining. The well known brow of John McGraw is just about poised to receive the equally well known laurel wreath as the first manager to pilot four straight pennant winners in the major leagues. With a game and a half lead over the Dodgers this morning, the local club can do no worse than break even on its remaining eleven games and still beat the Dodgers if the latter win only six of their remaining ten games. The Giants are two and a half games in front of the Pirates, which means that five games won and six games lost by the Giants would force the Pittsburg entry to win ten games and lose only four-to nose into the pennant. These estimates, of course, are BEARS FORCED TO SEEK COVER NEW YORK, Sept. 17—Wall Street bulls turned the tables on the bears today and traders on the short side of the market scamped to cover up their shorts as prices were marked higher in every department of the market, with possible exception of the oil stocks. The opening gun was fired in the first few minutes of trading when Crucible Steel, heavily sold on rumors that the dividend was in danger, snapped back into a higher price level and no stock was obtainable within a point or two of yesterday's close. From then it moved steadily forward to above 58 for a gain of more than seven points from yesterday's low. The bears were badly shaken and on attempting to cover on other stocks, found conditions practically the same. Bullish pools were ready to mark up the prices of their favorite stocks today as selling pressure was lifted and buying demand increased. Bust Iron Pipe at 106% was up about three points; General Electric gained 5 at 262%; Crucible Steel up 5½ at 58½%; Baldwin 2½ at 122¼%; American Can 2½ at 128½%; and U.S. Steel at 108⅛, was 1½ points higher. Foreign exchange rates supplied an accurate index of the effect of international negotiations on important questions abroad and some encouragement was also taken from the favorable reception by the French people of the Hurley scheme for refunding the French debt. Railroad stocks joined the upward movement shortly after the noon period and ten or more of the active issues held the center of the stage. Frisco preferred made a new move at 61⅛; while the common stock was up more than a point at 29⅛; Southwestern preferred at 71⅛; Missouri Pac. pd. at 54 and Atlantic Coast Line at 134 represented new high prices for the movement.

Anyway, he a big hand and many come to see him and Sour With a game and a half lead over the Dodgers this morning, the local club can do no worse than break even on its remaining eleven games and still beat the Dodgers if the latter win only six of their remaining ten games. The Giants are two and a half games in front of the Pirates, which means that five games won and six games lost by the Giants would force the Pittsburg entry to win ten games and lose only four-to nose into the pennant. These estimates, of course, are based on the premise that the Giants will give something of a five thumbed exhibition through their remaining games. Let it be supposed that the Giants will win six games and lose five. In this case the Dodgers must take eight out of ten and the Pirates 11 out of 14 for either to show the winning percentage at the wire. The situation therefore would seem to bear a somewhat sombre shade of black for the two contenders. They must play championship ball right up to the final day of the race and at the same time hope that the Giants will dally with the Class AA variety. CLUB STANDINGS COAST LEAGUE W. L. Pet.

Sweeping down the steep slopes fronting the advancing fire lines, the backfire, given impetus by a freshening wind, cleared a wide safety zone in the path of the onrushing conflagration. Flames shot into the air, 100 feet high, giving off a burning rain of sparks when the two lines of fire came together, observers said. For an hour the struggling flames writhed back and forth closely guarded by 590 men under Maij. Kelly, chief of field operations of the United States Forest Service before the success of the desperate maneuver was determined.

SLAVES OF FASHION KILL MOTHER-LOVE Too often the modern woman becomes a slave of fashion. She is as wedded to her dressmaker and her milliner as she is to her husband, in the sense that she would rather dispense with her husband than pass up the chance to have a new hat. She will go to any lengths to get a distinctive gown, and her search for trinkets and baubles of all kinds is neverending. Just such a one of the moderna was Cecilia St. John, one of the leaders of the fashionable set of Portman Square, London. She worshipped at the shrine of fashion and a new dress to her was what a ten dollar raise is to a young fellow just starting in business. She would rather have a Paris hat than anything she could think of. So when she saw that Lucille was giving a special showing of hats in Paris when she, Cecilia, was in London, she did not hesitate to take aeroplane passage to Paris so that she could attend the showing. "Foolish Parents" is the name of the story, which is the film version of I. A. R. Wylie's delightful novel, "The Paupers of Portman Square," at the United theatre Thursday night only.

KNOCKOUT BILL AT CALIFORNIA Another knockout bill presents itself at the California Theatre tomorrow when John M. Stahl's latest and most compelling drama "The Wanters" will be screened. "We are all wanters and incapable of being entirely satisfied with life." So says Director John M. Stahl who has made this contention the backbone of his latest photodramatic accomplishment, "The Wanters" a First National picture to be presented with an all-star cast by Louis B. Mayer at the California Theatre Thursday only. "We crave wealth or fame, ease or luxury, solitude or crowds, rest or excitement, romance or adventure, always the thing we haven't got, and when we get it we promptly want something else," declares Stahl. "We are never fully satisfied. And so human contentment is one of the rarest things on earth." The element which Mr. Stahl particularly deals with in "The Wanters" is made up of the wealthy social climbers, and he exposes their hobbies and superficialities in a new light on the screens. The central figure of the story is girl who tries to satisfy her craving to close to the luxuries she has had ways been denied, takes a position as maid in a home of great wealth and social standing. The romance which accompanies her elevation to high social position demonstrates in a gripping climax the emptiness of all her wanting and that of the snobs who had done their best to make her life a miracle. While no attempt is made to form a definite solution of the problem of "wanter," there is a moral interwoven with the thrills, comedy and dramatic suspense that adds interest to the theme and lasting quality to the picture. The scenario was written by J. G. Hawks and Paul Bern from the Lella Burton Wells story. The east includes Marla Prevest, Robert Ellis, Norma Shearer, Huntley Gordon, Lincoln Stedman, Richard Headrick, Gertrude Astor and Lillian Langdon.
