EYES TURNED ON AMERICAN RACE NEW YORK, Sept. 26—The American League race, with the Senators leading by a margin of two games, today drew the attention of all fandom. After a lay-off of one day, during which the National League battle was drawn closer to a decision, through the New York victory over Pittsburgh, the Senators were to open today against the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees, second place club, were to engage the Athletics in Philadelphia. Both teams fighting for the American League championship were to meet clubs rated as "easy" in baseball circles, but the Athletics ever have been trouble makers and are strong enough to give any club a battle. In Boston the Senators admitted they are meeting a club which figures to give them less trouble than do the Athletics with New York. Washington leading by two games, can get no worse than a tie now if they win two of their remaining four games and the Yankees are victorious in four straight if Washington loses three out of four. The Giants and Dodgers are left alone at the top of the heap in the National League. Two more victories are necessary for the Giants to clinch their pennant, provided Brooklyn wins its two remaining games. MONDT HOLD'S LEWIS TO DRAW LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26—"Toots". Mondt, Colorado cowboy, battled to a draw decision here last night in his match with Ed "Strangler". Lewis, champion heavyweight wrestler. Lewis won the first fall in one hour and ten minutes and Mondt took the second in 39 minutes. In the 11 remaining minutes of the time-limit match, Mondt had the advantage. BARON LONG BUYS Horseback riding on a wholesale scale furnishes one of the big punches to "The Red Warning." Jack Hoxie's latest Universal Western Thiller, which will show at the United Theater tonight and tomorrow. This picture is the best "straight" Western that Hoxie has ever done and although there is no outstanding dramatic acting in the picture there are several dramatic situations of worth. It is filled with rapid action and some of the riding scenes are unusually spectacular. Scenically the picture is one of the most attractive of the season. The desert shots against the rugged mountain background are particularly beautiful. A wealthy rancher was cleaned out by rustlers and he mortgaged his ranch to get a grub stake to search for a lost mine. He died on the desert after he had told a couple of prospectors that he found the mine. He gave them some nuggets and a location map before he died. The miners recognized the nuggets as worthless "tools gold." To save the ranchers daughter from poverty, the younger prospector borrowed a poke of real nuggets from a rich friend and tells the girl that her dad had found the lost mine. That act established a friendship between the two that eventually culminated into love, although the girl had to follow the bashful swain into the desert to make him admit his affection for her. The organization of the riders of vengeance, composed of all the GRIDIRON GOSSIP BERKELEY — John Sargent will fill the shoes of Walter Ran at guard tomorrow against Santa Clara; Lowell Mell will replace Thatheer at end and Frank Cooper will replace Lewis at Guard, Ran. Thatheer and Lewis are all on California hospital list. STANFORD — Uncle Sam's navy will furnish the Cardinals squad with workouts tomorrow meeting teams from both the U.S. S. Nevada and the U.S. S. Tennessee. Card freshmen will meet Sacramento junior college. CORVALLIS — Coach Sehistler's two "first" aggle elevens were pitched against each other for the first public scrimmage of the season yesterday. Today nine men are suffering from pulled ligaments and chinley horses. EUGENE — Coach Maddock's early season prayer, "Oh, for a quarter" seems to have been answered by the wiry Lou Anderson whose flashy work has insured him of a permanent berth. SEATTLE — University of Washington will inaugurate the 1924 football season with two games tomorrow afternoon, both in the nature of practice tilts. Their opponents are the U. S. S. Maryland Athletic Club. MOSCOW, Ida — With the greatest array of substitutes in the history of the institution, Coach Mathews is drilling more than 60 players for the scheduled opening game with Gonzaga at Spokane, Oct. 4. LOS ANGELES — Coach "Fox" Sranton of California Tech is expected to resibit entirely to begin play here tomorrow, when his men clash with the University of Southern California in the season's opener. MONDME, Pa., Sept. 26—Finalists in the National Amateur Golf championship were virtually determined beyond the per-adventure of chance this morning, when Bobby Jones led Francis Outmet $ up and Geo. Von Elm topped Max Marston, defending champion, by six up at the end of 18 holes play in the semi-final round. Olmert and Marston were outplayed completely, the former winning only one hole from Jones during the morning round. Von Elm got the jump on Marston after making the turn for home one up. He shot the final nine in 32 against the champion's 41, their medal scores being 76 and 84 respectively. cattlemen in that district, with the one idea to wipe out the rustlers, is the beginning of the biggest thrill in the picture. Hundreds of horsemen are used in this scene. The ranchers were assembled under the leadership of the young prospector, played by Hoxie, whose display of horsemanship in the big chase of the rustlers is excellent. Hoxie does exceptional work in the featured role and is ably assisted by an excellent coattail. As the added attraction on the program Baby Peggy will be seen in her latest comedy "Peg O' The Mounted." You will love this tiny star more and more after seeing her rollicking through this comedy. She is surely rightfully called "the darling of the movies." MONDT HOLD'S LEWIS TO DRAW LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26—"Toots," Mondt, Colorado cowboy, battled to a draw decision here last night in his match with Ed "Strangler" Lewis, champion heavyweight tennis. Lewis won the first fall in one hour and ten minutes and Mondt took the second in 39 minutes. In the 11 remaining minutes of the time-limit match, Mondt had the advantage. BARON LONG BUYS SPRECKLES RACERS SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26—Baron Long, noted San Diego millionaire horse breeder, today announced the purchase of the famous A. B. Spreckels racing establishment at Napa for a consideration of $150,000. ANAHEIM LIONS HEAR NEBELUNG Some new lights on his trip to Africa and other countries were apparently given to the Lions Club at their weekly luncheon today by Raymond Nepelung, who spent more than a year in South Africa, advising the South African democracies regarding citrus culture. It will not be profitable for the South Africans to ship their oranges to the United States, said Nepelung for various reasons. Moreover, African oranges cannot be laid down in America because they are affected by the canker and Mediterranean fruit fly. Mining and agriculture are the principal industries of South Africa. From the Pacific const, South Africa gets a large part of its lumber, the home grown timber being largely hardwoods. All told, Nepelung traveled 20,000 miles, mostly by train because gasoline costs around $1.00 and motor cars are more expensive than in the United States. G. AND E.

CUP PRESENTED FOR MOST VOTES The California Development Am., will present a $100 "Better Citizenship Cup" to the Chamber of Commerce securing the highest voting percentage in its respective community. California is entering an era of unprecedented development. That we may secure the maximum benefits of this development it is necessary that every stone in the path of progress be properly laid. Prosperity cannot be enduring, subantial or beneficial without government, the degree of government is predicted upon the degree of interest taken by the citizens of that government. National statistics show that voting percentage is less than 50 per cent of eligible voters. Registration closes at midnight of October 4th. Your Chamber of Commerce is entering this contest. If seems strange that we should have to urge citizens who have the privilege of voting to avail themselves of that opportunity. Since only 50 per cent of the entire United States cast their votes at election, is it any wonder that sometimes in our nation, state and county affairs men get in office who do not express the real opinions and judgment of their constituents? Every citizen is a stockholder in this great government. Is it not a wonder that we do not think enough of this company to cast our vote at one of its stockholder's elections? The perpetuity of this government of our depends upon the electorate. If many of our best citizens neglect to register and are indifferent about casting their vote, how can we expect a clean, honest, progressive government? The Chamber of Commerce is asking every club in the city, the labor union and all civic organizations of any kind to make it a duty for the next few weeks to see that everyone of their members register and on November 4th everyone cast their vote. "GIFT NIGHT" AT CALIF. TONIGHT Tonight is Gift Night at the California theatre and over $100 in gifts will be given away. In a Paramount picture brimful of thrills and crumbling with action that includes one of the most climaxes on the screen, William Farum will make a triumphant return to the silver sheet in the Wallace Worsley Paradigm production, "The Man Who Fights Alone" tonight and Saturday at the California theatre. Farum's characterization of the capable, forceful engineer whose unwarranted jealousy and suspicion of his best friend all but goes to his destruction is nothing short of the work of a genius. He proves that as a dramatic actor of emotional parts he is in a class by himself. "The Man Who Fights Alone" based upon an adaptation by Jack Griffith from an unusual story by William Blacke and James Shelley Hamilton called "The Miracle of Hate." Right from the first flash-in, when the audience makes the acquaintance of the principal characters, the plot begins to develop some highly dramatic situations. It is a searching, psychological study of what happens to a fine, strong man when he falls into the clutches of the green-eyed monster jealousy. Powerful complications ensue that lead up to a startling climax, and in the end the story is brought to a happy conclusion by a unique twist of fate. The flawless acting of Lois Wilson and Edward Horton featured... Scene from 'WINE' A UNIVERSAL JEWEL WITH AN ALL STAR CAST Wait, the image is cut off at the bottom.

In the midst of his eulogy on the grandeur of the plains, Fred Kobler, screen "heavy" walked on the set to say hello to a friend in "Wine." He stopped for a minute to greet the lads around the piano and get an earful of the atmosphere of God's country where men are men, as vividly painted by Long's words. It made the heavy light-headed and he brutally poked a pin in the Long bubble. He told the boys that he had just returned from a seven weeks' location trip in Nevada. The weather was no cold that the grease froze on the ham and eggs at breakfast time; the beautiful plains were blanketed with a foot of snow; the wind blew the roof off the cabin and he got nine chillblains on each foot. Kobler explained carefully. Salad Long: "I was only fooling I will stay in Hollywood a while longer." The Chamber of Commerce is asking every club in the city, the labor union and all civic organizations of any kind to make it a duty for the next few weeks to see that everyone of their members register and on November 4th everyone casts their vote. Does not the welfare of the United States appeal to you sufficiently for you to perform a patriotic duty? Registration closes October 4. Let Anaheim cast every vote she has within her limits. Let us make it 100 per cent voting power. In many undertakings our city has won and her fair name has been mentioned from ocean to ocean. Let us enter this suffrage field and be ranked first in the whole state and bring home the Better Citizenship Cup. GEO., W. REID, Sec'y.
