Cold weather apparently took the zip out of boxers here last night, who fought under auspices of the Portland Boxing Commission. In the headline attraction, Sunny Jim of California won a rather listless ten round decision from Frankle Murphy, whose specialty appeared to be a combination back-pedal and stagger. Eddie Robinson took Lone Wolf McDonald down in ten rounds in a light heavyweight tangle. Chuck Sams beat Flash Kelly in four rounds. Neal Campbell knocked out Johnny Mitchell in two rounds and Otto Robinson measured Bill Poole in three rounds. The good old days were those when refreshments didn't consist of axle grease on a cabbage leaf. A Class Ad is best little salesman.

PRE-XMAS QUIET IN STOCK MARKET NEW YORK, Dec. 24—The stock market lapsed into typical pre-holiday conditions today. There was an almost complete lifting of the selling pressure which prevailed in the first two sessions of the week and thus the trend of prices was always toward higher levels with some of the best known stocks, at this late date, establishing new high prices for 1924. There was an equally small buying demand in the market today. Both the professional traders and the outside public seemed to be indifferent to the movement of prices of speculative stocks and indisposed to make new-commitments on the day preceding the Christmas holiday. The pools were inactive and with few exceptions their stocks were permitted to shift for themselves. Groups of stocks which have shown unusual activity in recent sessions were featureless. R-Y. OIL CO-ASKS ACCOUNTING Naming F. C. Krause, Fullerton banker, and N. H. Anderson, driller, as defendants, the Richfield Yorba Oil Co., today fitted suit in the superior court at Santa Ana demanding an accounting of funds from oil taken from the company's No. 1 well, located on the Jones lease. It executed notes in the sum of $5,500 to the First National and Commercial and Savings banks at Fullerton, the company alleges, and then entered into agreement with Anderson to deepen the well and act as its agent. All money received from the production was to be deposited in the First National bank, it claims. The company maintains Krause became a partner with Anderson in the enterprise, and financed him, the two, it claims, becoming the firm known as the Yorba Linda-Huntington Beach Holding company. Money taken from the production was deposited in the bank in the holding company's name, and the company has not received its interest, nor has it received payment for 500 barrels of oil alleged to have been used by the defendants. It has reason to believe, the company alleges, that FAST RACING X RACE TRACK, TI JUAN 24.-A good fast track prospect for the Dale Christmas races at C.

The company was loser in a court action two weeks ago in which the two banks succeeded in getting judgment of $550 based on the two notes. FRAUDULENT CHECK Charged with forgery, M. J.

NEW YORK YANKS MAY GET MERKLE NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—The possibility that Fred Mekle, Rochester first baseman, may be obtained by the New York Yankas as coach and pinch hitter, was hailed by local critics today as the final vindication of a popular ball player, whose career was almost wrecked in its infancy. Known to everyone as "Bonehead" Merkle following his failure to touch second base in the memorable Giant-Cub game of 1908. Merkle lived down the ignonny to become one of the hardest hitting and best first basemen in baseball.

"Red" Mason, manager of Greb, had an extended conference with Rickard yes. HEADLINE ACTS AT CHRISTMAS IN CALIF. There are five very good acts at the California for Friday only, each one having been booked especially for their highly entertaining qualities for the Christmas season. "Arthur and Partner" present a "Comedy Novelty" that is dedicated for laughing purposes only with a delightful surprise at the end of their act. "Robb and Almy," in "High Class Hash" demonstrate what can be accomplished in diversified entertainment presented in a clean wholesome manner. "The Those Boys" are a happy combination of pop, harmony and jazz. As a dispeller of the "Blues" and gloom chasers extraordinary they will prove a very pleasing surprise. "Rex Webber" is a natty clean, cut performer who has a highly entertaining series of songs and stories. "The Golden Bird" is a Canary of almost human intelligence and is a very novel act that must be seen to be appreciated. When William Fox made the photoplay version of "Hearts of Oak," James A. Herne's meiodrama, which makes its bow to local audiences at the California theater Friday, he put upon the screen one of the most dramatic stage productions in the history of the stage. And he did it in a manner that added glory to the works of this well known author of "Shore Acres" and other plays that have made their everlasting impressions upon three generations. Hobart Bosworth, as Terry Dunlivan, the sea faring man, whose love, hopes and desires are entwined in this high tensioned story of human hearts and the sea, has what is probably the strongest role of his career. Bosworth can always be depended upon to give a great performance and this instance is no exception. Pauline Starke, as Chrystal and Theodore Von Eltz as Ned Fairweather, add some dramatic moments to "Hearts of Oak" that contribute much to the making of a fine beautiful picture of Mr. Herne's play. The entire cast, in fact, is excellent. Other players seen in this Fox production are James Gordon, Francis Powers, Jennie BARTHELMESS IS "WEST POINTER" Dick Barthelmess had prehaps the most strenuous period of his life during the filming of his new First National picture, "Classmates," at the California Theatre today and Christmas. The U.S. Military Academy granted the movie company an unusual privilege when it permitted them to film scenes on the famous grounds of the West Point school and to use cadets as "extras." However, it was stipulated that all the actors necessary must live according to school regulations. Aside from his acting in scenes for the picture, here was Dick's added routine: He arrose with the cadets, revelle being sounded at 8:30 o'clock a.m. Breakfast followed thirty minutes later. Cavalry drill occupied much of the morning, and for some of the classmen a portion of the afternoon. Dinner came at 12:20 noon. Part of the afternoon was devoted to infantry and artillery drill. The afternoon parade on the West Point plain came at 5:30 o'clock. Guard mounting immediately followed with supper direct afterwards. The call-to-quarters was sounded at 7:15 o'clock, tattoo at 9:30 o'clock and taps at 10 o'clock except on hop (dance) nights, when it was sounded at 10:30 o'clock. Spare moments were occupied with recitals. A Mack Sennett comedy, "Flip Flops," and a late issue of the International News complete the picture program. The California will run continuous Christmas Day from 3 o'clock to 11.

It was announced today, "Red" Mason, manager of Greb, had an extended conference with Rickard yesterday and was said to have reached an agreement with the promoter. Mason, however, declared that he preferred to talk matters over with the champion before making a definite decision. Organist Presents Christmas Fantasie George E. Turner, the concert organist at the California theater, has arranged a special musical fantasie appropriate to the season introducing special scenic and lighting effects with famous melodies handed down from past ages. The musical numbers will interpret the scenes associated with the Birth of Christ, such as the journey of the three wise men, Shepherd in the field, the babe in the manger and the advent of the angelic choir. This is an original conception of Mr. Turner's taken from various fields of classical music, and presented in this form for the first time.
