UNITED THEATRE PRICES: 10c-20c-30c Tonight and Wednesday ALMA RUBINS in DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS' BRILLIANT NOVEL "THE PRICE SHE PAID" AN ABSORBING STORY OF MODERN MARRIAGE. Thrilling Sea Rescue and final peace with love and dreams A BIG SUPPORTING CAST INCLUDING FRANK MAYO—WILLIAM WELCH Eugene Bresserer—Wilfred Lucas MR. ND MRS. CARTER DE HAVEN in "THE PANIC ON" Niagara Falls Scenic Beauty ROBERT STRANG AT THE MIGHTY ORGAN FIGHTING GAME BACK WITH BANG SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24. The fighting game has come back in California financially as well as legally. Approximately 20,000 persons paid $40,000 to witness a lightweight 10-round elimination bout in the first tryout of outdoor boxing under the new state boxing law. As a result Harry Morrison, father of the boxing bill and promoter of the Jack Silver-Joe Benjamin fight today "pointed with pride" to the success of both the measure and the fight and at the same time added heavily to his bank account. Benjamin won easily in a fast, clean, hard-fought battle. He had a clear margin in most of the rounds over Silver and in the second almost scored a knockout. The Los Angeles boy won not only the Pacific coast lightweight championship thru his victory but also the right to represent the far west in the national elimination tournament to find a successor to the crown of Benny Leonard. BUSINESS IN FINE CONDITION What are the prospects for American business? Never better, is the almost unanimous belief of American business leaders. Below are excerpts from recent statements by experts in various lines of industry and finance. "I believe we are beginning an economic period during which practically every total measuring business activity will far supass former records." — Frank A. Vanderlip. "The oil industry is in a very sound position today. It is the ALMA RUBENS IN HER BIGGEST ROLE It is a very old and truthful conception that life constitutes continual buying and selling. Everything under the scope of human activity or human need has its value and to possess anyone of these things one must pay the given price. Who has not at some time found himself in a situation where great sacrifice is needed—times when money can purchase the right to live, and yet other times when left itself is in danger of being offered away? Such a situation, truthful to life in every sense, is presented in "The Price She Paid," starring Alma Rubens, which is the attraction at the United theatre tonight and tomorrow. Insurance companies were enriched to the extent of $1800, having agreed in return for that premium to pay Morrison and his promoters $10,000 had rain stopped the event. Only one thing marred the event and that was the hurling enthusiasm and max result in ru "The oil industry is in a very sound position today. It is the soundest I know of. Increasing needs have caused surplus stocks to diminish. Oil prices have advanced further. With a dry fall there has been a very heavy demand for gasoline. I am very optimistic regarding the industry for the year 1925." — Frank A. Vanderlip. "The upholding or the mining industry has been accomplished in America by the strong right arm and courage of her individual citizens. The industry will not wish the injection of government into it. It would destroy the primary initiative that has made and will make the industry." — Herbert Hoover. "The money situation never was so sound. Business is in a liquid state. There is an opportunity for sane development such as we rarely have had presented." — J. Theus Munds. "I believe we are now facing an industrial and economic revival that may be so long continued as to be termed an industrial renaissance. I myself look for greatly improved business." — Bernard Baruch. GIBBONS AND WILLS MAY FIGHT FIRST NEW YORK, Feb. 24—Question of the priority of the challenges of Harry Wills and Tom Gibbons for championship bouts with Jack Dempsey still was undecided at today's meeting of the state athletic commission before which challenges were filed by Wills and Gibbons. E. Brower, chairman of the commission, was indisposed, and altho he attended the meeting he declared he did not feel equal to the discussion today. He announced the matter would be decided next Tuesday. There is a possibility that neither challenge will be given preference, but Wills and Gibbons matched, the winner to meet Dempsey. SPORTS DONE BROWN BY NORMAN E BROWN This lightweight tournament is trying to stage its value and to possess any of these things one must pay the given price. Who has not at some time found himself in a situation where great sacrifice is needed—times when money can purchase the right to live, and yet other times when left itself is in danger of being offered away? Such a situation, truthful to life in every sense, is presented in "The Price She Paid," starring Alma Rubens, which is the attraction at the United theatre tonight and tomorrow. It is the story of a refined, educated young lady whom circumstances compell practically to sell herself in matrimony to the highest bidder. The vastity of an unreasoning mother and the influence of an insincere step-father drive her into this predicament—and there is nothing to do but accept her fate. Alma Rubens is superb in the emotional role of the daughter who was sold. She is ably supported by Frank Mayo. Others in the cast are Eugene Bresserer, William Welsh, Lloyd Whitlock, Freeman Wood and Wilfred Lucas. BREATH EASIER WITH CHANEY OUT NEW YORK, Feb. 24: With the echo of Tommy O'Brien's sensational knockout of K.O. George Chaney still reverberating up and down Brodway, the second episode tournament will take place tonight with the meeting of K.O. Jaexon and George Lee, who has been installed a favorite in the betting. The various lightweights entered were breathing easier today as Chaney, the owner of more than 100 knockouts. He dropped O'Brian for a count of nine in the first round and seemed on the verge of an early victory when O'Brian, in spite of a broken right hand, crossed the member to Chaney's jaw in the fifth. The latter barely lasted to the bell and was knocked down twice in the fifth before succumbing. O'Brian will be out of the rest of the tourney, according to the official club physician, who examined the broken hand. Jimmy Goodrich, however, remained in the running, although Eddie Kid Wagner. The spectators thought the latter was in front at the end of ten rounds but the judges ordered two extra sessions and here Goodrich won easily. KENT AGAIN CHAMBERDOG TEAM DRIVE ASHTON, Ida., Feb. 24: Kent is again champion dog team driver, having been successful his supreme effort to "come back yesterday by winning the American Dog Derby in the closest fist ever witnessed on the snail trail classic. His win yesterday was the climax of two years' work up in Targnee for to raise and train a dog team that would defeat the drivers to whome he lost his championship two years ago. His time for the 25 miles was two hours 18 minutes and 18 seconds. Smoky Gaston finishing second followed by the 18-year former champion, Olcott Zarn, Tom Morefield who finished fourth. Kent, by virtue of his victories a second leg on the American cup which must be won three times for permanent ownership. TWO HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUES Two County Hi School leagues, for boys and for girls, will be organized again this year according to Assistant Coach Serland, who said he hoped teams again would win both pionships. The local young folks now playing among themselves, der that the proper classification may be given to each player, paratory to picking the two wily and other teams. This citation they will be able change later by defeating an opponent in the first or second above them. The county league tournament will not open until April 1. ANAHEIM AND S.A.B TEAMS CLUB The Anaheim Hi School class team will play Santa Clara League games only, the re-league games being finished. The first of the semi-final games in the So.Calif. camp will take place Thursday, the D team meets that of M... SPORTS DONE BROWN BY NORMAN E. BROWN This lightweight tournament that Tex Rickard is trying to stage is going to be a great big juicy bust, judging from the situation right now. Sid Barberian, who ranks as one of the real contenders for the title, has withdrawn from the tourney because of matches made previously in other sections of the country. Sid Terris and Sammy Mandel have taken their dolls and gone home. Before they met they had both decided that their battles should be the one to decide the proper man to acquire Leonard's mantle (not that old rose dressing gown he wears on the stage, however). Rickard couldn't see that of course. He looks for much money to pour into the cup in the Rickard cupboard before the "logical successor" is announced and officially sanctioned by the busy New York commission. PE-RU-NA FOR STOMACH CATARRH Tablets or Liquid Sold Everywhere Then Johnny Dundee, who was put in to furnish some color and draw a few of his faithful adherents to the tourney, decided to get mad because he was criticized for his actions abroad and quit the tourney cold. The 12 remaining "eligible" gentlemen can proceed with the tourney. But victory will mean little to the winner to win the round robin. Give Jole Ray, America's track star, credit for being a great runner and game to the core. But he follows a will o' the wisp when he believes that he can match speed with Nurmi, under the proper conditions, and beat him. True, Nurmi has beaten Ray at odd distances offener than at the mile. Ray's own distance, but the flying Finn has shown clearly that he is Ray's master from gun to tape. Nurmi runs an entirely different type of race from Ray. The latter follows the usual style of setting a good stiff pace but reserving enough strength for a spurt at the end. Were Nurmi and Ray to go into the last lap or two of one of their races even up, Ray probably would best the Olympia wonder. But Nurmi beats Ray and all other opponents by setting such a gruelling pace from the start that they cannot keep up with him. If they let him set the pace for them and attempt to follow they find themselves exhausted before the final laps. Their sprint is gone. If they run their usual race Nurmi laps them once or twice in the middle of the race and at the finish has piled up such a commanding lead that their sprint is wasted. Jole is a great runner. He has an iron heart. But Nurmi is more than a great runner: she is super-runner. Nurmi has proved that he is Jimmy Goodrich, however, remained in the running, although many disputed his victory over Eddie Kid Wagner. The spectators thought the latter was in front at the end of ten rounds but the judges ordered two extra sessions and here Goodrich won easily. ANAHEIM AND S. A. B TEAMS CLAS The Anaheim Hi School class team will play Santa this afternoon. This will practice game only, the re league games being finished. The first of the semi-games in the So.

BING GAME BASK WITH BANG MANCISCO, Feb. 24. If Fullerton is successful in landing the Southern Branch, U.C., it will have done much for the sport word of Orange-co. In fact, no greater boost could be given. It will mean big football, baseball, tennis and all the other college sports. If the branch is located where there is plenty of room for expansion, it will in the course of a few years become one of the largest institutions for learning in the world. Our climate and natural assets will far out shadow anything the northern college has to offer. As the college grows so will the athletic side. It is not far fetched to dream of world’s championships being staged right here in our own back yard. The local high schools will be benefited by the location of the Branch U.C. at Fullerton. There will be many families settle in the nearby towns and cities, the advanced members will attend college while other members will attend the high schools. We are all pulling for Fullerton to be successful. Friday night will see another real championship fight at the Hollywod arena, when Ace Hudkis meets Pat Mills. These boys are lightweight and should be reckoned in with the bunch that are laying claim to Benny Leonard’s vacated throne. Our fighters, like our college athletes, are not considered by the eastern powers that be. Judge Landis, the supreme power of the baseball world, is supposed to be impartial but his actions concerning our western problems stamps him to be as near-sighted as any of the other eastern athletic powers. President Harry Williams asked the “Judge” to substantiate some of his assertions. STOCK MARKET PRICES MIX NEW YORK, Feb. 24. price movements prevailed in stock market today.

President Harry Williams asked the "judge" to substantiate some of his assertions which was not done. Last week he handed Vernon a package in the Courtney deal. The Cubs handed Vernon damaged gods in Courtney and took a wad of real money for the same. The Cubs knew that Courtney was throughand the unwritten law governing such deals between gentlemanly ball clubs would have given her the money back, but the Cubs owners are at outs with the Vernon management and were backed up in handling Eddie Maier a package by the "Supreme One." The local racing fan that traveled over to Culver City for a thrill Sunday received their money's worth. There were three spills, with tail spins and all the rest. These three wrecks caused the track to become dangerous and the race as called off for the day. All those present were given rain checks to come another day. Fortunately none of the drivers of the wrecked cars was badly hurt. Frank Elliot was the first to start the mixup. He was crowded into the rail on the south turn while going at the rate of 128 miles per, in trying to right his car it went into a spin. Another front of his dodged too closely to the lower guard and he also did some skidding. The track had become oil soaked from the first wreck and a third driver lost control of his mount. The officials wisely stopped the race at this juncture. This ending will be a great boost for the racing next Sunday. Everybody and his brother will be on hand to get another bunch of thrills. All up and down our southern coast is heard the sound of bat and ball today. All of the Coast League teams are beginning the limbering up process. In a few days the St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs will also be doing their spring stuff. In about two weeks the writers will be picking the weak spots of all the teams. In about three months the same writers will be hedging on their mistakes. Baseball is a grand old game and easy too dope until the game is played, then it is easy to dope why the dope did not run true.

Oil stocks were wanted, except at good concerts in prices.

The most severe earthquakes since the Japanese disturbances were recorded on the Gonzales seismograph at Victoria, it was announced this morning by Prof.Dennison. He declared the shocks to have been of a most severe character, located 1500 miles northwest of this city. They lasted two hours, coming at 3:58 p.m. Monday and ending two hours later. No agitations are noted on the instruments today. In Prof.Dennison's opinion the reported disturbances at Seward would not indicate the worst part of the film match to 'COVERED WAGON' Thousands of cattle, but not a cent in the bank—that's the way the Texans found themselves in the days of reconstruction that followed the Civil War.Texas was in a bad way.The only thing it needed to make it boom was a market for its berries and when the news came of such a scene there was! Forty-five hundred cows, sixteen more or less human cow hands, 115 saddle ponies and all the rest, which young Taisle Lockhart boss of the ranch, at their head hit the trail—a trail that brought them through Indian territory; through fire and water and after many months to the little Kansas town; if we might call it such that was the mean their salvation. We couldn't begin to mention here the trials, the sufferings and hardships this little band underwent during the drive.The not as well known as the famous trek of the covered wagons westward; this great cattle drive was no less dangerous an adventure.
