He intimated Pirates were gold-bricked in mid-winter trade with Cubs and therefore were due for flop. Reds, Giants, Dodgers and Cubs will make the pace, he said, and of these, he fancied Giants and Reds. Hendrick's remarks Reds have undergone many beneficial changes between seasons and offers following by way of substantiation. That they have best pitching staff in baseball, with Mays, Luque, Donobue, Rixey, Sheehan, May and Benton, ready to shoot on sight; that club having witnessed departure of Pat Duncan and Geo, Burns, and chastening of Jimmy Caveney by securing synthetic waivers, now recognizes Mr. Hendricks as boss and appointment of Ed Roush as field captain has eliminated element of internal dissension prevailing last year. At same time, Mr. Hendricks is free to admit there is a dash of vinegar in creme de menthe. Charlie Dressen, whose purchase from St. Louis carried heavy luxury tax, is probably dead loss. Hendricks says. Dressen can run, sit and think. But he can't throw. He has torn ligament in right arm, result of St. Paul injury. I don't think we will get much out of him."

Police have begun investigation to determine if fire was incendiary. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 19—Three persons are believed to have lost lives in a fire which ruined two hotels and caused $4,000,000 property damage in the famous resort of Palm Beach last night. The flames were brought under control after dynamite had been obtained and made ready for blasting a path between the flaming buildings and other structures. During the conflagration it was learned that the postoffice in West Palm Beach had been looted of $20,000 and the West Palm Beach Co. of Florida infantry was called out to prevent further looting. Thousands of dollars in valuable wearing apparel and other chattels of guests whose fortunes run into millions today lay on ground, carried from the blazing hotels by the owners and servants. This also is under guard or the soldiers. The Breakers, one of the oldest and best known of the resort hotels, was the first structure to take fire. The three believed to have perished are two children and their nurse. The father, refusing to give his name, but who said he was captain of a yacht anchored in the lane, declared he left his two children and their nurse asleep in the Breakers. The Palm Beach hotel, a smaller structure, also burned to ground. More than 400 guests at Breakers and about 200 at Palm Beach were taken care of by private families, Poincaré hotel, Everglades club or Country club. Millionalaires with their wives, relatives and guests were camping out today on the beach with three Boat Swimmers, largely crammed with wearing apparel and jewels. Practically everything in the hotel was lost. They were taking the situation with a smile, however, Barrels of flour, chairs, bureaus, dressers, filmsy pretty things, photographs and everything imaginable was scattered about the beach and golf courses adjoining. Among the persons who were guests at the Breakers Hotel were: Mr. and Mrs. K. Dawes, Montreal; Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Greening, Hamilton, Ont.; Mr. and Mrs. A. Garrow Montreal; Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Lewis, Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. J. L. MacLean, Toronto; Jack Hoxle's latest starring vehicle, "The Signs of the Cactus," a Blue Streak Western, which will be shown at the United theatre Friday and Saturday, is a vivid story of a situation duplicated many times in the settlement of the west, that of the dispute of the settlers and the promoters of irrigation schemes. Hoxle has the part of a man who has devoted himself to saving from ruin the ranchers in the grasp of an irrigation company. When mere lad, his father was killed as a result of a dispute. This conflict continued until he reached manhood. Leading a sort of Robin-Hood existence he preys on the irrigation company, using the proceeds of his lawlessness to help those who are being rained. There is a love interest that starts when the lad meets the litte daughter of the head of the irrigation company. He meets her again years after in dramathe circumstances and she becomes a vital factor in his future. The picture has several sensational scenes, including a dynamic explosion and a desperate rescue of the girl from the rapids. The picture was made in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. There is wonderful photography Hoxle is ably assisted by an ex cellent cast, including Helen Holmes, famous as a serial queen also Joseph Swickard, Francis Ford, J. Gordon Russell, Franklin Newburg, Francis Dana and others. Also on the program will be seen that sensational chapter play, "The Riddle Rider," more exciting as it nears the end. There is also an exceptionally funny comedy, "Sahara Blues." MUSICAL TRIO COMES SUNDAY The Van Sisters Trio, the special act at the California for Sunday only in conjunction with "Contraband," the big thrill comedy with Lois Wilson and Noel Beery comes to Anaheim with the highest possible recommendations. These very young ladder have been appearing in the largesttheatre in the east, where their reportaire of both popular and semi-classical numbers have made a tremendous big hit. Their special solo numbers as well as the beautiful trios on violin, cello and piano are one that you will long remember and the California theatre is to be congratulated on bringing this high class attraction to Anaheim TORNADO DAMAGE MURPHYSBORO, Ill., March 19—Murphysboro's tornado finan cial loss will exceed $5,000,000 Charlie Dressen, whose purchase from St. Louis carried heavy luxury tax, is probably dead loss, Hendricks says. Dressen can run, sit and think. But he can't throw. He has torn ligament in right arm, result of St. Paul injury. I don't think we will get much out of him." Hendricks said, "at least not this season." Further grief he cites in fact Reds have but two catchers, Hargraves and Wingo, but must get another and that he has four outfielders and three of them hit seethanded. The lone righthandler is Bill Zitznan, Jersey City recruit, and altho young man has been life of party to date he must and should have company. "Zitzmann is great prospect and his hustle is inspiration to rest of club." Hendricks declared. "He will play left field with Koush in center and Elmer Smith and Curtis Walker in right. Lots of hitting there but most of it is from the left side or plate." Five leading pitchers will be Rixey, Donohue, Mays, Sheehan and Luque, according to Hendricks, who says this present choice will curtail much disaster. Last year he had seven good pitchers and they all wanted to pitch at same time. Cavaney, much subdued young man, will be placed at shortstop and seem to have learned baseball is not eternal ride on band wagon Kritz, one of best young players uncovered during 1924, will remain at second base, and Piril whom Hendricks says is best third baseman in league, will place his favorite position. Yet according to some vents everything is not essential of iliac with infield. In fact one regular confided to me that Rube Bresler is somewhat graceful than sacred ox in taking throws at first base. Prayer rides with every ball throw over there," was his comment. Mr. Hendricks gives this angle of situation wide detour. However outside of defensi nt mind plate and lack of another outfielder, the Reds seem almost proof. The first division beckoning them, sure enough.

Townsend Martin wrote the screen play: Bebe Daniels is the star and Robert Frazer, Raymond Griffith, Kenneth MacKenna and others appear in the supporting cast. "Miss Bluebeard" is a story of Jolette Glirand (Bobe), French actress who goes to London. En route she meets a young fellow who poses as Larry Charters, prominent composer. The pair are stranded in a small town railroad station and go to the mayor's house as the only place of shelter in the little hamlet. The mayor mistakes them for a young couple he is expecting and marries them. Fancy that! What a mess! Now Bob Hawley, Colette's temporary husband, had given the name of his friend, Charters, so the girl finds herself with not one husband, but two. Nothing to do now but get a divorce. But when the real Larry Charters gets a glimpse of his made-to-order bide, he decides it is a honeymoon Colette will get, not a divorce. The girl also falls for him but will not admit it. She's heard a lot about these author fellows and for be it from her to be another of his "inspirations." Bebe's at her best in this one, but has to step some, nevertheless, for Ray Griffith, in the finest comedy characterization you've seen in pictures in many a long day, is also behind when it comes to handing out acting laurels. You're sure to hear more of this fellow later. Robert Frazer, as usual, comes through with a pleasing performance as leading man. The rest of the cast, too, are all true-to-type. "So this is love!" Is it? See it! A Sunshine Comedy, "The Masked Marvel" and an Aesop Pable complete the bill.
