PAGE SIX UNITED THEATRE TONIGHT ONLY WILLIAM DESMOND AND HELEN HOLMES IN A STARTLING ACTION STORY "OUT WITTED" COMEDY SCENIC FRIDAY AND SATURDAY LEFTY FLYNN FILMDOM'S NEWEST STAR IN "BREED OF THE BOARDER" A SNAPPY WESTERN STORY PACKED WITH ACTION AND THRILLS "The RIDDLE RIDER" COMEDY and NEWS COMING SUNDAY — "THE SALVATION HUNTERS" OAKS STRONGER, ASSERTS HOWARD By IVAN C. HOWARD Manager Oakland Club of the Pacific Coast Baseball League. OAKLAND, March 26. — The Oak will be strengthened in practically all departments when the Pacific Coast league season opens April 7. I figure that "Hub" Pruett, left-hander, acquired from the St. Louis Americans, will, alone, more than make up for the loss of "Duster" Mails and then we have two other pitchers, Delaney, right-hander, and Fowler, left-hander, obtained from St. Louis Nationals, showing great promise. Flowers, the sensational young shortstop, included in the Mails deal, has been troubled by an injured finger, but his place has been filled in fine style by Jimmy Reese, who has been showing some of the flashiest fielding seen around here in a long time. HI-School Notes Assistant Coach Sutherland's tennis starlets humbled Fullerton 12½ to 9½. Anaheim won three of six matches with Junior College and tied in fourth. In singles, Moody, Anaheim, tied Switzler, Fullerton, 6-1, 1-6; Grafton beat Gilmore, 11-9, 6-4; Cole beat Howard 6-2, 6-4; Killer lost to Wright 7-5, 8-6. In doubles, Grafton and Harvey played Switzler and Gilmore, the score being 4-6, 6-4 and 5-7; Cole and Killer played Wright and Howard 7-5 and 8-6. Friday Sutherland will take six boys and six girls to Santa Ana for six games. May 2 has been set for county tennis tournament at Fullerton. There are six in league—Anaheim, Orange, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Tustin and Capistrano. Fullerton and Santa Ana are in so-called coast league. Tuesday Coach Fitzmorris will hold track meet with Fullerton J. BOY SCOUT FIELD MEET SATURDAY The annual field meet of Scouts is Saturday, March 1 at City Park in Anaheim. Scouts from all over county will participate in parade from City Headed by Whittier State School at 1 p.m. The parade will march down town streets returning park at 1:30.

SPORTING EVENTS LOS ANGELES---Miss Ma Browne vs. Mrs. Dorothy Hill Miss Rosamund Sherwood vs. Dorothy Richards were the matches on the program when the semi-finals in the annual Southern California women's championship golf tourn were played at the Flint Country club links. Miss Br and Miss Richards were pick win the matches today and tomorrow in the finals. LOS ANGELES---With no evening up the series between Cubs and Vernon, Manager Flowers, the sensational young shortstop, included in the Mails deal, has been troubled by an injured finger, but his place has been filled in fine style by Jimmy Reese, who has been showing some of the flashiest fielding seen around here in a long time. Reese has been getting the hits with great regularity and he will be a hard man to keep off the team. First Baseman Julisto, victim of hard luck in the way of injuries in the last two years, says he is in the best possible shape and looks for a big year. Brubaker and McCarren are battling for the second base job and that position will be well taken care of, no matter who wins the regular berth. Makin, at third, is living up to all advance notices as hitter and fielder. "Big Buzz" Arlett is driving the ball to all corners. Cooper is showing his old-time speed in the field and on bases after being laid up with a broken leg for many weeks. Joe Bratcher, another player acquired through the Mails deal, is clicking the ball hard. LaFayette and Calher are putting up their usual steady game in the field and at bat. The catching department includes Baker, Read and McDonald of last year's staff, with Dempsey and Pickering, contending for places. Pickering, on account of his hard hitting, is a strong candidate for utility man, as he can play the outfield and infield as well as catch. In addition, Oakland has several fast youngsters, including Jack Penton, substitute first sacker, who has been pelting the ball. The Oaks will have plenty of reserve strength and I believe we will give them all a battle for the pennant. DEMPSEY MANAGER BLAMES PROMOTERS NEW YORK, March 26—Speaking of the sentence imposed on Jack Dempsey by the commission for his failure to accept Harry Wills' challenge, Jack Kearns today again laid the blame for the situation on the lack of available promoters. "Rickard, the man most likely to make an acceptable bid, cannot afford to do it now while in federal court on the moving picture case," Kearns said. "Charley Henderson has not even got his lumber in for the new place and cannot talk business. I repeat what I have said, a thousand times, played Switzler and Gilmoris, the score being 4-6, 6-4 and 5-7; Cole and Killer played Wright and Howard 7-5 and 8-6. Friday Sutherland will take six boys and six girls to Santa Ana for six games. May 2 has been set for county tennis tournament at Fullerton. There are six in league—Anaheim, Orange, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Tustin and Capistrano. Fullerton and Santa Ana are in so-called coast league. Tuesday Coach Fitzmorris will hold track meet with Fullerton J.C. at Fullerton. Friday he will take bunch to Santa Ana for Baseball game. Tustin beat Anaheim on track in practice meet, but locals made good showing; Holder took first in 100 yards and 200 yards, Ralph Jabs third in 100 and 220, Lenz third in 880, Goddard-and Holden second and third in 440 Holden first in discus, Dumke third in shot put—he stepped out of ring several times—Preston third in high jump, Harris third in broad jump and Sweeney and Lusk second and third in pole vault. Anaheim scored 33 points. Miss Jacques' girls baseball team lworsted Tustin 3-2, after latter last February beat Anaheim 18-14. Elizabeth Mott pitched trout and she. Lydia Moore and Cuba Carner each scored. An indoor boys and girls baseball game will be played Friday. Thursday Miss Jacues will take second team to Orange. SPLENDID PROGRAM AT UNITED THEATRE The offering at the United theatre tonight is a startling action drama of counterfeiters and detectives and lots of mystery.

Bobbie Dunn will also be seen in a side-splitting comedy. "Just Lucky." Friday and Saturday, Manager Anderson will offer a big triple program, consisting of a high-class feature, a screaming comedy and that ever popular chapter play. "The Riddle Rider." The feature will show "Lefty." Flynn, the popular Yale football star, in his third big production, a great story of the outdoors, "Breed of the Border," which is entitled to the distinction of being rated as one of the best westerns, both in action, atmosphere and drama, of the year. Dorothy Dwan makes a charming foil for Mr. Flynn, and the cast has been chosen with the greatest care. The comedy sprinkled liberally through relieves the high pitch of the dramatic situations to good effect. LOS ANGELES---Miss Browne vs. Mrs. Dorothy Hill Miss Rosamund Sherwood vs. Dorothy Richards were the matches on the program when the semi-finals in the final Country club links. Miss Biar and Miss Richards were pick win the matches today and tomorrow in the finals.

OS ANGELES—With hopes of up the series between the girls and Vernon, Manager Bill Classy VAUDEVIDLE AT THE CALIFORNIA There is a knockout show of vaudeville and screen entertainment booked for the California for Friday and Saturday of this week. The five big acts of vaudeville is all big time stuff and is full of pop and speed with never a dull moment. "Leon Lang" is an exceptionally good juggler and has a wonderful line of comedy talk. "Clifford and Vance" are a sprightly young pair stylish steppers who offer dainty songs, dances and comedy that is refreshingly entertaining. Their eccentric dances are a marvel. "The Allen Sisters" are two very pretty young ladies who present "Harmony N'Everything." Their special song numbers are well worth the price alone. "Dick Gardner and Anna Revere" have an offering with a surprise finish that precipitates a gale of laughter. Mr. Gardner is an eccentric comedian, who dances like a leaf in the autumn wind. Miss Revere has a marvelous voice and displays some gorgeous gowns. A most beautiful and artistic offering is Madame Verobell and her company in "Songs and Dances of 1925." Mme. Verobell is a well known English grand opera star, formerly being a member of the Metropolitan and Chicago Grand Opera companies. Her company consists of five very capable artists. The William De Mille-Paramount production, "Locked Doors," written-and adapted for the screen by Clara Beranger, is the feature picture attraction Friday and Saturday. The story opens in the home of a wealthy architect—Robert Edson. Others there include his wife, Betty Compson; the latter's father, Theodore Roberts; and the architect's sister, Kathlyn Williams. The architect is many years his wife's senior and, while she respects and admires him, she has never really loved him. To the HEAVY SELLING CLOSES MARKET NEW YORK, March 26.—Heavy selling broke out in the stock market near the close of the session today and not only wiped out all of the advances scored by industry leaders in the latest rally but also sent some of the most active industrials to new low levels for the year. Selling was concentrated on Baldwin Loco, Gen. Elec. Amtr. Can and other high priced stocks which, because of bearish activities in the past two weeks, had been driven to low price levels and rebounded from four to 15 points in the last two days. A spirited rally around the noon period, following the announcement of the granting of a five per cent, dividend to the holders of preferred stock of the Wabash Railroad Co., resulted in good gains in prices of both industrial and railroad shares. The former including the oils and motors. Selling broke out in the last hour with the advance in call money rates from 3½% to 4⅔ per cent. Tightening of the money market was due to the necessity for preparation for month end settlements and without special significance. Baldwin dropped steadily from 118⅓% to 112⅓%, which is 2 points lower than the previous low of the year. U.S. Steel lost all of its recent advance and got back to 117%. Amtr. Can declined from 173 to 168⅓%; Gen. Motors from 70⅓% to 68⅓%. Stock sales today 1,382,000 shares; bonds $11,063,000. FOREIGN EXCHANGE NEW YORK, March 26.—Demand and cables—Great Britain 4.78⅓% and 4.78⅓%; France 6.24 and 5.24%; Belgium 5.10⅓%和 5.10%; Swiss 19.26⅓%和 19.28%; Italy 4.07⅓%和 4.07%; Sweden 26.93 and 26.96; Norway 15.66 and 15.68; Denmark 18.21 and 18.23.
