Baseball men in general had not hesitated to say McGraw making mistake and claim "days" of late August will prevail.

We will have a good pitching staff. We will have an infield and outfield that will know what it is all about. We hope to get improved hitting from players who have joined club this spring.

CHILD DIES AFTER EATING CANDY EGGS SACRAMENTO, March 28 — A police investigation into the death of Alice Myrtle Maers, 4-year-old SALVATION HUNTERS AT UNITED SUNDAY What might be truthfully called the Cinderella of motion pictures is "Salvation Hunters," the film that swept into the limelight and success of discovery by some Hollywood fairy godmothers. Sunday opens its local engagement at the United theatre for the theatre-goers of this city to see for themselves. This motion picture with a new technique, a new idea and a new realism, gave its author and producer, to say nothing of its players, the most sudden boost ever recorded in the magic realm of Hollywood. A few months ago Josef von Sternberg was a hopeless salvation hunter himself, one of the countless mob of idealists seeking position, recognition and fame in the studios. He wanted to direct and thought he had something original to express. Under terrific hardships, after being everywhere rebuffed, he managed to make his own picture. Pooled in the venture were George K. Arthur, a gifted young English film actor; Georgia Hale, an "extra" girl, and several other almost unknown players. After extreme difficulty a private showing was arranged and a dozen of the biggest film stars and producers on the coast startled the obscure group by hailing the picture as a remarkable find and a work of genius. The picture was immediately financed and released. Fortune and renown as suddenly overtook the producer and the actors as the sun began shining on the hero and the heroe salvaation hunters in the film itself. U. S. C. VS.

"GREED" COMING TO CALIFORNIA "Greed," the title of Von Stroheim's film transposition of "MeTeague," which will be the attraction at the California theatre for next Wednesday and Thursday, was produced entirely in the actual locations described by the author. Much of the dramatical action of the story occurs in San Francisco. The director spent weeks there filming scenes within real houses and on busy streets. The locale of another episode is the still existant, but abandoned, Big Dipper mine, in Placer county, California. Permission was obtained to film the necessary scenes there. An episode was photographed in Oakland. And then the intrepid Von Stroheim led an expedition into Death Valley at the hottest time of the year to make the closing scenes of the story in the actual location described so graphically and vividly by Norris. This expedition made motion picture history, and was the most dangerous and the first of its kind for the purpose of film realism. "Greed" is the story of an excarboy of the Big Dipper mine, who picks up a smattering of crude dentistry from an itinerant dentist, eventually opens his unlicensed office in San Francisco, prospers, marries, and then goes into moral disintegration through the basic avarice of his wife's nature. $50,000 Coffroth Handicap Tomorrow SAN DIEGO, March 28—Saturday dawned bright and clear over Southern California and there was much joy among turf men and the horse loving public at the prospect of fair weather and a slow-to-good track at Tia Juana for the annual running of the $50,000 added Coffroth handicap tomorrow, afternoon.
