The Red Sox are not claiming a pennant, they are not cevn demanding a place in the first division, but they do hope to do better than they did last year. We are building a new team and reconstruction in baseball is a slow process. It can't be done in one season or two seasons as has been shown by numerous examples. Any place better than seventh will be an improvement for us and I hope that we wake it. We are not pennant contenders, but we may cause some trouble to those that are standing for the championship. KIRBY FREED BY CLEVELAND JURY CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 2—Another chapter in the amazing career of Josiah Kirby, Ohio's financial "wizard", reached a climax today when the master salesman was acquitted by a jury of a technical charge of issuing a false financial statement. The charge against Kirby, who was located in Los Angeles, grew out of an investigation of the Cleveland Discount Co., a $30,000,000 mortgage concern. The company was Kirby's greatest creation and its rapid growth earned Kirby the title of "financial wizard." "WAKING UP THE TOWN" IS A COMEDY Jack Pickford is all set to bring about "Waking Up the Town." It will take place at the United Theatre. PROFESSIONALS IN MARKET TODAY NEW YORK, April 2—Professionals in today's session on the stock exchange attempted to start a renewal of the decline in the general list but resumption of the rally in the late afternoon proved that stocks in weak hands had been fairly well eliminated by the recent break. Failure to force liquidation was particularly significant in view of the weakness in wheat. Since the decline in grain was not followed by stocks it became increasingly evident that selling for the accounts of western speculators had run its course. CHICAGO FRUIT AUCTION CHICAGO, April 2—Oranges strong, 15c higher on best; beat $4.30 to $6.75; medium $3.65 to $5.90; lemons 15c lower; best $4.40 to $5.50; medium $3.85 to $4.50.

Those who will aid materially are Vernon Keays, Norma Shearer, James Dugan, Arthur Edeson, Alec B. Francis, Herbert Shearer, Ann May, George Dromgold and Claire McDowell. Most of the preliminary work was done at the Picklief-Fairbanks Studios in Hollywood. However, many trips were made to Sunland, near Los Angeles where Alec B. Francis and Jack Picklief looked through a telescope located in an observatory in the top of a tree. Arthur Edeson, Douglas Fairbanks’ cameraman, made a photographic record of their activities while Vernon Keays, assisted by James Dugan, issued the necessary directions. Lest there be undue alarm, let it be understood that “Waking Up the Town” is merely the name of a motion picture. With the exception of Keays and Dugan; the other persons mentioned above are players in the cast. Keays directed it in conjunction with Mr. Picklief and Dugan assisted. It will be at the United Friday and Saturday. FEW FARMERS HAVE NEEDED TRAINING Only a little over one per cent of 1,000,000 people engaged in agriculture whose records have been investigated have received the special training necessary therefore, H. L. Burden of the high school told the Pireside club last evening. His topic was Vocational Guidance. Every high school graduate should be able to sell himself in the world market, he averred.

Poultry: Prices unchanged. GRAINS OFF SHARPLY CHICAGO, April 2.—All grain sold of sharply on the board of trade today. May wheat was the leader, selling off 6½ cents from yesterday’s close. Spirited selling of wheat was in response to general bearish influences that emanated from all corners of the globe. Crops everywhere were favorable. In the southwest rains that fell during the night were of vast benefit to the dry area. Despite the sharp break in cash demanded was negligible. Oats suffered under similar fluences. Provisions were lower. LIBERTY BONDS NEW YORK, April 2.—First 4¼s 101.21; second 4¼s 100.31 third 4¼s 101.17; fourth 4¼s 101.31; new 4¼s 104.29. REALTY OFFICER COMES NEXT WEEK Anaheim realtors next Wednesday will hear one of the officers of the State Real Estate Association speak on a topic of current interest it was announced at yesterday’s luncheon, held in the Legi auxiliary rooms. W. J. Elliott will attend the conference in San Diego Saturday; reality board representatives Speakers from all over the state will make addresses. No action was taken on a quest of the C. of C that the local realty board participate in a C. C membership contest for a prize. The Board will accept the invitation of the Harbor Commission to enjoy a trip about harbor and dinner at te Newport Harbor club club in the near future. “GREED” AT CALIFI Believing that the public ready and eager for the realistic presentation of an American literary classic, Erich von Strohe produced “Greed,” showing at California for the final times night his adaptation for Met Goldwyn-Mayer, of Frank Norris “Meague”, without an important deviation from this power story of American life. The goers who know Norris’s novel the San Francisco dentist and wife will see “Meague” brought literally to life. Only two charms have been made—the substitute of “Greed” as the screen title partial modernizing of the backgrounds. LOS ANGELES, April 2.—Jack Dempsey was back at his movie job today after showing a few thousand spectators that he hasn't entirely forgotten how to use his hands in the manly art. Dempsey boxed three rounds against Lee Moore, a lightweight, at yesterday's Navy Day program of sports in the Coliseum. The champion looked fast with his 16-ounce gloves and later, in a wrestling match with Bull Montana, seemed in good condition. Navy athletes went through their contests but the outstanding events were the exhibitions. Bud Houser broke a record when he hurled the discus 174 feet 6½ inches from a 7-foot ring; but since that type of ring isn't used in regular competition, the new mark doesn't mean much. Keith Lloyd, ineligible U.S.C. sprinter, toured 100 yards in 9-10 seconds. Pittsburgh and Los Angeles were to begin a two-game exhibition series today. The pirate were nosed out by the Vernon Tigers yesterday after the Coast Leagueers had landed on Yde for four runs in the seventh and on Kremer for two more in the ninth. Dode Bercot, who won two sensational fights from Bobby Barrett, has been signed to meet Mushy-Caliahan in Hollywood on April 10. Eddie Huffman won the referee decision in a 10-round bout with Jack Lee at Wilmington last night. The Navy light heavyweight champion evened a previous beating by piling up a decisive lead in the last half of the bout. Mike Hector knocked out Don Downey in the third round of their scheduled 10-rounder. Hector is the Navy's middleweight king. Ritchie King, featherweight title-holder among Uncle Sam's sea forces, outpointed Pico Ramies over the same route. FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS SAN FRANCISCO — California Joe Lynch easily beat Sydney White in ten rounds here last night. White's best round was the sixth which was even. Billy Mizer and almost as easy a time with Johnny Mendez in another 10 rounder. Benny Leonard's voluntary retirement as champion of the world has resulted in great activity in the lightweight division. Here are four of the prominent contenders. At the top (right) is Jimmy Valves of New York, who won his way into the third round by outpelling Alex Hart. At the bottom (right) is Jimmy Mendez, the fasty Chicago boxer, who first withdrew the tournament but reconceived and drew a bye in the round. At the bottom (left) Joe Benjamin of California defeated Silvers in a bolt 10, which should represent the Coast in the tourney. At the left) is Jimmy Goodrich of California for the final match "McTeague", without an important deviation from this power story of American life. The goers who know Norris's novel, will see "McTeague" broadly literally to life. Only two characters have been made—the substitutes of "Greed" as the screen title of partial modernizing of the backgrounds. ESSIONALS IN MARKET TODAY NEW YORK, April 2—Professional's session on the change attempted to start of the decline in the but resumption of the late afternoon proved in weak hands and well eliminated by the break. To force liquidation was very significant in view of excess in wheat. Since the grain was not followed it became increasingly at selling for the accline western speculators hadourse.

BLOCK RICKARD IN BIG MATCHES NEW YORK,. April 2—Renewed activity by the business rivals of Tex Rickard caused him to lose the Gibbons-Tunney match and have blocked him in the attempt to make other big matches. Rickard had been allowed to do business without much interference until he stepped on some powerful toes, when he secured the boxing privileges at the Yankee stadium. Since then he had has nothing but trouble. His plans have been upset and he may not be able to get a really big bout for the season. The action of the New York boxing commission in placing Jack Dempsey on the ineligible list made it impossible for Rickard to arrange a Dempsey-Gibbons or a Dempsey-Wills contest in New York and the commission's new rule that a licensed promoter in New York could not talk business with a suspended or ineligible boxer left Rickard unable to make any matches for his Jersey City arena. The action against Dempsey, it is understood from reliable sources, was a political slap at Dempsey and Rickard. The sudden change in the chairmanship, the sudden action on the Dempsey case and other moves made it look like orders had come from other places. Rickard was trying to match Harry Wills and Tom Gibbons and it looked like a match would be staged for the benefit of the milk fund when all negotiations were stopped suddenly. The match the blew up and Jimmy Deforest signed Gibbons to fight Tunney. Around The COURT HOUSE WEST COAST CALIFORNIA Matinee Daily 2:50 Evenings 7 VAUDI FIVE CLASSY A JOE DEVLIN & CO.

Connor, were made defendants in a suit for $55,166 damages filed in the Superior court at Santa Ana today by Alex Hecq, who alleges injuries to that extent in an accident a year ago today on the highway between Los Alamitos and Long Beach. Connor was driving a Riverside-coar at the time it crashed into Hecq, who was at the rear of his machine repairing it, the suit maintains. Mary Jane Fields seeks clear title to a lot at Brea, to which she asserts Josephine Connor and others, as heirs of the late Thomas G. Connci, claim some interest. Accused of stealing a radio, typewriter and other articles from the home at Garden Grove of M. G. Harris, last December, James Lauri, 25, a lineman for the Edison company at Santa Ana, was arrested today by Ed McClellan, chief criminal deputy.

Frost of Los Angeles today had resulted in the arrest of Bowers on a charge of embezzlement, and his subsequent release by Justice K. E. Morrison on his own recognition. Bowers took the ring as security, he told the court; and after demanding that Frost repay him and reclaim his ring, fate took a hand and Bowers lost the ring. E. Marcis, arrested near Garden Grove today pleaded not guilty to a charge of possessing liquor and was given the choice by Justice K. E. Morrison of paying a $300 fine or going to jail for 200 days. Unable to raise the money, Marcis went to jail. Miss Alta LaGorge's suit to recover $30,000 damages from Geo.

The Great Divide AND Big Vaudeville Act CHAPMAN CLOSES HIS OWN DEFENSE HARTFORD, Conn., April 2. Gerald Chapman, "ace of crooks" closed his own defense on a murder charge here today and arguments will begin this afternoon. By tomorrow the jury which Chapman himself picked may be considering the evidence. Chapman, sitting in the witness chair, with a perfect "poker face," quietly answered questions, made a categorical denial of all the charges against him and waxed sarcastic on cross examination. "I changed my name just like I do my collar," he told prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn, who became inquisitive about his many names. Once he said when his lawyer objected to a question: "Let them ask me. I'll tell them." He wound up his testimony with a statement to the jury made voluntarily and with the same characteristic daring which had marked him either as innocent or as one of the greatest of bluffers. What the world needs is an international devastated area to knockout bill at California. "The Flying Howards" of "Aerial Thrills," and act full of sensations. They do a routine of ring, cuts and catches and balancing that is nothing short of marvelous. "Mills and Trevor" in "Oh Elmer" have a comedy offering that will surely make you laugh. It is full of snap and jolity. "La Vern" and his Seven Syncopators are umbered among the few bands that have mastered the art of syncopation. The novelties presented by these seven artists are different. Mr. La Verne does a beautiful soot on his violin and Mr. Dick Murray who has a very pleasing voice sings a specialty number. There is certainly a knockout bill of Vaudeville and pictures booked for the California Theatre Friday and Saturday. Every one of the five big acts is a real headline direct from big time houses. "Joe Delvin" presents his "Musical Moments" in the way of a surprise act which is out of the ordinary. The young lady in the act is a clever comedienne. "Bell and Bedell" in presenting "A Novelty Surprise" incorporate a series of well executed tricks of skillful balancing and wire walking that is both thrilling and entertaining. "The Speed Spook," featuring Johnny Hines, which is the photo-plaw feature for Friday and Saturday, has been pronounced by reviewers as the outstanding thrill picture of the year. Aside from the many thrills obtained from the championship auto race which filmed last June at the Altcoo Speedway, the speed spook car, which races roughshod without a driver through the village of Westwood and causes consternation among the townsfolk, is enough to cause any number of thrills to run down the proverbial spine. What with these thrills and another in which an armored car smashes through the wall of an arsenal, "The Speed Spook" certainly has every right to be called a real thrill production. An Aesop Fables and a story of the Navy. "The Shakedown Cruise," completes the program. "GREAT DIVIDE" COMING TO CALIF. MAY HARNISH It has been discovered that portions of metal exposed to ultraviolet rays may become tarnished while other portions not so exposed or not. The World Court won't be needed if we can have a little more world courting. Monument Unveiled in Germany al has just been unveiled in Munich.

The un do my collar, he told prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn, who becamequisitive about his many names. Once he said when his lawyerobjected to a question: "Let them ask me, I'll tell them." He wound up his testimony with a statement to the jury made voluntarily and with the same characteristic daring which had marked him either as innocent or as one of the greatest of bluffers. What the world needs is an international devastated area to remain as a reminder. "GREAT DIVIDE" COMING TO CALIF. Reginald Barker directed "The Great Divide," which comes to the California Theatre for next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It is one of the outstanding successes of the American stage and is one of the largest productions on the 1924-25 Metro-Goldwyn program. The picture for the most part was filmed in Arizona, the locale of the romance. Mr. Barker was particularly pleased with the assignment, for he was stage director for Henry Miller when the latter triumphed in the William Vaughn Moody play, and ever since he entered motion pictures he has wanted to present it on the screen. After considering a number of prominent men and women for the two leading roles, Alice Terry and Conway Tearle were selected. They represent the ideal types for the roles of Ruth Jordon and Stephen Ghent, and are worthy of carrying successfully two such prominent and significant parts. "Kirkwood and Williams" in "So This is Mexico" is the big novelty vaudeville act Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. In this is given an animated lesson in how to become a cowboy. They have a special stage setting and display a sterling exhibition of whip cracking and rope spinning. A Felix Cat Cartoon, another of the Cross Word Puzzles and a late issue of the International News complete a wonderful program.
