UNITED THEATRE Tonight and Saturday JACK PICKFORD in "WAKING UP THE TOWN" By James Cruze and Frank Gordon featuring Norma Shearer and an ALL STAR CAST including Alec B. Francis, Herbert Pryor, Claire Mc Dowell, Ann May WILLIAM DESMOND in "THE RIDDLE RIDER" APRIL FOOL COMEDY PRICES: 10c, 20c, 30c RABBITS INJURY HANDICAP TO CUBS By BILL KILLEFER (Manager of the Chicago Cubs) There is no doubt that the injury to Rabbit Maranville will handicap the Cubs in the early part of the season but we hope that he will not be out of the game as long as the doctors said and we expect to have him ready for duty by June 1. When the injured was made last winter in which the Cubs got Maranville, Grimm and Copper from the Pirates, we figured we had corrected every weakness on the club. There was no doubt that we had strengthened the team and it looked like we had a real pennant contender. I still think we have a chance for the pennant but I am not claiming any SPLENDID PROGRAM AT UNITED THEATER Jack Pickford's new starring vehicle, "Waking Up the Town" will be the feature at United Theater on Friday and Saturday. This play, in which a predicted coming of the end of the world serves to push the hero to success in spite of himself, presents a decidedly novel plot developments. There are many amusing situations, and the love interest is absent in the three cornered battle of hearts which is one of the features of the picture. In no recent film offering has there been the incidental comedy that this picture provides. The sequence in which the end of the world is shown is intensified by its surprise ending, and the way in which the hero is tricated from his dilemma is credit to both author and the stars GIRLS B. B. TEAM FIGHT FOR TITLE Only four games now stand between Miss Jaques' baseball wonders and the county championship and Anaheim Hi must win them all. The girls' coach is hopeful still of victory. Anaheim plays two league games next week here. Orange on Tuesday and Tustin on Thursday If Santa Ana beats Huntington Beach Wednesday at Santa Ana and Anaheim beats both these teams the locals will annex another county title. The girls' game against Orange which was to have taken place last evening instead of next Tuesday was replaced by a practice came between the first and second teams, the former winning. This afternoon the Santa Ana girls will come here for a practice game. Coach Fitzmorris this week has been conserving the energies of his boys for the track meet tomorrow at Tustin. As already announced Fitz hopes to land four or five first places, with Holden Dumke, Holder, Ralph Jabs and Lenz doing the starring. Assistant Coach Sutherland's freshman tenensi stars humbled Fullerton freshmen there yesterday four to two. Winners were Helling, 10-2; Rausch 10-6; Martinez 10-4 and Myers 10-0. Today the varsity boys will play Fullerton Junior College boys at Fullerton and the varsity girls Orange here. Anaheim captured six out of seven matches Wednesday in the boys' varsity tournament here against Orange. The boys' second team tied 2-2 with Tustin at Tustin. The membership of the boys and girls' varsity tennis team hasn't yet been settled, says Sutlair. MATT MOORE IN DELIGHTFUL FILM The patron of United Theater are in for a real treat in "The Narrow Street" something delightfully different in motion pictures which is to be the attraction at that popular playhouse Sunday and Monday. Matt Moore and Dorothy Devore are the co-stars. Being a comedy, it still avoids the rough and fumble stuff that cheapens a photoplay. From start to finish the question of who the lovely runaway is and where she comes from is kept a few jumps ahead of the story, which concerns itself with the ridiculous aspect of being the bachelor husband of the girl, that's here today, some tomorrow and back again the next day. Matt Moore gives a splendid performance in the role of the bachelor, and as a charming contrast Dorothy Devore will win many new friends, very capable fast assists these two stars.

Hudson fought the full four rounds, which was concluded a draw. A large number of Anaheimers were in attendance. CLAIMS GIBBONS, WILLS OLD MEN LOS ANGELES, April 3.—Scornfully describing Henry Wills and Tommy Gibbons as "quabbling old men," Jimmy Daugherty telegraphed a double challenge to the New York Boxing Commission today on behalf of his 25-year-old colored heavyweight, George Godfrey. The boxing commission is find ing that it is almost impossible to get these two rheumatic old gentlemen to agree on a match," said the noted referee and manager, "I have a novel proposition to make: I will let Godfrey fight both of them same night. Each bout must go at least six rounds. What explanation can Dempsey make of his actions toward Godfrey? He has consistently refused to give Godfrey any consideration. He has turned down several attractive offees. He knows what would happen." Daugherty closed with Jack Doyle of Vernon today for a match between Godfrey and Sam Baker, giant neqro heavyweight of this city. Don Shields, San Francisco ball park matchmaker, tentative closed with Daugherty today for a match between Godfrey and an unnamed opponent at San Francisco late in June. STOCK TRADERS CONFUSED TODAY NEW YORK, April 3.—Speculative sentiment was in a confused state today. About the only point on which a remblance of unanimity existed was that a period of quietness would be a good thing for the market. This viewpoint was reflected in the trading fraternity's reluctance to take a definite position. Renewed weakness in wheat checked attempts by constructive interests to revive bullish enthusiasm in groups like the oils and motors but the selling of grain was no longer effective as a weapon for stock exchange bears and efforts to force prices down to this basis fell flat. The general list made a gratifying response to an increase in the $4 Allis-Chalmers dividend to a $6 basis, announced in the late afternoon. Another bulldish point was a drop in call money to 3½ per cent in the late afternoon which produced an atmosphere of relative cheerfulness in the final trading. For the first time since the presidential election trading for a full five-hour session fell below 1,000,000 shares. The volume of transactions totalled only $18,800 shares. Sales since November 3, 1924 up to and including yesterday had exceeded 1,000,000 for 112 consecutive days.

Unusually good weather during a training season helped the teams to get into advanced condition and but them in shape for the fast start that will be an important factor in deciding the penant in each league. The Cubs are badly handicapped by the crippling of Rabbit Carrville, who broke his leg in training game. Frank Frisch and Freddy Lindstrom, two of the stars of the New York Giants, were injured but they will be ready to start the season. In the exhibition games against formidable competition the Giants have shown the best form. The team advanced so quickly, in fact, that John McGraw had to order them to slow up to abolish the danger of going stale. Too much stock cannot betaken, however, in the form shown in these exhibition games and much depends upon the polley of the management. It will be recalled that the Brooklyn Robins looked like one of the worst teams in the Major League last year in their games against the New York Yankees and that the Yankees looked like sure American League champions.

The players laughed when asked about earlier stories that the Babe was a fat old man, that he had only one more year of Major League baseball in him and that he wasn't taking care of what he had. The Babe is hitting .480 in the spring games against the Brooklyn Robins and the Yankees have been looking at some good pitching. He has changed his style of batting slightly with a view of placing his hits. Ruth has been bothered some with his legs but he claims that it is the result of playing so many games on southern ball fields where soil is soft and sandy.
