Stephen McKeever, 71, was held a half interest with his brother, is now the only living owner. It is very doubtful that he will care to assume the responsibilities as he has been little more than a silent partner. Following the death of Charley H. Ebbetts, it was reported that the McKeever brothers would buy his holdings in the club and became sole owners. It understood now that the Ebbetts state cannot take over the other half interest in the team at that it will be sold. Many prominent New York sportsmen have been mentioned as probable purchasers. George M. Cohan, promising theatrical man and a great baseball fan is being mentioned as a purchaser. He has been waiting to get into baseball years and now has the opportunity as his theatrical activities have been curtailed greatly. Since 1916 the owners of Brooklyn team have made small fortune. The team patronage almost as good as New York Giants and the property upon which the ball field is located, is one of the most valuable tracts in the residential district of Flatbush. HOOT GIBSON IN REAL THRILLER Never before has a picture been made in such an elaborate atmosphere as "Let 'er Buck". Hoot Gibson special, which will be the featured attraction at the United Theater on Friday and Saturday. And all because this production was made in Pendleton, Oregon, while that city's famous Annual Roundup was in progress. In consequence there was available for atmospheric purposes, a collection of the most skilled cowboys, the most vicious bucking horses, the danger-wiest steers and a host of other elements all of championship standing when it comes to sports on the cattle range. Many of the daily events on the three day program were filmed into the action of the picture story, and there are times when the film shows the entire huge arena, with horses sending cowboys flying thru the air, steers being roped and bulldogged, the while thousands upon thousands looked on from the grandstands. Many of the Universal ranch riders, who were with the Gibson unit entered the championship contests, some of them former champions in the Roundup. The supporting cast of "Let 'er Buck" includes Marion Nixon, Josie Sedgwick, G. Raymond Nye, Charles French and William Steele. Also on this program for Friday and Saturday, will be seen the second chapter of that intensely interesting chapter play, story of the early gold rush days, "Idaho." WARRANTS ISSUED FOR GOV.'S SEC'Y.

WEDS WOMAN WHO WAS SUING HIM SAN FRANCISCO, April 30— Watching Scoreboard Yesterday's heroes—The Detroit Tigers, after dropping seven straight games, finally won one, beating the Browns 11 to 5. Geo. Sisler hit safely in his 15 consecutive game.

Thomahlen, Ruh, Hubbell and Oeschger couldn't hold the Braves in check and the Robins were dropped by a score of 10 to 3. U.S. UNAFFECTED BY RUHR DISPUTE WASHINGTON, April 30—Any dispute between Germany and the Allies concerning continued French occupation of the Stuhr as affected by Hindenburg election, will not concern the United States, a high official of the administration indicated today. Referring to the Dawes plan and the London agreement providing for the evacuation of the Stuhr before next August, this official said that the United States government had no formal connection with or responsibility for the Dawes plan or the London agreement and its provisions. This government did not sign the London agreement and in signing the latter Paris agreement obligated itself merely to accept payment from Germany without becoming in any way responsible for the collection of reparations, according to the view expressed. WASHINGTON, April 30—The state department is not expected to act directly upon the question of felicitating Field Marshal Von Hindenburg on his election as president of Germany, it was learned today. Unless an unforeseen factor arises, the United States charge d'affaires in Berlin will be allowed to decide without instructions from Washington and to join with the representatives of other powers there in felicitating or not felicitating Von Hindenburg upon his inauguration.

AVOCADO THEFT RING BROKEN UP Conviction of Diego Marquez, the fourth prisoner to come before the justice court at Santa Ana on a charge of stealing avocados from Orange-co ranchers, marked the progress today of the drive headed by Deputy Sheriff Dan Adams on a purported ring believed to have been broken up. Marquez was tried with Jose Garcia, against whom the same testimony was given, but the latter was acquitted. Both were charged with stealing in all about 350 pounds of avocadoes from the ranch at Tustin of James Utt. The product was traced to the Los Angeles market by Deputy Adams, who had the co-operation of the Avocado Growers' Ass'n. Four of five men nabbed by Adams have been convicted.

"As Man Desires" is drama with action and punch. In the role of Captain John Craig, a British army surgeon stationed in India, Milton Sills is in a characterization such as we like to see him. Sills was in his element in "The Sea Hawk" as a gentleman pirate, the scourge of the seven seas. He is just as well cast as the embittered soldier who, falsely accused or murdered, flees to the South Sea Islands to hide and to forget. Co-featured with him is Viol Dana in a most charming and acceptable part, that of a bewitching and flirtatious native dancing girl. A Cameo Comedy, International News and special musical numbers by Geo. E. Turner, concert organist completes the program. Around The COURT HOUSE The estate of Mrs. Emma E. McGavern, who died at her home near Anaheim, Oct. 6, is valued at $40,000, and consists of a ten-acre grove, according to a petition asking administration, filed today by a son, Leo E. McGavern. Other heirs are the husband, Jos. R. McGavern, and a daughter, Mrs. Myrtle E. Tredway, of Modesto. The city of Orange, named defendant in a suit filed today, will be asked to explain why a piece of property owned by I. Honey was assessed at $860, while another piece of property adjoining it and of equal size and identical in improvement and quality is asserted to have been assessed at less than $100. Proof that the county, notwithstanding previous announcement, is not going to abandon its effort to obtain a right of way so the state can improve, the proposed coast highway from Laguna Beach to Serra, was seen today in the filing in superior court of a condemnation suit against H. A. Stew. WONDER WHISTLER AT CALIFORNIA There are five very clever acts in the big vaudeville road show at the California theater Friday and Saturday. They come here from big time bookings where they have all scored phenomenal success. Bascope, the "Wonder Whistler," is without doubt the beat whistles in the world, as he whistles in five distinct tones. He also has a very road singing voice. Book and Barry in "The Wise Number," are a pair of clever entertainers who have a novel offering. They present bits of everything in their bright skit in a manner that will certainly make a hit. Druet, Kramer and Gruet offer "A Circus Day in Georgia," a splendid lbt of entertainment in which comedy and music predominate. They have a combination of excellent instrumental numbers, graceful dancing, and the shappiest kind of comedy. Silvers and Ross in "You'd Be Surprised" is an act built specially for laughing purposes. These two clever comedians are the hit of any show with their clever songs, classy dances and comedy talk. The Crawfords present "Ddds and Ends," a novel combination act of slack wire walking juggling, tumbling and trapeze work. Remember the Scarecrow? and the Tin-Man? and Little Dorothy? and the Lion? and the Wizard? and the cyclone and all the other thrills and fun in the land of Oz? Well, they are all brought to life in the Chadwick Pictures Corporation screen version of the word's most famous fantastic spectacle, L. Frank Baum's "Wizard of Oz" which is the feature photoplay for Friday and Saturday. This famous story has been familiar to the world for twenty years. Adults have been fascinated and charmed with its whimsical humor which is worry of the pen of a Barrie; children have been delighted with it, reading it again and again. MONTEREY—Presidio is today looking forward to a new commandant after June 15. Word was received here said Col. Leon B. Kromer, recent graduate of the army War college at Washington, has been assigned to succeed Col. H. J. Brees, who leaves to go on the General staff and command the school at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. There's one good thing about an off season for Congress, Mr. Dawes can catch up with his sleep. Prize-winning poems and stories indicate that one art in need of development is that of judging. A Class Ad will bring you results. HICH DESTROYED RIST BUSES Proof that the county, notwithstanding previous announcement, is not going to abandon its effort to obtain a right of way so the state can improve the proposed coast highway from Laguna Beach to Serra, was seen today in the filing in superior court of a condemnation suit against H. A. Stewart and Roy L. Taylor, owners who previously had refused to give deeds. Under sentence to spend the next six months in the county jail following finding of a still on his place at Lemon Heights, John Loporto, giving his residence at Anaheim, entered the county jail today. A marriage license was issued to George Thomas, 21, of Fullerton, and Ruth J. Bump, 18, of Whittler. Mrs. Elizabeth Rabe of Santa Ana did not sanction religion and she ridiculed him and forbade him saying his prayers with their children at night, John F.
