MEN GET SET
FOR BIG HUNT

Saturday marks the opening of
the dove season in Southern Cali
fornia, and local sportsmen are get
ting their guns in readiness for the
toothsome game birds reported to
be had in large numbers throughout
the valley. While it is not believed
the season will be opened with any
organized party, due to the fact
that many local hunters plan to
join their families on vacation over
the Labor Day period, small groups
and pairs are planning to make a
trip to the country early Saturday
morning, to. get shot at the birds.
Throughout the fall months, while
the season is on, the doves will pro
vide plenty of sport for valley hunt
ers
Local sporting goods stores re-
port big demand for shells and
believe this will be increased after
the dove season gets under way.
The duck season opens October l.,
and then the real sport for valley
hunters will begin.

TANNING WITH FARRELL
By HENRY L. FARRELL, Omitted Press Sports Editor)

before her reign is over, because in
Helen Wills is represented every
thing that America cherishes as
ideal qualifications in sport where
the ethics are unusually high and
exacting.
The new girl champion is born
tennis player. She took to the
game naturally and instead of be-
ing handicapped by conditions in
the part of her career which forced
her to play with boys her own age
and older, she benefited by it to
vast extent.
Against virile, masculine style
of play she quite naturally was
forced into the same kind of a
game to survive and she built up &
game that is most effective against
woman players.
Tutored by ".Bill" Johnston, one
of the greatest of all players, she
learned much and she acquired more
by studying the strokes and the
tactics of that great little Cali
fornia wizard. Her game is power
full, thorough and sound and from
superficial view there is no defect
in her style. Watching her in her
matches aainst the British players
in the Wightman Cup contests and
later in the national championships,
Wallis Meyers, the foremost author
itv of England, had only one critic
ism of her game.
"She has most wonderful net
game, but she does not seem inclined
to go to the net enough and make
the most of her ability he said.
Others have observed the same
fault. Net players, especially among
the women, are so few that 1t Is
most striking to see player of such
ability staying in the back court
However, it is maintained by some
that she has more effectiveness in
playing as she does.
George Agutter, professional in
structor at the West Side Tennis
Club, believes that she has most
effective style of play. knowing
that her opponents realize the
power and strength of her game
when she comes to the net, she
keeps them constantly under the
mental hazard by staying back
court and coming up only at the
most unexpected moments.
Gin playing against Miss Wills, l
found it very disconcerting to try
and figure when she was coming
up so as TO regulate my game
against her," Agutter said. 'Natur-
allv, under such conditions, it is
hard to- maintain q constant game
against her. If she came to the net
frequently or followed regular
style of attack in coming forward,
it would be easier to meet her game
than to stay back and be forced
into the annoyance of figuring
what she was about to do.
"I asked her what system she
followed in going to the net and she
couldn't It explain. She said she just
went up and she didn't know when
or why

GRADE MAKES
DRIVER DIZZY;
GOOD EXCUSE

G.. C. Baldwin was found not
guilty by jury in Judge May
field s court this morning, follow
ing a hearing on charges of violat-
ing the state motor vehicle act,
preferred by Judge V. n. Thompson.
The latter charged that Baldwin
refused to turn out his truck com
ing down the Mountain Springs
grade yesterday afternoon, and
would not permit him to pass though
he signalled several times that he
wished to go ahead.
Testifying in his own behalf,
Baldwin said the trip was his first
one over the Mountain Springs
grade, and he was unfamiliar with
the road. lie was driving heavy
truck, with a four ton load, and
would not go too close to the edge
of the road fearing he might run
off the grade. He maintained that
as soon as he believed it was safe
to- allow Judge Thompson TO pass
he did so.
To Il charge of driving a truck
without Il 1923 registration card,
Baldwin pleaded guilty and was
fined $25, the court allowing him
one month to pay the fine. He told
Judge Mayfield that he was operat-
ing the truck on shares with the
owner and was unware that it had
not been registered.

A BETTER CLAY
A White, Perfect Clay Did This
By Edna Wallace Hopper

After 40 years as a famous beau
ty, still look like girl. Thousands
who see me daily, on the stage and
elsewhere marvel at my youthful
bloom and contours.
But mine was largely a cultivat-
ed beauty. French beauty experts,
many years ago, taught me how to
do it. And my girlish looks at my
grand old age are due to the helps
FRENCH scientists created.
I have supplied those helps to
countless women, and they secured
like results. Plain women became
beauties. Women old in years have
warded off every sign of age. So
| know these helps can bring to mil
lions what they crave. And | have
decided to supply those helps to all
who wish to use them.
First, NewType Clay
Many years ago French experts
taught me to use clay. They said
that famous beauties of all ages
had employed it.
They then used crude and muddy
clays, like many use today. But
they have since perfected clay by
20 years of scientific study.
BY countless tests they have
found the supreme clay, rare
mineral-laden clay. They have
learned how to refine it, to remove
the useless mud. Ny clay today is
white and clean and dainty. They
have found added factors which
bring new and manifold results.
The clay | now use--my White
Youth Clay-is nothing like the old
time clays. / have used clays for
many years, but no other clay has
ever brought comparable results. ST
now | am having this new-typt
clay made for all who wish to ust
it.

best. 1t brings new beauty, and at
once. Many women, in 80 minutes,
seem to drop ten years. | have
seen it make plain women almost
raving beauties. Clay users stand
out everywhere for their beautiful
compilations.
How it restores and maintains
ones youthful bloom and contour
is shown by my girlish face.
Youth Clay purges the skin of
all that clogs and mars it. 1t acts
to remove the cause of sallowness,
blackheads and blemishes.
1t brings the blood to the skin
to nourish and revive it. That
brings the rosy afterglow, so amaz-
ing when you see it.
1t firms the skin, combats all
lines and wrinkles, reduces enlarg-
ed pores. Thus it gives my skin,
even at my age, the smoothness and
bloom of a girl.
No matter what your age, the
greatest kindness | can do YOU is
to urge you to employ it. If young,
do it for added beauty. If older,
do it to renew your youth.

LEAKING BADLY,

Steamer HOven Hits I'm
charted ShOal Off Low
er California Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, August 90
Struthers and Barry, Inc, oper-
ators of the United States shipping
board tanker Hoven, which struck
an uncharted rock off San Benito
island, coast of Lower California,
shortly after midnight, said at
1920 that they had had no fur
ther word from the vessel since
her messages, sent out about 80 a..
M, that she was headed toward
San Pedro, leaking badly.
Because of the lack of informa-
ton officials were inclined to be-
lieve that the vessel is still in no
danger and able to make headway
toward port.
The vessel which carries crew
of % men, cleared from San Pedro
Monday for New York with 10000
barrels of oil.
The tanker was reported as not
in any immediate danger when the
last messages from her were picked
up shortly before 2 O'Clock this
a., morning.
The sos sent out by the Hoven
was picked up by the Radio Cor
poration of America and broadcast
ed to vessels in those waters. Three
steamers, the Caldas, to the north,
and the Antietam and the Pomona
to the south, reported that they
had altered their courses to bring
them to the aid of the stricken
| vessel.
San Benito Island is about 250
miels south of San Diego. The
Pomona should reach the HOven
! some time during the forenoon and
{ the Caldas about noon, their po-
sitions showed.

PAPYRUS WINS
YORK HANDICAP,
FOUL DECLSIO N
BY United Press Leased Wire

YORK, Eng, August 29.-Papy,
rus was declared the winner of
the Great Ebor Handicap for the
Duke of York stakes here this af-
ternoon, after Craig Eleyr had act
ually finished ahead in the race.
Objection was raised to Craig
Eleyr's victory on the ground of
"boring" during the race.
After conference the judges
awarded the victory to Papyrus.
There was tremendous interest
in the race, as Payrus, winner of
the Derby, has been picked as the
representative three year old to
meet an American horse at Belmont
park next October.
The corrected result as announced
by the judges is Papyrus first,
Concertina second and Tricy Aunt
third.
| Particular interest was attached
to the race because of the plan of
Barney Irish, owner of Papyrus, to
send his horse to the United States
to race America s best at Belmont
park, October 20.
Ranking members of the aristo-
cracy were in attendance. Princess
Mary, who since her marriage has
taken an increasing interested in
the turf, entertained an exclusive
house party at Goldsborough Hall
and, with Viscount Lascelles, was
an interested spectator of the early
morning work of the horses.
Papyrus carried 13S pounds, the
heaviest handicap of any of the
four starters. Craig Eleyr, disqual-
ified carried 118, Concertina 118
and Triey Aunt 127. Ben Irish owns
Papyrus, Lord Astor owns Coneer-
tina and The Agakahn owns Tricy
Aunt. There were only four horses
| in the race.
Boring, for which Craig Eleyr
was disqualified, is the same as
crowding' for which horses and
! jockeys have at times been disci'
plined on American tracks.

Bet Your Money
ght-Dempsey,.
Says Downey
LOS ANGELES, August 29.--

LOS ANGELES, August 90
Although the American public is
all agog over Luis Angel Fir
po, the Argentine terror, there
is doubt in the mind Of Jack
Downey, who once whipped
Jack Dempsey, that Firpo will
ever get by the first round
when he takes the champion on
next month.
''There are two outstanding
weaknesses in the fighting
machinery of Firpo,'' said
Downey. 'He can't box and
he can't hit. Many people be-
lieve he can hit, but man
who can't knock out Homer
Smith in 10 rounds, after
knocking him down 20 times,
can't whip Jack Dempsey.
'I understand from witness
es of the fight that Firpo came
out and led with his right hand,
leaving his left hanging near
his belt. He'll do that just
once when he faces Dempsey.
Firpo gets all muddled up with
his feet. He forgets to keep
the right one back and the left
one in front. This throws
him off balance and makes him
a cinch for a hard accurate
puncher. The talk that the Ar
gentinan can sock so hard as
Jack is all wrong. Bet your
money. right
Downey, who has been out OF
the fight game for several years,
is at present training members
of the Oakland Pacific Coast
League club.

When Dempsey met Jess Willard he
could out-sock any man in the world.
/ did not see him in the Brennan fight
and in his fight with Tom Gibbons,
but was at loss to understand how
Gibbons stayed with him. AS he
socked in Toledo no man nthe world
could stay up in front of him for six
rounds.
Old Strength Missing
After watching him train for three
weeks in Saratoga believe he has lost
his punch because he has lost his
strength, wind and endurance.
Two weeks ago in Schenectady I
was the third man in the ring when
Dempsey boxed an exhibition with
Jules Rioux, his big sparring part
ner. He tried with all his might TO
knock out Rioux with a right cross,
but he could not. I heightened the
last round at his request and he could
not stop him.
Trying TO Be Clever
Dempsey has sidetracked his cave
man stuff and he is trying to be an
artist. Dempsey is not a boxer. His
forte is speed and sock. He has tried
TO make himself clever and he has lost
much of that speed and hitting power.
Dempsey must get back to his To-
ledo form. He has been wasting three
weeks at Saratoga and doing himself
more harm than good. 1 doubt very
much that he can get himself in the
proper shape in another week and
really believe he is going to lose the
fight unless he quits burning himself
out and cOnserves his strength.
