 at The Lyric

An unusual motion picture of jungle savage beasts in action is due for it's first showing at Lyric tomorrow. It is "Bring Elm Back Alive" visualizing the iadventureA of Frank Buck in fetching the larg- est and most ferocious wild beasts from the jungle to the zoos of the world.
 Tho picture shows, among other events, stalking, preying, froth- ing female tiger cut a tiny baby elephant off from it's mother. The baby pachyderm is no higher from the ground than a medium sized police dog. Still whimpering for its mothers milk 1t senses danger. Its miniature trunk trumpets an sos for mama. The tiger relentless, tireless, intent on the kill, lopes along. The wee elephant runs this way and that. It turns .. 1t scampers to the brush wild with terror while the tiger enemy trails it with, drooling tongue and barred fangs.
 Second feature-"Life Begins'' featuring Eric Linden in which he has the role of Loretta Young's husband, is a powerfully realistic story, true to life down to the smallest detail. The script has been read and approved for it's fidelity to fact by the person who, in Fries opinion, is the best qualified authority on the subject within the limits of his acquaintance--his mother.

"Flesh," with Wallace Beery as star, opens Sunday at the Poli Palace theater.
 Beery has a powerful role, com edy and pathos giving him plen- teous opportunity to display his versatile talents, in this story of the wrestling ring.
 It will be recalled that Beery scored the biggest hit of his career in another drama of the sport world, "The Champ" In recogni- ton of the popularity of this type of role, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer se- lected Flesh" as his new vehicle.
 Beery's Strongest Role
 While retaining the virility of the prize-ring story, this vivid drama of another phase of sport has in it the colorfulness of Beery's portrayal in "The Big House." plus something of his charaoterizations in Grand Hotel" "
 As Herr Polikai, Beery plays a wrestling waiter in Q German beer garden, where he meets and mar ries Karen Morley, an American girl who has been abandoned by her dancing partner, Ricardo Cor tez. He becomes wrestling cham pion of Germany, and then comes to the United States to seek the worlds title. There he and the girl become entangled in the scheming of Miss Mor1ey's former lover, who tries to make Polikai accept the dictatioh of Q crooked wrestling ring.

Hollywood.-Cl Bow again has ascended the throne as queen of Hollywood's red heads.
 After seeing her new film, "Call Her Savage" I am convinced she is back on the screen for quite a long sojourn.
 There was time when Clara sat on the top most pinnacle of filmdom. For two years she led all others at the box office. Whether she again will reach that spot is matter for speculation. But it Is safe bet that she will go far.
 Taking the picture as a whole, there isn't great deal that can be said for Gall Her Savage" Per- sonally I think 1t was the wrong vehicle with which to start her out. In the early reels particularly there was too much of 8 tendency to capitalize on her sex appeal. But with all that, she does better job of acting than I've ever seen her do. And she looks grand. A years rest has done her no end of good. Although grown-up in mannerisns, she is younger than before in ap- pearance.
 Hollywood is looking for Mar lene Dietrich and Joef won Stern

UNION
COACH ISSUES
PRACTICE CALL

First practice for Central Union
high schools football squad will be
held on Monday, according to
Coach r. M. Armstrong, who ex-
poets the largest turnout of candi-
dates In the history of the school.
A heavy demand is seen for equip
ment, and the coach is figuring on
at least 10 answering the call.
Most of the candidates will be
inexperienced and the coachs work
is cut out for him as many good
players were lost from last years
championship team. Out of 18
lettermen on last years squad, II
will be missing.
Among these are West, Fisher,
Cosby ends; Butler, Keesee, Tack
EFT, tackles; Hartsog, Edgar, Reed,
center; Templeton, guard; Price,
quarterback.
Couch and Byrd, both guards, are
the only returning linesmen. Both
are good men and held their own
on last years crack team. In the
backfield, Maiden, Swink, Jones,
halfbacks; Berry, fullback, and
OGuin, quarterback, are the vet
eran players. Only Price will be
missing from last years star back
field
Although the first practice call
has not yet been issued, some of the
prospective candidates are already
working out, getting into shape for
the hard grind ahead. Madlem has
been reporting twice daily for
practice and should be one of the
leading backfield stars in the val
ley this season. Football followers
picked him last year as somebody
to watch, and with the experience
he gained he ought to be hard
dose for Central's opponents to
take this year

YANKEES CLINCH
LEAGUE PENNANT
FOR THIS YEAR
Defeat OF Cleveland Yes,
terday Makes Mccarthy
Men Champions.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA. U.P)-The
New York Yankees have clinched
the American league pennant and
returned to the championship
heights from which they were
shaken three years ago by Connie
Mack's great Philadelphia team.
When the Yanks defeated Cleve-
land, 9 to 3, yesterday for their
Tooth victory of the season it gave
New York's American league club
its seventh pennant in the last IL
years.
The Yanks finished their pen
nant drive twelve and one-half
games ahead of the runnerup Ath-
letics, last years champions, and
in position where they now can
lose all of their remaining IL games
without being beaten out.
Manager Joe Mccarthy has
gained the distinction of being the
first pilot ever to lead teams to
championships in both big leagues.
He won the National league pen
nant without being blanked during
the campaign. They have played
las games without being shut out.
Mccarthy hopes that this sea-
sons success will pave the way for
a series of Yankee pennants such
as was achieved by the late Miller
Higgins who led the Yanks to
championships in 1921-22-23 and
again in 1926-27-28.
The one missing note during the
decisive game was the inability of
Babe Ruth to join in or witness
the climax of the campaign in
which he had played such an i'm
portant part. However the players
rejoiced at the news that the Babe
probably would join them in the
world series.
Washington Loses
Washington lost a chance to
gain on the idle Athletics when they
dropped a 4 to l decision to the
White Sox.
Bump Hardley limited the tail
end Red Sox to five safeties. while
the Browns won, 9 to 4. They were
the only games scheduled in the
American league
In the National league, the lead
ing Chicago Cubs extended their
advantage to five and one-half
games over the runnerup Pirates
by splitting twin bill with the
Giants. Chicago won the opener,
3 to l, but dropped the nightcap,
3 to 2.
The third place Dodgers advanced
to within three and one-half games
of the Pirates by taking both ends
of double-header from the Card
lnals, 6 to 5, in 10 innings, and
3 to 1, while Pittsburgh was

AMATEUR GOLF
SURVIVORS ARE
WELL MATCHED
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

BALTIMORE COUNTRY CLUB,
Md, Sept. IA. - This black We'd
nesday of the United States anna
teur golf championship found a
field so evenly divided in strength
that the customary laborious pro-
cess of seeding had been dispensed
with when it began two rounds of
match play. These Sudden death"
rounds were to be of 18 holes each.
Before nightfall, the field of 80
players who survived the hectic
qualifying tests will be reduced to
eight who will carry on in quest
of the title now owned by Francis
Ouimet, of Brooklyn, Mass.
Usually, the brass hats of the
United States Golf association, with
the qualifying rounds complete, go
into protracted huddle out of
which emerges the so-called seeded
list. This list contains the names
of the brightest stars in order of
their brilliance. The names are
placed in favored positions SO the
big boys don't knock each other off
in the first round. However many
of the 1882 qualifiers are golfers
with nothing serious in the way of
regulations.
So Herbert H. (Tack) Ramsay,
who's president, and Secretary
Prescott Bush, along with some
other golf association executives,
threw up their hands in minor
disgust and major despair and de-
cided to let everybody, from Ouimet
on down, play what is known as
scratch.
Names were drawn from Ram
says sailor straw and the plan was
scarcely effective for in the first
round played this morning two of
the aces who qualified will meet in
a hand to hand combat. They are
the Champion Ouimet and that
veteran internationaliSt George
Voigt, of New York.
Feature Players Meet
Other feature matches of the
morning were John Fischer, inter-
collegiate champion and the record
equalling medalist who scored 142
against Lawson Little, of San
Francisco, the extremely deliberate
and equally dependable links foe
man; Gus Moreland, the Texan,
against Emmett Spicer, another
southerner from Memphis, and
Johnny Goodman of Omaha,
against Chandler Egan, former
champion.
Gallery favoritism and expert
opinion favored Moreland to emerge
from the upper half of the brackets
to play the final match against
Fischer or Charley Seaver of Los
Angeles who are in the lower
bracket which includes Ouimet,
Voigt, Egan, who plays Goodman
in the first round, along with Eric
McRuvie, sole British qualifier
first round opponent of Charley
Yates, of Georgia Tech.
On Thursday the eight survivors
will play quarter-final matches OF
SO holes, with semi-finals on Fri
day and finals on Saturday.

MACK AND MACK
CRUSH CREAMERY
TO WIN PENN Ant

Mack and Mack won the 1892
Ell Centric night ball league cham
pionship with a devastating 8 to 2
triumph over the Golden State
creamery at Wilson field last night.
Superb pitching by Bob OBrien
and inefficient pitching by Joe
Hurst were keynotes of the Mack
success. Last night marked the
second series game in which
O'Brien outpitched Hurst. The
Mack hurler allowed but three hits,
two of them scratches.
In the seventh inning seven
Mackmen crossed the plate and
proved to be the undoing of the
creamery pennant aspirations. At
that time the creamery held a 2
to l lead and Hurst had held the
Macks to one hit.
Jimmie Holcomb led both teams
at the plate with three hits.
OBrien was easily the hero of
the series. He was followed close
ly by Wakefield, whose fielding up
to last night was excellent, and
by Dugan and Holcomb, who each
made six hits. IAItG
Despite Hursts phenomenal mas
terpiece in the third game, he un-
doubtedly was the goat of the series.
He pitched his two worst games
of the entire season in the series
just ended.
Brawley comes down tonight and
tomorrow night to complete her
three-game series with the Ell Cen
tro All-Stars. The invaders hold
one-game lead after having de-
I feated the locals at Brawley on
Monday night. Howecer, Hurst will
be on the mound tonight and can
not help being better than he was
last night.
