THREE GAMES
At GRIFFITH
STADIUM
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

BILOXI, Miss, March 3l.-
Counting tomorrow's game with
the Brooklyn Dodgers at the
Biloxi stadium, the Griffs face
10 more exhibition contests be-
fore the opening of the regular
season, april IL against the BoS-
ton Red Sox.
Saturday, the first of the barn
Storming encounters is scheduled.
1t is to be played with the Chatta-
nooga club of the Southern ASso-
citation at Selma, Ala, the train
ing site for the "Engels."
Sunday and Monday the same
Chattanooga club is listed in
games at Chattanooga. The
next stop on the trip home"
will be at Knoxville, Tenn,
where the Knoxville club will be
met Tuesday and Wednesday.
The afternoon of Thursday,
April 7, the Griffs will show
their wares for the first time
this season in a game with the
Boston Braves at Griffith Sta
dunn. The next day the series
with the Baltimore Orioles will
be resumed with contest
against the MaiSel-managed club
at Baltimore. This series will
be ended on the following day,
Saturday, April 9, when the Ori-
oleS make an appearance at Grit
fitb Stadium.
BisOnS Last Foe
n hen comes the final contest
or the grapefruit schedule on
Sunday, April 10. On this day
the Buffalo Bisons will be met
at Griffith Stadium in an en-
counter expected to put the
Griffs right on edge to meet the
Boston Red SoX the very next
day, opening the American
League season for 1882.
The Griffs have won nine out
of 10 exhibition games SO far
this spring. Manager Johnson is
hopeful that this winning record
will be continued throughout the
remaining contests on schedule
because once the habit OF trl-
umphing is acquired it's hard to
break, he believes.
Rainy weather kept johnson
and his gang from taking their
scheduled workout yesterday. The
day of idleness marked the first
time in three years that the
Griffs have been unable to hold
a practice session since coming
to this base to train. Tony Rag
uSin. secretary of the local cham
Der of commerce, was around the
hotel all day Dragging about this
record.
Drill Today
Weather permitting, the Griffs
were scheduled to engage in a
lengthy workout today. 1t is
Manager Johnson's plan to make
up for all time lost by yesterdays
idlenesS.
Lefty Lloyd Brown and Big
Fred Marberry are still down
to pitch against the Brooklyn
Dodgers tomorrow. The pair, II
they hurl as we'll as in their de-
butts last week, should go alonG
without much trouble. Johnson is
hoping so at any rate as he's
pinning a great deal of respon-
sibility on the shoulders of these
pitchers this season.
In report on the "cripples"
and absenteeS now among the
GriffS, Joe Judges stiff neck was
practically we'll again today, while
Pitcher Alvin CroWder has wired
Griff to the effect that he would
report to the team when Chat
tanooga is reached Sunday. Joe
Kuhel is still on the sidelines
with his injured hand. The young
ster is expected to be ready, how
ever, in another day or so.

About Haw's Marriage

United States Senator Haw
Tabor was actually married at
the Hotel Willard on March i,
1883, and you will find long and
detailed accounts of the brilliant
ceremony in the Washington
newspapers of the following day.
Not in the picture "Silver Dol
lar" which opened at the Metro
politan Theater last night is men
ton made of the religious con-
troversy which developed after
the ceremony.
Haw Tabor (known in the pic
ture as Yates Martini did not
tell the Rev. p. L. Chapelle, D. D.,
pastor Of st. Matthews Catholic
Church, of Washington, that he
was divorced and that his bride
Baby Doll McCourt was also a
divorce. The clergyman dis.
covered it later.
AS a result of what the church
construed as deceit, Father Cha.
pelle returned the license to the
D. c. marriage bureau, sent back
his generous fee and wrote a long
letter to the Archbishop telling
how he was misled.
In the Washington Post of
March 3, 1883, Senator Tabor is
quoted as follows: Father Cha.
pelle did not ask either Miss Nc.
Court or myself about it. If he
had. we should have had no
hesitancy in telling him the facts
Regarding myself, supposed that
everybody understood that I had
been divorced, and as to Miss
McCourt I am certain there would
have been no concealment on the
part OF her or her father had
the question been asked"
The picture, "Silver Dollar
ends with the death of Edward
G. Robinson as Yates Martin
CHaw Tabor. In real life the
widow of Haw Tabor, a broken
and tragic figure. still lives in
a hut on the ,Matchless mine
obSeSsed with the idea that his
prophecy the hole would yield
tremendous wealth again will
some day prove true.

rSLVER DOLLAR IS STERLING MOVIE - 5sS PtSs f6" e
From millionaire
To Poverty Is
His Career

"Silver Dollar" which presents
that sterling actor Edward G..
Robinson as United States Sena-
tor Yates Martin of Colorado,
was given a special invitation
opening performance at the
Metropolitan Theater last night.
All Coloradans will recognize
the picturesque miner who rolled
UP a tremendous fortune in silver
as a thinly disguised portrait of
the uncouth but generous Haw
Tabor, man whose career was
so filled with ups and downs, ex-
citing adventure and controver-
Sial romance it makes ideal ma
terial for the motion pictures.
The Lucky Miner
AS it has been filmed by First
National, "Siver Dollar" has been
given sketchy and episode
treatment. It is neither as
sweeping in panorama or as COM
pletely satisfying in characterize.
ton as "Cimarron" to which it
will be inevitably compared. But
it is so competently acted in its
major roles and it tells its semi
biographical story in such en-
gaging fashion I have no hesi-
fancy in bracketing it with the
best pictures of 1882 and one
well worth your time.
You follow the fortunes Of
Yates Martin from the time that
he started out from Kansas to
make his fortune in the silver
country. From the day that he
opened his general store in Lead
vile and grub-staked miners
Yates seemed born to luck and
leadership. Everything he touched
turned to money and soon he was
elected lieutenant governor of
the new found State. He spent
his riches lavishly, erected NAM
moth opera house in Denver,
gave that city its first postoffice
site. Gen. U. S. Grant was his
honor guest for the opera house
premiere.
In romance, "Silver Dollar
presents its most interest in chap
ters. Yates Martin drew apart
from the wife of his struggling
days, took up with Lily, who in.
duced him to divorce his wife.
Her ambition to be the wife Of
a United States Senator blended
congenially with his own desires
and he was able to secure toga
by appointment. Then follows
his marriage at the Hotel Will
lard with President Arthur at the
head of the breakfast table.
Then the depression in silver
with the demonetizing era and
the Martin fortune vanishes. Mis-
fortune piles up on the aging
Yates and he dies just as his
appointment as postmaster at
Denver has been approved by the
Senate, and his luck seemed on
the way to return.
Edward G. Robinson gives one
of the best performances of his
screen career as Yates Martin.
Good, too, are Bebe Daniels, Aline
MacMahon, Robert wick,
Harry Holman, Charles Middleton
and Russell Simpson in the other
important roles.

Lupe VeIez With
Will Rogers in
New Film
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1882, King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)

HOLLYWOOD, Cal. Dec. %.
Prepare for a stratling announce
ment. The Fox Film Company
has signed Lupe Velez, Mexican
stick of dynamite, to appear in
picture with Will Rogers.
The news comes to me from
Lupe herself who says she reports
for work May / in a story that
will be specially written for her
and the drawing comedian.
Not only this, but Lupe has
new hobby-antiqueS. 1 found her
yesterday surrounded by II crates
of them-great bronze busts on
pedeStals, early French tables, or
nate wall brackets, Drenden
Shepherdesses, candle sticks.
huge clock. dozens of other
articles which the star bought in
a Boston auction.
Dressed in blue linen tennis
shorts, and fired with the en-
thuSiasm that she used to reserve
for fur coats, the diminutive ac-
tress yeserday had rounded up
her sister, her secretary, man
friend and a laborer to aid in
rearranging her house to accom-
modate the new treasures.
Aren't they beautiful" she
exclaimed, dragging me at a peril
Gus pace through the litter of ex-
pensive bric-a-brac.
And though I could stretch out
and be happy in a Grand Rapids
chair, it was impossible to resist
such enthusiasm. Lupe's verve
and energy are little awesome.
BY February /, she will have to
report in New York to go into
the revue, Strike Me Pink" She
has four pictures still unreleased,
and presumably might welcome
a short vacation. But not Lupe.
If 1 do nothing for five weeks
I go craZee!" she exclaimed.
So, it looks like another film.

Sport Film Opens
at Keith's

For those who like dash Of
sports before Christmas there is
THE Sport Parade" at RK.-O.-
Keith's, with Joel McCrea, Marian
Marsh and William Gargan in
the stellar roles. The film will
only remain through Saturday,
when THE Half Naked Truth"
will replace it.
It's all about one of those col
lege friendships, this time be-
tween two athletes, who. after
graduation have a hard time
finding a job. Finally, Brown be-
comes a sports writer and Baker
a professional football player,
but becomes another sports writer
when he discovers the pitfalls Of
pro sports. Then Irene enters,
and complicates matters. After
that several things happen, in
Guiding a "rassling" match-and,
by the way, Joel McCrea demon
Strates that he does not resemble
one of the modern grunt men.
Everything comes out all right,
and, although the picture is ex-
tremely slow at times, it is inter-
eSting, nevertheless. Joel McCrea
gives his usual slightly wooden
performance, and in so doing,
gives all the acting honors to Will
liam Gargan, who demonstrates
the effect of a stage career on an
actor. Marian Marsh plays the
girl satisfactorily. "Skeets" Gal.

others contribute effectively.
To round out the program,
there Is a MaSquerS' Comedy,

Because I don't want to

are making me dumber. If,

only way we could share the

ventured, "then-then there is
no bathtub?"
I had a hunch he was going
to ask that question. In all
my experience I have never
encountered such a bathing
fiend as Mr.. Cozine. The man
is actually a bathing maniac.
Three, four, five times a day
are nothing at all to him.
Whenever I am out and I want
Mr.. Cozine on the telephone,
I never call his room. I phone
the valet and tell him to get
Mr.. Cozine out Of the bathtub.
The waiter, Of course, didn't
know Mr.. Cozine as well as I
did. And he began to laugh
heartily.
"Ho, no." he howled. "H'ive
Railways been told you Hameri-
cans hare very funny, hand
now Hi know hit. Ho, no. A
bathtub hon the Mustapha!
Ho, ho!"
He backed out, still laughing.
I looked over at Mr.. Cozine.
On his face was the SaddeSt
expression I had ever seen in
all my life.
The Mustapha sailed. And
we hadn't been out of TuniS
more than 10 minutes when
Mr.. Cozine made a discovery.
He pointed to the ceiling Of
the cabin, and he wagged his
head wisely.
"You see that, Mark?" he
asked. THAT rust? And that
lump of memorial? And that
rust over there? This ship has
been down to the bottom of
the sea at some time during
its career. You mark my
words"
"stop kidding a kidder," I
stated. 1--WE been around too
long for that sort of stuff
Come on out with me and let's
see what the deck looks like
If we can get through the cows
and the chickens"
So out we went to the deck,
but I'm telling you right here
and now that my pals words
we're on my mind. Very pos
sibly, he was quite right. The
Mustapha had been used as a
troop transport during the war.
It might have gone down, at
