Here’s a fun discovery. See if you can find the unknown movie star on this page … Supervisor John Anson Ford withdraws from the recall election against Mayor Frank Shaw … Superior Court Judge Fletcher Bowron is suggested as a replacement, but he is opposed by organized labor, The Times says … And a jury decides an elephant bite is worth $4,500 ($64,347.92 USD 2007).

Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom and Bob Pastor fight to a draw at Gilmore Stadium. Buried way down in the type: Herbie Katz "New York Hebrew" defeats Chester Parks "Los Angeles Negro" in an "eight-round slugaroo" … And Bob Feller walks 11 batters.

    That’s Gwen Verdon hiding in plain sight in the beauty contest. Strangely, she claimed a birth year of 1925. Could she be 13 in that photo?
