Hon or more times during the last
dozen years since the moving pie
ture man and his mysterious re-
productions gained such a hold
upon the amusement loving public.
AS a general thing the question
remains unanswered and the in
quisitive one must be content with
the "ohs" and "ahs" of those about
him.
Like everything else, however,
it's all very easy when YOU know
how. and provided you have the
money. 1t costs as much to get a
good series of moving pictures as it
does TO procure a comic opera or
a melodrama, and the actors are
about as well paid.
But it's a paying business. Every
street almost, every LITTLE town,
practically every theater, has its
moving picture attractions. There
has apparently never been a craze
TO equal il. Business men, stu
dents, bellies and beaus, stand in
line for hours waiting their turn
at the mystifying pictures. The
stream of nickels pOurs continu-
ally into the lap of the blonde
young woman at the ticket win
dow, and the public and proprietor
are happy.

LAUDER AND TRENDALL WILL
SLUG 1T OUT
EACH ANXIOUS TO BRING AsouT
DECISIVE RESULT
Both WHAT Match with Freddie Welsh
and Only Knockout Will Satisfy
Either, Owing to No-DecisIon

Those who attended the twentv-
round scrap between Leonard lauder
and Kid Trendall at San padrS -
Gently, when they went the distance
to draw, will appreciate the STATE
ment that If the boys keep their Prom
ises there viii be the prettiest session
OF rough use Friday night, when
they meet ID a return match at ten
rounds, as ever was seen. Both bovs
now declare that owing to the short
distance they are asked to go thew will
cut out the strict boxing feature and
go in for a slugging match in an az
fort at settling their dispute long Ia
fore the limit and in a most decisive
manner. Owing to the no-decision or
dinance close fight would leave some
doubt as to which of them is to ger
the match with Freddie Welsh for
next month, and their determination
TO battle to quick and decisive result,
SHOWS that each is anxious to get a
whack at the English champion.
In their San Pedro fight Lauder took
the lead at the start and held Ii bv a
Ialr margin for fifteen rounds. Then
Irendall began to change his tactics.
Up to that time he had tried to box
with Lauder and took a beating for
his poor judgment. Realizing his mis-
take and the fact that his strongest
pattle always comes from a standup
smuggling match, he opened up his bat
terles and started after Lauder pell-
nell.
He made such a rafting finish In the
maj rounds that Referee Walsh de-
olared the h-.-tle a draw. Had Tren-
aall delayed his finish much longer
Lauder would have been given the de-
clsion, but the st. Louis boy showed
In those few rounds that he could fight

Vinced that his main hope lies i'm go

ness and speed to outpoint an oppo-
nent. SO he, too, will try to win a
decisive victory Friday night by GO
ing in with the determination to
knock out the st. Louis boy or be
knocked out.
If either boy wins in this manner the
drawing powers of the scrap with
Welsh will be materially increased, as
II would prove more conclusively that
the winner will be a worthy opponent
OF the English champion. However,
their determination to put up this
style of battle means that many fans
will attend who otherwise would stay
at home, as a strictly clever boxing
exhibition does not appeal very strong-
ly to the fans.
