WANTED THE STAGE FILLED
Theatrical Masnate Evidently Cared
More for Effect Than for Accuracy
Of Production.

The production of great dramas was
his business. His great talent was
success, and his weakness was that
he always liked TO show or when he
was rehearsing play. He was
In the habit OF sitting far back in
the darkened theater, and whenever
a stranger came in to see the re-
hearsal work he put himslf in the
foreground by jumping to his feet
and bawling out the actors and ac-
tresses. When he was putting on a
big production OF THE Holy City"
three friends OF his entered the the
ater one afternoon to see the dress
rhearsal. As soon as they had sat
down the producer began to fidget
in his seat. He was consumed by the
old fever for prominence. He want
ed the visitors to see that he was the
boss of everything. There were IL
men on the stage. which was unusual
ly large. Who are those men on
the STAGE" he called out to his stage
manager in thunderous voice.
That's one OF the big scenes OF the
play, the manager said humbly.
Those men are the IL disciples"
oh, well,' shouted the impresario
imperiously. go out and get IL more.
That's a big stage, and We want to

lEVlNSKY WINS FROM kEARNS IN
 VICIOUS BATTEE


 Battling Levfnsky, the Queensberryl florist, plucked another white hope posey from the pugiIistic bush in the Atlantic Garden A C., New York, last night The latest addition to the Bat tiers conservatory is of the military variety and was 1aabeled Soldier Kearns Carefully avoiding the right swing thorn of the Kearns growth, Levinsky slowly but firmly separated the Soldier from his pugi1istie roots, and at the end of the tenth round the Kearns bouquet was ready for the vase.
 Kearns, with the physique of a heav5WeigEat lifter, looked as though he might tear the slender, curly haired Levinsky to pieces and when the fight began Kearns' muscle bound arms swished through the air with a force tha1 would have spelled disaster to Levinsky-had any of the blows landed.
 But that is the strong point of Lev 1nsky's exce1lenca He is usually a little too far away or a. bit too close to permit Of heavy blow landing with full force Once or twice Kearns rushed like a maddened~ bull and did some damage to the Battler, but be- fore Kearns could recover his balance Levfnsky usually planted half a dozen singing blows where they would do the least good to the Soldier.

LEACH GROSS MIGHT
 BECOME GHA1IPION4 YET
If New Yorker Lands Hay maker on Rivers He'll
 Be In Line.

If Leach Cross keeps on trying long enough he may yet land one of his famous hayrnakers on Joe Rivers be- fore he gets through. At any rate he will have the law of averages work ing in his favor. When they meet at Los Angeles next month it will be their fourth battle.
 It has often been said of the willy dentist that if he can get an even break in 8 first attempt. he is sure to, win the next match. As a rule this has been the case and is the best of evidence that Cross uses his brains, But Rivers has been the exception to the rule. He seems to be the one who has profited by experience, juds- ing from the result of their last bout
 However, Cross is due for little. luck this time and if he happens to- land solidly in one of the early rounds, it would be no surprise for him to score a decisive victory. Unlike Riv-s CTS, Gross is not cowed by a defeat. In fact he will probably enter the ring with less nnisgivings than the Mexican, who appeared none too anxious to get in front Of the Cross wallop again.

Pittsburgh, Jan. 28-Deternnined to put a quietus on the attacks which Charles (.'Red'') Dooin has been naak- ing on the Federal League. Secretary w. T. Mccullough of the local "olt- law team in an interview yesterday roasted Dooin to a turn.

 MY actual experience with Dooin dates from November, 1912- At. that time he was appearing at g. local theatre in this city After the plans League in 1913 had been perfected sent q short letter to Dooin at the theatre where he was appearing here. He answered.:

It's All Here
FEDERALS WANT
 0UTFIELDER CREE
Offer New York Player s5,O0O a
 Year For Three Years.

The Federals are still on the trail of the New York Yankees. They are now on the point of snatchings Birdie Cree away from the Farrell troupe. The papers got a tip a week ago that the forestry expert was doing business with the Federals, and the report was substantiated from Sunbury, Pa, Cree's home, last night.
 Cree has not yet jumped to the Feds. but the Sudbury dispatch says the Pittsburgh Federals have offered him $5,o00 a year for three years, and have agreed to deposit half of the amount in bank for him if he signs 9 three-year contract. The dispatch says Cree has not given the F'edera1s his answer.
 If Cree tries to hold up Farrell for $5,O00 he is. unlikely to get away with it. Unfortunately for Birdie, the Fed eraI League started to go after big -leaguers in 1914 instead Of 1913, Last winter Birdie was regarded as one of three stars on the Tanks He hit around 1850 far Farrell for couple of years and was the best baserunner on the club.
 However, that year of idleness in 1912. when Birdie broke his arm, did the player much harm. Cree was far overweight last spring, and. tn ough he tried hard to get down to playing weight, he remained faeavy and out of conditdonx He slowed up perceptibly on the bases and his hitting began to drop Cree may come back to his old form, but, if he is no better than he was last season, he would have a hard time beating Channe11, Walsh or Gilfoo1ey out Of a job.
