BELASCO

The much talked about drama, THE
Lure" which so startled New. York with
its>daring exposure Of the white slave
traffic will be the attraction at~the Be-
lasco Theater this week f
George Scarborough, author of this
play, was for three years in the United
States Secret Service Of the Department
of Justice branch. engaged in running
down white slavers. He was inspired by
his own experiences to give this drama
to the public as a warming to mothers
and young girls of the nation.
Mr.. Scarborough evidently realized
that such a play might meet with some
OPPOSITION, so he foreslaiied this by hav-
ing it indorsed by both men and women
engaged In uplift work. The indorse-
ments have been plenty. including no less
an authority than Stanley w. Finch, ch ef
of the Federal Bureau for the suppress
sion of the White Slave Traffic MI.
Finch placed the entire contents CT his
than 10000 women-at the disposal OF
Mr.. Scarborough.
The two white slave cases depicted by
the dramatist in The Lure. are sald
to be typical of the average cases which
now come before the police OF every
dav. Ali the Characters of the trade
are shown, the cadet" who entices the
helpless girl victim. the madame. who
holds them prisoners. and the sinister
low brow politician who is credited
with being, the silent partner of the
White Slavers.

Jack JOHNSON and Jess Willard

for a fight for h worlds
Championship. and Jack Curley'
who has the articles in his
pocket, is in FL Paso on a tour of the
country looking for a location for the
battle between the negro champion and
the American white hope.
Curley has bids for the fight from
several points in the world, including
Havana, Cuba: Buenos Ayres, South
America, and Matamoras and c. P.
Diaz, Mexico. He expects to visit all
the places that want the fight before
deciding where he viii hold it. but it
can be said that personally he looks
with a favorable ~ upon FL Paso and

AS soon as he arrived here, promoter
Curley was taken in hand by some of
the leading citizens of FL Paso, who
are interested in seeing the fight
staged in Juarez because Of the money
and advertising it would bring to El
Paso. 1t can be stated that he has
been made some flattering offers here.
Arrangements have been completed
with Col. Matt VIM to get the Juarez
race track grand stand for his use for
the fight should he decide to locate
here and pull off the fight in Juarez.

at his disposal in FL .Paso for offices

As outlined to promoter Curley by
those interested in getting him to
stage the fight in Juareg he could
erect the ring in front Of the present
grandstand at the racetrack and use

on the opposite side Of the ring facing

Ell Paso Boys Have Made
Great Records in Ath-
letics During Year.

Another Of the many Ell Paso boys
Who nave made names for themselves
IN the various branches of athletics is
Wendell KUN Wendell. who has been
attending Lehigh university at South
Bethlehem, Pa, made splendid records
during the time he was there. In the
Georgetown indoor meet, held in
Washington, D. c., on April % of this
year wendell beat the great American
SprlnIlng champion, Donald LippincOU,
IN a preliminary heat of the so yard
dash in . 3-5 seconds, which is within
a fifth of a second of the worlds rec
ORD In a meet against Bucknell, May
q last he won the 100 yard dash in 10
fiat and h 22O in % 3-5. In a dual
meet at Harvard in May he was beaten
by the barest fraction in the 200. In
the dual meet with Lafayette May 16
he was again barely nosed out for first
place. Both Of these races were run in
Y seconds, which is within fOur-fifths
Of a second of the worlds record. And
IN neither case was the track eXcep-
~tionally fast.
Fine at Football, Too.
In football Wendell was considered
almost the equal Of his teammate, Ca
hall, who has been selected by Walter
Camp and most OF the other pickers,
Tor the second All American. Last
year he played at halfback throughout
the Albright, Carlisle and Yale games,
playing a magnificent game in all In
practice during the week following the
yale game Wendell had his shoulder
blade broken and was unable to play
during the rest of the season. HIS
injury also kept him out Of the game
this year. Wendell will remain in the
city during the rest Of the year and
will probably compete in the sprints
for the Y. NJ. c. A. in the spring track
meet of the Southwestern Athletic as
ISOLATION, which will be held at Wash
ington park this year. This will give
his many friends in the city an oppOT-
tunity to see the speedy youngster in
action.
Scott nOther Football Star.
Still another FL Paso boy who has
made good away from here is Vern
Scott. for the past two years quarter
for the Texas Agricultural and Me-
chanical college varsity football team.
Scott is not quite as well known in Ell
Paso as some of the other youngsters
who have made their marks in ath-
letics. This is due to the fact that he
has spent the last two summers in the
north and has not returned to the city
for two and a half years. However,
his home is here, and he learned 20
play football in the Ell Paso schools. In

the best quarterback in Texas this
year, but the best in the south. And
many consider him to be one of the
best men ever turned out in the south.
He drives a team magnificently, get
ting the last atom of playing out OF
them. He is one of the best broken
field runners yer seen in Texas. And
he hits a line like a high powered mo-
tor car. In tackling he invariably
nails the runner, and his kicking is re-
markable, being by far the longest and
most accurate of the year. over IN
the eastern part of the state it is said
that had the rest of the team played a

THEN is a nome run not u nome
M run? Up until a year ~ such
a question often came up. Re
Gently L received inquiry on a play that
Il wear ago might have been the sub
ject for considerable argument. 1 will
repeat the play as l. was sent to me
by the manager of one of the clubs
concerned.
In a game played between Glass
Dcrt. Pa. n Verona, Pa, a play came
up that caused a long dispute, and the
proper ruling on the play is still a
matter of doubt. A Verona batter hit
the ball over the left field fence, which
was the regulation distance from the
home plate. In making the circuit of
the bases, the batsman who had hit the
ball over the fence failed to touch sec
Ond base. The mistake was noticed by
the second baseman of the Glassport
team, also by the umpire, for the sec
.ond baseman pointed at the error when
the batsman failed to touch the second
sack.
Put New Ball Into Play.
after the player had made the cir
cult, the umpire put a new ball into
play. throwing it to the pitcher. I'm
mediateIy the second baseman called
for the ball, and, receiving it, touched
second base. The umpire thereupOn de-
clared out the batsman who had hit
the ball over the fence. At once the
Verona team protested against the rul-
ing, claiming that since the batsman
had hit the ball over the fence, ac-
cording to the rules he was entitled
to a home run, and that it was i'm
possible to put a nan out, when the
rules prescribed such a hit as he had
