TODAY'S ADJUSTMENTS.

ANOTHER THREE-PART FEATURE.
The BijOu will show another three
part feature today, THE Colonel of the
Red Hussars," featuring Marc Mac
DermOtt, Miriam Nesbitt, BigeIow
Cooper and Sally Crute. THE Colonel
OF the Red Hussars" is a pretentious
and well-dressed photoplay of the high
est quality. The story, like many of
those following lines indicated in The
Prisoner Of Zenda," has the same per-
ilOus adventures of a hero transplanted
from the common place of ordinary
existence into the fCrmalities of cere-
monials of a small kingdom tucked
away somewhere between the eau
casion and Balkan mountains, known
in this case as ''Valaria." You will
like this play. Come and see it. Reg
ular prices are charged.
The Tangle" was shown to such
enormous crowds yesterday and so
many were unable to gain admission
that the Bijou management has de-
cided to bring it back in couple of
weeks for return engagement. Watch

before it touched the ground. N the
meantime, the base runner had reached
the bag. The play looked a great deal
like the one made earlier in the game,
but to the surprise of a good many of
the fans, the umpire in this case ruled
the base runner out.
One NGs Force Play.
Tie real difference between the two
plays lies in the fact that one is a
force play, while the other is not In
the play at first base, since the ball
was not securely held until after the
runner passed the bag, the only thing
the umpire could do was to call the
man safe. It was a force play pure
and simple. There v as no force about
the other play. the runner simply tried
t. steal second. In touching out a base
runner, all that is necessary for the
fielder to do is to touch the runner
before he reaches the bag and not drop
the ball
In this case he juggled the ball, but
ground, he retained possession of it.
As one umpire said, a batsman is out,
if a fly ball is iuggled, just so long
as it does not touch the ground at any
stage. Despite the fact that a big ma
1Ority Of the Umpires agree on this
ruling, I know one umpire, regarded
as one Of the best in the major leagues,
who insists that if the play comes up
with him, he will rule the runner safe.
He insists that if the ball is fumbled
at the time of the touch, it removes
the legality OF the touch. Do you or
do you not agree with this authority?

TWO MEN BEAT
BRYAN s RECORD
Houck and Davis Bowl High
er Average During Week;
Two Leagues Roll.

Owing to the holidays, only two
bowling leagues, the Big and Indus
trial leagues, rolled last week. In the
Big league there was quite a change
in individual standings. Joe Bryan,
who has led the league since early in
the season, fell down badly during the
week and as a result both Cap HOuck
of HOuck's team, and Lee Davis of the
Old Guards went ahead of him. HOuck
and Davis are tied at 1855 and as the
former has rolled more games than
Davis he is entitled to the place at the
top of the ladder.
The addition of Davis to the Old
Guards was certainly. a wise move, for
since his addition to the team the Old
Guards have moved up from the bottom
Of the league until now they are with
in striking distance of the Houck team,
which is leading by six lengths. That
this lead of HoUck's five will be cut
down during the next few weeks is
made the more likely since their most
consistent bowler, Cap Houcll, is leav-
ing the city for some time and there
is no one whom it is possible to secure
in his place who can approach his
average
In the individual averages, Joe
Bryan is in third place, two points
ahead of Scott White and LATE HILL
who are tied for fourth at $50. Fairly
close behind these two are Barela at
III and Harry Carr and Hart Wood
who are tied at 175.
IN Jhe industrial league, 'DuUch
Nagle still continues so far in front
that there does not appear to be the
slightest chance to catch him. "Dutch's"
average shows that he should really
be bowling in the Big league as his 175
average places him just IA points ahead
of K. H. Aber, the second man, whose
165 is four points ahead of o. J. Bin
ford and L. D. Gilbert. who are tied for
third at 100. Close behind those two
come W. Anderson at 159 and S A.
Vaughn at 1853.

Oldfield Drives Fast In Any Car

Clabby-GibbOns Fight May Be Cancelled
BY J. @. BRANN.

NYONE of the opinion that Bar
"A ney Oldfield former king of the
L n auto race drivers. has gone back
would do well to glance over his rec
ord during the past few m nths.
Those who believe Barney won his
races and made records, not be-
cause Of his driving, but because of
the wonderful Bitten Benz which he
drove, and that he is a one car driver
would also do wen to look over this
record. Driving a St al, Barney
won the desert classic from Los An
gcles to Phoenix by q -.5 gin.
thereby refuting all statements to the
effect that he is strictly a track driver
Driving a Maxwell he finished second
IN the Corona Load race and finished
second in the big race ~of the year for
the Vanderbilt cup in a Mercer, coming
IN close behind the winner of this event.
Ralph De Palma. This is certainly q
record for versa tility. In addition to
this record, Barney lost a special match
u Bob Burman, the so called present
king Of drivers, by exactly four sec
ouus. This race was held at Los An
geles Sunday, December 28th, and was
undoubtedly the most spectacular and
closest on record. In the race Burman
clipped 2S seconds from the worlds
record for the distance on a dirt track

The fight which all fight fans have
lOnged for SO many moons and which
was finally arranged between Clabby
and Gibbons, may be declared off.
Prior to signing to fight Clabby, Glib
bons had signed an agreement with the
Hudson promoter, Mike Collins, to fight
Eddie McGoOrty any time up to Janu-
airy Is. AS the Clabby-GibbOns fight
IS scheduled for Jan. q, it is certain
Mike viii not fight McGoOrty Jan. Is,
and then go through with his match
with Clabby- Gibbons claims to have
wired Collins twice from Buffalo tell
ing him to call the McGOorty fight off
Collins. however, claims he never re-
Ceived the wire. and. claiming he has
firss call on Gibbons services, insists
that he go through with the match.
The whole matter now appears to be
up to McGoorty. If he viii call off
his match with Gibbons then the Glib
bons- CIabby match will be held. Fans
sincerely hope that McGoorty Will do
this as he has already been seen in
action with Gibbons ard it is believed
the Gibbous-Clabby Iefair would prove
to be one of the most scientific eX-
hibitions of boxing ever staged.

The beginning of the present term OF
school finds in addition to the general
play activities, four different and spe-
clal athletic sports in use in what Is
called competition athletics and recre-
alton. First is the new game Of soccer
football, introduced for the first time in
Ell PasO by the present supervisor Of
physical training. This sport is consid-
cred the most healthful and desirable
Of all outdoor games. Especially is this
true as applied to boys of grade and
high school age; because of its effect in
developing the size and efficiency Of
heart and lungs, in readiness for the
approaching size and strength of mus
Gle
At the time of introduction of this
game here there was no thought of
more than about six teams. But there
are now i6 teams in 10 schools; there
being eight in the senior and eight in
the junior league. The Junior teams are
limited in height as follows: A junior
team cannot have more than three boys
over 81 inches tall; not more than two
boys over 65 inches tall, and none over
IS inches tall There is no limit for the
senior teams. There are in this one
sort more than 210 boys actively en-
gagged in the soccer schedule.
Basketball Tournament
A tournament in basketball, includ-
ing most of the schools is already on.
These games are played at the Y. NJ. c.
A. on saturday afternoons beginning a
2. o'clock About so boys will be en-
gagged in this sport
The girls have an outdoor basketball
league starting, also a league in volley
ball The girls games will be played
on the school play grounds, and from so
to IS girls viii be engaged in basket
ball and rs to 100 in volIey ball
The soccer games are played on the
school grounds where there is sufficient
room at the schools to arrange for a
field. Only seven schools have suf-
ficient room for a field. These games
are played in the afternoons and on Sat
urday mornings, the senior teams play
ing Wednesdays and Fridays, and the
junior teams Tuesdays and Thursdays
and both leagues playing on the same
field Saturday mornings; one game at
10, and one game at II o'clock. This has
been found necessary in order to play
off this schedule in time for spring
athletics.

Thompson's seven, brings it up to so
to 48.
In the game Sunday night z Barlow

met and Barlow was returned the win

had defeated J. Harper in one of the
three games played Friday night. The
error was probably due to the fact that
Harper and Moore had engaged in
