Reward" which was shown at the
Lyric last Thursday and Friday, was
one of the best pictures that it has
been the writer's good fortune to see
in long while. Mutual Masterpic-
ture nights at the Lyric are much
looked forward to by the picture fans
of Ashland and the once in a whiles'
who go only when extra features are
advertised.

Late Train DELAYS Picture

"Jim the Penman," which was
scheduled to appear at the Vining
Theatre Tuesday evening, was held
up by wreck at Redding. Admirers
of John Mason and Marguerite Leslie
were greatly disappointed in being
deprived of an opportunity to see the
picture.

Amateur Has Amusing Act.

Fletcher Fish of Medford, who ap-
peared at the Vinfng Theatre last
week, has an act which is out of the
ordinary and should make good any
where. Fletcher seemed perfectly at
home behind the footlights and put
across" his offering in good style.

Mary PickfOrd Packs Xining.

Mary Pickford in Dawn of To-
morrow" packed the Vining Theatre
Friday, evening and many were
obliged to wait for the second show.
The picture was wonderful and held
the audience in tense grip through
out. The feature was accorded re-
ception which has been accorded to
no other picture in Ashland.

Jess Houck was in the city recently,
looking after business interests. He
is the owner OF the building occupied
by the Plaza grocery and is contem-
plating the installation of modern
front and possibly a second story ad-
dition. This Plaza corner is one of
the most valuable locations in the
city, and improvements in the build
ing should be good investment.

Who Paws?

The "Who Pays" pictures at the
Vining are attracting a coterie Of ad-
mirers which is growing larger each
week. These plays are really SER
mons, but the sermons in all of the
pictures yet shown are totally lost in
gripping action and intense interest.

Nation Wide Board to Rule
Boxing Plan to Save Game

Such an organization is held to be
absolutely necessary to check the
greed OF fighters, and the idea, sprung
by Andrews, who has been clean and
successful in handling the Milwaukee
end of boxing, has met with ardent
support from the higher class pro.
moters who have been damaging the
sport by their greedy demands.
A meeting has been arranged to be
held either in Chicago or New York
in late June, the date not yet having
been decided upon.
The heads of representative ath-
letic clubs, boxing clubs, ETC., in every
city where boxing is permitted will
be asked to attend the meeting.
The objects as announced are:
FIrst-To establish and maintain a
scale OF weights for the various
classes of boxers.
Second-To establish a uniform set
of rules to apply to all matches.
Third-To draft laws governing the
holding of title bouts Fand Getting a
limit on the time any title holder may
remain champion" without lighting.
Fourth-To adopt rules to protect
promoters from grasping managers.

There is in the course Of organiza-
ton an association that either will be
the greatest factor in promoting and
developing boxing in the United
States or the worst thing that ever
happened.
This is the National Boxing associa-
ton which is being promoted by Tow
Andrews, in connection with several
Of tne leading boxing promoters iii
New York.
The National association IS to be
modelled something after the style OF
the Amateur Athletic association, and
to rule and control all clubs, al box-
ers and to govern all championships.
All depends upon whose hands the
control comes into. II in the hands
of competent, courageous, straight
men 1t will be the very thtag TO save
kc.xing from an even lower estate
than It holds now. II it falls into the
hands Of crooked promoters VINO
want to use it torthelr own ends, u
probably means the death OF boxing
lust as the game has an opportunity
to be resuscitated and placed upon a
clean, high plane.

MOUNDS

Before the present baseball season
opened, there we're a lot of wise per-
sons around saying that the Braves
and Red Sox were due to win pushing
on the BIT, and that it was none too
soon to begin reservtng seats for the
next Worlds Series in Boston. Now
that dope may still be good. but 1t
appears to have few wrinkles In 1t.
In the first place, unless the teams
in question do a little more sprinting
in the next few weeks, along about
July 4, Gems. Stallings and Carrigan
will be standing out there in front OF
their warriors yelling, Now for a
heluYa walk!" Yes, sir, it's going to
take some real fast walking.

The Windy cltyzens.

There are certain rooters in the
Middle West who even have the idea
that instead of progressing the ma
tional game will go back to the condi-
lions OF 1906 and that the Worlds Sc
ries will be played in the Windy City.
From an Eastern point OF view the
Cubs and the White Sox are taking
unto themselves undue prominence in
the struggles now in progress.
Moreover, their present showing Is
unfortunately not in the nature OF an
accident. The Cubs last season stood
sixth in the club batting records OF
their league. The White Sox stood
seventh In their organization.
AT the present time Chicago leads
the National League in batting and is
second, by an eyelash only, in the
American League. The White Sox
have made more base hits even than
Detroit and are third in base stealing.
They also have scored many more
runs than any OF their rivals. The
Cubs lead the National League in
runs, base hits and stolen bases.

STABLE AGAIN ON FIRE

Fire was discovered in the livery
barn of J. P. Stoll on North Spanish
street, shortly after one O'Clock Mon
day morning, but before serious dam
age was done, the fire department ar
rived and the blaze was extinguished
The discovery was made by Arthur
Whitener, who observed the smoke
rolling out through the vents and
openings in the front Of the building,
When he Investigated he could see the
flames darting toward the loft.
He aroused the two men who occupy
the place at night, and then notified
the fire department.
1t is believed that the fire is of in
cendiary origin as evidence was found
that would indicate that blazes had
been started in three distinct places.
Some kerosene and rags were found in
a carriage in which a fire had started.
TIE building was not damaged, and
about the only harm done was the in
jury to the carriage.
