Penn Beats Albright
 Eleven By Big Score

Philadelphia, Pa.s Sept. 30.s# AL sbright's eleven proved a big disap- pointment to the coaches of the Penn sylyania football team. In the only nidweek contest on the Penn sched- uIe here yesterday afternoon, the Quakers, contrary to expectations, did not have to- exert thenselves to win in a Walkover by an overwhelming score of 63 to 0.
 With the exceptions of three chan ges. the Quakers lined up the same as against West Virginia last Satur- day. Howard Berry, Penn's sensa- tionaI back, started the game at quar- ter in place of Bell, who later reliev- ed him. Last Saturday Berry played ful1back and did fine work, but the coaches decided he could do even better in his new position, and he showed that they did not err in their Judgment Owing to the shift, Billy Quigley started at fullback, and Vince Welch played right half, with Frank Tighe at left.

 The labor involved in this newest sort of picture making is enormous. There are 5000 separate and individ- ually posed scenes involving about 100000 interesting details.

AL though not a word is spoken on the stage, the musical and mechanical eff fects employ a hundred flesh and blood helpers nightly. In brief, the magnitude of the stupendous film dwarfs the average stage play into insi gnif1cance.
 Theatrical producers and observers are wondering what will be the next evolution of the art. Will the cinema replace the text book in the public schools? Will the Walter Scotts an6 the W. M.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1899-Dave Sullivan and Joe Bern stein fought 25 round draw at New York Joe and Dave; fought three 25 round bouts that year, and all end- ed in draws. Sullivan, a native of Cork, had won the featherweight title from sSol1y Smith the previous year, but held it only a few weeks, when he was whipped by George Dixon. The woods were full of good feather weights at that period and Joe Bern stein. although never a champ was one of the best of them. He was de- feated by Dixon in a 25 round bout, but the Chocolate Drop did not win by any wide margin. Joe fought a draw with the clever Young Griffo, and knocked out Solly Smith shortly after the Los Angeles boy had lost the featherweight honors. He also de- feated Eddie Santry, Tommy White and other good men, but lost to Terry A4cGovern, Young Corbett, Kid Broad and Oscar Gardner. The latter known as the Omaha Kid" also knocked Dave Sullivan, and the lat ter also fell before Pedlar Palmer, Young Corbett and~Terry McGovern.

David w. Grimth's most extraor- dinary Achievement with his new photo-spe pectacle, The Birth of a Nation coming to Polls next week, is that of making history alive. He has touched the high peaks of Anne ri- can history-the introduction of slavery, the War of Secession, the sur- render of Appomattox, the death of Lincoln, the rr1iseries of Reconstruc- ton, and the restoration of the South to it's own. These things, it would, have seemed a year ago. were beyond the motion picture camera. The master producer had the faith of an enthusiast. Within 12,Oo0 feet of eel luloid film he has successfully com bined a thrilling. p1ausi ble and dig nified presentment of national up- growth with a real and human love story based on Thomas Dixon's book romance, ''The C1ansman." As it ap- pears to the newspaper and magazine critics, MT. Griffith has not only sur passed the art of, the indoor thea Ire, but he has also developed. a. new art-form far superior to the~old- style history or historical novel. The best characterization of it so far is that of a very eminent public man who has called it History of Lightning.
 MT. Griffith employed 1s.0OO people in taking these historical pictures
 The battle scenes were actual dupli- cates of several of the Civil War con f1icts, and so were the facsimiIes of important events. We see Lincoln among his counsel1ors issuing the call for volunteers, Grant and Lee shaking haands at Appomattox, the shot that John Wilkes Booth fired, the Freed mems Bureau, the scarpetbaggers ex- cesses. and the famous rides of the Ku K1ux. The realism is almost un- canny. Often the old war shouts are heard in the audiences from the lips of veterans who momentarily forget that it Is only a picture. It is hard to keep one's feet from dancing to the well-beloved tunes of the martial music Scenes in the latter ha1f of

FRANKIE BURNS TO
 BOX>IN NEW HAVEN

New HavenyaSep 30-Speed will be the keynotRs of the first boxing sh ow in the Arena under the auspices of the new1g formed New Haven Atfl- letfcs sGIub on pctober 6. Frankie Burns, the fastest bantamweight in the country, will hook up with Jimmy Taylor, the Italian champion of the East, who fought Kid Williams Is fast, rounds last month.
 This will be the main bout and is scheduled for 12 rounds The semi windup will bring together Kid Burns, the man who gave Packy Me- Farland his only black eye. and Andy Cortez. New York's popular Italian lightweight, for eight roundss while another eight-round bout will fntro- duce Jim Buckley's bantam protege, Frankie Daily, against Red Mcdonald.
 Frankie Burns is generally regard ed the greatest bantam in the country and claims the bantam title bv default because Champion Kid Williams has always dodged match with him. Tommy Burns and Dom mick Tortorich, who run the big club in New Orleans. offered Kid Williams an $S,000 guarantee for a 20-round fight with Burns. but sammy Harris, Williams mana ger, refused the offers : Jimmy Taylor, the tough little New York Italian. who meets Burns here next week. has been practically SC lected as. the first Eastern opponent of Johnny ErtIe, the St.sPaul bantam who now claims the title because of his victory on a foul over Kid Will Hams.
 Taylor also held Williams even for IS rounds before the champion went West to bfx Ertle. so that the winner of next weeks bout here between Burns and Taylor will stand out as the logical contender for first crack at the bantam title.
