MARKLE PITCHES TANKS TO VICTORY
 OVER THE RED SOX

Aes New York, April 27-CIiff MarkIs of Pittsburgh and New York, held the champion Red Sox to four hits at the Po1o Grounds yesterday and shut chem out. The. score of the battle was to 0. with the Yankees on the prohta- pie end Onlyg three Boston players progressd as far as thrd base, and of the nine who reached first, five made the Journey on passes. Moreover two of the four hits were rather hukey.
 Markle pitched with all the assur4 ance of veteran. At times he was wild enough to lead to the beiief that he, was born in Borneo, but when he pitched himself into difficulties it did not appear to disturb him in the least. He merely pitched his way out again.
 This is not the first occasion on which the former Waco twirIer has beaten the Red Sox. One of the two games that he won for the Yankees last fall was from Carrigan's men. Much of Markle's execution was done with his drop ball, which shot down ward with the suddenness of a, hawk sweeping upon it's prey. The only men who hit him safely were Hen ricksen, HoblitzeI and Barry It must be said, however, that the New York pitcher received the most shining va riety of gilt edged support.
 There were at least two instances of fielding on the part of the Yankees that are worthy of passing mention. The first came in the fifth inning Jan vrin shot a wicked drive toward right field which appeared to be a. sure hit By a great burst of speed Gedeon r+ot near enough to the ball to knock iE down with his gloved hand. Picking it up he whirled and made a quick throw to first. The heave was wide of the bag. but Ptpp stretched hinnsaIf his full length and, while keeping one foot on the sack managed to spear the ball with his mitt. It was play upon the part of both men that brought the crowd to it's, feet.
 The other great piece of fielding was when Peckinpaugh raced in behind second for a hard hit ball from the bat of Agnew and by perfect throw got his man at first.
 Nunanaker is enjoying a perfeat orgy of hitting Out of four trips to the plate yesterday he made single, a double and a triple and drove i'd four runs. Tn his last two games Uun- amaker has made three singles. two doubles and two triples, and has driven six of his comrades home
 Baker also, woke up and broke his batting slump. He was hit by pitched ball and got two singles and a double out of four times at bat, fn- ishing the day with an average oG 1000.

Kayo Moran, the Eat Bridgeport sensation, will have plenty of vocal support when he gets into the ring with K. c Palitz of New London for 200 employees of the Remington Arms plant where Moran works, will be on hand. Moran has shown such slug gfng ability in his last two bouts that he hopes to get another decision over the veteran PaIitz.
 There will be a four round opener between Willie Mclean and Young Brown. This will begin at 8:1O sharp. There will be no waits between bouts. Terry Lee will referee Frank Braith- waite will do the announcing and Al Burdick will keep time.

GAN GOTCH
 COME BACK?l

Frank Gotch, worlds champion heavyweight wrestler. was born in Humboldt, Iowa, April 27, 1878.
 A little figuring on the basis of this statistic indicates that the great grap- pier will be thirty eight years old to- day.
 As a farmer, Gotch isn't an old man i: in fact, he is still on the sunny side Of the prime of life,
 Agriculture is one thing and wrest- ling is something else again, however, and thirty-eight seems very venerable for Q mat artist who plans a come back after years of retirement Young with the educated legs, must derive a great deal of satisfaction from a study of Gotch's vital statistics.
 Those who have seen the veteran champion of the catch h-as-catch can game, in his southern California try outs, declares that if Gotch meets Stecher the Dodge farm by is going to be up agniast the stiffest proposi- ton of his career! Frank has lived a sane, sensible, open-air life, and doesn't know the meaning of dissipa- ton. When Gotch's friend, Jim Jef- fries, quit the ring, he retired to a liquid joy palace in Los Angeles. Gotch has spent the period of his retirement on his big Iowa farm. That may make a world of difference between the attempted cone-backs of Jim and Frank.
 Good judges of wrestling say that the Iowa farmer is now apparently in as good condition as he was when he was pinning the best of them to the mat. If that is true, Joe Stecher is going to have his work cut out for him if he is to retain that magnificent belt given to him by his admiring fel- low Nebraskans.
 As a general proposition, wrestlers last longer than boxers. Even the strongest and most temperate of grap- piers have their limits, however, and cannot always defy Daddy Time.
 Youth must be served, A good young man can nearly always defeat a good old one. And Gotch is thirty eight today-a full decade beyond the mark where the boxer or wrestler usually begins to slip back a little

A STRANGE CASE

Herman Regain, H-Xear old boy
appeared in the juvenile court one day
this week and requested to be sent to
the State Reform school at St. An
thony. He told pitiful story OF how
his father had taken him out of school
in Kansas to hold down homestead
and then had left the State for Idaho
when it came time to prove it. The
family reached Boise several weeks
ago and Immediately applied to the
Associated Charities for assistance,
which was extended to them. Last
week the probation officers ordered
the children sent to school and Her
man was very anxious to go, but
claims his father asserted they would
move on before he would permit him
to go to school The boy then chose
to go to the Reform school.
He is husky lad and asserts his
willingness to work and his earnest
desire to learn a trade and quit the
itinerant life which his father has adj
opted. 1t would seem that the case is
one which, should appeal to some one
who could give the boy home and
that he should be released from the
Reformatory and given an oppor-
tunity to earn the schooling which he
apparently desires so much.
There is a lesson for the Charity
board also in the situation. 1t is stat
ed the family has two teams of horses
and simply settled themselves down
on the Charity association without
any purpose of becoming self-support-
ing citizens of Boise but solely to re-
main as long as possible as objects OF
charity and then move on to greener
fields. 1t would appear that they
should have been given only such tenn
porary assistance as might relieve
actual want and then made to hustle,
as it is evident they are determined to
live upon charity.

THE FAMILY STAIN"


From Gaboriau's story "The Widow
Lerogue," William Fox has taken his
first mystery theme for the screen, and
given it cast of unusually competent
players, and settings of the excellence
one has come to expect from Fox.
OF course with Gaboriau the origin
al creator of the plot, one is guaran-
teed genuine mystery, if only the ad-
agitation is made slillfully. This Will
S. Davis has done. in addition to di-
recting the production.
Rarely has Fox been happier in the
choice of his players for a given pic
tire. Frederick Perry as the father
who arranges an exchange of infants,
which turns out in the end not to have
been an exchange, but nevertheless
the basis for murder, gives his abili-
ties full play in a role that is neces-
sarily circumscribed by reason of the
plot. He is to an appreciable extent
overshadowed by Elmer Linden,
whom we have not previously seen in
photopiays. Linden, we believe. will
be heard from as an actor with an
unusual capabality in tragic parts.
Other members OF the cast were evil

entirely adequate-in fact, far above
the average found in detective plays
Walter Miller, Stephen Cation,
Carey Lee. Dixie Compton, Helen
Tiffany, Frank Evans, Edith Hallor,
Mayme Kelso, Louis Hendricks, Carl
Gerard.
The action moves swiftly, in spite
of rather complicated plot The di-
rector, with an eye for realism, has
provided, among other things, one of
the most successful rain storms ever
screened. Or TO put it more accurate
ly, the director took a natural rain
storm and made it one of the most
telling features of his picture. Another
piece of work for which we commend
the director particularly in his staging
of the third degree" scenes. Not only
are they carried through without ex-
aggeration, but their value is also
heightened by lighting effects that are
splendidly worked.
No extended sketch of the plot is
necessary here. It will keep any au-
dience, guessing. and thoroughly alb
sorbed. The Family Stain will be
shown at the Majestic, Monday and
Tuesday in conjunction with two vau-
deyille numbers, Wagner and Bruhn.

REASONS WHY


Floating around in the labor press
we find twenty-one reasons in tabloid
form as to why every worker should
join union and take pleasure in pre-
senting them in these columns:
/. Because it tends to raise wages,
This is proven by all sorts Of evil
dence.
?. Because it prevents a reduction
in wages: reductions rarely come to
well organized labor.
3. Because it aids in getting short
er hours. Ask the union men who
are working eight hours they can
prove it They can show a union
card also
4. Because in union there is
strength This is as true OF wage
earners as of states.
S. Because it makes labor re-
spected. Power wins respect from
employers as from all men.
6. Because il gives men self-re-
lance.
7. Because it develops fraternity
Craftsmen are all too jealous of and
suspicious of one another even at
best
8. Because it is a good investment
No other investment gives back so
large return for expenditure of time
and money.
an dmoney.
9. Because it makes thinkers. Men
need to rub intellects together in mat
tiers of common concern.
10. Because it enlarges acquain-
lance. The world is too restricted
for wage earners.
II. Because it teaches co-opera-
ton. When laborers cooperate they
will own the earth.
H. Because it curbs selfishness;
the grab-all is toned down by the
fear of the opinions of his fellows.
10. Because it makes the job
better place to work. The bully fore
man can't bully the union card
IA. Because it helps the family
more money comforts, and better
opportunity to improve your social
conditions.
IS. Because it helps the state. I'm
organized and disconnected labor is
the parent of the mob The trade
unions stand as rock between the
government and anarchy.
10. Because it is universal The
trade union is coexistent with civil
ization
II. Because it pays You benefits
when you are on strike for better
conditions, or to prevent unfair con-
ditions being imposed upon you
Is. Because it pays you sick bene-
fits when sick or disabled
10. Because it pays death benefits
of 500 and upwards.
20. Because it stands for concil-
iation of all differences between en-
ployer and employee.
81. Because union mans card is
treated with respect and considera-
ton by all unionmen. and the bearer
of card is never without friends.
and can always get assistance if in
needy circumstances.

TRUTHFUL woRDs-cARLYLE

Many a man thinks it is good
ness that keeps him from crime, when

able home and well-hlled larder, to

citizen. The man who is supplied with
the necessities of life and at times en-
joys some of the luxuries, is but little
tempted to become law-breaker. But
the man who feels the pinch of hunger

she retains upon her brow pure and

felt want clutching at her vitals and
remained unsullied, is a heorine whose
womanhood, is worthy Of the most
