without inference. And as pride
goeth before a flop, boxing commits
sioners, beware.
The commission, as at present con-
stituted, consists Of Frederick A..
Wenck, chairman, and Frank Dwyer
and Franey.
Harmony does not exist in the ranks
Of the august triumvirate. Dwyer and
Franey are aligned against Wenck, as
can readily be seen by the vote on
various amendments and new rules pro-
posed by Mr.. Wenck. And MesSrs. d.

to Wenck as long as the latter con-
tinues making impractical proposals.
Difference ON Referees Decisions.
Wenck is an ardent advocate Of
referees decision and also favors mixed
bouts-fiEhts between blacks and
whites. He was voted down by Dryer
and Franey on each proposition simply
because the latter gentlemen thought
il for the best interests Of boxing.
They felt they were doing the proper

keeping the lid clamped on mixed
There is a divergence of opinion on
the decision question. Many things
can be said in support of it, while
just as many can be said against It.
So we shall let that matter rest.
Mixed Bouts Stir Feeling.
Regarding the ban on mixed bouts;
No one can understand Wenck's atti-
tude on This question. The game sure
ly has thrived since mixed bouts were
banned. OF course. it seems like a
curtaiiment Of the rights Of the negro
fighters. but they brought the odium
upon themselves. and are suffering
therefor. They are permitted to battle
among themselves; and then again
there is no public clamor for mixed
bouts. Mixed bouts always create
racial hatred. so why not let well
enough alone2 Mr.. Wenck. however,
refuses to see it in this light.

CHILD SERIOUSLY BURNED

The 19-months- son of Mr and Mrs. o. C. Jones was seriously and perhaps dangerously burned Thursday when his clothing caught from a fire which had been built out of doors for heating wash water. Mrs. Jones went into the house for a moment, leaving the little fellow with an older brother. Hearing the child scream she rushed out to find the clothing in flames. She quickly smothered the fire and called in Drs. Drane and Openshaw, who found bad burns on the right side ex . tending from the neck to the foot. Much of the skin was practically burn ed away. While the physicians con slider it a possibility that the child's life may be saved, they consider the case very serious.

Ann Pennington, one of the small est stars who ever created d great sensation on Broadway. is the star of the Famous Players production, Susie Snowflake" in which this cele- brated little Ziegfeld "Follies'' star makes her motion picture debut Though only four feet ten inches in height. Miss Pennington has proven one of the most colossal hits of the musical comedy world and is perhaps better known throughout the whole country than any other actress who has ever before been seen on the screen, for her praises have been sung by every visitor in Gotham town for the last three years.
 When the great musical comedy success. The Red Widow" went on the roac four years ago, Miss Pen niagton won great personal triumph by her clever work in the play. and she has steadily gained in popularity ever since that time Captivating, sucy. clover and appealing, Miss Pennington is an ideal screen star. for she comes to the motion picture endowed with all the physical re- quirements of the successful artiste, coupled with stage experience.
 The Famous Players wisely selected Susie Snowfiake"-there is an illu- give charm about the title itself which suggests the diminutive star-as the vehicle fer Miss Penningtons debut This serio- comic tale. which is the Paramount attraction at the Lamara today, is a story of musical comedy life.
