With this off his mind and with the
prospect of a net profit of 100000 on
the bout, Promoter Tex Richard

Spencer Arthur Abbott has been en-
gagged to umpire the Topeka exhibition
games of the Savages, the first of

Apparently Kansas fish are very

The Lemon Tree of the Des Moines
Register and Leader now asserts that
Jess Willard is a poet. To prove its
assertion it prints the following lines
by the champion:

And never gets dime,
While I get four thousand bucks and
more
For killing time.

match last week who went away as
sorting that the Doctor Billings bout
was frame up, that it was merely an
exhibition and that instead of being
bitter opponents, the two grapplers
really are pals in their profession
It might or might not have been a
frame up, but it certainly was good
graphing exhibition. And if the two
men are pals they have a unique man
ner of showing their affection for
each other. Doctor gave Billings a
cabbage ear that will stay with him,
and Billings apparently did his best
to break the champions neck for him
In fact, the efforts of Billings to
break Doctors neck were the most in
tereSting features of the match. He
first tried to accomplish this by hoist
ing Doctor ceilingward heels first and
dropping him on his head. When this
didn't work, he then tried to accom-
plish his purpose by getting the cham
pion's head between his legs and spin
ming his body around as if it were a
shaft on a universal joint-and appar-
emily it was.
President Zehrung says that the
umpires he has chosen have been rec

For today and tomorrow. the Colonial
offers another one of those famous
ten reel programmes. Thos. H. lnce
presents the favorite star. Bessie Bar
riscale in a five part feature, THE Last
Act" which is as it's title indicates a
story Of stage life. Miss Barriscale is
cast as Ethel Duprey. an actress who
is out Of work and whose money is
gone. She meets Mrs. Hale (Clara
Wiliams) charitable woman who
helps her to regain her position in
theatrical life. Following her success,
the actress meets Hale, a prosperous
lawyer and his attentions appeal great
ly to Ethel. Wife and actress meet.
the latter is reminded Of the climax of
her own play and gladly gives up the
man she has become fond of when she
learns that he is the husband of the
woman who has befriended her. Be-
fore Mrs. Hale goes, she has been in
duced by Ethel to devote more time to
her husband and less to charities, dis
card her commonplace attire and garb
herself in the frills which every man
loves. AS the wife goes to what
promises to be a happy home, Ethel
makes no effort to hide her sorrow at
losing the only man she has ever loved.
Today's episode, the twelfth, of 1.-The
Strange Case Of Mary Page" is en-
titled. 1.-THE Sums" With only three
more episodes to come this solution
defying play is beginning to. hint at
various possibilities. though all are
converging at stirring climax. Scenes
from the Mexican border and many
other topics Of unusual interest are
included in today's Pathe News.
"Cinders Of Love" presents Chester
Conklin and Slim Summerville in a
burlesque on the rivalry that usually
exists between the fire and the police
departments of any small community.
