Be- tween his lunging footballs she could hear his panting threats. and the clear ness of the night gave her little chance to elude his savage pursuit. She realized she was running across -what had been her own fathers estate. The ocean spread suddenly below her. She had reached Signal bay and the precipitous cliffs that drowned high above it.

BOXING SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

Jess Willard and his manager are
trying to secure a pOstponement OF
the fight scheduled~for March in
New York with Frank Moran. Will
lard, at his Rogers Park home, says
he is suffering from cold which he
cannot shake. His manager, Tom
Jones, from New York has been in
touch with the champion, and what
he heard caused him to ask the set
back.
Tex Richard, promoter of the
match, has his own representative
here, and will have him report on
Willard. If Tex then believes the big
fellow is truly sick, he will arrange
the fight for March %.
While this is going on, Moran is
working strenuously in the east, and
reports say he is rapidly getting into
condition. This is no joke fight to
Moran, who realizes that victory,
even in a ten-round fight, would
place him at the top. With the pres
tige of a popular verdict he could
force the champion into real fight
without a limit on the number of
rounds.
Willard is big man, and does not
take kindly to training. But he and
his people realize that he must train
for this match. Since defeating
Johnson, Jess has not put on a battle,
and he is not highly regarded by the
fighting fraternity. There is a dis
position to regard him as an acct
dental champion, and the only way
this idea can be erased is by decisive
victory over Moran, who looks like
the best of the new heavy bunch.
1t is probable the paIpitating pub
lie can stand the postponement if one
is granted. 1t is probable the public |
could survive if the fight never was
pulled off at all, and a whole mess of |
people would be better off financially. |
Some one seems to have whispered |

men from the Cubs, and our dope of
yesterday that one was catcher and
one an outielder is borne out by
the statements of the interested par
ties. Il SS!N
Tinker has three catchers, Archer,
Wilson and Fischer, the first two
being generally regarded as the bet
ter men. But if sale is pushed
through it is quite likely that Cal
lahan will get one, leaving Fischer
here as second-string man, and a
youngster to help out in an emer-
gency.
So far, Tinker seems to think
pretty well of men formerly in the
Federal League, and he unqualifedly
favors his Federal outfielders over the
leftover Cubs. With this as a pre-
cedent, he may decide to let Archer
go and retain Wilson and Fischer. 1t
will be shock to the fans, but there
will not be the howl that would fol-
low if the club was still located on
the West Side. The North Siders
have become used to Wilson and Fis-
cher and like them.
But Tinker and Weeghman both
say they have absolutely turned Cal
lahan down on the proposition to buy
Williams. Cy is young man,
conner and one of the best prospects
in the National League. He is eager
to learn, and profits by every hint
dropped him.

MES that the club has been sold to a
Philadelphia syndicate.

B. B.-Don't you think you would
be very ungratcful if you hurt your
mother and father after their having

an education, undoubtedly at the cost
of many sacrifices? You make a mis-

would be very foolish to waste your

steal the ideas, overcharge the
writers and have no intention of try
ing to dispose of their plays. They
usually devise some scheme to make
the writers pay stipulated sum in
advance
A well-known scenario writer told
me that when she first wrote seen
arioS many years ago, she went TO
just such an agent, who took eight or
ten of her stories and sent them TO
the different studios, according to his
own statement.
Recognizing that she really had
material there, this agent had taken
advantage of her and had really
mailed them to the studios, selling
four or FIVE of them. The checks
were sent to him, and were shown
to her as Turing bait, with a spurious
contract he had faxed proving to her
no checks were to be delivered to
the writers until the stories had been
released.
Knowing she was in very strait
ened circumstances at the time, he
offered her fifty dollars if she would
sign her interest away in over two
hundred dollars worth Of accepted
material. She did this gladly, but
when she discovered his swindling,
he had disappearcd-nor was she the
only one who had felt the scourge
of this injustice. Hundreds of writers
whom he had gathered into his fold
were all bitten by the same scorpion.
So beware, amateur writers, and
think and act for yourselves. Send
your stories, neatly typewriter, in to
the scenario editor of any company
you wish to favor with your talents.
There is a code Of honor among the
scenario editors of the reliable com
panies and stories will not be stolen
which are sent to them.
