CITY LEAGUE
TO WITHDRAW
FROM Ma. B. n.

The Tacoma City league. the
biggest semi-pro organization of
the city, will sever connections
with the National Amateur Base
ball association.
President James Corcoran of
the City league today announced
that he believed his league would
be just as successful, if not more
SO, by remaining independent.
Last year the Tacoma league
paid $25 for membership in this
association. 1t was supposed to
play elimination games for the
Coast championship. Through
apparent mismanagement of The
association, there were no elm
nation games. and the South
Tacoma Tigers were awarded
the Pacific coast championship

ALL CHAPLIN CLAIMS

For several weeks movie fans
have been wondering what has
happened to Charlie Chaplin. He
has not appeared here in any
new movies. In fact, even his
old films have been withdrawn,
and Chaplin is not acting any
where in America, 80 far as we
can learn.
The grotesque comedian quit
Essanay January 1. 1t was re-
ported at that time that he and
Sid Chaplin, his brother, would
promote their own company.
Today, however, comes this
item from New York:
NEW YORK, March Charlie
Chaplin says that today he be-
gins work under new contract,
through which he will receive
$4,000 a year--one of the
largest salaries paid in America.
He refuses to say with whom
the contract was made. All
Chaplin will need az a working
outfit will be:
A 1910 mustache.
A broken pair Of extra size
shoes.
A pair Of baggy trousers.
A cane.
A tight-fitting coat.
A battered derby.
Ten years ago Chaplin was
drawing $3.50 a week, doing ex
ira parts in q London music hall.

IN WILkESON

Fighting Billy Murray will
probably be an interesting spec
tator at tonight's smoker to be
staged in Wilkeson by Billy
Phillips of Tacoma and Peter
Pete of the mountain city.
Murray announced today his
intention of visiting Wilkeson,
not only to see the bouts, but to
size up the town as place for
a prospective match.
Tonight's smoker consists of
one six-round match and two
four-round affairs. Mike Pete
and AL Lupo, 1922, will meet.
George Bevan of Wilkeson and
Kid Ross of Buckley will furnish
the third bout, boxing at $50.

BILLY MURRAY WAS
NOT A HOLD-OUT

An impression gained circula-
ton Thursday night that Billy
Murray, who boxed Frank Farm
er, was "hold-out."
We would like to correct this
impression, both for the sake of
Murray and Paul Steele.
When the receipts for the
smoker were figured up, IL
was found that Paul Steele
would be nearly $500 In the

card. He was I'm a dilemma.

purse. He declared that he
could not cut off any more, be-
cause of his expenses in coming
here. With the $10O off, Muir
ray was boxing at a smaller fig
ure than any of the big boxers
who have come to Tacoma.
But even at that, Steele would
be bankrupt IL he staged the
bout. That's why he appealed
to the fans for aid.
Paul Steele wants this explana-
ton printed today.
"It's really nothing to
me-" he says, 'but there

HUGO SECRETARY WRITES
REGARDING MAIL HOUSES

Hugo, Okla, Jan. 15.-We note with
much interest the recent writeup by
W, S, Gilbert, on the mali order house
and the Chicago way" In this short
story he has told volumes of truth that
should not only put every citizen in
every town in the state of Oklahoma
to thinking, but every citizen in the
state as well.
If we could all get down to the pro-
position as to what we are doing in
our town, or community, we would
be going long ways towards solving
the problems of prosperity, and then
we would become constructive factors
OF the kind that do things and to them
where they should be done, not at long
range, but at short range, where they
Will be the most effective, and tend
to the immediate forward move of our
Especial localities.
II is nothing to us as to what other
cities and towns are doing and other
communities are doing, the proposition
is, what are we doing that is at our
hands, and if so, how are we doing it.
The thing for all to do is to consider
our town, our community, the best in
the whole state and stand up in both
private and public for this contention,
and not only allege it, but prove it by
our constructive acts, by building up
our towns, cities and communities in
which we live, each one looking after
each others interest from a cooper
latiye standpoint, doing our commercial
business with each other, thinking out
the best plans for each and every cit !
izen by which he can become more con
structive, and valued asset to his |
town.
If we build our home merchants, we
build men who do things, who are our |
chief city builders, as they invariably |
contribute to every laudable move !
by our towns and communities, they help
support every school and church, head
every commercial move that is put on
foot for the town, put their whole life
into the town in which they live, and
every citizen living in it, and contrib
ute to every progressive move made
in behalf of their county We can
certainly depend upon our home mer-
chant as he is on duty in our towns
every day, and if errors occur, he is
more than willing to correct and make
good and that now, not some other
time, after long and tiresome cor
respondence. Let's adopt the "Chica-
go way" that our town is the only one
on the map, and swear to it by day
