HAPPY JEFF
COMES BACK
AFTER TRIP

Returning from a five
weeks jaunt across the United
States, in which he visited
every city Of importance be-
tween Tacoma and Buffalo,
where his brothers and sis
ters reside, Jeff Christmann,
the popular flyweight boxer of
Tacoma, returned to his news
stand Mt nth and broadway
Monday.
II had the trip Of my life,
and I'm back i'm Tacoma ready
for more business, and more
bouts, il they can bring ON
anyone my weight" ANNOUNCE
ed Jeff.
The prosperous young news
merchant fingers about the
1OO-pOund division, a1tho he
is we'll along past 81. There
aren't many boxers of that
weight in Tacoma, so he ex-
poets a hard time getting
matches. Jeff is the boy who
gained much good natured
publicity last year when he
forgot to don tights when he
rushed into a Spanaway ring
for a club match.
During his trip Christmann
saw some of the best boxers of
the country In action. He saw
Ted Lewis and Soldier Bart
field in their memorable Buff
falO fight, in which both men
battled until they were ex-
hausted, Lewis holding his
welter title by a shade.
"But TacOma's the only
city. i'm the country for me-"
says Jeff. I'm back here for
life, now"

Floating Girl
Again Proves
Pleasing Hit

"The Girl in the Moon," an old
vaudeville feature but-one that
always surprises and pleases audi
ences, returned to the Hippodrome
Sunday. Seated in an Illuminated
crescent moon, a beautiful young
woman floated over the heads of
the audience, dipping towards the
footlights or flying to the top of
the proscenium, as she. sang pop
ular songs. 1t was the feature act
OF the bill, and was well received.
The Princeton Five are a group
of busy chaps who play musical
instruments, sing, and furnish
nonsense, all at the same time.
Austin and Bailey, in their
"Syncopated Hotel" kept things

sole central unit of the big film
spectacle, and she carries the part
with the ease and skill of a star
with many years dramatic expert
.enee behind her.
THE Redemption" is almost an
appeal by Miss Nesbit for a new
verdict in the court of public
opinion. Altho the play does not
recite anything connected with the
Thaw case, or Miss Nesbit's past
affairs, it does tell a story in
parallel to hers, with just the same
appeal that one would expect the
actress to make after she had
been criticised and condemned by
a merciless public.
The film is a masterpiece. and
the gowns work by Miss Nesbit are
wonders. THE Redemption" re-
mains at the Tacoma all week,
with matinees each day and two
evening performances.

Fence Jumping Japanese
Gets Mike Fishers Goat

At Kio a lot of peddlers came
out to the ship and took our
measure for some new suits of
clothes which we fell for, because
the material looked great. The
first time We wore 'em 1t rained
and we needed barrels to get
back in. That Jap cloth didn't
bear up under rain.
When l tell you Count Okuma
pitched the first ball you get
some idea how enthusiastic was
our reception. We gave the old
gentleman a silver ball and | had
my picture taken with him.
After the game they gave us a
tea party, but don't know
where they kept the tea. There
were a lot of other things to
drink. Our players attended in
uniforms. They didn't spill any
tea on them.
We played at Shanghai and
Hong Kong. A cricket match
was arranged at Hong Kong, and
we got horrible beating. Dele
-hanty made 50 runs but the OPP
position made about 5000.
In Canton the attendance was
estimated at 10000. Maybe it
was, but never again any of those
Chinese gates for mine. When
We got thru counting the Chinese
money it was morning and four of
us had been up all night. There
must have been some misunder-
standing about the admission
price because in all we only had
$42,6S.
Umpire Hildebrand of the
American league was with us at
the time, and, we had kept him
on the gate. Hid tried to steal
Is cents but couldn't carry it
home. That night Hlldy got in
bad with his wife by staying up
to play poker.
He went home with a great big
bundle of Chinese paper money
and tried to square himself by
handing his wife big roll to go
shopping with. She found later
it was only equal to $3.50 in
American coin. Hildy hid out
for several days.

Weldon Wing, known as "Toughy"
Wing because of his ability TO
stand up un1er hard punishment,
will meet Joe Harrahan of Seattle
In the second big bout of the pro-
gram.
Muff Bronson and Chef Neff, in
the other event, of course need no
introduction.
Harrahan, a little scrapping
Irishman, has been seen in Ia
coma in bouts with Earl Corners
and other bantams. Wing boxed
Sammy Morris and Joe Richmond
here last year. - The two boys are
ideally matched.
EDDIE QUINN OF TACOMA
and Frankie Saunders of New
York have been matched by
George Shanklin for the semi
windup. The battlers are feather
weights. Quinn has made quite a
record in Tacoma already. He
appeared at nearly all the Eagles
smokers last year and did not
lose a decision. Saunders has not
been seen here, but has done some
snappy boxing in Seattle.
