TED LEWIS MATCHED WITH AKRON WELTER.

For the first time in the history of boxing twenty-rounds no-de- csion between a worlds champion and his challenger will be staged. The principals are Ted Lewis, of England, welterweight champion of the world, and Johnny Griffiths, of Akron, Ohio The bout is to be pulled off at Dayton, O., on Labor Day. James Jay" Johnston, Ted's willy manager, is responsible for this astute move. He does not care to risk his champions title with any local referee. Griffiths does not ap- pear to mind, as he claims that he can win decisively before the lapse of twenty rounds. Lewis is just as certain that a referees decision will not be necessary in any case.
 Lewis and Griffiths have met half dozen times and on every occasion the champion has had an edge on his opponent. The general belief is that fed will put his man away. as it is unlikely that the two will be rematched after twenty rounds bout, for which both have been working.

Theda Bara in "The
 Vixeno at the Palace

Improbaby, impossible and absolutely devoid of sane reasoning. written chop pidly, hallucinations of a mind that ap- parently was a blank as to any consis- tency, such is "The Vixen" as concerns the plot as presented at the Palace last night There is hardly two redeeming features of the plot. It is inane. sim ply foolish, but
 'The Vixen" introduces Theda Bara and she vamps. vampires and is vam- pirish in every scene and in every ac- ton. It makes the other characters of A vampire nature played by the one and only vampire, look like a snowbal placed at the equator on the hottest day of the year with the full sun overhead and shining upon it. Thedafis the one the people go. to see and the plot Is so outrageously absurd that Theda is about the only thing to gee or think about There is one character that does stand out and this character stands out because it is played by so sweet a girl in so sweet and unaffected way that it is paramount to anything in "The Vixen" Mary Martin plays the char acter. that of Helen Drummond. the counter attack on the character played by Theda Bara.
 ''The Vixen" runs for the remainder of the week and will draw well because II has Theda Bara.

The Cast

With the above six clever and capable persons playing the principal roles. with hundreds of extras appearing in the va rious scenes and these scenes deplcting the old Barbary Coast of Frisco, before the fire, in all of it's glory, Hell Mor- gan's Girr' proved an unusual event in local photoplay annals as given at the Coliseum last night. t-
 Several weeks ago. "The Overcoat. with Rhea Mitchell and William Stow ell was presented at the Coliseum. This was a story of the Barbary Coast, but Hell. Morgan's Grl'' has this rivaied in every way. The present production is ma ssive, it is full of action. of the stirring kind and as in "The Over coat" the same athletic man. William Stowell plays the second character of prominence in the present offering Dor othy Phillips. pretty and fascinating, plays the title role. There is little left to the imagination of typical scenes in a dance hall of the "coast." The color is all there and then some. The picture is just like as if one was going sum ming with big things happening which could not ordinarily be seen.
 There was large house at both shows last night and this attraction will most presumably draw well again tonight and tomorrow. Some will see Hell Morgan's Girr' twice and then will not get all that happens as things move so rapidly.
 The first show begins at 7:l5 and the second at 9:10.

suits, and in so far as the Giants have gone to date it appears that his judgment in the matter of players could not have been better.
 Pay Big Salaries.
 However, New York is like all other cities in one way. Big as it is, it will not accord loser the same support that it will give 8 winner, and although the Giants have played to many great crowd this year, the expenses connected with the running of the club are so great that interest must be kept up to the end of the race and car ried into the worlds series if the club is to get good returns for the investments made in players and their salaries. It is timely to say right here that when the New York club was spending big bundles of coin for players it was also assum- ing some mighty heavy contracts, for the Giants as they stand today are said to be the highest salaried club in the National League, if not in the majors.

16 President Hampstead told him to go the limit to get the players he wanted. And McGraw went the limit. As result President Hemp stead authorized the spending of something more than $10O,O0O for new playing talent, and McGraw picked out the players who caught his eye and set about making deals for them.
 In dealing on the player market MeGraw pulled several David liar ums. He traded players who lad long been rated stars of the Giants and got the better of nearly every trade. In purchasing players-pai ticularly from the Federals-he had to dig down deep, and this where the big end of the money went.
 Stars Are Costly.
 Kauff, Anderson, Rousch, Rariden and McKechnie were the Federal League stars purchased by the New York club and cost the Giants about $90,000 in hard coin, for the reds Weren Tn the indik kct 'o tIdue or take first mortgages-they want ed cold cash and they got it.
 In addition to the purchase oi these players it must be figured that the Giants paid $10,000 for Slim Sallee and nearly $15,000 for Herzog, in completing the deal which sent Roush, Mathewson and McKechnie to Cincinnati. The Zim- merman deal, in which Larry Doyle figured as the chief trade value, al so cost the Giants some cold coin and Lew McCarty did not get into a Giant uniform until Charley Eb- bets had received cash and Fred Merkle for the player.
 In paying fancy prices for some of the Fed stars. McGraw took what many called long chances. In pur' chasing players like Zimmerman Sallee and Renton-players who were rated as hard men to han dle-Muggsy was doing what few big league managers would have done. considering the money in yolyed.

GOODRICH AND CARL
 WINNERS IN INITIAL
 SHOOTING EVENTS
Atlanta Man Makes High Professional Mark, While Local Secretary Wins
 Handicap

1 The first day of the Birmingham Gun club shooting tournament saw some splendid scores made, both by profes- sionals and amateurs.
 The high professional average on the 150 16-yard target won by Charles Good rich of Atlanta who continued his good work of Monday and broke 146 out of the 150 a splendid record. He was closely followed by Tom Hale, the noted Ten nessee amateur, who broke IA out of the 15o. He was followed by Gentry TIillman, a local expert, and Tate Mason of Selma. Some of the most notable shooters were present. Captain Andy Meaders of Nash vile, the oldest trapshooter in the coun- try, still hale and hardy and able to shoot a race with the worlds best, made a fine score.
 Andy Hill, the biggest trapshooter in the world, was also present, and always a leader in any race.
 c. M. Brady, the great Chicago sports man, made the entire trip to participate in the Birmingham shoot.
 A gallery of interested spectators watched the various events with much interest and pulled for their favorites to win. The office was handled, as usual by Al Geohegan, which always assures that that end will be handled to the entire satisfaction of the participants
 The traps worked perfectly throughout the day, with very few broken targets and the lunch was enjoyed by all.
 The warm weather tired some of the joyed the day and are looking forward with great interest to the shooting to- day, each hoping to win more honors and medals.
 The preliminary handicap at 100 targets resulted in a win for o. l.. Carl, secre- tary of the Birmingham Gun club shoot ing from the 1S-yard mark. He broke 94 out of his 100 shot at, and won the purse offered for the winner in the handicap.
 Dr. l. J. Sellers, another local expert, was a close contender. breaking 92 out of his 100, also shooting from IS yards Lee Moody of Bessemer, landed third place, with 91.
 Long runs of 50 or more were made by Gentry Hillrnan, who broke 80 straight. T. K. Lee, the famous rifle shot, had long run of GA, John Warren 61, and Tate Mason 50. For these long runs they will each receive a beautiful gold watch fob.
 The programme today will consist of 10 15-target events regular sweepstakes shooting, and a 100-target handicap for a purse of $50. There will be some ad- dtional shooters taking part today, and the competition will be very keen
