To make a rooster crow in daylight
for motion picture, picture director
blindfolded it for awhile. on untying
the birds eyes he crowed as never be-
fore, believing himself to be announc-
ing a new day.
Mrs. Vernon Castle was born in New
Rochelle, n. Y, twenty six years ago.
She has brown hair, gray eyes, is five
feet seven inches tall and weighs 1876
pounds.
A sort OF irony attached itself to the
work Of Earle Williams in a serial
story of automobile adventure and
thrills. In the various scenes he was
supposed to undergo many terrifying
ordeals with his car. But he soon sus-
pected that a ink Of i'll luck pursued
him. In his leisure moments when he
was trying to enjoy his own car some
thing was always happening to dis
count the movie mishaps. He lost
tires, ran into telegraph poles, bowled
into near collisions and several times
was hurt. The climax, as far as ap-
prehension is involved, came on a
bright day when he was taking his
father and mother and a friend for a
pleasure jaunt near West Point, N. Y,
and on a steep grade his car slipped
and was only checked from going over
a high embankment by a tree stump
few feet off the road. Strangely
enough, his perils off stage ceased as
soon as the pseudo perils before the
camera were finished.

man, the bantamweight champion
of the world, succeeded in defeating
Joe Tuber before a large crowd at
the Olympia A. C. last night, al
though in the second round Tuber
came within an ace of knocking the
titleholder from his feet. Herman's
victory was decisive, however, and
he had marked advantage in every
round except the second. Herman
drew blood in the fourth canto,
when his repeated jabs opened up
Tuber's mouth.
After easily maintaining an advan-
tage in the opening round, Herman
received a surprise when the gong
opening the second period found
Tuber rushing him from his feet.
Tuber obtained his advantage by
landing a hard right flush on his op-
ponent's jaw, which was so effective
that only the ropes prevented the
champion from dropping to the floor.
Herman reversed the conditions in
the third round. and from then on
was never headed. landing the ma

Rules on Javelin Throw
as Defined by A. A. U.

A knotty problem as to the correct
way to hold the javelin has been set
tied by the Amateur Athletic Union
after being in communication with
j. S. Edstrom, president of the In
ternational Athletic Federation
whose headquarters. is in Sweden.
The Interpretation of the rule as
stated by the board of governors is:
THE construction of athletic rule 3S,
recurring the javelin to be held by
the grip is not violated if the hand
holding the instrument is on the grip,
but some of the flesh of the hand
touches the back of the binding, but
the extension OF the fingers on the
shaft is violation of the rule.
According to the information re-
ceived by the A. A. u. authorities
from Edstrom, Lemming, the worlds
champion javelin thrower, extends
the fleshy part of his hand to, but
not beyond, the last row of the whip
cord grip. Lemming holds the jave-
lin in such a way that the forefinger
is slightly Tapped over it while the
tips of the other three fingers just
touch it,
In this way the shaft leaves the
hand from the points of the fingers
and gets it's final impetus from the
sudden Strengthening out of the fling
ers. There have been two styles in
this country, both introduced since
the visit here two years ago of j.
Anderson, the Russian athletic train
err Anderson taught both Jim Lin
coin and George Bronder, but Lin
coin, misleading of tapping his finger
over the grip of the javelin as it lay
in his hand. extended his forefinger
backward along the shaft, a style
clearly illegal under the new inter-
probation of the rules.

OHIO IS MECCA

Six Cities Hold Bouts Running
to Twenty Rounds With
Decision

Cincinnati, Dec. 11.-Ohio, the
Buckeye state, is now the leading
boxing center of the United States.
In other words, it is the haven Of
refuge for boxing persons and their
retinue.
Right now boxing is all the rage
in the state which borders on Lake
Erie. There are more than half a
dozen of the largest cities where
professional boxing bouts are be-
ing held at. regular intervals, and in
most bases the bouts are over q dis
tance from 12-round no-decision af-
fairs to 2O-round decision contests.
The following is a list of places
where bouts are now being held and
the number of rounds:
Where Big Fights Go
Columbus, ~ rounds, no decision.
This may be increased to Is rounds
to a decision for the Ted Lewis
Bryan Downey battle.
Dayton, 20 rounds to n decision.
This is the place where Ted (Kid)

Springfield, 90 rounds to a deci-
sion.
Cincinnati, 8 rounds to q decision.
Canton, 20 rounds to a decision.
Cleveland, 10 rounds, no decision.
According to William +. McKinnin
matchmaker of the Queensbury Ath-
letic Club, of Columbus, who is in
the city trying to close a Bryan Dow

championship affair, the game is very
much on the uplift in his home state
I'm Ohio, while there is no boxing
law, there is nothing on the statutes
which makes it a misdemeanor tc

most cities it is up to the mayor and
chief of police to regulate the box.

commission which regulates the
game and keeps 1T clean, and for this

lack of denial usually spells verifica-
tion.
That Tener will embrace a Won
derful business opportunity regard
less of the wishes of his baseball as
sociates, is fact well known to his
immediate friends. His term of Of

ago it was announced that Mr.. Tener
had been rendered a return to his of
flee for term of years by the unani-
nous consent of his eight club presi-
dent constituents.
OfTcr Not Official
That fact seems to have been Just
a trifle far-fetched. If the offer was
made it is a surety that the present
executive did not accept. for he has
pledged himself to accept an import
ant office in a business concern
whose game is road construction. II
Mr., Tener retains the presidency oil

condition only of being footloose to
