On the Screen

Madge Kennedy is one of the eifted
women of the screen. She has very
definite conception of the value of
slight gestures and small changes in
the play Of expression. Among the
many players of stage and screen she
knows best how to crv humorouslv.
She can do more with dab Of hand
kerch,ef than some popular comedians
can do with custurd pie. But, Of
course, we do not mean Charlie Chap
lin.
"A Perfect Lady" by Charming Pol
lock and Rennold Wolf, does not bring
out all Miss Kennedy's skill although
1t affords her an opportunity for
pleasing appearance. The story is mod
erately interesting, but marred by con-
ventionality. Some day when we are
done with playhouses and picture thea
tres we intend to take up lantern
and search for an honest deacon. He
may be found, but naturally we will
not seek for him in the movies or the
drama. The villain Of "a Perfect
Lady" is the usual sort of deacon.
When the heroine tries to live down
life spent in burlesque by opening an
ice cream cabaret and motion picture
theatre he persecutes her. However,
the minister marries her after the dea-
con has been exposed. The villains
downfall is brought about by motion
pictures taken Of him during a spree
in a far-of city. The effect of the
movie within a movie is we'll done and
villain, but the rest of the support
furnished to Miss Kennedy is not dis
tinguished.
James Montgomery Flaggs comedy
Independence B'Gosh" has a rational
plot which is decidedly in it's favor and
it is also amusing. Olin Nowland does
excellent work in this comedy, which is
broadly farcial but no mere tumble Of
physical misfortuncs.
Rex Beach's "Too Fat to Fight" with
Frank Mcintyre, begins the promise of
an amusing comedy. Even though its
early pace is much too slow, there is
humor in the plight of the man who

place in the Y. M. G. A. on account

TrOtting Associations to Amdganate

New York, Dec. 3-Complete anal gaticn of the National and American Trotting Associations cannot be ef- fected until the congress of the two associations meet next December, but they now are operating under identi- cal rules, the National Association was told at its meeting here today by President J. c.

 The question is largely matter of adjusting overhead expense, MT. Welty said He pointed out that there were only about forty or fifty one mile tracks in the country, while there were 1,560 half-mile tracks.

LEAGUES NOW PLAN
 TO HOLD JOINT SESSION

Having squelched the plan of the insurgent contingent of organized baseball to dissolve the national com mission and name former President William Howard Taft as a 'fone-ma court of last resort" without the necessary authority Ban Johnson is expected to act favorably on the sug- gestion that the American and Ma tional leagues hold a joint session in New York next week. The National has asked for the meeting and the majority of the club owners in the two leagues are understood to be in favor of it.
 The refusal of Mir Taft Go consider the offer made him by Harry Hemp stead of New York, and Harry Fra zee, of Boston, caused no surprise Ii would have been surprising had he accepted it after the row it kicked ur among the club owners of the Amer ian league. The elimination of Mir Taft. however, leaves the question re- garding the formation of a commits sion still unsettled, and if Johnson agrees to the joint session plan he is almost sure to have something i'm portant to say as to how the com mission will be constituted.
 It would be just like Johnson tC insist that Hermann be retained al chairman of the commission, and i he decides to stand by Hermann there is no power to remove the Gin einnati magnate from the place Despite rumors to the contrary, it i virtually assured that Johnson vii remain at the head of the Americal league, even though his powers ma, be curtailed, but as president of tn, league he will represent his organiza

RESULTS OF FAST FALLING
 HAMMER ON A TRAPGUN

Recently we turned out an article discussing the sighting radius of the shotgun and gave the answer. Here is another conundrum. It is written by the same professional who penned the first article. This pro- by the way is one of the hest all round shcts in the world.
 At that breakfast in John Wertz's real estate office in Chappell. Neb., when the question,
 What is the sighting radius of the | shotgun?" was asked and answered, another question was propounded which seemed at first to have but one ! answer,
 1 Here is the question: What advantage, if any. would re- sult from an extra fast falling ham, mer in traIgun
 IL was at first unanimously decided that theorechcally, you could reduce l your lead OH quartering targets. However. was that the correct answer.
 1 Would not the gun with an extra fast falling hammer rsaily require, 1 Theoretically at least, a greater lead on quarterins targets? l Now, everyone aspiring to become proficient in trapshooting has been told times without number. and rightly too. to follow through on quarter
 ing targets, and the best shots do so
 This follow through process gives most of the lead required to break fast quartering targets successfully. 1 Well, then, wouldn't the shooter l whose gun had a hammer with long 1 slow sweep Hollow through farther
 than the shooter whose gun had 2 | short, quick stroke, because more time
 would elapse between the time tht
 trigger was pulled and the firing of tht
 gun?
 And would not this allow the form CT to hold to his target closer when ht 1 pulled the trigger?
 This dope is simply haic splitting. o I course, and of no practical value l However, it may relieve some novic, 1 of the worry occasioned ny the sloT falling hammer in the gur he is r.1v
 trying to break targets with. Let hin
 remember, though that 8 certain anna
 teur, who is considered by many a
 the peer of all handicap shooters, an,
 shoots q gun equipped with one 0
 those slow, long sweep hammers, an did the hammer in his gun fall twic
 as fast he would probably shoot jus
 as well.
 For the shooter who stops his gu
 as he fires the fast hammer is tn
 correct dope. for he could possibl
 hold lit.1e closer: but the man shoot
 ing in his best form nee.l not worr l about the. speed of his hammer
