sational and not spectacular in the
least but a simple, homely picture
of life as ii is lived in a small town.
Walthall is shown as a bank clerk
who plods and saves but fails to
get ahead. He is engaged to the
village librarian and has been for
seven years. They dream of their
new home and a honeymoon trip
but the savings have to go for other
expenses. Then the villianous bank
president steals the funds and
Brown is blamed. The ending is
dramatic and interesting and the en-

The Delaware River Shipyards' Ath-
letic Association IS the latest and per-
haps one of the strongest organizations
in the sporting world and in its ten ship
yards as members of district No. 10
controls some of the most noted athletes
in the country. The new venture was
launched at dinner held at the Ritz

chises. namely. Merchants, Hog Island,
& Hollingsworth. Pusey & Jones, of Will
mngton: Cramps's and Pusey & Jones,
of Gloucester.
In order to govern all sports through
a central body it has been decided to
have but one delegate from each of the
ten yards and only one other member
! will be included that is the secretary of
the national service section, at present
Edgar Mckag. This will he eleven votes
at a single meeting, and majority vote
will determine all halloting
For each individual sport two other

get together at various occasions and
thresh out the problems and perpleXlties

THAN LANGFORD
REGRETS DELAY
Veteran Heavy Anxious to
Crush Thompson, but
Rain Interferes
By JAMES S. CAROLAN

Everything was quiet and peaceful at
Shibe Park last night. The big fire.
works did not explode. for intermittent
showers served to put the lid or every
thing in a boxing way. oHowever. the
gladiators are still in the city. Shibe
Park still is at Twenty-first street and
Lehigh avenue and the program as
originally arranged is to be staged this
evening.
This is the first time this year that
special open-air boxing show has been
called off on account of weather condi-
tions. When Leon Rains promoted his
big show two weeks ago he had close
call, but he received the breaks and the
rain did not appear until the day after
the big carnival.
The stellar attraction is still with us.
and there is certain to be plenty of eX
citement at the horne of the Mackmen
this evening if the rain clouds distribute
their wet goods in places other than the
vicinity of Shibe Park

battle with Eddie McGoorty at Fort
