Arbuckle Hurt During Making of Pict7irp

That even film comedy has it's casualties was evidenced in the film ing of "Out West, Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle's new vehicle. While only blanks were used, the impact of a piece of wadding at close quar- ters injured Arbuckle's hand to such an extent that he was forced to ask medical attention. This occurred during the taking of some wild western scenes when Al St. John as the bad man of Mad Dog Gulch led his gang of desperadoes in 8 raid on the town Several extras were also slightly injured and AT. St John and Alice Lake were both bruised by falls from their horses Buster Keaton jumped off a cliff with disastrous results which pre- vented him appearing before the cameras eye for three days
 Still, everyone is happy, for the picture is finished and is said to be the biggest scream that ever came out of the Arbuckle studio. It is travesty on wild and woolIy west ern dramas and will shortly be re- leased.

 boxing lesson in his life and there
 in lies one of the startling features | of his wonderful career No other l modern fighter ever rose to the | heights without spending years in the l hands of boxing tutors. But John l. | reached the top and dominated pugil ism for more than decade without
 knowledge of the scientific features
 of the sport, except as they came to him instinctively.
 The Hercule3n strength of Sullivan his amazing ability to stand up un

 men, were his main assets. Time and again when friends urged upon him the seeming necessity of boxing lessons, John L. VIC Id below:

 That was true in the cases of the dub fighters that John L. faced, but in his contests with the topnotchers they smashed John L's face and body with regularity Many of their wallops carried crushing force. Any other fifhter than John L. probably would have gone down and out un der the impact But John l.. was impervious for more than ten years to knockout wallops. And so, in his argument that it wasn't necessary for him to learn how to ward off blows, he was, in the main, correct.
 After John l.. won from George M Robinson in San Francisco in March, 1884, he made a swing through the South and whipped the most promi- nent fighters who were starring in that section during that era. Alex ander Marks, Dan Henry, and Will liam Fleming, of Galveston, Hot Springs and Memphis. went down and out in the first round before the Sullivan onslaught. In Nashville he took on and whipped Enos Phillips in four rounds. Meanwhile, he was beating all corners for the $100 prize

were a luxury. The TOmmies would
splash around in the water and then
come out n sit In the sun and have
what they termed n "shirt hunt" AT
first we tried to drown the Coolies"
but they also seemed to enjoy the bath.
One Sunday morning the whole sec

ing q gay time, when the sergeant ma.
jOr appeared on the scene. He came
to the edge Of the creek and ordered {:
"Comc out Of 1t. Get your equipment
on, drill order and fall in for bath

have only got fifteen minutes" A howl
Of Indignation from the creek greeted
this order. but Out we cnme. Disci-

onets (why you need rifles and bayo-
nets to take a bath gets me). u full

towel. After an cigi.t-kilo march along
a dusty road, with an occasional shell
whistling overhead, We arrived at a
little squat frame building upon the
bank of n creek. Nailed over the door
Of this building was n large sign which
