DOTSON-DUNLAP
MATCH Is NEXT
SPORT OFFERING

Chickasha is threatened with an.
other wrestling match and il past
records are to be considered it will
be a lively affair. The proposed bout
is scheduled between Oscar Dotson,
the wrestling blacksmith, champion
of Oklahoma and Kansas avenu
and Dode Dunlap, the lad from the
Rock Island shops who is a grappler
just because he likes the game.
These men will meet on April 25
and as wrestling matches go it
should be some mill. One thing is
double copper-rivited cinch. 1t will
be on the square. Not that Dotson
ever crooked q match in his life,
but il he tried to put this one on the
sldetrack he couldn't do it. This for
the reason that the only way he can
set decision over Dunlap is simply
t. go out on that mat and beat him.
This Dunlap party has made be-
levers out of all comers during the
past few years and has defied any
one to name time in his career

New York, April 19.--In every city
which is a logical cenetr of distribu-
tion of motion picture features there
are places which are known in the
Industry as Junk shops" The pro-
vince of these establishments is to
supply on short notice substitutes
for the features that failed to arrive
en- time and enable the theater man
ager to make pretense OF keeping
faith with his patrons.
1t might be supposed that in Great
ing the largest customer the film
producers and distributors now have,
and in less than one year, the Y. NJ.
G. A. would be foisting a large part
Of the stocks of these Junk shops"
on the fighting men in camp and
trench and on the battle fleet of the
nation. In just about eight months
the Y M. C. A. has accepted from
the government the responsibility
for the entertainment of the men on
the firing lines or in training for the
day when they will take their places
in the trenches or the submarine
zone. The Y M. c. A. has accepted
that responsibility and today is pro-
jecting every week in America and
in France more than 100000 feet
IL film a week. And of these 1,6OO,.
600 reels that are going out today
less than 100000 reels were produc-
ed prior to last August.
The best is none too good for the
fighting men OF this republic, the Y.
NJ. C. A. holds. That is why the
association las become the biggest
customer the best producers and dis
tributors have, but not the best il
profit is to be considered, because
there is no profit in this tremen-
dous business to any one. The mo-
