THE PLAZA.

"The Exquisite Thief" Priscilla Deans latest special attraction now being shown at the Plaza theatre is more than a swift moving, exciting s drama There Is & deeper note based on the theme of regeneration, that gives the picture heart appeal as well as intense interest. The underlying idea of The Exquisite Thief" is that in the matter of character, two wrongs can make a rIght-that two criminals, remorseless and unre- pentent, when alone can so react upon each other that together they can accomplish what would be be- yond their strength of purpose if at tempted singly. It Is interesting and a bsorbing throughout the entire six reels.
 The vaudeville headliner is Gossler- Lusby Co.,, in a singing, dancing and piano revelation. Miss Lusby is a wonderful dancer and the turn re- received big applause last night. Will son and Larsen, in songs and comedy were very good, Florence Milllette has an unusual voice and sings a number of well chosen songs very pleasing.

CAREY MAY BE NEW
 BOSS OF PIRATE TEAM

Pittsburgh, July 31.-Hugo Bezdek is soon to resign his post as manager of the Pirates, and Max Carsy will succeed him as leader of the local club. according to a widely circualted report here. Rumors to this effect, which have bobbed up from time to time this season, again are rife, and Eezdek's absence from the club at present has served to strengthen them.
 The Pirate manager left the club when it was on the road some days ago to return to this city. and illness was given as his reason for making the move. However, Barney Dreyfuss was reported to have been ignorant of Bszdek's assertion and was report cd as saying he knew nothing of hsi managers physical condition.
 Carey. who recently rejoined the club after an enforced absence due to an abcess on his right arm, is now acting as the Pirates manager. It Is reported that Bezdeks contract to coach the football team at Penn State College calls for his presence at the college on Sept. IS and that he will not finish the present season with the Pittsburgh club. Bezdek vigorously denied this report some weeks ago, but the impression fingers here that he is through with major league baseball.

ENPEY TAKES VACATION,

Arthur Guy Empey returned last week from a vacation spent in the North woods and is now preparing to buckle down for work on the second of his series of six pictures, the first of which was ''The Undercurrent''
 When asked what kind of vaca- tion he had, MT. Empey replied: "I don't know whether I can say that I had a vacation or not. I went away with the firm determination to cast all thoughts of business out of my mind, so that I would come back re- freshed and ready for g real hard session. I decided to go to place in the North woods, where there would be nothing but trees and na- ture in the rough to disturb me and where I could just establish a perfect state of tranquility and forgetfulness.
 well, the solitude was there and the big trees were there, but I had no sooner arrived on the scene and set tied down to promote that state of tranquility I had been dreaming about when I began to see dusky forms darting about among the trees. These began to take form and before I knew 1t I was building pie ture situations and devising scenes to be arranged for the screen upon my return.
 After that there was no real rest for me, my mind was upon the things was going to produce, every tree seemed to be an inspiration, every thing seemed productive of ideas and so I went on building scene after scene until my vacation became naisnomer"

British Don't All
 Believe Americans
 Are Poor SpOrtsInen

New York, Aug. 1 - Tho recent tendency of some Canadian sports men (save the markD to squawk over the American achievements in the recent inter-allisd games in France have received due publicity.
 Now let us show that all sports men who suffer disappointment in competition do not squawk This concerns Chuck" Garland of Pitts burgh who played In the British lawn tennis championships at Wimbledon, and took his licking at the hands of the British star. Kingscote.
 Hear what a British pen had to say of the spirit that Garland show ed as he suffered the disappointment of defeat in what is considered the classic of lawn tennis. James Doug las writes in London opinion:
 We saw the great battle between KinEscots and Garland. and We were both glad and sorry when the Yale boy was barely beaten. How finely he took his defeat! There are idiots who say that Americans are not fine sportssnen. Don't believe it! It was thrilling to watch young Garland's smile as he galloped across the court to shake EiuEscote's hand. Bless my heart, I wanted to shake HIS hand. and so did all of us. If Enslishmeu and Americans can play the world game as Garland played the Vim bledon game. there will be peace and good will on the earth as long as we live"
 It is to be hoped that q few copies of London opinion containing this tribute Co American sportsmanship have found their way into Canada.

FANS
 NOT SAD OVER
 LOSS OF MAYS

Boston. Aug. While there may be some criticism over the fact that Mays has been disposed of to the Yankees his departure from Boston will awaken no sorrow in the hearts of Boston fans. Mays. 20 pounds over weight, has not been in condi- ton to do himself or the club jus tice this season, and on account of his desertion of the Red Sox two weeks ago was not wanted again by Boston patrons. Not even the Red Sex players themselves were willing Tor him to come back. In fact many of Barrows' men were anxious for him to be suspended for the balance of the year.
 FrazCe, however, takes the angle that Mays as an asset to the Boston club had ceased to exist and that it Is necessary for him to strengthen. He declares that he would never all low Mays to wear e Boston uniform gain. but that he realizes that in disposlng of him he can see a way to get added strength and an oppor- tuuity to rebuild the Red Sox. In addition to Russell and McGraw (both right-hand pltchers) he is to get an additional player and money consideration. This money, together with another bunch of the long green is to be paid over for another great twirler that the Sox expect to land within couple of days.
 Frazee announces that before the week Is out new players now being negotiated fo. will strengthen the team Tn it's weakest spots and that in the acquisition of one of the great est twirlers in the American League he has a man who will more than supply the loss sustained in Mays desertion.
 Russell and McGraw were suppos- ed to report in Boston yesterday. But # Mays, who is now in Pennsylvania, refuses to join the New York club. the deal arranged for IS entirely off.

PETE HERHlAN'S TITLE SOUGHT
 BY TM0 STARS

Now York. Aus. 1--There Is lot Of discussion starting now relative to She holding of the bantamwcight championship. Pete Herman of New Orleans Is the present incumbent, but he Is not very active at present and Is one of two champions who Is sitting idly by while others arc stalking their titles
 But Pete need net look far for op- pouents. The country Is full of them. It is said that Joe Lynch is about to loo matched with the cham pion, which intention has raised an obtscf.on from Joe Wagner, the man. ager of little Jack Sharkey. Joe says I.-nch Is afraid to meet Sharkey and .s making inferences that should arouse the fighting blood in Joe.
 'Some time ago" says Wagner. during business talk with Dom!nick Tortorlch at Toledo, "he told me that if I was successful in keeping Jack Sharkey from losing a decision match he would give me a chance at Her man for the title during the next race meet nt New Orleans.
 For some time, sammy Harris. tho Baltimore promoter. has been trying to match Joe Lynch and Jack Sharkey for a 15-round contest to a referee's decision, to take place at the ball park in Baltimore. Now. with Tortorich's promise in mind. I accepted the terms Harris offered me. having no fear of the outcome. You can imagine my surprise to learn that the match was not only off. but that Lynch's manager considers sharkey too tough a boy to meet in a decision contest. This is perfectly natural considering the fact that Sharkey holds two newspaper decisions over Lynch already. Harris letter, in part, says that there Is too much money boxing no decision bouts to be taking any chances with fellow like Sbnrkey in a decision fight"

RECOGNIZES DIRECTOR.

While on his vacation, Kenneth Webb attended a little theatre in a New England coast town. He wanted to see one of the pictures he had directed. Recognized by the owner he was introduced to the audience. Ken claims that while this has happened to many a star, he assures us that 1t is the first time such a particular fuss has been made over director. What is that about a prophet being not without honor save in his own country?
