He carried all the way from Kensngton and exploded
follows:
II have been reading about this bout between Wilde

about Wilde giving nine ten pounds battle
That's all bunk. Murray isn't heavyweight or
anything like that He is not bantam. He weighed
for this morning and what do suppose he weighed
Give 1t up? Well, he tipped the beam at 10 pounds and
what do you think of that?
II also had him down to 107 pounds and he was
strong Don't you believe it? Well, wait and see. That
kid will surprise you.
He has been training in the mountains in Kensng-
ton, taking lots Of road work and there has been
cheating Joe Borrel, champion middleweght travels

Joe speaks his language fuenty He is in great shape
honest he is.

Age Of Punch
THIS seems to be the Age of the
L Punch in sport. At least, ability
to Sock is the attribute Of most Of
the drawing cards who lure the crowds
out for inspection.
The biggest card in baseball is Babe
Ruth, the mightiest .''socker" of all
time. The Babe has the punch Of a six =
inch howitzer employing a double zero
charge.
Abe Mitchell, the British sensation
in golf. Is the longest hitter in the
| game-one of those terrific wallopers
| who can hammer the ball fat when he
leans against it.
Walter Hagen. the United States
open golf champion. is another crasher.
Hagen's game has the punch, his power
being especially effective in iron play.
Gerald Patterson. the Australian ten :
mis- sensation. is another rugged hitter.
He. too; belongs to the six foot, 200
pound class who have bulk to throw in
back of speed.
Tilden. one Of the leading tennis
players. is a slashing hitter. and any
one who thinks that Bill Johnston's
forehand doesn't carry the punch is en-
titled to sit down and do some more
thinking.
Dave Heron and Bobby Jones, lead
ing amateurs. are both crashers. Anc
no one has yet invented a harder punch
ing machine than Jack Dempsey.
It's the age Of Blooie-the Epoch oi
Sock. Crash. Biif and Bang. The Grove
is hunting the noise Of the wallop.

Another memorable chapter is being
written into Orpheum history this week,
Gertrude Hoffman, 1.-THE worlds great
est show woman" is appearing in her
newest vaudeville production, which is
declared to mark the highest point in
her career of Incompatible accomplish
ments. This season, Miss Hoffman is
seen in brilliant series of dances and
representations, calculated to meet the
highest expectations of all her many
admirers.
Although unlike some Of her previous
acts in which she was surrounded with
a large cast, principally chicken, Miss
Hoffman's latest offering is a one
woman revue, it boasts of her unusual
artistry In costuming, staging and
mounting, together with an augmented
orchestra under the direction of Max
Hoffman.
In another sense, however, Miss Hoff-
man is not alone in the presentation
Of her spectacular entertainment, for
the scenic effects and dressing re-
quirements are of such unique and IN
volVed nature as to make necessary
the carrying of a large staff of stage
help.
The first part Of Miss Hoffman's pro-
gram, which is the dancing part, opens
with a Spanish number of rare charm
and concludes with 1.-The Dance of The
Allies" creation which by itself
stamps its originator as genius of
showdom and settles the offering in
vaudevilles hall of famous acts.
The second portion is taken up with
impressions of stage celebrities in
Guiding Ann Pennington, Eddie Foy,
Fannie Brice and Bessie Mccoy and
throughout Miss Hoffman's exceptional
gifts In mimicry are at their best. AS
a sort Of an extra Miss Hoffman con-
cludes her performance with what she
calls trip to Coney Island: This num-
Der provides the versatile Orpheum
superstar an opportunity to display her
masterful handling of the drum and
it's accessories and makes luscious
dessert to a versatile theatrical feast.
