NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Jim Coffroth,
the American promoter. seems to have
made a triple jump into the king row
in the game after the uBnpsey-Car-
pentier light.
Breaking the silence which has
hung over the Dempsey camp since
last July on subjects pertaining to the
real business, Jack Kearns has an
nounced that he has signed the cham
pion's services over to Coffroth.
A purse of 100000 for forty-i4ve
round fight in Tia Juana, Lower Cali
fornia prompted the champion to get
out of the camera focus long enough
to scribble his John Harrison" on
an agreement.
Coffroth now faces the task Of get
ting the French aviator, Monsieur
Carpenter to some ink on the second
line. His lot seems more hopeful than
that of Chas. Cochrane, the London
produc er who is here chasing Demp-
sey with a parchment signed by the
bloster of England's hopes.
Cochrane 1t seems made a bum play
too early in the game. Instead OF get
ting the champion in close quarters
for his bid of 100000 hs exposed his
hand and Coffroth Immediately slam

MOVING PICTURES.

s.Staking His Life" the gripping
drama, starring William S. Hart, who
is supported by Louise Glaum and
Charles Ray, to be shown at the
Colonial theater tonight and tomor-
row, portrays' an evil usually at
tributed to the church, but. as the
plot points out, such evils as the
public mind connects with the great
institution Of God are but the puny
smalInesses and petty personalities
of the man-appointed interpreters OF
religion. Stalking His Life" does
not preach or moralize. Without any
deliberate intention. perhaps, the ex.
PLANTATION and lesson are brought
out. The story is a tense, powerful
drama, a character study Of the life
OF a western boy who grows to man
hood amid the gentle crudities of the
west.
It is a powerful photodrama, with
the greatest portrayer Of western
life. William s. Hart-a drama that
will live long in the public memory.
