FLAWLESS ART OF GREAT
 NAZIMOVA IS FILMED IN
 STRONGER THAN DEATH

The magic name Nazimova needs no introduction to Cordova theater goers. All who love the best in art welcome the announcement of one of productions
 stronger Than Death" her latest and perhaps her best picture, is play ing tonight and tomorrow, at the Empress. In this wonderful classic or the screen-adapted from the novel, The Hermit Doctor of Gava" by l. A. R. Wylie-the worlds great est actress is seen in a role that splendidly displays her almost un. canny powers as mistress of the hu man emotions.
 It is a romance of India, the mys. terious land of purple shadows. It is alive with tremendous happenings. with drama that carries a thrill and a punch; with love story that possesses all the beauty and nobility of classic fiction.
 AS Sigrid Fersen, a famous dancer of London and Paris, Nazimova has full opportunity for her superb DOW CTS as emotional actress, and for the marvellous dancing for which she is famed.
 The story is a romance of Anglo India, and of the London dancer who found love in the land of mystery. The biggest dramatic scene is where Nazimova dances on the steps of the temple, in the moonlight. The ua- t1ves, who are planning a massacre, believe it to be the spirit of the sacred dancer of the temple. Sigrid's doctor told her that "her next dance will be her death," but in despera- ton she dances long enough to en- able the loyal British regiments to rally to the defense of the whites.
 In the splendid supporting cast are Charles Bryant, Charles w. French. Herbert Prior, Charles w. Wade, Millie Davenport, Henry Harmon, w. H. Orlamond and Bhogwan Singh.

Match.
OUIMET ALSO DELIVERS
BY FRANK CARRUTHERS,
Editor of Golf illustrated.

HOY LAKE. England. May 2S-Bobby
Jones, the youthful golf genius from Ats
lanta, Ga, scored the first victory for
the American invaders in the British
amateur championship which started here
today.
Jones and G. C. Manford Of Luffness
New, were the first to get away, teein2
off at 80 o'clock this morning. Joness
defeated his opponent, winning his first
round match, up and 2 to play.
On the first nine holes Jones made
sensational start, winning the first hole
in three. Par for this hole Is four.
seven and four yard puts. Jones topped
mis- approach to the fifth, but squared
with Manford on the sixth and went out
one up.
R. r. Burton, of Mid Surrey, defeated
Thompson, an American, though not
member Of the team, and l. Angus
Hambro, NJ. P, of the Royal and Ancient
Golf Club. beat Douglas Grant Of Royal
st. Georges. a former California cham
pion, 2 up.
Jones card on the homsward course
was not as impressive as his play go
Ing out. Manford gave him the eleventh
ley, being short twice. On the fourteenth
he drove into the brushes and looked
likely to lose the hole, but Manford, in
putting, knocked the Americans ball q
ydIu nearer the mole ana Lne0 missed q
yard putt himself.
Francis Ouimet Of Boston turned in the
second victory for the American golf
team in the first round Of the champions
ship when he defeated c.. E. Dick, Royal

mour, 1 up.
J. Wood Plat. who was to have met
Maj. H. A Boyd, was forced out of play
in the championships by an injury. He
fell downstairs and badly injured his leg,
which had to be placed in splints.
The beginning Of today's tournament
marked Americas first big challenge OF
the year to Great Britain on the golf
links and they met a veritable army, for
the British Isles has more than 200 en-
trants.
Though some of the knowing ones re-
veal an inclination to discount Bobby
Jones as q caIlow youth who may crack
under the strain of this big champion
ship tourney, there is no doubt but that
the public at large has its eye on the
child wonder" Warden even publicly
declares that Jones is a child geniu."
Jones certainly showed no nervousness
today.

Pirates Threaten TO
Clinch Pennant Early

NEW YORK, May 23.-George Glib
sons pounding Pittsburgh Pirates are
surely blazing a livid trail down tho Ma

With four-and a half game lead over
the second place Giants, the Pirates have
tight grip on nr.t place today, and If
the form they are Nhowing means any
thing the end is not It.
With nearly 10000 rapid fans looking
on, the Pirates opened their series at the
Polo Grounds by trimming the Giants
Sunday And they came from behind

No Pittsburgh club since the days Of
1909 has looked half so good. Gibson 8
boys seem to do everything well and
their playing is full OF the speed and
snap that is inspired by confidence and
perfect co ordination among the mem
bers Of the team.
Having won twenty i've games and lost
but six, with the season little more than
month old, Pittsburgh has laid fine
foundation on which 10 build a cham
plonship. and unless the pitchers crack
the critics are beginning 90 believe that

Indians Hope for Victory Be
hind Pitching of Veteran
Cavet.
BEAT BREWERS SUNDAY

KANSAS CITY, No, May 23.-Jack
Hendricks Indians were here today
ready TO open a series with the leading
Blues this afternoon and local fans were
all worked up over the contest. Hen
bricks stated he had slated Pug Cayet
for mound duty in the opener and for
this reason the HoOsier athletes felt con-
fident they would down the Blues. 1t
is Hendricks plan TO push Cavet back
against the Kaws Thursday If the vet
eran came through with flying cOlOrs
today.
The Indians were somewhat train weary
when they reached here today, for they
left Milwaukee yesterday evening a 30,
Immediately following their 10 TO vic
tory over the Brewers. The Sunday vic
tory gave the Indians an even break with
the BrewtOwn gang and they were for
tunate to get that much Of a break, con.
sidertng the shaky condition the pitching
stan is in. Stryker, Weaver and En-
mann all were on the mound Sunday, the
last named doing an excellent job after
he entered the fray. In the meantime the
Hoosiers bombarded NOrthrOp and Barnes
for plenty Of hits and runs and. when
the curtain dropped the Indians certainly
had marked up a decisive victory. Baird
got a home run and the other hitting
feature was contributed by Hank Schrei-
Der, who crashed the ball for two triples
and a single.
The Saturday contest at Milwaukee
went TO the Brewers by a z to 9 score,
three Brewer home runs putting the Tribe
out Of the running. EnZmann, Bartlett
and Stryker hurled at various times in
the Saturday contest. The HoOsiers ha0
tied the game in the ninth, but q Hauser
home run followed in the Brewers half
OF that inning, and that clOut ended the
days hOstilities.
Rube Lutzke. Tribe utility infelder,
did not accompany the team to Kansas
City, and he has been placed on the
suspended list. Rube objected to bench
duty, but Manager Hendricks could not
use him in the face OF the good work
being done by the regulars. Lutzke lives
in Milwaukee and he decided it was a
good spot to retire in. The Rube is
rated a good fielder, but he Is a weak
hitter and a poor base runner.
Pitcher Seiffert has been turned back
TO the Reds and it is understood that he
has been transferred to the Terre Haute
Three-I League team. He did not show
sufficient class for the American Associa-
ton.
Manager Hendricks is walking the floor
over the shaky Tribe pitching situation.
Stryker is complaining Of a weak side
and he may not be available in the
series here.
After four games with the Blues, the
Indians viii head for home Thursday
night. Friday is an Off-day, but on sat
urday the Indians will get plenty Of
action when they meet the Louisville
Colonies in a doubIe-header at Wash
ington Park.

Day of Big Scrap
COrbett Says It's Somewhat
Different From Days Of
His FiSticufs.
BY JAMES J. CoRBETT,
Former Worlds Heavyweight Champion.

Former Worlds Heavyweight Champion.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. May 23.-All rec
ords for championship boxing receipts
will fall July 2 when Dempsey and
Carpenter meet.
The turnstiles will click off a merry
million dollar tune.
The boxers will earn the biggest divi-
dends in the history of the game and
Promoter Tex Richard will realize a rec
ord sum for himself.
When one pauses to consider that q
man in the public eye should be worth
fair share of what he can attract to
the box office criticism of the financial
features of the big fight seems unfair.
In the fact of conditions existing today
and the popularity of the match. l do
not believe Richards guarantee to the
fighters Is too large.
$4,000 PURSE BIG
IN THE OLD DAYS
Dempsey will receive SO per cent for
ms end. Carpenter will get p per cent.
NO doubt their shares of the receipts will
total well above 100000 originally
In the old days of boxing such purses
were never dreamed Of The first big
purse ever fought for in this country was
oHered to Peter Jackson and myself,
letic Club Of San Francisco.
This match was made after fought
Choynskt and when the matchmaker Of
the club approached me 1 demanded
a purse Of $4,000, to be split, $500 to
thought was crazy. Everybody
laughed at me. But the club finally
agreed.
III never forget that fight, for two
reasons. In the first place, Jackson and
fought sixty-one rounds over a period
OF four hours. Last, but not least, I
did not get a cent for my efforts. When
the sixty-frst round ended they declared
the bout no contest and l was skinned
out Of my money. I'm sure that Jack
return match before the club. He
wouldn't have done that otherwise.
Prior to that time any big money car
ried off by boxers was the result Of side
a $4,000 purse
John L. Sullivan and I fought for
purse of $4,000 and $4,000 stake money
at New Orleans in 1892 In 1897 Fitz-
simmons and l drew 800, 900 at Carson
City. The gate for my bout with Kid
Mccoy in New York in 1900 was S56.35O
and when JEFF and I fought in San Fran
cisco in 1905 the boxing public turned
SG3 $40 into the box office.
In those days $4,000 was big money
1t went almost as far as $4,000 would
go today. The cost of living was rea-
sonable and the boxer who carted ten
grand" was indeed fortunate. So I con
slider that in many ways l was almost
as well paid for several of my fights as
the stars of pugilism today
Beginning tomorrow, l will take up
with my readers a series of discussions
Of the important fights Carpenter and
Dempsey have had. Within q short time
VIII be with the fighters again, and
by that time l expect they will be show
Ing something worth while in training.
