DAWES.

One of the most thrilling fights that has been staged for a motion picture in a long time occurred in Para mount studio for scenes in ftHer Hus- bands Trademark III which Gloria Swanson stars for Paramount at the Dave theatre tonight.
 The scene was the interior of a Mexican hacienda and the place being raided by Mexican bandits was de- tended by Richard Wayne who plays the leading male role, while Miss Swanson looked on in terror. The fight occurred partially on the stair way and Wayne tore away the balus- trade newell post and beat off the rifles of the attackers. Sam Wood. in directing, worked the scene up to a climatic pitch, until in the realism of the moment it almost partook of actua1ity and before they were through the bandits and Wayne were almost fighting in reality. Miss Swanson's screams weren't altogether feigned-it was a, very exciting mo- ment, to say the least.

WEST END.

With Dorothy Dalton in Hhe featured role, George Ielfords big Paramount production, t'Moran of the Lady Letty," an adaptation of the novel by the late Frank Norris, will be shown at the West End theatre tonight. Ru- do1ph Valentino. who was featured with Agnes Ayres in ''The Sheik," MT. MeIford's preceding production, has the male lead of Ramon Laredo. Charles Brindley is Capt. Sternersen; Emil Jorgensen plays the part of Nels; Maude Wayne is Josephine Her rick; Cecil Holland is cast as BiI Trim; Walter Long plays Capt. Kitch- ell and George Kuwa is Charlie Wong. This is believed to be one of the strongest subjects for the screen that could be found. Frank Norris was a master story-teiler whose -un- timely death robbed the world of a literary genius. Moran of the Lady Betty'' is an adventure tale of Pa cific seas, with thrills and the salt tang of the ocean in every scene.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-(Unlted
Press) Arguments between the
major and the minor leagues over
the craft question are too oompli.
Gated a matter for the ordinary fan
to get himself wildly excited about.
One OF the easiest ways 10 ex-
plain the differences between the
minor and major leagues on the
draft is to turn 90 page OF the
report OF John Farrell. secretary OF
the national association and find:
Amount paid for assignment
OF contracts, minors to
majors ... .Hos4tOoV
Additional amounts due II
players are retained &C.. 2a2,SbO
That Is a total Of s1,217,4OO that
the minors drew in one season for
sales OF layers 10 the major league.
II the draft prevailed, the names
OF those players would be stuck in
a hat. the major league owDers
would pull them out and give the
owners Of the player an amount
varying from $500 TO $500.
The players that went up 10 the
majors during the last season ana
the ones that are going up next
spring might have drawn more than
5000, 900 in the draft.
Ban Johnson, crlticizing the re-
fusal Of the leading minor leagues
to accept the draft said that send
ing players 20 them is like throwing
the players in bondage. How about
the two rookie ehortstops the Yanks
bought?

WALTER JOHNSON.
Seems mighty strange to look over
the pitching averages OF the Amer
lean League and see three or four
pitchers topping Walter johnson In
the matter Of strikeouts.
When at he top OF his game II
used 70 be a cinch for johnson 20
carry off the strike-out honOrs with
out half trying. Every record made
by johnson is the result OF wonder
ful natural ability rather than a
desire to bask in the spotlight.
Records don't mean a thing to
Walter johnson. II they had, he
would have 20 his, credit some pitch-
ing performances that would stand
for all time.
1 recall one game in which John
son got seven men on strikes in the
first three innings. He was simply
unhitable that day, his speed was
terrific. In the fourth inning HRS
team got him a hve-run lead.
Now most pitchers with, seven
strlkeouts registered in three in
nings would have tried to set new
mark. Not johnson, for the mo-
ment his team gave him a ffve-run
working. margin he eased UP. In
the game 1 have reference TO he
struck out something like only 10
men.
The fact that johnson Is being
topped in the matter OF strlkeouts
simply means that Walter Is con-
serving every bit of energy for the
good Of his team.
