In The Theatres
MAJESTIC


 Those folks who complain that there is nothing new under the sun will have another think coming after they witness the performance of the PoI Players in ''The Broken Wing at the Majestic theatre this week. Here is 2 play that contains none or the trite situations which the authors might have been tempted to use, and it is especially distinctive for the req son that 1t thrills theatregC5rs with one of the most sensationally effec- tive scenes yer put on the stage.
 Everybody is talking about that somewhere the airplane, it's wing broken, comes whizztng down out of the sky and blows it's way through a little house on the other side of the Mexican border. This is not a movie effect, either. Everything is done right before your eyes, on the stage. half describing it, at all. It Is more than convincing in its realism, and Furthermore, it is perhaps the best stage effect conceived in modern theatrical history.
 While the crashing airplane alone Is worth the price of admission, The Broken Wing has plenty of other attributes. You might say that 1t Is a love story-the love of a Yankee airman for 8. Mexican senOrita, but it is something more than that. It shows people on the other side Of the border. real people, and shows them just as they are and not as some people might think they are. In other words, they are all human beings, and, like the airplane effect, 1t is hard to convince yourself that ''The Broken Wing is not real story, that it is all theatrical. And that's how good 1t is.
 ''Dreams for sale,' one of the most years. will be the attraction next week.

POLL PALACE,

The pOpuIarlty of little Jackie Coogan, the tiny tragedian of the screen now at the PoH Palace in 'OIiver Twist continues unabated at the big playhouse and the consensus of opinion is that the picture is one of the most notable contributions to the screen ever made and thoroughly in accord with the best interests not only of the American public but of the American theatre.
 In producing Oliver Twist the director has taken with a logical hand those portions of the novel that could most readily be welded together into a plot paralleling that told by Dickens the story of how Monks first tried to destroy the soul of Oliver and then

CARPENTERS BLOW
 WAS LEGITIMATE
So Says Referee Who Officiated in
 Last Nights Bout

London, May 12.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-The blow with which Georges Carpenter knocked out Ted (kid' Lewis in the first round of their championship bout here last night was legitimate in the judgement of the so-called experts who report the fight. Cries of "foul' came from all parts of the Olympia auditorium when the decisive blow was struck.
 Joe Palmer the referee, is quoted in the Daily Telegraph as saying;
 "rhe blow was pere~ctly fair, The men had broken from a clinch and it was Lewis business to protect him. self. This he failed to do."
 Lewis Not Cautious
 It was asserted by some of the newspaper writers that Lewis had several times delivered blows on previous breakaways though they did not get home. and his failure to guard himself in the final break is declared an amazing blunder which was in defiance of the clements of boxing.
 One or two of the commentators however while conceding that Carpen- tier by the strict letter of the rules was entitled to act as he did, complain that his conduct lacked regard for the spirit of the regulations which the Frenchman has invariably displayed in his previous fights.
 Will be Long Debated
 While agreeing that he was rightly proclaimed winner, they predict that the legitimacy of a knockout during a breakaway will be long debated and that Lewis supporters are likely to stick to their opinion that the blow was foul especially sthey can argue that Lewis was at tn emoment lsten- ing to the referees admonitions.
 For the fight as a fight. however nobody has praise. The Times critic says the contest was as bad as it could have been and must have ended in if it had not termin- ated as it did. The Daily Chronicle expert describes it as a positive tra- vesty on boxing and says both partici- pants were equally guilty of tactics outside the legitimate.

BASEBALL BECOMES
 A SPORT IN JAPAN
Teams Are Being Formed and
 Enthusiasm Is Shown

St Louis, Mo, May 12-Japan is rapidly adopting the. American sport of baseball according to Herbert H. Hunter, former St. Lauis National player. who has returned from his second year of baseball missionary work in Japan, where he coached the teams of Waseda and Roo Univers- ities at Tokio.
 Hunter says that Nipponese are eager to establish baseball as their national sport, and are making eff forts to form professional baseball league of six teams. The two lead ing universities of the nation are sponsoring the movement
 Prepare For Teams.
 The former Cardinal outfielder be- came interested in the work in 1920, when Prof. Isoo Abe of Waseda Uni versity. known as the Father of Baseball" in Japan, asked him to come to Tokio and assist in coaching the teams Hunter consented and now is preparing to take team of National League stars for tour of Japan next fall if he can obtain the approval of Judge Landis.
 He pictures the Japanese as apt students of baseball with a desire to learn all of it's attendant Slang" The Waseda University nine, which toured America two years ago, caught many of the expressions common to the players here and adopted them, he declared.
 In Japan, he continued, baseball coaching Is done in the English lan- guage.
 Enter Sport Gladly.
 Tt is very amusing to hear the catcher encouraging his pitcher to knock this bird off, or advising one of his fellow players to crown that old apple They have thoroughly as simulated most of the expressions used by American players.
 If baseball continues to advance with its present stride in Japan, be- lieve that we will be playing an an nual international series before long. The Japanese boys do not equal our major league stars in ability, but sev- eral members of the Waseda team could make good in the minor leagues.
 Interest in baseball increases every | year and find that the higher class of people are taking to it. However, boys from all classes play their own little corner lot games.'
 Manager Hickey of the Cardinals has agreed to give Hunter his un- release so that he may spend the summer perfecting plans | for the proposed fall tour of Japan.
