Versatile Man
Executed Much
Theater Beauty

Several features of the new
Valley Theater are worthy Of spc
cial notice judging by the many
favorable comments heard when
the building was thrown open to the
public Wednesday evening.
Edward Raymond who has been n
resident of FL Centre for ut least
seven years is responsible for the
installation of the lighting system
the decorating, and stage effects.
Raymond has lived more or less
evontful life, including circus and
stage-careers. Many years ago he
was a trapeze performer, later he
became q scenic artist, property
man, and motion picture machine
operator in San Francisco. Locally
he has been associated with the old
L. and S. theater and more recent
ly with the Palace as machine oper-
ator.
The lighting effects which have
been made possible by Raymond S
ingenuity are comparable to those
of the largest metropolitan play
houses. The rainbow hued flood
light circuits placed in the huge in
verted ceiling chandeliers send ont
pleasing effects which tint every
thing beautifully rs they are flash
ed off and on. The side bowl
brackets are similarly wired and
may produce harmouizing or con-
trasting lights.
The mural decorations through
out the new Valley Theater are the
work of Raymond also and are note
worthy because of the rough sur
face upon which the painting was
done. The stage decoration was al
so his work. The fine quality of
his work is quite apparent and has
impressed persons who have. seen
similar efforts elsewhere. All Of
the decorating was done in the day,
time while nightly he was on the job
as operator.

Ever after that incident Burrrh m
was known as Watch Burnham.
Fans Tire of WranglinE.
This batting of ympires is not near
ly 50 popular nowadays as it was
thirty years ago. One reason for that
is that it is not SO popular with the
public. The fans get tired of continual
wrangling. Naturally. they prefer to
see ball game. that being what they
came for. Players often do not real
ize this. They think only of the game
they are trying to win.
Umpire batting and so-caIled
rowdyism go together. Both are grad
ually disappearing from the game.
The players themselves have helped
to bring this about There is no ques-
tion that the average of intelligence
is higher now than it was thirty
years ago. Mental training and men
tai discipline do more than anything
to make d man hold his temper. With
that also comes dignity. Any intel
Hgent and well trained man realizes
keep up rowdyism. 1t never gets him
anywhere. 1t will be noted that much
of the old batting and rowdyism dis
appeared with the advent of the coll
lege men in numbers. At school they
are trained to respect the authority of
umpires, referees, and field judges.
In baseball the training sticks with
them. 1t is rare that you see a col
lege player in a long, senseless dis
pute with an umpire.
Often. though, the umpires them
selves are rowdies at heart.

KlLBANE, ALTHOUGH 35.
EXPECTS TO LICK CRIQUI

Although Johnny Kilbane is thirty
five and his hair is rapidly turning TO
silver. the Cleveland veteran has no
idea of losing the featherweight title
to Eugene Criqui when they battle
here next May. Kilbane has held the
title since 1912. He has not been Il
very popular champion. He was al
ways doing something or neglecting
to do something that left him open to
a world of adverse criticism, but SO
far as clean living is concerned
Johnny certainly has been a credit to
the ring.
The excellent care he has taken OF
his health and condition explains Kill
bane's ability to fight a his advanced
age. Jack Britton was tnirty-seyen
when he lost the welterweight title.
but he was able to keep, himself in
hgh ting trim by boxing steadily. Kill
bane dons the gloves only at long in
tervals. That is way 1t will be such
to defend his crown successfully. l. is
decidedly difficult matter fo,r man
of his age to come back after a long
let down in fistic activity. kilbane be
lieves in plenty of fresh air and hard
work as the best means of keeping fit
during the long intervals between his
ring engagements. Recently he pur-
chased a farm near Cleveland, and
none of his hired men does more
work than he. This has kept him at
weight and all he will need when he
begins training for the Criqui match
is a little boxing to sharpen his eyes
and some roadwork to get his wind
into shape.

But this time he will come, beyond
doubt. He has cleaned UP a small

1t is not SO much what Ffrpo has
accomplished. but the manner of ac-
complishment. the splendid physique
or. the man and his hitting ability
that have inspired confidence in him.
He knows little about the scientific
side of ring practice, and to date he
has been unwilling to learn, his idea
being that those who could teach him,
such man say as Jimmy De Forest.
would put something over on him.
Thinks Luis Has Possibilities.
There is no greater teacher of fight
ing than Jimmy De Forest. Even 50

was willing to accept points from
him, and so was Jack Dempsey. De
Forest says that with a years in
struction he thinks Firpo would give
Jack a tremendous battle. He will
not say that Luis could beat Jack, be-
cause he regards the champion as the
finest type of natural fighter the
world has produced. while Firpo will,
at his highest development, be only
a representative of the made type.
But he does think that with Demp-
sey beginning to slip a bit. as viii
happen in a year or SO, Firpo could
wrest the title from him, provided
Firpo develops logically.
Will he beat Brennan Bill has
slowed up and Firpo might trim him.
but if he does he is a. better man
right now than lot of critics think
he is.

How Umps. Got Nickname.
Pack in the nineties We had famous
umpire known as Watch Burnham.
He acquired this nickname through q
run in with Joe Kelley in game at
Baltimore. Joe will not forget that in
cident to his dying day.
The fans of Baltimore had presented
Joe with a very valuable watch. Arriv-
ing at the clubhouse one day, he turned
the watch over to the attendant to keep
for him. After the players had gone
out on the field Umpire Burnham came
IN to dress. The clubhouse man had
to leave and he asked Mr.. Burnham n
he would keep kelley's watch until
after the game. which he did.

In the third or fourth inning of the
game Kelley was called out at second

Immediately there was a rush Of play
ers to argue with the umpire. We wran-
gled and wrangled for several minutes.
Eventually Burnham got US all off but

following Burnham all over the da-

ordered, ''or I'll put you out of the

Put vino out?' snarled Kelley, fol-
lowing him up.

But Joe couldn't be quieted. He con-
tinued to nag after Burnham. Finally
the umpire pulled his watch.
You've got just one minute TO get
back and play ball." he told Kelley,
'ior I'll forfeit the game

CIRCUIT OF TIC great GdSleIu SHOWS.
With the preliminary details for
the show well in hand. the bench show
committee is ready to turn over its
George F. Foley. who is scheduled to
arrive i'll Washington on Tuesday.
Foley will bring with him q corps of
assistants and handlers who will care
for the. early shipments which come
here from distant points. A large
portion of the baggage room at Union
station has been reserved for the ac-
commodation of the incoming ship
ment of dogs, and the transfer COM
panies have arranged to make de-
liveries to the. Coliseum as soon as
possible after the dogs have been un-
loaded.
A unique and quite accidental
feature of the show will be-the ex-
hibit of the largest and the smallest
dogs owned in America. Each dog is
a champion and naturally represents
perfection in his breed. Champion
Little Pedro, Chihuahua from the
La Rex Doll kennel of Mrs. Peaster of
Ph1ladelph1a, claims the title as most
diminutive. weighing only ,one and
seven-eighths pounds. while Cham
pion baily shannon: from Mrs. Glenn
Stewarts Irish wolfhound kennels, is
the largest, standing thirty-nine
inches at the shoulder and Weighing
1S5 pounds.
Mrs. Stewart has entered three of
her wolfhounds. which are under
stood to be the best that England
mas produced in this breed. Other
entries from the La Rex Doll kennel
include three Chihuahuas which have
attained their championship titles and
SIX which are making their debut at
the local show. :

NAVAL ACADEMY POOL
TO Be ONE OF FINEST

It is believed that the new pool at

have ben asked. will be one of the
finest possessed by any institution.
1t will he used only for athletic pur-
poses, as the regular instruction in
swimming will continue in the old
pool. 1t will be placed between the
gymnasium and the east wing of
Bancroft Hall.
The pool will be 20 by so yards.
making possible the swimming OF all
regular distances with even laps. 1t
will have seats for about 1000 per-
sons, this being more, il is believed.
than any either college pool. The
sanitary arrangements are unique,
one of them being a series of show
ers so\arranged that no one can enter
the pool without having every por-
tion of the body thoroughly sprayed.
