Amboy Garage Company roof and
then into the building next to the
Majestic theatre from where they
went to the street. The loot was left

Harold Lloyd at Ditmas

Is Harold Lloyd the screens
comedy king?
That is an interesting question and
a question that James w. Dean,
prominent syndicate writer and mo-
ton picture critic knew would cause
considerable comment. In fact, Mr..
Dean began the controversy by syn
dicating a story through prominent
newspapers throughout the country
and thusly started the ball rolling.
He wrote:
THE barber was talking as he
welded his razor. Valentino is a
great actor. he thinks, but William
Farnum is greater. And who is his
favorite actor OF all? Harold Lloyd.
Does he think lloyd better than
Chaplin. 4 should say he answers.
Chaplin is always the same. Lloyd
is always different

WHITE SOX SEEK
ANEVEN BREAK
WITH GR|FFS

Chicago hopes to gain an even
break for the season in it's games
with Washington when Kid Glea-
sons men tackle the Griffs today
at American League Park.
Fred Marberry's expert pitching
in his first start as a major Lacquer
gave the Griffs a STOP victory
and an advantage of one game on
the White Sox. Washington has
won eleven from the pale hose and
lost ten.
The performance of Marberry
who came here from Little Rock,
in the Southern Association, stamp.
ed him as an excellent prospect to
strengthen the Griffs' haphazzard
pitching staff. He was steady at
all times, cool under fire, and al.
together looked the part of a zeal
pitcher.
Marberry's curve was a distinct
puzzle and his fast ball had a
quick hop. Only one of the Sox's
runs was earned.
Bob Murray, rookie thirdsacker
from Nashville, shows considerable
promise. Murray has handled every
fielding chance with the skill of n
veteran. He is fast on the bases
and apparently has a batting eye.
He is becoming a favorite with
the handful of fans who daily
watch the Griffs play.

last one of last years regulars to

year was second to none In he

well. Palmer, Steger and Parker
seem to have the best possibilities,
and it is quite possible that "kip's'
understudy will be chosen from
these four.
The filing Of the fullback posi-
ton vacated by CappOn is also
causing the staff considerable
worry and while men can be
found who excel In one depart
ment, q man who can do all OF
the required work is an exception.
Miller, of the 1921 freshman
team, and Meier, who is without
any experience on the freshman

practice, are at present the most
likely looking candidates for this
