today in declaring that the State

Dundee,s reason for withdrawal
while Barbarian claimed previous

Mandell and Terris. It is under

Leonard's abandoned 'aurels, then
sammy Mandell, Of Rockford. ILL.,,
and not SID ferris. ~ the East
Side, New York, Is the far more
deserving candidate. The so-called
sheik, out-speeded the ''dancin'
fool in seven out OF twelve
rounds, as saw 1t. Two we're
even and three went to ferris.
ferris made the same mistake
Abe Goldstein made against Cam

the last few rounds.

last two rounds II ATandeIl had

As &c was, the sheik sWar1ned
AL over his man In the eleventh
and twelfth rounds and thus left
the judges no alternative but to
declare him the winner. Sammy
was off his feet In the third, but
otherwise carried the pace ct III
times.

give the so-cal1ed dancing master

Samuel on the chin. He went
down as much under ferris rush
as from the force Of the blow and
was up before. the time keeper
could start 3. count.
Mandell was hurt. but managed
to convey an impression Of non
chalance for the remainder Of the
round, keeping FERRIS at his dis.
lance by straight lefts, Of which
ferris scored all too Few during the
proceedings. The fourth was Man
delI's, but the fifth again saw Ter
ris cross with his right. and Samuel
was once more in bad way. He
was almost out on his feet, and
Terris closed viciOusly with the idea
of finishing the business Twice
more he slapped Sammy silly with
rights to the jaw. but the young
man remained as was until the bell.
He won on the chin strap from
that moment Refreshed by the.
minutes inter1nissiou, he carried
the fight to FERRIS through the sixth

get an even break out OF the eighth
and was consistently outpuncned in

Z BRIEFS FILED
IN PROBE OF
MOVIES
Saenger and Famous Players
Concerns Both Deny Trade
Restraint

A flat denial that the Saenger
Amusement Company. Of New Or
leans, has conspired with the
Adolph luxor moving picture in
terests to restrain trade and mo-
nopolize the moving industry in
the South was contained In a brief
filed with the Federal Trade Com
mission today.
This corporation, named by the
Government as among the con-
spirators with the Famous Players
Lasky Corporation, in the action to
break up an alleged trust, holds
that it is operating as an indie
pendent organization in Louisiana,
Mississippi, Florida. Texas and
Arkansas.
The commission also received q
brief from the Famous-Players
Lasky Corporation, making a gen.
eraI denial of all allegations Of the
Government that it was seeking to
monopolize the industry.
It is expected that prior to No
vember 10, by which time all an.
swers of the defendants must be
filed that Adolph Zukor, Jesse
Lasky and other corporations and
individuals named in the Govern
ment's complaint, would similarly
file answers denying the charges.
The Famous Players brief as.
serted that the conduct Of its bust.
ness had been legitimate In every
way and was aimed at improving
conditions in the motion picture
industry. 1t was specifically denied
that any attempt had been made
to restrain trade.
According to the Saenger brief,
40 per cent of the stock of the
New Orleans corporation was pur-
chased by the Georgia Enterprises,
Incorporated, a subsidiary of the
Southern Enterprises, Incorpo-
rated, which is said to be owned
b.I the Famous.Piayers Lasky corr
poration.
However, Ernest " Richards, jr !.
representing the Saenger interests,
declared that representatives of the
Georgia corporation had not been
permitted to sit on the board Of
his company.
