REMARKABLE ROL LER- SKATING ACT
HEADS LAST week Of VAUDEVILLE

A sort of glorified swan song of
vaudeville for the winter season; OPP
ened for three-day run at the
Opera House yesterday afternoon
and last night. Attesting to the
remarkable hold these weekly offer
ings have had upon the patrons,
there was the largest matinee
crowd of the winter and In the eve
ming many were turned away. 1t
seemed as IL they realized the pass
ing. for a time at least, of some
thing greatly to be desired and did
not want to miss out.
Manager Williamson's offering
for the final week is of the high or
der of entertainment that has been
characteristic of the five-team bill
ings for the entire winter season.
Easily the best act Is that of the
trio Mulroy, McNiece and Ridge and
skating stunts of truly won
derful caliber. Not only do they
demonstrate extraordinary skill in
skating, but add novelty touch In
single, double and triple buck and
wing dancing, clogs and jigs as well
as the Charleston.

cate of ALTERATION, early grips I'M

darby songs and conversation, She
is altogether a most likable negro

act pulls genuins surprise.

FLOWERS THIRD "SOUTHPAW''
FIGHTER TO HOLD A TITLE
(By Dispatch A. P. Wirel

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Acquisi-
ZION of the worlds middleweight
championship by Tiger Flowers
through a judges decision over
Harry Greb marked the elevation of
the third "southpaw'' fighter to a
puglictic throne. Oddly enough, both
former lefthanded champions were
middleweights-Al Mccoy and Johnny
Wilson.
No other division ever has devel-
oped a modern 1eft-handed title
holder, although Lew Tender of
Philadelphia and George Ok. o.
CLANCY of Baltimore attained the
front rank of challengers for the
lightweight and featherweight
crowns, respectively, in the heyday
of Benny Leonard and Johnny Kill
bane, Paul Berlenbach, the present
light heavyweight king, was a ma
tural southpaw until his trainer,
Dan Hickey, altered his style.

NEW YORK, March 23,--Nine Sixty

Tribune handicap for three year

rain pouring down. The mile was

before the start Of the program.
Casanova accounted for the feature
with Great Woods second and San
ota third. The time for the six fur
longs was 1921. Word was received
at the track that ]. w. Shewbridge

from Baltimore and that Kenneth
Karwick was on his way from Hav-
ana with four. J. A. Hall, has ar
rived with 10 head from Tampa.

GRID GAME NOT
SLOWED BY new
RULE, SAYS HALL

NEW YORK, March 23.-The belief
among numerous coaches that the
new football rule penalizing incom-
pleted forward passes will rob the
gridiron game of many of it's spec
tacular aerial features is not shared
by Edward K. Hall, of New York,
chairman of the football rules COM
mittee.
Discussing today the rule, under
which a team making more than
one incompleted pass is set back five
yards for each attempt Mr. Hall OK
pressed to the Associated Press his
conviction that it will not hamper
any well developed aerial attack,
such as those exhibited last season
by Dartmouth, Michigan, Princeton
and Washington.
Hall asserted the rule is aimed
solely at the indiscriminate passing
efforts of teams which use this
mode of attack as last minute re-
sort AS a matter of fact, he indi-
Gated that, in the rules committees
opinion, the one question is whether
the penalty decided upon is severe
enough to check the ill-conceived
type of passing.

VOLLEY BALL
FOOTBALL
BOXING
HUGHES THINKS
RULES CHANGE
HELPS FOOTBALL.

FORT COLLINS, Colo, March %
The forward pass penalty rule adopt
ed by the national football rules
committee in New York last week
will tend to. curb a fault creeping
into the game with the promiscuous
use of the overhead game in a crisis,
That is the belief of Harry Hughes,
director of athletics at Colorado
agricultural college, a member of the
committee who is back from his
eastern trip
The new rule, which penalties
more than one forward pass attempt
during any series of plays between
first downs, Coach Hughes believes,
will tend to make a team consider
carefully before throwing away what
it knows about football and trust
ing to luck in pinch. The rule, he
declared will not affect the strategy
of the game in the least, since few
teams care to use more than one
forward pass in any series of plays.
Hughes says the committee was
unanimous on the rules adopted and
that before agreeing upon the for
ward pass penalty, considered its eff
fects from every possible angle. 1t
was agreed by all that the penalty
would be generally helpful to the
game.

the Chicago Cubs at Catalina and
the Pittsburg Pirates at Paso Robes,

might result from a too-steady diet

The schedule of the Cubs is char

when they leave for series of

they hop to Cincinnati, against. which

BABE RUTH is NOT ONE OF
-FOUR SWINGING HEAVY BATS


(By Dispatch A. p. wire)
NEW YORK, MARGIN 23.-Four
players share the distinction of
swinging the heaviest bats in the
major leagues. Babe Ruth, King of
sluggers, is not one of them-as y
matter of fact, his bludgeon is four
ounces lighter than the forty-six
ounce clubs welded by Eddie Roush
of the Cincinnati Reds, Ken Williams
of the st. Louis Browns, Hank Sc
vereid Of the Washington Senators
and Frank Snyder of the New York
Giants.
This quartet has succeeded to the
place once occupied by Hack Miller,
who had the reputation of being
the strongest man in baseball while
a member of the Chicago Cubs Mill
er toted wagon-tongue Weighing
fifty ounces.
Jacques Fournier and George Kelly,
first basemen of the Dodgers and
Giants, swing forty ounce sticks, but
the bat of Rogers Hornsby, champion
hitter of the National League and
successor to Ruth last year as home
run king weighs only thirty-six
ounces.

TENNIS FINALS

CANNES, France, March 2S-For
the second time rain today prevented
the playing of the finals match in
the women's singles of the Cam as

matches, and the French champion
ships scheduled for May and June.
Suzanne Lenglen returned to Nice
today looking fit after her rest in
the region of Lake Como. She said
she would play in no more Riviera

content herself with only few prac-
tice matches before leaving for Lon

appearance in championship tennis at
