Hollywood YOUNG
HAVE NO ILLUSIONS
But Few Youngsters There Are
SCreen.StruCk

Hollywood. Cal, June il. R-
Boys and girls who go to high
school in Hollywood are not eager
10 enter the movies.
William H. Snyder says so, and
he should know. He has been prin-
cipal OF the Hollywood high school
for nineteen years. and has seen the
studios here grow from cheap eX-
periment.s in barns TO great picture
plants covering many acres and
costing many millions.
Yet IN all that time he has never
seen his students get excited over
i chance to break into the movies;
wen though some of them take the
chance when it is offered.
Questionnaircs filled ont by men,
bers OF the last graduating class
revealed 81 per cent planned TO go
on TO college.
There is no distance here" OK
planned the veteran schoolman. ''to
end enchantment to the thought of
Hollywood and motion pictures.
our students live in Hollywood and
they see screen celebrities as often
rs they see policemen or fireman.
Talk of fabulous film salaries
Ioes not impress these boys and
girls. They know little OF the
other side of film life. Perhaps the
actor next door cannot pay his rent,
or the girl acquaintance who was
headed for stardom a few months
ago has had to give up her automo-
bile. They knew that real screen
success usually means a long up
wafd climb. with many hardships
and pitfalls"
Hollywood high school graduates
IRE easy to find in the motion pic
ture studios, Snyder observed. but
the percentage is no greater than
it would be if the studios were
wagon factories or any other in
dustries.
Not long ago producer was
looking for girl with the face OF
the Madonna. He thought the type
he sought might be among the girls
of Hollywood high school. Snyder
and his assistants cooperated in
the search, but there was no stam-
pede. It was Just a chance to act
N the movies.
Some of the undergraduate stu
dents already work in pictures.
They are absent from school sew
eral weeks at time, but they come
back when the picture is finished
and 70 on with their school work.

(BY JIMMY POWERs)

New York, June 21.-Wherever there's gold you'll find a good miner.
 A long, long time ago a smart fellow named Snookum Jim made a strike on Bonanza Creek out in the Klondike. He had pal named Tex, who didn't amount to shucks as a panhandler. But Tex opened the biggest gambling house north of 53 and became famed as keeper of the Northern" saloon.
 But deep down in his heart, Tex longed to be successful miner like his pal, Snookum Jim. He dealt cards, raked in chips and bought whisley in wholesale lots for many a year.
 Then one day he made a strike. He mined a nifty bit of gold out in, approximately enough, Goldfield, Nevada. He promoted the Cans Nelson fight and drew down a lot of pay dirt.
 There's gold in them thar box ing bills" unused Tex. whose last name was Rickard.
 This summer, to bring our little yarn up to date. this miner is swing ing his pick into the juciest outdoor season of bouts the boxing world has ever seen.
 He will take in. he says. more than s2.0O0.000 in receipts.
 He has certain nose-busters lined up, among whom are Jack De- laney, Mike McTigue, Jim Maloney, Jack Sharkey. Pauline Uzcudun, not to mention Champion Gene Tunney, who will draw a steady stream of dollars into the claims he has staked out in wooden arenas.
 During his life, Rickard estimates he has taken in more than slo.00o.- 900 in boxing receipts alone.
 Fifteen of his fights have drawn gates of more than s150,00o. eleven more than s2OO,OO0, nine more than s300.000, six more than s400,000, four more than s5oo00 three more than s1,000,00o, and one twice that sum.
 More than half of these receipts have been clear profits.
 The velvet in other sports has been nearly as high. The last six day bike race, for instance. drew re- ceipts of s400,o00 and his expenses were only s1o0,n0o.
 Because Tex has been such a competent miner. his associates in the Madison Square Garden Cor poration gave him big testimonial dinner at the Commodore here May 16.
 Famous figures in finance, politics, the professions, sports, all kinds Of notables were there.
 Snookum Jim made mining history in the klondike.
 He was a piker compared to his pal, Tex.

PIRATES DOWN CUBS IN
 SINGLE CONTEST PLAYED
League Leaders Hold Their Narrow Margin In National League = Johnny Booch Slams Out Homer As De- cisive Hit of Game - Giants Back For Eastern Campaign - Rain DrowRs Out Other Games Scheduled In American League-Important Battles Today.

Splitting even on their two-game series. the league-leading Pirates and Cubs turned their batting bar Iages upon slightly less formidable foes today.
 When the Pirates downed their challengers. the Cubs. by 4 to o yesterday, they not only retained their narrow margin of leadership in the league. but also held the lead in the private duel between the two clubs. Of 12 games they have play ed, the Pirates have won and the Cubs 5. Chicago missing a chance to tie yesterday.
 After being t-pitched. out-hit Pirates came back strong for their victory. To win they needed the best efforts of their league-leading stars Lee Meadows who has won bet ter percentage of games than any other National league hurler. Paul Waner who is setting the pace in runs. hits, double and triples. and Harris who has the best batting average.
 The decisive hit of the game. how ever. was homer from the bat of Johnny Gooch, Pirate catcher. in the sixth with two men on. Hack Wilson of the Cubs, who leads, the league in homers famed with three on base in the third. and Stephen son, another of the hard-hitting Chicago outfielders, missed a similar chance in the ninth. Murderer's Row was meek before the slants of Meadows. and Grimm with two blows in three chances was the only Chicago batsman who could hit him with any consistency The Cubs made only hits to 12 for the Pi- rates off Carlson.
 As though purposely giving the whole stage to the Pirate-Cub bat tie. rain drowned out the only other two games scheduled. both in the American league.
 Road trips ending. the Giants looked forward to a fat few weeks with the eastern teams after meet ing many hard knocks in the west Meanwhile their three rivals in the first division-Pirates. Cubs and Cardinals will be fighting 1t out largely between themselves. The Cubs open series with the Cards with double header. while the Buc- cancers meet easier opposition in the Reds.
