ports that Chicago promoters were
bidding for such a bout.
Pete Reilly, manager of Delaney,
hight heavyweight champion, is re-
turning from conference with
Floyd Fitzsimmons and Jim Mullen
in Chicago and Fitzy:mmons is said
to be on his way to Los Angeles to
talk with the deposed heavyweight
king.
Local fight fans are in virtual
agreement that a Dempsey Delaney
encounter would establish the right
or one or the other to term himself
the logical contendero as the fis-
tic phrase goes, for Gene Tunney's
crown.
Promoter Humbert Fugazy in New
YORK has been mentioning Delaney
in discussions with Tunney, while
Promoter Tex Rickard is known to
favor return bout with Dempsey.
If the two fighters could arrange
matters between themselves, it
would settle the insistent argument
as to whether the light Delaney, de
spite his speed and beautiful fight.
ing technique, is of heavyweight
calibre.
According to friends of Reilly, the
bout, if it went to Chicago, proba-
bly, would be held in May, leaving
the way open for a championship
match in September.
Should the bout prove the finan-
cial success expected, the Chicago
promoters could be counted on to
give spirited competition to Fugazy
and Rickard in landing the fight for
the title. 1t is understood that De
laney was offered 100000 to fight
Dempsey.
Since other promoters, including
sportsmen from Baltimore and
Philadelphia may be expected to
make offers for the fight, it is
probable that the next heavyweight
championship go will see the hcav-
lest winner s end in history
Riekard probably will go to St.
Louis next week, where Tunney is
filling vaudeville engagement.
The promoter is believed prepared
to offer the champion as high as
$750,000 70 ra titular bout to be held
at the Yankee stadium in Septem-
Der, consideration Of which be Tun-
ney must leave him with the belief
that this new years brings promise
of an interesting and highly remun-
erative twelve months.

Rollicking Mary Pickford is back

Rollicking Mary Pickford is back
again!
The famous little star, whose
screen masterpieces have delighted
millions throughout the world, has
produced another great picture -
which has been called her greatest
and it is coming to the Valley thea
ter for three days starting tomorrow.
Mays newest picture is "Spar-
rows. 1t deals with the adven-
lures of a band of youngsters on a
baby farm. While there is a little
message in the picture, as there is
in all good pictures, "Sparrows -
first of all is entertainment and the
sort of entertainment that Mary
Pickford fans like.
Mary is east as "Mama Mollie, -
the little girl who mothers the for
lorn children on the baby farm. She
pilots them through many adven-
lures providing much laughter, many
thrills and not a few tears.
That is Miss 'Pickford s unfailing
recipe for an evenings entertain
ment and in Sparrows she is
said to have one of the best pic
lures she has ever made.
What heretofore has been taboo in
western productions - what has
been looked upon with a frown by
hOr tnS
and ordered off the set, is now well
come. The wrist watch, new fran
gled cigarette lighters, slick hair
cuts for male members of the cast,
silk stockings, the latest in bootery
and millinery and gowns for the
feminine players, are thrice welcome.
This happens in the filming of
Peter B. Kyne's story, "Pals in
Paradise,' which George B. Seitz
directed for Metropolitan Pictures
corporation, and which will be pre-
sented at the Palace thcater next
Sunday and Monday. The filming 9
of this story skaters traditions In
picture making for the reason that
pals in Paradisc' is an ultra
modern story Of the west-of the
founding of a new gold camp.
And in the place of the numbering
prairie schooner, blackboard and
buggy for conveyance, the flivvcr
high priced ears of all makes and
vintages as we'll as the "plane' are
utilized.
In lieu of the first building to be
erected on location-that of gen.
eral store, we see the gasoline filling
station taking its place. There is
not mad scramble to procure fuel
for the fire-but modern camp cook
ing stoves, fueled with gasoline, and
instead of eating the food from a
large wooden chip, modern camping
equipment comes into use.

Time Of Flood

WASHINGTON Nov. 10 F9.--Criti-
cisln of flood control methods OF the

control work in the Mississippi valley

said congress ''l1aS never been dere-

Representative Sears, republican,
Nebraska, said that the army engl-
neers showed they were not pre-
pared for the flood by the fact that
'.they had to take until December l
to prepare a flood control plan for

The criticism of the engineers and
the commission was expressed after
Alexander Fitzhugh and Frank H.

measures and Mr.. Andrews had urged
that the flood control problem be lett
