LIFE DRAMA BEHIND SCENES IS THEME IF
 THE MARRIAGE CLAUSE"

The most dramatic part of the dramatic stage is the stage itself, the lives of the players, the incessant ac- tivities taking place beyond sight of the audience, the veritable beehive of industry that goes to prepare and exhibit any particular dramatic offer 1 ing.
 The show must go on!
 That is the device blazoned on the escutcheon of the modern Thalia No matter what heartbreaks and sorrows within the breast of the actor, he must display smiling front and a. deceiving blithsomeness.
 Leoncavallo sounded the keynote of the true son of Thespis when he com posed his immortal "Pagilacci." A laugh may hide a tear, a smile may bury a bruised soul The unwritten ethical law of the real player demands that all personal reactions be subvert- ed for the cause of drama Come what may, the show must go on!
 This is the theme of Dana Burnett's famous story, "Technic", which ap- peared in The Saturday Evening Post" and which has been transferr- ed to the screen as a Universal-Jew- el, under the title of The Marriage Clause" It will be the feature at traction at the Liberty theatre, to- night

FIGHTS GOOD
AT MERCEDES
l Kayos Self Trying
To Hit Opponent;
Fine Prelims
BY DOC" COOK

MERCEDES, July 24.-Real
fighing, plenty Of action and one un-
usual event is the summing up Of Al
Robinson's fight card here last
night.
Robinson more than made good on
his boast that he would present TO
thefans a good card in spite Of his
inability to secure the services of
Carlos Garcia and Bill PodraEa.
There was action galore from the
first preliminary until the fourth
round OF the main event and here
might be injected a little comedy
with a touch Of pathso.
Sam Riley, Altus, Ok, battler, and
Pedro Guerra. San Antonio, were
the boys in the opposite as
the fight started.
Round one opened slowly with
Guerra, the taller and with a longer
reach and better foot work, trying
to make Riley lead so that he might
counter. Hardly a blow was struck
during this round.
Round two found both boys feel
ing each other out and in this ses-
sion there was a little mitigating
with the Mexican boy having n little
the best of it.
Round three opened fast with
Guerra stabbing a wicked left into
the Oklahoma Irishman's face and
on two occasions he crossed with a
hard right to the jaw. Riley landed
two haSd lefts and a right just be-
fore the bell.
Round four opened slowly when
suddenly Riley rushed across the
ring and made a short wild swing,
catching Guerra on the jaw. He
wobhled a Titles but Immediately got
inside and pounded away at Riley's
body. Riley, apparently elated at
the success of his wild swing de-
cided that he would again take an
other. Stepping back he jumped
and swung but there was nothing but
air for the blow to land on and
Brother Riley made a complete flop
on his neck and shoulders. He stag
gered up and again took a round
house swing, and this time landing
clear outside Of the rings. complete
" Out by his own strenuous efforts
70 land a blow. IL was some time
before he came to. Referee Talbert
counted him out.
Riley is apparently a good tough
boy and might have made a better
fight Of il. Guerra seems TO Be n
beautiful boxer and a fair ring
general.
The real action Of the evening was
provided in the eight-round semi
windup bringing together Kid Mon
terrey, well known here, and one
Pedro Andretti Of Tampico. This
Pedro person is plenty good and he
outfought and outslugged Monter-
rey and had it on him in every a
save n point, that Of gameness.
The fight VAS scarcely two rounds
old before Monterrey realized that
he had a real fight on his hands and
tried vainly 70 come up 70 the stan
dard set by Andretti but Just
couldn't make the grade. Pedro
beat the kid at long range, pounded
him numerically in the mitigating

and made him miss often. Monter-
rey never gave up trying and was
still swinging away when the final
bell ended hostilities. Andretti's
weight was announced rs Ia, while
Monterrey's was 12i.

The youngsters certainly knew their
stuff and pleased the large crowd

the crowd why Podraza and Garcia
did not show up-one had a spraln-

Prince said, was that they had been

SPUDS
TIE UP AGAIN
Houston Takes Loops
Only Battle From
Dallas | to 0
(By The Associated Press)

Houston and Wichita Falls again
are deadlocked for first place in the
Texas league as a result Of Mondays
abbreviated play. The Bluffs defeated
Dallas, l TO 0, while other clubs rest
ed.
Although the Steers have been
given a setback and are two games
behind the leaders in the percentage
column, Dallas fans continue TO spec
ulate on possibilities for a playoff
in September. Many are pulling for
a Houston-Dallas series, on grounds
that IL would draw we'll, perhaps bet
ter than a Dixie series. President
j. Doak Roberts is neutral, however,
averring that for general interest as
reflected in gate receipts any play
off will bring in the customers and
the Dixie series is supreme in Texas.
Good pitching featured the Hous-
ton game as Hallahan and Blanken-
ship tangled in a duel which for near
ly the entire contest had opposing
batters at their wits ends for hits.
The Bluffs run came in the first
round and was unearned, following a
momentary cracking Of the Steer de-
Tense. Hallahan in particular was in
excellent form, possibly in revenge
for the lacing he received at Dallas
Friday. He held the Steers to seven
hits and struck out six, running his
seasons record of strikeouts TO 164.
The victory was Hallahan's 10th this
season.

Babe Ruth's fortieth home Of the
