INTO CARDS

ST. LOUIS, July II. - Mystery
shrouds the findings in a meeting
called by Commissioner K. M. Ian.
dis at the request, of Sam Breadon,
owner of the st. Louis Cardinals, 10
Investigate charges of alleged tam
pering with players by the Boston
Braves. 1t was alleged by Brea-
don, according to available advices
here that the Braves lured Alan
Sotheron away from the Cardinals.
Breadon presented his case
to Commissioner Lands at q
National League meeting in New
York last month.
Commissioner Lands flew down
from Chicago, went into huddle
with the boys, reserved decision and
hoped back to the comparatively
cooling breezes of Lake Michigan.
Anything that is said will be said by
Lands.
Alan sotheron, it Is said, developed
by Hornsby after the Texan was
made manager of the Boston Braves,
asked for post with the Braves,
which was summarily refused be-
cause Sotheron belonged to the
Cards.
But SotherOn is said to have
obtained permission to dicker
with any club, and since he and
Hornsby are pals, SotherOn
sought work with his friend.
|
All went we'll for a while but
pretty soon Sam Breadon thought
| he detected a large colored person
| in the woodpile. He conducted a
brief investigation and then made
| his charges.
It was strictly a star chamber
meeting, and the findings will re-
main a secret until the high COM
missioner is ready to announce
them.

Six National League clubs
are ''seeing red" today, for
two teams sporting crimson
garb are leading the pack with
the jump Of the Cincinnati
Reds to second place.
The Reds winning streak Of
seven games has put them ahead Of
the New York Giants, while the st.
Louis Red Birds. four and one-half
games ahead OF Cincinnati, have
dropped only one game to the East
ern invaders during their present
home stand.
All the Eastern teams except
Brooklyn are being taken to the
cleaners with neatness and dis
patch by the western outfits. And
an even break IS the best the
Dodgers have been able to get.
Home runs are keeping the
Cardinals in front. The club

cialty, with a total of So for the
season, IA more than the Giants
and is more than the Cubs.
Four circuit clOuts-two by
High, a. substitute, and one
apiece by Hafey and Harper
and a five-hit performance by
Spittin' Clarence Mitchell gave
the Cards to 1 win ovef the
Giants yesterday.
When the Reds 1eered at the
horrible fielding of the BROOKLYN
players, Pitcher Buzz McWeeney
lost both his control and his SELF
control and tried to beat I'D the
whole Porkville team. He was led
off the field mumbling the alphabet

yesterday.
II don't see anything wrong with
his footwork," declared McCue. IF
you ask me I think he gets around
briskly for big man. I haven't
seen him get his dogs tangled up
yet. He seems to know what to do
with them and if you notice he is
always in front of his man.
IT saw him in several fights and

his men with no frills or arm
fiourishes, took what they dealt out

MercuriO gave the burly New

Swiderski was hard pressed in
the second round when he was
a bit daZed from Toms vigorous
punching.
Armand Emanuel is due here to-
end Of the week. Big Ralph Smith,
the Los Angeles fireman, checked in

ALASKA FEATURE IS
 SHOWING AT COLISEUM

A strong, surging drama of Al aska, pivoting on a strong, silent and infinitely cruel man. two weak, babbling women. a cour- agecus girl and spoiled rich mans son who finds himself in the country where his father made his wealth, came to the Coliseum Theatre yesterday when "The Isle of Retribution," was shown here for the first time.
 Edison Marshall's story, adapted by Fred Myton, swings out of the average tale of the snowy wastes with a vengeance. Powerful situ- ations, unexpected twists, excel. lent comedy make it splendid vehicle for a particularly talented group of thespians. Lillian Rich is starred, and she eclipses the most brilliant work of her career in the role of Bess Gilbert. Rob ert Fraser is splendid as the pam pered heir to great wealth. Both of these are strong parts, but the prize role fell to Victor McLaglen, who plays "Doomsdorf," the half mad bruiser whose experiences in the Siberian salt mines have em- bittered him against the world and who takes out his brutality on the luckless adventurers who

GOOD MYSTERY FEATURE
 NOW SHOWING, PALACE

Frances Marion's splendid Met ropolitan production, Paris at Midnight" which had it's premier showing at the Palace Theatre, last night, startingly reveals the lives and loves of the Parisians. The story is based on Dalzac's famous novel "Pere Goriot.o and deals with the dramatic side of Goriot, who gives his all so that his two daughters may live in luxury and ease. It is an intense mystery story.
 A feature of the picture, which was greatly admired, is the bril- liant Parisian ball. The daring costumes and dances which outdo anything hitherto screened arc shown amid settings of unrivalled splendor.
 A splendid cast was assembled under the direction of E. Mason Hopper. The featured players are Jetta Goudal, Lionel Barrymore, Mary Brian and Edmund Burns. Emile Chautard, Mathilde Co- mont, Brandon Hurst and Jocelyn Lee are among the supporting players.

MUSIC MASTER" IS
 COMING TO COLISEUM

In The Music Master" the Fox production which will have a showing at the Coliseum tomor. row, Lois Moran lays aside the slim, straight Patou gowns she brought back from Paris to don the sweeping, beruffled creations of twenty years ago. Strangely enough, she looks as lovely in one type as the other, perhaps because her beauty has spiritual quail ty which adapts itself to all fash ions and all ages.
 Tt was fortunate that her hair was not bobbed," said Allan Dwan, who directed the production, flor if it had been, she would have had to wear wig, and that al ways gives an unreal effect" One of MT. Dwan's most difficult prob lems in connection with the film ing of "The Music Master" was the finding of unbobbed girls for both the principal roles and the big scenes where extras were re- quired.
 MT. Dwan tries for reality when
