No matter where I am, and no
matter whether I'm in training or
not, stick pretty closely to ''the
simple Iife."
I'm always careful about what /
eat. / insist upon getting at least
several hours of outdoor exercise
every day, and I'm old-fashioned
enough to believe in the early to
bed and early to rise maxim of
childhood days.
The rules of good health are
simple enough for anybody to under
stand and to follow, and the rewards
that are to be reaped are well worth
what small trouble or sacrifice q
person mus. make.
In my own case, adherence to
this little formula helps me a great
deal. When / start training for a
bout, ] don't have to cut down a
lot OF superfuous weight. l don't
have to work frantical1y to get my
wind back. don't have to make
the sudden and violent changes in
my constitution that. in the end,

Plays For Two Teams
During Same Game
For Record

Catcher Jimmy Wilson, of the
Phillies, traded to the st. Louis
Cardinals, during yesterdays
game, is the only man in base
ball history, so far as known, who
ever changed club uniforms dur
ing a game.
Wilson was a Phil for two in
nings. then darted into Redbird
regalia, and sat on the st. Louis
bench for the remainder OF the
game.
The closest approach to the
Wilson episode occurred to Harry
Davis, of Philadelphia, of the Ath-
letics. Harry played in a double
header one day.
He was a member of one club
in the first bill, and of the for
mer's foe in the second. Davis
trade was unique until Wilson
came along to rob him Of that
oddly.

INDIAN MAULED
BY GALLAGHER

Standing up doughty and display
ing great durability, Leo Gates, the
Mohawk Indian from New York
State. lasted 10 rounds with Marty
Gallagher, the young Irish heavy
weight of Foggy Bottom, In Phila-
delphia last night. Marty took all
of the 10 periods and the decision
after the one.sided bout had ended.
If the Indians object was to stay
the route with the seeking Gallagher
he succeeded and without great
deal of trouble. Gallagher 0as.ed
Gates with everything but the ring
posts.
Then the Gates socks lacked
venom and failed to check the
Onrush Of the Irishman, but they
were futile drives that Marty
launched, for the veteran Gates
kept him we'll tied up at close
quarters, where most Of the &C.
ton took place.
Gallagher kept UP constant fire
Of short hooks to the head and body.
A cut was opened on Gates left
cheek in the fourth round. and the
blood flowed freely throughout the
remaining rounds.

elimination in the first round was
all but taken for granted when he
drew for an opponent the medalist,
Harry q Pitt, of Manor Club, who
had negotiated the difficult course
on a rainy day in one over par.
Pitt must have thought he had a

of brilliancy. He quickly wiped out

game from the Tigers, 9 to s.. ossie

master workman.
In the second Ossie opened with a
single to center and scored. In the
third he came with one gone and
Barnes on first. A slashing two-bag-

he chased him over on Tate's single.

NEW FILM THEATRE TO
HAVE FOUR SCREENS

The new moving picture theatre
nearing completion at So West
Eighth St., is to be opened early in
january by the Film Guild Cinema.
In the new theatre films can be
projected simultaneously on four
screens, three of which are black.
The whole interior architecture Of
the house can be transformed to
whatever setting is appropriate to
the picture being shown.
Details of the design have been
learned from Frederick Kiesler Of
Vienna, the architect and stage de-
signer, formerly with the Interna-
tional Theatre Exposition. who is
directing the construction of this
theatre and is responsible for its
many innovations. The theatre en-
bodies some of the ideas that he
worked out in Paris and Berlin and
in New York.
The spectator in this theatre-it
will seat 50o-will find himself in
a eall resembling the inside of an
ordinary camera with the bellows
extended. He will be facing, as the
Photographic film does, the cameras
shutter.
The walls of the theatre are par
allel, but he will not see them, for,
rlaced out from each of them is a
l!Hrk screen that spans the entire
hall, running at an angle to meet
the stage arch. They are Joined
over!' lad by another black screen
that shuts off the entire ceiling and
slopes down TO meet the top of the
stag arch. The stage itself has a
completely new form, which Mr..
i 'sler calls the "screenoscope,"
which is a device providing new
openings fer the screen, eliminating
the pro"enium End the usual cur
tains. The whole, funnel-like thea
ire is thus one huge four-sided
screen. The picture can be thrown
on all four screens at once so that
the spectators themselves are sud-
denly and literally Immersed" in
the drama that is being played.

He then put in an appearance at the
meeting with an entire staff of tech
meal workers of the social-demo-
cratic party and the S. D. paper,
who had nothing to do with the
building workers, and thus achieved
his aim. They declared that it was
unnecessary to change the present
wage rates, and that the present
agreement was "inviolable and sac
red"
This announcement caused wide
spread indignation at the meeting,
which was comprised in the main Of
members of the reformist organiza-
ton. The reformist leaders were
ousted from the premises where the
meeting was to be held, but the po-
lice subsequently interfered and dis
banded the gathering. The next
which was fixed for Oc-
tober 80, was announced unlawful,
under the pretext that it threatened
The general peace.
