supposed to run and hide in each of the barrels- At the appointed mo- ment the player with the high hat carefully removed it and jumped into the barrel. The other player feeling mischievous, jumped into the same barrel and kept wigglil.G his way down. The antics of the actor with the nat were amusing as were his comments 10 his fellow occupant of the barrel. Miraculously he saved the hat.
 The Y. NJ. T. A. & B. society pre- scented dramas several years before the days of the musical comedy. In one of these scenes an actor was supposed to give farewell speech at the top of an imaginary body of water and was then slated to jump. Mattresses were laid to break the fall and two men were posted on each side to throw pails Of water into the air.
 The actor gave his last SD -cch and then jumped. The sound of his landing could he heard all over the theatcr. While the farewell speech was being delivered one of his fcl- low actors pulled the mattresses away and the fall was broken" by the floor. Strickly following their instructions, the holders of the wa ter pails threw the water in the air when he landed.
 In another of these dramatic pro- auctions one of the actors shouted "A horse. horse. my kingdom for, a horse" At this critical moment someone lowered a saw horse from flies.
 Many boys and girls who are now in their a0's remember the famous matinees which were presented at the l.yceum theater. Many a thrill was gained by the audience down. stairs when they'd soc the children walking dangerously near the rai;s in the second balcony.
 The late Dennis O'keefe had charge of the children and he had a busy afternoon. On of their favor ite tricks was to step from the gal lery on the third floor to box from which they would go down to the first balcony. The noise was deaf. cnins and it grew in volume the later the show was. in starting. It never began on time.

PADDOCK DECIDES

kinepln Of Sprintars to Become
 Member of Relay Team

', Los Angeles, Cal. May 25 R1 The cinderpath has not yet seen the last of Charles Paddock. for more than . decade the king pin of the sprinters. Despite his announce. ment that he would retire, Paddock yesterday decided to take a turn a. a sprint relay runner.
 Paddock. veteran of some 15 years on the cinderpath. promised officials of the Los Angeles Athletic club that he would run on the clubs sprint relay teams in the National A. A. U. championships at Denver, Colo, July to 5.
 Eve still got some races left in me" the famous racer said to the club officials. II won't enter the open dashes in the senior meet. but you can put me down as member of the sprint relay team"
 Paddock announced shortly after the 1928 Olympic games that he was definitely retiring, from the track. He reiterated the decla ra- ton recently in the east but the years he spent in running left their imprint upon him. He has been working out in Pasadena. and has found that his legs are not entirely without their old time dash and power.
 It was said the return to tine cin- derpath of Jackson ScholtZ. like Paddock, a member of three Olym- pic teams, had much to do with Paddock's emergence from his sup posed retirement. Learning that Scholtz would run at Denver as q member of the New York Athletic clubs relay teams. Paddock said: 'I cant let that old boy get ahead of me-"

Sports Chats
With
Hal Eustace

Valley fans want their fights. A
fair sized crowd attended the fights
at ReynoSa Sunday afternoon, de-
spite the counter attractions over
the countryside. A good r0wdy
time was enjoyed by all. Hinojosa
was knocked from his pedestal with
two stiff punches delivered by Sui
~ Montgomery. The Brownsville
leather singer appeared to be
faster than the former Centre col
lege football star. But Bob could
mt lay on effective blows His
blows lobbed and lolled off the side
Of the husky Fort Worth battler's
head. The towel was thrown in
the second round.
The old Anvil Sonata broke loose
into an indignant clamor when Kid
Gilbert was awarded a decision over
Brooks Hooper Of Brownsville. The
fans refused to allow Referee Bob
Conner TO make an announcement.
Each time he raised his hands for
silence. the boots and catcalls in
creased to loudspeaker volume. The
thing finally got so personal that
Conner invited ne crying customer
into the ring, saying they would
settle things right there. The fan
was q highly animated spectator.
but rs a participant he rated NIL
The decision "a returned by two
judges and the referee. Ralph Bray
of Mission and Ramon Becerril Of
Brownsville were the judges and
Conner was the referee. Bray saw
q draw. Becceril had them even UP
until the ninth. He gave the fight
TO Gilbert on his showing In the
tenth. Connor evidently sided with
Becceril.
A draw" decision is more or less
q case of diplomacy. We doubt very
seriously If there ever was a draw
fought. Someone gets the better
of the points. although the battlers
look evenly matched. There are
many blows passed and blocked
during ten rounds. A draw, II such
q thing should really occur would
be a strange coincidence. But-how
much easier 1t is to say draw"
when the boys look evenly matched.
One is sure to get a yelping rise
out Of someone when he renders a
verdict In a close fight. Draw Is
generally acceptable to all. Even
the promoter, for he'll get another
fight Out Of 1t.
Hooper proved himself a game lit
tie gentleman by stopping the cat
calls. He stepped into the ring and
announced that he was satisfied
with the decision. Gilbert was chal-
lenged to a return match on a win
ner-take-all basis. Gilbert accept
