And when the going was
tough-as every amateur
finds it after he deserts the
simon pures-the name
stuck, although he was be-
coming a frequent canvas
kisser.
He went up and down
fast.
After an auspicious start,
he realized that his chin was
neither concrete nor Bes-x

as 10-cent store china and
Zone Round" Flanagan be-
came jocularly synonymous
with the fact that he
couldn't last one round.
But he was a good trial
horse, just the middle
weight to trot out before an
apprasing public when a

a round or two, he was
eligible to the next test. If

who with a flourish finished
pouring the bromo from one
glass into another. ''Better
drink it in a hurry, big boy,
or it'll go flat. "
Flanagan gulped, almost
choked, and gazed wide-eyed
at Agnes.
Introduce me, ehf''
asked Flanagan, his sore
eyes widening.
"Sure, Z" "Cap" obliged.
"This is Agnes. Agnes, this,

took a new interest in life.
A moment before he didn't
care whether or no he ever
fought again. In fact, he
was all for peace at any
price and no purse, until
Agnes, with chemically
blonde tresses and a Clara
Bow smile, raised the cur
tain of his career and let
some sunshine in on him.
But Flanagan was not a

at the hotel, where he and
"Cap" occupied adjoining
rooms.
Flanagan rose in his
corner when introduced. He
shook his hands aloft to the
intermingled cheers and
jeers from the crowd and
then blanched. Three rows
from the ring, Agnes looked
at him with an intense fire
in her eye.

he asked "Cap."

Flanagan conceded IA
pounds to Garcia, but the
Italian lacked the experience
that most city preliminary
fighters have. And Flan-
nagan, aroused, tore in
again and again, pumping a
devastating right to the for
eigner's heart.
He looked over Garcia g
shoulder and saw Agnes
little hands clenched, as she
stared fixedly at him. He
smiled assuringly at her.
From somewhere out of
the native wilds Of Uruguay
came a long lefthand, loop

part of Zone Round s" jaw

silly grin come over his face.

ropes and pulled himself
partly up.

and never appeared on the

LOVE LECTURE
FEATURE AT
STRAND

Love Life" the title given to
the program at the Strand
Theater this week is doubtless
meant to label a short screen
subject dealing with the wonders
and mysteries of the creation Of
humanity and then again it may
be intended as a title for a stage
presentation where living models
are used to illustrate some points
of a lecture by w. G. Gallagher
on the same subject.
While the screen portion of the
bill in this particular instance
will hardly prove edifying, it may
be of interest to those seeking
information along these lines. MIR.
Gallagher's lecture was clear and
to the point and was listened to
with interest by those present.
THE Girl of the River" a
screen story of life and love along
the banks of the Mississippi re-
lieved the shadows with swift
action and a splendid climax. A
smart screen comedy concluded
the program. The MANAGE
ment announces that women will
be admitted to performances on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
with Thursday and Friday re-
served for male patrons.
